Chapter 328 Hello, my friends!
After a few beers, Song Yun felt an inexplicable sense of liberation, how long had it been since he drank without a care in the world like today!
Ever since getting the system, although the quality of his life had soared, he realized that some things were gradually moving away from him.
"How do you folks find the skewers at my small shop?"
The barbecue joint's owner, Fatty, came over with a beer in hand and asked with a smile.
"Great! Boss, your skills are impressive, have you ever thought about opening a chain?"
Ouyang Jie swallowed the skewered meat in his mouth and said.
Fatty patted his big belly and said kindly, "I'm getting old, just want a shop that can support me for the second half of my life, I don't think too much about opening new ones."
"You all look unfamiliar, are you here in Magic Capital on vacation?"
Hearing this, Song Yun and Xiao Wan exchanged glances and burst out laughing.
"Boss, my sister and I grew up eating your skewers!"
Fatty pretended to be surprised, his gaze continually sizing up Song Yun's face, but despite looking for a long time, he couldn't recall who this regular customer was!
"It's my bad eyesight, I'll punish myself with a drink!"
Fatty downed his beer in one go and asked curiously, "That's strange, I remember everyone who's eaten skewers here, even if it's tourists from other places eating once, I'd recognize them the second time, but I truly can't place you two!"
"Heh, it's been almost ten years since our last visit, it's normal to forget."
Song Yun refilled Fatty's drink and said cheerfully, "My last name is Song, as kids, our parents often brought a bunch of us here to eat."
"Last name Song..."
Fatty muttered, then suddenly realized and shouted, "Is your dad Song Bu?"
"You still remember him!"
Song Yun didn't expect Fatty to have such a good memory, to still remember someone after so long just by their last name.
"Hahaha, of course! Old Song used to haggle with me over money all the time, always insisting on rounding down the bill whenever he ate here,"
Fatty said with a laugh, "It's just that I haven't seen him in several years, how's your father doing?"
"Strong as a bull, next time I'll bring him here to eat and we won't round down the bill!"
Fatty laughed and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll have to have a drink with that old lad when the time comes! But thinking back, I wouldn't dare recognize those tiny little kids who have now grown so tall and handsome, just putting them out on the street!"
"A man changes eighteen times between childhood and adulthood, and for the better, as you used to tell me."
"It's not the same, not the same; you guys go ahead and eat first, I'll personally go to the kitchen and grill some skewers for you!"
Fatty got up and left, talking to himself.
"Who would've thought that after so many years, Fatty is still as warm-hearted as ever."
Xiao Wan held her cup with both hands and took a light sip of beer.
"Why else would it be packed every day? Do you really think Magic Capital doesn't have any other tasty barbecue stands? It's all because everyone is drawn to Fatty's amiable nature!"
While a few people were chatting and enjoying skewers, a foreigner arrived with three girls and sat at the adjacent table.
Originally, they had nothing to do with Song Yun's table, but when the foreigner caught sight of the several beauties at Song Yun's table, his eyes went wide!
His name was William, from the distant land of Beauty Country. Originally, he was a dropout who wandered the streets all day. But familial ties and blood relations in Beauty Country were taken much more lightly than in Hua Country.
Disappointed by their son's lack of ambition, his parents kicked him out of the house after an argument.
Now a vagabond, he survived day-to-day picking up bottles and cardboard from the streets and alleys.
He thought he'd live the rest of his life in such obscurity, but who could've guessed that by appearing in a foreign blogger's video, he'd be dubbed the "Handsomest Vagabond" overnight and became well-known!
At the peak of his popularity, an education institute in Hua Country, reachable only by crossing the ocean, sent him an invitation.
The email stated that lodging and food would be covered, and he'd earn nearly seventy to eighty thousand a month!
This sum, even converted into Beauty Currency, was no small amount of money!
When he arrived in this unfamiliar land with trepidation, he discovered that there really was a paradise on Earth!
And the job was so easy!!!
He didn't have to prepare lesson plans or continually study to improve himself; he just had to converse with different students each day to practice speaking.
Moreover, he noticed that the local girls would blush inexplicably every time they looked at him!
One day, when he grabbed a girl's wrist to ask her a question, she reacted as if she had been electrified and stammered for a long while before finally saying, "Teacher, you're so handsome!"
This comment truly startled him because, back in his country, such teacher-student romances, if discovered by the parents, could get him thrown into a sewing machine factory!
He righteously rejected the girl then but, troubled, he shared his concerns with a colleague from across the sea.
After listening, his colleague paused, then burst out laughing, comforting him by patting his shoulder and fully explained everything to him.
From that day on, he had a realization that although he was called "teacher," it was a different concept from the teachers he knew, and here, picking up girls could totally rely on one's face!!!
This was like Pandora opening the box, with countless thoughts swirling in his mind.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In the years he had been here, he had dated over thirty girlfriends, bidding farewell to each as soon as he grew tired. He never worried about emotional gaps because if one left, there would be a second, a third, waiting for him!
Like today, the three girls he brought were all his girlfriends. As marriage wasn't an issue, juggling multiple romances wasn't a concern, and rather than leaving him for it, all three were scheming to monopolize him!
That made William think, damn, this was truly living!
But human hearts are never satisfied with the status quo. As he sat in front of the barbecue stand, listening to his three girlfriends exchange veiled barbs, he found them incredibly dull.
As his boredom peaked and he scanned the surroundings, he was amazed to find the girls at the neighboring table stunningly beautiful and full of grace!
If he could be friends with any one of them, he was more than willing to abandon the three women by his side!
"Hello, friends!"
William shamelessly pulled up a stool and sat next to Xiao Wan.
Seeing this overly familiar foreigner, Ouyang Jie frowned but didn't make a fuss. After all, despite his shamelessness, the man did seem to have some manners.
