"Why did you guys get back so quickly? Didn't you say it would be late?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Black Glasses said you'd definitely cook tonight, and thinking we could finally have a better meal, he rushed back." Wu Xie said as he walked inside, adding, "You guys don't know, following Black Glasses, I went hungry nine times in three days! I ate instant noodles every meal!" He then walked up to Ling Xiao, raised his arm, and said, "Ling Zi, smell this, I'm so marinated, I feel like I smell like braised beef."

"I thought you'd become like Sanxian Yi Mian (a type of instant noodle) after following Hei Xiazi, but I didn't expect Hei Xiazi to have a conscience and choose a more expensive instant noodle for you." Ling Xiao took two steps back. Wu Xie was indeed well-marinated; Ling Xiao felt that there was even the smell of braised beef in the air.

"How about we go out for something to eat?" the fat man suggested, looking at the candlelight dinner on the table.

"Going out to eat is too much trouble. Isn't this a ready-made meal? I've never had a candlelight dinner before. Let me experience romance!" Black Bear said, pulling out a chair and plopping down in it.

"Young Master, you're being so romantic but you didn't invite Blind Man? Doesn't Young Master like Blind Man?" Black Bear's tone was quite aggrieved, unless you looked at him showing off his food.

Ling Xiao pulled Xie Yuhua down to sit, placed a placemat for her, and replied to Hei Xiazi, "Brother Hei, you're joking. I'm a married man, so it's best to avoid making these kinds of jokes in the future."

Ling Xiao's words drew everyone's attention to him. Xie Yuhua felt a warm current welling up inside her, mixed with joy. Who wouldn't want to be introduced to someone by their other half in a generous and open manner?

"Lingzi, you and Xiaohua are together?" Wuxie exclaimed, looking just like a badger looking for melons in a melon patch.

"Yes!" Ling Xiao gently stroked the back of Xie Yuhua's head and whispered in his ear, "Next time I take you to a fun place, there definitely won't be any more third wheels!"

The understanding flower's smile was full of happiness, and she nodded in agreement.

"Young Master is really going too far! It's one thing to leave the blind man out of the party, but he didn't even make the blind man's favorite stir-fried pork with green peppers!" Black Bear said as he ate a piece of meat with his chopsticks.

"But I haven't seen you eat less!" the fat man said, rolling his eyes at the blind man.

Black Bear chuckled and said, "What do you know? Shredded meat is precious, sliced ​​meat is even more valuable, but if there's a big piece of meat, both can be thrown away." After saying that, he stuffed another big piece of meat into his mouth.

"Congratulations!" The young man nodded and congratulated Ling Xiao and Xie Yuhua, but his eyes showed the doubt in his heart when he looked at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao understood the meaning in his eyes, shook his head slightly, raised his glass, took a sip of wine, and thanked him.

The waiter looked away and frowned slightly at the plate.

And so, what was supposed to be a romantic getaway for two turned into a dinner party for several people. During the meal, Xie Yuhua suddenly brought up Hei Xiazi's new business.

"What a load of bull!" Wu Xie cursed angrily.

"That blind guy said he'd created a zero-cost sound system that would definitely make money, but he made us help him play marbles! We competed against a bunch of elementary school kids, and our fingers were all swollen from playing! We did win a whole jar, but then he turned around and asked for 50 cents each to sell to the kids. They're kids, not stupid! Who buys secondhand marbles, especially since they won them from someone else's pocket!" Wu Xie finished speaking and pulled out a bunch of marbles from his pocket.

Ling Xiao was intrigued when he saw that they were marbles. He had only ever seen other children play with such things before, and he had never played with them himself! So he picked one up and examined it carefully.

"Want to play?" Jieyuhua asked him.

Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "I can't."

"How do you play this?" Ling Xiao asked, holding a glass marble in one hand and raising it to his chest.

"Of course we're going to flick the marbles! Young master, watch closely!" Black Bear said, indicating that it was time for him to show off his skills. He stretched out his arm, eager to try, picked up a marble, and flicked it to the ground.

Ling Xiao also took a marble and headed towards Hei Xiazi's marble. When the marbles touched, everyone saw Hei Xiazi's marble shatter into two pieces.

"I think I used a bit too much force..." Ling Xiao pursed his lips and said. Sure enough, he was more suited to hidden weapons...

"Young Master, this isn't just about strength, it's practically murder!" He, Hei Xiazi, has lived for over a hundred years and has never seen anyone who could break a marble by flicking it. This young master is definitely one of them!
