Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 495 - 494: It Doesn’t Matter if You’re One Less
"What the heck, wasn't this kid supposed to not come? How did he still rush over here?" Shi Tianhang, sitting in a spot directly facing the restaurant entrance, saw Ge Dongxu and couldn't help expressing his surprise.
"Damn! He really came!" Lin Jianfeng turned his head and looked back upon hearing this, and couldn't help but reveal a look of disdain.
"Who are you talking about?" Right as Lin Jianfeng finished speaking, Ren Dandan came over with a plate and asked.
"There, that freshman who said he wouldn't come, now he has eagerly shown up after all, and Boss Lin is going to have to fork out again," Shi Tianhang said, nodding towards Ge Dongxu's direction with a mix of mockery and contempt in his voice.
"No way, he was invited before and refused to come, putting on a show of saving face; now he's showing up voluntarily. What's this all about?" Ren Dandan, seeing that it was Ge Dongxu, was also taken aback, then her expression quickly turned to one of mockery and scorn.
"Don't forget, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance! After this village, there's no such shop. This guy must have thought about it afterward—taking such an advantage and not being a fool, he's come back," Shi Tianhang commented.
"For crying out loud, is that the mentality you adopted to come here, that not seizing a good deal makes you a fool?" Lin Jianfeng laughed and cursed, then turned and waved Ge Dongxu over as he approached them.
By this time, Ge Dongxu had already noticed Lin Jianfeng and others, and remembered they had said they were going to eat at the Mingyue Lake revolving restaurant for lunch, prompting him to let out a wry smile.
He wanted to avoid them, but since Lin Jianfeng was waving to him, and considering they were schoolmates and there was also the connection with Xu Yanran and Lin Xiaojie, Ge Dongxu didn't feel it was right to just turn around and leave.
"What a coincidence, you guys are here too!" Ge Dongxu approached, greeting them with a smile.
"I mean, Dongxu, can you not put on such an act? If you're here to eat, just eat. After all, our Boss Lin isn't short of your participation," Ren Dandan said, rolling her eyes and speaking bluntly when she saw Ge Dongxu was still being so pretentious at this point.
"Yeah, Dongxu, since you're here, you're here. We're all from Jiangnan University, and besides, you and Xu Yanran are from the same place. It's really not a big deal. Go get a plate and pick whatever you like," Lin Jianfeng said, seemingly magnanimous as he gestured and laughed.
Ge Dongxu was a bit taken aback by these words, looking at Ren Dandan and Shi Tianhang with their disdainful faces, and then at Lin Jianfeng, who was pretending to be generous but with a sense of superiority, and couldn't help but respond with a mixture of laughter and helplessness, "You've misunderstood; I have an appointment with other friends."
After saying this, Ge Dongxu left.

Of course, he couldn't be bothered to continue entangling with the self-righteous Lin Jianfeng and the others.
"Damn it! Talk about suffering for the sake of saving face! If he came, why put on airs?" Shi Tianhang saw Ge Dongxu leaving and couldn't help but mutter with a look of contempt.
"Exactly, I really don't understand the world of engineering guys!" Ren Dandan followed up with a sarcastic remark.
"Hehe, it's better this way; I save a hundred ninety-eight!" Lin Jianfeng's mouth curled slightly, as he sneered dismissively.
"What are you guys talking about?" At this point, Lin Xiaojie and Xu Yanran came over with their plates and asked.
"Nothing much. Xu Yanran's fellow townsman came over just now. I invited him to join us, but he said he had an appointment with other friends," Lin Jianfeng replied with an evident sneer on his face.
"My fellow townsman? Which one are you talking about?" Xu Yanran asked, looking confused.
"Who else could it be but that freshman! He said he wouldn't come and then showed up. When he did, Boss Lin kindly invited him to join us for a meal, and yet he put on airs, saying he had other plans. I've never seen such a pretentious guy before," Ren Dandan said.
"Hey, Ren Dandan, what gives you the right to talk about Dongxu like that? Can't he have actually made plans to eat here?" Xu Yanran and Lin Xiaojie, now realizing Ge Dongxu had been there, immediately glared at Ren Dandan with displeasure, then looked around.
However, Wu Shiyi and Liu Manman, being popular hosts, were approached for autographs or greetings while dining, which disturbed Ge Dongxu's mood. They had booked a small private room in the revolving restaurant, so by now Ge Dongxu had already turned the corner of the buffet table in the middle and was out of sight of others.
"Alright, since he's already gone, there's no point in talking about it anymore," Lin Jianfeng said, clearly annoyed but not showing it on his face. He just smiled and waved his hand dismissively.
Xu Yanran and Lin Xiaojie felt it inappropriate to explain Ge Dongxu's identity to Lin Jianfeng and his group and, seeing the situation, they didn't press the matter further, simply nodding and taking their seats.
On the other side, Ge Dongxu knocked on the private room that Wu Shiyi and the others had booked.
"Ah, Dongxu!" As Ge Dongxu pushed the door open, the four women inside the private room stood up with faces full of surprise and joy, quickly gathering around him.
Surrounded by a bevy of beautiful women of various shapes and sizes, Ge Dongxu couldn't help feeling dazzled.
Especially because Wu Shiyi still favored tight, sexy bodycon dresses just like before, which not only emphasized her wild sexuality but, after over a year of hosting experience, added a mature and intellectual charm that gave Ge Dongxu a different feeling at first sight.
As for Liu Manman, there was no need to mention her. Though lacking Wu Shiyi's untamed fierceness, every smile and frown exuded a charm that inadvertently revealed the innate sexiness and allure from her bones.
Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie, after several months of filming, also showed some changes, seeming more mature and dressing the part as well.
"Is that not a bit over the top? Please, take your seats," Ge Dongxu said with a laugh, careful not to let his gaze wander.
There was no helping it; the four women were standing too close, their continuous peaks and curves putting a lot of pressure on Ge Dongxu.
"Of course, you should be the first to be seated, Dongxu," Liu Manman said, naturally taking Ge Dongxu's arm and leading him to the seat facing the entrance of the private room, while Wu Shiyi had already pulled out the chair for him.
Ge Dongxu could only laugh and shake his head as he sat down, joking, "I'm not a guest of honor, isn't this a bit much?"
"Guests of honor don't get this treatment! Only Dongxu does," Wu Shiyi immediately said.
"Don't put me on a pedestal! It's still hot outside; I can't handle it," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
"I'll ask the waiter to turn up the air conditioning," Liu Manman said sweetly.
"Well... okay, I forgot you're popular hosts. Trying to out-talk you is like trying to show off in front of experts," Ge Dongxu said, caught off guard, then added self-deprecatingly.
The women in the private room all laughed.
"Naughty! Dongxu, you're always teasing us!" Liu Manman leaned in and gave Ge Dongxu a playful pinch, sending him a coy look filled with feminine charm, playfully scolding him.
Feeling a shiver down his spine, Ge Dongxu quickly said, "Liu Manman, be serious! They are all close friends of my girlfriend."
"Hehe, it's okay! We didn't see anything," Jin Yushan and Lin Sijie immediately said.
Hearing this, Ge Dongxu was dumbfounded, suddenly realizing that all the women in this private room were from the entertainment industry, each articulate and knowing how to please a man. Here he was, outnumbered and walking into a private room that was essentially a lion's den, like Monk Tang stumbling into the spider's lair!
