Liu Yu looked up.

The restaurant's name is very simple: Big Willow Tree Barbecue.

Su Wanqing: "This barbecue restaurant is recommended by celebrities, and the food is pretty good."

The two pushed open the door.

A waiter immediately came to greet us.

"Are you two? Please come in."

They walked to a table by the window.

After sitting down, Su Wanqing picked up the menu and skillfully flipped through it.

"Two servings of their signature marinated beef, one serving of premium fatty beef, one serving of pork belly, and one serving of grilled sausage..."

She looked at the items and clicked on them, then suddenly looked up at Liu Yu.

"Their grilled lamb kidneys are delicious too. Want some... to help yourself?"

Liu Yu was taken aback, then realized what she was teasing him about.

This kind of topic is often joked about among men.

But now it's Su Wanqing, a girl, a super beautiful girl, asking him in this tone...

He sat up straight and cleared his throat.

"To be honest, I work out regularly. I have eight-pack abs and I'm incredibly fit. As for this grilled lamb kidney—"

He met Su Wanqing's gaze!

"Two servings, please."

Su Wanqing burst out laughing.

While laughing, he said to the waiter, "Two portions of grilled lamb kidneys."

The waiter was amused, made a note of it, and then asked, "What would you like a drink?"

Su Wanqing: "Will you drink or not?"

Liu Yu: "Don't drink and drive!"

Su Wanqing: "Let's get a designated driver later. We'll have a drink to celebrate our first in-person meeting!"

Liu Yu raised an eyebrow: "Let's get one!"

"good!"

Su Wanqing said to the waiter, "Four bottles of pure draft beer, please. And a cold dish platter, please."

The waiter made a note of it and then left.

The two began chatting familiarly.

We talked about everything from "Peacekeeper Elite" to "DOTA2", from gameplay skills to team matches.

The more they talked, the more they clicked, as if they were back in the mood of playing games together.

"Where did you get that voice changer? It looks so real, I didn't suspect a thing."

"Professional. It cost a fortune. Otherwise, how could we have kept it from you for three years!"

"Why pretend to be a man!"

Su Wanqing remained silent for a few seconds.

"At first, I thought it was fun. Later, I found that playing games as a male saved a lot of trouble. No one would make dirty jokes at you, and if you won, you won, and if you lost, you were just bad at the game. It's simple."

Liu Yu: "When it comes to making dirty jokes, you're the real expert!"

He gave a thumbs up!

Su Wanqing: "Get lost! I only make dirty jokes to you!"

"Why!"

"Because you are Liu Yu."

Those few simple words sent a jolt through Liu Yu's heart.

Just then, the dishes arrived.

The waiter placed all kinds of meat on the table one by one.

The baking tray was preheated and was sizzling.

Su Wanqing picked up the tongs: "I'll grill it, you just wait and eat."

Liu Yu: "How could I possibly accept that..."

Su Wanqing: "You should be secretly thrilled! A top beauty from Tsinghua or Peking University, getting barbecue for you—that's something you can brag about for a lifetime!"

She skillfully laid the beef on the baking tray, the oil seeping out and emitting a fragrant aroma.

Liu Yu looked at Su Wanqing.

The firelight reflected on her face, and her long eyelashes cast shadows under her eyes.

This girl can play video games, swear, drive, and grill meat.

It's so contradictory. And so captivating.

Su Wanqing didn't even look up: "What are you looking at? Are you starving?"

Liu Yu: "Your grilling skills are pretty good."

"That's right. I often bake at home."

Su Wanqing placed the grilled meat onto Liu Yu's plate: "Try it."

Liu Yu dipped the food in the sauce and put it in his mouth.

The beef was tender and juicy, and marinated just right.

"Mmm! Delicious!"

"Eat more if it's delicious."

Su Wanqing smiled and continued baking the next batch.

The two ate and chatted.

The four bottles of beer were quickly emptied.

Liu Yu's alcohol tolerance was average; after two bottles, he was already a little tipsy, and his face was flushed.

Su Wanqing seemed fine; her cheeks were slightly flushed, but her eyes were clear.

"Two more bottles, please?"

