Villain: Madam, would you like to dine with me tonight?

"It's really you, Brother Cao, Happy New Year! I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"What? Could it be that I often appear in your dreams in a special form?"

"(????)"

Her hair is as long as ink, and her eyebrows are as slender as willows.

At the beginning of the new year, all your wishes come true.

The familiar teasing made Sang Yu understand that he was not dreaming.

The huge surprise made her feel dizzy.

With red cheeks and tender face, Sang Yu said lightly: "Brother Cao~"

Just as he was about to put down his bowls and chopsticks to greet her, the next second his smile froze in embarrassment.

Xu was so happy that all her eyes were on him, and she had just ignored Xi Ning, who was standing side by side with Cao Bin.

When he first saw Xi Ning and Cao Bin clasping their fingers together, his heart was stabbed hard again.

The two girls looked at each other across the distance, Sang Yu felt awkward and awkward.

Fortunately, he responded promptly and smiled politely: "Senior Xi Ning, long time no see. Happy New Year~"

"Happy New Year, Sangyu schoolgirl~"

"Come on, come on, Brother Cao, Senior Sister Xi Ning, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, and order whatever you want, I'll treat you~"

Sang Yu quickly cleared away the finished table for the two of them.

"You guys read the menu first, and I'll prepare clean dishes for you."

"Hey! What do you mean? We've been waiting for half an hour and there's no seat. Why did they jump in the queue and get seated when we got in? You want to have a barbecue and open the back door, right? Do you want to do business?"

As soon as Sang Yu left the windshield, he was stopped by a table of customers queuing up behind him.

Cao Bin felt embarrassed when he saw this. Just as he was about to pull Xi Ning up and go to rescue him, Sang Yu already had a response.

"I'm so sorry, boss. The two people just made reservations very early, so they didn't jump in line."

"Reservation? Who are you kidding? You're making a reservation at a shabby roadside stall, right? Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I'm really sorry. This is indeed my problem. To express my apology, we will send you a wasabi squid and a stir-fried stir-fry later as an apology. Do you think that's okay?"

"Free?"

"Of course it's free for you."

"In that case, it's okay if I want braised beef for stir-fry!"

"Of course, please wait~"

"Then help me pack it together with what I just ordered. I'll take it away."

The customers who took advantage of it seemed to be embarrassed to dine in again, but they wanted to come back next time if the taste was good.

Cao Bin saw this and smiled knowingly.

In terms of human relations and sophistication, Sang Yu has always been at ease.

"I'm causing trouble to you, Sang Yu~"

"Brother Cao, you're out of sight when you say that~"

Sang Yu put the clean bowls and chopsticks in front of the two of them and said with a smile: "This is called causing trouble. If you help me, wouldn't it mean that I would be like a cow and a horse and I won't be able to pay it back in the next life?"

Cao Bin waved his hand: "It's not as serious as you said."

My heart said that if I really wanted to be a cow or a horse, wouldn’t I have to give him grass?

"So, let's stop being polite. Sister Xi Ning, please be casual with me. Don't be polite~"

Xi Ning pursed her lips: "Yeah~"

Outside the barbecue shed, Sang Yu's mother Shen Zhijuan, who also handles barbecue, looked curiously at Cao Bin Xi Ning's table.

Seeing her daughter come out with the menu, hesitating for a long time, she finally couldn't hold back and said: "My dear, the cost of beef and squid is only [-] yuan less. I'll give it to you as promised. Don't you feel bad?"

"Mom, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Those two are your friends?"

"Well, good friend."

"That's all right."

Sang Yu's mother was a little disappointed: "It's a pity that two people came here holding hands. I think that young man looks very handsome and it would be better if he came alone."

"Mom! Don't talk nonsense!" Sang Yu, who was already worried, had a red face.

"Hey~ Is there something fishy, ​​my dear? I'm telling you, when have you ever been so enthusiastic about another boy? Don't make any mistakes. I saw that young man and that little girl were holding hands."

"Mom! It's not what you think."

"I'm not the girl I thought I was. Why are you blushing?"

"It's cold! Besides, he is our family's benefactor, so I should be warm to people."

"Benefactor? You mean..."

"That's right, Dad's kidney source came from Brother Cao and his company."

"Then his family must be rich and powerful, right? ... Then he wouldn't have planned to use this to coerce you early on, right?"

"What are you talking about? Mom, Brother Rencao didn't let me know at all when he did this. Afterwards, I took the initiative to find out and came to thank him. Only then did he reluctantly admit that if I didn't check, I might never know it was him in this life. Very helpful."

"Don't ask for anything afterward. He didn't even want to let us know. If you think so, he knows how chilling it is."

At this moment, Sang Yu had forgotten that he was also wary of Cao Bin at the beginning.

Now and then, maybe it's all in the eye of the beholder.

"That's what I thought wrong. My daughter, you did the right thing. It's a big favor for saving my life. Not to mention a portion of beef, I should give you a cow."

"You are not allowed to accept money from others later. No, you are not allowed to accept money from others again in the future."

"Do you even need to say that?"

"No~"

The honest Shen Zhijuan wiped her hands with her apron.

"Mom, why are you going?"

"My dear daughter, please open a bottle of beer, and the two of us will go toast to our benefactor."

The way ordinary people express their gratitude is always so simple and unpretentious.

Sang Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry and quickly grabbed her mother: "Mom, Brother Cao is not a big brother in society, and he still toasts. Since he has no intention of letting us know, just keep this feeling in your heart and slowly pay it back later. You will only do this if you do it now." It makes him feel embarrassed, and he might just leave without eating."

"That's right. My dear, you go and stay with us. We don't need your help here. Mom is going alone. You can't neglect your benefactor!"

"..."

5 minute later.

Sang Yu was forced by her mother to accompany Cao Bin and Xi Ning.

"Auntie, you really don't have to be so polite."

"I can't help it. My parents are both people who accept death. She will be angry if I don't come."

After opening a bottle of beer, Sang Yu poured himself and Cao Bin a glass each.

"Senior, would you like some?"

Xi Ning shook her head and pointed to Wangzi next to her: "Thank you, I can just drink this."

"By the way, Sang Yu, is there a restroom nearby?"

"Yes, there is a public toilet across the road. You can walk about 20 meters to get there. I will take you to Sister Xi Ning."

"No, I can just go by myself when I see you. You guys talk first, I'll be right back~"

Xi Ning Wenwen stood up quietly.

The public restroom was right across the street, and her back was always in Cao Bin's field of vision.

But after Xi Ning left, Sang Yu, who was originally very natural, suddenly didn't know what to say.

When their eyes met, the atmosphere became inexplicably ambiguous, and even their heartbeats accelerated.

"Brother Cao, Happy New Year~"

I don’t know what to say so I raise my glass.

"Good friends don't have to find excuses to drink. You can drink whenever you want. And you said this before."

Cao Bin teased: "How about we talk about something else? For example..."

"what?"

"Do you still want to be my wife?"

"(°ー°〃)"
