Zhou Chen pushed the door and walked in. It was now past seven o'clock, which could be said to be the beginning of the barbecue restaurant's business. The storefront of this Bafang BBQ was very large, with nearly twenty tables inside. At this moment, more than half of the tables were occupied by customers.
There were six of them in total, and they found a square table that was just enough for all six of them.
"It's my treat today, everyone can eat whatever you want, just take it."
Fang Yifan waved his hand and said with great pride.
Qiao Yingzi said, "Fang Hou, don't try to show off. The food here is not cheaper than in a restaurant."
Fang Yifan said angrily, "Yingzi, you look down on me too much. Just order whatever you want to eat and eat as much as you want."
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. Don't save money for me. Eat as much as you want. Take what you want."
After saying that, he took the plate and went to get the skewers. Zhou Chen didn't bother to be polite with Fang Yifan and started to choose as well. Then everyone else also started to take action.
A few minutes later, the six people chose their food and sat together again.
"Would you really like to drink some beer?" Fang Yifan asked again.
"Zhou Chen, Ji Yangyang, how about we have some?"
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Okay."
"Frank, Zhou Chen, you are still frank. Ji Yangyang, what about you? You are not afraid to drink, right?"
Ji Yangyang didn't want to drink at first, but after being mocked by Fang Yifan, he immediately became angry: "Who doesn't dare to drink? Drink, am I afraid of you?"
"Ji Yangyang, why don't we just forget it?" Huang Zhitao wanted to stop him.
But Fang Yifan said loudly: "Taozi, don't worry about it. This is a matter between us boys."
Qiao Yingzi was actually a brave person. She pulled Huang Zhitao and said, "Taozi, don't worry about them. Let them drink. They are right in front of our house. Nothing will happen."
"It's not a good idea. They are all students. It's not good for them to drink." Huang Zhitao still didn't want Ji Yangyang and the others to drink.
"It's okay, let's just have some beer."
Fang Yifan shouted, "Boss, give us a case of beer."
"okay."
A box of beer was delivered quickly. Fang Yifan gave everyone a cup and also got a bottle of orange juice for Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao.
"Leier, would you like some beer too?"
Fang Yifan opened three bottles of beer, gave one to Zhou Chen and Ji Yangyang respectively and one for himself, then asked Lin Lei'er.
"No, no, cousin, I don't drink." Lin Lei'er was startled and quickly refused.
"Don't, Lei'er, you're old enough now, you can't be so shy anymore, men should drink."
Fang Yifan opened another bottle and wanted to give it to Lin Lei'er. Lin Lei'er's face turned pale with fright. At this time, he had just arrived in Yanjing not long ago and had not yet developed a deep relationship with Fang Yifan's family. So he didn't dare to drink at all, for fear of causing dissatisfaction from his aunt's family.
However, Fang Yifan has one bad point, which is that he often lacks good eyesight. When he saw Lin Lei'er refused to drink, he became very unhappy and insisted on pouring beer for Lin Lei'er.
"Alright, Fang Hou, if Lei'er doesn't want to drink, then don't drink. Give it to me, I'll drink it for Lei'er."
Zhou Chen couldn't stand it anymore, so he snatched the beer from Fang Yifan's hand and scolded him dissatisfiedly: "You are not a competent cousin at all. How can you cheat your brother like this?"
Although Zhou Chen had only known Lin Lei'er for a short time, he still had a good impression of her.
Among all of them, Lin Lei'er is the most pitiful.
No matter what the family situation of others is, they all have parents after all. Lin Lei'er is the only one. Although he still has a father, it is worse than having no father. Just like Zhou Chen's father in this world, they are both scumbags among scumbags.
However, Zhou Chen at least still has his uncle and the countless properties left by his mother, but Lin Lei'er has nothing. He came from afar and lived in his aunt's house under the roof of others.
Fang Yifan's family was indeed very good to Lin Lei'er, but no matter how good they were, it was not as happy as an original family.
Every time Zhou Chen saw Lin Lei'er acting timidly and cautiously, he felt quite uncomfortable.
"If you don't know, you would think Lei'er is your brother."
Seeing that Zhou Chen was protecting Lin Lei'er, Fang Yifan stopped feeding Lin Lei'er wine.
Zhou Chen said to Lin Lei'er, "Leier, don't worry about your cousin. Just drink the beverage like Yingzi and the others."
