Chapter 350 Understanding her a little better

Just four or five blocks from the prestigious Shanghai University was a restaurant called Thousand Fragrances.

The Thousand Fragrances restaurant was very popular among university students as they usually went there after class. Students would gather with friends or their girlfriends/boyfriends to have a happy and peaceful lunch, enjoying a nice afternoon. The prices were a little higher than the rest of the nearby restaurants in comparison but at the same time it also had a greater variety of dishes and the service provided was of a much higher quality.

Students, depending on the type of family they came from and depending on how much cash they had in their pockets or bank accounts, could choose to eat in a large dining room on the 1st floor or they could reserve a private box.

The first floor was simply but undeniably elegant. Customers could simply choose a table at will, sit down, and after ordering could eat their meal paying only for what they ate. On the other hand, the second floor was much more extravagantly decorated and not just any normal student could afford to dine there.

The price to get a normal private room was 5000 yuan, a high price considering that such was the monthly salary for a person who did not have a college degree or no education. Even so, there was no shortage of students from wealthy families who made their reservations every day so the places were always full.

"This place is not bad." Xie Yao commented while looking at the decorations on the 1st floor. Some people might think she was being too arrogant, but in reality, her words could be considered praise considering that she had dined at upscale restaurants.

"Well, let's see what the decorations on the second floor are like." Xie Feng said as he advanced towards the counter. This was Xie Feng's first time coming to this particular restaurant so he didn't know much about it. He usually had lunch at home and even when he had lunch with his college friends he had lunch at the restaurant in front of the building.

Yao Mei, Gu Qianxue, Han Xue Nai, and Xie Yao walked behind him. From the first moment they entered the place, the gaze of dozens of men focused on them as if they were a magnet attracting metal objects. Among these stares, most of them were coming from students; but there were also some businessmen and even university teachers.

Earlier, Xie Feng called his own house telling Han Xue Nai that he would order a taxicab for her and explained the situation to her. After all, he couldn't just leave the girl alone at home... Even though she was an extremely powerful girl, she was still eleven years old.

The university was only five minutes away by car so Han Xue Nai quickly arrived at the campus entrance, meeting up with Xie Feng and the rest. After that, the group of five left towards the restaurant.

"Excuse me, I would like to have a private room." Xie Feng politely asked the pretty girl behind the counter.

'How handsome!' The pretty staff member couldn't help but think as a small blush rose on her white little face. She had seen all kinds of men throughout her nearly thirty years, but this was the first time she had personally seen a man as handsome as the one in front of her eyes.

Xie Yao looked at the beautiful employee with empathetic eyes. How could she not know what the woman was thinking? However, it was also something normal. After all, it was part of human nature to appreciate beautiful things.

Xie Feng could not help but smile bitterly when he saw the young woman employee become slightly dazed. However, his bitter smile looked as sweet as honey in the pretty woman's eyes. In the end, Xie Feng had to repeat the same thing one more time to get the woman out of the dreamland.

"Sorry!" The beautiful receptionist apologized in embarrassment, to which Xie Feng told her not to worry. She looked at the computer screen in front of her quickly and again apologized, but the reasons were different.

"Sir, I'm sorry... Currently, all the normal private rooms have already been reserved..."

Xie Feng blinked a little in surprise before another bitter smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

The original plan was to go home after the study schedule ended to have lunch together with Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and Han Xue Nai. However, Yao Mei's sudden appearance made that plan fly out the window.

Normally, he would not bother with her. But when he saw her having difficulty to speak, he couldn't help but remember Ling Long. In the end, feeling a little sympathy for the red-haired girl who was extremely powerful but at the same time looked so lonely, Xie Feng couldn't help but invite her to have lunch with them.

Xie Feng could naturally go to a closer and even cheaper restaurant, but since this was Yao Mei's welcome to Shanghai, Xie Feng wanted to take her somewhere a little more decent; not too extravagant, but at least a few points above normal.

