Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 1134: Chapter 1137: Sinister Intentions (Part 1)

The two of them, under the waiter’s guidance, went to a table for two.

The whole place, compared to the restaurants back in Chuzhou City, was honestly crowded to the point of being a mess, or you could say, downright shabby.

But even so, people were still pouring in like a tide, and no one was yelling or complaining.

When he first came over, the other shops nearby had way fewer people.

Looks like this place really is famous.

Because it wasn’t just people from the mainland here, there were even more locals from Xiangjiang.

Of course, there were also a few Foreigners like the blonde girl.

Right, up to now he still didn’t know what this girl was called.

Earlier, it was because there was no need to get to know her—he felt the world was so big, the two of them basically wouldn’t have any overlap.

Besides, even if the world weren’t that big, Lin Xi still didn’t need to go out of his way to meet people.

In this world, it’s always others who come to meet him.

Okay, that might be a bit too absolute!

If it’s a woman above an eight out of ten, he’s still willing to take the initiative.

"Hello, my name is Karen, what’s your name?" The blonde girl saw Lin Xi spacing out a bit and took the initiative to ask.

Lin Xi was stunned again. Alright then.

At this point, it would feel wrong not to at least exchange names, and it wouldn’t fit the hospitable, friendly nature of Huaxia people.

"Lin Xi!" Lin Xi said.

Karen’s eyes lit up. Don’t judge her by her broken Chinese; she was actually very passionate about Huaxia culture.

That passion also meant that whenever she had free time, she’d go study Huaxia culture.

"That’s a good name!" she praised.

Lin Xi gave her a curious look. So her Chinese level is actually pretty high?

Only, Karen didn’t explain why the name was good, she just repeated several times that it was a good name.

Lin Xi, "...."

Looks like this Foreigner called Karen wasn’t the Chinese master he’d imagined.

In reality, Karen was exactly as he’d guessed.

Although she loved Chinese, she didn’t have that much time to study it. Plus, she’d never formally studied it, and she didn’t have a teacher.

Her current level was pretty much entirely self-taught.

Still, she was quite impressive as a person.

Chinese is, among all the languages in the world, arguably the most meaning-packed written system, and also one of the hardest languages to learn.

Five thousand years of cultural heritage isn’t something the short history of Foreigners can compare to.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Karen also felt a bit awkward.

The instant Lin Xi said his name, she really did feel it was a very nice name.

But what exactly was good about it, where did the "good" lie?

She couldn’t put it into words!

That was weird!

She figured, at the end of the day, it was still because her cultural level wasn’t high enough.

Next, after the two of them each ordered the house specialties here, Karen took the initiative to ask again, "You’re from the mainland?"

Back at the convention center, she’d heard those two women say so.

Lin Xi nodded and didn’t say much.

It wasn’t that he was being arrogant; there really wasn’t much to say.

Karen didn’t mind Lin Xi’s attitude and continued, "Are you here in Xiangjiang for travel?"

Lin Xi thought about it. That was one way to put it, so he nodded again.

"It’s my first time here, do you have any places to recommend?" Karen’s face lit up with joy.

In her eyes, Lin Xi was a Huaxia native.

And Xiangjiang also belonged to Huaxia.

So asking him shouldn’t be wrong.

Honestly, it’s like when you’re abroad and you see a Foreigner, and you just ask them what’s fun, what’s good to eat around here.

But you’d never stop to think that maybe they actually have no clue, because in your mind, "You’re from this country."

Lin Xi shook his head. "It’s my first time here too, I don’t know where’s fun!"

Karen’s face showed mild surprise. She hadn’t expected Lin Xi not to know.

After that, the two of them slipped into a you-ask-one-sentence-I-answer-one-sentence rhythm.

This made the people nearby feel super awkward just watching.

If it weren’t for the fact that Lin Xi didn’t look easy to mess with, someone probably would’ve spoken up already.

And Karen didn’t look easy to mess with either.

She even looked harder to mess with than Lin Xi.

Plus, she was a Foreigner, and in Xiangjiang, their status was still higher than your average person.

Servile mindset!

People in Xiangjiang were even more servile than mainlanders.

Mainlanders used to be really bad about that.

But as the country has grown stronger, it’s gotten a lot better these past few years.

The place was really packed, and the chefs here were limited.

So they waited about half an hour before their order finally came up.

Everyone else had waited about the same time.

Logically, with a wait this long, a bunch of people should’ve already caused a fuss.

But in this shop, aside from chatting, the customers all seemed super patient.

"Hmm?"

Lin Xi took a bite.

It really was pretty good.

Of course, compared to his own cooking, it was still a notch below.

"A notch below"—he almost never said that when eating out.

Which meant this place really was good.

Karen also took a bite, and a look of enjoyment appeared on her face.

"Five more bowls!" Lin Xi said to a passing waiter who was serving wontons.

The moment he said that, quite a few people were stunned.

You haven’t even finished your current bowl!

And five more bowls—can you even finish them?

The portions at this wonton shop were huge.

Karen looked up and froze for a second, then quickly shook her head. "One bowl is enough for me!"

In her mind, of the five extra bowls Lin Xi ordered, at least two were meant for her.

But one bowl was enough for her.

No matter how delicious something is, once you’re full and keep eating, it won’t go down, it’ll even make you sick.

"Sir, did you call it wrong?" A trace of surprise flashed across the waiter’s face.

Lin Xi shook his head. "No, that’s right!"

Having a big appetite is such a pain.

Every time he ate, people always thought he’d made a mistake.

Over the next hour or so, almost every time a bowl of wontons arrived, Lin Xi finished it in under five minutes.

He ate a total of six bowls.

The people who still hadn’t left and had been watching this whole time, including Karen, all looked a bit incredulous.

Six bowls!

And with portions that big—people who could manage two bowls were probably already rare.

And from what they could see, Lin Xi’s stomach wasn’t that big.

It didn’t even look like it could fit two bowls, so how did it hold six?

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes and only heard it through the grapevine, she definitely wouldn’t have believed it.

After Lin Xi paid, under many astonished gazes, the two of them walked out of the shop.

Karen wanted to pay Lin Xi back for her bowl, but Lin Xi refused.

Even if he didn’t want too much overlap with Karen, he could still treat a girl to a bowl of wontons.

Besides, it was just a bit of money.

After exchanging a few more words, they went their separate ways.

Only, Lin Xi had barely walked a few steps before he froze for a moment.

Because he sensed that someone was following behind Karen.

And the aura on that person did not feel well-intentioned.
