Chapter 3451: Joining the Game

Xu Xian finally had to solve the problem from the side, because these women could no longer communicate effectively.

She went directly to the store owner and the waiter, and relying on her popularity, she barely made up a plausible excuse.

According to Xu Xian, they played a little game: everyone took turns ordering dishes, and the one who called the stop had to pay for everyone!

A game that didn't sound normal, Xu Xian didn't know whether the other party would believe it, and how they would look at them.

But she really couldn't take care of so many things now, and being able to give a reason was already her quick wit.

Xu Xian just wanted to stop the stupid behavior of the girls at this moment, even if she was misunderstood for this, she thought it was relatively worthwhile.

Fortunately, the store owner didn't seem to think much about it, but simply thought that the artists were very interesting, and they could make such a big scene just for a meal.

While agreeing to cooperate, the store owner also raised a new question: At whose order, they went in and said that there were no side dishes?

This is indeed a certain pressure, because they decided that the girl would pay, and it would be better for Xu Xian to give an answer to this kind of thing.

Xu Xian couldn't help but feel a headache after hearing this. Did they think too much? Just say whatever you want when you go in. Xu Xian will take care of everything!

The effect of communication was quite clear. Soon the store owner brought "unfortunate news": "Sorry, the side dishes prepared by the store may not be enough, otherwise you..."

The store owner deliberately paused, as a subtle reminder to the girls. They should also realize that the game can be over.

It stands to reason that both parties should have a tacit understanding, but the next reaction of these women caught the store owner off guard.

"No more? Then change another dish. This one is also gone?"

"How can you have nothing in such a big store? Aren't you worried that we can't pay?"

"I have reason to suspect that you are targeting us. Did someone say something to you in private?"

The girls put pressure on the store owner while constantly looking at Li Menglong. The object of suspicion was extremely obvious.

They thought that Li Menglong had given in, but they were embarrassed to tell them, so they could only sneak to the store owner.

But they obviously found the wrong person, Xu Xian was visibly nervous.

She was not afraid that the store owner would give her away, she was doing it for the good of these women, she had a clear conscience.

She was afraid that the store owner would say nothing, wouldn't that just exacerbate the misunderstanding?

And from her point of view, the store owner must be very upset at the moment, he obviously came to cooperate with the performance, but these women didn't play by the rules?

Fortunately, the girls still had basic self-restraint, and at most they spoke in a sarcastic tone, not to the point of being bossy.

So the matter could still be remedied, and Xu Xian thought the best result was that Li Menglong admitted everything.

He shouldn't make trouble here anymore, the girls had already learned a lesson, maybe they knew everything, but just couldn't admit it.

Besides, they had ordered so many dishes, even if they could take them away, how long did he want to eat the leftovers? For a whole month?

With Xu Xian's gaze, Li Menglong finally restrained himself. This was not because he was afraid of Xu Xian's pressure, but simply to give Xu Xian some face.

"Ahem, I also opened a restaurant, and we are half in the same industry." Li Menglong took the initiative to get closer to the store owner: "It's not easy to open a store, and any special situation may happen. I'm bothering you today. See if there are any dishes that can be returned before, so that you can't do business."

Li Menglong not only solved the crisis in front of him, but also made a certain degree of closure of the previous problems.

However, he didn't mean to bully others. What dishes can be returned depends on what has been done in the kitchen, and factors such as human relations and worldly affairs must also be considered.

So Li Menglong called Xu Xian's name: "Xiao Xian, follow me out and take a look, don't let others suffer losses, it's not easy to open a store."

Li Menglong empathized more and more as he spoke, but was he too involved?

He opened a restaurant seriously, and it was not small in scale. What did he do at that time?

To put it nicely, it's called opening a store, but in fact, it's just helping the boss lady. Can this be the same thing?

It's like someone told the girls that they were idols who debuted at the same time, so he can empathize with all the pain the girls experienced.

This is obviously nonsense. Maybe when they just debuted, everyone was a newcomer and everything they experienced was also common to varying degrees.

But as the girls became popular and sat firmly in the position of the first girl group, what could the other party empathize with? Have they ever been the first in the industry?

Fortunately, the store owner was not as cynical as the girls. The other party always thought that they were here to participate in the game interaction, so they still felt very fresh.

As for the girls and even Li Menglong's unconventional behavior, it was understood by the store owner as the ability to adapt to changes. It seems that it is not easy for artists to shoot variety shows. At least as an ordinary person, he can't keep up with the pace at all.

While the store owner was thinking, Xu Xian also looked at Li Menglong, nodded slightly, and immediately followed.

She probably understood what Li Menglong meant, which was simply to take the store owner's feelings into consideration and not be so stubborn as to return all the dishes.

Maybe because of their status as artists, the store will take the initiative to make such a request, but it is better not to agree.

After all, they were the first to "make a mistake", so they have to bear some costs, such as eating leftovers for several days in a row?

If this standard is followed, then Xu Xian will be much easier to deal with. As for the specific amount, it will all be left to Xu Xian. I believe she will give a perfect answer.

However, unlike Xu Xian's hard work, the girls look much more relaxed. They don't realize that they have avoided a crisis that may last for weeks.

They even have the mind to continue teasing Li Menglong. After all, in their eyes, Li Menglong was the first to admit defeat, and they won the interaction!

"Don't be so arrogant in front of us in the future, you don't deserve it!"

"Don't think that what happened before is over. The gift must be made up, and it must be more expensive!"

"You don't have to answer, we don't believe you, just look at your actions, think about it carefully."

The girls' consecutive remarks are very dangerous. If Li Menglong is a little timid, he might really be scared by them.

As for him now, gifts? What gifts? Why did he buy gifts for these women?

