Chapter 18: Slap the Fox

The night sky is filled with twinkling stars, and the ignited white light makes this night no longer gloomy and lonely.

The white smoke rising up gradually disappeared in the air, opening the door to a new world. The people inside the door gave birth to new lives. They told each other about their hardships, and the knocking of wine bottles and the boisterous laughter overlapped together. Only at this moment were they truly themselves.

"Aren't you cold wearing such thin clothes? It's late at night." Qiao Yanxin's eyes slid up and down as he looked at Pei Xiangwan.

Pei Xiangwan sat on the empty stool next to her. "How can it be thin? Look carefully, this is a sweater!" She pulled at the edge of the sweater. "Feel it and it's not thin. It's not even winter yet, and you're wrapped up like a dumpling."

Qiao Yanxin peeled off the peanut shell and said, "You know shit. It's cold at night."

She glanced at Pei Xiangwan's inner wear, which was a khaki vest that revealed a small part of her waist. Although it was just a little, anyone could see that she had abdominal muscles.

Tsk, he actually practiced his waist secretly behind her back! But it feels good, thinking of this, Qiao Yanxin touched it and said, "Hey, it's good to practice, and it's your new one..."

Jiang Shiyuan saw it all clearly from the opposite side. She pursed her lips tightly, her face as calm as ever, but her hands hidden under the table were clenched tightly, her nails digging into the flesh, leaving small crescents.

"Drink more water. Your mouth is as dry as a dry land." Pei Xiangwan interrupted her, handed Qiao Yanxin a bottle of water, and patted the pig's trotter away.

"You're quite caring."

Chen Zui walked over and said, "Since you're here, go and choose what you want to eat. I'll get you some drinks." She pointed to the freezer with skewers at the back, said a few words, took the drinks, and left in a hurry.

"I didn't expect this little shop to have so many people eating there. There are more than I thought, and the food smells pretty good." Qiao Yanxin nudged Pei Xiangwan, "You decide if it's delicious, but you've definitely never tried it."

Pei Xiangwan smiled and said, how could they not have eaten it? When they were idols, they would secretly order takeout from their agents and teammates all day long. In order to manage their figure, they couldn't eat anything, so barbecue became their most wanted food and they wished they could have it every day.

Pei Xiangwan wondered if they were living well in that world, and what her situation was like, or whether she had been replaced as well.

She looked up at the white smoke that was flying everywhere. It covered Chen Zui's face like smog. In the hazy light, her smile slowly emerged. It was a smile from the heart. This was the happiest moment for her, being with her precious family...

"Let's go, let's go. I want to eat a lot of meat." Qiao Yanxin woke up Pei Xiangwan who had been in a daze.

"good."

Pei Xiangwan stood up and said to the little fox who had been sitting quietly, "Let's go."

The charm that Jiang Shiyuan exudes is noble and elegant. She is like a goddess in an ancient temple, even when she is not wearing those expensive and exquisite diamond-studded dresses or precious jewelry.

She was wearing just an ordinary black V-neck sweater with an off-white shirt underneath, and the cuffs were folded up, revealing her slender, flour-like skin. Butterflies landed on the back of her hand, listening to the beating of her blood vessels. Every movement she made was out of place here.

The green beads collided with each other, and the boisterous laughter disappeared. Only the subtle sound of the beads hitting each other was left. The sound was like a string of small bells being gently shaken, so melodious that people wanted to listen to it all the time, but the sound stopped.

"You're not happy."

Pei Xiangwan lowered his head slightly and found that Jiang Shiyuan had come to him, and Qiao Yanxin had gone to the freezer at some point.

"No, why am I unhappy? Jiang Jiang, you're overthinking it. Let's go and choose something to eat. But can you eat it?"

Jiang Shiyuan looked at her with clear eyes and poked Pei Xiangwan's cheeks a few times with his fingers. "I just know that you look unhappy, and I am also a human being, why can't I eat."

