Ji Qingqian's evaluation of the taste of this restaurant:
"The meat is good."
The fact that the "Qiqihar Barbecue Restaurant" located in Jiangnan could be described in this way by Ms. Ji, who has Northeastern blood and is a major cattle and sheep farmer.
It can be said that I have no regrets in this life.
"...My deskmate."
While chewing her meat noisily, Chen Jingyi calmly introduced the short-haired young man she had just met to the two onlookers: "He was reassigned at the end of last semester."
Lu Yibei hummed in agreement:
"I've never heard you mention that before."
"Ridiculous, do you expect me to tell you everything?"
Shen Jingyi complained, "You didn't even tell me you were dating someone."
Lu Yibei thought for a moment:
"Chen Jingyi, is your analogy...?"
"...It's just an analogy! An analogy!"
It was only then that Chen Jingyi realized what was happening: "Don't overthink it!"
Lu Yibei nodded.
Shen Jingyi frowned, feeling that her brother was still overthinking things.
Rather than let him guess at some strange plot, Shen Jingyi simply explained it herself:
“I’m the class representative, and he often asks me questions about schoolwork… so we have a pretty good relationship. You’ve heard him say that he got in the top 50 this time, whereas he couldn’t even get in the top 150 last semester.”
Lu Yibei asked, "...So, shave your head?"
The calming instrument fell silent for a moment:
"He was incredibly childish. Before the midterms, he insisted on making a bet that if he couldn't beat me, he'd cut off all his hair. Hilarious, how could he possibly beat me? Hilarious, how could he possibly beat me… But unbelievably, he actually kept his own bet…"
As he spoke, he muttered an additional sentence:
"It's absolutely hideous."
Lu Yibei then asked:
"What if you lose?"
"I can't lose."
Chen Jingyi was calm and confident, but after speaking, her eyes darted around: "So I forgot what he wanted me to do after I lost."
Lu Yibei nodded and looked at Chen Jingyi.
In his view, Shen Jingyi dipped the pork belly in sauce and then lowered her head to eat it.
For Ji, who had improved her skills while eating with the student council duo, she was more interested in the "grilling" process than the eating itself.
She flipped the sizzling, golden-brown slice of meat over, glanced at Chen Jingyi, and said indifferently:
"Jingyi".
"…Um?"
When did you start wearing a ponytail?
Chen Jingyi's gaze drifted: "I felt it was getting too long a while ago, so I got it fixed... It's a school regulation."
"Hmm." Ji Qingqian remained silent.
Lu Yibei and Shen Jingyi began to chew and eat the meat together.
Ji Qingqian has never been a woman of many words.
For a moment, their table was completely silent except for the sizzling sound.
After swallowing the meat in his mouth, Lu Yibei asked again:
Does he have a girlfriend?
"No."
Chen Jingyi answered decisively, then said with displeasure, "Why are you asking this?"
"I'm just curious about his relationship with that girl from earlier."
Lu Yibei smiled and said, "Aren't you curious?"
"...I can't believe it."
Shen Jingyi looked at her brother speechlessly: "Don't you have anything better to do? You actually think about such pointless things! I have his WeChat, ask him yourself if you want to know."
Lu Yibei smiled, his eyes narrowing:
"I'm not helping you."
"...What do you mean by helping me!"
After a moment of girlish anxiety, Chen Jingyi's voice sharpened: "How childish!"
After wiping his mouth with a tissue, Lu Yibei then wiped the oil stains off his fingers.
"What would you like to drink, milk tea?"
"...Which one?"
"You name the one, that's the one."
"Then I want to drink Snow King!"
Ji Qingqian also chimed in:
"I want…"
Lu Yibei pointed at his girlfriend and said, "Shut up, you don't want to."
The girlfriend immediately showed an unhappy expression.
"I've already had some today."
Lu Yibei said, "I can only drink one cup a day at most."
"…snort."
Ji Qingqian continued grilling the meat silently.
Stingy North.
No matter what he said, she decided to ignore him for the next five minutes... no, eight minutes!
"But I'll reluctantly let you slurp a couple of bites."
Lu Yibei said smugly, "Come on, do you have any recommendations?"
Ji Qingqian immediately raised her fair face again, her displeasure vanishing instantly.
Lu Yibei placed her order quickly and then got up again:
"I'll go get it."
Ji Qingqian asked curiously, "Don't you offer delivery?"
"It's just a few steps, but the delivery fee is three yuan," Lu Yibei said.
“Sister, let him walk a few steps, he won’t die,” Shen Jingyi said.
At that moment, Lu Yibei was standing right behind Shen Jingyi. Upon hearing this, he clenched his fists and pressed them hard against her temples.
"Aaaaaah...it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
"Do you know you were wrong?!"
"Let go!"
This looks really painful; you can try it yourself if you don't believe me—so Lu Yibei didn't torture Shen Jingyi excessively.
Amidst Shen Jingyi's curses of "bastard," Lu Yibei walked towards the door:
"There are quite a lot of people ordering, so you may have to wait a while."
Chen Jingyi rubbed her temples hard, her face contorted in pain.
"You can just wait there until the sea dries up and the rocks crumble!"
She watched her brother leave before turning back...
Good heavens!
Qingqian threw the meat that was originally meant for her brother into her bowl.
"Studying is hard work, so eat more."
Calming device: ...
She silently picked up a piece of meat, chewed it, and then sat down next to Ji Qingqian with her bowl in hand.
