111: 111. BBQ

Zhang Wenfa's mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg, and his eyes were as round as copper bells. He looked at Lu Feng, then at the heavily disguised Wang Yuxi, stammering, "Ol...Old Lu...she...she...Wang...Wang...?"

Lin Wanqiu was also completely stunned, almost dropping her phone.

All her previous doubts were instantly answered!

So...so Wang Yuxi was really interacting with Lu Feng on stage just now! They...actually knew each other?! And seemed very familiar?!

Su Yan and her two other roommates covered their mouths, letting out a series of suppressed gasps, utterly disbelieving!

Wang Yuxi looked at these dumbfounded university students, seemingly amused. She pulled down her mask slightly, revealing a smiling mouth, and whispered, "Shh...keep it down, don't attract a crowd."

Then her gaze swept over them, finally landing on Lin Wanqiu beside Lu Feng, and she teased, "Oh? This pretty little sister, she has such a good temperament. Could she be your girlfriend?"

Lin Wanqiu's face instantly turned red, and her heart inexplicably sped up. She secretly glanced at Lu Feng, wanting to see his reaction.

Lu Feng smiled helplessly and explained, "Sister Yuxi, don't play matchmaker. This is my senior, Lin Wanqiu, and these are all my classmates and friends."

He briefly introduced Zhang Wenfa and Su Yan and the others.

"Hello, everyone."

Wang Yuxi smiled and waved at them, her attitude as warm as a girl next door, completely without any celebrity airs.

Everyone was flattered, both nervous and excited, not knowing where to put their hands and feet, only mechanically responding, "Wang...Wang-jiejie, hello!"

Wang Yuxi waved her hand, completely disregarding her image and the setting, and complained like she was meeting an old friend, "Oh, I'm exhausted after the performance, and I haven't had dinner yet. Perfect! Come on, let's go get some late-night snacks! I know a barbecue stand outside the school that's amazing!"

A movie queen...actively inviting people...to eat street-side barbecue?! And she actively invited Lu Feng?!

Holy cow! This scene was too surreal!

Zhang Wenfa looked at Lu Feng as if he had seen a ghost.

Lu Feng lightly coughed, trying to decline, "Sister Yuxi, I'm with my classmates, and there are so many of us, it might be inconvenient. How about next time...?"

Wang Yuxi waved her hand grandly and said boldly, "What's inconvenient about it! We're all one big family! Your classmates are my classmates, let's all go together! The more, the merrier!"

Her temperament, a stark contrast to her noble and elegant image on screen, plunged Zhang Wenfa and the others back into an unreal sense of daze.

And so, the group, in a daze, was led by Wang Yuxi through the bustling crowds to the lively and noisy food street behind the Drama Academy.

Having studied at this school for four years, Wang Yuxi knew the area better than anyone. She expertly found a long-standing street-side barbecue stall, picked an inconspicuous spot, and sat down directly, calling out to everyone, "Come on, sit down, don't be shy!"

She picked up the greasy menu on the table, scanned it, and without even thinking, shouted to the boss, "Boss! 20 lamb skewers, 30 beef skewers, 10 large kidney skewers, a plate of spicy crayfish, and a case of ice-cold beer!"

Her demeanor was more local than the locals.

Lin Wanqiu and the others were still in an excited state. The first thing they wanted to do when they met their idol was to get an autograph, but they didn't have any paper or pens with them.

Wang Yuxi saw through their thoughts and smiled, "Want autographs? Easy! In a few days, I'll send a stack of signed photos to Little Feng, and you can just get them from him! Guaranteed everyone gets one!"

"Really?! That's great! Thank you, Wang-jiejie!!" The girls immediately cheered.

Zhang Wenfa also excitedly elbowed Lu Feng, "Old Lu! Godfather! You absolutely must get them for us! Don't you dare keep them for yourself!"

Lu Feng looked at their expressions and sighed helplessly, "Got it."

Wang Yuxi was completely unpretentious. She proactively poured beer into disposable cups for everyone, clinked glasses with Zhang Wenfa and the others, chatted about interesting university stories, and even casually spilled some harmless gossip about film crews, which everyone listened to with great relish.

"Come on, Little Feng, cheers!"

Wang Yuxi raised her glass, looked at Lu Feng, and with a mischievous smile in her eyes, said, "You promised to drink with me last time, you can't back out tonight!"

Lu Feng smiled, picked up a bottle of beer, and clinked it with hers, "Alright, a promise is a promise. I wish Sister Yuxi a brilliant career and smooth sailing."

"Thank you!"

Wang Yuxi's eyes curved into crescent moons from her smile, clearly in a very good mood. She tilted her head back and downed a glass of beer, then let out a hearty "Ha!" completely without any celebrity pretense.

As the skewers and crayfish were successively served, filling the air with their aroma, Wang Yuxi urged everyone, "Eat, eat! This place tastes super authentic! Skewers aren't good once they get cold!"

Zhang Wenfa and his classmates, initially shocked and reserved, were slowly infected by Wang Yuxi's enthusiasm and began to eat. But what the skewers tasted like, they probably couldn't tell, because everyone's thoughts were almost entirely on Lu Feng and Wang Yuxi!

One was just a freshman, the other a renowned powerhouse in the entertainment industry; by all accounts, they shouldn't have any connection.

What was Lu Feng's background? How could he make Wang Yuxi so genuine, even intimate, in front of him?

This huge question mark lingered in everyone's minds, and no one could figure it out until this surreal late-night snack ended.

Wang Yuxi was already a bit tipsy. No one else present could drink much, and Wang Yuxi had consumed at least half a case of beer, but she was still in good spirits.

After paying the bill, a nanny van quickly and silently pulled up.

The assistant hurriedly got out of the car and ran over, seeing Wang Yuxi sitting at the street stall, her face filled with anxiety and lingering fear, "Oh, my dear! Sister Yuxi! How did you end up here! And drinking...if..."

Wang Yuxi waved her hand, relaxed, "It's fine, my younger brother is here!"

She put her arm around Lu Feng's shoulder and said, "Little Feng, I was really happy tonight. It's been a long time since I've been this relaxed. Next time! Next time, I'll take you to an even better place!"

She truly regarded Lu Feng as a trustworthy younger brother, feeling an inexplicable sense of security when he was around.

"Alright, alright, next time I'll treat."

"Then it's a deal! No backing out! Goodbye, everyone, see you next time!" Wang Yuxi was very happy. After waving to everyone, she got into the car with the help of her assistant, and the car quickly disappeared into the night.

Leaving Lu Feng and a group of classmates who couldn't snap out of their daze for a long time.

On the way back to school, after a brief silence, there was a complete explosion!

Zhang Wenfa and the others immediately surrounded Lu Feng, chattering away:

"Lu Feng! Old Lu! Godfather! You better tell us! When did you meet Wang Yuxi?!"

"How did you meet? Tell us, tell us! Is there some shocking secret?!"

"Is Sister Yuxi that close to you?! She actually invited you to eat street food?! It's like a dream!!"

Faced with the barrage of questions and the burning gazes of everyone, Lu Feng smiled helplessly, "Well...I met her by chance before. She's quite easygoing and doesn't have any airs."

This understated explanation clearly failed to satisfy everyone's burning curiosity.

But no matter how much they pressed, Lu Feng only smiled without speaking, or skillfully changed the subject.

However, the more he did so, the more impatient the others became, and Lu Feng became even more mysterious in their eyes...
