"Then you must order more dishes today. I'm too stingy. I'm afraid that I may treat you to dinner next year." Melinda ordered a few dishes and passed the menu to Kent. She didn't mind being teased by him at all.
The reason why she came to the dinner was to thank Kent. She had caused much trouble to him, and he had never complained to help.
"Don't mention it,"
Kent said, but he didn't order any more. He passed the menu to the waiter, and the waiter took out something like bamboo sticks canister, asking Melinda to shake it.
"That's the rule of this restaurant. You can get one thing once you booked a room. What you can get today will depend on your luck," Kent explained to Melinda with a smile.
"Why did you suddenly act so calm?" Melinda pulled out a stick and gave it to the waiter. The waiter took it from her, opened his eyes wide in shock, and then smiled.
"You are so lucky, Miss. Here is a free ticket."
For a moment, both of them froze for a moment. Then they laughed at the same time. Melinda felt that her luck was really good, and the waiter also said that no one would get this stick even once for a month.
"It seems that it's really difficult for you to treat me a meal. Fortunately, my main purpose today is not for the meal," Kent said, shaking his head. His every act and action was similar to that of the noble son of an ancient family.
Melinda thought that this was the aura of the literature.
"What are we doing here if we are not for eating? To experience the richness of traditional culture?" Melinda joked. She could only be so relaxed when staying with Kent.
"Emily will come to apologize to you later." After drinking tea, Kent said it in a profound way. Melinda felt it was inconceivable that arrogant Emily would make an apology to her. What on earth did Kent do?
"Kent, how did you do that?"
"You don't need to know that. Just wait for her to apologize." As Kent said, Melinda didn't ask him anymore. She trusted him very much.
"You are an extraordinary man, Kent. Let me propose a toast with tea to you." Melinda even covered her cup with her sleeve like the ancient people would do, which amused Kent.
Melinda's gratitude was sincere and sincere. Kent clinked his cup of tea with hers and then they drank it up.
"The way you drank tea reminded me of the time when you were playing Flying Flowers(a game that people recite poems with flowers' names in turn) with your classmates at school." Kent put down the glass. Seeing how mature Melinda was now, he could not help but sigh.
At that time, Melinda was really naive and childish. She would offend people sometimes since she was upright, but she was popular most of the time, which made her two extremes.
Flying Flower was a small activity held in her major. When Melinda was pushed out by one of her classmates to be a competitor, she had been so anxious that she had made up a poem. When others asked her where the poem was from, she still made it up. However, in the end, someone said that he was going to search the information on Internet, and Melinda had forgotten the poem she had made up.
It was Melinda's embarrassing past. Now that Kent mentioned it, she felt embarrassed. She recalled it and asked, "Was you there at that time?"
"My roommates told me that as soon as they got back to the dormitory, they said that the new junior is very interesting," said Kent. At that time, he had a bit of curiosity about Melinda. He paid more attention to her and fell in love with her.
However, all feelings would change.
"It turns out that I become famous after only one fight," Melinda said with a smile. She was well protected by her family. Before going to college, she used to be a naughty girl. But when she met Jonas, she only set her mind on him. She was frustrated and more courageous.
Since Melinda met Jonas, she had learned how to be sentimental, thick skinned, and forbearing. She always believed that it was after she met Jonas that she knew this world.
What her roommates in college said most was that with her talent and beauty, it was not hard for her to find a good man. But why was she only interested in Jonas who was wearing a poker face all the time?
Melinda always answered shamelessly. With her charm, why couldn't she find a charming and outstanding man?
But only she knew how self-abasement and sensitive her seemingly dauntless heart was. She knew better than anyone else that she didn't deserve Jonas.
"All the posts in our university forum at that time had your name on them."
What Kent said was true. Melinda just laughed to hide her embarrassment. Everybody in the university knew that she was a high spirited and vigorous person, but she still made some people sigh for her in the end.
They talked about what had happened in the university. For most of the time, Melinda was feeling embarrassed. Until now, she finally realized how embarrassed she had been.
The dishes were served on the table one by one, but Emily did not appear. In the chatting and laughing, Kent's face had pulled a long face.
"Kent, is it because I've ordered too little that you're not happy? If I had known I'm so lucky today, I would have ordered a lot of dishes."
"Linda, I'm going to make a call."
