“Welcome.”
The waiter quickly greeted them. Although Jian Ai and Jiachi were wearing school uniforms, he did not neglect them.
“May I ask how many of you are here?” The waiter was dressed in black pants, a black vest, and a white shirt. There was a bow at the collar, making him look professional.
“Just the two of us. Please give us a seat with better lighting,” Jian Ai said with a smile.
The waiter brought the two of them to a spot near the window. Although it was still a little dark, it was the place with the most light in the entire restaurant.
Taking the menu, Jian Ai opened it and saw that it was a full English menu. She couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.
“For appetizers, we’ll have French foie gras, creamy baked snails with butter, and grilled prawns with orange mustard sauce.”
“Creamy mushroom soup with garlic bread.”
“For mains, we’ll have two sirloin steaks.”
Afraid that Jiachi wouldn’t be able to accept the doneness of the western-style steak, she instructed the waiter, “One portion to be thirty percent cooked, the other to be one hundred percent.”
“Lastly, for desserts, I want a crispy crepe wrapped with fresh fruits and vanilla ice cream. Put more strawberries in it. Thank you!”
The ordering process for standard French cuisine was from the appetizer and soup to the main dishes and desserts. Jian Ai was familiar with it, and it was not difficult for her to look at the English menu.
The waiter had no intention of discriminating against students, but Jian Ai shocked him. It was obvious that she often ate French food.
After the waiter left, Jiachi frowned and said worriedly, “Sister, there’s no difference between thirty percent cooked and one hundred percent cooked, right? Don’t eat until your stomach hurts!”
“Pfft…”
Jian Ai couldn’t help but laugh. Steak had to be cooked at least thirty percent before it was tender. There were very few people overseas who could eat fifty percent cooked steak. Some restaurants didn’t even provide seventy percent cooked steak, let alone one hundred percent.
However, in some cheap western restaurants, there would be blood on the steak no matter how cooked it was. Firstly, the steak’s quality was not good, and the thickness was not enough. After the steak was grilled, it needed to be left aside for a period to expunge the blood water. Only authentic western restaurants would have this step.
“Don’t worry. I’ve asked for a hundred percent for yours.” Jian Ai smiled at Yao Jiachi.
She really cherished this brother of hers, no matter how she looked at him. Why was he so likable?
At this moment, someone pushed the door open and entered the restaurant.
“Welcome!” The waiter’s voice followed.
Ji Haoyu took off his sunglasses and twisted his neck casually and roguishly. He said, “For two!”
Behind him was Qiu Jiahao.
The two of them drank until the latter half of the night last night. Ji Haoyu stayed at Qiu Jiahao’s place for the night. At this time, he was still wearing the casual outfit from yesterday’s family banquet.
“Young Master Ji, look…”
Qiu Jiahao accidentally glanced around and saw Jian Ai by the window.
He had only seen Jian Ai once. It was when Jian Ai hit someone at the Starlight Bar.
Therefore, although it was only once, it left a very deep impression on Qiu Jiahao that he recognized her at a glance.
Ji Haoyu looked up. The moment he saw Jian Ai, the lazy expression on his face instantly froze, and then he blinked in uncertainty.
Wasn’t this girl from Erzhong?
Jian Ai was talking and laughing with Jiachi. The smile on her face was bright and pure, and it was exceptionally dazzling.
Ji Haoyu’s gaze also landed on Jiachi, who was opposite Jian Ai. His heart tightened. For some reason, a strange emotion assaulted his heart. Ji Haoyu’s eyes constricted, and his entire face instantly darkened to the bottom of a pot!
