Guess what I'm dead

Chen Shuo: "......"

Su Xiyan immediately became alert: "Your relative? I've never heard you have any relatives in Su City!!"

Chen Shuo took a glance at the honest-looking barbecue stall owner, and was really speechless.

The title of The Strongest Back-stabber in History should be given to this barbecue stall owner.

Before Chen Shuo could respond,

The barbecue stall owner, this ultimate back-stabber, actually learned to interrupt:

"Miss, your boyfriend's relative has arrived! He looks as thin as a monkey, your boyfriend asked him to eat but he didn't, and even got mad!"

"I was so frightened, thinking they were going to start fighting!"

"How could he disappear as soon as I turned around to flip the skewers?!"

Su Xiyan looked at Chen Shuo meaningfully: "Well? Give me an explanation!"

Only then did the barbecue stall owner realize he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and tried his best to remedy:

"Miss please don't get angry. When I was dating my wife, I hadn't met her relatives either! It was only after getting married that I gradually got to know them."

"So don't take it to heart. When it comes to marriage proposals, you'll naturally get to know each other's relatives!"

Turns out the barbecue stall owner thought Su Xiyan was angry because her boyfriend Chen Shuo hadn't introduced her to his relatives.

For many sensitive girls, this is indeed not a good sign, a minus for the guy.

After all, introducing your partner to your own family and relatives during courtship shows your recognition and acceptance of them.

If you deliberately prevent the girl from blending into your family and social circle, it means you're only fooling around with her, not worth entrusting.

The barbecue stall owner felt he had said the wrong thing and angered the girlfriend, so he tried his best to remedy, but only made things worse.

A complex smile crept onto Su Xiyan's cold face as she gazed at Chen Shuo, seeming to await a satisfactory explanation from him.

A herd of 10,000 grass mud horses drifted through Chen Shuo's mind~~~

He couldn't possibly tell Su Xiyan that he had just killed a vampire, could he? That would expose his abilities! How could he then hug Su Xiyan's beautiful legs...oh no, hug her thigh.

Things had already come to this!

Chen Shuo could only go along with the barbecue owner's words and continue explaining: "It was a distant relative I'm not very close with. He has some mental problems and tendencies to violence. I was afraid he would cause trouble so I didn't let him stay long."

"That's what happened."

Su Xiyan's eyebrows slightly arched: "Oh, so that's what it was!"

Chen Shuo hurriedly nodded: "Yes yes! It's really not what you think."

Su Xiyan asked back: "What do you think I'm thinking?"

Chen Shuo: "......"

"Alright alright, don't fuss over these details. Hurry and sit down to eat barbecue!"

"Still want to eat iron plate tofu? I'll go buy it for you."

Su Xiyan gave a cold snort, the words having double meaning: "No need."

"Weird weird, just what are you up to?"

"Chen Shuo, don't let me catch you by the pigtail."

Chen Shuo perfunctorily responded: "I know I know."

The barbecue stall owner walked over to Chen Shuo and lightly nudged him, reminding: "My wife says girls like to speak opposites. When she says no, that definitely means she wants to eat it."

"Why aren't you quickly going to buy her the iron plate tofu?"

Chen Shuo was nonchalant: "It's fine, if she says not to eat then she doesn't want to eat it. Don't use normal girls' thinking to speculate her thoughts."

The barbecue stall owner looked at Chen Shuo with a "can't get on the right track" expression, sighed, shaking his head while mumbling to himself: "What a pretty girlfriend! And doesn't even know to cherish her."

In the barbecue stall owner's mind, Chen Shuo was already quite an irresponsible smooth-talking scumbag.

Some girls around the barbecue stall heard the conversation between Su Xiyan and Chen Shuo, and started whispering among themselves. Although it was inaudible what they were saying, from their looks it was evident Chen Shuo had been labelled as a scumbag by them.

Seeing the girls around looking at Chen Shuo with disgusted expressions,

for some reason Su Xiyan felt very happy.

Chen Shuo felt like his toes were about to dig out a 3-bedroom apartment underneath him. He quickly called the owner over: "Boss, bill please!"

The honest owner quickly came over, still holding a packed skewer in his hand, seemingly trying to express apology for his inappropriate words earlier: "It's on me today, on me!"

No matter how Chen Shuo insisted, the owner kept saying it was free.

With no other option, Chen Shuo took out his phone to scan the QR payment code, estimated an amount, and paid.

"Going home now, what are you still standing there for?" Chen Shuo turned back to find Su Xiyan still standing in original spot.

Su Xiyan gazed at where Chen Shuo was previously sitting at the barbecue stall, seemingly lost in thought.

When interrupted by Chen Shuo, Su Xiyan then returned to her senses and followed behind him towards the parking area.

On the way, the two walked one front one behind, each having their own thoughts without speaking.

Chen Shuo held the packed barbecue skewers, suddenly remembering Su Xiyan seemed to not have eaten anything.

"Wait for me here, I'll go pack some iron plate tofu for you!"

Su Xiyan nodded: "Go on!"

After Chen Shuo left, Su Xiyan's eyes became calm. She still felt everything that happened tonight was too suspicious.

After some thought, Su Xiyan decided to tail Chen Shuo.

Chen Shuo's system was the best anti-tracking device. Even though he didn't see Su Xiyan, his system had been in a disabled state the whole time.

This meant Su Xiyan was following him.

This woman really has meticulous thoughts!

If it was a normal person they would have been fooled.

But I, Chen Shuo, am someone with a system!

Bet you didn't expect that! I'm cheating.

Chen Shuo secretly felt awesome. On the surface he pretended as if nothing was amiss, going to the iron plate tofu stand to buy a pack of slightly spicy iron plate tofu for Su Xiyan.

While waiting for the iron plate tofu to be prepared, Chen Shuo also went to buy a cup of cold, sweet and syrupy strawberry tart.

After buying the strawberry tart, the iron plate tofu was also ready.

The stall owner's wife beamed at Chen Shuo: "Young man also bought strawberry tart huh. Not many boys like to eat this! It's for your girlfriend right?"

Chen Shuo obediently nodded: "Yes! She can't take spicy food. After the iron plate tofu, the strawberry tart can relieve the spiciness."

Hiding around the corner, Su Xiyan listening to Chen Shuo say these sweet words made her feel uncomfortable.

Chen Shuo was so attentive, yet she actually doubted him? Fortunately Chen Shuo didn't know. Otherwise, this stubborn silly brother would definitely get angry again, and be very hard to coax.

Fearing Chen Shuo would discover her whereabouts, Su Xiyan left the snack street early.

Carrying the packed food, Chen Shuo returned via the original route.

Reaching the intersection where he had parted with Su Xiyan earlier, there was no trace of Su Xiyan.

A white AMG drove up steadily and stopped next to Chen Shuo.

Su Xiyan poked her head out from the driver's seat: "Get in the car!"

After entering the car, Chen Shuo properly put away the food, careful not to dirty Su Xiyan's car.

This woman's obsession with cleanliness was no joke.

After fastening his seatbelt, Chen Shuo casually asked: "Where did you go just now? After I bought the things and came back, didn't see you. Thought you went home first!"

Su Xiyan replied: "Went to get the car from the parking lot."

"Chen Shuo, I have a question for you."
