Xu Xi lowered her eyes and glanced at the barbecue skewers on the grill. There were about 100 of them, which seemed to be just enough for three people. It was almost twelve o'clock now, and there were very few people in the square. It was not certain that the remaining barbecues would be sold out.
But... Xu Xi looked around and there was no place to sit. Xiao Mu didn't bring any tables or chairs when he set up a barbecue stall to sell barbecue. He just set up a barbecue stall to sell to passers-by without any tables.
Xu Xi couldn't help but ask, "Standing here and eating?"
"Of course I'm going back. There are so many mosquitoes here." Xiao Mu chuckled and started packing her things. As she packed, she said, "Let's go to my place. I live alone now."
Xu Xi blinked guiltily. This was another thing she didn't know.
She asked softly, "When are you moving out? Do your uncle and aunt agree?"
Xiao Mu quickly packed up everything. "I'm starting a business, and I'm tired of staying at home and listening to them nagging me all day. So I moved out."
Xu Xi nodded and didn't ask Xiao Mu any more questions, because she could understand her idea. After all, she moved out of home because her parents were too nagging about her work and work schedule. Sometimes she worked overtime too late and would disturb them when she came back. Working overtime was tiring enough, and she felt even more stressed by them nagging about food, clothing, housing and transportation. So she chose to rent a house and only go back to eat with her parents occasionally when she had a break.
Xiao Mu just said that she moved out because she wanted to start a business. Her barbecue restaurant has only been open for a short time, which means she just moved out not long ago.
Xu Xi picked up some of Xiao Mu's packed things and casually asked her, "Where are you staying?"
Xiao Mu: "It's in the row of houses behind my store."
The three of them put all their things in the car and then returned to Xiao Mu's rental house together.
Xu Xi got out of the car and saw Chen Shuning coming forward to help move, so she stepped forward in time.
"Shuning, you should take a rest. You have been busy for so long."
"It's okay, I'm not tired." Chen Shuning glanced at her with a gentle look. "Let's move it up together, so we can finish it at once."
"..." Xu Xi didn't know what to say for a moment. How could there be such a kind person in this world? They had only known each other for a short time, and yet he was still helping her so late at night. She really liked Chen Shuning more and more.
Seeing Xu Xi standing there in a daze without saying a word or moving, Chen Shuning smiled and said, "Let's go."
All of this seemed like a piece of cake to Chen Shuning, and they seemed like friends who had known each other for a long time. Xu Xi almost forgot that they had only met two days ago.
"Oh, okay." Xu Xi followed with her things in her hands. Xiao Mu led the way in front of them. She and Chen Shuning walked side by side behind Xiao Mu.
Xu Xi tried to find topics to chat about. Although she wasn't good at chatting, she had already made up her mind to get used to chatting with people more often. After all, if you were chasing someone, how could you get to know each other without talking?
Xu Xi: "Shuning, are you always so helpful?"
Chen Shuning was stunned for a moment, then turned his head slightly to look at her, then quickly looked forward again. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I just happened to be free and could help out. It's just something I can do."
Xu Xi nodded, thinking that what Chen Shuning said was right. When Xiao Mu called her, she had just had dinner at her house. If it was somewhere else, it wouldn't be "just right". It seemed that it was really just "just right".
This time she didn't use the phrase "You're so nice," but she didn't use any advanced expressions either.
Xu Xi said seriously: "You are so kind and helpful."
Xiao Mu walked ahead, unable to bear her childhood friend's idiotic speech. "With her behavior, if it were someone who didn't like her, they would have run nine miles away long ago. Why would they stay up all night moving things with you?" Xiao Mu stopped and turned to look at Xu Xi. "How can someone like her, who's so emotionally clueless and only knows how to study, work, and learn, fall in love? How can she be taught to pursue talent?"
Xiao Mu swallowed, mustered up his courage, and planned to demonstrate to Xu Xi, wanting to tell her that there was no need for so many twists and turns when pursuing someone, nor was there any need for any rhythm, and being straightforward was the best.
Taking advantage of what Xu Xi had just said, she pretended to ask Chen Shuning casually, "Well, I also think you are kind and helpful. You are so nice, so many people should like you. By the way, Shuning, do you have someone you like? What kind of person do you like?"
Xu Xi blinked blankly when she heard Xiao Mu's question. What was she doing? What kind of nonsense were these questions? Compared to Chen Shuning, she seemed more anxious.
Xu Xi looked at Xiao Mu with a warning look. "Shun Ning is helpful. Ask her what kind of people she likes and what she does."
