Chapter 9: Meeting Cheng Yu Again at the Hotpot Restaurant

ned by this sudden thing, was startled and sat up from the ground. He instinctively reached out to grab it."What are you"The golden fluff was shaking its body, dodging Ruan Soft's hand that was reachi..."It's okay, you can just keep looking at those jewelry pieces," Ruan Rou stopped eating and replied.

"Good job, madam!" The sales assistant was overjoyed! She had just thought the customer would leave and go to another store. Just as she got up to continue looking for merchandise, she suddenly remembered something and turned to ask, "Madam, do you need any of our bags"

Ruǎn shook her head, but after a moment of thought, she nodded and said, "Just take one or two." Although she had opened her personal space where things could be stored, she couldn't just conjure them out of thin air, she still needed a bag as a cover.

Then I thought, buying a bag usually requires pre-ordering, so I asked, "Do you need to pre-order"

"You are a valued guest, and we just received two new bags. Allow me to help you with them." The salesgirl spoke quickly, afraid Ruan Rou might change her mind and go elsewhere.

Ruan softened smiled and nodded, secretly sighing in his heart, having money is really good!

After a while, Ruan Ruan saw that it was almost time, so she requested to pay first. The sound of swiping the card cut through the air, followed by the system's announcement in her mind.

Congratulations to the host, for completing the limited-time one-day task of consuming five million and rewarding Tianjing Mansion, the Golden King's three floors, and 500 points. Because the task completion initiative is not high, there are no additional rewards this time.

Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden task, improving the lives of the orphanage children, and rewarding 10 points.

At first, when Ruan softly heard the system announce that she wasn't actively completing her tasks, she was a little indignant and wanted to argue with Yuanbao. Unexpectedly, the announcement immediately followed up saying that she had completed a hidden mission. Well, this time she would just forgive him.

Then he left behind the address of Tiangjing Mansion, asking them to pack everything up and send it directly there. Then he decided to leave first.

Originally, I wanted to go straight back to the main floor, but these days in the hospital, I've been eating bland congee and soup. I really craved something spicy to change my taste buds. I didn't want to go far, so I was thinking of going down to the B3 floor, where there is a famous hot pot restaurant. I've been craving it for ages.

On her way past, she happened to pass by a milk tea shop. Ruan Soft thought about it and bought several cups directly, with both hot and iced ones, and also chose a few delicate small cakes. She had the clerk deliver them to the Hermès store, explaining that these were for them to eat. She thanked them for their hard work today, even though it might cause them to have to work overtime.

The shopping guides were delighted and immediately shared it on their social media. Although they could buy them themselves, the feeling of being remembered and cared for by customers was really good. This behavior had already been noticed by the other shop assistants in the area. The friendly ones came over to help directly and took the opportunity to ask about today's shoppers. In a short time, word got around on this floor about what Ruan Soft had done today.

After waiting for a while, the steaming hot pot finally arrived. The boiling red oil in the pot bubbled with crimson chili peppers and clusters of Sichuan peppercorns scattered throughout. Ruan softened took her chopsticks, took a deep breath, and inhaled deeply. Mmm! So fragrant! This is the taste I was craving!

Shabu-shabu mutton, shrimp dumplings, boiled meat rolls, and then a few sips of chilled sour plum soup, so refreshing! I chew the soft food with relish, taking big bites of meat. It's spicy, making me "ah" and "ha" in delight.

The treasure in the consciousness started to clamor, because the host was eating something incredibly delicious! But he couldn't eat it. Unconvinced, he directly broadcasted a new mission.

System Task: Within two days, spend fifty million yuan in cash. Reward: Ten stores on M City's Central Avenue, a commercial pedestrian street.

Ruann was startled by the sudden announcement and surprised by the reward. The shops on the pedestrian street of Central Avenue were, without a doubt, the most expensive in the entire city. It truly lived up to its reputation as a system product; so generous!

The task definitely needs to be done, but right now, it's still important to eat a good meal.

Other tables around were already paying attention to Ruan Rou the moment she entered. It wasn't for any other reason, simply because she was too beautiful. Just looking at her stunning looks, they felt like they could eat another bowl of rice. Let alone a beauty who ate so deliciously!

She was a little carried away with her eating, and at that moment, a slender young man in tight pants, with hair that was tossed about freely, walked towards her.

"Beauty! My name is Liu Liu, you can call me Liu Ge. Let's be friends!" He puffed out his chest with exaggerated breathiness, trying to appear cool as he spoke, and even ran a hand through his hair while doing so.

