Before long, Mr. Faxun and his group arrived at the restaurant.
Mr. Faxun, having brought Xiao and the Xiao Jiahuo to eat here before, was considered a regular patron of this establishment.
He skillfully ordered the snacks the Little Cuties loved.
Qiqi's favorite coconut milk, Ningguang's beloved Mora, Keqing's preferred golden shrimp balls...
Afterward, Mr. Faxun handed the menu to Hu Tao and Venti.
"The food here tastes good. Just order whatever you like."
Hutao took the menu and ordered a boiled Fish.
It was clear that she truly enjoyed eating Fish.
At this moment, Venti said with a look of profound sorrow, "Mr. Faxun, most of the dishes you ordered are meat dishes. There's not a single bit of green, which is too unhealthy."
As his words fell, Mr. Faxun instinctively raised an eyebrow.
Just as Venti said, the dishes he ordered indeed had no vegetables, which was a bit problematic.
He really hadn't noticed.
It was uncommon for Venti, who usually did nothing serious, to be so meticulous today.
Just as Mr. Faxun's opinion of Venti was slightly improving,
Venti raised his hand and said to the boss, "Please bring two bottles of wine!"
"That way, there will be green on the table."
"Mr. Faxun, am I doing it right?"
Venti, that sly one,
was not good at anything,
except for spouting nonsense with a straight face.
He could make getting a drink sound like a grand occasion.
"Makoto Gege, don't drink alcohol. Drinking is bad."
At this moment, Ningguang tugged at Mr. Faxun's arm, her eyes full of worry.
Ayaka also pouted, her large eyes staring directly at Mr. Faxun,
"Makoto Gege, Ayaka doesn't want you to drink."
Shen He, however, looked eager: "If Makoto Gege gets drunk, Shen He can carry Makoto Gege back."
Perhaps because they often saw Venti drunk, the Little Ones all hoped Mr. Faxun wouldn't drink.
Hu Tao hummed softly, her plum blossom-like eyes fixed on Mr. Faxun.
"Makoto Gege, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is nearby. If you drink too much, you can go there to rest."
"Although I really want customers, I don't want your business, oh."
"So, please take care of yourselves~"
Qiqi, Beidou, and Sara sat opposite Venti, preventing him from trying to get Mr. Faxun to drink.
Looking at the Little Cuties' concerned expressions, Mr. Faxun chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't drink."
"If I drink too much, no one will be able to take care of Venti."
"Besides, since I promised you I wouldn't drink, I will definitely keep my word."
Hearing that Mr. Faxun wouldn't drink, the Little Cuties finally relaxed.
Soon, steaming hot supper was served.
Looking at the table full of supper, Hutao was incredibly tempted.
Seeing Hu Tao's adorable expression, Mr. Faxun chuckled and said, "Eat, eat, eat and drink to your heart's content."
As his words fell, Hutao said, "Let's eat!" and then picked up a piece of Fish to taste.
"So good!" Hutao said indistinctly, her expression filled with surprise.
Venti picked up a bottle of wine and gulped it down like water.
Mr. Faxun was busy taking care of the Xiao Jiahuo.
From time to time, he would pick up a tissue to wipe oil from Ayaka's mouth, or help Ningguang tie her hair.
Qiqi, sitting on a chair, looked down. She was searching for Taroumaru but hadn't found the dog's figure.
Qiqi looked up, saying with a dazed expression, "Makoto... Taroumaru is gone..."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Faxun immediately guessed that Taroumaru had run out because he was afraid of Qiqi feeding him.
After all, Qiqi was too enthusiastic.
"I'll go out and look for him. You all eat first."
After speaking, Mr. Faxun walked out of the restaurant to look for Taroumaru.
"Taroumaru..."
Mr. Faxun called out towards the street.
There was no response.
Mr. Faxun continued, "Taroumaru, Qiqi didn't come out with me."
As his words fell, Taroumaru, who was hiding under a tree, hesitantly came out.
He relaxed when he saw only Mr. Faxun, and then let out a low whimper towards Mr. Faxun, looking incredibly wronged.
Mr. Faxun squatted down and petted Taroumaru's head.
"You're traumatized by Qiqi, aren't you? Actually, Qiqi just thinks you haven't eaten enough; her intentions are good."
"Don't worry, I'll talk to Qiqi later and tell her not to bully you."
Hearing Mr. Faxun say this, Taroumaru finally relaxed and wagged his tail gently.
Just then, Mr. Faxun noticed the sound of footsteps running from a distance.
He instinctively looked up and saw Yun Jin and a middle-aged woman, who was likely also a member of the opera troupe.
At this moment, the two of them looked like they were on a night run.
It wasn't hard to understand why Yun Jin would be running at night.
She had been learning opera since childhood, and to perform on stage, she had to maintain strict control over her figure.
Just then, Mr. Faxun heard Yun Jin earnestly shouting slogans.
"Strengthen the body, persevere to the end, never retreat... Dry-pot preserved meat."
Little Yunjin suddenly stopped when she passed the restaurant.
She stared intently at the dry-pot preserved meat inside the shop, her eyes clearly saying two words: wanted to eat.
