Chapter 603: Chapter 382: So You Weren’t Wearing It!
Class Group 8.
After Guo Kunnan showed off his lunch photo, other classmates shared their lunches.
Lu Qiqi shared a photo of her lunch.
The background of the photo was a restaurant, looking crowded and offering a variety of enticing dishes.
"Buffet, 88 per person!"
Dan Kaiquan exclaimed, "That’s expensive, I had a barbecue buffet last time for only 39 per person."
Having won her classmates’ admiration, Lu Qiqi was over the moon:
"This is one of the best buffets in the city, with lots of seafood."
Then she posted two photos of crabs, satisfying a bit of her vanity, as it was a treat from her boyfriend after they had made up.
Lu Qiqi didn’t just show off seafood, but also delicate cakes and drinks.
Meanwhile, Shen Qing’e was having lunch.
After Jiang Ning left, leaving three tomatoes behind, her uncle confirmed the quality of the tomatoes and personally cooked them into a tomato hotpot base.
Her aunt cooked a few other dishes.
When the tomato hotpot base was brought to the table, the delicious aroma was mouthwatering.
Her uncle placed the pot on the induction cooker, beaming with pride as he praised, "Ning did well bringing these tomatoes; no need for ketchup for the pot."
Shen Qing’e helped to serve the side dishes, got the bowls and chopsticks, and then sat down to eat.
She didn’t stop eating for ten minutes.
Realizing it wasn’t great manners, she forced herself to pause.
Uncle Yao gave a thumbs-up: "Brother Jiang, your cooking skills are impressive; this tomato pot would be a hit in Yuzhou!"
As he spoke, he scooped another piece of beef into his mouth without caring about the heat, thoroughly enjoying the hotpot meal.
"If you offered this pot in a restaurant, not to boast, but you’d be too busy to manage."
Jiang Qitian took a sip of wine, "The taste of the tomato pot is not only about my skills but also the tomatoes!"
He knew more than anyone else.
Uncle Yao casually said, "Just get your nephew to bring more tomatoes."
Jiang Qitian nonchalantly replied, "He’s probably not keen on that."
He guessed his nephew must have made some connections to get these watermelons and tomatoes, but feared the yield wasn’t high, hence why only a little was brought each time.
He was not very interested in serving tomato pots in restaurants; at his age, he wasn’t about to start taking things from the younger generation.
Yao Yiyao picked a piece of tender tofu; the steam reddened her face, and the delicious taste made her extremely comfortable.
Listening to the adults’ conversation, she chimed in, "If the restaurant added tomato pots, it could make a lot of money. What’s there not to like?"
She really wished Uncle Jiang’s restaurant would add the tomato pot so she could eat it every day instead of needing to visit his home.
Actually, Yao Yiyao hadn’t wanted to come today, but remembering the last time’s watermelon, she came with hope and ended up pleasantly surprised.
Jiang Junlong heard her and replied, "My cousin isn’t short of money!"
Now that his cousin’s parents were wealthy, he stayed at his cousin’s place with top-notch computers, and even the desk was height-adjustable.
Yao Yiyao logically said, "Why not make money if he has money?"
Jiang Junlong, finding he wasn’t on the same wavelength, didn’t say much as she was a guest after all.
Meanwhile, Shen Qing’e had posted a photo of the Little Green Dragon.
Its majestic looks immediately caught the attention of her classmates.
Jiang Yanan: "Is that a lobster?"
Shen Qing’e: "Yeah, Little Green Dragon."
Bai Yuxia replied: "How does it taste? I’ve had Po dragon but never tried Little Green Dragon."
As soon as Bai Yuxia chimed in, many boys in the class became restless. Her beauty was unmatched in Class 8, and many boys fancied her.
Behind the screen, Dan Kaiquan’s quiet heart stirred again. Each time he thought he had moved on, Bai Yuxia’s appearance always stirred his emotions.
He really wanted to explain the differences between the two types of lobsters to Bai Yuxia, but he had long lost the right to do so.
Dan Kaiquan suddenly had a brainwave and chose to message his good buddy, "Brother Nan, are you there?"
"What’s up?"
Dan Kaiquan thought for a moment and typed:
"Bro, can you post in the class group (’What’s the difference between Little Green Dragon and Po Dragon? Can any experts clarify?’), and I’ll answer later."
This way, it seemed as though Guo Kunnan had asked the question, and he was answering Guo Kunnan’s question, not Bai Yuxia’s.
This would avoid appearing to be courting Bai Yuxia and still provide her with the answer.
This is akin to "entering the night with the breeze, silently moistening things."
Dan Kaiquan quickly Googled the differences between Po Dragon and Little Green Dragon and started gathering information.
Meanwhile, Guo Kunnan immediately understood his brother’s intention.
He copied everything and suavely clicked send.
After sending, Guo Kunnan realized he hadn’t edited it, effectively freezing on the spot.
"Damn!"
Guo Kunnan messaged frantically: "Brother Quan, I messed up!"
Dan Kaiquan, who had quickly found enough information, was still feeling pleased with his cleverness.
"Brother Quan, check the group! Check the group!"
Dan Kaiquan switched back to the group chat and saw the message he’d asked Guo Kunnan to send was left intact in the group.
"Crap!"
After Guo Kunnan sent the message, the class group was bombarded with question marks.
Dong Qingfeng: "?" 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
Jiang Yanan: "?"
Yu Wen: "Guo Kunnan, who asked you to send that?"
Lu Qiqi: "I’m dying of laughter."
Dan Kaiquan’s scalp tingled with embarrassment. He went to Guo Kunnan, "Damn, you screwed me over!"
Guo Kunnan was deeply regretful; he had let his brother down: "I was too quick!"
The class group buzzed with speculation, Cui Yu: "Let me guess who gave that to Guo Kunnan?"
Dong Qingfeng analyzed clearly: "In our class, whoever often calls ’Brother Nan’ is the mastermind. I’m curious why he wanted Guo Kunnan to send that message."
Dan Kaiquan wished he could shut down the group chat, watching as the truth nearly came out, he couldn’t bear to look anymore and even thought about leaving the group.
