He indeed bought quite a few portions.
Originally, he had the intention to feed them.
After dealing with so many women, he may have been dumb before, but now he's an emotional expert.
He knows that every woman is a foodie.
Feeding them is the surefire way to win their favor.
"This... doesn't feel right," she said reluctantly, but her heart was moved.
"Go and call them over. There's so much food, and if we don't eat it together, it'll go to waste.
The weather is hot now, and it won't be long before it goes bad."
Xia Ruyi felt his words made sense.
So, she happily went to call the sisters.
Good things, of course, should be shared with the sisters.
The Wives' Club.
Came excitedly.
One, two, three, each passing by Sun Dasheng at the door would give his six-pack abs a playful touch and then sweetly say "Thanks!"
Goodness me.
Are they treating me, Sun, as a male model?
Xia Ruyi looked at him apologetically and whispered: "I'm so sorry, they're not usually like this."
Oh, normally they are very reserved.
High-cold noble blossoms in front of others.
Behind closed doors, wild and untamed, huh?
Everyone arrived enthusiastically but left disappointed.
Why?
Because Xia Ruyi was chasing them away.
"Alright, you've eaten now, time to go. Crowding here just doesn't make sense, people need space to rest properly."
The door of the private room closed.
Everyone thought that those inside couldn't hear.
The conversation got a bit bolder.
"Ruyi, are you trying to eat alone? Aren't you going to share with your sisters?"
"What are you talking about? Mind your image, you're a married woman, a housewife, with a family and kids."
"Oh... you know, we're all tired of being housewives.
We came out to have fun and seek some thrill, didn't we?
Why? Don't believe it? Would I lie in front of my sisters?"
"Chen Xingru, you better control them. They're getting out of hand."
Chen Xingru: "I think Yuexin's right, we're here to have fun. After playing, nobody knows anyone in the martial world, it's not a big deal, as long as we're not actually betraying our families and running off with some wild man."
Wang Xiaofei: "Sister Xingru, you're right!"
Jin Xuehui, under Xia Ruyi's gaze, also slowly nodded, expressing her agreement.
Hu Yuexin: "See, I told you, everyone agrees, except you, Ruyi, always single, never married, don't understand the hardships we housewives face."
Xia Ruyi: "..."
She had nothing to say.
Perhaps it's true that without experiencing others' hardships, one shouldn't advise them on what's good.
She indeed hasn't been married, nor been a housewife.
And doesn't know what they've been through all these years.
Is it really as bitter as they say?
She knows nothing.
So she could only keep her mouth shut.
Actually, she doesn't quite agree with this value system.
But she's the minority, what could she do?
Just be herself.
Watching Xia Ruyi enter the private room looking downcast.
The four sisters, on their way back to their own room, started discussing.
"Sister Xingru, what we just said unanimously in front of Ruyi, wasn't that inappropriate?"
Soft-hearted Jin Xuehui spoke up.
Hu Yuexin scoffed, "We're adults, not that fragile, what's wrong with that? Besides, we'll soon be doing some outrageous acts in front of her, letting her know beforehand is still better than explaining when it happens, right?"
"Makes sense!" Wang Xiaofei hugged Jin Xuehui's arm, "Alright, I know your heart is soft, then you can go explain to her later."
Jin Xuehui looked at the other three sisters and said helplessly: "Alright."
She was coaxed into this.
And she knew the plan from the start.
But now she kind of regretted it.
She agreed too readily back then, because the trivial matters at home had pissed her off.
She wanted to vent.
However, when she really set off, she became calm instead.
Is this really good?
Isn't it a bit irresponsible to the family?
Yet she's already caught in this wave and could only go along, unable to break free.
Puff puff...
The scenery under the sunset is beautiful.
Sun Dasheng captured the moment with his camera.
At this time, the train began to slow down.
The conductor's announcement sounded: "Next stop, Lanzhou Station, passengers who are disembarking, please take your luggage and belongings, prepare to alight!"
"Oh, we've reached Lanzhou?"
Sun Dasheng interlocked his fingers, snapped them.
Crackle crackle.
Then he stretched lazily and stood up.
