Chapter 90: You're Still As Dishonest As In The Past
Editor: Hitesh_
Lu Yanchen did not even bother raising his head as he remarked nonchalantly, "If you want to leave, sure! Foot the bill first!"
Shi Guang looked over in astonishment. "Why am I the one footing the bill?"
Lu Yanchen continued eating. Even if he were peeling crabs, his gestures looked classier than anyone else. He only replied after he had chewed on it slowly and swallowed.
"Who was the one who set the lesson plan?"
"Me."
"Who was the one who had me coming to the beach?"
"Me."
"Who was the one who said to sit by the beach?"
"Me."
"Then who should be the one paying the expenses for sitting by the beach?"
"M…" This time around, Shi Guang's reaction time was much faster and did not fall for his trick. She had merely sounded out the first half of the word before stopping herself.
With a distressed look, she glared at him. "I'm your coach, so it's a must for me to prepare the lesson plan. It's also a must for us to attend a lesson at the beach, since it's a necessity to observe the seas. Yes, I was the one who said that we should sit by the beach…but I didn't say that I'm treating you to a meal. In any case, this isn't a meal hour anyway."
There was no way she was treating him. God knows how much this seafood feast would cost—she didn't have the money.
Lu Yanchen wiped his lips with a tissue and as his slender fingers tapped on the table surface casually. "So, you're trying to say that…you're not going to eat?"
"I'm not. I'm not hungry. Neither do I need to eat, nor d…" Before she was even done with her words, her stomach grumbled. Shi Guang closed her eyes and turned her head away in embarrassment. She was truly not hungry! Why did her stomach have to growl?
She could only blame her love for prawns and crabs. Looking at herself standing there without moving away, those lips of hers that had caught a whiff of that fragrance started to twitch while her stomach was fighting against her.
Lu Yanchen raised his head and looked at her, his lower jaws tightening up. His gaze was deep as he spoke with a soft tone, seemingly mocking, "You're still as dishonest as in the past."
Shi Guang was vexed. "All I'm doing is rejecting a meal. Do you have to talk about my character? Besides, since when have I been dishonest?"
Lu Yanchen's lips bit down as his deep, mysterious gaze seemed bent on seeing through her. Shi Guang felt uneasy from head to toe on being stared at by him. She then thought of their current relationship.
'The customer is always king…If he wants to make fun of me, so be it!'
She then sat down and uttered out, "I've got no money."
Since she was not going to foot the bill no matter what, she didn't believe that Lu Yanchen could keep her here despite her having no money.
Lu Yanchen replied indifferently, "What a coincidence! I forgot to bring my wallet as well. Seems like you can only pay the bill by doing the dishes today then."
FAINT!
Was he only saying that because he could read her mind?
She was thrown into a complete disarray, really wanting to head to a corner to squat down and draw circles while cursing out at someone. She made a note to forget to bring her wallet the next time she went out to eat with him!
She then forced out a smile at Lu Yanchen. "Eat on then. Since I'm going to do the dishes, all of these are mine then!"
As she said that, she took a pincer into her plate and scooped out a big chunk of crabmeat with her spoon experiencedly before putting it into her mouth. If she were going to have to foot the bill no matter what, she would be the one at a loss if she didn't eat her fill.
"No one's snatching anything from you."
"That's right! No one's snatching to pay the bill from me!" The last part of her sentence was practically snarled out of her mouth—spending her money caused her as much pain as slicing her meat.
She definitely had to get her money's worth here!
Before she was even done with the crabmeat in her mouth, she stuffed a prawn ball in as well.
Looking at how Lu Yanchen was taking out the crabmeat with a pair of chopsticks before eating it bit by bit, she remarked in disapproval, "The best way of eating crab is using a spoon to eat chunks after chunks! That's the most satisfying way!"
Lu Yanchen looked at her. Without saying anything, he took up a spoon.
That initially awkward tension around them had suddenly turned supernaturally gentle…
