The summer night in the capital is a paradise for late-night snack stalls. The temperature during the night is low. When the night lights are lit, the cool evening breeze is slowly blowing. It is a good time to meet up with three or two friends, open a bunch of cold beer, serve a plate of peanuts, and take out a simple stove and a few bamboo sticks. The barbecue heat filled the whole street and the smell could represent the scent of mortal life on earth.

At this time, Tang Qiaoqiao and Shen Yue were standing at the entrance of the street food market, looking at a hot business barbecue stall not far in front of them.

Shen Yue finally knew why Tang Qiaoqiao had prepared a cap and a mask early.

When he imagined a "five-stars" barbecue restaurant, it must be at least the kind with a private room—a place with an elegant and secluded view of the small bridge and flowing water, where people could watch rare fishes wandering beside the glass.

Shen Yue expressionlessly said, "Can you explain to me, how is this a five-star barbecue restaurant?"

Tang Qiaoqiao pointed forward. "Right, look at this shop name."

Shen Yue raised his eyes and saw the plaque impressively hanging on the stall: "Brother Wu Xing's Barbecue."

This "Wu Xing" means "five stars," but it is not the other "five stars" that Shen Yue is used to. Shen Yue's face is full of black lines.

The barbecue stalls are full of noise. There are brawny men who are shirtless, drinking beer and punching each other. Some drunk salary men also scold their bosses while taking some lamb skewers to their mouth.

Shen Yue's mood is very complicated.

He has never eaten in a roadside stall before. This place and his entire life are completely two different worlds.

However, Tang Qiaoqiao's eyes were shining brightly, as if she couldn't wait to rush over immediately.

Shen Yue changed his mind when he thought, 'Isn't this a standard plot in idol dramas?'

Generally, when the female lead brings a wealthy male lead to such a small place to eat, it is usually a sign that their relationship has made significant progress.

He knew that she still had some thoughts about him.

When Shen Yue thought of this, the corners of his mouth subconsciously rose slightly. Because Tang Qiaoqiao "effort," he would try it.

Tang Qiaoqiao put her hair in the cap and put on a mask. Anyway, she is now a star with millions of fans, so she should keep a low profile.

She and Shen Yue avoided the crowds and deliberately chose a seat in the corner.

Shen Yue still felt uncomfortable sitting in the corner, especially after seeing a suspicious layer of grease on the white plastic dining table in front of him. He couldn't help but slide his wheelchair back. If he knew they would go to such a place, he would not wear a suit.

Seeing this, Tang Qiaoqiao reluctantly pulled a few tissues and wiped the desk for him.

"Don't pay attention to these details. Many delicacies are hidden in this kind of restaurant. You can't eat it in those big restaurants."

Shen Yue glanced at her and didn't answer.

Tang Qiaoqiao called the boss, who is a thin middle-aged man.

"What do you want to eat? The specialty of our shop is charcoal-grilled beef tongue and grilled pork tendon—limited supply. There is not much left. If you want to eat it, hurry up."
