Chapter 1018 Do Not Want To Return
The restaurant was small but clean and well-maintained.
Lu Tiance was taller than the average man and exuded a domineering aura. He attracted the attention of everyone the moment he entered the restaurant.
Fortunately, there was a private room on the second floor. It was tiny, but it could at least separate him from the others, allowing him to have his own space.
Rong Rong's almond-shaped eyes were sparkling with delight. She was pleased to be able to have supper with him.
Lu Tiance pulled the chair further backward. He had long legs, so the chair needed to be distanced from the table more for him to be more comfortable.
Rong Rong grinned as she stared at him. “Tiance, why are you so tall?”
Her question was supposed to be a joke, but Lu Tiance earnestly answered, “My parents are tall, so I've been taller than my peers since I was young.”
Rong Rong giggled. “Tiance, why're you so serious?”
Lu Tiance did not seem to understand what Rong Rong meant. You asked me a serious question, so I answered honestly. If I'm not being serious or honest, how should I reply?
“All right. Let's stop talking about this.” Rong Rong handed him the menu. “Tiance, order whatever you like. I'm not short of money.”
Her words, “I'm not short of money,” was primarily said in response to the doubts in her classmates' group chat.
All her classmates were surprised that Rong Rong would consider the price when it came to spending. It made her worry that Lu Tiance would also suspect that she had financial problems.
Lu Tiance nodded to show that he believed her. “I know you have money. I won't hesitate.”
The waiter at the side was confused to hear their conversation.
She's treating him and also assuring him that she isn't short of money.
The waiter had never seen such a weird combination and found it intriguing.
Although the restaurant was famous for its grilled meat, they also had other tasty dishes for supper.
Rong Rong ordered a bunch of food in one go. She was in a good mood today. Hence, she wanted to have a big meal.
She asked, “Tiance, which alcoholic drink would you like?”
From Rong Rong's understanding, a man like Lu Tiance would definitely drink alcoholic drinks.
Lu Tiance did not disappoint Rong Rong. He immediately answered her, “Any hard liquor will do.”
Rong Rong was stunned momentarily before she broke into a grin.
D*mn! How manly!
She turned to look at the waiter. “What's the strongest alcoholic drink you have here? Bring us a bottle.”
“It's Erguotou,” the waiter replied.
Rong Rong felt that Erguotou was such a cheap and ordinary drink. She was about to ask the waiter if there was anything more expensive when Lu Tiance answered, “We'll have that. Get us a bottle of it.”
“Is that all right?” Rong Rong asked. “Why don't I go to a nearby supermarket and see if they have—”
“This will do,” Lu Tiance replied.
“Okay. I can't join you in drinking such strong liquor, but I can have a bit of red wine.”
“All right.” Lu Tiance nodded in acknowledgment.
The liquor soon came, but it was only a tiny bottle.
Lu Tiance waved his hand and said, “I want a bigger bottle.”
The waiter was shocked. Does he want to drink a big bottle of this himself?
He was about to take the small bottle of Erguotou away, but Lu Tiance gestured for him to leave the small bottle on the table. Since he had already brought it here, there was no need to take it away.
Rong Rong widened her eyes in shock. “Tiance, are you going to drink a big bottle and a small bottle of Erguotou?”
Lu Tiance answered casually, “You're the one who said you have money.”
Rong Rong chuckled. I didn't expect him to have a sense of humor.
“That's right! I'm not short of money! Tiance, go ahead and order whatever you want!”
The grilled meat needed some time to prepare, so Rong Rong asked the waiter to serve the appetizers first.
Lu Tiance ate some of the appetizers while drinking the Erguotou. Soon, the small bottle was finished.
His expression remained unchanged as he leaned against the chair and waited patiently for the grilled meat.
“You're welcome. I hope you live a peaceful life.”
Lu Tiance's words were like grilled meat—simple and brought great joy to Rong Rong.
To a person who could have a relapse at any moment, living a peaceful life was the most important.
The two of them drank as they chatted. Most of the time, it was Rong Rong talking while Lu Tiance listened to her.
The liquor in the bottle quickly diminished, but Lu Tiance's expression remained the same.
Even Rong Rong was beginning to wonder whether he was drinking hard liquor or plain water.
She had already drunk half a bottle of red wine and was a little tipsy. Her cheeks were flushed as she stared at him dreamily.
“Tiance, how many children do you have?” Rong Rong asked earnestly.
Lu Tiance was taken aback. He felt awkward as he replied, “I don't have any children.”
“Oh. Is your wife not in a hurry to have any?”
Lu Tiance's expression became even more embarrassed. “I... I'm not married yet.”
Rong Rong was stunned. “Sorry. I spoke unnecessarily. Please forgive me...”
“It's fine.” Lu Tiance picked up the bottle and downed the last mouthful of liquor.
“Let's go. It's getting late. I'll send you back to campus. The driver is waiting outside,” said Lu Tiance.
“Okay.”
Lu Tiance remained steady on his feet, whereas Rong Rong was stumbling around and had difficulty walking straight.
After a moment of hesitation, he reached out to help her.
Rong Rong realized then that he was quite tall. She grabbed Lu Tiance's arm and was able to feel his firm muscles.
The rain outside had long since stopped, but the traffic in the city remained congested.
However, Rong Rong did not want to return. The night view tonight looks beautiful. I want to enjoy it a little longer.
