Chapter 5: 5

Dining!

She walked over with her roommate quickly, and then whispered, "Chen Yan, why didn’t you reply to my WeChat?.”

 "I wanted to tell you that I already had dinner."

The roommate glanced at Yu Qiaoqiao and then at Chen Yan, a slight smile appeared.

Chen Yan looked at Yu Qiaoqiao and had a basic understanding of the girl's character in his heart.

 However, next, he needed to figure out the game’s limit and definition of "feeding".

 So he replied indifferently, "I’ll reply later.”

 "Come on, sit down and eat something."

"I have ordered a lot!.”

Seeing Chen Yan's familiar appearance, Yu Qiaoqiao didn't know for a moment whether she should sit down or leave.

At this time, Chen Yan also saw the girl next to Yu Qiaoqiao.

He greeted her warmly, "You should be Qiaoqiao's best friend, come, let's eat together. I really did order a lot."

Maybe in order to cooperate with Chen Yan, or it may be a coincidence, the elder brother of the barbecue shop just came out with a few plates full of barbecue, and then put it on Chen Yan's table.

While placing the plate on the table, the elder brother smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, why did you order so much, can you really finish it?.”

Chen Yan grinned in response, "It’s for the three of us.”

The elder brother smiled, then nodded at the two girls and went back inside the shop.

Seeing that Chen Yan really ordered a lot of food, Yu Qiaoqiao hesitated for a bit before looking at her roommate and ultimately sitting down to eat.

She took a small bite of the barbecue.

The aroma of freshly roasted meat is reminiscent of charcoal fire and is aromatic. It was a pleasure to bite into the fatty and thin pieces of pork that had been sliced.

From childhood to adulthood, Yu Qiaoqiao grew up in an orphanage without much contact with outside food.

Even if she went to university, she would have to work hard in order to gain scholarships and work-study money to cover living expenses, leaving her with little time to consume food from roadside stalls or other street vendors.

After eating, she immediately felt that barbecue is the best delicacy in the world, a hundred times better than instant noodles!

This made her want to eat a few more skewers.

Chen Yan noticed that she enjoyed chewing on the beef strip and put a plate beside her and said, "Try this, it's spicy and more delicious than the previous one."

Yu Qiaoqiao curiously picked up the spicy barbecue strip and put it in her mouth.

Just after taking a bite, her nose and tears flowed due to the spicy smell.

"Shui Shui Shui!", Yu Qiaoqiao flushed hotly and called out anxiously.

 Chen Yan childishly laughed, then handed over a bottle of water, twisted it to her, and said, "Eat slowly. Don't eat so much at one bite."

Yu Qiaoqiao took the water and drank several mouthfuls before finally dispelling the spiciness that covered her mouth.

But with her hot pink face, red eyes, and little pink tongue sticking out of her mouth, she looked extremely adorable.

 It is a pity that Chen Yan's eyes weren’t on her at all. He was currently drinking with Yu Qiaoqiao's roommate happily.

Yu Qiaoqiao’s roommate is a wonderful person. After sitting down, she didn't treat herself as an outsider and proceeded to eat a few skewers of barbecue while also picking up Chen Yan's bottle of wine and pouring herself a glass of wine, which she then shared with Chen Yan with confidence.

After eating, Chen Yan ignored Yu Qiaoqiao’s request to also pay and naturally got up and went to checkout.

The food wasn’t surprisingly expensive, just came to a total of 269 yuan. ($42)

Chen Yan secretly took out his mobile phone, checked the game, and saw that he managed to successfully increase his wealth points.

Finally, his experiment had come to success!

It seemed that asking Yu Qiaoqiao to have dinner with her and her best friend is indeed within the scope allowed by the rules.

Looks like the rules allow it, so Chen Yan was very satisfied.

The first trial of the money-swiping plan succeeded!

Dream Chasing Project, a solid first step!

After the checkout, Chen Yan packed the rest of the barbecue, handed it to Yu Qiaoqiao and her roommate, and then said, "Okay, the meal is over, you can go back, and I will go back too."

Finishing his sentence, he went straight back to his house, surprising the two girls.

