Chapter 51: Do you want to be the mistress of Tomson First Class?
"It is indeed a Tomson First Class apartment." The man pulled Xu Li aside and whispered, "Stop making a fool of yourself here. Let’s leave quickly! Their suite alone is worth over a hundred million..."
Even in Lujiazui, the same area, housing prices still varied significantly. The place they lived in barely qualified them to be considered residents of this threshold.
With an excruciatingly awkward smile, Xu Li said, "Then, Ruoxi, come over for a visit some other day!" before leaving with her homely boyfriend in tow.
"Do you really have an apartment in Tomson First Class?" Lin Ruoxi asked excitedly.
"Yeah, I heard the apartments there are nice, so I bought one. But I actually prefer a villa with a garden, the kind that’s several thousand square meters. Big spaces are more comfortable. Finding a place like that in Shanghai isn’t easy, though. We’ll see about it later!"
"Tomson First Class is already good enough. What more could you want?" Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes. The world of the rich was truly beyond her understanding.
Around noon, the two, not having had breakfast, were starving. They quickly got into the car, and Luofeng began to look up the location of Fragrant Island Lobster.
"It should be this one," Luofeng said, holding his phone. "There are so many similar names, I’m afraid of getting it wrong. You and I, it seems we’re truly fated; I also really love eating crawfish." He noticed Lin Ruoxi’s expression turn slightly surprised.
Lin Ruoxi was well aware that if you didn’t genuinely love crawfish, you just wouldn’t find this legendary Fragrant Island Lobster shop.
A peculiar light glinted in her eyes as she looked at Luofeng.
"Hey, beauty, looking at me with those kinds of eyes? Are you trying to seduce me?" Luofeng chuckled as he caught sight of her pretty face.
"Who’s trying to seduce you? I’m starving; let’s go quickly. This young lady is treating today, an opportunity like this doesn’t come often, you know," Lin Ruoxi snapped back, regaining her composure.
"Okay! The beauty is treating, so I’m not going home today until I’ve eaten so much I could puke!" Luofeng said with a laugh and started the car.
After a few minutes of silence during the drive, Lin Ruoxi finally spoke up, "Just now... thank you for what you did."
"What?" Luofeng asked.
"About the boyfriend thing," Lin Ruoxi began, "that woman is from my hometown, and our families don’t get along..." Soon, she started to discuss the petty matters involving Xu Li’s family. Luofeng didn’t really care to listen. In a word: one-upmanship.
However, it was obvious that Lin Ruoxi didn’t want to pay them any mind, but they just had to put her down. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Forget about neighbors with whom you have conflicts. Even with relatives you get along well with, it’s common for them to become jealous if you’re doing well. And if you’re not doing well, they might ridicule and look down on you. That’s all too normal.
Soon, the two arrived. The restaurant was very crowded at lunchtime, but they finally managed to find an empty table and quickly sat down.
Then, the waiter brought over the menu, and Luofeng started to order.
"You’ve ordered practically all of this place’s signature dishes?"
As she looked at Luofeng’s orders, Lin Ruoxi found nothing to add.
"What else? I come here often. Do you think rich people can’t enjoy crawfish like this?" Luofeng retorted with feigned annoyance, but inside he was secretly amused. Wasn’t this all according to your ’desire checklist’?
"You know, you’d make a great boyfriend," Lin Ruoxi blurted out without thinking.
"Ah? Me?"
"Of course not!" Lin Ruoxi playfully rebuffed him. "Being boyfriend material doesn’t necessarily mean he has to be *my* boyfriend, right?"
"That’s true. But why do you think I’m suitable?" Luofeng asked in return.
"Because the Antarctic ice is melting, and it’s all your fault."
"You think I’m warm?" Luofeng chuckled.
"Pretty much. Plus, most importantly, you and I are kindred spirits, in a way."
"We’re not snail noodles, so what kind of comparison is that?" Luofeng pursed his lips.
The two chatted casually, and in no time, the fragrant crawfish was served.
Lin Ruoxi passed Luofeng a pair of gloves with a smile.
"Hurry, hurry! I eat crawfish really fast. If you’re too slow, there won’t be any left later!"
Then, Lin Ruoxi immediately transformed as if she were a reincarnated starving ghost. Ladylike manners? What did they have to do with her?
In about half an hour, the two of them had eaten until they were about eighty percent full.
Taking advantage of the break, Lin Ruoxi took the initiative to ask, "Hey, Luofeng, are you moving today?"
"It’s past 1 p.m. now. I plan to check out the new apartment first, then move my stuff over." Luofeng’s original place was outside the campus area, costing 2,000 yuan a month. It wasn’t very expensive, but not cheap either. After all, rent near the campus wasn’t that high. A college student renting off-campus for 2,000 yuan a month definitely had family support. Otherwise, where would a college student earn 2,000 yuan?
"How about I drop you off first in a bit?" Luofeng thought for a moment and deliberately suggested. "We can move another day."
With her lips pursed, Lin Ruoxi, slightly indignant, said, "Hey, you’re not trying to get rid of me because another girl is coming over, are you?"
"Haha, how could that be? I was just worried you might have something to do. Since that’s not the case, shall we go together?" Luofeng, of course, wanted to test his current standing with her. It seemed he couldn’t be wrong; she didn’t want to leave his side at all.
"Of course I don’t have anything to do. Didn’t I tell you? The gym isn’t open today."
Truth be told, if she hadn’t run into Luofeng while jogging, she likely would have spent the entire day at home, watching TV and scrolling through short videos, then ordering crawfish when she got hungry.
Lin Ruoxi coquettishly suggested, "Take me to see your place; I’ve never seen what an apartment in Tomson First Class looks like."
"And how about becoming the lady of a Tomson First Class apartment while you’re at it?" Luofeng quipped.
"What, should I take that as a confession?" Lin Ruoxi gave a flirtatious smile. "But a place like this isn’t suitable for a confession. You need to be at least a bit more romantic to show some sincerity," she joked.
"Romance is easy to come by, isn’t it?" Luofeng laughed. He picked up a pair of chopsticks, formed them into a heart shape, and asked, "Here you go! How’s that for romantic?"
Lin Ruoxi was so amused, she shook with laughter. "Your way of confessing is so typically ’straight guy’! Will you ever be able to woo a girl like that?"
"I don’t need to woo anyone else. Wooing you is enough," Luofeng said with a wink.
"In your dreams! You’re so vain," Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes. "I’ll go settle the bill. If you’re moving today, I’ll help you. It’ll be faster with two people."
"Well, thanks, girlfriend."
"What are you calling me that for? I haven’t agreed to anything," Lin Ruoxi huffed, then headed to the front desk to pay.
The two hadn’t eaten that much, just 400 yuan in total. She had some money in her personal savings, so she could naturally afford it.
Not long after, they left the lobster shop.
Tomson First Class was across the Huangpu River.
About half an hour later, they finally arrived.
