Pei Donglai nodded.
"Captain, I told my sister about my recovery today, and she was thrilled. When she found out you were the one who saved me, she insisted I treat you to a meal tomorrow at noon. Of course, that's what I want to do as well."
"A meal isn't necessary. It was nothing, so don't worry about it."
Pei Donglai's eyes reddened.
"It may have been nothing to you, Captain, but to my sister and me, it was an incredible kindness. Please, Captain, give me this opportunity!"
Seeing the hopeful expression on Pei Donglai's face, Lin Xiao couldn't bear to disappoint him. He sighed in resignation.
"Can you cook?"
Pei Donglai nodded profusely.
"Yes, Captain, I can!"
"Alright then. We'll have lunch at your place tomorrow. Just the two of us, we can have a few drinks."
Seeing Lin Xiao agree, Pei Donglai nodded excitedly.
"Oh, right, Pei Donglai. There's something I've been meaning to ask you."
"Ask away, Captain!"
