Chapter 164
A Yan and his three friends went to watch an old movie. There weren't many movies available during the summer vacation, so they simply chose an old classic that was being re-released. Even if they could watch it again at home, the visual effects and surround sound would be better in the cinema.
By the time they finished watching the movie and went downstairs to the third floor, Wen Xin had already handed over her shift to the train driver Sister Zhang. She was carrying a chest bag in front of her and stretching her back as she walked towards the four people.
"It's time to get off work!" Wen Xin's face was filled with undisguised joy and curiosity.
"Where are we going to get barbecue?"
Because of the city creation and the creation of a sanitary environment, it is very difficult to find outdoor food stalls or barbecue streets in Ningcheng nowadays.
Although there is a chain of BBQ restaurants in the mall, the food always tastes a bit lacking.
As for kebabs, only those sold at dirty roadside stalls are considered authentic.
"The boss of Sanliqiao is the one we have been eating at since we were young. He used to grill at the front, but the urban management officers chased him at the back. After many years of pursuit, he finally opened a shop."
"Northeastern barbecue, the most authentic one!" Dabao answered proactively.
Wen Xin's eyes lit up, "It must be delicious. It hasn't been assimilated into Ningcheng. It's too difficult to eat delicious barbecue now."
"Nowadays, wherever I go, I think everything there is delicious, except Hangzhou," she added.
“So it’s easier for us who come out of the food desert to survive.” A Yan continued.
The five-person team always had to split into two or three groups. At this moment, Dabao could only stare at the three ladies in front of him who were discussing the recently ended Olympics.
They are all ancestors.
This was the subway's rush hour, and thanks to the fact that it was not a weekend, they found a seat available in the small barbecue restaurant.
After scanning the QR code to place your order, you just have to wait for the food to be served. If you are an unfamiliar person and try to find a topic to talk about during this break, it would be quite difficult, but Wen Xin is different.
She is talkative, generous and calm.
The two boys sat opposite each other, while Wenxin was surrounded by Ayan and Xiaobao in the middle.
"Wow, Tan Dabao, I'm having dinner with your family, why do you look more nervous than me?" She smiled and looked at Dabao who was lowering his head opposite her, and spoke frankly.
Ah Yan saw that Dabao's neck had turned red, and he even stuttered a little because of nervousness.
“I feel like eating barbecue will affect my image.”
Feeling the death-raying gaze from his elder sister, Dabao shrank his shoulders.
He also didn't expect that the first meal he had with Wenxin would be barbecue.
People always say that when people first meet, they all pay attention to the image of both parties. At the beginning, they always want a more formal Western restaurant, fusion cuisine, and a better environment.
On the one hand, it is to leave a good impression, but on the other hand, eating barbecue is always a bit unrefined. "Who needs to look good when eating barbecue? Eating is to be enjoyed."
"When you go out to eat with friends, the food and the people around you are also important, right?" Wen Xin tilted her head slightly.
Dabao watched her eyes turn towards him, her face becoming more flushed, and the next second, she said:
"I'm going to post a circle of friends tonight and have a barbecue with the top students to show off." Wen Xin shook her body.
Ah Yan couldn't help but look at Rue Rue and hold back his laughter, making eyes at Xiao Bao.
They watched Dabao's expression change with Wenxin's words.
This kid is finished.
Being held in the grasp tightly.
The barbecue dishes were served one after another, and Zhu Jue found that he had no use at all today.
Another drink was served, and someone rushed to grab it.
I used serving chopsticks to take the inconvenient skewers off the table, and someone rushed to eat them.
If someone is trying to do something for him, he will feel happy and relaxed, and enjoy special treatment.
Of course, although usually this job is done by two people, today Tan Dabao was particularly proactive.
"Hey? Wenxin, are you Mongolian? Have you been playing the horse-head fiddle since you were a child?" Xiaobao asked.
"Yes, my mother is. I haven't been back to Qili for a long time because of school."
"The Nadam Festival is really fun. You should come and have a look if you have the chance."
"I remember Kaka went to Hajitala before. I don't know how far it is from Wenxin's home." Ayan opened the map and checked.
That night, Wenxin had a great time eating, chatting, and watching.
Especially when I see a genius like Tan Dabao doing something stupid, I just can't help but laugh.
"My home is in Baiziwan, and the subway is just a few steps away. How long will it take for you to take me home?" Wen Xin said as they walked into the subway station.
"It might be unsafe at night." Dabao looked at the sky. It was already nine o'clock in the evening.
As soon as these words came out, Ayan Juejue and Xiaobao who were eavesdropping in the back couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The only place in China that can compare with the security level of Ningcheng’s outpost is Xinjiang, far away on the other side of the motherland.
Wen Xin put her hands in her pockets with her chest bag in front, looking very cool.
"No need. By the time I get home, my dad should be home from get off work and will be there to pick me up."
"If you like giving gifts so much, you'll have plenty of time to go to school."
She waved her hand, turned around and got into the elevator going down, like a nimble little butterfly.
Wenxin didn't look back, but Dabao's dull face slowly turned around and looked at his older brother and sister.
"Did I hear you right?"
The elder sister spread her hands, the younger sister giggled, and only the elder brother gave him an answer.
“Yes.”
"I gave you a chance, but you couldn't even hear it. Dabao, you're so stupid." Tan Xiaobao walked up to his brother and grabbed his ear without any hesitation.
"Go home."
