"Mom, Ye Yun, Ya Rou, and I are going to town for a buffet, so we won't be back for dinner. Could you heat up the leftovers from lunch for Dad and me?"

"Okay, come back after you finish breakfast."

"Um."

Ye Yun took Lin Shuyue on a motorcycle and headed towards the town, arriving in just over ten minutes.

After arriving in town, Lin Shuyue called Lin Yarou and quickly found where Lin Yarou worked.

"Sister, Brother Yun, you're here!" Lin Yarou, with blonde hair, stood at the door waiting and called out when she saw them coming.

"Is this where you work?" Lin Shuyue asked curiously, looking around the shop entrance.

"Let's go in and see if there are any clothes that suit you," Ye Yun said.

"Oh, no need, I bought them last month," Lin Shuyue refused.

"I only bought a few pieces last month. It's normal for women to have a few more clothes. Let's go in and take a look!" With that, Ye Yun took Lin Shuyue's hand and walked into the store.

The three of them looked around the store for a while, and Ye Yun bought a set of clothes for Lin Shuyue and Lin Yarou respectively, which the latter took as a gift for their first meeting.

"These two outfits cost over three hundred yuan, which is a bit expensive," Lin Shuyue couldn't help but complain when paying the bill.

"Clothes are expensive, so it's normal for them to be a bit pricey." Ye Yun paid the money easily and then left with the two of them.

The three of them walked along the town streets. It was already dusk, and the streets were getting busier, with many people coming out to play after get off work or school.

Upon arriving at the self-service store, Ye Yun paid the bill and led the two inside.

The buffet restaurant was quite crowded; young people like to come here after get off work, mainly because it's fun to choose your own dishes.

"What kind of hot pot base would you like?" the waiter asked.

"Let's have a hot pot with two broths!" Ye Yun said.

"OK."

After the waiter left, Ye Yun said to the two women, "Go get whatever you want to eat!"

"Okay, I'll go then." Lin Yarou seemed to have been there before, so she went over herself.

Lin Shuyue was still a little reserved. She looked at Ye Yun and said, "This is my first time here. I don't know anything. Can you show me around?"

"Alright, let's go then!"

Ye Yun led Lin Shuyue around, first to the dipping sauce area, where they prepared their own dipping sauce.

Ye Yun handed Lin Shuyue a small bowl and said, "Take a look and see what flavors you want, then mix it up!"

"Oh!" Lin Shuyue carefully and nervously prepared the dipping sauce.

After she finished, she turned around and Ye Yun was nowhere to be seen, which made her a little nervous.

"Hey!" The next second, Ye Yun appeared behind her and patted her on the shoulder.

Lin Shuyue was startled and hurriedly turned around. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Yun, glared at him with dissatisfaction, and said angrily, "What are you doing? You scared me to death."

"What are you afraid of? Go back to your seat after you've finished making the dipping sauce. What are you standing here daydreaming about?" Ye Yun asked.

"I...I forgot where my seat is," Lin Shuyue said awkwardly.

Ye Yun couldn't help but chuckle and teased, "This place is so small, how could you get lost? You're so adorably silly!"

"You...you're the stupid one!" Lin Shuyue said in embarrassment.

"Alright, come with me. I'll take you to get some meat rolls first, and then we'll go back," Ye Yun said.

Lin Shuyue followed Ye Yun to the refrigerator, took out two plates of meat rolls, and then returned to her seat.

"Sister, I got two small cakes, have a taste!" Lin Yarou had already returned to her seat. She had prepared a dish and also brought some fruit and small cakes.

Lin Shuyue took it and tasted it, nodding happily, "Mmm, it's delicious! Where did you get it?"

"It's over there, I'll take you there." With that, Lin Yarou led Lin Shuyue away.

"Hey, take only a little, you won't be able to finish it," Ye Yun reminded him.

When eating at a buffet, the worst thing you can do is eat cakes and the like. They're greasy and a waste of money, and most people will be full after eating just a few.

The soup was boiling by now, so Ye Yun put the meat rolls into the pot, cooked them for a bit, and then ate them.

For a self-service hot pot meal costing around twenty yuan, the meat is naturally all processed meat, so there's not much to choose from.

"Oh, what a coincidence, you're here for the buffet too." Just then, a familiar figure appeared in front of Ye Yun.

"Sister Ya, what a coincidence!" Ye Yun exclaimed in surprise.

"It's quite a coincidence. I came here with my colleagues after get off work for a buffet, and I didn't expect to run into you," Zhang Ya said with a smile.

"Then sit here and eat!" Ye Yun suggested.

Zhang Ya shook her head and said, "No need, I've already finished eating and am about to go back. You have three bowls here, besides Lin Shuyue, who else is in them?"

"Her sister."

"Oh!" Zhang Ya revealed a meaningful expression and asked, "Since she's Lin Shuyue's sister, she must be a great beauty!"

"Yes, of course... Why are you bringing this up?"

"Nothing, I'm just amazed at how popular the man I've got my eye on is!"

"Don't talk nonsense, that's Sister Shuyue's sister, not the kind you're imagining."

"Isn't that right? Okay then. By the way, we haven't been able to get close to each other properly for the past month. I've been dreaming about you, why haven't you contacted me?" Zhang Ya stroked Ye Yun's thigh, looking at him with a charming gaze.

"Uh...it's just that there's no opportunity. You're at school all day, so even if I wanted to hang out with you, you wouldn't have time!" Ye Yun said.

Zhang Ya snorted and said, "It's not like I don't have weekends. Why don't you think about asking me out on the weekend?"

Ye Yun scratched his head awkwardly and said, "You know I've never been in a relationship and I'm not good at asking girls out."

"Sigh, alright then, looks like I'll have to take the initiative to ask you out. Just wait and see when I'm free to message you, and you can't refuse!"

"Hmm, we'll see."

"Tch, I knew you'd say that. Well, I'm off then, bye-bye." With that, Zhang Ya got up and left.

Watching Zhang Ya's tall and graceful figure disappear, Ye Yun couldn't help but feel a little itchy. He had been spending the last month with Lin Shuyue, and hadn't touched Su Yue or Zhang Ya, mainly because he was too lazy to take the initiative to contact them.

"What are you looking at? Your eyes are about to pop out." A voice came from behind.

Turning my head, I saw Lin Shuyue and Lin Yarou returning with cakes and desserts.

Ye Yun gave an awkward smile and said, "I just happened to run into Zhang Ya and we chatted for a bit."

"Hmph, you really have a lot of luck with women. You can meet beautiful women everywhere you go. Why don't you stay for a meal?" Lin Shuyue sneered.

"I kept it, but she left right after she finished eating."

"What, are you disappointed?"

"Alright, let's eat. Why are we talking about this?"

"Tch, I think you're just still hung up on her. How about I help you ask her out?" Lin Shuyue sat next to Ye Yun, constantly provoking him.
