Chapter 671: Sheng Yi: Our Relationship Is Just Fine
Although Sheng Yi is a discerning eater, she’s not a picky one.She can enjoy greasy sausages grilled in roadside ovens and savor Lafite wine alike.
Before leaving home, Sheng Yi had already chosen the restaurant she wanted to dine at, the same one she mentioned to Gu Yuan on the phone earlier in the car.
It’s a Michelin three-star restaurant, and the reviews for this place are very good.
Knowing that a reservation was required, Sheng Yi made sure to book ahead.
She had never been there and wasn’t aware. At first, she thought the reviews might be biased, but seeing that it’s a three-star restaurant, she realized even if they were biased, it didn’t matter, as three stars represent the highest level.
Upon entering, the sight of the male waitstaff in black and white vest uniforms caught Sheng Yi’s eye, and she whispered to herself, "The waiters are really good-looking..."
When she saw the second and third waiters, all equally handsome, she was no longer surprised. Such a three-star restaurant also has very high standards and requirements for the appearance of their wait staff.
Beyond just appearance, their educational background couldn’t be low either. It’s said that most of the patrons dining here are people from high society.
The entire restaurant is decorated in an opulent European palace style, an absolute feast for the eyes. A waiter guided Sheng Yi to her reserved spot.
The seat is by the window, a choice she deliberately made, though it was more expensive.
The wait for the food was rather dull.
Especially dining alone, there was nothing else to do but look at her phone.
Since most of the people here are of high status, she couldn’t look around like she was eating at a street stall.
She took off her mask, folded it neatly, and placed it inside the Louis Vuitton patterned bag she brought today. Just as she turned, a couple walked by in step.
The man walked closer to Sheng Yi’s side, while the woman walked beside him, on the outer side.
As they passed Sheng Yi, the man didn’t glance aside, but after a few steps, he heard a slight thud to his side, as if something small like an earphone case had fallen.
With this faint sound, the man slightly turned his head.
Just then, Sheng Yi bent down to pick up the earphone case.
"What is it, Ann?" Jane’s curious gaze followed Dao An’s to that direction.
The woman at the table had bent over, revealing only her dense, coral-like curls over her waist, a pink headband loosely tying half her hair, exuding the most nonchalant style.
Possibly because the earphone case had rolled too far, the woman couldn’t quite reach it, and she started to rise from her seat to get it...
Dao An gave a nod to the waiter beside him, who immediately understood and stepped forward to help the lady pick up the earphone case from the floor.
By the time Sheng Yi straightened up, Dao An had already withdrawn his gaze, softly saying, "It’s nothing."
They continued walking forward.
Jane glanced over again; the woman was quite beautiful, and when she thanked the waiter, her bright, twinkling eyes looked even more beautiful. Because of Ann’s small gesture earlier, Jane had a chance to look at her closely.
It was that second look that led Jane to recognize the face as not unfamiliar.
A famous female celebrity from Hua Country.
However, Jane wasn’t a fan of the stars, looking down on those in the entertainment industry. The reason she remembered this woman’s face was because she had seen her at a Tiffany jewelry gala, where several female celebrities were present, including the woman she had just seen.
Who would have thought that outside, she was an infinitely glamorous superstar, but at an elite society banquet, those glamorous stars had to lower their stature to please people of their class.
Retracting her gaze, Jane quickly caught up with the man’s pace.
Their reserved spot was directly opposite Sheng Yi’s table, not too close nor too far away, though separated by a partition, preventing anyone from seeing each other unless they stood up.
Sheng Yi thanked the waiter and placed the earphone case back into her bag.
Earlier, when placing her mask, she had taken out the earphone case and placed it on the table, accidentally knocking it to the ground with her elbow. She took out the earphones and put them on, as she was too bored and started browsing Weibo to kill time while waiting for the food.
At this moment, Sheng Yi was unaware of what she had missed with her action of bending down to pick up the earphone case.
The wait wasn’t long.
The appetizers arrived.
The appetizer included thin crispbread paired with tuna salad, the taste wasn’t particularly outstanding, but the visuals were quite appetizing. Probably because she had been eating at the hotel for too many days, even a mere appetizer looked very enticing to Sheng Yi.
