He couldn't help but startle, but before he could ask, Mi Zhu continued reading, "Zhuge Liang, checked in at the Mi Family Restaurant on the eleventh of November."
"Stop!" This time Chen Xi was fully awake. He snatched the bamboo slip and stared at the two names on it. After a long while, under Mi Zhu's astonished gaze, he slapped the table, heedless of the pain in his hand, and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, what was lost in the east corner is now gained in the west! Come, let's go invite these two talents!"