Ruan Ran pretended not to hear. She didn't want to be bothered by strangers while she ate, so she continued to use her chopsticks to nimbly stir the beef tripe in her bowl.

Liu Liu saw that the other party ignored her, but she didn't give up. She felt that the other party was captivated by her and was too shy to speak. She leaned closer, resting one hand on the table and the other on the back of Ruan Ruan's seat. She spoke again, "Beauty~ Don't be shy! Come have a meal with us and make some friends."

Now, Ruan Soft couldn't bear it anymore because she felt that the man named Liu Liu's saliva and dandruff were about to fall onto her food. She immediately stood up from her seat and moved away from him a bit.

"Don't you know that wasting food is wrong!" Ruan Soft said to Liu Liu loudly.

Liu Liu was a little confused by this. Soon, Ruan Ruan continued.

"Your saliva and dandruff got all over my food!" As soon as he said that, everyone around him started laughing quietly.

Liu Liu suddenly blushed with embarrassment. Just as she was about to retort, a pair of hands suddenly landed on her shoulders.

"Hey! Are you teasing the little girl"

Liu Liu and Ruan Ruan both looked at the man, Ruan Ruan's expression was a little surprised, how could it be him! What a coincidence.

Liu Liu only felt that this person was meddling, and couldn't help but speak out: "Who are you!"

Cheng Yu increased the pressure on his grip, still wearing a smiling expression: "I'm her brother."

Liu Liu wanted to say something more, but the force on his shoulder forced him to comply.

"Excuse me, excuse me." He said, and then wanted to leave.

At this time, Ru'an softly called out to him, "Hey, wait a moment, you have to pay me for the dishes I haven't eaten yet! You got them dirty, I can't even eat them anymore!"

Liu Liu turned his head, a little angry, but seeing the pressure in the man's eyes beside him, he reluctantly returned to the table.

"Just pay, and I'm taking my food!" He said that without waiting for Ruan Ruan to reply, picked up the remaining dishes on the table, and walked away dejectedly.

"Miss Ruan, it's nice to see you again! I didn't expect to meet you here!" After Cheng Yu and the others left, he took a closer look at the girl in front of him. She seemed different from the one he saw in the hospital. Now, she was like she had taken off her disguise, revealing her sharp edge.

"How would I know, when did Dr. Cheng become my brother" Ruan Rou also said with a smile.

In the end, Cheng Yu was the first to concede defeat. "Sorry, sorry, this wasn't a special situation. You just got discharged from the hospital and came to eat hot pot And spicy hot pot at that!"

"Oh my, oh my, I'm all better now. Oh right, I should thank you. It was you who helped with my grandmother, wasn't it"

"This time I'll let you off the hook, but next time remember to come back for a check-up on time! But how did you know it was me Has the money already been approved" Cheng Yu couldn't figure it out. How could the other party know about this subtle help

"No, no, it's just that I ran into Mr. Wang, who manages the relief fund, today. He was quite polite to me and even wanted me to say a few nice words about you in front of you. I guessed as much."

"So that's how it is, the relief money should be coming soon, you don't need to worry too much." Cheng Yu thought about Ruan Soft's grandmother's illness and comforted her.

"It's okay, I accidentally came into some money. Grandma's surgery fees are covered now. This opportunity should go to someone who needs it more!" Ruan Rou said, playfully winking her eye.

It was then that Cheng Yu understood why the current Ruan Soft was different from what it had been during the day. He suddenly remembered the rumor he'd heard at the hospital at lunchtime about someone who had won three major prizes in a row.

He stared at Ruan Soft with astonishment, "You, you wouldn't...you couldn't be the one who won three grand prizes, could you"

"You already know this, don't you" Ruan softened in surprise that Cheng Yu even knew this, when she hadn't told many people.

"It's all over the hospital! But you have unbelievable luck!" Cheng Yu said, giving a thumbs up. He didn't think the money was much, he just had never seen someone win three big prizes at once. If it were him, he could brag about it to his brothers for a lifetime.

"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key!" Ruan softened her hands and said with a smile.

"I think I need a friend like Miss Ruan who is so lucky!"

For some reason, Cheng Yu felt an extreme fondness for Ruan Rou. It wasn't the kind of feeling between a man and a woman, but rather something vague and indescribable.

Ruan softened his eyes and feigned surprise, saying, "I thought we were already friends!" Suddenly, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Because Chengyu came with a friend, the two didn't talk for long before parting ways.eems to have eight hundred eyes in their heads!"When Ruan Ran returned home, she first ate a simple dinner and then planned to tidy up the things in her dressing room. After all, she bought quite a fe...
