The barbecue restaurant was doing a booming business. They waited from the brilliant sunset in the sky until it was completely dark before the waiter brought out the two large plates of barbecue they ordered. There were also a few other things served in tinfoil bowls, such as roasted brain, roasted eggplant, and garlic-stirred enoki mushrooms.
It was Xia Xi's first time here. She tried a mutton skewer and her eyebrows raised as she praised it highly: "Sure enough, there are still many delicious foods around the new campus."
Liang Yuan said, "You guys graduated from the Department of Architecture in five years. Do you still need to take the postgraduate entrance exam? Don't worry, I guarantee you'll have enough to eat. I'm just worried you'll get tired of it by then."
Zhou Du opened a bottle of beer and drank directly from the bottle without asking for a cup. Hearing this, he looked at Xia Xi and asked, "Are you still going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"
"Of course." Liang Yuan spoke first, hooking his arm around Xia Xi's neck and leaning his head on her shoulder. "Our Xixi is a top student. It would be a waste of her brilliant brain if she didn't get a Ph.D.!"
Speaking of college bullies, Xia Xi thought of another person. She chewed the skewers and suddenly laughed.
When Liang Yuan cocked his head, he caught sight of Xia Xi's smile, a different one from her usual. Liang Yuan was very perceptive, narrowing his eyes suspiciously, "Why does your smile seem a bit swaying when I look at you?"
"Is there?" Xia Xi subconsciously raised her hand to touch her mouth and felt oil on her hand. She took a tissue and wiped her fingers.
"You have." Liang Yuan said firmly.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it from her sharp eyes, Xia Xi didn't plan to hide it. He simply stopped holding back and laughed heartily: "Do you remember I told you this afternoon that I met a super handsome boy?"
Liang Yuan was eating roasted eggplant, which was so hot that she opened her mouth and panted. Her voice was a little unclear: "I remember...I remember."
"Don't you want to know what he looks like?" Xia Xi said, pulling out his phone from his trouser pocket, opening the album, and finding the frontal photo of Xu Yanfeng that he had saved from the group chat. He showed it to Liang Yuan, "Here, this is it."
"Where did you get it? Didn't you say you didn't take any photos?" Liang Yuan quickly put down his chopsticks and took the phone from her hand. He lowered his head to look at the screen, his mouth wide open enough to fit an egg. "Damn, it's kind of handsome!"
Xia Xi pretended to be reserved and said, "Remove the 'somewhat'."
Liang Yuan: "..."
Xia Xi said excitedly while eating skewers, "You have no idea what a coincidence it is, we go to the same school! He's a senior from my class. I've been staying at the new campus, so I haven't met him before."
Liang Yuan also thought it was a coincidence and slapped his thigh: "So, isn't this a fate sent by heaven?"
Xia Xi held her head high, her tone raised, and she hummed, agreeing with Liang Yuan. This was fate sent by heaven! There was no way to avoid it!
She shared the information she had gathered about Xu Yanfeng in the group chat: "He doesn't have a girlfriend yet. It's said that many women are pursuing him, but none of them have been able to win him over yet. Oh, his name is Xu Yanfeng, and his family owns the Xu Group, the richest company in South City."
Liang Yuan was so shocked that he almost threw his phone away.
This boy actually has such a great background?
What's the point of chasing after that?
Zhou Du drank half a bottle of beer and ate a handful of skewers, but still couldn't understand what the two girls in front of him were talking about. Were they speaking Martian? He couldn't help but interject, "What are you talking about?"
Liang Yuan ignored his words as if she hadn't heard them. She took Xia Xi's hand and said earnestly, like an old lady in her seventies, "Baby, don't say anything. We've been together for so many years. I understand what you mean. Do you want to pursue her? But I sincerely advise you not to dwell on this kind of person. Just treat her as an idol and worship her."
Xia Xi didn't expect that her best friend would also come to persuade her to give up. She pointed at herself and said, "Do you also think I have no hope?"
"Also?" Liang Yuan grasped the key words, "Who else is predicting a downturn?"
"They're all people I don't know," Xia Xi said. "I joined a large department group and told them I wanted to pursue Xu Yanfeng, but not a single one encouraged me. They all discouraged me."
“…”
Liang Yuan was so shocked by her words that she bared her teeth. Why hadn't she realized how awesome this guy was before? She didn't think about how those people would laugh at her behind her back if she publicly announced her intention to pursue Xu Yanfeng and didn't succeed.
"I don't want you to get hurt." Liang Yuan said sincerely.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you two please be considerate of me when you're chatting?" Zhou Du, who had been unable to get a word in, got angry. He snapped his fingers between the two of them, trying to make his presence felt. "Can anyone tell me what happened?"
He is still confused.
Liang Yuan sighed and stopped drinking sour plum soup in favor of beer. "Tell me about Xixi. She nearly drowned at the swimming pool this afternoon and was saved by a boy. She fell in love with him at first sight. Now she knows he's from the same school as her and has a pretty good family background. I was just trying to persuade her to think it over and not act rashly."
Zhou Du looked surprised after hearing this and pointed at Xia Xi: "You? Chasing a man?"
"Why, is it not possible?" Xia Xi slapped his outstretched hand, "Put away your contemptuous look. What's wrong with me chasing someone? Even if you haven't eaten pork, you must have seen a pig run."
Although she has no experience in pursuing men, she thinks it should not be difficult. Isn't it said that it's easy for a woman to pursue a man?
Zhou Du hooked his finger at her and said, "Come, show me which man can catch the eye of our Miss Xia."
Xia Xi's cell phone was in Liang Yuan's hand. Upon hearing this, she handed it to Zhou Du.
Zhou Du studied the photo carefully. To be fair, the boy's appearance was indeed outstanding. It was no wonder that Xia Xi was fascinated by him. However, his arrogant aura was almost penetrating the screen. He was probably a difficult guy to deal with.
