How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

"Hmm? Are we having a barbecue?"

Wen Xueyu doesn't dislike barbecue, it's just that barbecuing easily leaves her with too much oil and cumin smell, which isn't refreshing.

"Of course not. It's so hot today, why bother with a barbecue? You might as well just roast me. There are people who specialize in grilling nearby, and we can just eat."

"That must be expensive, right?"

Xu Yan interrupted and asked.

Ma Jiamin smiled and then looked at Qin Yifan, "It's alright, Young Master Qin is here, he'll take care of things."

Qin Yifan rolled his eyes. "You really have no conscience at all. All those photos I took for you earlier were for nothing."

"So what? You made me look 1.3 meters tall in your photos and you still have the nerve to talk!"

"You're not tall to begin with."

"I'll go to you!"

Qin Yifan quickly dodged Ma Jiamin's flying kick and hid next to Xu Yan. He put his arm around Xu Yan's shoulder and said, "Women are really scary, aren't they?"

Xu Yan smiled and looked at Qin Yifan, "Have you forgotten something?"

"What about the go-kart bets?"

Qin Yifan: ...

"Damn it! You're not even human!"

"Trying to renege?"

"Screw you!" Qin Yifan glanced at the remaining people with annoyance, then said, "You guys go over to the barbecue area first, Xu Yan and I will go buy drinks, what do you want to drink?"

"Sprite!"

"Cola!"

"Lorda Ice Tea!"

Xu Yan looked at Wen Xueyu, who hadn't spoken, and asked, "Where's the cod burger?"

"Huh?" Wen Xueyu blinked, seemingly not quite understanding.

"Did you get brainwashed by the latte? Then I'll buy you bottled water, which will save Young Master Qin some money."

"No way! I want coconut juice!"

Zhang Zhiwen couldn't understand why Xu Yan spoke so harshly and didn't tolerate girls at all, but when Wen Xueyu answered him, although she seemed angry on the surface, her tone was so sweet.

He hates this world that judges people by their appearance.

"Then let's go, you guys go first."

Qin Yifan and Xu Yan walked side by side toward the drinks section.

Following the direction where the setting sun gradually intensified, as if a wildfire were spreading across the sky, Qin Yifan looked at the boy beside him with one hand in his pocket and suddenly asked:

"Your relationship with Wen Xueyu is getting better and better."

It seemed like a casual remark, just something said offhand, but Xu Yan knew that Qin Yifan wasn't such a bored person.

He smiled and said, "It's alright. Codburger is quite simple. If you're really friends with him, you can get along quite well."

"True friendship?"

"if not?"

"Hiss..." Qin Yifan narrowed his eyes, "I feel like you're making some scumbag remarks. Actually, it's okay if you honestly confess whether you have feelings for Wen Xueyu or not. I think you two are quite a good match."

Xu Yan said thoughtfully, "Actually, I think you and Sister Ma are quite a good match."

"Sister Ma? Ma Jiamin?!"

"Yeah, I really like it, you know?"

"Get lost! Don't disgust me, I fucking dislike skeletons!"

Qin Yifan turned his head away, his face somewhat like the clouds on the horizon.

After walking a short distance, Xu Yan suddenly asked curiously, "There are still so many detached houses around here."

There are many houses resembling detached villas standing neatly on both sides of the road, with the style of small Western-style buildings.

Qin Yifan nodded, "You can stay overnight here. Of course, staying in places like this in the scenic area will be more expensive. There are also cheaper hotels outside, but you'll have to walk a bit further."

"Oh...but why is this building so big?"

Further inside these small detached houses, Xu Yan suddenly spotted a villa that was significantly larger. "Is that a swimming pool up there?"

"Yes, I remember this one is called Tianzi No. 1, the most expensive one in the house, with a private swimming pool and sauna."

"You seem to know this place well, do you come here often?"

“My dad owns some shares here.”

Qin Yifan said it casually.

A casual remark hurt the heart of a poor boy.

Just as Xu Yan was about to clutch his chest and berate Qin Yifan for his "inhumanity," his gaze, which had been fixed on the rooftop swimming pool of "Tianzi No. 1," caught a glimpse of a figure.

He was stunned for a moment.

I thought I was seeing things, but when I looked again carefully, the figure had disappeared from the edge.

"What's wrong with you? Did just the tip of the iceberg cause your brain to shut down? I'm so sorry for hurting your young heart."

Qin Yifan said with a sneer.

Xu Yan rolled her eyes at Qin Yifan, annoyed. "Who was talking to you about that? I wanted to ask you..."

Before I could even speak, my phone vibrated in my hand.

He curiously took out his phone to look, and it was...

Ye Shutong: [I see you.]

"..."

That's really true!

Xu Yan said that she was young and mentally healthy, so she wouldn't be hallucinating.

The familiar figure I saw by the pool on the third floor of Tianzi No.1 just now was her!

Xu Yan immediately stopped and quickly replied to the message.

[It really is you? What are you doing there?]

Ye Shutong replied quickly, but Xu Yan still couldn't see her figure from the edge of the third-floor railing. For some reason, the sound of ocean waves seemed to surge in his mind.

It felt like an impending hallucination, no... it should be called a premonition.

If you want to know, come find me.

"..."

Xu Yan put away his phone and frowned.

What is this guy up to?

I hate people who keep you in suspense and only tell you half the riddle. Do they think they can fool me by saying such things?

This is really a case of playing big with small cards... What are you going to do about the 300 axemen you've assigned?

Seeing Xu Yan frowning, Qin Yifan asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"I suddenly have a stomachache and need to go to the bathroom. Why don't you go buy it first?"

"...When the hell did your stomach hurt? Why now of all times? I'm carrying all those drinks by myself, are you even human?!"

Xu Yan looked at Qin Yifan sincerely, "I believe that with your strong physique, you can do it easily. I'm really in pain, and I can't hold it in any longer. You wouldn't want that..."

"Go now! You son of a bitch!"

As Qin Yifan watched Xu Yan run off, his impatient expression gradually disappeared, replaced by suspicion.

"You got a stomachache just from looking at your phone? You're kidding me."

……

Chapter 67 Underwater Dance?

The so-called "Number One in the Sky" is probably one of the gimmicks of this scenic spot.

After all, such venues cannot simply focus on 'affordable' prices; they also need some top-tier establishments to elevate their prestige.

However, when Xu Yan actually got closer, he still felt that it was indeed quite nice.

The lawn at the entrance is real, and it has a faint scent of fresh grass.

Some tall green plants also peek out from the courtyard wall, arranged in an orderly manner.

Standing outside and looking at the paint on the walls inside, it seemed different from ordinary houses. Even the font on the doorplate, "No. 1 in the Sky," was different from other detached houses.

Wow, they're really rich.

Xu Yan thought to himself, and then typed on his phone.

I'm at the door, but it's locked.

Looking at the smart lock at the door, Xu Yan waited for a reply.

"Click".

"The door is open, welcome home."

A sound came from the smart lock.

A second later, Xu Yan received the reply: [Open.]

Information can be delayed? That seems reasonable.
