Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

"Where are you going? Let's go together." Qin Yu chuckled and put his arm around their shoulders.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue and her companion looked slightly embarrassed: "This isn't quite right, after all, our parents aren't very familiar with your parents."

"What's the big deal? We'll get to know each other as we chat." Qin Yu waved his hand dismissively with a smile. "It's almost New Year's, so it's nice for everyone to get together and have a lively time."

“Yes, you are all Qin Yu’s friends. It’s so much fun for everyone to get together,” Li Sisi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue and Li Xiaoke felt a surge of warmth in their hearts, and then they both smiled and nodded.

……

At this moment, inside a private room in a restaurant.

Qin Yu, Li Sisi, Liu Damao, Li Xiaoke, Lin Qingxue, and their respective parents gathered together, exchanging warm greetings.

"Oh, Lord Lin, welcome!"

"Please don't be shy, everyone. After work, I'm just an ordinary person. Just treat me as Lin Qingxue's ordinary father."

"Haha, you're so funny."

"Ms. Li, has my son Xiaoyu caused you any trouble at school?"

"...Hehe, of course I didn't cause any trouble. Qin Yu is pretty 'well-behaved' at school, just a little 'naughty' sometimes." (Gritting teeth face.)

"So, what's causing all those bumps on your head...?"

"I tripped and fell by accident." (Looking at Qin Yu with a murderous expression)

"..."

The adults were busy exchanging warm greetings and pleasantries with each other.

However, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, they fell into a long silence and awkwardness.

After all, Qin Yu's parents were only somewhat familiar with Liu Damao's parents.

As for the other two sets of parents, they were complete strangers before this.

What's more, one of them was the city lord of Jiangnan City, so everyone was a bit reserved, which made the dinner even more awkward.

"Hey, the weather's pretty nice today, huh?"

"Yes, haha..."

Have you eaten?

"Aren't we just about to eat?"

"Oh, right, right, hehe..."

To keep the atmosphere from getting awkward, everyone could only try to keep up the awkward small talk, which made the younger generation on the side so embarrassed that they were picking their toes on the floor.

At that moment, options appeared before Qin Yu's eyes.

[Option 1: Silently focus on eating your rice, without saying a word, and let the meal end in extreme awkwardness. Reward: A small amount of spiritual energy.]

Option Two: Take the initiative to break the awkward silence and become the one who breaks the ice. Reward: Earn the title 'Awkward Silencer'; your smile can reduce the other person's embarrassment by 10%.

[Option 3: Lead all the younger generation away, leaving the elders in an even more awkward and predicament. Reward: 50 points of mental energy]

Looking at the options before him, Qin Yu's eyes darted around, then he stepped forward, put his hands behind his back, and coughed twice, saying:

"Well, now that everyone's here, I'll just say a few words."

"Well, that's the situation right now. We'll have to look at the specifics, but that's the gist of it. Okay, applause if you understand!"

Everyone: "..."

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, everyone's lips twitched involuntarily.

Good heavens, these words are truly invaluable!

The last time I felt this speechless was the time before last.

Seeing the still bewildered expressions on everyone's faces, Qin Yu waved his hand speechlessly.

"Give me a break, they're a bunch of good-for-nothings."

"Hey, how about we find another restaurant and eat together?" Qin Yu suggested, looking at Liu Damao and the others.

Upon hearing this, Liu Damao and the others all nodded without hesitation:

"agree!"

Then, the younger generation fled the private room as fast as they could, leaving their parents looking at each other in an even more awkward atmosphere.

Afterwards, Qin Yu and his group went to a hot pot restaurant, where they happily ate hot pot and sang songs, having a great time.