The nights after the beginning of autumn were getting cooler, perfect for a walk. Even when they got home under the moonlight, Tan Dabao still had a happy look on his face.
Of course, I tried to look down at my phone less often along the way.
"I feel like the gay men in our family are hopeless." Ah Yan clicked his tongue.
"Excellent family tradition, passed down from generation to generation." Zhu Jue curled the corners of his lips.
Gods and Buddhas have seven emotions and six desires, and geniuses are also ordinary mortals.
The heart-pounding feeling of youth will always come to everyone.
...
Wenxin got off the subway, picked up a shared bicycle on the side of the road, and started riding leisurely.
In fact, it only takes about ten minutes to walk from the subway station to home, but Wenxin likes to ride a bike at night. If she goes around one more circle, it will take exactly ten minutes to ride, which may increase her experience points.
There were not many people, there was a breeze, it was cool and comfortable.
Most importantly! This is her little journey with extra rewards.
Even though it was only a ten-minute ride, Wen Xin tried her best to pick a bike that she thought was better and adjusted the seat to a suitable position.
Well, a good car can cope with the next challenge.
Bringing the bike to the cycling track, Wen Xin got on the bike with familiarity, put one foot on the pedal and the other foot on the ground, ready to go!
From the moment she started to push off, things started to change.
There were suspended gold coins on the road ahead. Wen Xin rode forward, and the bike and body passed through the gold coins. She could hear the pleasant sound of the gold coins entering the jar.
"bite!"
"bite!"
"bite!"
There was a cyclist in front of me, with a level 1 mark on his head. He looked like a normal person riding his bike home.
Wen Xin accelerated and surpassed the level 1 passerby.
[You have surpassed the lv1 rider, riding experience +1, please keep a safe distance and ride safely! ]
Press the bell to turn the corner, pass through a purple treasure chest, and continue forward to listen to the gold coins falling into your bag.
“Ding Di——”
A car behind honked its horn, and Wen Xin continued to pull over.
[You successfully avoided the car coming from behind, riding experience +5, your safety awareness is great! ]
With the special navigation like narration in her ears and the extra different way home in front of her, every time Wenxin rides her bike, it is full of fun.
Picking up gold coins, opening treasure chests, gaining experience, and upgrading buffs, this is her favorite mini-game!
If she was not under 18 years old and unable to register as a rider or courier, Wen Xin would have long wished she could ride an electric donkey every day and deliver takeout and express mail at lightning speed!
Because she is under 18 years old, she can only get there by subway, bicycle and walking for the "flash delivery" missions she accepts now.
When she grows up and gets her driver's license, driving will definitely be fun.
After riding for just ten minutes, Wenxin arrived downstairs of her home. She parked her bicycle in the usual place and her father was already waiting for her under the street light.
"Dad! I've told you so many times, just go upstairs after you finish your overtime work. I'm so old now, and it's just two steps away." Wen Xin couldn't help but mutter to her dad when she saw him.
"You are still a child no matter how old you are. You are not even 18 yet, little adult. I don't need to answer this call."
"If you don't have to work overtime, and you get off work normally, have dinner with my mom and come to pick me up in the evening, then I welcome you." Wen Xin said.
"It's almost time for this project to be launched."
"Did you have fun working part-time today? Was the barbecue I had with my friends delicious?"
Listening to her father's skillful change of subject, Wen Xin could only respond helplessly.
"It's delicious. Let's go eat together next time."
After Wen Xin got home and took a shower, she checked the rewards from her short-distance riding challenge. When she opened the treasure chest, she found a medium-sized bottle of energy potion. These daily tasks are basically small rewards, which add up to a lot.
She lay in bed and replied to the messages on her phone.
Although I didn't trigger any tasks on Sister Ayan tonight, it was still very enjoyable.
Wenxin had to admit that it was natural for her to develop a liking for a tall, handsome, smart, and well-off boy who had been asking about her well-being and chatting with her for two months.
Especially when this person is regarded as a genius by countless people, it would be a lie to say that he does not have a bit of vanity.
At the beginning, when Wenxin was applying for schools and majors, he gave her detailed and concerned answers. At that time, Wenxin just thought it was a normal job of the admissions team. After the application was completed, he was like a sticky candy, still asking about her well-being every day and sending her some strange topics.
The content of daily chats may be about math problems one second, and philosophical thinking the next second, and then they will talk about what to eat today and cooking recipes.
It was only after more than a month that Wenxin realized that this guy was pursuing her when he repeatedly wanted to invite her out for dinner and to the movies and wanted to give her handmade cookies and cakes. Is this guy actually pursuing me?
Should we say it’s the straight man’s way of thinking, or that geniuses’ chat style is different from others?
However, it was quite funny to see him at a loss as to what to do because of what I said.
She lay on the bed, typing rapidly on her phone. Before she knew it, the game's bedtime challenge prompt appeared, and Wen Xin quickly said good night.
How come more than an hour has passed so quickly?
She quickly turned off the lights, closed her eyes and prepared to go to sleep, and the settlement of today's life automatically began.
【The 6190th day of Wenxin’s life. 】
[In today's morning and evening riding daily challenges, overtook 17 passers-by, dodged cars from behind 3 times, avoided cars going the other way 1 time, opened treasure chests 2 times, and obtained a total of 329 gold coins, and riding +41]

[Wen Xin played the fiddle for half an hour in the morning, Matouqin +5]
......
