"I'm hungry." The first thing Li Mofu said after sitting down.

Lu Mingyun glanced at Li Mofu speechlessly, "Why are you always eating?"

"What do you care about me?" Li Mofu said.

"...Eat less." Lu Mingyun began to worry that Li Mofu would become a fat man.

Li Mofu rolled his eyes and wanted to call the waiter, but Lu Mingyun called the waiter before him to order food.

While waiting, Li Mofu leaned on the round chair and watched the people singing and dancing on the stage. He only thought her clothes were beautiful and didn't understand anything else.

Guozi, who was sitting next to him, whispered to him, "Young Master, you can wait a while. There will be an acrobatic performance soon."

Li Mofu's brows relaxed, "Have you been here?"

"I came here once with the young master before." Guozi said.

Li Mofu nodded and began to chatter, "So you're a regular customer. Is your young master's confidante here?"

"......?" Lu Mingyun just watched Li Mofu talking about him openly with his men.

Guozi shook his head under pressure and said, "The young master came to watch a play with his friends last time."

"Oh."

In less than a quarter of an hour, the tea and melon seeds ordered by Lu Mingyun arrived. Li Mofu began to wait for the food while eating melon seeds.

Another quarter of an hour later, the waiter came up with a bowl of shredded chicken noodles and a small portion of barbecued pork.

"Sir, your dishes are here!" the waiter said with a smile, then left.

Li Mofu picked up his chopsticks and started eating, complaining as he ate, "You're too stingy. You only ordered this little bit. I left room for more."

Guozi looked at Li Mofu helplessly. He had obviously eaten a lot at dinner.

"Hmph," Lu Mingyun snorted and laughed, "Eat less, it's easy to get indigestion."

Li Mofu's eyes lit up after taking two bites. This shredded chicken noodle was actually salty and spicy, and the spiciness was not as strong as the ones sold outside. It was probably because it had been processed with Cornus officinalis.

The small dish of barbecued pork was sweet, as if smeared with honey. The meat inside was soft and tender, and the outside was crispy and sweet.

"It's delicious." Li Mofu said vaguely.

"Even if it's delicious, you can only eat one bowl." Lu Mingyun took a sip of tea.

After eating and drinking, Li Mofu watched acrobatics, followed by storytelling. The storytelling here was much better than the ones in the bookstore. It should have been written by someone hired by the restaurant.

During this period, Lu Mingyun urged him several times but to no avail.

The storyteller only told one story, and then it was time to sing. Several beautiful girls came in with their zithers.

The sound of tinkling music began to play, and many people sitting here began to taste the wine.

Li Mofu felt sleepy while listening. He propped up his chin and looked up at the women wearing green and golden bamboo veils. Each of them had bright and affectionate eyes.

Suddenly, the woman who was leading the playing smiled and gave Li Mofu a loving look.

"..." Li Mofu was slightly stunned. He moved closer to Lu Mingyun and said, "Did you see that? There's a beautiful woman who likes me."

Not to mention Lu Mingyun, even Mo Yi, who was sitting next to Lu Mingyun, sneered.

Lu Mingyun raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Li Mofu with a playful look and said, "Is there a possibility that she likes me?"

"..." Li Mofu immediately pulled back and sat down, then pouted, "I'm going back to sleep."

Lu Mingyun was more than happy to do so. He stood up and pulled out a chair. "Then let's go. It's time for you to go to bed."

Li Mofu sighed and followed Lu Mingyun home with a sense of loss.

That feeling of loss is also very subtle.

Li Mofu knew that he was not disappointed because the beauty did not like him, but because of something else, but he could not describe this "something else" in any way.

Whether it was the flower-appreciating invitation or the beauty's eyes, those were not the cause and effect between Li Mofu and this world. They were all what he encountered while relying on Lu Mingyun.

He wanted to go back, but he couldn't.

He wants to live in this world, but he can only rely on the male protagonist to connect with this world.

This subtlety made Li Mofu feel isolated.

"Sir, the soup will get cold if left for too long and it will be easy to catch a cold." Guozi reminded through the screen.
