Chapter 158 is about her wishes.
When the atmosphere became tense, the waiter brought the dishes over.
"The dishes are all served. Please enjoy your meal."
Liu Biao childishly corrected the waiter, "There are two of them."
The waiter looked embarrassed, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, enjoy your meal." Then he pushed the cart away.
Liu Biao said this to Feng Jiashu, but Feng Jiashu remained calm because He Qiaoyun hadn't said she didn't welcome him, so he didn't need to rush to leave.
There were three people, and only two bowls of rice were served on the table.
He Qiaoyun called over the waiter and said, "Bring another bowl of rice."
Liu Biao knew immediately that the rice was for Feng Jiashu, and his eyes were filled with displeasure.
Feng Jiashu smiled and said, "Thank you."
He Qiaoyun picked up her chopsticks and said while picking up some food, "Since we've run into each other, let's eat together."
She actually felt awkward too, but since Feng Jiashu wasn't leaving, it wasn't appropriate to shoo him away...
Liu Biao wasn't very good at eating spicy food either. After eating a piece of spicy blood curd, he silently started pouring lemon tea.
Three people who can't handle spicy food got together, but the spiciness kept them from speaking, so they just silently drank lemon tea.
Once they recovered, none of the three touched their chopsticks again.
Holding a lemon tea, Liu Biao suddenly asked, "Qiaoyun, how did you meet this Mr. Feng?"
He Qiaoyun put down her cup and said, "Last year, Feng Jiashu brought his niece to our village. His niece went to play at the reservoir over there and accidentally fell into the water. I happened to see her and pulled her out of the water."
Liu Biao raised an eyebrow. "Then you're still his niece's savior."
Feng Jiashu nodded, "Yes."
Liu Biao glanced at him with disdain, then turned to He Qiaoyun and said, "The reservoir is that one, the one with the green grass, right? I remember I used to go fishing there."
He Qiaoyun: "Yes, that's it."
Liu Biao immediately became interested. "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been there. I've heard that people like to camp and barbecue these days. Can you do that over there?"
He Qiaoyun shook her head. "It seems like no one's going to do it. If you want to go camping overnight, you'll have to ask the village secretary and get the village's permission. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if something went wrong."
Liu Biao clicked his tongue and said, "That's too much trouble. I'll go fishing in a couple of days and stay at your place for one night."
He Qiaoyun thought he was just joking and didn't think much of it, so she agreed, "No problem."
Liu Biao raised his chin and said with a satisfied look, "Okay, it's settled then. I'll pick up all my fishing gear later."
These words immediately alarmed Feng Jiashu, and his brows furrowed. How could they, a lone man and a woman, stay together so late at night...?
He tried to interrupt Liu Biao's fishing idea, saying, "That area is a reservoir; there are no fish to catch there."
Liu Biao clicked his tongue, turned to look at him, and said in a somewhat impatient tone, "Qiaoyun, tell him whether there are any fish in that reservoir."
He Qiaoyun looked embarrassed. "I... I'm not really sure either."
Although Liu Biao was not entirely satisfied with the answer, he still insisted on going. "Whether there are fish or not, I'll just go and see for myself. Besides, I haven't been there in a long time. I'll treat it as a vacation, right, Qiaoyun?"
He Qiaoyun nodded. "Yes, I'll be in the village's orchard for the next two weeks. Let me know on WeChat when you're coming."
Liu Biao then smiled again, "Then it's settled. By the way, how's your orchard? I heard you also grow grapes."
He Qiaoyun: "Yes, I planted it two or three years ago because of the trend. At that time, I didn't have enough savings, so I took out a loan from the bank to build a greenhouse to grow it."
Liu Biao looked regretful. If he had been there back then, he definitely could have lent her the money to get it done. He then asked, "Now, has she paid back the money?"
He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "We robbed Peter to pay Paul. Fortunately, the small supermarket and the longan and lychee sold quite a bit of money. In addition, the market demand for grapes was high and there was little competition in the first year, so the harvest was also good. We paid off the debt last year."
Liu Biao: "That's good."
The two chatted happily, almost completely ignoring Feng Jiashu.
Feng Jiashu was both anxious and helpless, unable to get a word in edgewise.
Gradually, the two ate and chatted, talking about this and that. Perhaps their taste buds were numb from the spiciness, and the dishes on the table were slowly finished.
After eating for nearly an hour, Feng Jiashu finally hung up the phone for the third time, and then his phone rang again.
Liu Biao had been watching him for a long time, and said indifferently, "Your phone keeps ringing. If it's urgent, go ahead and take care of it."
Seeing that the food on the table was all gone, He Qiaoyun came to Feng Jiashu's rescue, saying, "We've almost finished eating, let's go."
Liu Biao replied "Okay," then waved to the waiter and said, "Check, please."
The waiter pulled out the bill and smiled, "The total is four hundred and fifty-three. How would you like to pay?"
In an instant, the three of them pulled out their phones and said in unison, "WeChat."
The waiter paused for a moment, "Excuse me...?"
He Qiaoyun said, "It was agreed that I would treat you."
Liu Biao waved his hand, "It's just one meal, I'll pay."
Feng Jiashu smiled faintly, "Let me do it."
The three of them argued over the bill for a long time, but Liu Biao was quick and paid the bill in the end. "It's just one meal, and they still tried to take it from me."
He Qiaoyun sighed helplessly, "Fine, we couldn't invite him."
Liu Biao laughed, "Then please come back next time. There will be plenty of time in the future."
He Qiaoyun sighed and said, "Fine, I'll go to the restroom."
After she left, the two men exchanged a glance, neither of them liking the other.
All the attention today fell on Liu Biao, leaving Feng Jiashu both angry and helpless.
Liu Biao noticed that He Qiaoyun was taking extra care of Feng Jiashu today. The two of them were having a nice chat alone when a third wheel appeared. He was angry about it, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The two, who were originally sitting upright, both crossed their legs when they were alone with each other.
Feng Jiashu glanced at the car keys Liu Biao had casually placed on the table and asked, "What kind of business does Mr. Liu run?"
Liu Biao shrugged. "He's just a rent collector, he doesn't even have a main business yet. What about Mr. Feng?"
Feng Jiashu smiled faintly and said, "Office worker."
Liu Biao: "Oh ho, what kind of position is that?"
Feng Jiashu said very modestly, "Management."
Liu Biao was even more dismissive, looking up at him and saying, "Let me put it this way, Qiaoyun and I have been best friends for decades, and you are nowhere near as important to her as I am!"
Feng Jiashu showed no reaction to his warning, instead smiling faintly and saying, "Well, friend, that's good."
Although Liu Biao was a rough man, he had been around for many years and could read people to some extent. He immediately saw through Feng Jiashu's provocative smile, frowned, and said, word by word, "Feng Jiashu, I don't care why you approached her, stay away from her, understand?"
Finally, he added a warning: "If I ever see you chasing after her again, you'll be sorry!"
Feng Jiashu raised an eyebrow, as if trying to get information out of her, "Why not? Whether I can be friends with Qiaoyun depends on Qiaoyun's wishes, not on your meddling as a third party."
Seeing his lukewarm response, Liu Biao was furious. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and pointed at the man's head, "Hey, you..."
