Huayu: This top star doesn't play by the rules.

Generally speaking, when three men get together, they automatically combine to form an idea king.

Although only Chen Chao and Chen Xingxu are men among the four people gathered together, this does not prevent the generation of the "Idea King" because the number of people has exceeded three, automatically triggering the team synergy.

"By the way, I heard there's a really good barbecue place nearby." After quietly enjoying his snacks for a while, Chen Chao suddenly spoke up, "Anyone want to go together after training tonight?"

Upon hearing Chen Chao's question, Meng Ziyi, who was eating snacks, immediately brightened up. When it came to food, she was no longer sleepy.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xingxu finally asked, "What time?"

"Hmm, it'll be around nine o'clock."

"Then... I can."

Seeing Chen Xingxu's agreement and Meng Ziyi beside her with her face clearly showing her desire to go, Li Yitong thought for a moment and then agreed as well.

"Then it's settled," Meng Ziyi said, clapping her hands to draw everyone's attention before Chen Chao could say anything. She immediately set the meeting place and time, "Everyone, meet at the hotel entrance at nine o'clock tonight. Don't be late!"

"OK!"

"no problem!"

"OK!"

Chen Chao and the other two naturally had no objection to the arrangements made by Meng Ziyi. It was rare for someone to take the initiative to make plans, and they were happy to have some free time.

—————————————————————————————

Nine o'clock at night, at the hotel entrance.

After tidying up her personal hygiene, Chen Chao stepped out of the hotel and immediately saw Meng Ziyi standing at the door. She had changed into casual clothes, wearing a white sweatshirt and blue jeans, with her hair tied in a ponytail, looking youthful and energetic.

"Snacks?" Walking up to Meng Ziyi, Chen Chao looked curiously at the bulging canvas bag she was carrying.

"Secret weapon~" Meng Ziyi mysteriously hid the bag behind his back, but because of his big movements, the canvas bag wobbled slightly and made a clinking sound like bottles and jars.

Raising an eyebrow, Chen Chao guessed somewhat uncertainly, "Barbecue seasoning from Changchun?"

Upon hearing Chen Chao's words, Meng Ziyi's eyes widened in surprise: "How did you know?!"

"Just a guess. After all, Changchun is known as the barbecue capital. You're from Changchun, so you must have your own secret recipe." Chen Chao said with a smile, reaching out his hand to Meng Ziyi. "This thing looks a bit heavy. Let me help you carry it."

Faced with Chen Chao's action, Meng Ziyi was stunned for a moment, but after reacting, she quickly hung the canvas bag in her hand on Chen Chao's hand: "Thanks~"

"No need to thank me, just keep your sweet potato snacks away from me next time."

"Sweet potato snacks are delicious and healthy, why don't you like them!"

"...I'm allergic to sweet potatoes, thank you."

Completely surprised by Chen Chao's response, Meng Ziyi puffed out her cheeks, about to say something more, when the hotel door suddenly opened.

Wearing a dark blue coat and with his hair freshly styled, Chen Xingxu emerged from inside, looking noticeably more energetic. He glanced at Chen Chao and Meng Ziyi, and asked with some curiosity, "Are you two arguing?"

"No!" Meng Ziyi denied without hesitation. "We were just exchanging ideas."

He glanced at her first, then at Chen Chao, and Chen Xingxu's lips twitched slightly: "Oh."

Upon hearing Chen Xingxu's "Oh," which clearly contained a great deal of information, Meng Ziyi instinctively wanted to ask further questions.

But just then, the door opened again, and Li Yitong ran out of the hotel, holding her phone in her hand: "Sorry, I just got a call, so I'm a little late."

"It's alright, we just arrived. Now that everyone's here, let's go." Chen Chao waved casually, smiled, and led the way.

.......

Didi drove through the night in Xiangshan. The best passenger seat with the best view was occupied by Li Yitong, while Chen Chao and the other two sat in the back. Chen Xingxu was on the left and Meng Ziyi was on the right. Chen Chao, who was sandwiched in the middle, felt that he could not even stretch his arms.

"Move over a bit." Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, he turned to Chen Xingxu and said.

Upon hearing Chen Chao's words, Chen Xingxu silently moved a little distance toward the window, but it didn't seem to change anything.

"...You've just moved to a pointless place."

Faced with Chen Chao's complaints, Chen Xingxu's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. He just moved his body again and moved a little bit further. This was the limit he could do, after all, he was also very tall and strong.

Clinging to the back of her seat and watching their interaction, Li Yitong laughed so hard she almost fell over: "Can't you two have any chemistry?"

"Understanding is mutual." Chen Chao sighed, spreading his hands with a helpless expression. "I moved, but he didn't."

"I moved it." Staring at Chen Chao with wide eyes in disbelief, Chen Xingxu really didn't expect that this guy would be so shameless as to lie through his teeth.

"You call that moving?"

"Call."

Meng Ziyi, who had been quietly listening to the two's childish conversation, suddenly reached out and pushed Chen Chao: "You two are so noisy~"

Chen Chao, who was caught off guard, was pushed so hard that he fell towards Chen Xingxu and the two of them collided. At the same time, they both shut up.

Having been watching Li Yitong the whole time, she couldn't help but laugh even louder, her eyes narrowing into cute crescent shapes, which made the driver take another look at her.

Meng Ziyi, the one who started it all, seemed to realize what was happening and started laughing.

"Aren't your standards for humor a bit too low?" Chen Chao couldn't help but complain as he rubbed his shoulder after bumping into someone.

"But you two are really hilarious~" Meng Ziyi retorted confidently, wiping away the tears she had shed from laughing.

As if she had just thought of something, she pulled a bag of small twisted dough sticks from her canvas bag. "By the way, are you hungry now? Would you like to have something to eat first?"

Since they had already arranged to have barbecue at 9 pm, Chen Chao and his friends only had a light dinner; the barbecue was their main meal for the night.

Faced with the small twisted dough sticks that Meng Ziyi had taken out, Chen Chao was the first to reach out, grab one, and put it in his mouth. He took a bite and found it sweet, crispy, and delicious.

Seeing how much he enjoyed eating, Chen Xingxu and Li Yitong each grabbed one, and the four of them began to crunch on the twisted dough sticks in the car.
