Turning off his phone, Su Yang continued walking side by side with Ren Lingxi.
As they passed by a Dai-style chicken feet shop, Ren Lingxi tilted her head, pointed at the storefront, and said with a smile, "Yang-ge, do you want to eat this?"
Su Yang turned to look and shook his head, "I don't. Do you want some?"
"Mhm~" she said, already stepping towards the shop.
Seeing this, Su Yang laughed, "You really are a foodie~ The system's evaluation was spot on, 'loves to eat'~"
"But if she eats so much now, will she still have room for dinner later?" Su Yang thought, catching up to her and saying, "Lingxi, you're having dinner with us later, remember?"
Hearing about food, Ren Lingxi immediately turned her head, "Sure~"
"But you're eating so much now, will you still be able to eat dinner later?"
"Of course I can. These things are just snacks for me, something to munch on~"
"Oh, okay then. I was just worried you might not have room later."
"Hehe, that won't happen. I can eat a lot~"
As she spoke, Ren Lingxi turned and walked to the shop to buy a portion of chicken feet.
Then she put on a disposable glove and started eating while walking.
From the very first moment Su Yang saw her, she had been eating.
"Mmm~ the taste is pretty good. Do you want to try one?" Ren Lingxi picked up a chicken foot and looked at Su Yang, asking.
Seeing this, Su Yang smiled, "When a beauty offers, I'll gladly have a taste."
"Alrighty." Ren Lingxi put down the chicken foot, picked up a disposable glove that looked like a little hat, and handed it to Su Yang.
"Here, put on a glove first."
"Okay, thanks." Su Yang reached out, took the glove, tore it open, put it on, then picked up a chicken foot from Ren Lingxi's box and started nibbling on it too.
"How's the taste?"
Chewing, Su Yang said, "Not bad~"
"That's good. Have more if you want~"
"No need, one taste is enough for me."
Munching on chicken feet, the two walked towards Luckin Coffee.
When they were about fifty or sixty meters from the coffee shop, Su Yang saw four people sitting at a table in front of the store chatting.
Two of them were precisely Meng Wenzhou and Zhang Ziming, each with a girl sitting beside them.
However, they were all sitting with their backs turned for now, so their faces couldn't be seen.
'I wonder what kind of girls these two found.'
Just as he was thinking this, Ren Lingxi had already finished off all five chicken feet in the box.
She took off her glove, put it in the box, then found a trash bin and threw it in.
"Eating delicious food is truly the most interesting thing in life~" Ren Lingxi couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing this, Su Yang took a pack of tissues from his bag and handed it to her, "Do you really like eating that much?"
"Mhm... well, not exactly. I only like eating tasty things."
"So, is there anything you think doesn't taste good?"
"Uh..." Ren Lingxi was taken aback. She thought for a moment, then smiled gracefully, "Haven't found any yet~ As long as it's not made too badly, I pretty much like everything."
"Alright then~ So later, is there anything specific you'd like to eat? Our treat~"
"I'll have to think carefully. Actually, forget it, I'll just search online~" As she spoke, Ren Lingxi took out her phone and started looking up food in the ancient town.
Su Yang smiled helplessly and led her forward.
"Lingxi, those two guys up ahead are my friends. The ones sitting next to them are probably the teammates they just found."
"Oh oh~" Ren Lingxi looked up towards Meng Wenzhou and the others, "Aren't there supposed to be a few more people?"
"Yes, three more. For now, the people we've found will meet up first. The other three probably haven't found anyone yet."
Ren Lingxi looked up at Su Yang with a smile, "Your game seems quite fun~"
"Yes, and it also helps practice social skills. Let's go over and say hello."
"Okay~"
The two quickened their pace.
As they got closer, Su Yang called out, "Old Meng, Ziming~"
Hearing the call, the two immediately turned their heads.
"You're here?"
"Mhm~"
"Eh? Didn't you say you found a teammate? Where is she?"
"She's right..." Su Yang said, turning to look, only to find Ren Lingxi had disappeared at some point.
"Huh? Where'd she go?"
Su Yang was instantly confused. He had been walking faster, in front, and his attention was on Meng Wenzhou and the others.
He hadn't noticed Ren Lingxi, and now she was gone.
Just as he was puzzled, a voice called from the coffee shop entrance, "Yang-ge! I'm over here."
Ren Lingxi called out and quickly ran over from the shop entrance.
Hearing the call, Meng Wenzhou and Zhang Ziming turned to look again, and this sight nearly made their jaws drop.
At that moment, Su Yang also saw the two girls sitting beside the two guys.
Judging by appearance alone, the one next to Meng Wenzhou was pretty good, around an 80.
The girl next to Zhang Ziming was slightly less so, but probably still between 75-80.
Ren Lingxi ran up to Su Yang's side and said with a smile, "Sorry about that, I just went to get coffee."
"No problem. Here, let me introduce you." Su Yang pointed at Meng Wenzhou and Zhang Ziming.
"This one in the floral shirt is Meng Wenzhou. This one in the grey T-shirt is Zhang Ziming."
Ren Lingxi looked at the two and smiled radiantly, "Hello~ I'm Ren Lingxi~ Just call me Lingxi. Nice to meet you, hope we get along."
"H-hello, beauty." Zhang Ziming was still wide-eyed, his face full of envy.
Meng Wenzhou had only been momentarily stunned when he first saw her, but had now returned to normal.
He stood up, walked in front of Ren Lingxi, extended his hand, and smiled, "Hello, Lingxi~"
Ren Lingxi politely reached out and shook Meng Wenzhou's hand. Then Meng Wenzhou turned and pointed to the short-haired girl in a blue dress sitting next to him, introducing her, "Let me introduce you. This is Wang Shuyue."
The girl named Wang Shuyue looked at Su Yang and Ren Lingxi, nodding and waving, "Hello, handsome guy and beautiful girl~"
"Hello, hello." Su Yang and Ren Lingxi smiled politely.
By now, Zhang Ziming had also snapped out of his earlier shock.
He swallowed and pointed to the girl sitting next to him, wearing a brown T-shirt and tight jeans, saying, "Let me introduce you. This is a new friend I just met, named: Chen Chen."
Chen Chen stood up, looked at Su Yang and Ren Lingxi, waved, and smiled, "Hello~"
"Hello, hello."
After everyone got acquainted, they sat down one after another to chat.
Su Yang and Ren Lingxi sat opposite Meng Wenzhou and the other three.
The two guys across from them kept throwing glances of envy and jealousy at Su Yang.
Su Yang carefully observed the two girls with Meng Wenzhou and Zhang Ziming. Both seemed like the chatty type.
They appeared lively and had decent personalities, though they didn't know each other either.
Just then, a server from inside the coffee shop leaned out and called to Ren Lingxi among the group, "Miss! Your coffee is ready~"
"Okay, coming~" Ren Lingxi looked at Su Yang, "Yang-ge, come help me carry them, will you? I bought twelve cups."
