Chapter 533 - 526 Gifts Bestowed upon Others
If it weren’t because of Xinghe, Gao Yuan would have guaranteed he could scare Justin off with his eating in one go, but the problem was Gao Yuan felt that since Xinghe had talked so much, putting down Justin so much, it wouldn’t look good for him to wolf down his food now.
The Shenzhou People do have the custom of not airing their dirty laundry in public, and Gao Yuan didn’t think his hearty appetite was something to be ashamed of, but while he could accept eating unrestrainedly in front of Ram and the others, in front of a show-off like Justin, well, he had to keep up appearances.
So Gao Yuan’s meal was quite stifled, quite awkward.
But what was maddening was that Xinghe cursed and made a fuss, but in the end, he ate more than anyone, especially when the ice cream and pudding, these post-dinner desserts, were served at just the right time—Xinghe went all out without a care for his image, sticking to his principle of "criticize but still eat," not letting one affect the other.

After declining Justin’s offer to send them back, the three of them had to walk home. Not far from Justin’s house, Gao Yuan said, "I need to head to headquarters now, I have too many things to handle. You two should head back and rest. Do you need me to accompany you?"
"No, no need, we’ll reach shortly. What’s there to send off for?"
