The originally relaxed atmosphere on the dining table suddenly became a little strange and solidified.
The fans in the live stream were still spamming the bullet screen to ask about the girl. However, some of the more observant fans noticed the strange expressions on the camera and consciously stopped spamming the bullet screen.
The number of messages on the screen decreased slightly.
At that moment, Su Xue quickly adjusted her mental state. She flashed a nonchalant smile and waved her hand.
"Hey, that's enough. Don't be so nosy!
I'll tell you if there's anything I want to tell you. "
"Let's not talk about that for now. The hotpot is here. Come on, let's eat the hotpot first. Bean, you recommended this place. If the taste isn't good, you'll have to take responsibility!"
Dou Zi didn't expect the topic to suddenly change to her. She was stunned for a moment, but she immediately reacted. She quickly patted her chest loudly and laughed.
"Don't worry, don't worry!
I've been to this place many times. It's not expensive, but it's definitely affordable. If you don't like it, I'll livestream myself! "
In order to cooperate with the change of topic, Dou Zi also made all kinds of promises. She was so bold that she was unafraid of death.
The viewers in the stream slowly came to their senses. They guessed that their messages had touched on something they shouldn't talk about, so they immediately joined in with the new topic.
"Bean, you're awesome! You even dare to say something like that?"
"How domineering!"
"Come on, Maple Maple, Snow, Tang Tang, you guys have a few bites. Let's wait for Bean to livestream himself!"
The atmosphere became lively once again.
Dou Zi enthusiastically helped them put the lamb, beef, and vegetables into the hotpot. She also took out a bottle of Big Snow Sprite and filled the glasses in front of Lin Feng, Su Xue, and Tang Bingyao. "Come on, have a drink!"
The bullet screen in the live streaming channel was in an uproar again.
"Just drinks?"
"No beer. How boring!"
"Bean, you should drink two bottles of beer first!"
Amidst the chaotic atmosphere, it was as if the strange scene from a moment ago had been washed away. Even Lin Feng's expression returned to normal. He smiled and clinked glasses with Dou Zi. Su Xue finally heaved a sigh of relief.
As for Tang Bingyao …
The girl held a glass of Sprite in her hand and sipped on it. However, her eyes could not help but secretly look at someone beside her. A trace of worry and sadness flashed in her eyes.
…
The hotpot restaurant recommended by Dou Zi was indeed delicious.
After eating hotpot, the few of them enjoyed their meal and kept praising it. The fans and viewers watching the live stream could not help but drool. They even spammed the bullet screen with screams like "This is insane", "What's the difference between eating hotpot on a live stream and taking revenge on society", "I'm so hungry, I want to eat too".
It was almost eight o 'clock in the evening. After dinner, Dou Zi rushed to pay the bill. The four of them walked out of the hot pot restaurant. The slight chill of early autumn accompanied by the night breeze seemed to dissipate a lot of the tiredness after eating hot pot. They only felt comfortable and refreshed.
Standing at the entrance of the hotpot restaurant, Su Xue, who had eaten and drunk to her heart's content, stretched comfortably and sighed with satisfaction.
"Ahhh —"
"This is what it means to live."
"Alright, let's call it a night then!"
Su Xue suddenly turned to Lin Feng and smiled. "Lin Feng, you and Dou Zi can go back to school. You don't need to send us off. I'll go home with Tang Tang."
Lin Feng was taken aback, but he didn't ask any questions. He nodded.
"Oh, okay."
Dou Zi still wanted to say something. "It's fine. We're not in a hurry. The dorms don't close that early. How about I take you guys to get a cab first?"
But before she could finish, Su Xue glared at her.
"What? We're just two girls having a little chat. You want to get in on it?"
"You're up to no good, huh?"
Dou Zi awkwardly waved her hands. "Ah, no, no. Alright, we'll be going then. Xue Xue, you and Tang Tang take care of yourselves —"
After Lin Feng and Dou Zi's silhouettes disappeared into the distance, Su Xue turned to Tang Bingyao and smiled.
"Alright, Tang Tang, let's head to the intersection.
It's easier to get a cab there. I just finished eating. Let's take a walk and digest the food. "
Tang Bingyao nodded obediently. "Okay."
The intersection wasn't far from the hotpot restaurant. It only took about five minutes for Su Xue and Tang Bingyao to walk side by side. Even though it was late at night, they still attracted the attention of passersby and students.
But the two didn't seem to care. They kept their heads down and didn't say a word.
Su Xue came to the intersection and stood under a street lamp. She raised her head and covered her forehead with her hand. She squinted her eyes and looked at the clear night sky. Finally, she opened her mouth.
"Tonight …"
"It was so close when we were eating hotpot."
Tang Bingyao was stunned for a moment. Then, she suddenly came to her senses. A complicated look flashed in her eyes. She slowly nodded. "Mhm."
Su Xue sighed.
"Those guys in the stream … They still don't know the truth even after a few months."
"Then all of a sudden, the chat was flooded with comments. I didn't even know how to wrap it up."
Tang Bingyao looked down at the road. She pursed her lips and didn't reply.
Su Xue also looked up at the night sky. She didn't look at Tang Bingyao.
"But … there's nothing we can do."
"We can't blame them or anything. After all, even I don't know how to explain it to them."
"But Tang Tang, you probably know, right?"
Su Xue's last sentence seemed to have hit the nail on the head, causing Tang Bingyao to abruptly raise her head to look at Su Xue in shock. At that moment, Su Xue retracted her gaze from the night sky and turned to look at Tang Bingyao. Her expression was earnest and sincere.
"So, can you tell me?"
"It's about Steamed Bun."
"Back then … four months ago …"
"What exactly happened?"
Tang Bingyao didn't expect to be asked such a question so bluntly. Her expression changed to one of struggle and hesitation. She pursed her lips as she fought a fierce battle in her heart.
In the end, as if she had made up her mind, she looked at Su Xue and whispered.
"Then …"
"Sis Xue, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone about this."
Su Xue's expression also became solemn. She nodded vigorously.
"Don't worry."
"I promise."
Tang Bingyao took a deep breath and organized the thoughts in her mind. Finally, she slowly told Su Xue the truth of the matter.
A few minutes later, Su Xue, who had a face full of shock and disbelief, sucked in a few breaths of cold air before she managed to suppress her shock. However, when she recalled what she heard a few minutes ago, the truth still made her eyelids twitch non-stop.
"I-it's actually like this?!"
"I see … I see …"
Su Xue suddenly snapped out of her daze and seemed to have thought of something. Her pupils narrowed slightly, and she looked up at Tang Bingyao.
"Lin Feng doesn't know about 'that matter' yet, right?"
Tang Bingyao immediately shook her head.
"Yeah, he doesn't know."
Su Xue sighed in relief, but then she still had an incredibly complicated and worried expression on her face.
"That's good … If he finds out about that …"
"That brat …"
"He'll definitely go crazy!"
