"Dad, when did such a beautiful restaurant open here?" Outside the restaurant, Palmer looked at it with some surprise. He remembered that he had been to this corner when he came to Aden Square last time, and there did not seem to be such a restaurant here.
"Big Sister! Delicious food!" Pabor, who was standing to the side, paused for three seconds, clapped his little hands and walked towards the glass window. He lifted his foot to step in, but his little head bumped into the glass with a thud. He took two steps back, raised his little hands and stared at the glass window, completely stunned, as if he had encountered something he couldn't understand.
"Aiyo! Pabor, are you alright!" Jergi quickly went over and squatted down. He was a little worried, but he couldn't help but laugh. This little guy was so adorable. How did he end up bumping into the crystal?
The customers sitting by the restaurant window were startled by the loud thud, but when they saw that it was a cute little child who had bumped into them, they couldn't help but laugh. The child's silly and adorable appearance was quite endearing.
"Da…Dad, the air is being blocked." Pabor gestured with his hand, completely unable to understand.
"It's not that the air is blocked, it's a transparent crystal, a very large piece of transparent crystal." Jergi was also a little amused. The little guy had never seen such a large piece of crystal before, and children's vision is also smaller. He took his little hand and took two steps forward, gently pressing it on the crystal, and explained with a smile, "Can you feel it? This is crystal, completely transparent, so we can see the people inside, and they can see us too."
Pabor touched the cool glass, tapped it twice, and nodded happily, saying, "Crystal! Crystal! Big Sister!"
"It seems our little Pabor is really looking forward to eating delicious food and playing with older sister." Harrison laughed, then patted Palmer's shoulder and said with a smile, "And what about our little math prince Palmer? Are you also looking forward to meeting our cute little sister?"
"If she really is a cute little sister, I wouldn't mind teaching her some math." Palmer said coolly, arms crossed.
"Great, keep up that cool vibe. Confident men are the most attractive." Harrison nodded in satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go in and get in line. Boss Mai's business is getting better and better."
"With Boss Mai's cooking skills, it would be hard for the business not to be good. I guess we'll have to eat out from now on." Jergi took Pabor's hand and followed him into the restaurant.
"Hmm, is this a new dish?" As soon as he entered the restaurant, Jergi's eyes lit up. The aroma of beans in the air was competing with the smell of Rou Jia Mo. Moreover, at a glance, almost every customer had a white porcelain bowl in front of them, containing a piece of tender white stuff drizzled with golden-red sugar syrup or golden-red sauce and sprinkled with pickled vegetables and dried shrimp. This dish wasn't available when he came to eat yesterday.
"Brother, what's this?" Harrison, ever the friendly one, asked a young man sitting by the door as soon as he entered.
"Boss Mai just launched a new dish tonight, tofu pudding, and it's absolutely delicious! I highly recommend you try the savory one." the young man said, giving a thumbs up.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. The sweet one is the way to go! One bite, and I've discovered the true meaning of life!" said the man sitting opposite him, looking completely captivated.
"You two little guys are lucky. Looks like we're in for a treat tonight." Harrison didn't join in their argument and led Palmer to the back of the line.
Upon entering the restaurant, Palmer's gaze was immediately drawn to the murals on the walls: the majestic city of Luo Du, the grand and imposing Dragon Island, the fairyland-like Wind Forest...there were also knights fighting on horseback, dragons soaring with outstretched wings, and mages chanting spells. Everything was so novel, as if a new world had unfolded in front him.
"Rainbow fried rice… Big Sister…" Pabor clapped his hands and looked around, as if looking for something.
Two adorable children entered the restaurant, attracting a lot of attention. Because of Amy, many regular customers were more tolerant and fond of the children, especially the little boy with the mushroom haircut. His expressions and movements were adorable, and he kept calling out to the older sister. He looked so cute.
"Big Sister! Big Sister! There!" Pabor's gaze quickly fell on Amy behind the counter. After a moment of surprise, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and called out happily.
"Hmm?" Palmer followed the gaze with some anticipation, trying to maintain a cool expression. However, when his gaze landed on Amy, he froze for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "It's you! What are you doing here?"
"This is my family's restaurant, so I'm here." Amy looked at Palmer, a little surprised, but her expression was much calmer than his. She nodded seriously.
"But... why is this your family's restaurant?" Palmer still seemed a little hard to accept.
"I'm not really sure either, may be it's because my Daddy owns the restaurant." Amy replied after thinking for a moment.
"This explanation…" Palmer felt like his IQ had been hit hard. He looked at Amy, swallowed hard, and forced himself to calm down.
The fear he felt from being dominated by her in class that day had mostly dissipated after spending the whole day at the horse farm, but seeing Amy now made him feel tense again.
"Huh? You two know each other?" Jergi and Harrison exclaimed almost simultaneously in surprise. Jergi had originally planned to bring the children over for a nice meal and may be even make some friends, but it turned out the two kids already knew each other.
"She's the student who audited the class." Palmer said, looking at Amy with a somewhat complicated expression.
Jergi and Harrison's expressions immediately became somewhat strange. Two days ago, Palmer was completely outmatched in arithmetic by an auditing student, which greatly discouraged him, so he went home shut himself to study.
He brought his son out today specifically to relax, but he never expected to run into this mess. Just before they came in, Palmer had seriously said he was going to teach the little sister math. He wanted to laugh but had to force himself to hold it in. This has really put his son in a difficult position.
"So this little boy is Jergi's son? No wonder his features looked familiar. But the size difference is too big. It's hard to tell them apart when they're standing together." Mai Ge also peeked over and remembered Palmer, but he didn't expect him to be Jergi's eldest son whom he kept talking about. The cute little boy with the mushroom haircut next to him must be the second son.
"Big Sister, I want a hug." Pabor swayed towards the counter, opened his little arms, and said in a childish voice.
"Don't you know how much you weigh?" Amy said, sitting on the high stool and looking down at Pabor.
