They are not human! (From chapter 61)

On the street, with people bustling around, Yi'ou's voice didn't lower a bit as he shamelessly spoke. Wen Qing seemed to sense the glances from passersby. After all, talking about bodies in public was quite suspicious. He strode forward a few more steps, waiting until the passersby changed before slowly asking Yi'ou, "Don't you have a car?"

Yi'ou, walking beside him, casually replied, "No." Wen Qing tilted his head to look at him, feeling a bit strange. Yi'ou had said he was now in a regular person's body, so why not buy a car? Wen Qing thought about the money in his bank account and Yi'ou's usual lavish spending, ruling out the possibility of him not having the money to buy a car.

Seemingly noticing his confusion, Yi'ou stopped walking, raised an eyebrow slightly, and explained, "To drive, you need a license." "Don't have one." Wen Qing blinked, even more puzzled, "Isn't getting a license quite simple?" "Simple, yes," Yi'ou paused, tilting his head to look at him, "But it takes a long time to learn." Learning to drive isn't hard, but with the interval between each exam, it takes a long time. Wen Qing uttered an "oh," "Aren't you quite free?"

Yi'ou raised an eyebrow, "Shall we sign up together then?" Wen Qing pressed his lips together. He hadn't thought of getting a driver's license before, one reason being the high registration fee, and the other being the high cost of a car, while public transportation was very convenient. Learning to drive with Yi'ou... it didn't seem like a bad idea. The thought flashed by, and the cool evening breeze carried a slight sense of agitation. Wen Qing didn't directly answer Yi'ou's question, slowly saying, "If you can't drive, you could hire a driver."

Yi'ou nonchalantly said, "I have only one purpose for buying and driving a car." Wen Qing thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Convenience?" Yi'ou chuckled softly, slowly spitting out two words, "To drive you." He lifted his eyelids and drawled, "So why would I spend money to hire a third wheel?"

Wen Qing's eyelashes fluttered, feeling as if the evening breeze had risen a few degrees, making his heart race. He hurriedly picked up his phone and glanced at it quickly. No messages. Wen Qing put away his phone, pretending to be calm, "Let's hurry, Song Qiang is urging us." Yi'ou looked at his reddening ear tips, picked up his phone, opened the dorm group chat, and casually asked, "Why didn't I see it?"

Wen Qing dryly replied, "You need to reflect on why he didn't message you." Yi'ou: "..."

By the time they reached the barbecue restaurant on Snack Street, it was already 8:30. Song Qiang and Xu Fengfeng were sitting inside, their eyes reddened from the aroma in the air. Seeing Wen Qing and Yi'ou enter, Song Qiang eagerly stood up, moving next to Xu Fengfeng, leaving two adjacent seats for them. "Boss, we're all here, you can start serving the dishes!" "Sure thing."

Wen Qing sat down, looking at the hungry duo, unable to help but say, "You guys could've started eating first." "No way," Song Qiang shook his head, taking a sip of his drink, "Good things are meant to be shared." "If we didn't wait for you, Fengfeng and I would've eaten after class." Saying that, Song Qiang looked at Wen Qing, then at Yi'ou, "How come you two came in together?" He had been thinking of using this meal to help them reconcile, but it seemed they were already on good terms?

Wen Qing took a sip of water, recalling that Xu Fengfeng and Song Qiang didn't know Yi'ou had picked him up from Nancheng Community. Just as he was wondering how to explain, Yi'ou said, "Because we came back together." Wen Qing: "..." That's stating the obvious.

Song Qiang wanted to ask more, but the waiter came with two plates of pork belly. His attention immediately shifted to the pork belly, his mind full of eating, forgetting about the question. "Let's grill, let's grill." Wen Qing poured a cup of water, sipping it slowly. The pork belly was thick and needed some time to cook thoroughly. While waiting, Song Qiang, eating some side dishes, handed the menu to Wen Qing, "See if there's anything else you want to order." "Fengfeng and I only ordered a few signature meats."
