Before long.
The waiter arrived in the private room with the menu.
Lin Yu ordered over a dozen dishes in one breath.
Naturally, he wouldn't waste them; he genuinely intended to pack them up and take them back.
With so many mouths waiting to be fed back at the apartment, he couldn't just enjoy a good meal by himself and forget about everyone else, right?
Besides, he wasn't the one paying, so it would be a waste not to eat.
Lei Siren's face darkened as he listened to Lin Yu list off the dishes.
When he reached the twelfth dish, Lei Siren finally couldn't help but say:
"That should be about enough, right? The two of you... probably can't eat that much for dinner, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Yu nodded in agreement and said:
"That does make sense!"
"This is just about enough for me. Weiwei is on a diet, so she doesn't eat dinner."
Lei Siren: "???"
For one person?
Are you kidding me!
Ordering this much for two people was already outrageous enough.
And it was actually just for Lin Yu alone?
Seeing Lei Siren's astute gaze, Xia Yiwei quickly explained:
"A professional boxer's appetite is a bit bigger than us ordinary people."
"This is completely normal. We ordered a little extra, is that okay?"
Hearing Xia Yiwei talking to him, Lei Siren felt his heart melting.
What a gentle and soft-spoken tone!
It had been a long time since he last heard Weiwei speak to him like this.
"Haha, of course it's no problem."
"Weiwei, if you're on a diet, you can actually eat something light."
"I noticed what Lin Yu just ordered doesn't seem to suit your taste."
"How about I order two more dishes for you?"
Lin Yu really wanted to give Lei Siren a round of applause.
What a heartwarming guy!
He didn't need you to do much.
As long as you could just speak to him nicely, his world would be filled with sunshine.
He would even be willing to pour his heart and soul out for you.
Setting aside his IQ, EQ, and ulterior motives, Lei Siren was actually quite a qualified backup guy.
Today, he would just consider it as giving him a lesson in how society worked!
"Waiter, that's all for the additions."
"There's no need to serve the newly added dishes; just pack them up to go."
"These few dishes are enough for the three of us."
Lin Yu returned the menu to the waiter and said politely.
Lei Siren: "???"
Damn it!
No need to serve them, just pack them up?
Didn't he just say it wasn't enough?
And now it's enough?
Lei Siren looked at Lin Yu in astonishment, finally realizing that Lin Yu was treating him like a sucker.
Xia Yiwei chimed in:
"Lin Yu doesn't like eating food that others have touched."
Lei Siren: "Alright, that's fine..."
Though he said it was fine, Lei Siren was already cursing up a storm in his heart!
Doesn't eat what others have touched...
A beggar complaining that his free meal is sour?
What exactly did Weiwei see in him?
A boxer, right!
Good, very good.
Today, he would test just how hard his fists really were.
While lost in thought.
Lei Siren grabbed his phone, stood up, and said to the two of them:
"You two eat first. I'm going to the restroom and will be right back."
Xia Yiwei's smile froze on her face, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
She didn't want to be alone with Lei Siren.
But right now...
She didn't dare to be alone with Lin Yu either!
Today, she had acted first and reported later, tricking Lin Yu into coming to the restaurant.
Even if she were to be punished, it would be a matter for later when they returned.
If Lei Siren went to the restroom, wouldn't that give Lin Yu the perfect opportunity to confront her?
Boohoo...
She never expected.
That her doom would come so quickly.
No matter how reluctant she was, Xia Yiwei couldn't say anything.
She couldn't exactly stop Lei Siren from going to the restroom; that would sound too weird.
With a smile on his face, Lin Yu watched Lei Siren leave and close the door to the private room.
"Weiwei, it's just the two of us now, huh?"
Xia Yiwei smiled awkwardly:
"Hehehe, yeah, this Lei Siren is really something!"
"You can tell he has kidney problems. We haven't even started eating, and he's already rushing to the restroom like crazy."
"Compared to you, Little Master, he's absolutely miles behind. Not on the same level at all."
"Little Master, hehehe..."
"Don't look at me like that, it's making me panic."
Lin Yu didn't entertain Xia Yiwei's joking remarks at all.
Instead, he looked at her calmly, wanting to hear what new tricks she could come up with.
Leaning back in his chair, Lin Yu spoke slowly:
"I was originally wondering why you would suddenly think of treating me to a meal when it wasn't a holiday or anything."
"I figured it might be a trap, but I didn't expect you brought me here to act in a play."
"And playing such a heavyweight role at that!"
"You didn't even give me a heads-up beforehand, hahaha..."
Hearing Lin Yu's laughter, Xia Yiwei didn't feel the slightest bit happy.
She knew that at this moment, Lin Yu must be absolutely furious inside.
Xia Yiwei hurriedly hugged Lin Yu's arm and begged for mercy:
"Little Master, I was wrong, I was completely wrong."
"If you want to punish me, can we do it after we go back?"
"Please help me shake off that sticky plaster first!"
"I wouldn't dare lie to you. Lei Siren is actually a blind date arranged by my dad."
"As for my dad, you don't know him..."
"There's something seriously wrong with his brain!"
"I don't know what he sees in Lei Siren, but he insists on setting us up."
"I really had no other choice, so I called you over to save the day. Please help me!"
"Pretty please, please, please..."
Xia Yiwei repeatedly bowed to Lin Yu with her hands folded.
She was terrified that Lin Yu would get angry and leave her here all alone.
If the main character bailed halfway through the play.
With Lei Siren's thought process, he would probably think his chances just got even better!
No matter what it took, Xia Yiwei had to make Lin Yu stay and act with her until the very end.
Lin Yu didn't rush to answer.
Instead, he continued to look down at Xia Yiwei with a sidelong glance.
If he didn't intimidate her a little, who knew what kind of weird prank she would pull next time.
Today's dinner had indeed given Lin Yu a massive surprise!
However.
There was one thing Xia Yiwei was wrong about.
Lin Yu had long deeply felt that there was something wrong with her dad's brain.
When they met in the dream world, it had truly given him a massive shock.
The fact that Xia Yiwei had managed to grow up into a normal person was already a miracle of life.
Since he had already waded into these muddy waters, there was no point in avoiding it now.
He might as well sit down peacefully and finish this meal properly.
Eventually.
Lin Yu shook his head helplessly and said:
"I really don't know what to do with you. I can't just watch you get pestered by that kind of guy."
Hearing this.
Xia Yiwei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At least she knew that Lin Yu would stay by her side and act out this play to the end.
Xia Yiwei was completely inept at putting on a one-woman show; what she needed was someone to cooperate with her!
"Little Master, I knew you were the best to me. Out of everyone in the apartment, you love me the most!"
As she spoke.
Xia Yiwei directly hugged Lin Yu's arm, using all her skills to act spoiled and cute.
Not to mention.
This nurse sister sure had a sweet mouth!
Of course, this wasn't because Lin Yu had diabetes, but rather due to Xia Yiwei's natural talent.
Lin Yu asked Xia Yiwei:
"Weiwei, do you want to know what Young Master Lei went out to do?"

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it!

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune?

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
