53 -53: Owing Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Barbecue Meals
When he sat down in the classroom for the second period,
Lin Shuang wrote the string of numbers “0823” on his notebook.
This was the so-called “memory clue” given to him by System Lady.
Lin Shuang looked at the numbers from left to right, even turning his notebook upside down.
Still no clue.
Is it some password?
A phone number extension?
Or does it mean August 23rd?
It’s the end of March in Huai City, early spring, the weather alternating between warm and cold.
Sometimes it’s so hot you want to wear short sleeves, other times so cold you wish you could put your down jacket back on.
August 23rd is still almost half a year away.
The teacher, during the ancient philosophy class, was sharing a philosophical anecdote with them.
Lin Shuang opened the calendar on his phone and flipped to August 23rd of the same year later.
The yellow calendar below marked, suitable for: opening business, praying, getting married, having children.
Avoid: traveling, groundbreaking, burial, opening light.
Lin Shuang shook his head.
Man conquers nature!
Believing in these things isn’t good.
At noon that day, Su Wan and Lin Shuang planned to eat barbecue outside.
Barbecue again, and Lin Shuang is treating.
According to Su Wan, counting on her fingers, he still owes her six hundred and thirty-six barbecue meals.
“How could it be that many!”
Lin Shuang was sure Wanwan secretly increased the count.
Sitting across, Su Wan swallowed a bite of grilled beef, her expression as if intending to clarify every single detail.
“When we were in middle school, I stayed overnight at your place, and you barged into the bathroom saying you wanted to join me in the bath, remember?”
“I was going to tell your mom you were being a pervert, but you bribed me with a barbecue meal.”
Lin Shuang was shocked, “That was ten years ago!
I definitely settled that long ago!”
As Su Wan flipped the sizzling oily barbecue, “It’s just an example, anyway Lin Dasha, you still owe me thirty-six barbecue meals, I’m keeping tabs.”
“You remember so clearly?”
Lin Shuang smiled and pulled out a napkin, reaching over to wipe the corner of her mouth.
She simply grasped the napkin with her mouth and continued flipping the meat.
“I have a great memory.”
Mumbling with the napkin in her mouth, Su Wan’s voice was indistinct.
But Lin Shuang still understood.
“Then do you remember in high school, when I visited your place, we secretly drank a glass of your uncle’s liquor?”
“Then you started drunken boxing, stripped naked, and ran around the house.”
“Pulling me along saying we should see who could pee farther?”
Awesome, it was time for them to reveal each other’s embarrassing histories.
These topics, with their childhood friendship spanning over a decade, could keep them talking for three days and nights.
Come on, let’s hurt each other!
Su Wan put the well-grilled meat into the sauce bowl, coating it with chili powder, garlic, and green peppers.
She stuffed the barbecue into her mouth, throwing a coquettish glance at him.
“I only remember the oh-so-innocent bystander Lin Shuang feigning cute and crying ‘meow meow meow’.”
Su Wan, killing the game.
Lin Shuang raised his hands in surrender, dutifully taking on the role of the barbecue chef.
“Please, let’s never bring that up again!”
Su Wan raised a finger, “Add one more meal.”
“Deal!”
“That makes thirty-seven.”
“Thirty-six sounds more smooth though!”
After finishing the barbecue, they strolled around the mall where the barbecue restaurant was located.
These newly opened large malls integrate dining, drinking, and entertainment.
The floors below are for clothes, above there’s a layer of food, a cinema, and a play area.
Things like 4D games, escape rooms, murder mystery games, go-karts, a small zoo, and an arcade.
Basically, they have everything, you can only think of it but can’t play it.
Lin Shuang remarked, “All those malls that opened when we were kids are mostly closed now.”
“That New Asia Mall, we thought it was so luxurious when we were little, now it’s closed too.”
“Yeah, we used to go to the bookstore there to read books.”
Su Wan stretched lazily, “You see, people always crave the new and forget about the old; once there’s a new mall, they don’t want to go to the old ones anymore.”
Lin Shuang frowned, “Why are you looking at me when you say that!”
What responded to him was a kick from Su Wan.
“Why aren’t you wearing stockings today!”
“Look at the weather today!
It’s so hot, who would wear stockings!”
“You’ve changed, you used to wear black stockings in the summer for me to see.”
Then he received another kick from Su Wan.
The two playfully entered the arcade.
It was lunchtime, and the usually busy dance machines were empty.
Lin Shuang made a dance invitation gesture to Su Wan, “Wanwan, shall we dance a bit?”
Su Wan raised her eyebrows, smiled, and said, “Do you want to see mama dance?”
“I kind of do.”
“Keep dreaming, I just ate!
You want mama to get a sagging stomach, an ulcer, a perforated stomach!”
“Who curses themselves like that!”
Wanwan had learned dancing in her childhood too and had snagged Lin Shuang to be her dance partner.
Later, little Lin Shuang ran away because “there were too many girls in the dance studio and he was too shy.”
Without Lin Shuang, little Su Wan stopped learning to dance as well.
Remembering the past, Lin Shuang shook his head sadly, “What a pity, Wanwan, with your figure, you should have kept up with the dancing.”
“If it wasn’t for you not joining mama in learning!
A genius in the dance world was lost!
It’s all your fault!”
Su Wan expertly placed the blame on Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang spread his hands and sang, “It’s all my fault~”
Su Wan immediately followed with, “Is admitting your mistake now useful?
No use!
We need another meal of barbecue, right?” freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Lin Shuang generously declared, “Okay, put it on my account!
Young Master Lin will pay!”
During this lunchtime, Su Wan had added quite a few more barbecue meals to his tab!
Suddenly, Lin Shuang felt that the thirty-six meals were probably Su Wan being merciful, definitely underreported.
Su Wan dragged him towards the claw machine area in the arcade.
This area was also a popular section in the arcade.
At this time, there were also several couples grabbing dolls.
Probably all here to digest after eating.
As they walked over, Su Wan and Lin Shuang saw a couple striking it lucky.
The boy had grabbed a little doll and handed it to the girl.
The girl was incredibly happy.
Su Wan poked Lin Shuang’s shoulder, “Can you do it?
Get a beautiful girl one too?”
Lin Shuang spread one hand towards her, “You pay, and I’ll play!”
Su Wan slapped his hand reluctantly.
But still sprinted off to exchange for Game Coins.
Other passing girls saw Lin Shuang and disdainfully sidestepped.
Actually letting the girl pay!
Must be a mark for criticism.
Family, who understands!
This man is too cheap!
Lightning avoid!
And Lin Shuang…
At that moment, Lin Shuang was reliving the feel of Wanwan’s hand slapping him.
Compared to little maid Tong Yao’s hand…
which was a bit softer?
Truly a cheap move!
