Mo Shenbai was surprised. “Barbeque? It’s so sudden, I’m afraid the kitchen won’t be able to prepare everything in time.”

“Let’s go out and eat. I want to eat at a barbecue restaurant and drink cold beer,” Xu Youyou said, energized by the thought of barbecue. It seemed like her back was no longer sore, and her legs were no longer weak.

“You want to drink beer?” Mo Shenbai frowned.

Xu Youyou’s expression fell slightly. “So what if I want to drink beer? You got what you wanted earlier, but now, you’re not going to let me do what I want. Men are all pigs…”

Mo Shenbai felt helpless. He poked her cheek and said, “What nonsense are you spouting? When did I say I wouldn’t let you drink?”

Xu Youyou’s eyes lit up immediately. “Alright! Let’s go, let’s go!”

After saying that, she got out of bed excitedly and ran to the wardrobe to pick out a change of clothes.

Mo Shenbai looked at her with a happy expression on his face. His heart was filled with warmth, and he felt even more satisfied than when he reached his peak earlier during their bedroom activities.

…

Xu Youyou chose the barbecue restaurant. In the past, she often came to eat here with Xu Jialu and Su Lanxu. However, each time, those two would eat and drink cold beer while she was only allowed to have corn juice. Today, she could finally eat barbeque and drink cold beer. She was like a child whose wish had been granted, filled with excitement. She was in such a good mood that she was humming during the entire journey here.

Barbecue restaurants usually saw a boom in business during summer. Moreover, since it was dinner time when Xu Youyou and Mo Shenbai arrived, the restaurant was packed. The tables in the restaurant were all occupied, and there were only two empty tables left outside.

The owner knew Xu Youyou. Since it was Mo Shenbai’s first time here, he naturally did not recognize Mo Shenbai. Nonetheless, he could tell Mo Shenbai was not an ordinary person. He said considerately, “If you don’t want to sit outside, just wait for a while. Perhaps, the private room will be vacated soon. You can walk around the street while waiting.”

The barbecue restaurant was located on a street lined with restaurants and also snack and food stalls. It was especially lively at night, filled with people milling around.

Xu Youyou looked at the tall and handsome man next to her with a gaze that seemed to ask, “Is it okay to eat outside?”

Mo Shenbai was dressed very casually in a white shirt and a pair of grey pants since they were only going to have dinner. He seemed more grounded compared to the usually unreachable air he exuded. His temperament seemed to have become warmer.

Mo Shenbai was worried Xu Youyou would be hungry so he did not want to wait for the private room. He said, “Let’s eat outside.”

Mo Shenbai was not as pampered as most people assumed. Most people assumed he only ate at fine dining restaurants or Michelin-starred restaurants. However, he had eaten those cheap foods before. It was just that he did not like greasy food. He preferred lighter food, which was also better for the health.

Xu Youyou happily pulled him to one of the empty tables outside and sat him down. She skillfully washed the cutleries and cups in the small basin of hot water as she ordered the without looking at the menu.

The owner had a good memory. After listening to Xu Youyou’s orders, he said, “It’s the same as usual.”

Xu Youyou nodded. She knew what she liked.

Mo Shenbai raised an eyebrow and asked, “Did you come here often in the past?”

Xu Youyou placed a cup in front of him as she said, “In the past, my brother, Lanlan, and I often came here to eat.”

They did not care about where they were seated; as long as there was an empty table, it was fine. Sometimes, if there was no table, they would even order takeaways and eat by the roadside. It was quite interesting to see people coming and going as they ate.

Mo Shenbai’s emotions were hard to discern as he said calmly, “He’s never invited me out for barbecue before.”

Mo Shenbai thought that if Xu Jialu invited him out to this barbecue restaurant, perhaps, he would be able to meet Xu Youyou sooner. The earlier he met her, the earlier he would be able to snatch her away from another person. He felt frustrated and helpless that he had met her so late.

Xu Youyou smiled and defended her brother. “My brother probably thinks you won’t like this kind of place.”

After all, Mo Shenbai had eaten all kinds of delicacies before. She wondered if he ate the spicy cumin here that stimulated one’s taste buds, would it damage his delicate stomach?

Mo Shenbai looked at her and gently poked her forehead. “You’re not allowed to defend other men.”

Xu Youyou rubbed her forehead, feeling wronged. “He’s my brother! My biological brother!”

“Let alone your brother, even your father won’t do,” Mo Shenbai said domineeringly. He was very calculative about the space in her heart. He wanted to completely occupy her heart; no one else was allowed to occupy her heart.

Xu Youyou: “…”

‘Mo City’s King of Jealousy is back!’

The owner personally served Xu Youyou. He brought the skewers over before he brought the beer.

When the crayfish that Xu Youyou ordered arrived, she grabbed the disposable gloves, intending to put them on before shelling the crayfish. However, before she could do so, the man next to her had already taken the gloves away.

Xu Youyou turned to look at Mo Shenbai.

Mo Shenbai put on the gloves and began to shell the crayfish. He said calmly, “I’ll peel this plate of crayfish for you.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Youyou was slightly stunned. Then, she said shyly, “You stalked my Weibo?”

In the past, Xu Jialu would help Xu Youyou to peel the crayfish, but there were also times that he did not. Once, she had cut her finger while shelling the crayfish. After that, she had taken a picture of her finger and posted it to Weibo with the caption, ‘I really wish someone would say, “I’ll peel this plate of crayfish for you.”‘

When she had posted that post, she had hoped that Lin Yin would see it and do such a thing for her. She did not expect the person who said those words in the end turned out to be Mo Shenbai.

“It’s not just this plate. From now on, I’ll peel them all for you,” Mo Shenbai said. He placed the peeled crayfish on her plate and said, “Eat, little greedy cat.”

Xu Youyou did not eat. Instead, she took a picture of Mo Shenbai’s hand and the peeled crayfish on her plate. She posted it on Weibo with the caption, ‘Someone said he’ll shell everything for me in the future’.

Soon after Xu Youyou posted, those idle followers, who were subjected to Xu Youyou’s display of love, commented one after another.

Netizen 1: Ah! Is that your boyfriend’s hand? His fingers are long and well-defined! It’s said one can tell the prowess of a man in bed through his fingers!

Xu Youyou glanced at Mo Shenbai’s fingers furtively. ‘His fingers are indeed long and distinct. No wonder every time he did that…’

Netizen 2: Is he the very powerful 13-times-a-night man?

’13 times a night…’ Xu Youyou frowned slightly. Her face burned immediately when she was reminded of that embarrassing incident. She moved her hand, wanting to delete that comment. If Mo Shenbai saw it, he would definitely tease her again.

Mo Shenbai continued to place food on her plate. He did not even look at her as he said, “Eat. Even if you delete it, I can still see it if I want to.”

It was just a matter of making a phone call to him.

Xu Youyou removed her finger from the delete button and said guiltily, “I, I wasn’t going to delete any comment. They didn’t say anything strange…”

“Really?” Mo Shenbai raised an eyebrow as he said, “Let me have a look.”

 Xu Youyou quickly set her phone down on the table with a loud thump before she said, “Eat! Let’s eat! I’m starving. Don’t play with your phone during dinner.”

Mo Shenbai did not expose her. As he ate the barbecued lamb, he did not forget to help her shell the crayfish and shrimps that were just served as well. The taste was not bad, but he did not like food with such a heavy taste. He naturally did not say anything since he did not want to ruin her mood.

As Xu Youyou ate, she would take a sip of the beer. She was eating very happily when suddenly the sound of a phone ringing rang in the air.
