After Tang Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao took their seats, everyone for tonight's dinner gathering had arrived.
It was clear that Guan Yuntao was a regular at this Japanese yakitori restaurant. After calling the waiter over, he skillfully began ordering dishes.
Yakitori platter, charcoal-grilled pork nasal cartilage, chicken lanterns, charcoal-grilled pigeon breast, Japanese sukiyaki, splendid alfonsino, beef tartare…
With a variety of grilled items, paired with other Japanese specialties, Guan Yuntao practically ordered the entire menu.
After ordering, Guan Yuntao looked at everyone and asked, "Brothers, do you want some drinks? This is the first meal today, I organized it, and I found the place, so no one should fight me for it. This one's on me."
"No one's fighting you," Tang Yuan said with a smile, taking the menu from Guan Yuntao and handing it to Su Xiaoxiao beside him.
"See if there's anything else you want to eat. Just order it, don't be polite with him."
"Oh!"
"Yuan Ge is so considerate!"
"Sister-in-law is so lucky!"
Seeing Tang Yuan's action, everyone immediately started to tease them.
Chen Yongbing, who played the point guard position, even praised him directly.
Sister-in-law?
In an instant, the atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became a bit strange.
Su Xiaoxiao, who was looking at the menu, felt her little heart involuntarily pound rapidly when she heard such a title.
She secretly glanced at Tang Yuan beside her out of the corner of her eye, and seeing that he showed no intention of explaining himself, a faint blush appeared on her fair face.
At the same time, she pretended to be calm and did not offer any explanation either.
Everyone at the table saw this scene, and except for the oblivious Chen Yongbing, everyone else was somewhat bewildered.
Did they just acknowledge it?
Are Tang Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao really together?
Then what about Wen Muxue this morning?!
Couldn't figure it out, absolutely couldn't figure it out!
Just as everyone was feeling confused, Tang Yuanfinally spoke up, changing the topic: "I drove here today, so I won't drink. You guys can have some."
"I'll have some. Anyone who wants to drink, raise your hand. We're not forcing anyone, it's all voluntary!"
Guan Yuntao continued Tang Yuan's words, shouting again, which drew many people to respond to Guan Yuntao.
Everyone was young people of the same age, so they naturally had endless topics to talk about. While waiting for the dishes, they quickly got into a lively conversation.
About fifteen minutes later, beautifully plated grilled items and dishes were successively brought to the table.
"Come, come, come, Rules of the Jianghu!"
"Ladies first for photos, then we eat!"
Guan Yuntao saw that most of the food had been served. He clapped his hands and said with a smile.
"Guan Yuntao, you really understand girls, don't you?"
Just as many girls were taking out their phones to take pictures, Li Qiming's lips curved into a mischievous smile as he said to Guan Yuntao with a hint of meaning.
The girl sitting next to Guan Yuntao, hearing Li Qiming's words, subconsciously cast her gaze towards Guan Yuntao, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.
Guan Yuntao, who had been smiling, felt the gaze from beside him, and his smile instantly stiffened: "What do I understand about girls? I just saw it online."
Upon hearing this, the girl immediately stopped looking at Guan Yuntao and continued taking photos.
With the crisis averted, Guan Yuntao breathed a sigh of relief, while secretly glaring fiercely at Li Qiming, who was already struggling to suppress his laughter.
As the two chatted and laughed, the girls had already completed their pre-meal ritual.
Everyone had taken photos they were satisfied with, and Su Xiaoxiao, sitting next to Tang Yuan, was no exception; she also took many pictures.
Afterward, she selected the photo with the richest elements and directly posted it to her Moments, conveniently attaching her location.
...
Jiaotong University, Xuhui Campus.
In the girls' dormitory, Wen Muxue looked at Su Xiaoxiao's update posted 1 minute ago in her Moments.
Her delicate hand, tightly gripping her phone, was faintly white, and the frustration in her heart felt like a fishbone stuck in her throat.
Although Tang Yuan's figure was completely absent from the entire photo, the figures of Guan Yuntao and others were clearly visible in the picture.
And Wen Muxue, who went to the basketball court to cheer for Tang Yuan this morning, naturally recognized Guan Yuntao and the others.
Clearly, this was a gathering of the Gaojin Collegebasketball team.
Su Xiaoxiao appeared in such an occasion, who brought her there?
There's only one possibility!
That would be Tang Yuan!
Thinking of how Tang Yuan had rejected her invitation this morning for Su Xiaoxiao, and even brought Su Xiaoxiao to such a relatively private dinner gathering.
At this moment, the pride that had always been deeply ingrained in Wen Muxue plummeted to rock bottom.
Wen Muxue sat on the chair, her entire heart completely in disarray.
"Bird Xun Yakitori Restaurant..."
Wen Muxue looked at the address below Su Xiaoxiao's Moments update.
A faint glimmer suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she instantly made up her mind.
Give up?
Impossible!
In Wen Muxue's dictionary, those two words never existed…..
