Chapter 78. Spend a man’s money when it’s necessary

Wen Li didn't want to be a light bulb, but Huo Yuanchen had spoken, so she had to follow.

As a result, when they arrived at the hot pot restaurant that An Wen had specifically requested, the waiter told them, "I'm sorry, Miss An reserved a table for two. The seats in our restaurant are fixed, so we can't add more chairs. How about you line up again on the spot and wait for a vacant seat at the table for four?"

An Wen glanced at the long line outside the store, shook Huo Yuanchen's arm, and said a little aggrievedly, "Brother Yuanchen, I reserved a seat three hours in advance."

What I mean is that I don’t want to queue up again.

Wen Li thought with admiration, didn't An Wen's exam start three hours ago? Fortunately, she managed to reserve a seat one minute before the exam started and turned off her phone to hand it in. This dexterity is rare.

Huo Yuanchen asked Wen Li, "Why don't you go see if there's a restaurant nearby that you want to eat at? Whatever it is, I'll pay for it for you."

Wen Li raised her eyelids to look at him and asked lazily, "I want to eat at a restaurant where the average cost per person is 5,000. Is that ok?"

Huo Yuanchen nodded, "Okay, whatever you want."

An Wen was unhappy. The hot pot restaurant she chose only cost 500 yuan per person. How could Wen Li eat at a restaurant that costs 5,000 yuan per person? She pointed to an inconspicuous small shop across the street and "kindly" suggested to Wen Li, "I heard that the shop is also very good, it's a century-old shop. Sister Wen Li is here, why don't you try it?"

Wen Li didn't even look in the direction she pointed, and walked towards the restaurant with more magnificent decoration.

The hot pot restaurant that An Wen chose was located inside a shopping mall. There were plenty of places to eat around it, but the consumption standards in the mall were just so-so. Wen Li had never found a restaurant where the average consumption per person was over a thousand yuan.

Even if she really found it, she wouldn't be able to eat much by herself.

In the end, she ran to the game hall on the top floor of the mall and played for two hours. When Huo Yuanchen called her and asked her to meet up, she was still driving a racing car and racing with the high school students next door.

When she left, she told the arcade manager, "Exchange me another 1,000 yuan worth of game coins, and give me a receipt. No invoice is needed, just a receipt to prove the amount of my spending."

The manager's jaw dropped, and he looked at her as if she was crazy. But if you don't make money, you're a fool. The manager still exchanged her for 1,000 game coins, gave her a receipt, and reminded her, "The mall is having an event recently, and you can draw a prize if you spend 300."

Wen Li thanked him and distributed all the one thousand game coins to the people in the game hall. The whole game hall was filled with cheers, as lively as Chinese New Year.

Wen Li took the receipt and ran to the lottery slowly. She was lucky and won the second prize, a full 50 kilograms of rice.

With such a heavy bag, she wouldn't be stupid enough to carry it out by herself, so of course she called Huo Yuanchen.

The other party had long been impatient to wait, and asked her as soon as the call was connected, "Where are you?"

Wen Li said softly, "Professor Huo, I have a lot of stuff and it's hard to lift it."

Ten minutes later, Huo Yuanchen came over with An Wen. His originally cold and distant face showed a rare speechless expression after seeing the fifty kilograms of rice.

Wen Li explained innocently, "Isn't this a shopping mall promotion? I haven't won many prizes since I was a child, so I think this is not just rice. It means my luck is about to get better. I don't have to give it up, but what if I give up and my luck is always bad in the future? I'm actually a bit superstitious and I believe in luck."

Huo Yuanchen looked at her coldly as she talked nonsense, and finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted her, saying, "Okay, I'll bring it up."

Wen Li immediately handed over her receipt for the game hall with a smile on her face, "Then Professor Huo, please reimburse me first."

Although Huo Yuanchen usually has the habit of exercising, he still feels a little tired after carrying 50 kilograms of rice and walking all the way to the underground garage.

An Wen followed behind him, feeling extremely distressed. She kept saying all the way, "Brother Yuanchen, you should take a rest. This is too tiring. I can't bear to let you carry such a heavy thing."

Wen Li knew that An Wen was talking to her. She didn't care and followed the two of them, trying to hold the bag tightly in her hand.

Huo Yuanchen turned around and saw it, and asked her, "What's in your hand?"

Wen Li took out a doll from his bag, shook it at him, and said, "I got it from the claw machine. I got more than a dozen. Isn't that impressive?"

Huo Yuanchen finally knew where his more than a thousand yuan had gone. He snorted coldly and said to her, "You are quite good at entertaining yourself."

Wen Li hummed and said, "I see that people here eat in pairs. If I go alone, others will think I'm pitiful. I can't explain to strangers that I have a boyfriend and that he's having dinner with someone else and will meet me soon. Instead of going through all that trouble, I might as well go play games. Anyway, the game hall is full of singles and no one will look down on anyone."

Huo Yuanchen glared at her coldly, but didn't say anything else to her.

The three of them got in the car, and Huo Yuanchen wanted to take An Wen home first. Wen Li sat in the back seat, playing with the doll she won without saying a word, ignoring the two people in the front seat.

When the car stopped, she realized something was wrong. This was not the dormitory area of Haishi University, but an upscale residential area near the school.

She saw An Wen unbuckle her seat belt, as if she was going to get out of the car, but she didn't open the door immediately. Instead, she looked at Huo Yuanchen with sticky eyes, hesitating and looking like she didn't want to leave.

She couldn't help but ask, "Why did you stop here? Who lives here?"

Successfully blocked An Wen's open mouth.

Huo Yuanchen unbuckled his seat belt and said as he opened the car door, "It's too noisy in An Wen's dormitory, which affects her review. It will be more convenient for her to study if she lives here."

Wen Li said "Oh" without any emotion. Maybe she acted too cold, An Wen glanced at her and asked Huo Yuanchen cautiously, "Brother Yuanchen, does Sister Wen Li think it's not good for me to live here? I don't think it's necessary to make such a fuss. We are all graduating soon, so it doesn't matter if my roommates quarrel. I can study in the corridor."

Huo Yuanchen comforted her, "I asked you to move out. Don't worry about what others think. The lights in the hallway are too dim. Will you lose your eyesight if this continues?"

An Wen smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Yuanchen is so nice and considerate to me."

Wen Li secretly rolled her eyes and thought, there wasn't any messy incense in Huo Yuanchen's car, so how come she smelled a scent of tea?

She waited for Huo Yuanchen to send An Wen back and then drive her there, with no intention of getting out of the car.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yuanchen opened the door on her side and said, "An Wen has a lot of stuff, come down and help."
