Chapter 3451 Entering the Game
In the end, Xu Xian could only solve the problem from the side, because these women could no longer communicate effectively.
She went directly to the store and the waiter, and relied on her popularity to make up a seemingly believable excuse.
According to Xu Xian, it was a little game between them: everyone took turns ordering, and the one who called for stop had to pay for everyone!
A game that didn't sound normal. Xu Xian didn't know whether the other party would believe it or how they would view them.
But she really can't take care of so much now. If she can give a reason, she is already smart.
Xu Xian just wanted to stop the girls' stupid behavior at the moment. Even if she was misunderstood for it, she thought it was worth it.
Fortunately, the store owner didn't seem to think too much about it. He simply thought that the artist was very interesting, and he could create such a big fuss over a meal.
While the store agreed to cooperate, it also raised a new question: Whose order was it when they went in and said there were no side dishes?
There was indeed a certain amount of pressure, because they decided that the girl would pay. It would be better for Xu Xian to give the answer to this kind of thing.
Xu Xian couldn't help but feel dizzy after hearing this. Did they think too much? Just say whatever you want when you go in. She, Xu Xian, will take care of everything!
The effect of the communication was relatively clear, and soon the store brought "unfortunate news": "Sorry, the side dishes prepared in the store may not be enough, otherwise you..."
The store owner paused deliberately, which was a vague reminder to the girls. They should also realize that the game is over.
It stands to reason that both parties should have a tacit understanding, but the next reaction of these women caught the store off guard.
"No more? How about changing to another dish? This one is no more?"
"How come a store as big as yours has nothing left? Are you worried that we can't pay?"
"I have reason to suspect that you are targeting us. Did someone say something to you in private?"
While the girls were putting pressure on the store owner, they kept looking at Li Menglong. The object of their suspicion was extremely obvious.
They thought Li Menglong had given up, but they were too embarrassed to tell them, so they had to find the store secretly.
But they obviously found the wrong person, Xu Xian was clearly nervous.
She is not afraid that the store will expose her. She is doing this for the good of these women, and she has a clear conscience.
What she was afraid of was that the store wouldn't say anything, which would aggravate the misunderstanding.
And from her point of view, the store owner must be very unhappy at the moment. They all came to cooperate with the performance, but these women didn't play according to the routine?
Fortunately, the girls' basic self-cultivation is still there, and the most they speak is yin and yang, not to the point of being bossy.
Therefore, there is still a possibility of remedying the situation, and Xu Xian believes that the best result is for Li Menglong to accept everything.
He should stop messing around here. The girls have learned their lesson. Maybe they understand everything, they just can't admit it.
Besides, after ordering so many dishes, even if they can be packed, how long does he want to eat the leftovers? Can you eat it for a full month?
With Xu Xian's gaze, Li Menglong finally restrained himself. This was not because he was afraid of Xu Xian's pressure, but just to gain some face by selling to Xu Xian.
"Ahem, I have also opened a restaurant. We are half the same business." Li Menglong took the initiative to close the distance with the store owner: "Opening a store is not easy, and any special situation may happen. I'm sorry to trouble you today. Look, See if there is any refund for the dishes you ordered before. Don’t make it impossible for you to do business.”
Li Menglong not only solved the crisis in front of him, but also brought some closure to the previous problems.
However, he didn't mean to bully others. The specific dishes that could be withdrawn depended on what had been done in the kitchen, and factors such as human nature and sophistication should also be taken into consideration.
So Li Menglong called Xu Xian's name: "Xiao Xian, please go out and have a look. Don't let others suffer. It's not easy to open a store."
The more Li Menglong talked, the more sympathetic he became, but was he taking it too far?
He opened a serious restaurant, and the scale was quite large. What was he doing at that time?
To put it nicely, it's called opening a shop, but in fact, it's to help the proprietress. Can this be the same thing?
It's as if someone told the girls that he was an idol who debuted at the same time, so he could empathize with all the pain the girls went through.
This is obviously nonsense. Maybe when we first debuted, everyone was a newcomer, and everything we experienced had different similarities to varying degrees.
But as the girls become famous and firmly occupy the position of the number one girl group, what can the other side do to empathize with them? Have you ever been number one in the industry?
Fortunately, the store owner is not as cynical as the girls. The other party always thought they were here to participate in game interaction, so it still felt very fresh.
As for the unconventional behavior of the girls and even Li Menglong, this is understood by the store as the ability to adapt to changes. It seems that it is not easy for artists to make variety shows. At least as an ordinary person, he simply cannot keep up with the rhythm.
While the store owner was thinking, Xu Xian also looked at Li Menglong, nodded slightly and followed immediately.
She could probably understand what Li Menglong meant. She just wanted to take care of the store owner's mood and not just return all the dishes.
Maybe because of their artist status, the store will take the initiative to make such a request, but it's best not to agree.
After all, they are the ones who "make mistakes" first, and they have to bear some price, such as eating leftovers for several days in a row?
If this standard is followed, it will be much easier for Xu Xian to handle. As for the specific weight, I will leave it all to Xu Xian. I believe she will give a perfect answer.
However, unlike Xu Xian's hard work, the girls looked much more relaxed here. They did not realize that they had escaped a crisis that could last for weeks.
They even had the intention to continue teasing Li Menglong. After all, in their eyes, it was Li Menglong who gave up first, and they won the interaction!
"Don't always be arrogant in front of us in the future, you don't deserve it!"
"Don't think that what happened before is over. The gift must be made up for, and it must be more expensive!"
"You don't need to answer. We don't believe your words. We just need to see your actions. Think about it yourself." The girls' repeated speeches are very dangerous. If Li Menglong is more timid, it might be true. I was frightened by them.
As for him now, a gift? What gift? Why did he buy gifts for these women?
