The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 119: Chapter 118 Her Wink

Oh, no getting up until drunk?

Lu Mian sat astride the chair in a carefree manner, glancing over at them while browsing the menu, her delicate brows and eyes holding a faint smile.

“Sure? I can’t hold my liquor very well,” she laughed.

Fat Hao and Shouhao waved their hands grandly.

“No problem! It’s all about having fun!”

“Yeah, we don’t come to MM Ji Restaurant to eat often! Plus, it’s the number one private room. We should do whatever makes us happy, right!”

“Besides, even if you do get drunk, we’ve got your back!” Fat Hao thumped his chest. “We’ll make sure you get home safe and sound!”

With the brothers’ enthusiastic invitation, Lu Mian didn’t want to dampen their spirits. Her beautiful fingers snapped against the menu, “Alright.”

She then added, “Though I’m not great with alcohol, I can assure you, my behavior when drunk is guaranteed, don’t worry.”

“We trust you completely!”

Fat Hao and Shouhao nodded rapidly like pecking chickens, their little hearts skipping with joy.

Everyone says Brother Mian is cold and unapproachable, and many in the school are afraid to come near her. But the two brothers think she’s nice; she just looks aloof.

After more contact, they found she’s actually quite easy to talk to.

And she even drinks with them. How down-to-earth is that?

A case of beer was ordered for the number one private room.

The menu, once passed to the kitchen, was intercepted by a young man in his mid-twenties.

Pale and lean hands stopped their brisk chopping motion, and he placed the kitchen knife in the holder before giving the menu a quick look-over.

He had a subtle, elegant appearance, thin, long eyes slightly narrowed—not exactly a knockout at first glance. But his poised and clean-cut, stern aura was captivating. Upon closer inspection, one could easily become entranced.

Soon, a hint of confusion touched his normally placid expression.

“Manager, what’s with this order?” the red-cheeked server asked.

The man who rarely smiled slightly raised his hand, “I’ll take care of this one. You go tend to the other tasks.”

“Alright.”

Yuren took the menu and walked out from the kitchen, removing his apron as he did so, revealing a tall and lean figure dressed in sharp suit. Although slender, he carried an air of seriousness and solemnity.

He quickly arrived at the door of the number one private room.

Before knocking, he could hear words like “chess club,” “Lu Xinnuan,” and “tournament” coming from inside.

He slowly reached out, “Knock, knock, knock.”

Fat Hao and Shouhao both poked their heads out.

Yuren paused, then put on a professional smile, “Dear customer, good day. I am the… owner of MM Ji Restaurant, Yuren. I’m here to confirm your order once more.”

Upon hearing it was the owner of MM Ji Restaurant, the two high school boys immediately became more reserved.

“Owner, hello, please come in.”

The two of them politely made way. After all, being in the number one private room and greeted personally by the owner was a treatment they’d never experienced before.

“Brother Mian, the owner…” Fat Hao quietly hinted.

Lu Mian, busy with her phone, tapped away at lightning speed, ending her game with a few swift strokes before slowly lifting her head.

“Oh, what’s up?”

“Owner Yu is here to check the order.”

Yuren nodded slightly, pursed his lips, and then clearly read through the menu, item by item.

However, when he reached “beer… 12 bottles,” his deep voice deliberately emphasized the words, slowing down the pace.

Lu Mian put away her phone and, when the brothers weren’t looking, she gave him a mischievous wink and blinked secretly, “That’s correct, just serve the dishes.”

“Ahem.”

Yuren caught the wink and, a bit dryly, said “Excuse me,” before leaving the private room.

After stepping out, he even touched his chest.

Sigh…
