Chapter 1570 - One Lie After Another (41)

The waitstaff outside was stunned.

The three girls were even more dumbstruck and felt so much regret that they felt like vomiting blood. If they were the ones who had gone in themselves, wouldn't the handsome boy inside be theirs right now?

Mu Xiaoxiao raised a hand and called out to the waitstaff, "Waitstaff, bring an extra set of cutlery here, as well as all the dishes I ordered before."

The waitstaff took quite a while to react before providing a new set of cutlery for her.

The door closed, putting an end to the curious gazes of the others.

It was only then that Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at the handsome boy.

She had to say that handsome people were a feast for the eyes.

She displayed a generosity befitting the occasion and said to him, "Don't mistake me for some infatuated girl. I just didn't feel like eating hotpot alone and wanted a companion when I heard that you were alone as well."

The handsome boy nodded and smiled lightly. "I can tell."

"You can tell?" Mu Xiaoxiao did not quite understand.

The handsome boy pointed to her eyes and said, "You're looking at me normally."

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled. "Do others gaze at you abnormally?"

The handsome boy's smile seemed to deepen a little. He did not explain himself, but raised his glass instead. He said to her, "Thank you for eating hotpot with me today. I didn't want to be alone today either."

Mu Xiaoxiao raised her pickled plum juice and clinked her glass against his. "This is fate."

The handsome boy was unexpectedly unreserved and downed the entire glass in one shot.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him, flabbergasted, and looked back at the glass of pickled plum juice in her hand. "Um… I don't have to finish it in one shot too, right?"

The handsome boy laughed. "Do as you please."

Mu Xiaoxiao thought about it and drank it in one shot just like he did.

The handsome boy looked askance at her and asked out of the blue, "You don't look like a university student. You're not a student from the university town here, right?"

"Oh? I don't look like one?" Since he was a stranger, she would not expose her situation to him.

The handsome boy said, "I know all the school beauties near the university town and you're not one of them."

Mu Xiaoxiao did not expect such a reply from him and could not help but laugh.

"How can I be a school beauty? Do you treat every girl like this, saying such sweet words upon acquaintance?"

The handsome boy shook his head and burst out laughing. "Actually, I hate saying sweet nothings. You're so beautiful that you'll be classified as a school beauty whichever school you go to, unless everyone is blind."

Mu Xiaoxiao cupped her chin and looked into his eyes. She realized that he was not a playboy like Feng Shengyang. He had a naturalness to his expressions and speech.

"Why do you hate saying them?" she asked him curiously. She suspected there was some underlying meaning to his words.

The handsome boy looked at her.

Just then, the waitstaff knocked on the door and entered with a pushcart.

"Miss, here is what you ordered," the waitstaff said while placing plates of food on the table one by one. The table filled up quickly.

The handsome boy looked at the stuff she had ordered. It was quite a lot.

"Can you finish everything by yourself?" he asked.

Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged. "I don't know. I don't think so. I'm not feeling very happy, so I just ordered whatever I wanted to eat."

"Why are you unhappy?" he asked bluntly.

Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to think as she grasped her chopsticks in her hands.

The handsome boy said, "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. Come on, eat. What do you want to eat? I'll put it in for you."