Being able to take out that money before was already impulsive, but he couldn't fall in the same place twice. He had to learn from the previous lessons.

So he didn't have the urge to talk now. There are so many dishes on the table. If you don't eat it, it will be cold. What a waste?

As for Li Menglong's little thoughts, the girls didn't say it clearly, but they could guess roughly.

He thought that responding with silence would make them helpless?

Naive! After getting along for so long, why did Li Menglong still have such naive ideas?

It's not that difficult to force him. You can even just say two sentences: "Is there anyone who wants to treat us today? If no one takes the initiative, then we'll split the bill. We only accept cash!"

Although Jin Taeyeon said this to the other girls, her eyes were fixed on Li Menglong. Would he dare to continue eating?

In fact, Li Menglong really stopped. If possible, he wanted to spit out the food in his mouth.

On weekdays, it would be fine if everyone shared equally. Li Menglong could barely consider it.

But today's situation is obviously far beyond his tolerance. He is really not worthy of sitting and eating with these women. Otherwise, he will leave first?

"How can that be? Your job is to protect us. What if a gangster breaks in?"

The girls used a hypothesis to retain Li Menglong, but what kind of gangster is so blind that he dares to come in and tease them?

The gangster came in with a grin, and he might run out with a bloody head in the end, and even yelled for his companions to call the police. He encountered a female gangster!

However, both sides are just assuming that before it really happens, we can only say that the girls have more evidence, because Li Menglong is earning this money.

So when he doesn't want to pay, he can only sit here and watch them feasting. The scene was quite cruel for a while.

But the girls don't think so. This is the punishment that Li Menglong deserves!

Besides, they can't do this all the time. Jokes must be relaxed and moderate. Blindly being strong will only cause Li Menglong's disgust.

They are very experienced in this regard, otherwise why can Li Menglong tolerate them for so long?

As for where the so-called "relaxation" comes from, it depends on when Xu Xian comes back.

The little girl will never watch such a situation happen. This is simply workplace bullying.

At the same time, they are also secretly looking forward to how Xu Xian will break the situation. Will she pay extra money to pay for Li Menglong's share, or will she educate them righteously at the table?

The process of waiting for Xu Xian was still a bit long. Of course, this was mainly from Li Menglong's perspective. For the girls, it was just a half-bowl of rice.

When seeing Xu Xian push the door open, Li Menglong almost cried: "Why did you take so long? Don't you know I'm waiting for you?"

With Li Menglong's "confession", Xu Xian was stunned. What's going on? Is it a prank?

But looking at the girls' surprised and disgusted expressions, Xu Xian felt that it shouldn't be, so this is all Li Menglong's personal behavior?

Li Menglong doesn't care so much, he is now waiting for Xu Xian to do justice for himself!

In fact, the girls just guessed the result correctly. Xu Xian will indeed come forward to help, but it's not her sense of justice, but Li Menglong shamelessly forced to ask Xu Xian for help.

Speaking of which, they also admire Li Menglong's thick skin. Doesn't he want to be a little more manly in front of Xu Xian?

For this question, Li Menglong can still answer, he really didn't think so.

The so-called manliness is nothing more than being more powerful and perfect, and then gaining Xu Xian's favor.

But he and Xu Xian have a very close relationship. If he continues to manage his image, is he trying to get a better result?

So Li Menglong is more like a man without desires. He has no further thoughts about Xu Xian, so he can naturally let himself go.

After listening to Li Menglong's one-sided words, Xu Xian couldn't help rubbing her forehead. She just went out not long ago, how could they quarrel again?

"If there's a problem, solve it. What's the point of not letting him eat? Starving him to death won't do you any good, right?"

Xu Xian looked at the girls around her and said seriously. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to get involved in these people's childish games.

So in Xu Xian's opinion, all the girls need to do is relax a little and the matter will be over.

But the girls didn’t see it that way. Their reasons were legitimate enough: “Who didn’t let him eat? He didn’t want to pay for it himself. Who is to blame?”

Facing the girls' explanations, Xu Xian couldn't help but muttered: "Isn't this just to prevent him from eating..."

Xu Xian now understood everything that happened, and she had to come up with a solution. However, she did not go along with the girls' guesses and came up with her own solution.

Xu Xian didn't say anything. He picked up the nearest plate and took a mouthful of it without any trace of image: "This is too salty and not delicious. Oppa, please throw it away for me."

Xu Xian handed the plate to Li Menglong naturally. As for throwing it away, it didn't necessarily have to be thrown into the trash can, or Li Menglong's belly could also be the trash can.

In short, Li Menglong finally gained the right to eat with the girls by picking up Xu Xian's "leftovers".

Although Xu Xian's method was a bit too tricky, the girls did not continue to cause trouble. Otherwise, how would it end?

With so many dishes, they didn't know what they would do without Li Menglong as a foodie. If they really wanted to throw them all away, they wouldn't have the guts.

As a result, the guests and hosts enjoyed the meal, especially Xu Xian who took a huge advantage. He only paid for himself, but ate more than everyone else put together.

Sure enough, there is still something to be said for being the maknae, but the girls can turn a blind eye, but can Li Menglong stop provoking them all the time?

They were all eating together, but he was the only one here burping non-stop. Did he think that he could live up to Xu Xian's hospitality in this way?

If he refuses to admit this accusation, the consequences will be even more serious, because he is provoking. Let him choose a crime to admit to!

Li Menglong didn't want to talk to them. Surely this gave him a choice? It's just two ways to die, see which one is less painful.

This does not mean that they are benevolent. Li Menglong still wants to live for a long time and finally send them away one by one. When the time comes, can he compete for their inheritance? He thinks he has the qualifications!
