Chapter 489: Chapter 525: How Could Yours Be So Big

After a busy evening, around midnight, although there were still customers, the crowd was thinning out. Places like night markets are busiest from 5 PM to 11 PM.

The four girls hadn’t changed out of their maid outfits yet and were already sitting around a small table, joined by Lin Shang and Yao Bo. Fang Yi was grilling skewers; they had been busy for so long that they deserved a good treat.

It took about ten minutes, but after Fang Yi finished, he put the skewers on the table. Huo Xiaoxuan couldn’t wait and reached out her hand eagerly, but Ding Miaoyan slapped it away with a disposable chopstick.

"Big sister Yan," Huo Xiaoxuan said, nearly in tears.

"Just let her eat," Fang Yi also sat down.

Everyone gathered around the small table, which felt cramped. Fang Yi gave the go-ahead to start, and no one held back.

"It’s really good," Huo Xiaoxuan, holding skewers in both hands, didn’t care about maintaining a ladylike image. Anyway, they were all friends, so there was nothing to worry about.

Zhou Peilan, Ding Miaoyan, and Han Xiuzhen were a bit more graceful in their eating, unlike Huo Xiaoxuan who threw decorum to the wind. Looking at Lin Shang and Yao Bo on the side, they were devouring their food without any care for appearances.

"Brother Yi, these skewers are delicious!" Yao Bo said sincerely.

"The bastard’s skewers are always tasty, and his roast chicken too. You guys have never tried it, even a five-star hotel can’t compare," Lin Shang remarked while eating.

"I don’t believe that," Ding Miaoyan interjected. "Is it really as great as you’re making it sound?"

Lin Shang replied, "Miss Ding, don’t doubt it. Just ask him to make you a roast chicken tomorrow. I guarantee you’ll want more."

Ding Miaoyan’s gaze shifted to Fang Yi, loaded with inquiry.

Fang Yi laughed, "Don’t listen to his boasting, it’s not like that. Just eat, or it’ll all be gone soon."

Seeing the plate nearly empty, Ding Miaoyan stopped asking and sped up her eating, leaving her dignified image behind.

They all relished the meal. During that time, Fang Yi had to go grill more skewers twice due to not having enough, with Huo Xiaoxuan eating the most, nearly half, showing she was a true foodie.

Around one in the morning, Ding Miaoyan and the other two left together, but Han Xiuzhen didn’t. While Fang Yi was busy cleaning up the barbecue stall, Han Xiuzhen stood by, looking somewhat uneasy and conflicted.

"Why aren’t you leaving with them?" Fang Yi asked.

"I... I... I want to stay and help you," Han Xiuzhen replied.

"Help me? What can you do here, a girl like you? You might be good at being an Assassin, but this isn’t really suitable for you—it’s rough work not meant for you," Fang Yi told her.

Han Xiuzhen bit her lip and said, "Fang Yi oppa, do... do you dislike me?"

Fang Yi chuckled, "Why would I dislike you? You came to help draw customers today; I should be thanking you."

Still slightly offended, Han Xiuzhen said, "But Fang Yi oppa, if you don’t dislike me, why won’t you let me help? If I’ve decided to follow you, alive as your person, dead as your ghost, even as a ghost I would follow you."

Fang Yi broke into a sweat, then heard snickering from Lin Shang and Yao Bo and shot them a glare. Then he pointed to the barbecue stall and said, "Fine, if you want to help, then come on, just don’t mind the dirt."

Han Xiuzhen’s face finally brightened with a smile, and she rolled up her sleeves enthusiastically. However, she tripped over a stray pipe, lost her balance, and her body flew straight toward Fang Yi. With already dirty hands and afraid of soiling her clothes, he just opened his arms wide, letting her fall into him.

Han Xiuzhen’s face rested directly on Fang Yi’s shoulder, and her entire delicate body almost completely pressed against his, inseparable.

With a swish, the face of this female assassin from Cangyun turned a charming red; to say it was as red as a monkey’s bottom wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

A female assassin from Cangyun who was boasting of her prowess had become embarrassed; sharing this tale in the assassin world could definitely stir up a great deal of laughter.

"Wow~~~"

Beside them, Lin Shang and Yao Bo looked over in surprise, making a strange exclamation before Fang Yi glanced their way. Both promptly turned their heads away, pretending to admire the scenery.

Han Xiuzhen’s head was under Fang Yi’s chin, effectively making it look like Fang Yi’s chin was resting on top of her head, and Han Xiuzhen’s arms, intentionally or not, had wrapped around Fang Yi’s waist.

This made it seem as if Han Xiuzhen was the initiator, and Fang Yi was passive.

However, the reality was that Han Xiuzhen was the most embarrassed; Fang Yi couldn’t help but smile wryly and said, "I told you not to come help, but you tricked your way in; now look, you’re at a disadvantage."

Han Xiuzhen bit her lip and said, "Getting taken advantage of by Fang Yi oppa, I’m not at a disadvantage."

Fang Yi felt this Cangyun girl was missing a screw in her head; she was already at a disadvantage and still said she wasn’t, wondering when his so-called regal aura had become strong enough to make this Cangyun girl so blindly devoted to him.

"Alright, alright, don’t come over, just watch from there. If you really want to help, come tomorrow night and help me attract customers," Fang Yi said.

"Okay." Han Xiuzhen reluctantly let go and straightened up. Then, as if she remembered something, she asked, "Fang Yi oppa, does it have to be a maid costume?"

Fang Yi shook his head, "Not necessarily, whatever you like."

Han Xiuzhen had an epiphany, "Okay, Fang Yi oppa, I’ll give you a surprise tomorrow."

Fang Yi smiled, not thinking much of it as he was too busy to care.

Three days later at Red Light Night Market, there was such a spectacle; a long line had formed in front of a barbecue stall, almost blocking the place completely; what was usually a passageway had become difficult to squeeze through.

The noisy voices continued to rise, adding to the fiery popularity of the spot. Although it was September in the golden autumn, the place was so crowded it was somewhat stuffy, and people were almost sweating.

Yet even so, no one was leaving.

From the barbecue stall wafted a tantalizing aroma of grilled meat.

"Wow, how can this grilled meat smell so good?!"

"Boss, you didn’t add any additives in here, did you?"

"Don’t talk nonsense, what additives? I’ve been eating here for several days. That’s not additives. The boss said it’s a special blend of herbs and common ingredients he calls ’Mouth Enchantment.’"

"Mouth Enchantment? Nice name; hurry up, I can’t wait to eat!"

The crowd jostled and pushed. Behind the barbecue stall cart, Fang Yi’s clothes were completely soaked with sweat; even the high-power electric fan nearby was of no use as he soon began to sweat profusely.

Finding a moment, Fang Yi simply took off his shirt, revealing his bare upper body, his muscular arms, slightly bronzed skin, eight-pack abs, and a golden ratio physiquen which instantly drew some women’s exclamations but also some men’s jealousy.

Just then, Huo Xiaoxuan, dressed as a maid, came over and pointed at Fang Yi, saying, "Everyone, see this? These are the abs you get from eating Qingtian Barbecue. Handsome, isn’t he?"

"Handsome!!!" Some women exclaimed.
