Barbecue Host Liu Chenyang

Today, Ningning was wearing a knit bodycon skirt.

This kind of sexy yet cleverly designed outfit looked like something Zhou Jialu would favor. However, it was obvious that Lu Yuning, being a fashion designer, had her own ideas. It could only be said that girls with voluptuous figures often tended to make similar fashion choices.

...

Ten minutes later.

Su Bai hopped down from the RV.

He found that the girls had already slipped into the woods to play.

The middle section of the RV featured a bottom garage that could fit a sports car... It didn't necessarily have to be a sports car either; as long as the stance wasn't too outrageous, an ordinary sedan could be driven in.

However, there was no street racing on today's agenda, so bringing a sports car was useless. In times like this, the super RV's bottom garage turned into a storage room. The side panels could also be raised to serve as an awning. You could say it had a lot of versatile uses.

The girls had brought out tables and chairs from inside and were sitting in a circle in the woods, playing cards.

This time, they were playing Fight the Landlord.

The three of them had just been defeated by Lu Yuning's absurdly good luck and were clearly a bit unconvinced, so they started another round outside.

Su Bai leaned over to watch, and immediately received puzzled looks from the girls.

...

"So what do we do now?"

"You guys keep playing cards. I'll just watch."

Su Bai thought it was actually pretty nice that these few could hang out together. He had assumed that putting them together would result in awkward, meaningless small talk. As expected, playing cards and mahjong were humanity's eternal, universal themes of social interaction.

Sure enough, it was better to have a few more female confidantes. The more people, the merrier. If Su Bai only had two girlfriends, could they even get a proper card game going?

After hanging around for a while, Su Bai went back to the RV.

By this time, Lu Yuning had already taken the initiative to tidy up the inside of the vehicle, acting incredibly well-behaved.

Actually, Driver Huang had eagerly volunteered to help with the cleaning; she was just too desperate to make a good impression.

Unfortunately...

Lu Yuning felt that she should just do it herself, boo-hoo.

Having joined the little group not long ago, her sense of shyness was still quite strong.

So, Su Bai joined her in studying the various functional modules on the vehicle.

The Volkner Mobil Performance S was known as a mobile palace for the wealthy, and it wasn't just empty boasting.

The kitchen was equipped with a Miele built-in dishwasher, an induction cooktop, a refrigerator, and a wine cabinet.

As for the bathroom, it featured a marble-countertop shower, a fully automatic toilet, and a washing machine, rivaling a star-rated hotel.

The bedroom had a starlight ceiling system installed, along with an expandable, hidden fold-out bed for sleeping space.

It even boasted a Burmester surround sound system worth 355,000 USD and a retractable giant screen TV, offering an absolute cinematic audio-visual experience.

Just this set of entertainment equipment alone was more expensive than a whole house in the non-core areas of Jiangcheng.

It could be said that every single detail of the entire living cabin screamed one big word: RICH!

Such a dreamy RV made Lu Yuning feel so happy she was practically floating on clouds.

...

Dawdling around, it was soon time for lunch.

For lunch, they naturally had to have a picnic.

The roof of the RV was fitted with solar panels, paired with an 1800Ah lithium battery pack, a 600 to 1000L freshwater tank, and a 500 to 800L insulated water tank, fully supporting long-term independent off-grid living.

With this life-support system, even if you took the RV into a post-apocalyptic world, it probably wouldn't be much of a problem.

A mobile palace? More like a survival fortress!

As an essential part of the picnic, the barbecue grill was also set up.

The bottom garage came with its own set of BBQ equipment, which was very much in line with the habits of Western car manufacturers... Su Bai remembered watching American TV shows as a kid, often seeing the main characters having BBQs in their backyards or on lawns at all sorts of inexplicable times and occasions...

In all fairness.

Grilling various large chunks of meat and skewers yourself was fine for an occasional treat, but if it were to become a daily diet, Su Bai would refuse.

He preferred Japanese-style sashimi and richly seasoned Chinese cuisine.

That was just his personal taste.

During the BBQ session, Su Bai discovered a new treasure.

And that was Yangyang.

When this girl was studying abroad, it seemed she didn't have many friends, so she often figured out how to cook for herself. Her BBQ skills were exceptionally proficient.

Compared to the other girls, she was miles ahead.

Su Bai simply washed his hands of the work, asking Yangyang to grill the meat for him while he found a rocking chair to lie in under the shade of a tree, slacking off and waiting to be fed by his little maid.

Such a young master's attitude drew continuous complaints from everyone.

Despite their complaints, none of the girls actually questioned it in their hearts.

After all, ever since they had met Su Bai, each of them knew that this guy was a lazy dog who loved to enjoy himself.

And every one of them had fully enjoyed the benefits brought by Su Bai's overflowing wealth. Such a superior lifestyle could make others drool with envy just by posting a casual social media update... So, waiting on Young Master Su Bai was only natural!

As for the head BBQ chef, Yangyang...

To be honest, she felt great.

It felt much better than when she was lonely in high school abroad, with no friends to hang out with on weekends, grilling meat all by herself in the backyard of her rented house.

Admittedly, Yangyang's family conditions were wealthy enough for her to rent a huge house abroad without blinking an eye, the kind with a backyard and a swimming pool.

In fact, if she wanted to, her father would have had no problem buying it for her.

But none of that could solve the pain of her loneliness and her need to pretend to be a boy.

Many things couldn't be solved just by having enough money.

Hey, wasn't it amazing? Ever since she met Su Bai, both of these major problems had been easily resolved.

"Yangyang, I see your forehead is sweating. Are you tired? I can take over; I feel like I've almost learned how to do it!" Zhou Jialu offered smoothly, showing her high emotional intelligence.

"Mhm, it's fine, I'm not tired!"

Yangyang energetically grabbed the towel Zhou Jialu handed her, wiped off her sweat, and continued grilling. Her movements were so swift and neat that she could almost rival those street-food BBQ influencers on Douyin.

Chen Yusheng watched this scene, deep in thought.

After all, as her classmate, her feelings were the most obvious: this Liu Chenyang was much more vibrant now that her true identity was liberated compared to her disguised form. Who knew what got into her old man's head, forcing her to cosplay as a boy.

Chen Yusheng took this question to Su Bai. Su Bai thought for a moment and said, "It's probably the fault of that old Daoist priest her family knows. I feel like a lot of the middle-aged men who got rich in that era believe in some weird stuff and are easily brainwashed... That's just my guess, though. I can't guarantee it's true. At most, it just corroborates some information Reporter Xu provided me."

"Who is Reporter Xu?" Chen Yusheng caught the blind spot.

"Reporter Xu is just a reporter."

Su Bai scratched his head, looking very self-righteous.
