Qin Xin was surrounded by her companions and came to the entrance of the dining hall.

She watched Xiangxiang busy serving soup inside, and Song Anjing wiping tables and saving seats, and pursed her lips.

She didn’t step inside.

Instead, she said lightly, "Since it’s a celebration party, let’s eat out today."

Ao Xinghao’s eyes lit up, and he quickly responded, "I’ll book the restaurant immediately, how about the Western restaurant at the Imperial Mansion?"

Hu Yi suggested, "No, no, Galaxy Family is better. I just heard someone saying that those guys from the Royal Academy are always self-satisfied, thinking they can trample us down. They originally planned to celebrate at Galaxy Family, but now they can’t go, so let’s go and have a feast to spite them!"

Huo Zhen: "Wherever Sister Xin goes, I’ll go."

Ao Xinghao and Hu Yi gave him a glare: You sneaky guy, you’re the only one who can speak like that.

Qin Xin thought for a moment, "Those places are too far, let’s stay near the school."

Ao Xinghao suddenly had an idea, "How about barbecue? That barbecue place we went last time, the owner was really good at it. He arranged a tent, brought blankets, and also gave a hot water bottle for Sister Xin?"

Hu Yi slapped his thigh, "Agreed, their chicken wings and abalone are insanely delicious!"

Huo Zhen: "Agreed. As long as Sister Xin doesn’t dissect the fish."

Ao Xinghao and Hu Yi snickered: This clever little guy finally spoke some truth.

The fish that Sister Xin dissects is too terrifying.

The bones were bones, the innards were innards, the flesh was flesh, and the gills were gills, making people afraid to barbecue, feeling like the killer was eating the fish’s corpse!

The three mythical beasts longingly looked at Qin Xin, waiting for her decision.

Qin Xin recalled that Mr. Nalan was the landlord of that area, and the barbecue place and everything around it were actually his territory, so she nodded, "Okay."

Ao Xinghao immediately urged Hu Yi, "Quickly go call Song Anjing and Xiangxiang, tell them to stop busying themselves in the dining hall." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Hu Yi: "Got it!"

He ran off to pass on the message, and halfway through, he realized why he was following Ao Chongchong’s instructions?

Forget it, for Sister Xin’s sake, he wouldn’t quibble with Ao Chongchong.

Barbecue venue.

Qin Xin sat on a deck chair covered with a woolen blanket, with a heater by her feet, a hot water bottle in her hand, and exquisite snacks personally delivered by the barbecue owner’s boss beside her.

Ao Xinghao and the others were busy grilling meat.

Trays of freshly air-flown South American shrimps, New Zealand mussels, Imperial embroidered lobsters, and Oriental sweet scallops... sizzled on the grill.

It was simply a five-star barbecue...

Song Anjing couldn’t even take a sip of milk as she rolled up her sleeves to compete with Ao Xinghao for grilling the big prawns.

Xiangxiang, the chef, had no room to intervene and instead smiled as she brewed tea on the side, serving Qin Xin a cup of meticulously prepared hot floral tea, "Miss, here is monk fruit and tribute chrysanthemum, it’s very soothing, enjoy it with the barbecue and it won’t cause any heatiness."

Still so sensible, so attentive and considerate.

Qin Xin’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, "Mm."

Xiangxiang stood beside her, noticing she hadn’t taken a sip, wanting to ask if it was unpalatable but was too shy, so she pointed at the not-so-distant Ao Xinghao and remarked, "Miss, God Ao really remembers all your habits and preferences very clearly. He even counts the grains of salt on a shrimp, saying that if there’s one more grain, it’s too salty, and you won’t eat it."

Qin Xin responded with a "Mm" and suddenly spoke softly, "Don’t you also remember everything about me very clearly?"

Xiangxiang was taken aback.

Blinking her eyes, her tone was pure and firm, "Miss, it’s Xiangxiang’s duty, Young Master Jue instructed me to serve you, my entire existence’s purpose is to take good care of you."
