Chapter 69

69 Why Can’t It Be Me?

After Li Xiaoran saw that Luo Cheng wasn’t revealing anything about himself, she didn’t ask anymore.

After all, she was just curious, not here to cause trouble.

After another hour, they finally bought everything they needed.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran felt hungry.

Her stomach actually rumbled.

Li Xiaoran didn’t feel embarra.s.sed. Instead, she looked at Luo Cheng.

“Luo Cheng, I’m hungry. I want to eat!”

Luo Cheng naturally heard Li Xiaoran’s stomach growl and nodded.

“Sure! Let’s come out for a meal after we take our things back! There happens to be a restaurant near that house. I’ll bring you there to try it!”

“A restaurant? Is the food there tasty?” Li Xiaoran immediately perked up when she heard that there was food.

“Yes, it tastes good! In the entire town, perhaps only the chef of this restaurant can compare to you in terms of cooking!” Luo Cheng praised.

“So my culinary skills are so highly praised by you?” She was naturally glad to be praised, so Li Xiaoran asked happily.

“Do you not have a clear understanding of your culinary skills? I can say that your culinary skills are comparable to those of many famous chefs!” Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows and said firmly.

He was someone who had eaten gourmet food, so he had a clear understanding of Li Xiaoran’s culinary skills.

To be honest, Luo Cheng was actually very curious.

After all, he had investigated Li Xiaoran and still couldn’t figure out where she had obtained her good culinary skills.

In the end, after investigating for a long time, he only came to a conclusion: Li Xiaoran was very talented in terms of cooking and was a self-taught genius!

He didn’t know if others believed this reason, but he believed it!

“Thank you! I’ll work harder in the future and strive to become a famous chef!” Li Xiaoran said happily.

“There’s no need to become a famous chef! I don’t expect you to earn a lot of money for me! Just make more tasty food to reward me in the future!” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and said.

“Sure! I’ll definitely make you a lot of tasty food! After all, you’re my husband!” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile.

When he heard Li Xiaoran say that he was her husband, Luo Cheng smirked slightly.

It didn’t take long for the two of them to put their things away and go to the restaurant called Spring Love.

“The reason this restaurant is called Spring Love is actually because of its background!” Luo Cheng sat at an empty table in the lobby. As he waited for the waiter to come, he introduced to Li Xiaoran, “You know about vegetarian food, right? The vegetarian food here is very good. No matter what kind of ingredient it is, as long as it falls into the hands of this restaurant’s chef, he can turn it into very tasty food! Therefore, it’s called Spring Love!”

“Is this place filled with vegetarian food?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.

“Most of them are, but there are also meat dishes! After all, it’s just a restaurant called Spring Love, and it’s not a temple that can’t be tainted with meat!” Luo Cheng replied.

“Looks like you’re a regular customer. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so familiar with the specialties of our restaurant! Come, come, come. This is our restaurant’s menu. Please order!” A round-faced waiter walked over and greeted them warmly.

“Come and see what you want to eat!” Luo Cheng placed the menu in front of Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran was stunned for a moment and was thinking that she wouldn’t be able to read it, but the main menu was actually filled with some exquisite pictures of dishes.

Although it didn’t look as exquisite as the modern world’s food photos, it was already very good in this world.

Li Xiaoran smiled and ordered according to the menu.

“This, this, and this! That will do!”

When the waiter saw this, he quickly memorized the number of the dishes Li Xiaoran had ordered and quickly handed them over.

When Li Xiaoran was about to say something, a strong emotion suddenly overcame her, causing Li Xiaoran to look in a direction.

At this moment, a frail-looking scholar walked in.

“What are you looking at?” At this moment, Luo Cheng’s voice sounded in Li Xiaoran’s ear.

Li Xiaoran came back to her senses and shook her head with a smile. She poured herself a cup of tea.

Coincidentally, the scholar who had just entered sat at the table beside Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng.

What surprised Li Xiaoran even more was that when the waiter saw this scholar, he immediately brought out a few things.

He brought two pots of wine, a plate of peanuts, a vegetable dish, and then a bowl of rice.

After the scholar took out the money, he first picked up the pot of wine and filled his cup.

After drinking the wine, the scholar couldn’t withstand the strong flavor and coughed violently.

Li Xiaoran’s attention had been on this scholar. At this moment, she frowned when she saw how he was ruining his health.

Luo Cheng also noticed Li Xiaoran’s abnormality and felt unhappy.

Just as he was about to remind Li Xiaoran to be mindful, the scholar choked on another gla.s.s of strong alcohol.

This time, Li Xiaoran could no longer sit still. She stood up and walked over to s.n.a.t.c.h the scholar’s wine gla.s.s.

“If you can’t drink, why force yourself to drink? Your body is your own. Why do you have to ruin your health like this?! What is making you do this to yourself? If you hurt yourself like this, it will only make those who look down on you look down on you even more. It will make those who care about you even sadder!” Li Xiaoran scolded the scholar.

Not to mention that scholar, even Luo Cheng didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to suddenly do this.

Just as everyone thought that the frail-looking scholar would be furious and criticize the young lady for being nosy, the frail-looking scholar suddenly burst into tears when he saw the angry Li Xiaoran.

“Sister, you came back to see me! I know I’m a good-for-nothing. That’s why I disappointed you! That’s why you didn’t wait for me to save you and went to see Hades first!”

As soon as he said this, the surrounding people were in an uproar. Li Xiaoran also looked at the scholar in front of her with red eyes.

“Sister, why is this the case? I’ve already worked so hard, but I’m still so unlucky. I clearly know everything, and I can do better than others, but I just don’t have that little bit of luck and opportunity. Every time, I thought I was about to succeed, but in the end, I still failed! Sister, there are so many lucky people, so why can’t I be one of them?” The scholar covered his face and cried!
