A few people ultimately did not return to the hotel. On their way back, they spotted a nice music restaurant.
Upon entering, the six of them discovered it was a French establishment.
The restaurant was quite crowded. In the center, a piano sat, and a young girl was playing a beautiful melody.
Guo Xuyang didn't know the name of the piece, but it sounded lovely.
"Xiao Lu, go see what their signature dishes are and order something," Guo Xuyang instructed.
"Mr. Liu, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to go?"
"It's fine. Go ahead. Or perhaps Sun Yue can accompany you. She'll know what kind of food you girls like."
"Sir, how many people are in your party?" a pleasant-looking waitress asked.
She spoke in French, and Guo Xuyang didn't understand.
"Six," Xu Xiaoyu replied.
He was surprised that Xiao Yu's French was so fluent.
"What would you like to order?" the waitress asked, handing them the menu.
"One Golden Prawns, one Green Pepper Beef, one Bacon Chicken Rolls;
Four White Chocolate Cream Puddings, six Sirloin Steaks with Red Wine Sauce;
And a Fresh Fruit Seafood Salad, and a Cream of Mushroom Soup."
As Xu Xiaoyu spoke, she glanced at the others. "How would you like your steaks cooked?"
"Well done," Li Minyu said quickly.
"Medium-well," Sun Yue and Wu Shuchen said.
"Medium-rare," Xiao Lu also chimed in.
"Well done. I can't handle any blood." Guo Xuyang added.
"One steak medium-rare, three medium-well, and two well done."
Xu Xiaoyu told the waitress, handing her the menu.
"Certainly, please wait a moment," the young woman said before leaving.
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Xu Xiaoyu asked, noticing everyone staring.
"What did you order?" Xiao Lu inquired.
"Golden Prawns, Green Pepper Beef, Bacon Chicken Rolls, White Chocolate Cream Puddings;
Sirloin Steaks with Red Wine Sauce, Fresh Fruit Seafood Salad, and Cream of Mushroom Soup. What's wrong?" Xu Xiaoyu replied.
"Nothing. I was just worried you might not have ordered enough." Xiao Lu smiled.
"I'm sorry for ordering so much without asking your opinions first.
If it's not enough, we can order more later. Ordering too much and not finishing it would just be a waste."
"It's fine. I noticed your French is quite fluent," Guo Xuyang commented.
"That's because my family was strict with my upbringing, and I started learning these languages from a young age."
"These languages? What other languages do you know?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"English goes without saying. I've also studied Japanese, Korean, Arabic, French, German, and Russian.
However, it's only enough for simple communication; I wouldn't be able to pursue academic work in them," Xu Xiaoyu said with a shy smile.
"My goodness! You're a total scholar." Guo Xuyang was genuinely astonished.
He hadn't expected this girl to be so capable. She was a hidden gem.
"How could your family bear to let you study abroad alone?"
"I've grown up, so I have to go out on my own. Am I supposed to have my family with me forever?"
"That's not what I meant. It's just that with you being so beautiful and intelligent, aren't you afraid someone might abduct you?"
"You just said I'm smart, so of course, I won't be easily abducted."
"I find my IQ always drops when I chat with you," Guo Xuyang remarked.
"That's because you're always thinking of abducting me."
Xu Xiaoyu's remark made everyone laugh.
Li Minyu, unaware of the context, asked Sun Yue for an explanation.
"Mr. Liu tried to hit on Xiao Yu in the bar and wanted to take her to bed, but she rejected him," Sun Yue said, chuckling.
"That incident is in the past, can we please not bring it up again?" Guo Xuyang was a bit embarrassed.
"You're not married and she's not married, why can't it be mentioned? Love between a man and a woman is very normal." Li Minyu said.
"Sister-in-law, you should say a bit less. I'm not worthy of Xiao Yu at all," Guo Xuyang said.
"Sister-in-law, as you heard in the car, he's the matchmaker for my uncle.
Given his relationship with my uncle, how could it be possible for us?"
Xu Xiaoyu was also worried about Li Minyu making unfounded assumptions.
"I think you two seem to have a connection.
No one can easily stop matters of the heart.
Besides, his relationship with your uncle isn't that close," Li Minyu stated.
"He personally told me he wanted me to toast him." Xu Xiaoyu still disagreed.
"Then he was deliberately trying to get your attention. How old is Xiao Yu this year?" Li Minyu asked.
"Sister-in-law, a girl's age shouldn't be casually revealed to others."
"Mainly, I see that my second brother genuinely likes you.
He's very capable. How about I help set you two up?"
"Thank you for your kind offer, sister-in-law. I'm still young and don't want to get married yet. Let me study for a few more years."
"There are no age restrictions when it comes to love.
Seeing how young, beautiful, and talented you are, if you don't get booked early, who knows which lucky guy will end up with you."
"Sister-in-law, I really don't want to talk about relationships right now."
Just then, the waitress brought the dishes.
"Alright, if Xiao Yu doesn't want to, don't force it. Let's eat," Guo Xuyang said, glancing at Li Minyu.
He was puzzled as to why Li Minyu was so eager to play matchmaker.
Could it be that Li Minyu knew about Xu Xiaoyu's family situation?
He considered using his perception to delve into Li Minyu's consciousness but decided against it, feeling it would be disrespectful to Li Minyu.
"This soup is quite good, everyone should have some," Guo Xuyang said after tasting the cream of mushroom soup.
"The soup is good mainly because it's been simmered for a long time," Xu Xiaoyu commented after tasting it.
"The dishes Xiao Yu ordered today are all excellent. Very delicious."
"Thank you for the compliment. Has everyone had enough to eat? Do you want anything else?"
"I don't need anything else. Eating too much at night makes it hard to sleep," Xiao Lu said.
"Since everyone is full, shall we head back?" Guo Xuyang suggested. "Waitress, the bill."
Everyone was taken aback by Guo Xuyang's words because he was now speaking French.
There was no other way; having a cheat system was amazing.
He could understand the languages of alien planets, let alone French.
"Seven hundred and twenty-eight US dollars." the waitress said.
"Swipe." Guo Xuyang took out his bank card.
"I'm sorry, we don't accept this," the waitress said, looking at Guo Xuyang's card.
"Do you have WeChat or Alipay?"
"I'm sorry, sir."
"This..." Guo Xuyang was speechless.
In this day and age, in such a prosperous place, they didn't have WeChat or Alipay.
"I'll do it," Wu Shuchen quickly offered.
She pulled out a card and handed it to the waitress.
