Treating me like an islander, huh

"No justice! Where is heaven's reason?!"

Although Su Yang had a big appetite, he had eaten too much during dinner earlier and was now really stuffed. Looking at the sushi Tang Ziyun handed him, he honestly couldn't eat it, but having just accepted Ren Lingxi's offering, not accepting hers would seem a bit biased.

He looked at Tang Ziyun with a pleading expression: "Tang, I can't eat anymore..."

"No way, you have to eat one more. You're not fat, eat a little more."

"You still have three in this box. How about I give two to Old Meng and Fatty?"

"Sure."

"Great, great." Su Yang said as he took the box, turned around, and walked over to the two men.

"Here, one for each of you. I really can't handle any more."

Liu Bo stared at the sushi and swallowed his saliva: "Didn't you say I should cut back on carbs?"

"Oh, special circumstances call for special handling. Help me out, I really can't eat anymore."

"Alright, we'll reluctantly help you share a little bit of that happiness." The two said, reaching out to pick up the sushi and popping it into their mouths.

"Whatever a beauty gives tastes good." Liu Bo ate with lingering satisfaction. He hadn't been full to begin with, and could have finished this stuff all by himself no matter how much there was.

"Well then, why don't you two eat the last one too." Su Yang held the box forward.

"You eat this one yourself."

Su Yang had no choice but to pick up the last one and toss it into his mouth.

Just as he swallowed, another voice rang out.

"Su Yang!" Zhuang Mengli came running over, holding a box of salmon sashimi.

"What the heck! Again?!"

Before he could finish, Zhuang Mengli had already arrived in front of him. She picked up a piece of salmon sashimi with chopsticks, dipped it in some wasabi sauce, and held it to Su Yang's lips: "Open wide."

"I can't open at all."

"What's the matter? Getting shy?"

Su Yang covered his head: "I can't eat anymore."

"You have to eat even if you can't. I just bought these, haven't even had the first bite myself, and I thought of you first. Hurry up and open your mouth."

Su Yang looked hopelessly at Meng Wenzhou and Liu Bo, who were standing by watching.

"Hurry up! It won't taste good once it gets cold."

"Cold? Isn't this stuff always served cold?"

"Oh stop with the nonsense, open up." Zhuang Mengli said, raising her hand.

Seeing that she kept her hand raised, Su Yang had no choice but to open his mouth and eat it.

"Is it good?"

"I can't even taste it anymore." Su Yang shook his head while chewing.

"Let me try." Zhuang Mengli said, using the same chopsticks she had fed Su Yang with to pick up another piece of salmon and put it in her own mouth.

The two men watching had expressions that kept changing.

"Hmm, not bad. At least it's real salmon." Zhuang Mengli said, then turned and walked away.

Meng Wenzhou and Liu Bo shook their heads: "See that? She completely ignored us."

Just as Zhuang Mengli left, Pan Ning arrived.

Pan Ning came over carrying a small bowl. Only when she got closer did Su Yang see that there was a small octopus in her bowl. This snack was called octopus eggs—made from fresh small octopus combined with quail eggs, mixed with a special chili sauce, sugar, soy sauce, and other seasonings.

When Pan Ning walked over, she didn't ask Su Yang to eat right away. Instead, she looked at the three of them and asked, "What are you three staring at me like idiots for?"

"N-nothing much. Mainly because you're too beautiful." Meng Wenzhou laughed.

Pan Ning rolled her eyes at Meng Wenzhou, picked up the octopus from the bowl with her chopsticks, and took a bite.

Meng Wenzhou saw this and asked, "Is it good?"

Pan Ning nodded while chewing: "Not bad, just a little too sweet."

"Too sweet? Girls should cut back on sweet stuff. Give it to Old Su to eat."

Hearing this, Su Yang immediately turned his head and stared at Meng Wenzhou, muttering: "I'll eat you..."

"Okay, here, you eat it. I'll go buy something else." Pan Ning said, directly handing the octopus egg, which she had only taken one bite from, to Su Yang.

