Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Sheng subconsciously looked up and realized that the person who spoke was none other than Liu Qianqian.

Liu Qianqian had nothing to do today, so she decided to have dinner here with her good friend.

But she never expected that she would run into her best friend's younger brother while eating at this barbecue restaurant.

Especially since there was a pretty girl sitting opposite them.

Without even thinking, Liu Qianqian guessed that this girl was definitely the one Jiang Sheng liked.

Sister Mengmeng probably doesn't know yet, the young man is secretly dating someone outside, if Sister Mengmeng finds out...

Sigh, puppy love is such a complicated thing!

Upon seeing that it was Liu Qianqian, Jiang Sheng didn't think much of it and greeted her with a smile.

"Sister Qianqian, you've come to eat with your friends too?"

Liu Qianqian nodded, then subtly glanced at Xu Jianian for a moment, her heart filled with uncontrollable amazement.

This girl is quite pretty, and her mannerisms clearly indicate that she comes from a wealthy family.

In an instant, Liu Qianqian came to this conclusion.

She'll have to talk to Sister Mengmeng about it when she goes to work tomorrow.

At this age, boys are naturally interested in girls and are full of youthful vigor. We mustn't let Jiang Sheng do anything to hurt a girl.

Thinking this, Liu Qianqian smiled and nodded at Jiang Sheng.

"Yeah, I didn't have anything planned for tonight, and the power was out at home, so I met up with some friends to have dinner here. I didn't expect to run into Xiaosheng."

Jiang Sheng smiled sheepishly, then quickly introduced the two parties to each other.

“This is my friend Xu Jianian,” Jiang Sheng said, then smiled at Xu Jianian again, “This is my older sister’s colleague and good friend, Sister Qianqian.”

When Xu Jianian saw Liu Qianqian, he was initially wary.

After learning that the girl in front of him was just a friend of Jiang Sheng's sister, he felt relieved and gave Liu Qianqian a shy smile.

"Hello, Sister Qianqian. I'm Jiang Sheng's friend. We're having dinner together today."

Looking at the polite young girl in front of her, Liu Qianqian smiled and nodded, giving the girl a perfect score on behalf of her good friend.

She's beautiful, polite, and comes from a good family; in every way, she's a perfect match for Jiang Sheng.

"Since Sister Qianqian is here, why don't you share a table with us and we can eat together?"

Jiang Sheng offered his suggestion, but Liu Qianqian just smiled and waved her hand.

"No need!"

Liu Qianqian smiled and took her female companion's arm, saying, "My friends and I have already made plans to have dinner and chat together. It wouldn't be good for us to disturb you two young people eating together. Let's do it another day. Sister Qianqian is waiting for Xiaosheng to treat us!"

As soon as Liu Qianqian said this, Jiang Sheng realized that she had misunderstood the relationship between him and Xu Jianian.

Unfortunately, the more you try to explain such things, the more unclear they become.

Jiang Sheng could only smile and nod without explaining.

"Alright then, Sister Qianqian, have a good meal and drinks tonight. My older sister and I will treat you to dinner another day!"

Liu Qianqian smiled and nodded, then smiled and curved her lips at Xu Jianian.

"Little girl, our Xiaosheng is a rare and wonderful young man. You two enjoy your meal, we'll be leaving now!"

Xu Jianian's face was already slightly flushed, and when she heard Liu Qianqian's teasing voice, she nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

The blush on Xu Jianian's face gradually faded only after the girls had gone far away, but she was still a little embarrassed.

Jiang Sheng, who was standing nearby, knew that Liu Qianqian had misunderstood the relationship between the two.

Seeing Xu Jianian's somewhat embarrassed expression, she could only smile helplessly and say apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Qianqian is straightforward and says whatever comes to mind, please don't take it to heart."

Hearing Jiang Sheng's words, Xu Jianian felt both happy and disappointed.

But she still nodded gently: "It's okay. After all, she's my sister's friend. Besides, we're just having dinner together and we didn't invite anyone else. Anyone else would have misunderstood."

The other party said it so frankly, and Jiang Sheng was taken aback at first, but then he smiled and nodded.

"I'm glad you don't mind," the owner said, already serving several plates of prepared cold dishes. "Let's have something simple to eat first, and we can chat while we eat."

Xu Jianian nodded, and the two chatted occasionally, maintaining a relatively harmonious atmosphere.

As for Jiang Sheng, he felt a little resentful of himself for acting rashly.

In this day and age, a woman's reputation is taken very seriously.

Su Ruoxue is a carefree girl who doesn't think about such things.

But now that Jiang Sheng is having dinner alone with Xu Jianian, he realizes that it's one thing if others don't know about their meal together.

If others found out about this, and some malicious people added fuel to the fire with their words, it would greatly damage Xu Jianian's reputation.

That's what he thought, but since the two were already eating together, Jiang Sheng could only tell himself not to overthink it, and to quickly finish his meal with Xu Jianian and safely take her home; then his mission would be complete.

The meal went fairly well, and it was through this opportunity that Jiang Sheng discovered that the girl in front of him not only had excellent academic performance, but also had her own unique insights and thoughts on literature.

Jiang Sheng was originally quite interested in literature, and then he was reborn into another life.

He and Xu Jianian naturally hit it off more and more as they ate and chatted, and even as the barbecue was about to end, he was still a little reluctant to leave.

At this time, the barbecue stalls are busiest and most crowded.

Although it was already past 11 p.m., Yanjing City was at its liveliest at night, especially since Xu Jianian had chosen a night market street, which was bustling with people.

By this time, Liu Qianqian and her best friend had almost finished eating and were about to leave when they realized that Jiang Sheng and Xu Jianian had not yet left.

Seeing the two getting along so well, Liu Qianqian smiled knowingly and went to the barbecue stall owner.

"Boss, the bill, please!"

"Okay!"

Liu Qianqian and her best friend split the money and gave it to the barbecue stall owner. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped.

"Boss, what did those two young men order? How much did it cost in total? I'll pay for them!"

The barbecue stall owner nodded and said a number.

Liu Qianqian generously took out some banknotes from her wallet and stuffed them into the hand of the barbecue stall owner.
