Ji Qingqian raised her eyes and looked at the barbecue restaurant's signboard.
Good Buddy BBQ City.
Her face was as cold as ice.
Lu Yibei parked his new energy two-wheeled convertible sports car, which consumes ten steamed buns per 100 kilometers.
He walked over:
"Go in."
"oh."
The barbecue restaurant was quite large and was almost full.
Many male college students were wearing vests or short sleeves, drinking iced beer and eating skewers.
There were girls there, but the people sitting opposite them were almost always girls.
No wonder it's called "Good Buddies BBQ City".
Ji Qingqian had a few complaints about the store name…
Are there any seats left? Two people.
Lu Yibei gave a V sign to the shop assistant who was running back and forth.
"Yes, yes, yes, there's still one seat available."
The shop assistant answered enthusiastically, then turned around and said, "Hey, Bei! You're back at school?"
The owner and staff of this shop all know Lu Yibei, but they aren't exactly close.
Those who know Lu Yibei well know that he didn't actually go back to school; he never left at all…
Lu Yibei didn't explain further, he just nodded.
"Come over here."
As the shop assistant led the two to a corner, she looked at Ji Qingqian with amazement.
What a beautiful young girl.
Then the shop assistant, who was about the same age as the two of them, nudged Lu Yibei's shoulder and grinned mischievously: "You're quite lucky, finding such a beautiful girlfriend."
"Don't talk nonsense, she's my junior from school." Lu Yibei smiled wryly.
"I understand, I understand."
The shop assistant, with a knowing look of someone who'd been there all along, said, "She's a female student, isn't she? Everyone has one!"
His lewd gaze could be set to music.
She's just my sister. She says purple has a lot of charm.
Lu Yibei sighed, then looked earnestly at the shop assistant:
"Brother Chen, you said you were going back to your hometown to go on blind dates, how did it go?"
Brother Chen's expression changed, and he glared back angrily:
"I'm busy, I don't have time to talk to you about this. Sister-in-law, just scan the QR code to order, order whichever is more expensive, this kid obviously has money!"
“Then you must be blind,” Lu Yibei said.
This topic hurt Chen Ge's feelings, and he quickly shrugged it off.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. All the shop assistants on this street are the same. They believe everything they hear and always want to create a big news story," Lu Yibei said to Ji Qingqian.
Ji Qingqian nodded indifferently.
"Oh, this place is actually pretty good. I'll give them a five-star review on Dianping later," she thought to herself.
Ji Qingqian scanned the QR code to display the menu and asked:
"Has he never seen his white moonlight?"
Judging from the staff's attitude, it seemed like this was the first time Lu Yibei had brought a girl to this restaurant.
“Zhou Zhou doesn’t like coming to places like this with me.”
Lu Yibei said, "She doesn't take good photos. She prefers to go to Western restaurants or dessert shops, where she can easily post good photos on her WeChat Moments."
He thought about it.
Although Ji Qingqian and he had formed a close brotherly bond, she was still a girl after all, and it was indeed a bit crude of him to bring her to a barbecue restaurant on their first meeting.
“If you like that kind of place too, I’ll take you there next time,” Lu Yibei said softly.
Ji Qingqian rarely posts on WeChat Moments and isn't particularly interested in whether her photos turn out well or not.
Moreover, she grew up on horseback, drinking cow and sheep milk and eating beef and mutton.
Compared to those Western restaurants where you can order a ton of food and still not get full, this tough Northeasterner definitely feels more at home at a barbecue stall.
But Lu Yibei invited her...
"Oh." Ji Qingqian nodded.
She paused for a moment, then said, "I'd like to go to a hot pot restaurant too."
"OK."
"There are also Japanese restaurants."
"good."
"By the way, Hangzhou's xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are very famous, you have to take me to eat them."
"no problem."
"Jiahe's rice dumplings. Come with me to Jiahe sometime. I want to eat authentic Jiahe salted egg yolk and pork rice dumplings."
"It only takes about half an hour to get from Hangzhou to Jiahe by high-speed rail," said Lu Yibei.
Ji Qingqian bit her lip, deep in thought: "What else..."
"You really want to drain my wallet dry?" Lu Yibei laughed.
Ji Qingqian glanced at Lu Yibei calmly: "If you have time, I can cover all your travel expenses."
Lu Yibei: "..."
Does having money mean you can do whatever you want?
Sorry, but having money means you can do whatever you want...
"I'm going to Northeast China after that. Can you show me around?" Lu Yibei asked.
Ji Qingqian nodded: "But I don't go out often, so I don't know much about places to visit."
What about your home area?
"Okay, Harbin is beautiful in winter."
Lu Yibei teased, "Oh, so you're willing to reveal your home address now? You're not planning to hide it from me forever?"
Ji Qingqian's face was as cold as ice:
Do you know why I didn't want to tell you before?
"I'm not coming. Are you afraid I have ulterior motives and will fly over to bother you?"
Lu Yibei asked, "After you met me and found out I was a true gentleman, did you let your guard down?"
"fool."
Ji Qingqian cursed.
Because, in the past, when you went to Northeast China, you were definitely with Zhou Zhou.
Ji Qingqian didn't want to talk to Zhou Zhou, or even see her.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to control her primal rage and would just throw a punch at her the moment they met.
"So, why?" Lu Yibei asked.
"You decide for yourself." Ji Qingqian looked down to order: "What would you like to eat?"
"You decide, just order me some grilled eggplant and a few skewers of chicken wings, I'm not picky."
"Then I'll place the order."
Brother Chen quickly came to serve the dishes on Lu Yibei's table.
There were quite a few customers; the fact that Lu Yibei was able to eat so quickly must mean the owner let him skip the line.