Unfortunately, because he had no plans to come to this place, he naturally did not have a prior reservation.

However, the beautiful receptionist's next words made Xie Feng's eyes light up again.

"Although the normal private rooms are booked, we currently have the Imperial Sea Room and the White Tiger Room available... It's just that the price is a bit more expensive..." The pretty receptionist said carefully. If it was a normal student, she wouldn't have mentioned those words as that person definitely couldn't afford it. However, Xie Feng was accompanied by three big beauties and another smaller beauty.

Generally these kinds of people possessed decent funds. Otherwise, such beautiful women would only attract a disaster to the man and he would not be able to protect them.

Indeed, Xie Feng's next words confirmed the receptionist's thoughts.

"Great... Big Sister, you almost gave me a heart attack." Xie Feng sighed in relief before smiling and pulling out a bank card. "Please give me the best room."

Since he wanted to give this girl a little welcome party, he might as well do a little better, no?

"Our best private room is the Imperial Sea Hall, it has a cost of twenty thousand yuan... Are you sure?" the beautiful lady asked carefully.

"No problem." Xie Feng replied handing the bank card to her.

The receptionist received the bank card with shining eyes and after a minute handed it back to Xie Feng with a smile, "Ready. Mr. customer, enjoy your lunch."

Soon, Xie Feng and the girls were guided to the second floor by a service staff.

"Oh!" Han Xue Nai exclaimed as she ran to the glass table.

"It's better than I thought!" Xie Yao was a little surprised by the internal decorations of the place.

Even Xie Feng couldn't help but nod. Although the price of twenty thousand yuan was quite expensive, with these high-level decorations it was undoubtedly worth it.

After everyone took their seats, Xie Feng picked up the menu book and selected different vegetarian dishes, red and white meats, etc. He also ordered mineral water and natural juice.

After all, Yao Mei and Han Xue Nai were not yet of legal drinking age.

The wait staff bowed politely and left after she wrote down everything.

"So..." Xie Feng looked at Yao Mei and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "What brings you to Shanghai?"

Xie Yao and the rest also looked at Yao Mei waiting for her answer. They were also curious and wanted to know why she suddenly decided to come to study in Shanghai, leaving Beijing.

Yao Mei looked at Xie Feng before saying a single word: "You!"

"This..." Xie Feng didn't know what to say for a moment. "What do you mean by 'you'?"

"For goodness sake, Xie Feng!" Gu Qianxue giggled. "What little sister Yao Mei means is that she came because she's curious about you! Isn't that right, Yao Mei?"

Yao Mei blinked several times. After three or four seconds of careful thought, she nodded and said, "I'm curious about you."

After saying that, Yao Mei let out a small sigh as if she was relieved of something.

Yao Mei's voice was extremely beautiful and it was really charming to listen to her. Her words left Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue dumbfounded; neither of them expected that this girl would be so frank! On the other hand, Han Xue Nai was giggling lightly like a little imp.

However, Xie Feng's mind had no strange thoughts. When he saw Yao Mei sigh in relief after she had finished her speech, he realized something.

'Apparently, questions that can be answered with one word are fine? But when she has to speak several words, she hesitates or has trouble.'

Previously when he invited her to lunch together, Yao Mei responded almost immediately. However, when she needed to develop a dialogue to respond, she stalled as if she didn't know what to say.

Although he could be wrong, Xie Feng felt that he was beginning to know a little about this powerful fifteen-year-old beauty.

Although he did not have any talks with her nor did he know her particularly well, what he had seen so far was nothing like what he had heard about her. All Xie Feng could see about Yao Mei was that she was an extremely beautiful young girl, but that she had difficulty communicating with people.

The reasons? Xie Feng didn't know... But at the very least, he wanted to treat her nicely. After all, although Yao Mei's body and overall appearance were comparable to an adult woman, she was only four years older than Han Xue Nai.
