Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 232

"Wow, Yunyi, your cousin is so beautiful!" a boy exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yi smiled smugly: "Of course, my cousin is a great beauty!" His tone revealed an undisguised pride, as if he himself were the one who was beautiful.

However, in stark contrast to Yun Yi's smugness, the two girls' expressions turned quite unpleasant. One of the girls, with her hair in a bun, seemed a little uneasy and said somewhat shyly to Lin Yue, "Hello, sister. My name is Shu Yan."

However, another blonde girl glanced at Lin Yue from head to toe. "So-so," she thought, "I spent two hours getting ready before I left the house today." She scoffed, "About the same as me."

The girl with the bun quickly reached out and tugged at the blonde girl's sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.

Seeing this, Yun Yi quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, everyone, stop fooling around. We're here to have fun, having a good time is the most important thing!"

"I've already booked the KTV room, let's go quickly." Yun Yi said confidently, waving his hand casually as if everything was under his control.

Upon hearing this, the boy named Shu Fei immediately smiled with delight and quickly replied, "Hehe, Brother Yun is the best!" As he spoke, he casually handed Yun Yi an unopened cup of milk tea, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Yun, leave your winter break homework to us!"

Yun Yi was somewhat surprised. He looked at the milk tea in his hand with curiosity: "Hey, have you struck it rich lately? You can actually afford two cups of milk tea?" He knew his friends' financial situation well. He still vividly remembered the last time when a few of them had to pool their money to buy a cup of lemonade.

Shu Fei suddenly felt a little embarrassed by Yun Yi's question. He scratched his head and stammered, "Uh... this..."

Before Shu Fei could explain, the blonde girl next to him suddenly snorted coldly: "He doesn't have any money! I paid for all the milk tea you guys drank today! A bunch of grown men drinking a cup of lemonade, aren't you ashamed!" After saying that, she raised her head proudly.

Upon hearing the blonde girl's words, Yun Yi suddenly realized that the two cups of milk tea hadn't been bought by Shu Fei. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Lin Yue, standing to the side, felt somewhat embarrassed. What kind of friends did Yun Yi have? Several of them chipping in money for a single glass of lemonade? It seemed Yun Yi was the richest among them.

The blonde girl handed Lin Yue a cup of milk tea, her expression somewhat unnatural. "My name is Jiang Feifei, here, this is for you." "Thank you, you're really pretty," Lin Yue complimented her with a smile. Jiang Feifei gave a contorted snort and turned her face away.

The group headed towards the karaoke room, and once inside, everyone found a seat. The blonde girl immediately started selecting songs, choosing only the currently popular upbeat tunes and turning the volume up very high.

Shu Fei and the other boys swayed their heads to the rhythm, excitedly singing along. Lin Yue watched as Jiang Feifei pulled Yun Yi into the duet, shaking her head with a smile. She wondered if Jiang Feifei would still do the same if she knew how sloppy Yun Yi was at home.

"Hey, Brother Yun, what's your cousin to you?" Shu Fei, who had been singing several songs and was quite drunk, turned to Yun Yi, who was eating potato chips next to him, and asked.

Yun Yi: "..." At this moment, his expression was like when he was repairing an air conditioner at someone's house and the family asked him what he did for a living.

Shu Fei, his eyes glazed over with drunkenness, asked between hiccups, "Brother Yun, does your cousin have a boyfriend?"

Upon hearing this question, Yun Yi was about to answer when he was suddenly interrupted by a sharp voice. It was Jiang Feifei, who turned around and glared fiercely at Shu Fei: "Why are you asking this? Trying to pursue her? Look at yourself, what do you look like? Your pockets are empty, you're dirt poor, do you think you're good enough for her?"

Shu Fei was taken aback by Jiang Feifei's barrage of scolding. His face flushed red instantly, like a ripe apple. However, they were already used to Jiang Feifei's sharp tongue, so they didn't pay much attention to her words. They just mumbled a reply and then collapsed onto the sofa like a limp rag, falling fast asleep almost immediately.

