Chapter 258 - 107 "Meeting is Destiny" (6400)_2
"Hmm, don’t worry, no need to be polite." Chen Yan waved his hand grandly, "Even if you can’t finish, it’s okay, just go all out! The key is to enjoy it!
"No, that’s not what I meant." The little girl shook her head.
"Huh?"
"I mean, this is still not enough to eat."
Chen Yan: ???
Then, Chen Yan watched wide-eyed as this crazy little girl finished an entire roast goose in two minutes.
In another two minutes, she polished off a tiger grouper.
The Australian lobster, because it was well-prepared, took her less than a minute to stuff all the shrimp meat into her mouth.
As for the stir-fried crab and Buddha jumps over the wall, she took a total of four minutes.
In just nine minutes, not even ten, the little girl smacked her lips in dissatisfaction, looking at the now-empty dishes on the table.
From start to finish, Chen Yan didn’t even lift his chopsticks!
The little girl looked at Chen Yan curiously and whispered, "I’ve never been to the outside world, so I don’t know your world’s customs...
Hmm, in your world, when you invite people to eat, you don’t let the guests get full?"
......
Chen Yan was stunned for two seconds, then shook his head immediately, "How is that possible! Don’t worry, there’s more food to come, the kitchen will prepare it dish by dish."
"Hmm, no need for the fish, I don’t like bony things. And no more Buddha jumps over the wall, soups don’t keep me full. The roast goose was good, let’s have two more of those, and the shrimp was really fresh..."
The little girl smiled sweetly at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan looked at the little girl — so Half-Step Venerables have huge appetites, huh?
Seems about right...
Gu Qingyi also eats a lot, snacking all day at home.
He picked up the phone and ordered some more dishes as the little girl requested, asking the kitchen to prepare and send them quickly.
Worried that she might still be hungry, Chen Yan thought for a moment and added a roasted suckling pig!
Looking at this short, small girl and her seemingly bottomless appetite.
I really want to see if she can perform a "three bites one pig" in front of me!
·
The fact is, three bites for a pig is impossible.
Even a Half-Step Venerable couldn’t achieve that.
The little girl took a full six bites to finish a roasted suckling pig.
When the second batch of dishes came, the little girl took less than fifteen minutes to clear the plates again.
Chen Yan at this moment found himself quite calm.
Let her eat!
Thinking about the balance in his card—could she eat him bankrupt?
He looked at the little girl steadily, "Do you want me to have the hotel send another batch over? Looks like you’re still not full?"
"Hmm, indeed not full." The little girl took a sip of iced cola and sighed, "As expected, cola should be drunk cold."
"Then how about we order another batch as before? Hmm, or two batches?" Chen Yan picked up the phone.
"...Forget it." The little girl gave a sly smile, looking at Chen Yan and nodding, "You seem really nice, I’ve decided not to mess with you."
"Hmm?"
"I actually can’t get full." The little girl patted her stomach, giggling, "If I really let myself go, I could absolutely eat you bankrupt. With just tonight’s food, even if you brought a hundred servings more, I still wouldn’t be full.
But actually, I don’t have a ’full’ concept.
What I eat just stays in my stomach and can be digested slowly over time.
I don’t need to eat every day, as long as I eat a lot at once, like today’s meal, it’s enough to last me several days, so thank you very much."
Chen Yan froze for a moment—are you sure you’re not a camel, Skylark?
Then he shook his head, "I see, to think Daoist friend has such Divine Techniques, I really am ignorant."
As he spoke, he still lifted the phone in his hand, "But, since it can be stored, why not let me store a bit more for you?"
"No need, really, it’s our first meeting, it wouldn’t be right to eat too much from you." The little girl smiled shyly, "But I wouldn’t mind some dessert. Hmm, I like mango sago and ice cream."
"Five servings of each?"
"Sure."
After calling the restaurant for desserts, Chen Yan put down the phone and saw the little girl sitting on the sofa, smiling at him, "Alright, I’ve eaten your food, now why don’t you tell me what you want me to do for you?"
"Hmm?" Chen Yan raised an eyebrow.
The little girl waved her hand, "I’m just stuck here and can’t go to the outside world, but I’m not a fool. When I’m bored, I read books—though the text here is reversed.
But after a while, I got used to it.
Besides, I also watch other things. Movies, TV shows, I’ve seen them all, although I didn’t understand the Cantonese at first, I learned it over time.
In short, I’m not stupid. We met by chance, I hurt you, yet you invited me to such an expensive meal.
No reason, no one is kind for no reason in this world.
Hmm, there’s a saying, "No matter what hospitality you offer... it’s... it’s... non... non... non something, non fry egg?"
Chen Yan sighed, "No mean intentions."
"Yes, yes, that’s it, no mean intentions." The little girl giggled, "So, what do you need my help with?"
"To be honest, there’s nothing specific." Chen Yan’s tone was sincere, "I’m not the type to expect immediate repayment for my kindness."
