Ever since she had such an idea, You Xia's mind had been active. Occasionally, under the three-pronged attack of Ding Ji, Shikamaru, and Ino, he would quickly snatch a piece of delicious food from the barbecue rack to comfort his taste buds.
The fresh meat slices were roasted again and again until there was no more meat on the table. Only then did the few of them hold their stomachs and let out a sigh of relief.
Ding Ci touched his round belly that was already as small as a hill in an exaggerated manner and said with some reluctance,"Ah, I can play a few more games!”
The corner of You Xia's mouth twitched. She felt that her small wallet was already flat! As expected, he did not consider Ding Ci's situation at all just now. Was his combat strength so strong since he was young?
As the only girl who was meticulous, Ino elbowed Ding Ji and said unhappily,"Hey, Ding Ci, that's enough! You Xia treating us to barbecue is already not bad, do you still want to be picky?”
Looking at the angry Ino, Ding Ci laughed and said to You Xia,""You Xia, thank you for treating me to barbecue. As a reward, I'll treat you to potato chips next time!”
Potato chips? It's Ding Ci's favorite!
"Okay, then Ding Ci, treat me to the last potato chip!”You Xia smiled slyly and teased.
" Ah…" Ding Ci's chubby little face stiffened. He was conflicted. How could he bear to give the last potato chip to someone else?
This made You Xia, Ino, and Shikamaru burst into laughter. He rubbed his neck in confusion, as if he couldn't figure out what was going on.
After laughing, You Xia tilted her head and happened to see the warm orange lights on the street. Thinking that it was getting late, she stood up and said,"Wait a moment, I'll go settle the bill.”
The cashier was a kind uncle in a white apron. After checking the bill, he extended four fingers to You Xia and said,"It's a total of 45,000 taels. Little Youxia, just give me 40,000 taels!”
Great! This barbecue had cost four-fifths of the reward. You Xia took out the 50,000 taels from her wallet and handed it to the boss with a pained expression. She said sweetly,"Thank you, Uncle ~ I'll come to your house to eat barbecue next time!”
“hai! hai!”The boss happily took the money and put it in the counter. Then, he took out a 10,000 taels note from the counter and handed it to You Xia."Welcome next time!"
Behind an inconspicuous partition, a pair of blue eyes were staring at You Xia and the boss. After You Xia put away her wallet, she turned around and left.
After paying, You Xia went back to her seat to look for Shikamaru and the other two. She found that the three of them were ready to leave and were waiting for You Xia to return after paying. "Let's go," said You Xia as she walked over."Let's send the lovely Miss Ino home first!"”
Under the lights, there were many men who came out to have fun at night holding wine bottles and exaggeratedly bragging. The stars hung on the dark blue curtain of the night sky, looking so beautiful.
You Xia crossed her arms behind her head and chatted casually with Shikamaru, Ino, and Ding Ci. The Yamanaka family was also at the east end of the village, so it was very convenient. The few of them walked and chatted, and it took about half an hour to send Ino to his door.
Ino Yamanaka took a big step forward and turned around. He stuck out his tongue at You Xia and the other two and said mischievously,""It's fine to send it here. We're already at the door.”
"Rest early!" You Xia put down her hand and smiled at Ino.
“hai! Thank you for your hospitality today!" Ino bowed to You Xia, stood up and said happily.
"Ah, I have to thank You Xia!" Ding Ci patted his forehead and said.
"Natsuya, thank you ~" Shikamaru thanked Natsuya.
You Xia immediately waved her hand and said seriously,"Aiya, we're friends! Mama, why do you care about this? Alright, the three of us are going home too. See you, Ino.”
The three of them turned to leave after bidding farewell to Ino. Ino saw that You Xia and the others were about to enter the darkness. He suddenly remembered something and shouted,""You Xia, wait a moment!"
The voice behind him was full of vigor. Stopping, You Xia turned around and looked at Ino, who was standing under the street lamp. She asked curiously,""What's wrong?"
"Come here, I have something to tell you!”Ino raised his chin and ordered.
You Xia shrugged helplessly at Shikamaru and Ding Ci. She quickly walked to Ino's side and couldn't help but mock,""My young miss, is there anything else you need?”
"Humph!" Ino, who was addressed as Missy, raised his chin and blinked his blue eyes. He seemed to mention casually,""There's a school festival tomorrow at the Ninja School. The school is still recruiting staff today. You Xia, if you want to earn some extra money, you can go to Teacher Iruka's house and sign up!”
So she was worried that he would run out of money. You Xia was delighted. She looked at the delicate Ino and thanked him with a hint of ridicule,"Thank you, kind-hearted Oino-san. I hope I can find a job tomorrow. Otherwise, I can only freeload at your house ~"
"What a glib man! Little pauper, I really feel sorry for your stomach. If you can't get your next meal, don't eat instant noodles. Kasang likes you very much. You can go to my flower shop. Kasang could make delicious bento boxes, and they could eat together after school.”Ino used his index finger to poke You Xia's shoulder as he lectured her.
"I know, but I will have a job!”You Xia raised her hand and ruffled Ino's hair, messing up her soft yellow hair. Then, she turned around and ran away."Take it as your punishment for calling me a little pauper!”
"Ah, my hair! You Xia, just you wait!"
Ino's scream was still echoing behind them. You Xia, Shikamaru, and Ding Ci had a tacit understanding and quickly escaped, leaving behind Ino in a purple dress, who was going crazy at the door of his house.
The corner of You Xia's mouth curled up, and her gaze softened in the dark night. Ino was really a kind-hearted girl!
At the intersection in front of them, You Xia stopped to bid farewell to Shikamaru and Ding Ci because she was still thinking about her " great cause ". After Shikamaru and Ding Ci expressed their gratitude again, the three of them separated.
Walking alone in the bustling commercial street, You Xia walked in after seeing a suitable shop. She planned to use the remaining 10,000 taels to buy some gifts and use it to gather information!
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles! Since he had already decided to write novels, draw comics, make movies, and make games, the first thing he had to do was to understand the market before he could start preparing.
But for now, comics, movies, and games were too difficult, so You Xia decided to start writing novels.
