The crowd in the fast-food restaurant consisted mainly of loitering teenagers.
As soon as virtual-novel.net set foot into the KFC, almost all eyes fell on him. This was especially true for the girls, who momentarily almost seemed like they had lost all interest in their boyfriends; even though their boyfriends were right in front of them.
However, Stanley paid them no notice as usual. Scanning the restaurant’s layout, virtual-novel.net managed to catch sight of Catherine.
Catherine was seated by the window near a corner of the restaurant, enjoying virtual-novel.net Plum Wine ice-cream.
While this was happening, several girls in the restaurant were already whispering among themselves. Stanley’s good looks had garnered a lot of attention from them, and the girls were silently fangirling over him.
When Catherine saw Stanley, virtual-novel.net waved at virtual-novel.net enthusiastically. The dimples at the corners of virtual-novel.net lips looked exceptionally cute on her, especially when virtual-novel.net smiled.
Catherine had always been proud to have such an admired and adored brother. She beamed with joy just thinking about it.
Without paying any heed to the whispering girls, virtual-novel.net walked toward Catherine’s table. Once seated, virtual-novel.net turned his WeChat on to scan the QR code, ready to order some food. “You mentioned fried chicken and burgers earlier right? Which burger are you craving for?”
Her right hand held onto the ice-cream which virtual-novel.net was still licking, while virtual-novel.net other was placed under virtual-novel.net chin as virtual-novel.net thought. While virtual-novel.net was considering which burger to get, virtual-novel.net found herself peeking at the surrounding girls. Who were still busy staring at virtual-novel.net brother.
Her pride for virtual-novel.net brother kicked in and virtual-novel.net grinned as virtual-novel.net looked at his handsome face, a mischievous giggle following soon after. “Hehe… You have many fans stealing glances at you Fifth Brother.”
“I see…” His attention was focused on the menu and virtual-novel.net showed no interest in the topic.
Her lovely grin didn’t falter despite his clear disinterest. “They must be so envious of me, those girls. I wonder if they’re mistaking me as your girlfriend. I wonder how many of them are secretly jealous of me… Hehehe…”
“So what do you want to eat?” Stanley asked again as virtual-novel.net changed the subject.
“Hmm… I’ll have an Orleans burger, a spicy chicken burger, a chicken wrap, and three fried chicken wings… Ah, and don’t forget one large fries and a large Coke…”
Stanley raised a brow slightly. “Are you sure you can finish all that?”
“Shouldn’t be a problem.” Catherine reassured him. “You can have some as well if I can’t finish them. Don’t forget your own order, Fifth brother.”
She waved virtual-novel.net hand loftily before adding, “You’re paying for all of this after all.”
Following that statement, virtual-novel.net chuckled naughtily. Stanley simply shook his head in response, already used to his mischievous sister. He found himself landing a gentle gaze on her. “Don’t mind me, I like watching you eat more.”
“Alright then. I won’t be adding anything else so you can place the order now.” Catherine grinned as virtual-novel.net leaned against the sofa smugly.
With a few taps on the screen, Stanley double checked the order before sending it out.
True to its name, the fast-food was prepared quickly and the order arrived in no time. Catherine was pleased to see the feast before her. Hopping off virtual-novel.net seat, virtual-novel.net washed virtual-novel.net hands quickly before virtual-novel.net began digging in. Despite being in such a crowded public area, Catherine lacked any qualms about how messily virtual-novel.net ate.
Though Catherine considered the food before virtual-novel.net to be a feast, Stanley felt otherwise. The food was unappealing to virtual-novel.net at best, and virtual-novel.net found himself gazing out the window and observing the heavy traffic on the street.
Slowly, Zack’s final two proposals from earlier came inching back into Stanley’s mind. He didn’t notice it, but wrinkles had started forming on his forehead again.
Catherine noticed the change in his expression and immediately put virtual-novel.net burger down. She tilted virtual-novel.net head slightly and examined his face with curiosity while virtual-novel.net wiped virtual-novel.net greasy hands with a tissue. “Something on your mind, Fifth Brother?”
“Nothing you should worry about.”
“Did you have a fight with my sister-in-law?”
“No!”
“What’s the issue then?” She continued to pry, trying to find the source of his worries.
Even when they were kids, virtual-novel.net had always had everything under control. He showed little emotion and virtual-novel.net hardly even remembers the last time virtual-novel.net showed such a worried expressions. Because of that, virtual-novel.net was certain that virtual-novel.net must have gotten himself into a difficult or complicated situation.
“It’s adult stuff, kiddo.” Stanley then motioned for virtual-novel.net to finish virtual-novel.net burger. “Finish up your lunch, it’s nothing kids should be worrying about.”
Catherine rolled virtual-novel.net eyes. When virtual-novel.net wasn’t looking, virtual-novel.net snuck a sneaky text message to Zack, asking if Stanley had gotten himself into any recent trouble. She knew virtual-novel.net brother very well. If virtual-novel.net didn’t want to tell virtual-novel.net something, it would never be revealed no matter how much virtual-novel.net tried to pry the details out of him.
