The next day, Xiao ShanJie pestered Huo Jian Sheng to take him out for barbecue.
Huo Jian Sheng glanced at him indifferently, "I thought you didn't like barbecue?"
"Who said I don't like it?"
Xiao ShanJie widened his beautiful eyes and pouted, saying, "I really love it, okay? Don't misunderstand me!"
Huo Jian Sheng rubbed his goosebumps-covered arm and scolded, "Can't you speak properly? Believe me, I'll beat you up!"
Whenever Xiao ShanJie used this affected voice to act cute towards Huo Jian Sheng, he would always give in. Not because he wanted to, but because it was too disgusting and he had no choice.
It was a tactic that never failed when dealing with Huo Jian Sheng.
"Fine, I'll go as long as you take me to eat barbecue!" Xiao ShanJie fluttered his eyelashes at Huo Jian Sheng and said.
"I'm not going!" Huo Jian Sheng's attitude was firm.
"Please, please!" Xiao ShanJie continued to act coquettish.
"Get lost!"
Huo Jian Sheng's temples throbbed, reaching his limit.
"Don't be so mean to me, I'm scared!" Xiao ShanJie patted his chest, looking frightened.
"Ah!" Huo Jian Sheng held his head, feeling exasperated. "Can't you speak like a normal person?"
"I can, take me to eat barbecue," Xiao ShanJie said in a normal tone.
Huo Jian Sheng surrendered. "Fine, let's go. I'm really afraid of you. You must have been born in the wrong body."
"If I were born a girl, would you marry me?" Xiao ShanJie blinked his beautiful big eyes and asked.
Huo Jian Sheng almost vomited his dinner from earlier and kicked him hard on the butt. "If you were born a girl, I wouldn't even look at you!"
Xiao ShanJie stumbled from the kick but regained his balance and asked, "Why? Is it because you love me in men's clothing?"
"Damn it! Believe me, I'll beat you up! Are you addicted to this?" Huo Jian Sheng was forced to swear and threatened to hit Xiao ShanJie.
"Hahaha..."
Xiao ShanJie covered his stomach and ran away quickly.
...
The second time at the food stall, Li Man's movements were noticeably faster, and she was no longer flustered.
Some customers who had come yesterday returned to buy again, and Li Man silently remembered their orders, noting their preferences. For those who liked spicy food, she added more chili peppers; for those who didn't, she skipped the spice. She didn't need the customers to remind her, as she would proactively accommodate their preferences. The customers were pleasantly surprised and gave her thumbs up.
She felt a sense of being valued, and the customers even ordered more skewers.
An Xin used to be a shy and reserved girl, but after receiving her wages yesterday, she worked even harder today. She would proactively call out to potential customers, sweetly saying, "Hey, brother, sister, come and have some barbecue. Our skewers are made with fresh meat~"
Her voice was pleasant to the ears, with a hint of sweetness, like a gentle breeze that made people feel relaxed and couldn't help but approach the food stall.
Surprisingly, after An Xin's call, business was even better than yesterday.
"Chen Xiaohui couldn't stop smiling, praising An Xin, 'Fantastic! Keep it up, darling.'
When Huo Jiansheng arrived with Xiao Shanjie, the stall was already packed with people. They couldn't squeeze their way in, so they had to join the queue outside.
Perhaps it was because the two of them were so handsome that when people saw them lining up, they ran over and joined the queue behind them.
By the time Huo Jiansheng realized it, a long line had formed behind him.
People, driven by the herd mentality, automatically join a queue when they see others lining up.
Li Man and Chen Xiaohui were startled when they saw it too. It was the first time they had seen people lining up to buy barbecue."
