Xiaoming was pleasantly surprised that Hailong had so easily agreed to his request. Hu Jing was overjoyed, skipping and pulling Hailong's hand as they entered the KFC.
Although she didn't feel guilty about spending Hailong's money, Hu Jing still felt a bit embarrassed when the moment came. Standing in front of the cashier, she didn't know what to order.
Seeing Hu Jing's embarrassment, Hailong chuckled and said, "Sis, don't be so formal with your big brother. It's too distant if you're formal with your boyfriend."
Hailong's mention of a boyfriend made Hu Jing blush. Especially when she saw the cashier's teasing expression, she felt even more at a loss. Angrily, she raised her arm and hit Hailong, saying, "Stop it, don't talk nonsense. I haven't agreed yet." Hu Jing indeed hadn't agreed last semester, but at that time, she had implicitly accepted it. Hailong didn't mind; Hu Jing would eventually become his woman, so there was no rush. What he enjoyed most was the thrill of dating, which was irresistible.
Hu Jing had only been to KFC a few times, so she didn't know what to order. She picked a burger meal and then didn't know what else to choose. Looking at the variety of delicious options, Hu Jing pouted and said to Hailong, "Bro, I don't know what to order. I want to eat something good today, so you take care of the rest." She then huffed and skipped off to find a seat.
Hailong laughed heartily at Hu Jing's antics. Seeing her find a seat, he turned back and saw the cashier smiling kindly at him. Hailong felt a bit embarrassed and said to the cashier, "I'll have one of everything you sell." He then took out his wallet to pay.
The cashier, who had been chuckling at the cute couple, was suddenly flustered. Without breakfast, KFC had 8 main dishes, 13 side dishes, and 15 desserts and drinks, totaling 36 items.
The cashier thought, "To chase a girl, you don't have to be so wasteful. Ordering one of everything would cost several hundred yuan." With a black line on her forehead, she asked, "Sir, KFC has 36 items in total, excluding breakfast. Do you want all of them?"
Hailong nodded and said, "Just the hot drinks, and one of everything else."
There was nothing the cashier could do. She couldn't decide for his wallet, so she nodded and smiled, "Please wait at your seat. We'll bring the food to your table shortly." Hailong nodded and went to find Hu Jing.
Seeing Hailong return, Hu Jing was secretly smiling. She thought, "I let Hailong laugh at me for not knowing how to order. This time, no matter what he brings, I'll say it doesn't suit my taste, to make him anxious. Humph."
The cashier brought a Spicy Chicken Leg Burger first. Hu Jing had only eaten this a few times at KFC, and it was her favorite. Seeing the Spicy Chicken Leg Burger, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She had only eaten breakfast after a whole day of playing, and now it was almost evening. She was starving, but thinking of making Hailong anxious, she pouted, put her hands on the seat, dangled her legs, and said, "Hmph, I don't like it. Big brother doesn't even know my preferences. How will you take care of me in the future?"
Hailong was speechless. Seeing Hu Jing's antics, he knew this little girl was messing with him again. But this time, he wasn't afraid. Unlike a French restaurant with over a hundred dishes, KFC had only 36 items. They could fit on one table if squeezed.
He thought, "This time, I'll teach you a lesson." He chuckled and said, "Little girl, this doesn't count since you didn't order it. I know what you like."
Hu Jing didn't know what she liked herself and didn't believe Hailong knew. She raised her lips and challenged, "Oh, tell me what I like. If you guess right, there's a reward."
Hearing about a reward, Hailong's eyes lit up. He asked, "What reward? Tell me first."
Hu Jing had just said it offhandedly, not really planning any reward. But seeing Hailong's excited expression, she scolded, "Bad boy, where are your thoughts going? I won't tell you the stakes. You guess."
Hailong watched as three waiters brought three full trays of food and chuckled, "Sis, I'll guess. I bet the snacks the waiters bring me are what you like."
Hu Jing pouted and huffed, showing her disbelief. She was flustered when the waiters brought all the KFC snacks one by one. Seeing over twenty items on the table, she asked, "Bro, why did you order so much?"
Hailong feigned hurt and said, "I didn't know what you liked, so I was afraid to order something you wouldn't like. To make you happy, I ordered one of everything."
Hu Jing felt embarrassed and said, "Sorry, bro. I was just teasing you. I didn't mean to make you spend so much." She didn't know that Hailong was now so rich, with over ten million yuan in his bank card, not knowing what to do with it.
Hailong affectionately patted Hu Jing's head and said, "It's okay. If you can't finish, we can take it home and eat it later. Then tell me what you like, and I'll buy it for you next time."
Feeling treated like a child, Hu Jing blushed and hit Hailong's arm, saying, "Bad boy, I'm not a child. Why are you touching my head?"
Hailong said softly, "You're not a child anymore. You made me nosebleed at home."
Mentioning this, Hu Jing giggled. She remembered waking up with her sleepwear slipping off, exposing half of her chest. She had deliberately teased Hailong, pushing her chest forward, making him nosebleed. She hit Hailong's arm and said, "Bad boy, why aren't you serious?"
The two laughed and chatted as they enjoyed their dinner at KFC. Suddenly, Hailong noticed it was snowing and said to Hu Jing, "Sis, look, it's snowing."
Snowflakes fell, landing on the ground and people's clothes. Occasionally, a cold wind blew, sending snowflakes into people's clothes, making them tighten their coats. Hu Jing, sitting by the window, watched the scene outside, suddenly feeling a bit melancholic. She lowered her head and stirred her hot coffee with a straw, saying, "Bro, do you think people change?"
Seeing the little girl's sudden low spirits, Hailong asked, "Why do you say that?"
Hu Jing sighed, looked up, and said helplessly, "I came back early partly because of you. I missed you, so I came back early. But also because of family issues. This year, my sister-in-law and my mother had a fight during the New Year."
Hailong listened. Hu Jing continued, "Since my brother married his wife, he seems to have changed. And his wife seems to have changed too. My brother, who used to be filial, now revolves around his wife. His wife, who used to be obedient to my mother, actually argued with her on New Year's Eve. It's the New Year, and I can't understand why people change so much."
