Luofeng suddenly wondered, Was it really okay to let Bai Ningbing drive? Her driving skills were definitely problematic.
Soon, the Rolls-Royce shuttled through the night, delivering Luofeng and Bai Ningbing to the Cloud Hotel.
Luofeng took Bai Ningbing's hand as they got out of the car and walked toward the Cloud Hotel.
The welcoming hostess at Cloud greeted them warmly, "Good evening, welcome to Cloud. May I ask if you have a reservation, sir and miss?"
"Yes, Luo," Luofeng said.
"So it's Mr. Luo. Please come this way," the hostess said enthusiastically, leading them to their seats.
Although Cloud was a Michelin two-star restaurant, its atmosphere wasn't pretentious. Instead, it cultivated a special sense of warmth. Both the service attitude and the restaurant layout leaned towards coziness.
The hostess led Luofeng and Bai Ningbing to a window seat, and they sat down.
The waiter quickly brought over the menu. Cloud didn't use tablet ordering; it still had traditional large menus.
Luofeng and Bai Ningbing leaned in together to browse it.
The pricing of the dishes at Cloud was quite affordable among Michelin restaurants. Luofeng took a glance. Apart from a few signature dishes, most were reasonably priced. For a group of more than four people, it would cost an average of three hundred yuan per person. A Michelin two-star restaurant? Three hundred yuan per person? To be fair, the pricing was very conscientious. After all, isn't the average price for Peking duck in Capital City already over 300 yuan?
After browsing the menu for a while, Bai Ningbing spoke, "I want a Milk Custard Lava Bun."
This item was a signature dish at Cloud. As for the price, it might sound unbelievable, but three buns cost 36 yuan, meaning only 12 yuan each.
"And Sauce Steamed Phoenix Claw!" Bai Ningbing ordered another snack-like item, also priced at 36 yuan, exuding a strong sense of affordability.
"You pick the rest," Bai Ningbing handed the menu to Luofeng.
Luofeng nodded slightly. Knowing Bai Ningbing liked fish, he would definitely choose one for her.
"Steamed Bamboo Fish."
The waiter noted it down. This dish was one of Cloud's specialties, costing 960 yuan per serving.
"Truffle Shrimp Ball," Luofeng added another dish, which was actually only 75 yuan.
"Thick Chicken Soup with Fish Maw," Luofeng ordered a soup priced at 229 yuan. It was slightly on the expensive side, but Dried Fish Maw & Chicken is generally pricey.
"Seaweed Salad."
This was a type of vegetable with a very pleasant texture. Luofeng also recommended trying it if one hadn't before, as the price was genuinely not expensive.
"Sir, the dishes you've ordered are already enough for two people to enjoy," the waiter warmly reminded him.
"Alright, thank you," Luofeng closed the menu.
Cloud's reminder system like this easily won guests' approval. It not only avoided waste but also helped guests save face. For instance, if a guest wanted to order more, or something expensive, the staff might politely say, "I'm sorry, that item isn't available," or "We're actually out of that one." This prevented over-ordering without embarrassing the guest. How could such a thoughtful restaurant not be likable?
「A short while later」
"Baby, how do you find Jingzhou?" Luofeng asked casually.
"It's quite nice," Bai Ningbing nodded.
"Have you ever considered staying in Jingzhou after you graduate? Or going back to Shanghai?" Luofeng inquired.
"I haven't really thought about that," Bai Ningbing said, slightly stunned.
"What about you, Luofeng? Do you have any plans after graduation?" Bai Ningbing asked.
Luofeng grinned mischievously. "Of course, I'll be wherever my baby is."
Hearing Luofeng's cheesy sweet talk, Bai Ningbing's cheeks turned a faint shade of red, but her heart was filled with delight. She liked it when Luofeng said these heartwarming things. Even if they might not be realized in the future, they were comforting to hear now.
"We live in a world of advanced technology, where centuries of accumulated knowledge and theory have led to an explosion of innovation in the modern era," Luofeng said offhandedly. "In this world, Jingzhou is very small; the whole of Daxia, or even the entire world, feels small. We can be in Shu City in the morning, Shanghai in the afternoon, and Jingzhou by evening. So, where we physically are isn't as important anymore because technology has bridged the distances," Luofeng continued. "So, Baby, wherever you choose to be, it's okay. I'll support you."
Seeing this, Bai Ningbing felt very warm inside. "Mhm, if I have any thoughts on it, I'll tell you right away."
"Baby, do you know what that place over there is?" Luofeng pointed towards the distance.
"The South Lake Peninsula. I know," Bai Ningbing said.
"Baby, what do you think if I buy you a house over there?" Luofeng said after a moment's thought.
After all, here in Jingzhou, Bai Ningbing still didn't have a house to live in. And Luofeng also knew that the apartments in that community were very expensive, costing around 110,000 yuan per square meter. Keep in mind, Jingzhou isn't like Shanghai or Capital City. That price was extremely expensive for the area.
