Upon hearing this, the previously noisy entrance fell silent once more, and everyone's attention turned to the two of them.
Although everyone was arguing and getting heated, but the big shots at the front didn't make a move, and those behind them also refrained from fighting, so the situation remained under control.
But judging from the way this young couple is acting, are they going to argue about whether tofu pudding should be sweet or savory? If it gets any worse, won't they break up?
However, this couple really does look a bit like Beauty and the Beast. Although the height difference is cute, but the petite girl looks particularly small standing in front of the bear-like man. His arm is as thick as her leg.
"How could that be, Xi Xi? I really love you. It's just that you know I don't like sweet things, so I chose Savory Tofu Pudding." Lu Lu shook his head and said with a smile.
"Liar, if you love me, how come you can't even share my taste? You know perfectly well that my favorite flavor is sweet." Xi Xi shook her head, looking even more sorrowful.
"Yes, young lady, a man who doesn't know how to be considerate of women isn't worth keeping. Just let it go." the old man in front of her chimed in.
"Yes, can there be any good people in the Savory Faction? Look at the way he's defending himself, he doesn't have a single bit of sincerity."
Those on the Sweet Faction side chimed in, showing no fear of making things worse.
"Young man, don't rush. There's no shortage of women in this world. You're better off without a woman who likes sweet and greasy things."
"Exactly! Savory is light! Savory is faith! How can you abandon your faith for a woman!"
"Yes, if you stay, I'll introduce you to my granddaughter!"
The Savory Faction also countered sharply, resorting to various methods of persuasion.
The malice from single people was amplified at this moment, because those who enjoy watching the show never think things will get worse.
All eyes were on the two of them, waiting to see what they would choose.
The man looked tall and imposing, exuding masculinity. With so many people watching, he certainly wouldn't easily bow down to a woman, that would be too humiliating.
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Lu's eyes were still fixed on only one person. He stepped forward, gently placed his hand on her head, and said with some affection, "Dumb, whatever you like to eat, I can accept it. If you want me to eat sweets too, then I'll go to the back of the line and eat sweets with you."
"Hehe, Lu Lu, I knew you were the best." Xi Xi's expression brightened instantly, and her eyes seemed to sparkle as she looked at Lu Lu, with only one person in her eyes.
The expressions of the crowd who had been urging the two to break up froze instantly. They were caught off guard and had a mouthful of dog food[1] stuffed into their mouths, not even having time to refuse.
"Damn it, I'm a member of Savory Faction, and they're forcing me to eat something so sweet! Is there any justice in this world? Is there any moral order here?!" A young man looked at Lu Lu's back as he walked towards the back of the group, his tone inexplicably sour.
"Ahhh, I'm so envious of this kind of love. Only girls who marry for love can occasionally throw little tantrums and be a little capricious." a girl nearby said with envy.
Xi Xi watched Lu Lu's back and walked out of the group, following behind him with a smile on her face.
"Huh? Why aren't you at the front of the line? What if all the good food gets ordered?" Lu Lu walked to the back of the line before turning around and looking at Xi Xi standing in front of him with some surprise.
"It's okay, everything I ate with you was delicious." Xi Xi shook her head, looking up at him with a smile.
"Hmm?" The people around them had strange expressions.
"Okay, then stand in front of me." Lu Lu smiled broadly and stepped back a step so that Xi Xi could stand in front of him.
"Lu Lu, when did you fall in love with me?" After standing there for a while, Xi Xi turned around and looked at Lu Lu with curiosity.
"I don't know." Lu Lu shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just that one day I woke up and realized that everyone around you, regardless of gender, seemed like a rival in love. That's when I knew I was hopeless."
"Hehe, that's great." Xi Xi's face was full of happy smiles.
"Hiss!" The people around them retreated in disarray, the cold dog food being slapped all over their faces. How could anyone live like this!
Fortunately, the restaurant had just opened, and everyone quickened their pace as they entered.
"Let's go in now, but I don't know if we'll still have any seats left." Lu Lu smiled and took Xi Xi's hand, walking forward.
Robert followed the group into the restaurant, and his eyes lit up when he saw the layout. The restaurant was not large compared to large restaurants with dozens or hundreds of tables, but the sixteen neatly arranged tables were enough to accommodate forty eight guests at the same time without feeling crowded.
Of course, what impressed him even more was the restaurant's style. The sixteen wooden tables and chairs had similar patterns, which made them look very harmonious. The murals on the four walls also looked grand and magnificent, encompassing all things. The four crystal chandeliers were even more luxurious.
He had been to all the restaurants in Aden Square, and in terms of comfort alone, this restaurant was definitely number one. It wasn't the kind of ostentatious luxury, but rather a subtle elegance that revealed a corner of its charm. This ambiance alone far surpassed that of ordinary restaurants. Giving this dining environment a perfect score of 5 would be absolutely no problem.
"Welcome! I'm sorry, there are no seats available right now. If you'd like to buy the Rou Jia Mo to take away, you can order it now. Other dishes will require you to wait for a table to become available." Yabemia said with a smile as she stepped forward.
"I'll wait a bit." Robert looked at the warm smile on Yabemia's face, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face, which he didn't smile often.
"Okay." Yabemia nodded, then continued talking to the guests behind him.
"This kind of service deserves a 5 out of 5." Robert nodded thoughtfully. The waiter wasn't overly enthusiastic, but the appropriate distance combined with her warm smile made one's mood improve considerably, it was excellent service.
"Now, all that's left is the taste. With such a strong response from customers, this restaurant might really be the dark horse in this ranking competition." Robert looked expectantly towards the kitchen, where a faint, enticing aroma wafted in the air.
"Is this the new dish that the Little Boss is eating?" Everyone's attention was drawn to Little Amy, who was sitting on the table in front of the counter. In front of her was a bowl of braised chicken and a bowl of Moonlight Fragrant Rice.
"What a wonderful smell! What is this?" Robert's gaze also fell on Amy. In front of the adorable silver-haired half-elf little girl was a large clay pot bowl, from which an enticing aroma was emanating.
[1] "Eating dog food" is a popular internet slang term referring to single people (who call themselves "single dogs") passively watching couples publicly display their affection, often with a humorous, self-deprecating, or envious tone. The term originates from "spreading dog food" (showing affection), describing the feeling of being forcibly fed dog food by the happiness of others.