"Thank you." Lin Lei'er thanked him quietly.
Looking at the timid Lin Lei'er, Zhou Chen didn't say anything. He knew that Lin Lei'er's character could not be convinced by others in just a few words. It would take a long time and subtle changes.
"Today is Yingzi's birthday, let's toast to Yingzi first." Fang Yifan suggested.
This proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone, so everyone raised their glasses, some drank, some drank beverages, and all clinked glasses with Qiao Yingzi.
"thank you all."
Qiao Yingzi was very happy. Although she had celebrated many birthdays, she had always celebrated them with her parents. This was the first time she celebrated her birthday alone with her classmates. This free and easy atmosphere made her feel very comfortable.
"Yingzi, as the birthday girl today, don't you want to say a few words?" Fang Yifan asked.
"Yes, Yingzi, say a few words." Huang Zhitao rarely agreed to Fang Yifan's suggestion.
Qiao Yingzi has a cheerful personality and was not shy at all. Instead, she picked up the cup.
"First of all, I want to thank everyone for celebrating my birthday. This is the first time I celebrate my birthday with my classmates. I will always remember it. Secondly, I want to thank Fang Yifan for treating us all. Today it's Fang Yifan's treat. Next time I'll be the host and treat everyone to a good meal."
"it is good."
Fang Yifan clapped his hands vigorously: "Yingzi, we all remember what you said. You owe us all a meal."
"You are so capable." Qiao Yingzi glared at Fang Yifan fiercely.
Fang Yifan chuckled, then looked at Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, it's your turn. Tomorrow is Yingzi's birthday. Your birthday present should be ready, right?"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Chen.
"No, Zhou Chen, don't listen to Fang Yifan's nonsense. You don't have to give me a gift."
Qiao Yingzi didn't know the situation, and she didn't want to embarrass Zhou Chen, so she quickly spoke up to excuse Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen glanced at Fang Yifan. This kid just told him about this matter last night, and he brought it up today. He really just wants to watch the fun and not be afraid of trouble.
However, he did not panic, but said calmly: "The gift has been prepared a long time ago, but I played basketball today and did not have it with me. I will give it to Yingzi on her official birthday tomorrow."
Hearing that Zhou Chen actually prepared a gift, Fang Yifan immediately became interested: "Zhou Chen, tell us quickly, what gift did you buy so that we can open our eyes, is it a necklace or a ring?"
"Fang Hou, do you deserve to be punished?"
Qiao Yingzi yelled at Fang Yifan angrily, "Are necklaces and rings acceptable gifts for classmates?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 226 Their respective wishes
Fang Yifan was not afraid of Qiao Yingzi's threats at all, and said with a smile: "The gift we gave you is different from the gift Zhou Chen gave you."
"Fang Yifan, can you please shut your fucking mouth?"
Zhou Chen glared at Fang Yifan. This kid was a very cautious person. Others would just make a joke or two, but this guy would talk for a long time if you didn't stop him.
"Okay, I won't say it. But you can always tell us what gift you have prepared, right?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
Zhou Chen angrily said something to Fang Yifan, then said to Qiao Yingzi: "Yingzi, I have prepared the gift. I will give it to you tomorrow. Is that okay?"
"Zhou Chen, you don't have to be so polite." Qiao Yingzi said rather embarrassedly.
Zhou Chen: "I've already bought it. At worst, you can buy it for me on my birthday."
In fact, he hasn't bought it yet, but Fang Yifan has already said this. If he says he hasn't bought it, wouldn't it seem that he doesn't care about Qiao Yingzi?
"This, okay."
Seeing Zhou Chen's firm attitude, Qiao Yingzi had no choice but to agree.
Because there were so many people in the restaurant, the barbecue was served slowly, so Zhou Chen and his friends ordered some cold dishes and ate them while drinking beer.
Although Pan Shuai had reminded him before, Zhou Chen didn't think that a few boys drinking beer would have much of an impact. The three of them were all over 18 years old and adults, so drinking less beer was not a problem.
"Fang Hou, drink slowly. Don't act like you've never had beer before."
Seeing Fang Yifan gulping down half the bottle, Zhou Chen immediately shouted at him, saying that this guy has no idea and he should not be allowed to do whatever he wants.
Several other people also said the same thing to Fang Yifan.
