Liu Chang glared at him, and Chen Hai was somewhat stunned.
“Sister Chang, the divinations I perform are usually quite accurate!”
“According to the Gua, although you have a disaster involving bloodshed, it shouldn’t be a big issue as long as you take care yourself…”
Not really understanding what was going on, he spoke again, trying to comfort her.
Unfortunately, Liu Chang, this beautiful senior, clearly didn’t appreciate his sentiment.
“Is it so strange for a girl to have a disaster involving bloodshed?
You’re the one with all the issues!” With a flushed face, Liu Chang lowered her head and glared at Chen Hai again.
Seeing her , Chen Hai chose not to speak!
Not just him, Ye Qingqing on the side also felt completely confused.
She scratched the back of her head, looking puzzled, and turned to Liu Chang, asking, “Chang, what kind of riddle are you playing?
Did Chen Hai’s divination turn out to be accurate or not?
Just tell us already!”
Hearing Ye Qingqing’s words, Liu Chang paused for a moment.
After glancing at Chen Hai, she leaned towards Ye Qingqing and whispered a few words in her ear.
Who knows what she really said, but after hearing her words, Ye Qingqing covered her mouth and burst out laughing.
“Chen Hai, if it weren’t for the fact that you’ve been sitting in this private room without going out, I might really suspect that you followed Chang to the restroom!”
“Otherwise, how did you know about Chang’s monthly disaster involving bloodshed the moment she arrived?”
“You must be just making things up, aren’t you?”
Putting on a serious facade, Ye Qingqing questioned Chen Hai.
However, she only got halfway through her words before she couldn’t help laughing out loud again.
“So, it’s that kind of blood-related disaster…”
Hearing Ye Qingqing’s explanation, Chen Hai also suddenly realized.
The casually done divination had resulted in a vague outcome, providing him with just a bit of information by chance.
Had he known earlier that Liu Chang’s disaster involving bloodshed was of this nature, he would have just made something up, avoiding this current awkward situation!
“Bang bang bang…” There were a few light knocks on the door.
Then, the door was pushed open, and a young man came in, carrying a hot pot.
“Here is your tripe hot pot, please enjoy!” After placing the hot pot on the table and lighting the fire, the young man politely withdrew.
“Both of you seniors, I haven’t even had lunch, purposely keeping my stomach empty just for tonight’s feast.”
“Let’s eat first, and after we’re full and satisfied, we can talk about divination, okay?”
Finding a way to change the subject, Chen Hai quickly shifted the topic.
After he served himself a bowl of rice, he also served one for both Liu Chang and Ye Qingqing.
To be honest, he had eaten a bit on the train.
During lunchtime, after settling the dormitory issues, he was busy organizing his luggage, and he really didn’t have lunch, so he was indeed quite hungry now.
When he first started his cultivation, he didn’t eat much and was as skinny as a bean sprout!
As his strength gradually improved, what used to fill him with one or two bowls of rice now took four or five bowls, and he could handle it with ease.
Back then, he was truly skinny, but now, although he didn’t show a lot of muscle, he at least looked more filled out and his physique appeared much more proportionate.
Even his height had increased from 1.65 meters in the past to about 1.7 meters now.
In this day and age, the average height for young people is about that, so Chen Hai’s height of 1.7 meters was quite standard.
When the main dish, the hotpot, was served at Old Xichuan Sichuan Cuisine Restaurant, the speed of serving the side dishes and stir-fries was incredibly fast.
Ye Qingqing had intended to inquire further about divination, but seeing Chen Hai starting to devour the food, she had to temporarily suppress her curiosity.
“Chen Hai, how long has it been since you last ate?”
“You said you’d treat me and Chang to a meal, but it looks like at least half of the dishes we ordered have ended up in your stomach.”
Liu Chang and Ye Qingqing, being two gentle young women, ate quite daintily.
While the two of them had hardly made a dent in their bowl of rice and had only picked at a few dishes with their chopsticks, Chen Hai was already on his fourth bowl.
His eating speed was like a whirlwind, leaving the two women in awe.
In just under ten minutes, the hotpot had been reduced to half a pot of broth, and the fish head with chopped chili pepper, which had been served just three minutes before, was now left with only bones on the plate.
Ye Qingqing pursed her lips in complaint as she looked at the chaos on the table.
“Both of you senior sisters, I’m a country boy.
Back at home, we’d sometimes go weeks without tasting meat!”
“When I was in high school, my meals were just steamed buns with pickled vegetables, and because of that, some of the better-off students in class would often mock me!”
“This is my first time trying Sichuan cuisine, and it really tastes amazing.
I got a little carried away and ate too fast.
Please don’t take it to heart!”
“For the hotpot side dishes, I’ll ask the waiter to bring another serving.
If you want more fish head, we can reorder that too.
After all, I did say I’d treat you to this meal…”
With a shy smile, Chen Hai bashfully explained.
His words were not just smooth talk; they were indeed the truth.
Before he made any money from Li Dajiang, his life was exactly as he described.
When the two women heard his words, they exchanged glances with a complex expression on their faces.
“Forget it, Chen Hai.
No need to order more.
Qingqing and I don’t eat much anyway!”
“Even though the hotpot and fish head are gone, the dishes remaining on the table are more than enough for Qingqing and me!”
Liu Chang sighed lightly, and immediately followed up to smooth things over for Chen Hai.
Having heard about Chen Hai’s past difficulties, the two women even felt a bit guilty about letting him treat them to the meal.
After all, the meal cost between seventy to ninety RMB, and it was significant.
Perhaps after treating them to this meal, Chen Hai might have to subsist on buns for the next half a month.
“Chang, Sister Qing, in the past, my family was indeed very poor!”
“However, I’m grateful to the government for improving the lives of us farmers.
My family’s situation has improved a lot recently.”
“Treating you to a meal is definitely not a problem; you don’t need to worry about saving money for me!”
Dropping a few words, Chen Hai got ready to stand up and head outside to call the waiter to add a few dishes for their private room.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of Ye Qingqing and Liu Chang, his gesture was misinterpreted as trying to put on airs.
“Chen Hai, if we need to order more, let Chang do it.” Googlᴇ search 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
“Didn’t you promise me earlier to perform a divination for me?”
“Your divination predicted a bloody disaster for Chang.
I’d like to see what your divination predicts for me.”
Giving Liu Chang a knowing look, Ye Qingqing grabbed the corner of Chen Hai’s shirt and said with a smile.
