"No way, that thief is indeed impressive. But no matter how capable, it's none of our business. Lin Tian, what do you say we go out for dinner tonight? I heard there's a new barbecue place that opened up near the campus. Shall we try it out?"
Guo Rong, the foodie, started talking about food again as he spoke.
But then again, it had been a while since the four roommates had gathered together.
"Sure, but it's boring to go with just the two of us. What about the other two?"
"Don't get started, the boss is only concerned with his own love life, and it seems like Lin Tao is about to be off the market too. That just leaves ."
"Don't be so pessimistic, man. You've still got . Alright, let's go for a feast, my treat."
Seeing Guo Rong looking genuinely lonely, Lin Tian decided to be generous.
"You're the best."
The mont Guo Rong heard about the big al, his foodie nature was completely exposed.
Most of the consurs at the shops around Wu'an University were students from the university. With the recent opening of a new barbecue restaurant, it was clear that they were targeting the easy money from the students.
Lin Tian was paying, so of course, Guo Rong wasn't going to be polite. He ordered all the at dishes like skewered R, kidney, and J leg.
"Guo Rong, if you want to get a girlfriend soon, I suggest you eat less."
"Lin Tian, are you worried about your money?"
"I'm really looking out for your best interest."
"For , Guo Rong, I'd rather give up on girls than on good food."
Guo Rong's eyes shone as he stared at the skewered R at the barbecue stand, his saliva uncontrollable.
Against such a foodie, Lin Tian was powerless.
"Lin Tian, can we sit here?"
A sweet and crisp voice rang out. Lin Tian looked up and saw two lovely girls.
The Shen sisters, Shen ngyi and Shen Yiran. The one who spoke was Shen Yiran, while Shen ngyi stood behind with a restrained manner, her gaze at Lin Tian sowhat chilly.
Shen ngyi's impression of Lin Tian used to be quite good, but after knowing about Lin Tian's relationship with Bu ngting, Shen ngyi began to keep her distance subtly.
"Sit down, please do! Wow, I never thought I'd get to dine with the campus belle one day."
Before Lin Tian could say a word, the chubby Guo Rong took it upon himself to reply. He had just claid he didn't need girls as long as he had food. Now, before he even started eating, his attitude changed completely upon seeing the girls.
"Sis, you sit over here! Lin Tian, aren't you trying to chase my sister? Here's your chance, this al's on you!"
Shen Yiran was still as straightforward as before.
"Yiran, stop talking nonsense. Lin Tian has a girlfriend."
Shen ngyi couldn't bear to watch anymore. She indeed had feelings for Lin Tian, but ever since she learned that Lin Tian had a girlfriend, she had been trying to maintain a distance from him.
"So what if he has a girlfriend? Is she as pretty as my sister? Even if she is, does she have an attractive sister like ? If Lin Tian really beca my brother-in-law, he'd have a pretty little aunt like , and he'd definitely choose my sister as long as he's not a fool."
Shen Yiran, the girl, was as daring as ever in her speech. And when she brought up the topic of a 'little aunt,' she shot Lin Tian a flirtatious wink, full of teasing.
Just as Guo Rong was greedily grabbing a skewered R, he suddenly chid in.
"Shen beauty, what you don't know is that Bu ngting also has a sister, Li Xiaong. She's still young, but she's a real gem of a lolita. Give her a few years, and she'll be another curvaceous little aunt."
Guo Rong wasn't just talking nonsense; Bu ngting did have a sister, Li Xiaong.
Though Li Xiaong was young, she was indeed a beauty in the making, and quite the quirky character, having fooled Guo Rong once before.
"Really? Sister, looks like you've got so serious competition. Why don't we join forces to snag Lin Tian?"
Hearing Shen Yiran's words, Lin Tian and Shen ngyi both went dark in the face.
Lin Tian turned a cold face towards Guo Rong and shouted.
"I think you're in need of a lesson, aren't you?"
"No, absolutely not, I misspoke. I'll continue with my skewered R, you guys chat, you chat!"
In need of a lesson, that's Li Xiaong's catchphrase. The thought of the Witch's prowess made Guo Rong instantly behave.
"Lin Tian, tell the truth, are you going to chase after my sister or not?"
Shen Yiran was not easily dismissed and kept pressing the question. Shen ngyi, for so reason, did not stop her this ti. Perhaps she wanted to know Lin Tian's thoughts as well.
"Cough cough, now's not the ti to discuss this. I've got sothing important to tell you guys."
On this matter, Lin Tian naturally couldn't give Shen Yiran an answer.
Another one at this point would surely send Lin Tian into a panic.
"What's so important?" Shen Yiran wasn't ready to let Lin Tian go, but Shen ngyi imdiately took over the conversation, helping Lin Tian out of a tight spot.
"Have you guys been following the news lately? The theft situation in WA city is out of control!"
