Silly and Foolish (Revised)

Eating only meat can easily make you feel full, especially lamb. It is well known that lamb leg is not the most suitable part for grilling. Not only does it take a long time to grill, but it is also difficult to get the flavors in. Grilling a whole lamb leg is also quite expensive.

Liu Chang'an thought to himself, "If you don't even know how to order a good cut of lamb with a good balance of fat and lean meat, how are you qualified to pursue Zhou Shuling?"

Every time Zhou Shuling eats barbecue, she thinks about what's at home, and the lamb chops she usually brings back are the ones she gets at home.

Upon seeing them, and considering that the All-Star had been quite accommodating to the restaurant, and that Mi Gaoming had even given them red wine on their first meeting, Liu Chang'an decided to ignore them and find a private room with Bai Hui.

If the relationship is bad, it's natural to mock them, say some sarcastic things, and undermine their confidence—that's how you find enjoyment in life.

As human beings, we cannot be too high in our standards, otherwise we cannot do as we please and will miss out on many joys.

This statement is meant as a joke, and of course, it's based on the premise that everything should be done in moderation and not taken too seriously.

Liu Chang'an asked the waiter to arrange a private room. The restaurant's private rooms are usually reserved for larger groups of customers, but Liu Chang'an is also a regular here. He always eats a lot and spends a lot. Although he doesn't usually pay the bill, he still feels honored to be given a private room.

Chang'an!

Mi Gaoming and All-Star, however, were eyeing Liu Chang'an and Bai Hui. After all, men always have a built-in radar for finding beautiful women, and they can catch a glimpse of a beauty out of the corner of their eye without even realizing it.

Although Bai Hui was often described by Liu Chang'an as having average looks and figure, she still attracted a lot of attention on the street, and seemed to have her own built-in Bilibili sparkle when she was noticed in the crowd.

Upon seeing Bai Hui, one also sees Liu Chang'an.

Bai Hui was slightly nervous. The first time Bai Hui met that greasy-mouthed uncle, Liu Chang'an was also present. That day, the uncle treated Liu Chang'an, Zhou Shuling, and Zhou Dongdong to barbecue at this restaurant. Bai Hui and her classmates were also there. At that time, Liu Chang'an even beat up Guan Yuan.

As for the other slightly younger, more mature man, Bai Hui hadn't seen him before, but he seemed to be an acquaintance of Liu Chang'an... She wondered what this man would think of her relationship with Liu Chang'an he saw her eating alone with him... Maybe he would just think they were ordinary friends? Perhaps... he might misunderstand, so Bai Hui was a little nervous.

A waiter passed by, and it got a bit crowded, so Bai Hui had to move closer to Liu Chang'an.

"Good evening." Liu Chang'an greeted them, then declined to request a private room. He and Bai Hui sat down at their table, showing no intention of sharing. He pointed to their lamb leg and said, "Please continue."

All-Star and Mi Gaoming were somewhat embarrassed. They hadn't thought much when they greeted each other, but now they knew that Liu Chang'an had seen through their foolish behavior during dinner.

Mi Gaoming and All-Star exchanged a glance, neither saying a word, but their eyes conveyed a tacit understanding.

"Today's match will be a draw," Mi Gaoming said to the All-Star.

"We'll fight another day," the All-Star said.

Liu Chang'an handed the menu to Bai Hui, then said to them, "Are you having a competition? The loser leaves, but the winner gets to continue pursuing Zhou Shuling?"

All-Star coughed lightly, feeling slightly embarrassed. After all, he was over thirty years old and should have been more mature and composed. What he was doing was hardly mature and steady, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

"Yes, Little Ling likes men who can eat a lot," Mi Gaoming said with a smile. He didn't feel embarrassed at all. If young people don't do a few crazy and unrestrained things, when they can't be crazy anymore and don't dare to be unrestrained, at least they will have memories to comfort them: Don't look down on me now just as an ordinary bald uncle, I was once crazy too.

They can then develop a sense of superiority as someone who's been there, watching those young people doing crazy things and chuckling softly.

"The key is that even if you win here, there's no guarantee of success," Bai Hui kindly reminded them. Her words reminded her of Bai Hui Lu Yuan and Qian Ning.

Bai Hui wondered if Liu Chang'an thought the same way, so she glanced at Liu Chang'an.

Following Bai Hui's gaze, All-Star and Mi Gaoming also looked at Liu Chang'an.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Liu Chang'an found it somewhat amusing. "You first said they might not have a chance of winning, and then you immediately came to look at me. What do they think?"

Bai Hui was really embarrassed and quickly explained, "That's not what I meant... I meant that Liu Chang'an is the biggest eater... No, I meant that you should focus your attention on Dongdong's mother."

After a breathless and flustered explanation, Bai Hui pressed her hand to her chest, then looked at Liu Chang'an with a hint of reproach in her eyes. Although she had caused the misunderstanding and needed to explain, she still felt guilty towards him. Regardless of right or wrong, she had made him panic and flustered, and he was just laughing and joking by her side.

The way Bai Hui glanced at Liu Chang'an could easily be misinterpreted as meaning that their victory over the other side was meaningless, and that Zhou Shuling liked Liu Chang'an.