The two girls were left carrying two bags of barbecue, with confused expressions on their faces on the side of the road.

This...

Do we leave now?

Don’t you want some barbecue for later?

　　...

On the way back to the dormitory, the roommate kindly asked Yu Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, does that person like you and is pursuing you?.”

Yu Qiaoqiao is not a little girl anymore, but she still isn’t familiar with things such as "like" and "pursuit".

So, she thought for a while, and said weakly, "It should be...no."

The roommate replied, "If not, why does he invite you to dinner at night? And after eating, he pays and lets you pack it?.”

Yu Qiaoqiao opened her mouth slightly, not knowing how to refute it.

 In the end, it was her roommate who took the initiative to express her own thoughts, "That's not right. If you like someone, wouldn't you want to talk to them even more?.”

"Also, he suddenly left and didn’t accompany us back to the dormitory at night!.”

"This is...he isn’t a gentleman at all!"

"It doesn't seem to be like he’s pursuing you at all."

Yu Qiaoqiao didn't understand anything, so she could only listen quietly.

The roommate thought about it all the way, and finally as if thinking of something, she said, "Don’t you think, he just simply wants you to have a meal?"

Yu Qiaoqiao was silent for a while, recalled the whole process of meeting Chen Yan tonight, and nodded hesitantly, "It seems... yeah?"

She was a little confused.

Why do you invite someone to dinner?

Is he simply trying to feel good about himself?

What a weird person...

Obviously, only meeting twice, Chen Yan left a vague and simple impression on Yu Qiaoqiao’s small heart...

　　...

Chen Yan, who returned home at this time, silently opened his "Game Strategy Book" and wrote a preliminary comment on Yu Qiaoqiao:

‘She is very simple, not strong, and easily influenced by others also very kind.’

After writing this comment, Chen Yan put the pen under his chin, thought for a while, and then wrote the next small goal: 

‘Tomorrow, try to get a deeper understanding of her character and say that he is pursuing her and see her reaction.’

After writing, Chen Yan looked at the contents of the paper and couldn't help but laugh out: 

Surely if I was in school, many girls would be swarming all around me!

Hah, it was only thanks to my whole life of playing games!

Putting the paper away in his drawer, Chen Yan tidied up and went to bed with a longing for the future.

..........

[Yu Qiaoqiao’s favorability degree: 4] (feeding food +1)

[Player wealth: 269] (feeding food +269)

...

Early the next morning. 

As soon as Yu Qiaoqiao got up to wash her face, she received a call from Chen Yan.

Connecting to the call…

Chen Yan's voice came over the phone, "Qiaoqiao. Come to the convenience store, and let me invite you to breakfast?.”

Yu Qiaoqiao: “....”

Why is there an inexplicable feeling of being fed!

Yu Qiaoqiao replied, "No, I can’t go. I have class later."

Originally, Yu Qiaoqiao thought that Chen Yan would use that "dominant" side of him again.

But what was strange is that Chen Yan simply said "Yeah, okay. Then you remember to eat today."

After exchanging goodbyes, she hung up the phone.

Yu Qiaoqiao continued to pour water over her hair while pondering on something.

At noon, classes have finished.

Just coming out of the classroom, Yu Qiaoqiao received a call from Chen Yan again.

"Hey, Qiaoqiao. Come over for lunch."

 Yu Qiaoqiao: “....”

“I’m eating with my roommate."

 Chen Yan responded, "Okay then, hope you find your food delicious.”

"Beep...beep...beep..."

At night, after finishing work, Yu Qiaoqiao grabbed the two hot meat buns bought from the side of the road firmly and ate happily while walking back to the dormitory.

Chen Yan’s call came once more, “Hey, Qiaoqiao, shall we have dinner?"

Yu Qiaoqiao replied weakly and tired, "Chen Yan, does your house run a restaurant? Why do you want to invite me to dinner three times a day?"

Chen Yan responded, "Oh...I don't have to invite you to dinner. Just tell me what you like to do and I’ll come over to hang out.”

 Yu Qiaoqiao was startled.

There was a thoughtful look on her face.

Soon, she asked quietly but seriously, "Chen Yan, can you tell me what you want?.”
