Chapter 578 : Little Beauty, Guess Who I Am
"Barbecue, oh barbecue, it's almost my turn~"
Li Meng watched the seat number displayed on the electronic screen. Only three more people to go before it was her turn. To eat at this place, she had rushed over right after class. If she had been a bit slower, she might have had to wait even longer in line.
In this regard, she felt quite foresighted.
As Li Meng hummed a little tune while waiting in line, Ling Ning and Li Qian arrived at the entrance of the restaurant.
Seeing the people queuing at the door, Ling Ning blinked in surprise. There were far too many people. If they were to eat here, who knows how long they'd have to wait.
Li Qian also felt a bit dazed. She instinctively reached out to tug at Ling Ning's hand and said, "Why don't we eat somewhere else? There are too many people here, and it might get colder later."
Just as Ling Ning was about to say something, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure among the queuing crowd. Judging by her appearance, she clearly hadn't noticed them yet.
Ling Ning pointed at Li Meng sitting there and said, "Look who that is."
Li Qian looked in the direction Ling Ning was pointing, confused at first, then spotted her sister sitting there. She finally understood why her sister had rushed off right after class – she had come here to queue up.
Ling Ning's lips curled into a faint smile as she tiptoed towards Li Meng. She covered Li Meng's eyes with her hands and said in a deep voice, "Little beauty, guess who I am?"
The sudden attack startled the previously relaxed Li Meng, but she quickly caught a whiff of a familiar light fragrance. This familiar scent immediately told Li Meng who her attacker was.
"Ling Ning, stop fooling around."
"Eh!? How did you know it was me!?"
Ling Ning released her hands from Li Meng's eyes, bewildered. She thought she had controlled her voice perfectly. It always ended up like this—people always saw through her, and she never knew where the problem lay. How frustrating!
Li Meng turned her head to look at Ling Ning and asked, "Ling Ning, why are you here?"
"Oh, I came with your sister to eat barbecue."
"My sister!?"
Hearing Ling Ning's words, Li Meng instinctively looked around and found her sister standing beside her, silently watching.
"Tch, why are you here?" Li Meng said, somewhat annoyed.
"Tch, why can't I be here?" Li Qian retorted in kind.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Ling Ning quickly intervened, "Don't make a scene in public. It's perfect that Xiao Meng Meng is already in line, so we can just join her~"
"Hmph, you should thank me~"
"Hmph, who wants to thank you?"
The twins' bickering attracted quite a bit of attention. After all, they looked so alike that it was impossible to tell them apart. Add to that Ling Ning's stunning beauty, and it was hard not to draw attention.
As the sisters were squabbling, a call for their number suddenly came from the entrance. It was Li Meng's turn.
The three followed the waiter into the restaurant. As soon as they entered, they were enveloped by various tantalizing aromas. Ling Ning, already feeling a bit hungry, couldn't help but swallow involuntarily.
"Order whatever you want, I'm treating~" Li Qian said somewhat reluctantly. If it had been just Ling Ning, it would have been fine, but she hadn't expected her sister to be here too. What could she say?
Li Meng hadn't expected her sister to be treating them. She immediately grabbed the menu and started looking for something both expensive and delicious.
Li Qian didn't stop her sister's actions, but calmly said, "Whoever orders something and doesn't finish it, I'll definitely stuff it in their mouth. Don't doubt my words."
Hearing Li Qian's words, both Ling Ning and Li Meng, who were looking at the menu, shuddered involuntarily. They both started mentally calculating their appetites.
After ordering, Ling Ning curiously asked Li Meng, "Xiao Meng Meng, why did you suddenly come here today?"
"I saw reviews of this barbecue restaurant online. They said it was super great, so I wanted to try it. It's not that expensive anyway," Li Meng said cheerfully.
The thought of not having to pay for this dinner made her even happier.
Li Qian said with some annoyance, "Aren't you afraid of getting fat?"
"Sister, don't you understand my weight? Rather than worrying about me, you should worry about yourself. If I remember correctly, you weighed a tiny bit more than me this month~"
"...Tch~"
"Do you two still worry about weight? I don't feel any pressure at all~" Ling Ning said calmly.
Is it her fault that she doesn't get fat no matter what she eats? Is it her fault that she doesn't tan no matter how much sun she gets?
"Shut up!" the twin sisters said in unison.
They expressed that they didn't want to talk to someone like Ling Ning who doesn't get fat or tan. Why did one person have all the physical traits girls envied? And this person was exceptionally beautiful too. But never mind, if a boy had this kind of physique, they would definitely want to hit him.
Chu Feng, who was eating dinner at home, suddenly felt a chill down his spine and involuntarily shuddered, feeling as if he had been caught in the crossfire for no reason.
"By the way, are you two not fighting in the dorm anymore?"
"Fighting? That doesn't happen."
"Is that so? That's good then. I always thought there was nothing you two sisters couldn't talk out. There's no need to bicker all the time, right?" Ling Ning said with a sigh.
The sisters exchanged a silent glance, then tactfully averted their gazes. In the dorm, they just tried to pretend the other didn't exist.
But come to think of it, after living together for a while, their relationship had indeed improved quite a bit compared to before. At least they wouldn't start fighting every time they got annoyed with each other.
As they were chatting, their orders arrived.
Looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, Ling Ning felt her mouth watering. The online reviews were indeed somewhat truthful.
"Alright, let's start eating. I'm about to starve to death."
"Mm."
