Chapter 2008: Chapter 2003: The Atmosphere Feels Off
Hu Xiaobei heard this, his mouth twitched, and he quickly started picking up food...
Han Xueyao also silently lowered her head and started eating the chicken leg picked up by Hu Xiaobei...
Seeing this scene, Guo Meiyu smiled knowingly, and soon, she turned her head to Feng Junjun and Mengmeng, saying softly: "Don’t just stand there, eat whatever you like!"
"Okay!"
They smiled sweetly and quickly picked up their chopsticks...
They figured out that Hu Xiaobei, Guo Meiyu, and Han Xueyao were the type of friends who bickered but cared deeply for each other.
Although they were always arguing, they were particularly concerned about each other.
This made them feel good.
So, they gradually relaxed...
...
"Oh, I seem to have come at a bad time now!"
Hearing this slightly hesitant voice, they turned their heads and saw a tall, beautiful woman wearing sunglasses standing at the door.
"It’s her!"
After turning around, Mengmeng and Feng Junjun recognized her because they had seen this hot and fashionable woman before.
Hu Xiaobei also recognized her.
He didn’t even need to look; just by hearing the voice, Hu Xiaobei knew who had come...
But Guo Meiyu and Han Xueyao didn’t know her, so a hint of curiosity flashed in their eyes.
"Xiaobei, is she here for you?"
"Yes."
They looked at Hu Xiaobei, speaking with a hint of jealousy.
They knew they were probably right.
Only this little bastard would keep attracting such alluring beauties.
"Yes!"
After admitting it, Hu Xiaobei quickly introduced her.
After knowing she was the person planning to open a shop, their expressions relaxed a bit.
Soon, they stood up, like hostesses, "Xueyan, right? I’m Guo Meiyu, and this is my sister Han Xueyao. Welcome to open your shop in our Xiaohe Village."
Feng Xueyan smiled gently, "No need to be so polite! Since you’re having a meal, I’ll wait in the car first."
"No, have some with us."
"Yeah, since you’re here, why not have some food together? Anyway, we’ll be working together in the future, so it’s good to get to know each other better."
"Alright, I happen to be a bit hungry too!"
Responding like this, Feng Xueyan walked over elegantly.
"Smells nice!"
As she approached, Hu Xiaobei caught a whiff of a delicate fragrance...
Hu Xiaobei knew they probably smelled it too, but none of them said anything, so he couldn’t say anything either.
Even though Hu Xiaobei was a bit thick-skinned, he could still tell that the atmosphere was slightly off now.
"Maybe I should make myself scarce now!"
Muttering this, Hu Xiaobei picked up two pieces of chicken and said, "I’ll go check on the Medicinal Garden. You all eat slowly!"
Saying this, Hu Xiaobei was about to leave...
Just as he stood up, Hu Xiaobei heard someone call him.
"Master Xiaobei, I still need to discuss cooperation matters with you. How can you leave like this?"
"Right, she’s here because of you, so you can’t leave now!"
"Yes, the guests haven’t left yet; it’s not right for you, as the host, to leave."
"Well... alright then!"
While saying this, Hu Xiaobei reluctantly sat back down...
After sitting down, Hu Xiaobei looked at Mengmeng and Feng Junjun, ready to ask for their help. But they were focused on eating seriously.
More than that, they kept passing food to each other.
"These... these traitorous wolves!"
Hu Xiaobei muttered in frustration...
They knew Hu Xiaobei wanted their help, but they didn’t know how to help, so they pretended not to see...
...
"Xueyan, right? Since you’re here, make yourself at home and have some food!"
"Exactly!"
Guo Meiyu and Han Xueyao didn’t look at Hu Xiaobei again but started serving food to Feng Xueyan...
They made it clear that they were the hosts here...
Feng Xueyan smiled lightly and said, "Oh, I’m not going to be shy with you! Although I haven’t known Master Bei for long, I think he’s a good person. I might come here often in the future."
Saying this, she calmly accepted the food they served her.
Hu Xiaobei’s eye twitched at this moment...
"Damn, not a single one of them is easy to deal with!"
Hu Xiaobei felt genuinely frustrated...
He started regretting inviting Feng Xueyan here.
While feeling this frustration, Hu Xiaobei suddenly gasped.
This was because he felt a small hand on his waist, pinching him hard.
Feeling a bit annoyed, he glanced sideways and found that the one pinching him was none other than Guo Meiyu...
"Collateral damage from a clash at the city’s gate, affecting the fish in the moat!"
This idiom was all too fitting for Hu Xiaobei at the moment.
...
"Xiaobei is really not bad! By the way, Xueyan, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Not yet!"
When this answer came from Feng Xueyan’s mouth, Hu Xiaobei felt the hand on his waist grip tighter.
He smiled helplessly and buried himself in his meal.
After that, Hu Xiaobei hadn’t had a chance to speak, but they kept chatting nonstop.
Feng Xueyan was also full of praise for the dishes...
...
"Finally done eating!"
Half an hour later, Hu Xiaobei watched everyone leave to drink tea on the side and let out a long sigh of relief.
Hu Xiaobei realized that dining with them was incredibly terrifying...
As for what the food on the table tasted like, Hu Xiaobei couldn’t remember, because earlier, it all tasted like chewing wax...
As he stood up, Hu Xiaobei couldn’t help but rub his waist.
If it had been anyone else and not Hu Xiaobei, their waist would definitely be swollen by now!
"Truly frightening!"
Silently muttering, Hu Xiaobei saw the mischievous Mengmeng and Feng Junjun coming over.
"Brother Xiaobei, it wasn’t that we didn’t want to help you earlier, we just didn’t know how!"
"That’s right!"
Hearing their excuse, Hu Xiaobei was about to say something, "I..."
But just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted...
"Alright, Brother Xiaobei, let’s not talk about it for now. We’re going out for a stroll!"
"Exactly!"
"You two are really good at finding excuses!"
Hu Xiaobei helplessly rubbed his nose.
Soon, Hu Xiaobei could only watch them leave.
After they left, Hu Xiaobei looked into the distance and saw Guo Meiyu, Han Xueyao, and Feng Xueyan drinking tea and chatting.
"If you didn’t know better, you’d think they were best friends!"
Muttering this silently, Hu Xiaobei quickly walked over...
To be honest, Hu Xiaobei didn’t want to approach them right now, but he had no choice because he really needed to discuss some business with Feng Xueyan.
As he got closer, he heard what they were talking about...
"My skin is much worse than yours. Your skin is so much better. Anyone who doesn’t know might think you’re my older sisters!"
"No way!"
"Yes, we’re much older!"
"Women are indeed always beauty-loving!"
Muttering lightly, Hu Xiaobei cleared his throat...