Liu Yu waved his hand: "No, no, I'll get really drunk if I drink any more."

After we finished eating the barbecue, it was already past 7 p.m.

It was already dark outside the window, and the neon lights of the commercial street were dazzling.

Su Wanqing called the waiter to pay the bill.

Liu Yu tried to pay, but she stopped him.

"I promised to treat you. You can treat me next time."

After paying, the two walked out of the store.

A cool evening breeze blew by, carrying the chill of late summer.

Liu Yu had been drinking, and the wind made him feel a little dizzy.

Su Wanqing took out her phone and opened the designated driver app.

"Call a designated driver. Wait a moment."

She made a few quick moves, and soon a driver accepted the order.

The distance shown is 3 kilometers, and the estimated arrival time is ten minutes.

The two returned to the underground parking garage to wait.

A few minutes later, an electric scooter stopped on the side of the road.

A young man got out of the car, looked around, and saw Su Wanqing.

"Are you Ms. Su? Your phone number ends in 6688!"

"It's me," Su Wanqing nodded.

When the designated driver arrived in front of the Cullinan and saw the car, he was clearly taken aback.

He walked around the car, his expression turning somewhat troubled.

"Um... Ms. Su, I'm a little hesitant to drive this car."

"Why!"

"It's too expensive. What if I accidentally scratch it? I... I can't afford to pay for it."

Liu Yu understood his concerns.

Let alone the designated driver, even he was nervous sitting in the passenger seat.

"It's fully insured, so drive as much as you want. If there's any problem, you won't have to pay for it."

The designated driver was still hesitant.

Su Wanqing: "I'll give you an extra three hundred yuan as a tip."

Money is indeed the most effective tool for persuasion.

The designated driver gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll drive carefully!"

Su Wanqing handed him the car keys, then opened the back door and said to Liu Yu, "Sit in the back, it's spacious."

Liu Yu got into the back seat.

The space was indeed large; he felt he could lie down and sleep.

Su Wanqing got into the car from the other side and sat next to him.

The designated driver sat in the driver's seat, adjusting the seat and rearview mirrors with great care.

The car slowly drove out of the parking lot.

The designated driver was extremely cautious, never exceeding 50 mph, signaling in advance when changing lanes, and going through corners as slowly as a snail.

Cars honked at him to hurry him up, but he ignored them and insisted on maintaining his safe speed.

We walked in silence, the only sound the music from the stereo.

The river breeze is blowing my hair around.

Holding your hand—a wave of inexplicable emotion washed over me.

I want to take you back to my grandma's house.

Watching the sunset together until we both fell asleep

After driving for about twenty minutes, the car stopped.

"arrive."

Liu Yu looked up at the window.

It's a... e-sports hotel.

Su Wanqing paid a tip, and the designated driver left, thanking her profusely.

"Did you bring your ID card?"

Liu Yu nodded: "I brought it...but..."

He looked at the e-sports hotel, then at Su Wanqing.

"It's too late, aren't you going back to your dorm?"

Su Wanqing: "Tomorrow's a holiday, no room checks tonight. Let's... play games tonight."

Liu Yu: "Playing games!"

"yes."

Su Wanqing said matter-of-factly, "You forgot! I told you I wanted you to teach me how to play DOTA2."

Liu Yu then remembered that she had indeed mentioned wanting to learn DOTA2.

But he thought it was just something he said casually...

"So...the reason for bringing your ID card is..."

"Book a room. It's an esports hotel; you need to register with your real name. What did you expect?!"

Su Wanqing shook her head in disgust: "Comrade Liu Yu, your thoughts are too dirty, absolutely too dirty!!!!"

Her eyes held a mocking glint, and Liu Yu's face flushed instantly.

So embarrassing.

Su Wanqing leaned closer to him and whispered in his ear.

In a voice that only two people can hear:

"I brought a very sexy nightgown..."

Liu Yu's heart skipped a beat.

"And fragrant stockings."

Liu Yu's breath hitched.

Su Wanqing stepped back, looked at his flushed face, and smiled like a fox.

So... are we going to get a hotel room or not?

Liu Yu swallowed.

Then, he heard his own voice:

"open!"

"Play games!"
