When their lovely childhood friend returned, they were all in a panic!

Upon hearing this, Mu Anqi raised her head, and there was no sign of tears on her lovely face.

"Pretty much."

Mu Anqi muttered.

"Qingyan, let me tell you, Bai Yu, that guy, took me to do a lot of bad things when we were kids."

Mu Anqi deliberately made a gesture as if she were whispering.

"Anqi, tell me about it."

Luo Qingyan was very cooperative and listened attentively.

Luo Qingyan was also very curious about Bai Yu's past.

Because you fall in love with someone, you want to know about their past and everything about them.

This is about a person's desire to explore, and it's also the most fascinating aspect.

But Bai Yu wasn't happy about it, because Mu Anqi knew all about his dark past.

You can get shot even when you're just grilling some meat.

"Don't believe her lies! At most, she led me to do bad things!"

Bai Yu, his face dark, hurriedly spoke.

Unexpectedly, his response was Mu Anqi's funny face.

Mu Anqi closed one eye, pulled at the other eyelid, and stuck out her tongue.

Although it's called a funny face, Mu Anqi's character model is still pretty unfair.

Even her funny faces were incredibly cute, making it difficult for Bai Yu to say anything hurtful.

Seeing that Bai Yu seemed a little anxious, Luo Qingyan became curious about Bai Yu's past.

Was he such a reclusive and quiet person actually a mischievous kid when he was young?

"Anqi, tell us quickly, let's ignore him."

"Haode!"

Two girls, both exceptionally beautiful but with completely different styles, reached a consensus and conspired together.

Bai Yu's past embarrassing history came out of Mu Anqi's little mouth in a jumbled mess.

Bai Yu's face turned black and green in turns upon hearing this.

Although it was awkward, Bai Yu wasn't particularly disgusted with her past self.

I just feel a little nostalgic, or rather, I should say envious.

I envy my past self who could seek happiness so carefree.

In short:

If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine, it doesn't seem like you are a teenager.

But this is actually quite good; it has transformed from a chaotic battlefield into a self-criticism session.

This result is still acceptable.

"It's almost cooked, who wants to eat first?"

Bai Yu flipped the grilled meat and spoke.

Thanks to Bai Yu's superb skills, the roasted meat was grilled until golden brown on both sides, sizzling with oil, and looked extremely appetizing.

The two girls, who were chatting happily, stopped and looked at Bai Yu at the same time.

Neither Mu Anqi nor Luo Qingyan uttered a word.

He appeared silent, but in reality, he was throwing the question to Bai Yu.

The choice was given to Bai Yu; whoever was given the food first indicated who Bai Yu liked more.

Luo Qingyan's eyes were tender and gentle, with a half-smile.

Mu Anqi was filled with anticipation and a little panic.

Wait, how did this turn into a battleground again?

Bai Yu took a deep breath, feeling that it wasn't a good idea to give it to either of them first.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into his mind.

Huh? I've got it!

Bai Yu took two tongs, picked up two slices of meat, and put them into Mu Anqi's and Luo Qingyan's bowls at the same time.

Since I have to choose, I want them all!

Fortunately, there were only two people; if there had been one more, they wouldn't have been able to handle it.

Seeing that Bai Yu had spread the bowl of water evenly, the tension in the air dissipated.

Mu Anqi sighed softly and picked up the piece of roasted meat that Bai Yu had placed in her bowl.

After dipping the meat in the dry seasoning, Mu Anqi put it in her mouth.

"Mmm! So delicious!"

Mu Anqi's eyes lit up immediately, and her expression clearly showed that she was very pleased with the meal.

The meat was grilled to perfection, neither raw nor overly savory.

Mu Anqi looked at Luo Qingyan, somewhat looking forward to seeing how she would react when she ate it.

She was still very proud to have such a talented childhood friend who was a great cook.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qingyan picked up the freshly grilled meat and placed it in Bai Yu's bowl instead.

