90 Let’s Go For A Barbecue?
Gu Man’s phone beeped. She opened it and saw a message from Xiang Yin: We’re going to the ghost market tonight.
Gu Man replied without hesitation: Okay.
The input box immediately showed “The other party is typing...” A moment later, she received a message from Xiang Yin: I’ll pick you up at your house at 11.
Gu Man entered another message: Okay.
On Xiang Yin’s side.
He looked at the two “okay” on his phone and sighed imperceptibly.
Gu Man was too cold to him.
11 p.m.
The Gu residence had already quietened down. At this moment, an agile figure shuttled through the dim lights. They jumped down from a window, crossed the courtyard, climbed up the wall, and jumped out of the Gu residence.
When the figure stood still, it was Gu Man.
Gu Man walked towards a black car parked by the roadside. A slender person was leaning against the car door.
Gu Man walked closer and took a look. She said to that person, “Second Master Xiang is wearing all black. Are you going to be a thief?”
Xiang Yin smiled. “It takes one to know one. I saw someone in black walking on the wall just now. Don’t they look more like a thief?”
Only then did Gu Man react. She was also dressed in black. When she climbed over the wall just now, she indeed looked more like a thief.
Gu Man did not feel awkward. “It seems like it.”
Xiang Yin said softly, “Let’s go.”
Seeing that Gu Man was about to open the backseat door, Xiang Yin teased, “Don’t treat me like a driver. Sit in the passenger seat.”
Gu Man sat in the passenger seat. “Bai Yun didn’t come?”
Xiang Yin tightened his grip on the steering wheel and a strange emotion arose in his heart. He asked calmly, “Are you surprised that Bai Yun didn’t come?”
“I’m indeed surprised. You guys are like conjoined twins,” Gu Man replied.
Xiang Yin glanced at Gu Man and realized that she did not look disappointed at all. Only then did the strange emotions in his heart dissipate.
“We found out that there’s an auction at the ghost market tonight. There’s something you want, that’s why we called you over.” Xiang Yin looked ahead and explained the reason why he called Gu Man out.
When Gu Man heard this, she was pleasantly surprised. “The Gold Sarira of the Goldwater Mountain of the Northern Kingdom really appeared?”
Gu Man had never thought that Xiang Yin would help her notice this. After all, she had only mentioned it once at that time and did not even tell them the reason.
Ordinary people would treat it as a casual remark.
“Yes, we won’t know the details until we see it at the scene,” Xiang Yin replied.
It was only half past eleven when they arrived at the ancient city. The ghost market had yet to begin. The two of them sat there with nothing to do, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
“Do you want to eat something?” Xiang Yin asked.
“Sure.” Gu Man recalled that she did not know what the auction would be like. It was good to fill her stomach a little. Moreover, she had to find something to do. Otherwise, the two of them would be staring at each other. It was indeed boring.
“What do you want to eat?” Xiang Yin asked again.
“How about we go to the barbecue street we just passed?” After Gu Man said that, she realized what an unbelievable suggestion she had made.
Would a young master like Xiang Yin go to such a place?
To Gu Man’s surprise, Xiang Yin nodded without hesitation. “Sure.”
Gu Man looked up at Xiang Yin. Seeing that he did not look forced, she wanted to ask, Second Master Xiang, do you know what a barbecue street is?
The barbecue street was not far from the ancient city. It was only a five-to-six-minute drive.
When they arrived at the barbecue street, Xiang Yin’s black Bentley stood out among the ordinary cars.
The two of them got out of the car and walked on the bustling street. The heat and fragrance of the barbecue swept over. Many people were bare-chested and chatting loudly. One could even hear them burping.
The moment Gu Man and Xiang Yin appeared, they attracted the attention of many people. This handsome man and beautiful woman were wearing matching black clothes. It was obvious that they were rich people who came out to experience life.
Gu Man felt that it did not matter. Perhaps the original owner had been to such places from time to time, so she did not feel unfamiliar.
Apart from the men who were drunk and had beer bellies, Xiang Yin felt that everything else was acceptable.
Moreover, Gu Man did not seem to be uncomfortable, so he was even more indifferent.
