I really like your sand sculpture group friends

"Good evening." Noah nodded. "Yes."

"Then I won't bother you any longer." Mo Xiangwen nodded to her, then waved goodbye and continued walking forward.

Number seven, number eight. We've arrived.

As soon as he looked up, he met the girl's interested gaze.

Mo Xiangwen blinked, and subconsciously looked down at his phone to check the appointment information again.

Number eight, I'm not mistaken? Did he get the wrong number? Where are my silly group members?

When he looked up again, the playful black-haired girl winked at him, her smile even more pronounced than when he first saw her.

The girl next to her, who looked almost exactly like her, was looking down at the menu with a furrowed brow.

Aren't these the twins I met the other day when I was having chicken hot pot with my roommate? What are they doing here?

He glanced at the table card again, still unwilling to give up. In the center of the semi-transparent table card was a bright red number 8.

It's highly likely that they went to the wrong store. It's normal to have two or three Haidilao restaurants in such a large commercial street.

He turned and left without hesitation, and the next moment, the girl's anxious voice came from behind him.

"Hey, hey, where are you going, Xiao Yi?"

Mo Xiangwen felt as if his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, had finally been relieved.

The three of them lingered for quite a while before coming in, only to be greeted by this thrilling scene.

"Damn it, there's a traitor." Xi Shaojie exclaimed in a low voice, "I knew I couldn't trust Lao Mo, but I didn't expect him to betray me so quickly."

"Keep your voice down!" Zhong Taihong quickly covered his mouth, peeked out, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mo Xiangwen was not reacting.

Are you customers waiting for others? You can take a seat and wait.

Seeing the three of them lurking around the corner, seemingly doing something suspicious, the senior student came over and gently reminded them, "If you keep standing in the aisle, it will affect other customers coming and going."

"No, no, we've come to the wrong store." Zhong Taihong shook his head. "We'll leave now."

"Huh? Aren't you going to keep watching?" Xi Shaojie was taken aback. "At worst, we can just go eat at Haidilao."

"Don't be stupid. You can see where Lao Mo is, but Lao Mo can't see you?" Qin Yongfeng sighed and reminded him.

“Let’s go, let’s go.” Zhong Taihong also sighed: “I just wanted to prove that my feeling that Lao Mo would be a traitor was correct. I have absolutely no interest in what they are going to talk about later.”

"Holy crap, twin beauties! We can't just ask them out after meeting them only once a couple of days ago, can we?" Xi Shaojie complained, somewhat unable to accept it. "Then why didn't anyone ask me out?"

"You're not as handsome as Lao Mo," Qin Yongfeng muttered to himself, adding the final blow.

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death."

"Alright, alright, just kidding. He's having dinner with two girls, they're probably friends." Qin Yongfeng sighed, "I really don't know what you guys are thinking every day."

"Ah, right, right, they're all just friends." Zhong Taihong sighed. "Forget it, I don't want to stay here anymore. It's too stimulating. Let's go."

"Let's go, let's go. We'll torture him when he gets back."

The three of them quickly slipped out before the senior girl's skin turned red.

Mo Xiangwen, on the other hand, found himself in a dilemma.

If he hadn't been discovered, he probably would have turned around and left.

But since the other side directly called him "Xiao Yi," it proves that they not only saw him, but also already knew who he was.

No wonder, no wonder they were able to pay the bill for him when we had dinner together the other day.

At the time, he didn't realize that if he hadn't already been recognized, how would he know which table to pay for?

"Huh? Xiao Yi?" Su Mengli looked up when she heard the voice, and was a little confused when she saw that he had his back to the two of them: "Why didn't you just sit down when you got here?"

"I see you're still ordering." Mo Xiangwen forced a smile before turning around and saying, "I was just about to ask the waiter for another menu."

Su Mengli smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then you can order. I don't know what I want to eat either."

"No, you were just trying to run away." Su Mengyao snorted twice and exposed her mercilessly: "Running away as soon as you see us, isn't that a bit too much?"

"Hey, really?"

No, that's absolutely not true.

He retorted instinctively, sighed inwardly, and resignedly sat down opposite the two of them.

If he absolutely had to eat with a beautiful girl, he would rather eat with Yan Nuoya than with a new beautiful girl—or rather, two of them.

At least, at least he's gotten somewhat used to Yan Nuoya.

Mo Xiangwen tried his best to maintain a smile as he accepted the menu, wishing he could hide his face behind it.

Why? Why are my online friends all beautiful girls?

Those "brotherly" jokes he usually tells them... damn, I don't want to think about them anymore.

My stomach hurts today, so I shouldn't eat Haidilao.

P.S.: Going to bed early is a luxury.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Getting to Know the Geminis

"Beef, tripe, bean curd sheets..."

Every time he named a dish, the waitress would write it down on a piece of paper.

"Is there anything else you need?" the waitress asked with a smile.

"That's all. Let's see if the two students across from us have any other dishes they'd like to order."

Mo Xiangwen handed the menu back, but to his surprise, the other party simply put it aside after taking it.

"Let's leave it at that for now. We can eat slowly and talk about it later if we're still hungry." Su Mengli nodded to the waitress, "This is fine for now."

"Okay." The other party agreed and immediately turned and left.

Why don't you click?

Once the brief escape from reality brought about by ordering food was over, he had to face the immense pressure from the two emperors again.

He pinched his thigh, and the sharp pain jolted him slightly awake.

"I didn't expect you to be girls, and such beautiful sisters at that." Mo Xiangwen sighed, "Then let me introduce myself first."

"Mo Xiangwen, Xiang as in direction, Wen as in literature and art, please take good care of me."