Lin Tian brought up what Guo Rong had told him, not just as a distraction.
"Yeah, we saw that, but I heard all those thieves were caught by the police, right? There seed to be quite a few of them; it was like a whole gang."
Shen Yiran actually did watch the news.
"Then you definitely don't know, after the burglar gang was caught, another audacious thief popped up."
As soon as Guo Rong heard this topic again, he imdiately swallowed the roasted R he was eating and joined in.
"Audacious? What do you an by audacious?"
Both Shen Yiran and Shen ngyi were curious about what Guo Rong said.
"This thief not only stole people's things but also left a note, calling himself the 'Thief God.' You tell , isn't that bold? Isn't it an outright challenge to the police?"
"My god, has the thief lost his mind? Is he courting death?"
Shen Yiran exclaid, clearly surprised by the thief's brazen behavior.
"I don't think it's courting death, but rather he has extre confidence in himself. That thief hasn't been caught yet, has he?"
Shen ngyi was much more composed and sharp-witted compared to Shen Yiran.
"Shen, the beautiful, is insightful, indeed the thief has not been caught yet. Moreover, I heard that the police have suffered several losses at the hands of this 'Thief God.'"
Guo Rong's spit flew as he spoke excitedly, thrilled by the rapt attention of the two beauties.
"You've heard it, this thief is so formidable and rampant. You two beauties must be extra careful in the future?"
Lin Tian took the opportunity to remind the two beauties to be vigilant.
However, Shen Yiran clearly didn't appreciate it.
"Why should we be careful? He's just a thief, at most he'll steal money, steal phones. I never carry much money anyway, why should I be careful?"
"Yiran, what kind of way is that to talk?"
Before Lin Tian could speak, Shen ngyi reproached her first.
"Lin Tian is reminding us to be careful. With a thief so daring and rampant, who knows what he will steal next. If we encounter him, he might even rob us of our dignity!"
"Rob us of our dignity? Ah, what should we do then? Right, Lin Tian, aren't you very capable? You have to protect and my sister!"
Shen Yiran didn't seem to know if she was truly afraid or just pretending as she imdiately clung to Lin Tian's arm.
The distinct fragrance unique to a young girl and the soft sensation on his arm made Lin Tian also pause for a mont.
"Don't worry, with here, no one can harm you."
Lin Tian patted Shen Yiran's shoulder, readily promising to take care of them both.
"Hmph, who needs your protection. I don't think the thief will be arrogant for long. The police will definitely catch him soon."
Shen ngyi didn't seem grateful; mostly she felt so resentnt towards Lin Tian for flirting despite having a girlfriend.
"The police are the least reliable, I still think Lin Tian is reliable. Right, Lin Tian, I don't have your phone number. Give it to quickly. If I ever encounter danger, I must call you, and you have to co protect as fast as you can."
Shen Yiran directly asked for Lin Tian's phone number.
Guo Rong, of course, was just enjoying his food, wanting to chat with Shen, the beautiful, but her cold aura made him lose his confidence.
"It's no fun just eating without drinking sothing, right?"
Having almost finished eating, Shen Yiran, who seed cheerful, suggested drinking.
Guo Rong didn't mind, Shen ngyi's complexion didn't change, and though she didn't speak out against it, Guo Rong called the waiter over and ordered a case of beer.
Originally, Shen ngyi wanted to use glasses, but Shen Yiran bit the cap off and started drinking from the bottle, her manner rough and unrefined.
Lin Tian had never seen Shen Yiran so unrestrained, but now, with the mood lifted by Shen Yiran, everyone took a bottle and drank straight from it.
Drinking alcohol can be greatly influenced by mood.
Bad moods and low spirits can lead to overdrinking, and good moods can lead to the sa.
After the four of them drank together, Guo Rong was the first to fall.
The second to go down was Shen Yiran, who talked tough and drank fiercely, but unfortunately, her tolerance was lacking, and she lay her head on the table after three bottles.
In contrast, Shen ngyi's cheeks were flushed, but her eyes remained clear and bright, her capacity for alcohol surprisingly strong.
"I didn't expect you to have such a good tolerance!"
"There's a lot you don't expect about ! By the way, how far have you and Bu ngting gone?"
Shen ngyi, emboldened by the alcohol, asked a question that had been on her mind the most.
To say she felt nothing for Lin Tian would definitely be self-deception. Lin Tian's various tasks had involved her, naturally leaving a profound impression on Shen ngyi.
Still, Shen ngyi wasn't a silly admirer; knowing Lin Tian had a girlfriend, she had always deliberately kept her distance.
Today, if it weren't for the alcohol, she definitely would not have asked Lin Tian.
"What do you think our progress is?"
For so reason, Lin Tian didn't want to tell the truth. Perhaps it was a common ailnt among n—unwilling to admit their relationship with another woman in front of a beauty.