The fact that he was able to take out the money before was considered impulsive, but he couldn't fall in the same place twice. He had to learn from the previous lessons.
So he has no urge to talk at all now. There are so many dishes on the table. If you don't eat them, they will be cold. What a waste?
As for Li Menglong's little thoughts, the girls may not tell them clearly, but they can make a rough guess.
He thought that responding with silence would make them helpless?
Innocent! We have been together for so long, why does Li Menglong still have such naive thoughts?
It's not that difficult to force him. You can even just say a few words: "Does anyone want to treat you today? If no one comes forward, then it's okay. We only accept cash!"
Although Kim Taeyeon said this to the other girls, her eyes were fixed on Li Menglong. Would he dare to continue using his chopsticks?
In fact, Li Menglong really stopped moving. If possible, he would like to spit out the food in his mouth.
On weekdays, it is enough for everyone to share it equally, but Li Menglong can still think about it.
But today's situation is obviously far beyond his ability to bear. He really doesn't deserve to sit and eat with these women. Otherwise, should he leave first?
"How about that? Your job is to protect us. What if some gangsters break in?"
The girls used an assumption to persuade Li Menglong to stay, but what gangster was so blind that he dared to come in and molest them?
The gangster came in with a sinister smile, and eventually ran out with a broken head and blood. He even shouted for his companions to call the police. He met a female gangster!
However, both sides are assuming. If it doesn't really happen, it can only be said that the girls have more basis. Who made Li Menglong earn this money?
So even though he didn't want to pay, he could only sit here and watch them feast. The scene was quite cruel for a while.
But the girls don't think so. This is the punishment Li Menglong deserves!
Besides, they can't do this all the time. The jokes must be relaxed and moderate. Being too strong will only arouse Li Menglong's disgust.
They are very experienced in this aspect, otherwise why could Li Menglong tolerate them for so long?
As for where the so-called "relaxation" comes from, it depends on when Xu Xian comes back.
It is absolutely impossible for a little girl to watch a similar situation happen. This is simply workplace bullying.
At the same time, they were also vaguely looking forward to how Xu Xian would break the situation. Should he pay extra money to pay Li Menglong's share, or should he educate them righteously at the dinner table?
The process of waiting for Xu Xian is still a bit long. Of course, this is mainly from Li Menglong's perspective. For the girls, it is just half a bowl of rice.
When he saw Xu Xian pushing the door open, Li Menglong almost cried: "Why have you been gone for so long? Don't you know I'm waiting for you?"
Following Li Menglong's "confession", Xu Xian was stunned on the spot. What's going on? A prank?
But looking at the surprised and disgusted expressions of the girls, Xu Xian felt that this shouldn't be the case, so this was all Li Menglong's personal behavior?
Li Menglong doesn't care about so much, he is just waiting for Xu Xian to seek justice for him!
In fact, the girls just guessed the result correctly, and Xu Xian would indeed come forward to help, but it was not because of her sense of justice, but because Li Menglong shamelessly forced himself to ask Xu Xian for help.
Speaking of which, they also admired Li Menglong's shamelessness. Didn't he want to be more manly in front of Xu Xian?
Li Menglong can still answer this question. He really has not thought about it that way.
The so-called manliness is nothing more than acting stronger and more perfect, and then gaining Xu Xian's favor.
But his relationship with Xu Xian is already very close. If he continues to manage his image, does he want further results?
Therefore, Li Menglong is more like being strong without desire. He has no further thoughts about Xu Xian, so he can naturally let himself go.
After Xu Xian briefly listened to Li Menglong's words, he couldn't help but rub his forehead. She had just gone out not long ago, how could she start a fight again?
"If there is a problem, solve it. What's the point of not letting him eat? Starving him to death will do you no good."
Xu Xian looked at the girls around her and said seriously. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to get involved in these people's childish games.
So in Xu Xian's opinion, all the girls need to do is relax a little and the matter will be over.
But the girls don’t see it that way. Their reasons are justifiable: “Who didn’t let him eat? He didn’t want to pay for it himself. Who is to blame?”
Facing the girls' explanations, Xu Xian couldn't help but muttered: "Isn't this just to prevent him from eating..."
Xu Xian now understood everything that happened, and she had to come up with a solution. However, she did not go along with the girls' speculations and came up with her own solution.
Xu Xian didn't say anything. He picked up the nearest plate and took a mouthful of it without any trace: "This is too salty and not delicious. Oppa, please throw it away for me."
Xu Xian handed the plate to Li Menglong naturally. As for throwing it away, it didn't necessarily have to be thrown into the trash can, or Li Menglong's belly could also be the trash can.
In short, Li Menglong finally gained the right to eat with the girls by picking up Xu Xian's "leftovers".
Although Xu Xian's method was a bit too tricky, the girls did not continue to cause trouble. Otherwise, how would it end?
With so many dishes, they didn't know what they would do without Li Menglong as a foodie. If they really wanted to throw them all away, they wouldn't have the guts.
As a result, the guests and hosts enjoyed the meal, especially Xu Xian who took a huge advantage. He only paid for himself, but ate more than everyone else put together.
Sure enough, there is still something to be said for being the maknae, but the girls can turn a blind eye, but can Li Menglong stop provoking them all the time?
They were all eating together, but he was the one here burping non-stop. Did he think that he could live up to Xu Xian's hospitality in this way?
If he refuses to admit this accusation, the consequences will be even more serious, because he is provoking. Let him choose a crime to admit!
Li Menglong didn't want to talk to them. Surely this gave him a choice? It's just two ways to die, see which one is less painful.
This does not mean that they are benevolent. Li Menglong still wants to live for a long time and finally send them away one by one. When the time comes, can he compete for their inheritance? He thinks he has the qualifications!
