60 Getting to Know New Friends

The waiter was happy to hear how easygoing this customer was, but when it came to the request for drinks, their restaurant only sold alcohol or tea…

He kept smiling as he said to Qingcheng, "Sir, besides alcohol, our restaurant only has tea… is it alright if I serve your table a pot of tea?" He sounded a little apologetic.

Qingcheng understood what the waiter meant. The people here generally only drank either alcohol or tea, unlike the wide variety of drinks there was to choose from in modern times. She had no choice but to accept the tea, so she agreed. "Sure."

"That's great! Sir, please wait for a while. I'll get you some tea right now." The waiter walked off happily.

Actually, Qingcheng had many jars of juice in her interspace, but it was not a good time to take it out to drink. The juice was very fragrant, and it would attract other people's attention. On top of that, the effect of drinking this juice was even better than certain pills, so she was also going to use this juice as a special item on Intoxicating Immortals Restaurant's menu.

She started to look around her and noticed that there were a lot of people out there for lunch, and most of them were youngsters. She could hear a few young men chatting at the table next to hers.

"Qi Sheng, who do you think will win first place and get a chance to meet Miss Suxin?" asked a man in a gray shirt.

The man named Qi Sheng was wearing a white shirt. He had a roundish face and well-defined features. He was slightly girlish looking and didn't look older than eighteen or nineteen. He seemed fairly adorable.

Qi Sheng smiled faintly and picked up a cup to take a sip as he replied in a leisurely manner, "You're asking me? Hoho, if you're asking me, then, of course I'm the one who's going to win!"

The other man instantly yelled back in an indignant manner, "TSK! Oh please, you barely know any literature, can't play any instruments, can't recite poetry, are bad at drawing… and you want to win first place? If you ask me, I'm going to be the winner!" He didn't hold back any of his mockeries. But Qi Sheng didn't get angry and just laughed along with the other man.

The other two men at the table also laughed along. This commotion naturally caught the attention of others like it had Qingcheng's. When she came into the main dining area of the restaurant, several people turned to look at her. But after some time, they stopped looking at her, and the noise from this table was attracting all their attention instead.

Qingcheng turned to look at them, and Qi Sheng happened to look up at her too. Their eyes met, and Qi Sheng nodded in a friendly manner. Qingcheng politely responded with a nod, and that was considered a greeting. The rest of his table also looked over to wave and say hello in a friendly manner, so Qingcheng and her table responded in kind. But Qi Sheng's table actually moved their entire group to join with hers, and Qingcheng wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry at this.

Qi Sheng saw that Qingcheng didn't object, so they all settled down and started to introduce themselves. "Hello. My name is Qi Sheng, and these gentlemen here are all my friends. We noticed that you have a distinguished air around you, and you don't seem ordinary, so we all wanted to make friends with you."

He was really curious about these three. One had such a distinguished air and wore a rare white jade mask over his face, while the other two with him were not to be taken lightly, either. Qi Sheng wasn't sure where he found the courage from, but he wanted to get to know them.

Qingcheng didn't mind his directness, and her impression of him wasn't too bad, so she replied, "My name is Qing Huang, and it's my first time in this city. It's my honor to get to know all of you." Her attitude was friendly, and it wasn't as cold as she normally was to strangers.

The other three also introduced themselves. The man in the gray shirt said, "I'm Ji Yang. It's also my honor to get to know you, Qing Huang!" He had a square face and small eyes, and a smile revealed a mouthful of pearly whites, making him look rather honest.

The other two also started introducing themselves. "My name is Chen Zhihao! Glad to know you!" He looked so excited!
