"No way, that young lady looks so delicate and pretty, she'd be a perfect match for Brother Yun. Aren't you overthinking this?" someone beside him couldn't help but interject.
"What do you know? To put it bluntly, we're all from the bottom of society. Look at that girl; I heard her family is very wealthy. If Yun Bujiu truly develops feelings for her and wants to be with her, wouldn't he have to find a way to become rich, gain status, and acquire position? But we're just common folk; it's too difficult to rise above the masses! Unless we do something illegal! That's how money comes fast!" Zhao Mai deliberately tried to scare a few people.
After hearing this, the faces of the few boys turned grim. Even though they knew Zhao Mai was saying it intentionally, it seemed to be the truth.
In this society now, it's hard to even marry a wife without money, let alone a young lady like that.
Without money, a house, or a car, one is destined to be single. No woman is foolish these days.
Just like them, they can't even find a proper girlfriend, simply because they are poor and just drifting through life.
Yun Bujiu hadn't expected to run into his brothers, but he didn't particularly care. Their relationships were very close. As the food was being served one after another, Mian Mian was about to go get disposable chopsticks when Yun Bujiu stopped her. He took a small box from his pocket, containing a brand new set of chopsticks, a spoon, and a fork.
"These aren't clean. Use this; I've washed and disinfected them," Yun Bujiu handed her the chopsticks.
Mian Mian looked at him with a bit of surprise and said, "Why do you carry this with you? Did you bring it specifically for me?"
"Mmm, your delicate body is precious; you're not used to these disposable chopsticks." Yun Bujiu then got a pair of disposable chopsticks for himself and broke them open, revealing some splinters.
He didn't mind at all and picked up a piece of meat, eating it.
Mian Mian held the exquisite silver chopsticks and also began to eat quietly. After a while, she tilted her head and looked at the boy beside her, asking, "Are you always this considerate to everyone?"
"What do you think?" Yun Bujiu glanced at her casually. Mian Mian immediately averted her gaze, her pretty face flushing uncontrollably.
Just as the two were eating, Yun Bujiu's group of brothers returned, accompanied by Zhao Mai. Zhao Mai's expression had changed; he was no longer unhappy as before, and a smile now adorned his face.
Yun Bujiu frowned, looking at the group and asking, "Why are you guys back?"
Mian Mian, while eating a skewer of meat, stared at the group with her round, innocent eyes, a bit of oil smudged on her lips. She didn't look messy at all, but rather incredibly cute.
"Brother Yun, it's been a long time since we brothers got together. How about we all go for barbecue tonight? What's so interesting about eating this?" the boy asked with a smile.
Yun Bujiu reached into his pocket again, pulled out a small pack of wet wipes, and leisurely took one out, handing it to Mian Mian. "Wipe your mouth."
Mian Mian obediently put down the skewer, took the tissue, and wiped her mouth. Seeing the oil on her lips, she felt a little embarrassed.
She looked so cute.
Several people's eyeballs nearly popped out. When did Brother Yun learn to carry disinfectant wet wipes? Aren't these something girls usually carry?
"Do you want to go?" Yun Bujiu asked the girl beside him, not agreeing to his brothers first.
Mian Mian asked curiously, "Is it tasty?"
"It's alright, but you can't eat too much; it's not very good for your health. Eating it once in a while is fine," Yun Bujiu explained.
