Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit
There are many shameless people in this world, but not one of them is as shameless as you. She probably doesn’t even know your name…
Lin Jiage shot a sideward glance at Lu Benlai, but he couldn’t even be bothered to waste his breath anymore.
On the other hand, Lu Benlai paid no heed to Lin Jiage’s disdainful look. He propped his chin on his hand and gazed admiringly at Leng Nuan as he remarked in awe, “My fiancée really is pretty. It’s as if her very presence brings life to this restaurant!”
Lin Jiage was staring at Shi Yao, who hadn’t stopped stuffing crayfish down her mouth the entire time. When he heard Lu Benlai’s words, his brows furrowed deeply.
What do you mean by your fiancée brings life to this restaurant? Soft Bun is clearly the one bringing life to this restaurant!
However, Lin Jiage chose not to quibble with Lu Benlai over this matter. Instead, he discreetly turned his gaze toward the other people sitting at the opposite side of Shi Yao’s table.
Three women and two men. Two of them seemed to be a couple—the man would feed a mouthful of crayfish to the woman from time to time, and the woman would wipe the man’s mouth with the same frequency as well. The sight was really as jarring as it could get.
As for the other three… Well, there should be nothing wrong with the other two women, and as for the man… Lin Jiage observed his actions for a moment, and for the time being, it seemed like there was still nothing wrong with him.
The crayfish that Lu Benlai ordered was swiftly served.
Lu Benlai first passed a pair of gloves to Lin Jiage before putting on a pair himself. He then started digging in.
It was only after a heap of crayfish shells had piled up in front of Lu Benlai that he realized that Lin Jiage’s plate was still perfectly clean.
Perplexed, he raised his head and asked, “Boss, aren’t you going to eat too?”
As he said those words, his eyes also darted toward the table by the windows, where Lin Jiage’s gaze was fixated at.
Lu Benlai then saw the male student sitting opposite to Shi Yao placing a plate of de-shelled crayfish meat right in front of her.
They couldn’t hear what the male student said from where they were sitting, but Shi Yao raised her head and shot him a radiant smile. After which, she began digging into the crayfish meat.
Without thinking much about it, Lu Benlai quickly remarked to Lin Jiage, “Boss, that guy is actually de-shelling the crayfish for Little Junior…”
As he said each word in the sentence, Lu Benlai could visibly feel the air around him growing thinner.
Alarmed, he hurriedly stopped himself in the nick of time and swiftly added on another sentence to salvage the situation, “… but taking a second look at that guy, he doesn’t seem like the sort of person that a girl would like. He’s probably just helping out because they’re friends…”
As Lu Benlai said those words, he discreetly shot a glance at Lin Jiage.
The latter’s complexion still didn’t look that good, but at the very least, he didn’t look as terrifying as he did a moment ago.
Lu Benlai swiftly processed this information before picking up a crayfish and quickly de-shelling it. He then placed the crayfish meat onto Lin Jiage’s plate and said, “Boss, have some crayfish…”
As he spoke, Lu Benlai’s hands continued to dig out several more pieces of crayfish meat and placed them onto Lin Jiage’s plate. He noticed that Lin Jiage was still emanating a rather cold aura, so he continued trying to appease him, “… Boss, I believe that what Little Junior wants is the crayfish, not the person de-shelling them…”
“Just think about how good-looking Little Junior is. Only someone dashing—and I mean really, really dashing—would be able to catch her attention. And other than you, Boss, I don’t think anyone else would—”
Before Lu Benlai could finish saying ‘stand a chance’, he caught sight of something by the side of the window that hushed him up in an instant.
The male student who had de-shelled the crayfishes for Shi Yao had de-shelled another huge plate of crayfish meat, but this time around, he passed it over to Leng Nuan…
Lu Benlai widened his eyes and stared at the situation for three seconds before turning an indignant gaze to Lin Jiage, exclaiming, “Too much! That guy is really too much!”