“Su Mengli, Meng as in Yunmengze, Li as in Liuli.” Su Mengli looked at him, whose face was a little pale, with amusement and said softly, “I’ve finally met you, Xiao Yi.”

“Su Mengyao, Meng from Yunmengze, Yao from Yaochi.” Su Mengyao’s eyes were bright, her smile radiant, and her voice clear: “Xiao Yi, do you want to guess who is who between us?”

Although it wasn't explained very clearly, he could roughly understand that the other person meant to guess which group member it was.

“Su Mengli is the president.” Mo Xiangwen said without thinking, “Su Mengyao, you must be Xiao Huo.”

Su Mengyao shook her index finger slightly and said teasingly, "Then you guessed wrong. I am the president."

It seems that Su Mengyao had already discussed this with Su Mengli beforehand, because Su Mengli simply smiled and watched the two of them without saying a word.

“No, absolutely not.” Mo Xiangwen said with certainty, “Although you and the president look exactly alike, your personalities are too different. The president is not like you.”

Su Mengyao blinked and glared at him fiercely with her big, dark eyes, trying to put pressure on him with her gaze and make him mistakenly believe that he was wrong so that he would change his answer.

But the more this was the case, the more certain he became.

Only Xiao Huo would do something so slightly clumsy.

"Alright, Mengyao, you can't fool him." Su Mengli patted her silly sister's hand and then said to him, "Just as you guessed, I am the president."

Su Mengyao pouted in dissatisfaction and remained silent.

"Oh right, I almost forgot." Mo Xiangwen suddenly remembered the book and said earnestly, "Thank you for lending me the book, President."

“You’ve thanked us many times already, and you even treated us to a meal.” Su Mengli shook her head slightly. “The book has been well taken care of, so there’s no need to keep bringing it up.”

"After all, there is a difference between sending a message to express gratitude and thanking someone in person."

"Alright, alright, we're all group members." Su Mengli laughed, "Why are you so serious when we meet? I also want to be more relaxed with you, Xiao Yi."

"Just like you said, Xiao Yi is a total homebody, he has no experience dealing with girls," Su Mengyao complained. "Now that two girls he's never met are in front of him, how can he not be nervous?"

Su Mengli maintained a polite smile, then secretly reached down and pinched her silly younger sister's thigh hard.

"Ouch." Su Mengyao groaned in pain, glancing at her older sister with anger but not daring to speak out.

That's a good analysis; don't do it again next time.

If you absolutely must analyze it, at least don't say it out loud.

The three of them blinked at each other, an awkward atmosphere swirling around the table.

"Uh..." Su Mengli hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "It's just..."

After pondering for a while, Su Mengli still couldn't think of a suitable explanation, and was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"It's okay, I'm a shut-in so what?" Mo Xiangwen shook his head and said proactively, "Anyway, we've known each other for so long, I don't think this is an attack on me."

Upon hearing this, Su Mengli breathed a sigh of relief and glared at her silly younger sister with dissatisfaction.

This silly little sister is fine in front of her classmates, but she lets loose like this when she interacts with her group members.

However, thanks to Su Mengyao for bringing things up in the open, Mo Xiangwen now feels much more relaxed.

Just be the same as you were when you were in an online group.

If you really asked him to do something like someone who's good at interacting with girls, he wouldn't be able to do it right away, nor would he want to.

"Really? Anyway, we play games together and watch new anime together," Su Mengyao said nonchalantly. "Attacking him is just attacking myself."

Mo Xiangwen nodded, put on a serious expression, and said, "Then you're a shut-in."

Su Mengli immediately covered her cherry-like mouth with her small hand, her body trembling as she looked like she was having a hard time suppressing her laughter.

Su Mengyao glanced at him speechlessly, wrinkled her small nose, and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Xiao Yi is so stingy."

"Hello, these are your orders." The waiter pushed the cart next to them and placed the dishes one by one on the shelf next to the table, based on their order.

Now that the food is served, there's no need to just sit and chat.

He didn't know if the two sisters could handle spicy food, so he ordered a half-and-half hot pot.

However, I was under psychological pressure back then, but now that I don't have any psychological pressure, I might as well just ask directly.

He couldn't guess whether the other person was happy or not, but he was definitely not happy.

"Can you eat spicy food?"

Su Mengyao nodded: "I'm fine, but my sister can't handle spicy food very well."

Mo Xiangwen glanced at Su Mengli, who nodded slightly to indicate that she was not joking.

"Then let's put them in half."

“Well, speaking of which, these three people already make up half of the group members,” Su Mengyao suddenly said. “When we first arrived, Bai Bai and Ge Zi were saying in the group that they were really envious.”

"As for Pigeon, I don't know what she's thinking. Maybe she just wants to repeat a grade."

"Bai Bai probably really wants to come and participate, but I don't know if she'll have the chance."

“Hmm, I really don’t understand Pigeon.” Su Mengli nodded in agreement. “As for Bai Bai, I also hope to have the opportunity to meet her.”

Mo Xiangwen shook his head and explained on behalf of Pigeon, "Pigeon just likes to joke around, so he probably wanted to come too."

Although they had never met, he and Pigeon did share a considerable understanding of each other's hobbies, and he even felt that Pigeon's personality was quite similar to his own.

"Excuse me, I'll be leaving for a bit." Mo Xiangwen apologized and went to the restroom.

When he returned, he subconsciously glanced at the spot where Yan Nuoya had been sitting, only to find her still sitting there all alone.

Although it seems like quite a few dishes have been served, it looks like the other people haven't arrived yet.

Isn't Chapter Thirty-Eight just your fantasy?

What should we do? Should we go ask them?

What should be done if Noah's friends really don't come?

Should I invite Noah to have dinner with me? The first question is, will Noah agree?
