Chapter 201: The Usual?
It was quite apparent that the owner of the restaurant was surprised to see Ning Meng . However, after seeing Huo Beichen’s frowning face, she quickly forced a calm demeanor . “… Ah, you’ve brought a friend, I see? Will the usual seat do?”

Ning Meng was no idiot . She had seen the look on the lady’s face earlier . However, she could not bring herself to ask what was wrong . She slowly followed Huo Beichen to his “usual seat”—a table next to a window .
It was a two-person table which was quite clean with not even a flick of dust on it . As they were seated, the restaurant owner presented them with the menu and shipped out her memo pad .
“So… the usual?”
Hearing this, Ning Meng closed the menu in her hands and looked at Huo Beichen .
From the looks of it, Huo Beichen was a frequent customer of the restaurant .
She thought that he would reply with a cold “yes”, but instead, he looked at her and said, “Take a browse . Just order whatever you want . ”
His eyes were dark and gloomy, like a pair of black holes . It seemed as though there was some kind of dark painful past buried in those eyes . Ning Meng could not help but feel anxious after looking at them .

She opened the menu again and browsed through quickly . The restaurant was indeed famous for its Pickled Fish Fillet, however, that was not the only thing on their menu . A moment later, she ordered a set of Pickled Fish Fillet, Spicy Shredded Potato, and Stir-fried Green Spinach .
Then, the restaurant owner gave them a strange look before responding with a smile . “Ah, the usual then . ”
After the restaurant owner had walked into the kitchen, Ning Meng turned toward Huo Beichen and asked, “So, you frequent this place a lot? And you’ve always ordered these dishes too?”
Huo Beichen nodded with a woeful face .
Then, they looked at one another for quite some time, not saying a word .
Feeling bored, Ning Meng took out her phone and started to browse Weibo .
It was quite a huge hand they had showed earlier in the day . The internet had done a complete 180 and was taking a huge piss on Liu Ying . The other three trainees were also getting harassed so much that they had cleaned every post on their Weibo page .

Meanwhile, Li Shiyao had gained a few hundred thousand followers because of her courageous act for justice .
As Ning Meng was reading the Weibo posts, a message from the “My Boss Is So Dashing Today” group popped up .
Qi Shan: [What are you eating tonight, guys? S Club’s pale menu is hurting my taste buds every single day!]
Coincidentally, the Pickled Fish Fillet was brought up to the table right at that moment . The mouth-watering scent of the fish fillet fumed straight into Ning Meng’s nose . The white well-cooked meat of the fish was beckoning her to devour it right away!
Huo Beichen was quite good at picking the right place to bring her to . This was indeed one of the best Pickled Fish Fillet in town!
Before picking up her chopsticks, Ning Meng quickly snapped a picture of the dish and sent it to the Group . Then, she picked some of the fish meat up with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth .
Hmm~~!! The taste was so good that she could moan in bliss!

As she was savoring the taste of her Pickled Fish Fillet, a message brightened up her phone’s screen .
Qi Shan: [Wut?! Is that my boss’s hand I saw in the picture? He brought you to eat Pickled Fish Fillet?!]
Ning Meng: [?]
Qi Shan: [Boss would usually go to have Pickled Fish Fillet at one of his favorite secret restaurants every week . I once begged him to bring me with him but he straight out declined, and yet, he brought you there with him! Sobs . My boss doesn’t love me no moar . jpg]
Upon seeing this, Ning Meng was stunned .
Raising her head, she saw her husband looking at the table, seemingly deep in his thoughts . He looked so lonely and sad .
After a short pause, Ning Meng took a piece of fish fillet and put it in his bowl . “Lord Chen, come on . Start chowing!”
The man then took a long look at the fish fillet before picking up his chopsticks .
As Ning Meng began to savor her tasty dish again, a message came in .
Zhen Shanmei: [I saw many deliverymen working really hard to deliver food to various homes, I felt so moved . I have decided . I am not going to let the recent events beat me . ]
Ning Meng replied instinctively: [Yeah . The deliverymen are working hard to deliver food right now, how could you go on a diet at this moment, right?]
Zhen Shanmei: [??]
