Chapter 5

Fu Zhi couldn’t stop coughing.

Although Ning Xi had always been a bit wild, it was rare to see her acting as off-the-wall as she was today.

Probably because seeing Ning Mingyue and Shen Yibai appear together on the reality dating show had been too much of a shock for her.

So she started raving madly and talking nonsense at Ning Mingyue.

Everyone else thought the same thing.

But on the surface, they all pretended not to know about the relationship between Ning Xi and Shen Yibai, and naturally also acted as if they didn’t know the reason for Ning Xi’s odd attitude toward Ning Mingyue.

Jiang Sheshe slid into the empty seat next to Ning Xi, her eyes turning slyly:

“Ning Xi, why do you keep saying these weird things? Do you think this private room is too big, or that this stage is too empty? Is it like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t figure out how to make people remember you or even notice you?”

The implication was that she was mocking Ning Xi for deliberately saying things to attract the attention of online viewers.

Ning Xi winced inwardly: As expected of the Female Lead’s top sidekick, her verbal attacks were terrifyingly sharp!

She rubbed her hands together. “Since Sheshe asked me to say a couple words, I’ll say a couple. Which couple? I’ll just say two random things. The thing is, this is just how it is, the meaning is just as it means, the situation is just like this, but what’s really going on depends on the situation, I guess…”

“Um, sorry to interrupt, would you like to order now? Or would you prefer to wait a bit?”

The waiter, who had been waiting by the door for ages, finally couldn’t hold back and asked in a low voice before Ning Xi could finish her pile of nonsense.

Fu Zhi nodded numbly. “Let’s order now.”

Hurry up and get some food on the table to shut Ning Xi up!

But Ning Xi, hearing it was time to order, moved faster than anyone: “Do you have any recommended dishes?”

“Our signature dish is the Australian Fullblood Wagyu M9+ Sirloin Steak-very firm in texture. If you prefer something more tender, you can try the filet mignon…”

“I’ll have a sirloin, well-done,” Ning Xi said.

The moment she finished, Jiang Sheshe burst out laughing, covering her mouth:

“Hey, well-done? Are you serious?

Sirloin steak is best at rare or medium-rare, and for the highest grade or above M7, you can do it medium-well.

But no matter how high the grade, if you cook sirloin well-done, the taste will take a nosedive-it’s practically a waste of good meat.

Of course, I’m not saying you can’t order it well-done, but in that case, I’d suggest just getting beef jerky. That should be even more well-cooked.”

At the end, Jiang Sheshe shrugged, looking a bit helpless.

[Wow, Jiang Sheshe knows so much! I think I actually learned something. (pondering)]

[People actually eat steak well-done? I’m embarrassed for Ning Xi.]

[Hahahaha am I the only one who thinks Jiang Sheshe’s sense of superiority is way too strong? Fact check: The customer is king. The king can eat steak however they want!]

Jiang Sheshe lifted her chin and looked at Ning Xi, with a hint of contempt deep in her eyes.

A pheasant is still a pheasant-even after more than ten years in the Ning Family, she could never become a phoenix.

Based on her previous encounters, she’d thought Ning Xi would be hard to handle.

Now it seemed she was just good at acting crazy and playing dumb…

“Clap clap clap!” Ning Xi applauded Jiang Sheshe’s lengthy lecture.

Then she turned to the waiter: “Do you have any cows about to give birth here?”

The waiter was confused. “Uh?”

Ning Xi fixed her ponytail: “First, my name’s not ‘Hey,’ it’s Ning Xi. Second, I only eat steak at 0.1% doneness. When the first ray of morning sunlight touches a newborn calf, I’ll pick it up and eat it raw.”

Jiang Sheshe: ?

The waiter bit his lip hard to stifle a laugh.

[You’re too much, that’s hilarious hahahahahahahahahaha]

[I’m dying, Ning Xi you’re a genius]

[Why did that make me laugh for no reason]

[Try it again next time!]