This was especially true in front of Zhou Shuling's suitors. However, Mi Gaoming and All-Star were no longer young men whose minds were driven by hormones. Instead, they found Bai Hui's hurried explanation quite adorable.

"Young lady, it seems you have a lot of dating experience?" Mi Gaoming laughed.

"Definitely, they can even coach us," All-Star added.

Bai Hui quickly looked at Liu Chang'an and saw that he had taken the menu back again, completely ignoring the two old men's words. Only then did she feel relieved and deny it. "I didn't do anything. You guys are just too silly. Even men in melodramatic romance dramas wouldn't engage in such a pointless competition."

"Everyone says men are very intelligent when they're in love, but actually, when they truly love someone, they're all a bit silly. You never know what a shrewd person is thinking." All-Star shook his head. Even if he didn't have much experience in love, he was still in his thirties, so he wasn't going to be discouraged by Bai Hui.

"If a man acts silly in front of you, he truly loves you. Because he's focused all his attention on you, he becomes anxious and insecure when doing things in your presence, and his thinking is different from usual," Mi Gaoming chimed in. He had to keep up; who knew if All-Star was saying this to Liu Chang'an, trying to pass it on to Zhou Shuling?

Finally, Liu Chang'an went to Zhou Shuling and explained why men's IQ doesn't increase when they're in love, but rather decreases.

Mi Gaoming couldn't possibly say it himself, could he? Doing these stupid things with the All-Star was obviously for Zhou Shuling's benefit. Zhou Shuling needs to understand his intentions.

Bai Hui wanted to refute them, but then she thought they made a lot of sense. It seemed to be true. Bai Hui nodded somewhat confusedly. She couldn't tell because she had never been in a relationship... Was her boyfriend silly or witty and brave in front of her? Who knew?

"I want five strings of sheep testicles!" Liu Chang'an suddenly said.

Bai Hui rolled her eyes at Liu Chang'an. He did look a bit silly now, but Bai Hui felt that he wasn't focusing all his attention on her, but rather on the food.

I wonder if Liu Chang'an is a bit silly when he's with An Nuan? Does he ever do stupid things like competing with others to see who can eat the most?

That seems impossible... When Liu Chang'an is with An Nuan, he seems no different from usual. He doesn't compete with others to see who can eat more; his normal style is to beat others so badly they can't eat.

Could it be that Liu Chang'an doesn't like An Nuan enough, and his mind isn't focused on An Nuan much, which is why he hasn't done anything foolish for her like All-Star and Mi Gaoming An Nuan?

Thinking about this, Bai Hui felt a little tempted to ask Liu Chang'an some questions, but she didn't want to ask in front of Mi Gaoming and All-Star.

Fortunately, Mi Gaoming and All-Star were already stuffed and had no intention of staying to share a table for another meal. They gave the remaining dozen beers to Liu Chang'an's table, and then the two of them actually went downstairs arm in arm, saying they wanted to find another place to sit.

"Will they go to a bar?" Bai Hui thought they seemed to be looking for a different place to continue drinking.

"Mind your own business, order." Liu Chang'an tapped the menu with his fingers and handed it to Bai Hui.

"I want to eat Panlong... Why did you order five more skewers of lamb testicles? Anyway, don't try to trick me into eating any more. I want lamb chops... or maybe not..." Bai Hui thought for a moment, "Let's have lamb chops then."

"Are we going to eat or not?"

"Eat."

After ordering food, barbecue, drinks, and a fruit platter, Bai Hui looked at the disposable tablecloth laid on the table, then lay down, her eyes darting around, looking left and right, before landing on Liu Chang'an's face. When he looked over, she casually looked away.

"Speak your mind." Liu Chang'an started drinking his beer.

"What they just said... that men act silly when they're in love, it seems to make sense, doesn't it?" Bai Hui looked at her with a questioning expression. She needed to understand men's psychology; there was nothing wrong with that, was there?

"Um."

"And what about you?" Bai Hui stretched out two fingers, crawling along the table until they finally reached the other side. She quickly tapped Liu Chang'an's hand and then withdrew them, looking at Liu Chang'an expectantly.

Liu Chang'an hesitated for a moment.

What was he hesitating about? Did he remember the foolish things he did when he was with An Nuan? Bai Hui observed calmly.

"I don't know how to say it." After choosing his words, Liu Chang'an tapped the table.

"Tell me in detail." Bai Hui was still expectant. She realized that as a friend, she wanted to understand Liu Chang'an better, but she was also reluctant to hear about the silly things he did in front of An Nuan. She was a little conflicted, but she still wanted to know.

"Look at you, even in a normal state, you look like a fool." Liu Chang'an wasn't intentionally trying to put Bai Hui down, but was just being honest. "But I'm different. Even when I do something foolish, I exude an unfathomable aura. Most people can't tell whether I'm just being foolish or have some hidden meaning."

Bai Hui's eyebrows stood on end!

"But..."

AA

"It would be a bit silly to answer your question seriously," Liu Chang'an laughed.

"Then you're silly too!" Bai Hui suddenly cheered up. It turned out that he could be silly sometimes when he was with her!

He admitted it himself! Bai Hui proudly raised her head, then slapped Liu Chang'an's hand again, deciding to carry out her plan after eating the lamb chops. He would definitely go along with her being silly!
