At dusk.
The summer breeze could not blow away the heat of the sultry weather.
In such weather, the most appropriate activity was sitting at a roadside stall and skewering a few lamb kebabs.
And around Yanjing University, there was a street full of barbecue stalls.
Today.
There was a person at one barbecue stall who was particularly eye-catching.
Because at this table, there was not only an exceptionally beautiful woman, but also a pair of delicate and cute little girls.
At that moment.
Zhao Xuehui lifted a pint of draft beer and said to Xue An, “Old Second, don’t say anything else, you drink this glass first!”
Xue An smiled, took the glass, tipped his head back, and down went the drink.
“Wow, it looks like Old Second’s tolerance has improved!” the boss said with a laugh.
At that moment, Xue An had let down his guard as well.
Because these three people had given him so much warmth during the four years of university.
He remembered once when Xue An had no money for living expenses and lay in bed all day without eating.
Out of pride, he merely said he didn’t feel like eating.
The three of them didn’t say much.
But when evening came, the boss came in with a takeout order, fretting, “Old Second, I ordered a takeout for Old Three, but the guy had already eaten. Help me out and eat this, will you?”
Saying this, Zhao Xuehui put down the takeout and left.
At that time, Xue An didn’t think much of it, picked up the takeout, and was about to eat.
Then Old Three, Qiao Le, also came in with takeout, “Second brother, I bought this for the boss, but he went to drink. You eat it for him!” With that, he left as well.
Xue An was stunned.
Then came Old Four, Yang Binyi, sweating profusely, holding a serving of KFC, “Second Brother, Third Brother said he wanted KFC. I bought it, but he doesn’t want to eat now. You eat it!” After placing it down, he too hurriedly left.
That night, Xue An ate three meals with tears streaming down his face.
“These four years…” Xue An filled another glass of draft beer, about to speak.
Zhao Xuehui waved his hand, “No need to say anything, brothers don’t need anything else, just having you back safely is enough!”
Xue An paused, then smiled, “Alright! Then today, we won’t return unless we’re drunk!”
An Yan had been quietly watching all along. When the beer was finished, she refilled it.
When there were no dishes left, she went to order more.
Her gentle and obedient demeanor made many onlookers envious.
At this time, apart from Xue An, the other three were slightly tipsy.
“Second Brother, I always said, you and Sister-in-Law were sure to make it. And look, the kids are already so big! But that’s not cool of you, not inviting us to the wedding!” Qiao Le said.
Xue An smiled, “We haven’t had the wedding yet!”
Zhao Xuehui frowned and nudged Qiao Le, who realized he had misspoken and was about to apologize.
Xue An waved his hand and said with a light laugh, “The reason we haven’t had the wedding is that I want to give her the most unique and romantic wedding in the world. Then, I want to make her the happiest bride.”
Xue An’s words made tears glint in An Yan’s eyes.
However, the three brothers didn’t take it too seriously, thinking Xue An was just drunk.
“To celebrate Old Second’s return, let’s all drink together!” The boss stood up, raising his glass.
“Sure!”
Everyone responded thunderously and drank together.
And just when the alcohol was at its peak, a taxi stopped by the curb, and a dolled-up woman got out.
The woman looked around, and when she spotted Yang Binyi, she stepped towards him.
Upon seeing the woman, Yang Binyi quickly stood up, a happy smile on his face.
“Luo Jia, you’ve come!”
Luo Jia slightly furrowed her brows and nodded coldly, then sat down.
Yang Binyi flashed a smile at Xue An, “Second Brother, this is my girlfriend, Luo Jia!”
“Luo Jia, this is my Second Brother!”
Luo Jia glanced at Xue An and said dismissively, “I thought it would be someone important. I wasted half a day putting on makeup for this.”
The atmosphere turned awkward.
Yang Binyi’s face turned from green to white.
Xue An just smiled slightly, undisturbed by the comment.
Zhao Xuehui and Qiao Le exchanged glances, then started to stir up the atmosphere.
“Come on! Second Brother, let’s have a drink!” Qiao Le said cheerfully.
Just as the atmosphere at the dining table began to normalize,
Luo Jia’s cell phone rang. Her smile brightened when she checked the caller ID.
“Hello, Young Master Wang? Why do you have time to call me? Oh, it’s your birthday party today! Alright! I’ll be right there!”
After hanging up, Luo Jia arrogantly said to Yang Binyi, “Now take me to Imperial Capital KTV. Young Master Wang has invited me to his birthday, and I must attend!”
The embarrassment showed plainly on Yang Binyi’s face, “But right now …”
“Oh come on, what’s the use of drinking this useless alcohol all day? That’s Young Master Wang, you know. You could make some useful friends if you went too!” Luo Jia said impatiently.
Yang Binyi’s face turned an iron blue.
Zhao Xuehui hastily said, “Alright, Little Fourth, just go drop off your sister-in-law. If you can come back later, we’ll wait for you! It’s not safe for her to go alone late at night!”
Yang Binyi looked at Xue An apologetically.
Xue An smiled slightly, “Big Brother is right, go ahead!”
Yang Binyi nodded with difficulty, “Okay, then you all have to wait for me, tonight us brothers won’t go home until we’re drunk!”
Luo Jia snorted through her nose, stood up, and walked away with pride.
After Yang Binyi and Luo Jia had left,
Qiao Le, still annoyed, slapped the table, “I really can’t stand it anymore, what’s so good about that woman? Look how she’s bewitched Little Fourth—he’s almost possessed!”
Zhao Xuehui sighed, “Come on, Little Third, to each their own. Little Fourth has had a tough family background, and Lu Jia has been his classmate since high school. He spent years chasing after her; naturally, he dotes on her.”
“Is that what you call doting? Look at that woman’s face; she acts like someone owes her a fortune!” Qiao Le was still angry.
Xue An, however, just smiled, “Big Brother is right, if Little Fourth is willing, who are we to say anything.”
The remaining three continued to drink and chat.
In the midst of their animated conversation, Zhao Xuehui’s phone rang.
“Hello, Little Fourth? What’s wrong?”
A moment later, Zhao Xuehui stood up abruptly, his face all seriousness.
“Alright! I’ll be right there!”
Qiao Le was also startled, “Big Brother, what happened?”
“Little Fourth got into a fight at the party with those guys!” Zhao Xuehui said grimly.
“Damn it, dare to bully my brother!” Qiao Le grabbed a beer bottle from the table and made to leave.
Zhao Xuehui stopped him, “Little Third, calm down first. We’re dealing with Wang Ke here!”
At the mention of Wang Ke, Qiao Le also seemed defeated, “Then what do we do? Just sit back and watch Little Fourth get bullied?”
Zhao Xuehui was visibly agitated, racking his brains for a way to rescue Little Fourth.
Just then, Xue An put down his glass and asked indifferently, “Who is Wang Ke?”
“Second Brother, that Wang Ke was the former president of the student council at our school. Now, he’s throwing his weight around because of his family’s power, doing well and making a name for himself in Zhongdu!” Qiao Le explained.
Xue An nodded and smiled slightly, “No wonder the name sounded familiar. Let’s go!”
Xue An stood up.
“Where to?”
“Of course… going home!” Xue An said indifferently.
