Ke Qiao walked towards him with a clear goal in mind, and Chang Rihui was about to get up to greet him.

Suddenly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere!

Xiao Zhi ran up from behind and reached out to stop Ke Qiao, who had completely forgotten about his business.

"Keqiao sister, we still need to go ask the boss for more spare ribs!"

Ke Qiao touched her slightly flushed face in a daze, completely bewildered!

"Okay!" Ke Qiao agreed, glancing reluctantly at Chang Rihui, who was waiting for her to come over.

Ke Qiao walked away with the unfamiliar boy, and Chang Rihui, who was overjoyed, instantly felt dejected.

He thought Ke Qiao was coming to find him; he even almost thought Ke Qiao liked him...

He's gone mad!

Chang Rihui calmed down and continued eating barbecue with his family.

After what had just happened, Chang Rihui completely lost his appetite and focused on grilling meat for his family, his eyes occasionally glancing in the direction where Keqiao had disappeared.

A moment later, a commotion broke out, and Chang Rihui immediately got up and ran over.

Old Man Chang was puzzled and turned to Old Woman Chang to ask, "Does the child need to pee?"

Granny Chang tore off a handful of vegetable leaves and stuffed them into his mouth: "Eat more vegetables. During your physical exam, the doctor said you ate too much meat, so you should eat more vegetables to balance it out!"

Old Man Chang swallowed a large mouthful of vegetable leaves.

The old woman wished he were dead!

Such a big bite of vegetable leaf, and he can't even speak!

Granny Zhou nodded in satisfaction, reached for a small basket of vegetable leaves, and handed it to Granny Chang: "Eat as much as you like, there's plenty!"

In the kitchen, Ke Qiao looked embarrassed and tried to pull Xiao Zhi, who was loudly haggling with the barbecue restaurant owner, out of the kitchen.

Xiao Zhi loves to show off!

After being reminded by Keqiao, the barbecue restaurant owner immediately apologized and admitted his mistake, offering a small portion of pork belly as compensation.

Seeing that the barbecue restaurant owner was so easy to talk to, Xiao Zhi took advantage of the situation and revealed his identity as an international student, demanding a free meal.

The barbecue restaurant owner naturally disagreed. Although there were only six people in the private room upstairs, their spending power was almost equal to that of the twenty-odd people dining on the first floor.

Xiao Zhi and his family ordered a lot of expensive and exquisite dishes as soon as they arrived.

Keqiao felt his request was excessive and pulled him outside. However, Xiaozhi started making a scene because the barbecue restaurant owner refused, feeling that the owner was disrespecting him.

Ke Qiao said helplessly, "Brother Xiao Zhi, let's go back first. Mom and Dad are still waiting in the private room!"

Xiao Zhi forcefully pushed Ke Qiao away from his hand, saying, "It's none of your business, I can handle this!"

He's a promising international student, yet a small barbecue restaurant owner dares to disrespect him!

Xiao Zhi was determined to make the barbecue restaurant owner bow down to him!

Ke Qiao was suddenly pushed away forcefully, almost bumping into a waiter who was carrying a large basin of cured meat.

Chang Rihui descended like a god and offered a helping hand, supporting Ke Qiao who had fallen to one side.

The waiter narrowly avoided the situation while carrying the large basin, and breathed a long sigh of relief. He almost got scolded and had to pay money because of this bad luck!

Chang Rihui helped Ke Qiao stand up, his eyes sharp, and strode quickly toward the boy who was arguing with the barbecue restaurant owner.

Chang Ri grabbed the boy by the collar, and amidst screams, pinched his neck, pressed him against the wall, and raised her fist to threaten him.

"You want a beating!"

Xiao Zhi screamed in fright, "Keqiao sister! Boss! Come save me!"

The barbecue restaurant owner touched his nose and turned his head away as if he hadn't seen anything.

Ke Qiao sighed, walked over and pressed down on Chang Rihui's hand that was gripping Xiao Zhi's neck.

"Alright, don't bully him too much, or he'll tell on you when he gets back!"

Through this incident, Keqiao realized that although Xiao Zhi is not young, he is extremely immature.

Chang Rihui obediently let go of his hand, and Xiao Zhi immediately crawled out from under his arm, abandoned Keqiao, and ran away without looking back.

"You...you just wait..."

Ke Qiao didn't care about Xiao Zhi's hasty escape. She carefully examined Chang Rihui's hand and asked with concern, "Did you hurt yourself?"

"No!" Chang Rihui noticed that the two were behaving too intimately. His ears turned red, and he quickly snatched his hand back.

Ke Qiao was taken aback, thinking that Chang Rihui was disgusted by her intimate behavior, and was slightly disappointed.

When she was disappointed, Chang Rihui couldn't stand it and shoved his hand back at her.

"I'm feeling a bit unwell, why don't you get checked out..."

At this moment, the barbecue restaurant owner abruptly interrupted: "Gentlemen, this is a workplace. If you don't have anything else to do, please leave. We still need to prepare food for the customers outside!"

Ke Qiao felt awkward touching Chang Rihui's hand and hurriedly stuffed Chang Rihui's hand into his pocket as well.

Chang Rihui immediately grinned from ear to ear.

Barbecue restaurant owner: "..."

"You two, please get out!"

So, the two of them were kicked out of the kitchen like thieves.

Chang Rihui was in an exceptionally good mood, so much so that he was practically floating on air. He couldn't help but invite, "Keqiao, my family is having barbecue on the first floor. Would you like to join us?"

Ke Qiao agreed to everything Chang Rihui asked without hesitation: "Okay!"

Mrs. Ke, who had rushed downstairs to find her daughter after Xiao Zhi ran back to complain, listened to their conversation with a dark expression on her face.

good!

Good my ass!

"Keqiao—"

Ke Qiao shuddered reflexively and instinctively tried to take Chang Rihui's hand out of his pocket.

However, because he was in a hurry, or because Chang Rihui's hands were too big, they got stuck and he couldn't get them out.

Mrs. Ke approached step by step, her anger palpable. Ke Qiao grew increasingly anxious and stumbled, falling into Chang Rihui's arms.

"Keqiao—"

"daughter!"

Unlike Mrs. Ke's fury, Ke Jingnan, who was walking over shortly after, saw from afar that his daughter had accidentally fallen, and Chang Rihui had quickly protected her.
