Xu Xi looked at Chen Shuning and smiled. "It's a bit late now. Let's go back after we finish the barbecue."
Chen Shuning: "Okay."
Xiao Mu came over with two bottles of beer, but she didn't sit down after putting them down. She said depressedly, "I remember there were drinks at home before, but now they're gone. You guys eat here first, I'll go out and buy a bottle of drink. Shuning, what do you want to drink?"
Xu Xi raised her eyes and remembered that when she was looking at the night market from the window just now, she saw people selling fruit. Looking at the barbecue before the New Year, she thought that it would be better to have some fruit with all the barbecue.
She said, "I'll go buy some. I saw a lot of snacks downstairs, so I'll buy some fruit."
Xiao Mu looked at her speechlessly. "Isn't this enough for you?"
"These are all barbecued meats. Let's have some fruit to go with them." Xu Xi said, then turned to Chen Shuning and asked, "Shuning, what would you like to drink?"
"It's all right."
Xu Xi went downstairs alone to buy things. There were many snack stalls downstairs. When passing by the stinky tofu stall, Xu Xi actually wanted to buy one, but considering that she didn't know whether Chen Shuning liked it or not, it would be bad if she didn't like it and it would suffocate her. So Xu Xi resisted the urge to buy it and waited for the next chance to ask Chen Shuning if she liked this kind of food.
She went to the fruit salad stand and bought a fruit salad. When she came back, she found a small stall next to her selling lemonade. Xu Xi decided to buy one for Chen Shuning and not buy a drink.
After a few short steps, Xu Xi looked at the street lights flickering, and she suddenly felt that strolling through the snack street was actually quite heartwarming, with endless delicious food and unknown flavors. She pursed her lips and decided to take Chen Shuning along for a snack street stroll next time. It would definitely be romantic. She had to record this in her plans for being with Chen Shuning.
However, after the stall owner prepared the lemon juice, Xu Xi took out her mobile phone to pay. When she opened WeChat, she suddenly noticed two familiar words.
Those were the two words she left in the WeChat note for Chen Shuning: Ningning.
When I got the contact information, I thought I could call Chen Shuning this way in the future. I figured since she couldn't access my phone, she definitely wouldn't see all this stuff. So, I privately changed her name to "Ningning".
A feeling of unease slowly rose in Xu Xi's heart. Memories suddenly came to her mind. Xu Xi remembered that when she had just gone to the square to look for Xiao Mu, she had asked Chen Shuning to help send a message to Xiao Mu. Now Xiao Mu's WeChat profile picture was right above "Ning Ning's" WeChat profile picture.
Then when Chen Shuning used his phone to send a message to Xiao Mu, didn't he already see this note?
Xu Xi's whole body seemed to be breaking apart in an instant.
In this world, it seems that the more confident you are that something will not be seen, the easier it is to be discovered.
It was so embarrassing, as if she was caught stealing. Xu Xi subconsciously clicked on the profile picture of "Ningning" and changed the note back to "Chen Shuning". Although she didn't understand why she did this, she breathed a sigh of relief after the change. After paying, she came back with the lemonade in a depressed mood.
She took a deep breath before entering the room, comforting herself that Chen Shuning probably didn't see it, or she saw it but didn't say anything, which meant that Chen Shuning didn't mind her noting her like this.
This is not a bad thing by any means.
Opening the door, Chen Shuning looked over. "You're back."
Xiao Mu also looked over, his eyes falling on her hands. "Where are you picking up the fruit?"
Xu Xi looked down at the things in her hand in a daze. Only then did she remember that she had forgotten to buy the fruit because of the thing she had just noted.
"I..." Xu Xi was speechless and wanted to turn around and go back to buy it.
Chen Shuning said, "Don't go. It's late now. Let's just finish the barbecue."
Xu Xi stared at Chen Shuning, her mind full of "Ningning" notes. Her cheeks couldn't help but heat up, and she stammered in response. "Oh, okay."
She walked over and sat down, and the three of them started eating.
After Xiao Mu finished two glasses of wine, she picked up her calculator and began to calculate how much they had recovered tonight. She compared it with the transfer data sheet Xu Xi had given her, and after typing for a few minutes, she suddenly laughed foolishly.
"I sold these ingredients tonight, and combined with the barbecue, I made over 1,500 yuan. Pure profit."
Xiao Mu picked up a bottle of beer next to him and said to Xu Xi and Chen Shuning, "Here, toast to you. I'm so lucky to have you. Thank you. Cheers."
Xu Xi glanced at the beer in the glass bottle in her hand. "Done?" That wouldn't be a good idea. She'd just started eating and already finished the whole bottle. She'd probably get drunk easily.
However, during the time she was hesitating, Xiao Mu had actually finished the bottle of beer in his hand, and was still muttering that he was not too unlucky tonight. However, as he was talking, the tone of his silly smile began to change to tears after he almost finished the second bottle of beer.
