Chapter 197 Barbecue



Chapter 197 Barbecue

After a brief introduction to everyone, Yu Bai, with his extensive experience, had roughly figured out the personality traits of these people.

Ryota Kise is good-looking and a model. He appears to be very lively, cheerful and enthusiastic, but he seems to be a cold and proud person inside.

To gain genuine enthusiasm from such a person, you either need sufficient strength to earn their approval or you're simply blinded by their appearance; otherwise, it's basically a lost cause.

Aomine Daiki, a cocky guy nicknamed "Little Black Man," may have developed a misconception that he's the strongest in the world because of his strong abilities.

But all I can say to that is that your perspective is too narrow, far too narrow.

Do you think you're the strongest just because you beat junior or high school students across the country?

Please, let's broaden our perspective.

Aren't you a basketball player?

Look at other countries, look at those professional NBA players. If you can still maintain this mindset after competing with them, then say this.

Midorima Shintaro hadn't talked much, but Yu Bai could see the bandages wrapped around his fingers and the cactus bonsai he was holding in his right hand for some reason.

And the way the person turned away, their ears turning red, after being stared at so intently, but then immediately turned back and glared at him.

Yu Bai suddenly thought, "Ah~ this guy is a tsundere (proud and arrogant)."

As for Kuroko Tetsuya, he was clearly a well-behaved child, but at one moment, Yu Bai saw a smile appear in his originally calm blue eyes because Kise Ryota was frightened by him.

Goodness, it's also a blue-cut black one.

Finally, there was the only girl in the group, Momoi Satsuki. Apart from that greeting, Yu Bai and Momoi Satsuki didn't have any other communication.

But judging from the bright look in her eyes as she gazed at Kuroko Tetsuya, this girl probably likes Kuroko.

All Yu Bai can do is wish her success soon.

"Xiao Zheng, Dun, what are you two planning to do?"

Yu Bai turned his attention away from the people around him and asked Akashi Seijuro and Atsushi curiously.

"We just finished a match and we're going to have a barbecue dinner together. Would you like to come, Bai?" Akashi Seijuro invited Yu Bai.

"Huh? But this is your internal dinner, right? Is it appropriate for me to attend?" Yu Bai hesitated for a moment upon hearing this.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kise Ryota eagerly chimed in, saying enthusiastically, "Absolutely no problem! We'd love to have Yu Bai join our barbecue party! Don't you think so, Aomine?"

Ryota Kise has a strange fondness for the silver-haired boy in front of him, even though Yu Bai had previously made it clear that he doesn't play basketball.

But Ryota Kise could sense that this person was definitely an incredibly powerful individual.

Ryota Kise believed that he was not the only one who felt this way; just look at Daiki Aomine, who had been staring intently at him ever since Yu Bai appeared.

At this moment, Aomine Daiki's muscles, hidden under his clothes, were taut, making him look like a cheetah that had encountered its natural enemy and was on high alert.

"Little Yu Bai?"

Yu Bai was taken aback when Kise Ryota suddenly addressed him with such an intimate nickname.

"That's right~ Yu Bai-chan, I only call people I acknowledge that."

Ryota Kise nodded with a bright smile, then called out "Little Yu Bai" several times, appearing exceptionally happy.

Well, anyway, she has quite a few nicknames, and Yu Bai, who accepts this nickname well, has no intention of stopping her.

The group then agreed to go to a barbecue restaurant together.

……

Akashi and his friends chose a relatively upscale barbecue restaurant this time, and it has to be said that the signboard at the entrance of this restaurant was very well done.

Just looking at the food photos on the screen is enough to whet your appetite.

However, when everyone's gaze shifted downwards and they noticed the price marked in the lower right corner of the image, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.

The prices at this restaurant are practically luxury items in the world of barbecue; they're just too expensive!

If you eat at another ordinary barbecue restaurant and the food isn't good, you might get angry or just let it go because of the price.

But if the food at this restaurant isn't good, considering the price, people will be so angry they'll flip the table.

Originally, everyone planned to eat at other restaurants, but Akashi and Yu Bai, who had plenty of money, immediately decided: No need to change, this is the place!

As a young person of our time, Yu Bai felt he had to try this expensive restaurant; he wanted to know just why the meat was so pricey.

“Welcome~”

As everyone entered, they were greeted by the enticing aroma of barbecue and the warm welcome from the waiters.

Yu Bai scanned the entire store. The overall decoration looked pretty good. Although it was a barbecue restaurant, it didn't feel greasy at all.

Just as he was taking a closer look, a familiar figure came into view, prompting him to blurt out, "Hey? Xiao Jing? Are you guys eating barbecue here too?"

"Huh, Bai? You... what are you doing with this guy?"

Today, someone called his name. Atobe Keigo slowly turned his head from his seat and saw Yu Bai, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Just as I was about to happily invite people over to join me, I saw Akashi Seijuro standing next to Yu Bai.

Atobe Keigo rolled his eyes in a rather unrefined way, feeling that he and this guy were incompatible; how could they run into each other while having a meal?

Most importantly, why is Yu Bai standing with Akashi?

"Ah Bai, Ah Bai, you're here for barbecue too? You haven't come to see us in so long, I'm so sad..."

Upon seeing Yu Bai standing at the door, Jiro Akutagawa greeted him with a happy smile.

Just as she was about to ask Yu Bai if the citadel was very busy, before she could finish speaking, Feng Changtaro next to her stuffed a big mouthful of lettuce wrap with meat into her mouth.

"Ah, I'm sorry! Senior Jiro, let me pat you."

Originally, Ootori Chotaro only wanted to prevent Akutagawa-senpai from revealing Yuhaku-senpai's Honmaru to outsiders.

When he saw Akutagawa-senpai choking on a large mouthful of lettuce-wrapped meat that he had stuffed into his mouth, Ootori Chotaro quickly stood up, bowed, and apologized.

"Cough cough cough... Feng, are you trying to murder me?" Akutagawa Jiro covered his throat and finally managed to swallow the roasted meat in his mouth.

God knows, he almost choked to death just now.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ootori Chotaro patted Akutagawa Jiro on the back while apologizing repeatedly.

……

Atobe Keigo: So, why is this guy standing with Shiro?! He's clearly from our school!

Seijuro Akashi: What a small world! We can't even run into each other while eating barbecue.

Jiro Akutagawa: Waaaaaah! (I'm going to die, I'm going to die!)

Ootori Chotaro: Ahhhhh, I'm sorry, Akutagawa-senpai, let me pat you.
