Su Yang had already turned off his phone, so he naturally couldn’t see the lively barrage of comments in the live stream.
Xu Zilin smiled and said, "Then wait for me a minute—I’ll just say goodbye to everyone."
"Sure, no rush."
She turned to her phone, waved, and said cheerfully, "Hey everyone, I’m signing off now. I’ve been streaming for quite a while today, so I’m gonna grab some late-night snacks."
—NO, DON’T GO!!!!
—COME BACK!!
—IF YOU LEAVE, I’M UNFOLLOWING!!
—Damn, looks like my goddess is a goner tonight…
—That bastard deserves to die!
Xu Zilin casually skimmed the comments, pretending not to see them, and smiled again. "Alright~ I’m logging off now~ See you tomorrow, everyone!"
After saying that, she tapped the screen to end the live stream.
"Done! But can you wait one more minute? I need to put the tripod in the car."
"Sure, go ahead~"
"Okay!"
Su Yang watched with a smile as Xu Zilin turned and jogged away.
—Oh right, System, show me her details.
[Name: Xu Zilin, Age: 23]
[Height: 164cm]
[Weight: 52.5kg]
[Appearance: 80]
[Figure: 84]
[Relationships: 2, both ended, currently single]
[Body count: 1]
[Traits: Outgoing, enthusiastic, free-spirited, appearance-conscious, loves cars]
—Hmm, she’s a solid beauty.
Soon, Xu Zilin returned.
The last time Su Yang had met her, she’d worn her hair in cute twin braids, but today, she’d left her slightly wavy long hair loose, cascading down her back.
She was wearing a fitted white round-neck short-sleeve top with a tied front and a denim miniskirt paired with black stockings.
The outfit accentuated her figure perfectly, and Su Yang couldn’t help but sneak a few extra glances.
"Alright~ Let’s go~" Xu Zilin bounced over to Su Yang.
"Oh, by the way, isn’t your... uh, your best friend-slash-assistant with you today?"
Xu Zilin thought for a moment. "You mean Wanqing? She had something to do today, so she didn’t come out with me."
"Oh, right. What’s her full name again?"
"Xia Wanqing."
Su Yang paused, thinking to himself: Damn, that’s a pretty name—sounds like a female lead. Too bad she’s not here tonight...
"Ah, got it. Just blanked for a second. Anyway, what do you feel like eating? My treat."
Hearing this, Xu Zilin quickly waved her hands. "No way! You just gifted me ten ‘Carnivals’—I should be the one treating you!"
Su Yang chuckled. "Fine, I won’t argue with you then."
"Hehe, anything you’re craving?" Xu Zilin looked up at him.
"I’m easy. I was just planning to grab something casual. How about barbecue?"
"Sure! There’s a really good place just up ahead."
Su Yang nodded. "Lead the way."
The two walked side by side down the street.
After a while, Xu Zilin suddenly remembered something. The barbecue spot she mentioned was a roadside stall—popular, but noisy and not exactly upscale.
She worried Su Yang, being wealthy, might look down on such a place.
Hesitantly, she turned to him. "Su Yang, just so you know, it’s a little roadside joint. You okay with that?"
"Huh?" Su Yang was momentarily surprised she’d bring it up, but then it clicked—she probably assumed he’d turn his nose up at a humble spot.
He shook his head, amused. "Roadside stalls are exactly what I’m after."
"Really? I figured someone like you wouldn’t be into that kind of place."
"That’s just prejudice. Roadside stalls are where the real flavors are. You won’t find that kind of authenticity in fancy restaurants. This is where life happens. We’re just regular people—let’s eat regular food."
Hearing this, Xu Zilin gave him another glance, her smile widening. "Well, now I’m relieved~"
Soon, they crossed a street and arrived at the bustling night market strip, lined with food stalls and open-air eateries.
Every shop was packed, with crowds spilling out onto the sidewalks.
Xu Zilin pointed ahead. "That’s the place—the one with the biggest crowd."
Su Yang tilted his head. "Wow, it’s packed."
"Yeah, they’re always this busy. It’s super popular."
"You come here often?"
"Not really. Only a few times, but I pass by this street every night on my way home."
"Got it." Su Yang nodded.
"Let’s hurry—this whole street smells amazing."
"Hehe, we’re almost there."
A few steps later, they reached the stall, named "Ocean Barbecue."
The place was large, with every indoor table occupied and several more set up on the sidewalk.
Xu Zilin darted to the only empty table. "Su Yang, over here! We got lucky!"
Su Yang grinned. "Coming."
Their timing was perfect—a table had just been cleared.
A waiter in an apron approached, smiling. "Just the two of you?"
"Yep, two."
"Great! Here’s the menu." He handed it to Su Yang.
Su Yang scanned it. "What’s your specialty? The stuff everyone orders?"
"Definitely our grilled oysters—famous on this whole street."
"Oh yeah? Then let’s get fifty."
"Sure thing! Just mark the oysters and write ‘50’ next to it."
Su Yang jotted it down and passed the menu to Xu Zilin. "Your turn—order whatever you like."
"Okay! Any dietary restrictions?"
Su Yang shook his head. "I eat everything except raw blood."
"Perfect. I’ll pick a few of their best dishes."
Xu Zilin quickly checked off items—lamb skewers, chicken wings, pork belly, beef tendon, grilled shrimp, kidneys, and a side of stir-fried potato slices.
She handed the menu back. "Anything else you want to add?" She rested her chin on her hand, watching him intently.
Su Yang glanced at the selections. "This should be enough, but we’re missing drinks."
"What do you want?"
"Gotta go with ice-cold beer."
"But we drove here?"
Su Yang smirked. "We’ll call a driver. No way we’re having barbecue without some cold ones."
"Hehe, fine, I’ll drink with you~"
Su Yang looked up at the waiter. "Bring us a whole case."
"A whole case?" Both the waiter and Xu Zilin blinked in surprise.
"What, worried I can’t handle it?"
"It’s just... two people might not finish that much. But no worries—you can return what’s left. I’ll get it right away."
Su Yang just smiled, not bothering to explain. He handed the menu back.
"That's all for now," he said, turning to Xu Zilin and asking, "Can you handle ice in your drink?"
"Of course~" Xu Zilin flashed a sweet smile, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.
Su Yang quickly called out to the waiter, "Hey, make it iced!"