Watching this scene, Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh. They really were just kids. Although she was only a year older than them, she felt that their behavior was a bit childish, but also quite cute.

At this moment, Shu Yan quietly moved to Lin Yue's side, somewhat embarrassed, "I'm sorry, my brother had a bit too much to drink and was a little impolite. Please don't take it to heart. But, sister, may I ask, are you single? Do you have someone you like?"

Lin Yue smiled and shook her head, replying, "No, we're still students. Early romance isn't a good thing."

Jiang Feifei, who was singing nearby, scoffed. Shu Yan looked apologetic, her gaze slowly falling on Lin Yue, seemingly a little embarrassed. She hesitated for a moment, then started chatting with Lin Yue.

Lin Yue keenly noticed Shu Yan's unusual behavior. She discovered that Shu Yan was intentionally or unintentionally asking her about Yun Yi, especially about Yun Yi's preferences.

Lin Yue noticed Jiang Feifei eavesdropping nearby. She instantly understood Shu Yan's intention; it turned out Jiang Feifei was inquiring about Yun Yi for someone else.

However, her understanding of Yun Yi was actually very limited. Apart from knowing that Yun Yi liked playing games, Lin Yue knew nothing about his other hobbies.

Time flies, and the afternoon passed by in a flash. Soon, it was seven o'clock in the evening.

As night fell, everyone finally emerged from the karaoke bar. Yun Yi, still savoring the afternoon's karaoke fun, enthusiastically suggested, "It's still early, how about we chip in and go get some barbecue? I'll contribute more."

The suggestion was met with enthusiastic response from everyone. Shu Fei, who had been feeling a bit sleepy, suddenly perked up. He rummaged around in his pocket for a while and pulled out more than ten yuan: "I'm so happy today, and there's a pretty lady here too, so I'll take out all my savings!"

Others chimed in, one excitedly saying, "I sold all the cardboard boxes and elementary school books I'd been saving up at home to the recycling center the day before yesterday! Guess what? I got a whole 11 yuan! It's all here!"

Another person chuckled and said, "Hehe, my parents don't give me money, but my grandma secretly slipped me twenty yuan!"

Among this group of people, Shu Yan took out the most money, a full eighty yuan!

Lin Yue sighed, these kids were unbearable to watch. Besides Lin Yue, Jiang Feifei, and Yun Yi, they had actually managed to scrape together over 150 yuan!

Jiang Feifei looked at these people, and a nameless anger rose up: "Fine! You guys are obviously rich! I even took pity on you and bought you milk tea at noon!"

Seeing this, the others quickly tried to smooth things over: "Feifei, we've only just managed to scrape together a little money, and we just wanted to have some fun. Don't worry, we'll cover tonight's expenses!"

Everyone chimed in, and Shu Yan even grabbed Jiang Feifei's hand and shook it playfully. Jiang Feifei was still sullen: "Sigh, forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you poor bastards." The group arrived at the barbecue stall and found a place to sit down.

Everyone was excitedly ordering food. Lin Yue replied to Sister Yun's message asking why she hadn't returned yet, telling them not to worry.

Strangely, she thought it would be her brother messaging her. Sister Yun explained that Lin Mu had gone to work overtime again that night.

Lin Yue was speechless for a moment; her brother was still so busy.

Soon, the skewers and drinks were served. Everyone ate the skewers and drank their beverages, their laughter echoing throughout the barbecue stall.

Jiang Feifei drank a few cups of beverage, her cheeks turned rosy, but she still had a haughty look on her face, while her eyes kept glancing at Yun Yi.

She stood up and said, "Come on, let's have a toast! Today has been so much fun!" Everyone responded enthusiastically, their glasses clinking together with a crisp sound, and laughter filled the air.

Jiang Feifei was having a great time, and her voice was loud. She was also quite pretty, which attracted the attention of other guests around her.