Pei Xiangwan quickly pulled up the fox's paw, which was about to become furry and mad. "Okay, okay, let's go choose. Yan Xin has already chosen."

Qiao Yanxin was holding a plate full of skewers and was a little shocked that the two were still here when she had already picked out her own. "Go get them now, why are you still here after I've already picked out your own? I really don't understand you two."

"Let's go, Jiang Jiang."

Jiang Shiyuan didn't continue the topic. Pei Xiangwan obviously didn't want to talk about it, and she wouldn't ask any more questions. Everyone has things they don't want to talk about, including her.

But this secret is so obvious, why doesn't the person in front of me know it...

Jiang Shiyuan turned to look at Pei Xiangwan who was standing beside him, only to see her pick up the iron plate. The light in her eyes was brighter than the lights on the ceiling. Was she so excited?

During the selection process, Jiang Shiyuan felt that Pei Xiangwan did not look like she was eating for the first time. She gave the impression that she ate it very often. She knew the names of these foods and knew what was delicious and what was not. Jiang Shiyuan's most disliked feeling came back.

No, no, no, no again. She doesn't like being manipulated like a rag doll. She wants to make her own decisions, decide everything. She is tired of hearing those so-called good things, and she doesn't want others to help her decide.

Pei Xiangwan saw Jiang Shiyuan pick up the string of bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms with a small piece of green pepper in the middle. This thing always tastes spicy. She thought of Jiang Shiyuan who couldn't eat spicy food at all and reminded him.

"This is spicy, ginger."

When Jiang Shiyuan heard her say this, he frowned, pouted his lips and shouted, "I want to eat this!" and put it directly on the plate.

What kind of little fox is this? It’s so cute. Let her choose. Jiang Shiyuan thought she was very intimidating, so Pei Xiangwan never said it was not delicious again and let her choose as she pleased.

However, it was not what she thought. Her angry look had no deterrent effect and only made people want to continue bullying her. Pei Xiangwan thought she was cute and let her do whatever she wanted, as long as she didn't waste the time.

Otherwise, spank the fox!

"Is there any wine? I don't want to drink, Xiangwan, wuwuwu..." Pei Xiangwan had just sat back in her seat when Qiao Yanxin grabbed her arm and listened to her whimpering.

Pei Xiangwan kept shaking her arms, but Qiao Yanxin was like a dog-skin plaster, refusing to let go. "Let me go. Look, they're all in that cabinet. Just go get them."

Qiao Yanxin then raised her head and asked in disbelief, "Can I really go get it?"

"Well, it's not like you won't pay." Pei Xiangwan leaned close to her ear and said, "Take it. Remember to check the content I sent you on your phone."

Qiao Yanxin didn't understand Pei Xiangwan's mysterious look, so she nodded and went to get some wine. However, there was only beer here, which tasted bland. She sighed sadly and took out her phone to check what Pei Xiangwan had sent, why was he being so mysterious.

Qiao Yan was shocked when he saw that moment. He turned his head to look at Pei Xiangwan who was sitting behind him. The two looked at each other tacitly and then looked away.

"You and Qiao Yanxin have a really good relationship. You've never had a fight."

Jiang Shiyuan calmly picked up the cup of water on the table and took a sip. However, the water was still so hot after being there for a while that her tongue felt numb. She immediately put the cup back on the table and stared at it angrily, as if she wanted the cup to speak and apologize to her.

Her already red lips now seemed a little redder than before, and her eyes were like the stars in the sky reflected on the surface of a lake, with ripples on the surface of the lake blocking out the shining stars.

Pei Xiangwan opened the bottle of mineral water and said, "Drink this, Jiang Jiang. Drink the water in the cup later."

Jiang Shiyuan glanced at her, took the bottle of water and drank a few sips. The water seemed to have magical powers, which made her anger gradually disappear and she gradually forgot about this unpleasant incident.

"Yan Xin is a nice person." Seeing that Jiang Shiyuan had returned to normal, Pei Xiangwan responded to what the other party had said before.
