Lu Feng
Wang Yong coughed without changing expression, a familiar smile on his face: "Zhu Chang, are you pretending not to know me now? Last time you snatched my food! I didn't get enough to eat because of that... By the way, why hasn't your novel updated yet? I follow it every day, don't slack off!"
Zhu Chang was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead with a look of sudden realization: "Oh! It's you! You're that... that so-and-so, right?"
Actually, he had no impression of Wang Yong at all and didn't know who he was.
But hearing Wang Yong say he had snatched his food before and read his novel, he pretended to just remember and responded with an excited expression.
"Remembered?"
Wang Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief inside and quickly went along: "Go back and update your novel quickly, I've run out of books to read lately, one chapter a day is like squeezing toothpaste, who can read that?"
He actually had never said a word to Zhu Chang normally, it was just that Zhu Chang was quite active at Lu Family Restaurant every day, and he had unintentionally heard him mention writing novels at home.
"Got it, got it!"
Zhu Chang waved his hand, showing an impatient expression: "Writing a novel can't be rushed, you need inspiration to write fast, speaking of inspiration..."
Zhu Chang started talking about writing novels and began chattering on about various professional terms, completely failing to notice that Wang Yong over there wasn't listening at all.
"Dad, you saw, right? I've come here too many times, I know a lot of people here."
Wang Yong smiled at his father and pointed at Zhu Chang, who was still talking nonstop over there: "This guy often eats with me, don't look at how plain he looks, he's actually a famous writer!"
Wang Shuisheng stood by his son's side, watching his son chatting familiarly with that fat man over there, the suspicion in his heart finally faded quite a bit, and he believed his son's words that life in Jiangcheng was going quite well.
Although that fat man's appearance differed quite a bit from the writer image in his mind.
But since he could eat himself so fat, he seemed to be someone with good living conditions.
If his son were just an ordinary office worker, he probably couldn't make friends like this.
Because he had heard people say that rich people disdain making friends with poor people.
Wang Shuisheng smiled honestly at Zhu Chang over there, carrying the simplicity unique to rural people, and he was very happy that his son had made a writer friend like this.
Zhu Chang was still talking nonstop about his experience writing novels, and seeing Wang Shuisheng smile at him, he was somewhat confused about the meaning.
Although he didn't know this uncle, since the man smiled at him, he should smile back.
So he also grinned at Wang Shuisheng, then lowered his head and continued eating.
"Dad, so today just listen to me, eat well here, don't worry about anything."
Wang Shuisheng smiled and comforted his father: "The food at this restaurant, no matter how many times I come to eat, I think it's especially delicious! You try it later, I guarantee you've never eaten such delicious food before!"
Wang Shuisheng nodded, and at this moment the queue had just reached them father and son.
Hu Xiaoyun saw them coming, smiled and raised her head to look at Wang Shuisheng and asked: "Hello, what would you like to eat?"
Wang Shuisheng was at a loss by her question, it was his first time coming here, he thought every dish on the wall menu was expensive, and didn't know what to order.
"Hello, we're together."
Wang Yong moved forward a bit, glanced at the price list on the wall, then ordered in a light tone: "Please give us two portions of rice, one portion of Red Braised Pork, one portion of Stir-fried Asparagus Lettuce, and some Fengwei Shrimp, also..."
"Enough, enough, Xiao Yong, it's just the two of us eating, why order so much?"
Wang Shuisheng quickly grabbed his son's arm, and waved his hand at Hu Xiaoyun, looking awkward: "Miss, just order this much, enough to eat is enough!"
He had seen the prices of the few dishes his son just ordered, he thought every one was very expensive.
Just the price of these few dishes equaled several days of turnover at his small shop back home.
Wang Yong looked at his father's pained expression and couldn't help but feel a bit sour in his heart.
His father had been stingy all his life, usually hesitating for several days before buying a piece of clothing, now spending so much money on one meal, he must be heartbroken.
He patted his father's arm and smiled at Hu Xiaoyun: "Alright, let's just order these for now."
"Okay, both of you please wait a moment, the food will be ready soon."
Hu Xiaoyun smiled and nodded, quickly entered the order on the computer, took the printed slip and walked into the Kitchen.
Wang Yong and his son had just finished ordering, Zhu Chang over there had already finished eating, he wiped his mouth, looked at Wang Yong at the Counter Side, and scratched his head with a puzzled expression.
He tried hard to recall in his mind, but still had no impression of Wang Yong at all.
Although Zhu Chang usually liked to snatch other people's food, he only did that with familiar diners, and didn't snatch just anyone's food.
If it was a stranger diner, he would be too embarrassed to snatch their food, his face wasn't that thick.
Zhu Chang thought his memory was still quite good, for every diner whose food he had snatched, he remembered very clearly.
The reason he could remember clearly was simple, after all, only by remembering firmly could he continue to snatch their food next time.
But Wang Yong just said he had snatched his food to eat, and he had no impression at all.
"Strange, who exactly is that person? Could it be that too many people had their food snatched by me, so I can't remember clearly?"
Zhu Chang touched his chin, trying hard to recall, muttering softly in his mouth.
He recalled for a long time, finally confirming one thing, that he simply didn't know Wang Yong.
But then his eyes lit up, and he showed a happy expression on his face.
Whether he knew him or not, since the other party said he had snatched his food, then from now on when coming to the Restaurant to eat, he would continue to snatch his food, he probably wouldn't have an opinion, right?
During this period Ma Wenliang happened to go to Shanghai on a business trip, Zhu Chang had no fixed food-snatching target, and could only eat the one dish he ordered alone every day.
Wang Yong's appearance was very timely for him.
Zhu Chang showed a relieved smile at the corner of his mouth, nodded with satisfaction, and had already started planning to snatch Wang Yong's food next time he came to the Restaurant.
At the Counter Side, Hu Xiaoyun soon brought the food for Wang Yong and his son.
"Both of you, your food is ready, please enjoy."
Hu Xiaoyun handed the tray to Wang Yong and said with a smile.
Zhu Chang over there looked at the dishes on Wang Yong's tray and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Seeing that two people were eating together over there today, he decided not to join the fun himself first.
But Zhu Chang had already silently marked Wang Yong as his new target for snatching dishes, and when leaving he couldn't help glancing at the seat where Wang Yong and the others sat down two more times.
