C10 Her Taste Is a Little Weird!

Zhou Qianni gazed at her phone, her finger hovering over the block button, lost in thought. Ultimately, she refrained from pressing it. Liang Xiaoyan had just reaffirmed her autonomy, and considering Yang Yu had spent a considerable amount on her that afternoon, it seemed only fair to reciprocate in the evening. She resolved to have a talk with Yang Yu the next day.

She was determined to win Yang Yu back!

And she had to admit, he did look quite handsome when he was settling the bill earlier.

Yang Yu accepted the phone with a nod, coughing awkwardly to mask his discomfort.

Then, out of nowhere, the system's voice chimed in.

Zhou Qianni's favorability towards him increased by 50 points.

Perplexed by the alert, Yang Yu was full of questions. What was with her reaction? Her favorability went up after that phone call? Did she have peculiar tastes?

Or maybe she had a particular penchant for such situations?

"Come on, you must be starving," Liang Xiaoyan said, smoothly changing the subject. "There's a great barbecue spot just downstairs. I'll take you there."

Yang Yu readily agreed and rose to his feet. "Sounds good."

Priphia wasn't known for its landmarks; most mainland cities were much of a muchness in that regard. But Priphia did have one standout feature: no matter where you were, food was always a top priority. Plus, regardless of the season, Priphia was renowned nationwide for its vibrant nightlife.

While many cities quieted down after dark, with just a few night owls out for late-night snacks or drinks, Priphia came alive at night—when the day truly began!

Just a few steps from the building was a row of late-night eateries, each barbecue joint with a barker at the entrance, a pack of cigarettes in hand, ready to offer one to any passing guy to drum up business.

"That place is pretty good," Liang Xiaoyan said, pointing to a night snack bar named Five Rats BBQ, and started walking over.

Yang Yu hadn't frequented this spot much; a night out with friends could easily run into the hundreds, and even splitting the bill meant dropping seventy or eighty yuan. After a few such outings, he had cut back on these visits.

"Welcome, welcome! Just the two of you?" The greeter's eyes sparkled at the sight of Liang Xiaoyan, but he quickly turned his attention to Yang Yu, extending a cigarette his way.

Yang Yu readily accepted the cigarette and strolled in alongside Liang Xiaoyan.

The night snack bar was bustling, leaving only one small table unoccupied amidst a sea of patrons.

"We're in luck today," Liang Xiaoyan remarked with evident satisfaction, having braced herself for the possibility of seeking out another spot.

Once seated, Yang Yu, famished, wasted no time selecting his favorite dishes from the menu before passing it to Liang Xiaoyan.

He used to be overly concerned with Zhou Qianni's feelings. He now realized that the key to any relationship is to ensure one's own happiness. Being a bit selfish is necessary; otherwise, you risk being discarded like trash.

Liang Xiaoyan casually chose a few dishes for herself.

"I've enjoyed this place on several occasions," Yang Yu mused, his mind drifting to the times he and his roommates would come here to drink and chat. But as three years slipped by, those gatherings grew increasingly rare.

He watched with a touch of envy as groups of friends around him engaged in lively conversation.

While he observed the crowd, he couldn't help but notice many eyes were on him.

And who was Liang Xiaoyan? None other than the renowned beauty of the art academy!