He said to Xia Ruyi, who he was already familiar with across the table, "Hey! Get up, come with me to pick up the takeout."
Xia Ruyi wasn't surprised.
She had long known about the other's wealth.
Every time they reached a big station.
He would always say it's to try the local cuisine.
And then... buy a whole bunch of food.
And every time, he would ask her to come along to pick it up.
The stuff was really heavy.
But she had to go.
Because if she didn't go, her girlfriends wouldn't have anything to eat.
"What did you order in Lanzhou?" Xia Ruyi asked.
"Coming to Lanzhou, of course, I ordered Lanzhou noodles!" Sun Dasheng made a little joke.
Xia Ruyi across from him also laughed.
Because they had just discussed whether Lanzhou noodles are truly a local specialty of Lanzhou.
After a friendly exchange, they both agreed that Lanzhou noodles are not a local specialty of Lanzhou.
"Alright, getting serious, coming to Lanzhou, of course, we have to try the famous beef noodles here."
"Besides beef noodles?" Xia Ruyi asked.
Sun Dasheng counted on his fingers, "There's also stuffed skin, gray beans, sweet fermented grains, milk egg mash, Lanzhou hand-caught lamb, lamb offal, roasted lamb, lamb bread soup..."
Listening to this made Xia Ruyi's head spin, and she quickly called a halt, "Alright, my rich brother, you better cancel some of those, we can't finish all that."
Especially with so much meat.
"No way, being in the Northwest, how could we not have a proper taste of the lamb here?
I've heard the lamb here is completely different from Shanghai City's, not a hint of gaminess, I have to try and see if that's true."
....
Panting heavily!
Xia Ruyi carried a bunch of bags, following behind Sun Dasheng.
She looked at him with a face full of complaints, "This guy doesn't have the slightest bit of chivalry, lucky for me my limit is just this much, otherwise, he'd probably hang a few more bags on me."
Back on the train.
As usual, he called over a bunch of people.
Six people, in a four-person compartment.
It was really cramped.
But it didn't matter.
Except for Xia Ruyi.
The others were all a bit too brazen.
Making Sun Dasheng inwardly feel that this trip was worth it.
Xia Ruyi, as usual.
Quickly finished her meal and went out for some fresh air.
She was very uncomfortable with this kind of ambiguous scene.
But she couldn't interfere with her sisters' matters.
At least they all cared about her.
You could feel that.
She actually had her own reasons for coming out this time.
For an adult, if they're unhappy, it's usually for two reasons: an unhappy family, or an unsatisfactory job.
Since she had no family, she belonged to the latter.
She hadn't been as unfortunate as to be laid off.
But things weren't great either.
The company got a new female boss, who was always picking on her.
Moved her from an important position to a menial one.
Basically suggesting she get lost.
But she wasn't about to let it go her way.
She stubbornly held on, not leaving.
But ever since she got sidelined, no colleagues dared to interact with her in the company.
Being isolated, she wanted to get out to relax.
So she took some annual leave and came out to have fun with some good college friends.
Xia Ruyi sat on a folding chair in the aisle, watching the scenery.
The people in the compartment were avidly discussing the sights along the way.
Chen Xingru, with sharp eyes, saw Sun Dasheng's camera, and said, "I didn't expect you to bring a camera, can we see the photos you took? Share the good ones with us."
"No problem!" Sun Dasheng handed the camera over.
"Wow! It's a Nikon D850, just the body costs at least twenty thousand, right?" Chen Xingru, with an eye for good equipment, said.
"It's not worth much, paired with the trinity lenses, in total just about 65,000." Sun Dasheng said in a relaxed tone.
As if the tens of thousands of dollars he mentioned were like a few bucks to others, easy and laid-back.
The ladies didn't understand the brand or the lenses, but they understood the price.
In their hearts, they exclaimed: Damn, he's rich!
And then their gazes towards him became even more fervent.
Tall, handsome, and rich equals what?
Equals a dazzling, irresistible guy.
How could women not drool?
Chen Xingru glared at the sisters showing indecent expressions, telling them to restrain themselves.
She then smiled, touched the hand of the tall, rich, and handsome man across, and swayed it, "Could you do us the favor of taking some portrait shots for us?"
