On Saturday afternoon, Mu Yan made time to drive Lan Shuang to the barbecue restaurant to meet up with her classmates.
Everyone had a day off on Saturday, so the barbecue restaurant's business was much better. Looking through the transparent windows, it was full of people and there were almost no empty tables.
After parking the car, Mu Yan asked, "Did you book a private room in advance?"
"I've booked it." Lan Shuang waved her phone in front of him, then unbuckled her seatbelt and said, "I'm leaving now."
Mu Yan nodded: "Call me when it's almost over and I'll pick you up."
"good."
Lan Shuang opened the car door and got out. Just then, a few people got out of the car in front. She looked at each other and found that they were the class monitor and the sports committee member.
"Good afternoon."
Lan Shuang said hello and walked over. Cui Hao quickly raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute!"
Lan Shuang: “???”
She stopped in confusion, looked at the squad leader and then at those people, and found that they also had confused expressions on their faces, and the look in their eyes when they looked at her was a little strange.
Lan Shuang looked herself up and down and found that what she was wearing was fine.
Cui Hao frowned and looked at her seriously for a few seconds, then asked the person next to him, "Old man, do you feel that Xiaolan is different today?"
The gym member shook his head blankly, then nodded hesitantly, "It seems like something is different, but I can't put my finger on it."
Cui Hao clapped his hands, "You didn't even notice this?"
As they were talking, a black car pulled up at the door. Qin Zhou got out and saw everyone standing there. He raised his eyebrows curiously and asked, "What are you doing? Interrogating?"
She was wearing a college-style shirt and a small suit today, with a blue miniskirt underneath. She looked very youthful and energetic. When you got closer, you could see that she had light makeup on. She looked as bright and beautiful as a street model.
Many passers-by looked over here.
Cui Hao laughed and said, "Hey, where did this beautiful lady come from?"
Qin Zhou walked over to Lan Shuang and hooked his arm around her neck, "Eh—"
She let go of her hand and looked up and down, and said in surprise: "Xiaolan, you have lost a lot of weight."
Cui Hao echoed, "That's right, that's exactly what I wanted to say. Didn't you notice that Xiaolan has lost a lot of weight?"
"It's not that exaggerated. I've lost weight." Lan Shuang smiled and tugged at the corner of her clothes and said, "It's still XXL."
Cui Hao shook his head. "I've really lost a lot of weight, and this outfit makes me look slimmer too. It seems the effect has been doubled."
Lan Shuang wore a loose black shirt today. There was no extra decoration, but the details of the tailoring were very thoughtful. It did not make her look bloated and covered her flesh.
The pants on her lower body just cover the lines of her legs, making her legs look very long and straight, which maximizes the visual effect and makes her look naturally thinner.
"Is Xiaolan trying to lose weight?" The other girls came over curiously, wanting to ask her for advice. Lan Shuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Let's go inside and talk about it. Standing on the street looks like we're going to start a fight."
Everyone entered the barbecue restaurant with smiles on their faces. Lan Shuang showed the order to the waiter, who immediately led them to the large private room on the second floor. There were nearly thirty of them this time, and there were two tables in the large room, with boys and girls sitting together.
They huddled together and started ordering food in a lively manner.
Lan Shuang smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. We've finally come out once, and we must make sure everyone returns satisfied."
"Then I won't be polite." Qin Zhou took the menu and said skillfully, "First, we'll have thirty skewers of beef and mutton, then twenty skewers of chicken wings, and grilled oysters..."
"Hey, do you want to drink?"
Cui Hao asked at the table, and everyone looked at Lan Shuang. Lan Shuang thought for a moment and said, "We're all underage, so drink less. There's one dozen per table, and you can order whatever juice you like."
"good!"
Everyone cheered and started studying happily.
The biggest advantage of barbecue is that the food is served quickly. We didn’t have to wait long before the skewers came up. The spicy and fragrant taste made everyone salivate.
"Everyone, don't rush to eat. Before we start, let's toast to Boss Lan. Boss Lan is very generous."
Cui Hao stood up with a beer glass in hand, and people at the two tables also stood up one after another. The beer and juice glasses mixed together, sparkling with passionate colors under the light, and the rising bubbles were like the joyful mood of the young people.
"Then I must drink this one." Lan Shuang smiled as she poured herself a beer and raised her glass, saying, "Today we are gathered here not only to thank everyone for their tolerance and help, but also for one more thing—to celebrate our success in resisting the old demon man!"
"Wuhu! Cheers!"
The old demon man has always been competing with Class 2. Most of the students in Class 2 are dissatisfied with him but can't do anything about him. This time he really got his revenge, and everyone's emotions were ignited at once.
The crisp sound of clinking glasses was heard, carried through the curtain to the corridor outside.
The people coming up the stairs couldn't help but pause when they heard this, "Old demon man?"
"Isn't that someone from our school?"
"You'll know after you take a look."
These people spoke loudly, without any intention of concealing their words, and even with a bit of fearlessness and arrogance.
Then Lan Shuang saw the curtain of her box being lifted.
The private rooms in this restaurant have no doors and are separated by half curtains. This may be to create a lively atmosphere for eating barbecue, so people talking inside and outside can be heard.
So sometimes it is inevitable to be a little awkward, and it is easy to get into a fight if you meet someone who is impatient, just like now.
The box instantly became quiet, and everyone turned their heads and met the eyes of a group of people at the door.
Zhou Yihe and Han Yiran, who were standing at the front: "..."
Lan Shuang smiled when she saw that it was an acquaintance. "Why, you guys are here for barbecue too? Want to share a table? Or are you here to overturn the table?"
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere became tense.
Cui Hao and several other boys stared at them closely, as if ready to roll up their sleeves and attack at any time.
Zhou Yihe: “…”
He cursed inwardly, then smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't mean that. I was just passing by."
Then he lowered the curtain and turned around and left in shame with a group of people who looked like they had seen a ghost.
Class 2 students: “???”
Qin Zhou put down the beer bottle he had picked up, frowned and asked, "Are they sick?"
Lan Shuang smiled meaningfully: "Who knows? Maybe he was scared by the police and really regretted it?"
Qin Zhou: "..."
Do you think I believe your nonsense?
"It's good that they don't come to cause trouble. Let's eat our own food and don't worry about it." Lan Shuang picked up a piece of chicken wing and put it in Qin Zhou's bowl. "Eat it quickly, or it will be snatched away soon."
"All right."
With delicious food in front of him, Qin Zhou stopped worrying about Zhou Yihe and the others and focused on eating.
Everyone ate and talked, with laughter and joy all the time.
In the chaos, Qin Zhou's cell phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Gu Bo.
Gu Bo: [Where?]
Qin Zhou wiped his hands and replied: [At the barbecue restaurant, what are you doing?]
Gu Bo: [Send location]
Qin Zhou: [? 】
Gu Bo: [pitiful.jpg]
Gu Bo: [No food to eat]
Qin Zhou: [...]