Su Yang paused and smiled: "Pan Pan, I can't eat anymore."

"You have such a big appetite, and now you're saying you can't eat? You have to eat it; we can't waste food."

Su Yang helplessly took the bowl: "Fine, go buy what you want. I'll eat it."

"That's more like it. Don't you dare throw it away, understand? You ate everything everyone else gave you. If you throw mine away, you know what'll happen." Pan Ning dropped the line and turned to leave.

After Pan Ning was gone, Meng Wenzhou and Liu Bo burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, eat up, Old Su!"

"You jerk, Old Meng, are you trying to treat me like a Japanese guy or what?"

"We'd love to be fed, but no one's offering us food. Look at you—in just a few minutes, how many beauties have come to bring you snacks? Count your blessings."

"Yeah, Brother Yang. Look how pitiful me and Brother Meng are."

Su Yang stared at the octopus in the bowl that had been bitten: "You guys want to eat it?"

"We do, but Pan Pan has already bitten it. Now only you can eat it. Can't help you there."

"I meant, do you want to eat? I'll go buy you two portions."

"No need, no need. What we want is to be fed by beauties. What's the point of buying it ourselves?"

Su Yang shook his head helplessly, picked up the octopus with his chopsticks, and started eating.

Although he was stuffed, he still finished the octopus in a few bites. Afterward, he took out a cigarette and lit it: "I can't take it anymore. If I eat any more, I'll really throw up."

Just then, Jiang Xiaotang also came running over to Meng Wenzhou, holding a portion of street food.

Seeing this, Meng Wenzhou looked at Liu Bo and smiled: "My personal feeding time has arrived. Sorry, Fatty, I'm not keeping you company anymore."

Liu Bo: "So I'm the clown after all?"

...

After everyone had wandered around the shopping street and snacked for a while, they finally spotted a maid café.

"Let's go, let's go. Now that we're full, time for a drink." Zhuang Mengli pointed to a maid café on the left side of the street ahead and walked toward it.

The others quickly followed.

When they reached the door of the café, they saw several racks in front displaying five posters of beautiful women. The women in the posters were wearing various kinds of sexy anime-style outfits, each one incredibly cute.

Liu Bo grinned: "Great place. Let's go in and have a feel."

Everyone pushed open the door and walked inside. As soon as they entered, they saw two cute girls wearing black-and-white short dress uniforms, pink cat ears on their heads, and white knee-high stockings.

Seeing customers walk in, the two girls immediately greeted them in a sweet, cutesy voice in Japanese: "Welcome home, master and princess~"

Except for Su Yang and Jiali Muxi, no one else understood what was said.

But just hearing the voice was enough. It was worth the visit.

The two girls smiled warmly as they led the group toward the front counter.

The café was spacious, and the interior decor was entirely in a cute style. The walls were pink, and the lighting was pink too.

Many spots on the walls were plastered with posters of various maids.

As soon as Liu Bo came to a place like this, he couldn't help but get excited. But remembering that Jin Xiangmei was still around, he reined himself in to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor.

Su Yang, Jiali Muxi, and the others went to the front counter to order. They started by ordering coffee for everyone.

Then the staff enthusiastically asked how many maids they wanted. Su Yang turned to the others and translated: "How about one per person, or what?"

"One per person?" Tang Ziyun was taken aback.

"Well, that's the specialty here. The owner said since we're a big group, the experience would be better if we sit separately."

"She sure knows how to sell it. If we do that, the price is going to be pretty steep."

“No worries, Zhuang Mengli is treating; she’s got money to burn.” Su Yang looked at Zhuang Mengli with a smile. “Right?”

“That’s right! Just like the boss said, we’ll split up, one girl for each of us—no, make it two each!”

“Whoa? That lavish?” Meng Wenzhou laughed.

“No kidding, if we’re gonna arrange it, we gotta go all out. Su Yang, you tell the boss: we split up, two girls per person!” Zhuang Mengli waved her hand grandly.

Su Yang gave Zhuang Mengli a thumbs-up. “Bold move!”
