Su Ziyu was flipping through the news as he walked.
After all this ti had passed, he felt slightly confused himself because he probably counted as a missing person now.
"Are you guys driving?" Su Ziyu stopped on the sidewalk and asked.
They’re in the suburbs.
Huaxia’s Sky Eye system is famously powerful, and he didn’t want to be caught flying in the sky.
"We... we are..." Liu ng replied, panting as she caught up. Although Su Ziyu didn’t seem to be walking fast, they had to jog to keep up with him.
The two girls were in a sweat from fright, their makeup was smudged, and they looked a bit disheveled.
But girls from the capital, having heavier makeup was normal.
"Where’s the car?" Su Ziyu paused slightly and waited for them to catch up before saying, "Give a lift on the way."
Can’t fly, can’t run too fast.
He could only hitch a ride.
"Ca... can you give back my phone?..." Liu ng weakly pointed to a red sedan parked in the distance.
Su Ziyu glanced at her and casually said, "I’ll use it for a bit longer."
"After all, I did save your life."
"Right?"
The other two might not know what happened, but this girl nad Liu ng definitely knew. After all, her consciousness was still intact, and she could clearly feel sothing taking control of her body.
"Th... then you use it..." Liu ng shrank her neck, speaking softly.
So obedient, yet so timid.
Compared to usual, she seed like a completely different person, although the curiosity on her face was hard to hide, and she kept sneaking glances at Su Ziyu.
Su Ziyu signaled them to start the car while he dialed a number on the phone.
"Hello?" A familiar male voice answered, carrying a hint of a local accent.
As soon as the call connected, Su Ziyu hung up.
Liu ng was secretly observing from the side, and she quickly retracted her gaze when she noticed Su Ziyu’s eyes on her, stamring, "You got through? Why hang up?"
Su Ziyu, expressionless, said, "You have too many questions."
She was a woman full of curiosity and loved flirting with danger.
He slid into the passenger seat, while the other two timidly sat in the back.
At that mont, Su Ziyu looked at the rearview mirror, touched his cheek, and suddenly asked, "Are you guys hungry? Have you had dinner?"
The sudden question left the three beside him bewildered.
Ultimately, Liu ng cautiously replied, "We’ve eaten."
"But I’m a little hungry." Su Ziyu leaned back in the soft seat, casually fiddling with a little yellow pendant hanging nearby, saying, "This is a perfect ti for so late-night food."
"Why don’t you treat to a late-night snack?"
"I feel like hotpot."
His words left them stunned for a mont, then Liu ng, urged on by her friend, nodded, "Sure. I know a place with great Sichuan hotpot."
"Do you like spicy food?"
Finally, a slight smile appeared on Su Ziyu’s face as he nodded, "Yes."
With that, he resud fiddling with the phone in front of him.
It was very different.
The car started slowly.
The three others seed a bit tense, while Su Ziyu looked at the strange yet familiar scenery outside the window and casually asked, "Are you into live streaming?"
Liu ng nervously gripped the steering wheel, stealing a glance at Su Ziyu’s pale face, and softly said, "We do so occasional streaming."
"We mainly make short videos."
Short videos?
Su Ziyu opened a video app and glanced at it. There was a logged-in account shown as ’Tuanzi,’ featuring an avatar photoshopped to look like a fairy. He casually browsed and said, "Isn’t it nice to dance to house music or do so food streams?"
"Why go to such places?"
"You need to understand."
"If you court death, you will die."
Heh.
Liu ng, with her braver personality, seed like she wanted to laugh but didn’t dare, quickly ducking her head, "I got it."
"I won’t go again."
"You..."
Just then, Su Ziyu’s gaze swept over, causing her to swallow her words again.
Nowadays, young people are impressively adaptable.
Just with too many questions.
Aren’t they afraid of getting silenced?
Su Ziyu tossed the phone back nonchalantly, closed his eyes as if taking a nap, and quietly said, "You’re all lucky today."
"Don’t go to such places again in the future."
"Also, don’t ask too many questions."
"It’s best to forget what happened today, and if you can’t, keep it to yourself."
The crowd on both sides of the road was starting to get denser.
It was just the start of nightlife in the capital, as Su Ziyu casually glanced at the surrounding people, feeling a touch of sentint inside.
It’s nice.
Everyone’s alive.
The restaurant wasn’t too far; it took about half an hour’s drive to get there.
By then, the other two had sowhat recovered from the initial shock and were sneaking glances at him. The young man even looked eager to ask questions but dared not speak.
That’s typical.
What man wouldn’t be drawn to supernatural abilities?
They probably thought I was so ghost-hunting exorcist, Su Ziyu mused, not bothering to explain.
No money, no phone, no ID.
Right now, he just really wanted so hotpot, to fill his stomach first and think about everything else later.
The Hourglass of Ti is running out.
The ti he could stay in this world was limited. Since Earth back ho didn’t have much pollution, Su Ziyu had no need to rush around and might as well take the opportunity to rest, gather so intel, and see what’s happening on Earth now.
"How many of you?"
"Inside, please?" The smiling server nodded, her gaze sweeping over Su Ziyu’s face, appearing a bit surprised.
This person looks so pale.
Could he have just recovered from a serious illness? But he seems quite handso!
The server almost lost her focus while looking at Su Ziyu before turning to lead them inside.
"We’ll need a private room," Su Ziyu said, sniffing the air with satisfaction.
Very authentic.
You can tell just from the sll.
I miss this.
Feels like it’s been a lifeti since I had hotpot.
"Three plates of tripe."
"Five of beef and five of lamb."
"Two servings of lettuce."
"Two of cilantro."
"Rice cakes, dough sticks, tofu skins, duck intestines, river shrimp, atballs, quail eggs..."
"These...these...and these..." Getting bored with the list, Su Ziyu casually waved his hand, "Bring one of everything."
The server, slightly worried, glanced at him and quietly spoke, "Sir."
"You might not be able to finish so much."
Su Ziyu casually put down the nu and said, "It’s fine. We’ll finish. Serve it quickly."
With that, he glanced at the three others, the first ti a noticeable smile appeared on his face, "I’ve ordered quite a lot."
"Feel free to pick whatever you like."
Ho is the best.
How long has it been since I had a proper al?
Look around.
Everyone’s alive here.
It’s just pleasing to the eye, feeling comfortable from the inside.
Soon.
The server brought the food over, and the manager, eager to please, also brought so drinks, warmly greeting Liu ng, "You’re Tuanzi, right?"
"I’ve seen your video."
"You guys here for filming? A big eating challenge?"
"These drinks are on the house! ... The rest will be up shortly! ..."
The manager handed over a few bottles of drinks, inexpensive, just a few dozen yuan, and before leaving, whispered so instructions to the server.
"Pretty famous, aren’t you?" Su Ziyu said as he placed a plate of tripe into the hotpot.
"Yeah." Liu ng cautiously responded, "Maybe a fan who’s watched my video."
The short-haired girl looked pretty, and with proper makeup and filters, her beauty was undeniable. As long as she was willing to appear on cara, she’d surely attract an audience.
Su Ziyu was too lazy to ask more, getting up to prepare a dipping sauce.
Sesa sauce, chopped scallions, chili sauce, and so on.
Mmm.
A bit of garlic paste, too.
