Chapter 316 Trying My Luck
"This shows that even if Teacher Chen is not the owner of Crescent Moon Pavilion, his relationship with Crescent Moon Pavilion must be extraordinary."
“The guys here must know him.”
"But, if we ask this right away, will anyone say anything?" Liu Yubai had another question left unsaid: would they be seen as looking for trouble if they did this?
“We definitely can’t ask directly,” Lin Shao said. “We’ll just pretend to be friends of the owner of Crescent Moon Restaurant, and then the waiter will tell us.”
“But…” Liu Yubai was still a little uneasy. What if the other party still wouldn’t tell him?
Lin Shao rolled his eyes at Liu Yubai and said casually, "Let's go ask first."
Although this method was somewhat unreliable, they had no other choice but to agree to it, since Lin Shao had suggested it.
After confirming the details, the group called over the waiter to settle the bill.
When the waiter saw so many plates piled on the table, his eyes nearly popped out of his head in surprise. He couldn't help but ask, "These are all from the customers...you ate them?"
This guy wasn't the same guy from before, but he was just as shocked as the previous guy when he saw how much someone could eat.
Lin Shao and his companions felt a little guilty. In fact, they didn't usually eat this much. It was just that the food at Xinyuelou was so delicious that they couldn't control themselves.
Lin Shaoqing coughed and said, "Because the food at Xinyuelou is so delicious, my companions and I ate a bit too much. I hope the waiter won't mind."
"No problem, no problem." After collecting the money, the waiter went out and called a few more waiters to help clear the plates, as there were too many plates for him to handle by himself.
Some of the diners in the hall were surprised to see the waiter carrying out so many plates, especially when they learned that these plates were being eaten by several teenagers.
Although the food at Crescent Moon Restaurant was delicious, they rarely saw anyone eat so much at once.
Feeling extremely guilty under their gaze, the group left quickly without lingering.
Only after leaving the Crescent Moon Tower did the group quietly breathe a sigh of relief. Being stared at by so many people with strange looks was too embarrassing, so they quickly left without thinking too much about it.
But once they were outside, they realized something: "Didn't we ask our partner any questions?"
The other four paused, exchanging bewildered glances. "Do we have to go back again?"
This statement was immediately rejected; they didn't want to be stared at like monkeys anymore.
"What about us now?"
Xu Yun'er thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we wait outside and see if we can run into anyone from Crescent Moon Pavilion?"
"What kind of crazy idea is this?" Xu Yun'er glared at Liu Yubai, who had spoken, and said, "Then go inside and ask a waiter. I'm not going in again."
“I think Yun’er’s idea is pretty good,” Liu Yubai quickly changed her mind.
Because none of them wanted to go back, they followed Xu Yun'er's suggestion, which resulted in this scene: five good-looking young men and women standing at the entrance of the restaurant, causing passersby to take a second look.
Liu Yubai felt uncomfortable being stared at, and couldn't help but glare at a girl who kept looking at them, saying, "What are you looking at?"
The girl, who had initially glanced at Liu Yubai a few times because of her appearance, was frightened by her fierce look and immediately dared not look at her any longer.
The others twitched their lips but remained silent. Liu Yubai was indeed more ruthless, but that ruthlessness was quite effective; at least fewer people were looking at them.
After a while, still no waiter came out of the Crescent Moon Tower.
……
Half an hour later.
Shangguan Ying glanced at the Crescent Moon Tower and said, "Should we continue waiting?"
"Or we could just ask anyone and try our luck," Lin Junyuan said dejectedly.
"Brother, there's no difference between saying this idea and not saying it." Lin Shao was speechless.
“But if we wait like this until dark, we might not even see anyone come out. Besides, if we stay outside their restaurant for that long, they might think we're causing trouble.”
Finally, the five decided to ask anyone at random and try their luck, then find a place to rest.
Just then, Shangguan Ying spotted a pretty and delicate-looking girl and her eyes lit up: "Let's go ask this person."
Xu Yun'er retorted, "Ying'er, I think you're only attracted to her looks."
"I just wanted to ask her if she knew Teacher Chen," Shangguan Ying said without any guilt.
After Shangguan Ying said that, the other four rolled their eyes. If this girl knew Teacher Chen just by randomly grabbing her, they would write their names backwards.
However, he couldn't let Shangguan Ying go and ask alone, so he sighed and, not wanting Shangguan Ying to embarrass herself too much, he went forward as well.
He Fei looked at the person who had suddenly appeared in front of her, blinked, and asked in confusion, "May I ask who you are?"
"Well, little sister, we'd like to ask you about someone," Shangguan Ying said.
He Fei happened to have nothing to do at the moment, so she nodded and said, "Go ahead and ask."
Lin Shaoxian asked, "Do you know the owner of Crescent Moon Pavilion?"
To be precise, He Fei is one of the owners of Crescent Moon Tower, but she doesn't know this person. Could it be that Chen Feng knows him?
He Fei didn't say it aloud, but instead asked, "What's your relationship with the owner of Crescent Moon Pavilion? Why are you asking about him?"
“We are his…” Liu Yubai hadn’t finished speaking when Lin Shao bumped into her. After Lin Junyuan calmed down, Wu Qian said, “We are friends with the owner of Xinyuelou.”
He Fei was certain that she had never seen them before. Could it be that they knew Chen Feng?
"We want to find out about the relationship between Chen Feng and the owner of Crescent Moon Restaurant."
He Fei was glad she hadn't told them earlier. If they knew Chen Feng, they would know he was the owner of Crescent Moon Tower. But why were they asking her these questions? He Fei asked, feigning confusion.
"That's how it is," Liu Yubai said. "We couldn't find anyone, so we just asked someone randomly to try our luck."
After Liu Yubai finished speaking, Lin Shao and the other three looked up at the sky speechlessly. They hadn't expected that Liu Yubai would tell others their purpose so directly. Fortunately, this girl was a complete stranger to them.
He Fei became even more wary. He remembered that when he chatted with Chen Feng before, Chen Feng had mentioned that he seemed to have quite a few enemies. These five people were asking him this question right away. Could it be that they were Chen Feng's enemies who had found their way here?
Although none of these people looked like bad guys, He Fei knew the importance of not judging a book by its cover, so she said without changing her expression, "I don't know the people you're talking about."
Hearing He Fei's words, the group was not disappointed. After all, they hadn't expected to get the information they wanted from a random passerby.