"Bai Yu, you eat first, thank you for your hard work."

Her voice was light, pleasant, and tender.

This left Mu Anqi completely dumbfounded.

She looked at her empty bowl, then at Bai Yu, who seemed somewhat moved.

Oh dear! That's not fair!

You know I'm not very quick-witted, are you taking advantage of me because I'm stupid?

They even waited until I finished eating the meat in a panic before doing this.

That's really full of scheming!

Seeing Mu Anqi's anxiety, Luo Qingyan felt secretly pleased.

Hmph, I won this round.

"Thanks."

Bai Yu did not refuse Luo Qingyan's kindness.

After eating the barbecue, I noticed that Mu Anqi was biting her lower lip tightly, looking like she was about to cry again.

Dude, what's wrong with you now?

Mu Anqi, the little victim, was extremely aggrieved and wished she could bring her best friend Lin Siyu over to offer advice.

I really can't beat this wicked woman in front of me!

Bai Yu was also highly adaptable and vaguely guessed what was going on.

He quickly divided the roasted meat equally into everyone's bowls.

"Eat it all, eat it all."

After dividing the meat, Bai Yu continued to act as a tool, silently grilling the meat.

This chaotic situation is really tough to endure...

Luo Qingyan sandwiched the grilled meat with lettuce and ate it bite after bite, thoroughly enjoying the meal.

She looked at Bai Yu, who was intently grilling the meat, with slight surprise.

Not only is she thoughtful, but she's also a great cook!

What to do, I like it even more now...

After that brief exchange, Mu Anqi, with a playful smile, recounted past events to Luo Qingyan.

Luo Qingyan listened with great interest, after all, she understood Bai Yu better now.

However, there is one emotion that is very complex.

It's just jealousy.

Luo Qingyan was a little jealous that Mu Anqi could be by Bai Yu's side and experience so much happiness with him.

Gradually, Luo Qingyan felt very uncomfortable.

The happy memories I had with Bai Yu today were created because I hired Bai Yu to be my boyfriend for a day.

Even now, Luo Qingyan still can't be sure where Bai Yu's heart truly lies.

Should he place the blame on his childhood sweetheart, Mu Anqi, or on himself?

She dared not gamble, and so did Mu Anqi.

I'm afraid that in the end I'll have no friends left.

This barbecue ended amidst subtle and overt probing.

Originally, Luo Qingyan's plan was to end the day with Bai Yu taking a walk hand in hand along the lake.

But now that Mu Anqi is involved, we have to cancel it.

In the end, they could only go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.

"Qingyan, let's add each other as friends, so we can keep in touch."

After finishing her meal, Mu Anqi stood up and showed her QR code.

Luo Qingyan didn't refuse and added her by scanning the QR code.

Early autumn.

After reading the name, Mu Anqi glanced down at the profile picture.

Luo Qingyan's profile picture is still an adorable kitten.

Luo Qingyan's lips twitched after reading Mu Anqi's message.

What is a 1m85 innocent cockroach?

However, she didn't take it too seriously and left the barbecue restaurant first with her handbag on her back.

After Luo Qingyan left, Mu Anqi put away her radiant smile.

She glanced down at Bai Yu, who was still sitting.

To be precise, it was the couple's bracelet on his wrist.

The half of the blue heart lay there quietly, waiting for its other half.

"Bai Yu"

Mu Anqi spoke in a low voice.

"What's wrong?"

"What exactly is your relationship with her? Aren't you just her shield? Didn't your contract end?"

"Why...why did we wear this together?"

Mu Anqi grabbed Bai Yu's hand, the one with the bracelet on it.

"It's over. She said she took on a short romance drama to better immerse herself in the role and wanted to experience what it's like to be in love."

Bai Yu touched his nose, not daring to look Mu Anqi in the eye.

In his memory, the carefree and cheerful Mu Anqi had never spoken to him in such a voice.