"Today is our birthday celebration for Yingzi. Yingzi, as the birthday girl, please tell us what your wish is. If we can help you, we will definitely help you fulfill it."
"Wish?"
Qiao Yingzi was silent for a while under everyone's gaze, and then she said, "I have many wishes. First, if possible, I hope my parents can get back together. Second, I hope to be admitted to the Department of Astronomy at Jinling University. The other wishes are just small wishes, so I won't talk about them."
"Yingzi, it is really difficult for us to help you with your two wishes." Fang Yifan scratched his head. He really could not help with these two things.
Qiao Yingzi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't expect you to help me."
Zhou Chen wrote down Qiao Yingzi's wishes. These two wishes were similar to the plot in the TV series, and could be said to be the biggest wishes hidden in Qiao Yingzi's heart.
Because there were so many people around, Zhou Chen didn't tell Qiao Yingzi that he wanted to help her.
Zhou Chen said: "Since it's rare for us to get together, let's talk about our wishes. Fang Yifan, you go first."
Fang Yifan scratched his head, thought hard for a while, and then answered: "My wish is to catch up with my goddess Tao Zi."
"what."
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Huang Zhitao, who was so angry that he yelled at Fang Yifan: "Fang Hou, I told you to say your wish, don't talk nonsense."
Fang Yifan: "I'm not talking nonsense, Taozi, for now, my biggest wish is indeed to be your boyfriend."
"Shut up. I'm telling you now that this is impossible." Huang Zhitao was a little exasperated.
Seeing Huang Zhitao's reaction, Fang Yifan's expression changed. He was not really heartless.
"Cough cough."
Zhou Chen coughed twice and said to Fang Yifan, "Okay, Fang Hou, stop joking and tell me your wish."
Qiao Yingzi also quickly changed the subject: "Yes, Fang Hou, Taozi is shy, don't make fun of her."
Fang Yifan could only walk down the stairs: "I'm just kidding, Taozi, don't mind it, I was just joking to liven up the atmosphere."
Huang Zhitao was still angry and said, "Don't make such jokes next time." After saying that, he glanced at Ji Yangyang.
But now Ji Yangyang didn’t have any thoughts about Huang Zhitao, so he just sat there and listened.
Fang Yifan patted the table and said again: "My wish, well, I hope to go to college as soon as possible, far away from home, and enjoy college life freely. It would be even better if I could become a big star in the future."
"You want to be a big star?" Qiao Yingzi sneered disdainfully.
"Don't look down on me. I will definitely become a big star in the future."
It was just a casual remark, but after being provoked by Qiao Yingzi, Fang Yifan immediately stiffened his neck and shouted.
"Lei'er, tell me, what is your wish?" Zhou Chen said to Lin Lei'er.
Lin Lei'er held the water cup in both hands, with a sad look on his face. After more than ten seconds, he spoke: "I want to fulfill my mother's wish. My mother's wish is that I get admitted to Shuimu University."
"Ambitious."
Zhou Chen gave a thumbs up. No matter which era, high school students who set their goal to attend Shuimu University are worthy of respect.
Fang Yifan patted Lin Lei'er on the shoulder and said, "Leier, you will definitely be admitted to Shuimu University. I believe in you, and the spirit of my aunt in heaven will bless you."
After hearing what Fang Yifan said, Ji Yangyang and the others realized that Lin Lei'er's mother had passed away, and they hurriedly offered their condolences.
Lin Lei'er wiped away her tears and said firmly, "Well, I will definitely be admitted to the Department of Physics at Shuimu University."
Seeing that the atmosphere was so sad, Zhou Chen quickly changed the subject and asked Ji Yangyang, "Ji Yangyang, what about you?"
"me?"
Ji Yangyang didn't think much about it and answered directly: "My wish is to become an excellent racing driver and participate in racing competitions around the world."
Huang Zhitao followed up by saying, “My wish is to be a doctor, as good as my parents.”
After everyone finished speaking, they all looked at Zhou Chen.
"Zhou Chen, what about you?"
Zhou Chen: "As for me, to be honest, I have never thought about these things in this world. If I have to say something, it is to find a suitable girl to marry, and then travel around the world to see the scenery. If I have the ability, I will do charity and help those in need."
Zhou Chen's words made Fang Yifan and the others a little confused, because what Zhou Chen said was completely different from what they said.
