Chapter 45 - Barbecue (1)

Ch.45 Barbecue (1)

When Ye Xi was just a young teenage girl, there was a big fat cat that always came to her yard uninvited, staying at the corner of the orphanage. No one acknowledged it, so it never left. Ye Xi liked the cat’s cute, chubby look, and occasionally fed it. However, after the headmaster took it in, feeding it in her stead, Mr. Fatty Cat began its daily life of eating more than it slept. It woke late and slept late just to bother people.

Ironically, it was Ye Xi who was bothered the most by it.

Her past was so unbearable to recall, that Ye Xi eventually developed a lasting trauma from it.

“Cat lovers need not raise their own pet, just as someone who likes soda needs not to drink it every day either,” Ye Xi told herself, although she had contrived a somewhat unfitting comparison.

“What should we eat?” Nan Gonghai was quite absentminded, so he wasn’t paying much attention when he asked.

“Hmm… Let’s have a barbecue. All you can eat,” Ye Xi suggested.

“Okay.”

The two walked alongside the road, and easily found an all-you-can-eat restaurant.

As they entered, a waitress greeted them right away. ”Welcome! Table for how many?”

“Six,” Nan Gonghai said. He was prepared.

Ye Xi glanced at him and questioned his counting skills. It should’ve been five, but she didn’t say anything for the sake of the young boy’s fragile self-esteem. She simply nodded in agreement.

“Alright, please come this way,” The waitress led them to a six-person table, and warned them that they’d have to pay in advance.

After confirming the costーand making sure that she had enough cashーYe Xi handed the table’s sum to the waitress.

Shortly after, Ye Xi and Nan Gonghai went to pick up barbecue ingredients first.

“If they come right when the food is done grilling, wouldn’t we have wasted our time just cooking?” Nan Gonghai asked while gesturing, as he threw a piece of meat on the tabletop grill.

“Well, I don’t think they’d fight us for the food. After all, they’re all very… proper,” Ye Xi said, repressing her urge to blurt out “Campus F4”.

Nan Gonghai smiled. “To everybody else, they really do just look like a random group of rather good looking guys.”

The boy was also apart of F4… Was it really okay for him to talk about them like that?

Ye Xi gently smiled without giving a response. She didn’t know about the other two, but if it was just Wei Shenglan, she truly believed that he wasn’t the type of person to take credit for someone else’s hard work.

And just as Nan Gonghai feared, the others arrived just as the food had finished grilling.

What a coincidence.

It wasn’t just the three of them, though. They also had an attractive girl tagging alongーMiss Pure Moonlight.

ShyShy, CuteCute, AiLi-Chan, and Pure Moonlightーwhat an interesting group. They were the perfect combination for stirring things up!

Ye Xi glanced at Nan Gonghai, who didn’t look the least bit surprised about Pure Moonlight’s arrival. He met Ye Xi’s gaze for a short moment and smiled even brighter.

What was that supposed to mean? What is he thinking?

He’s just begging for trouble to happen!

The young ones always want to do something big…

…but I won’t let you succeed.

And while we’re at it, is it really okay for a high school student to have such a weird personality?

This trashy author honestly has something wrong with her head.

“You’re here, sit!” Nan Gonghai shuffled over to make room.

Ye Xi greeted the group with a smile and proceeded to move in as well.

Their table was long, and rectangular, with two long benches that stretched across either side of the table. It was big enough for exactly three people.

Wei Shenglan took a seat beside Ye Xiーnaturallyーand Bing Yiyi sat beside him.

Shang Guanfeng and the remaining member of the group sat next to Nan Gonghai.
