Chapter 33

Chen Yang felt great, really great. Since being parasitized by an extraterrestrial being, he hadn't felt this happy in a long time.

Of course, he was very happy. Someone was giving him money, and someone was helping him carry things. How could he not be happy?

The trio who lost the bet had to keep their promise and obey Chen Yang's orders for the evening. So Chen Yang snapped his fingers, "Take a taxi!"

The three girls didn't dare to object.

"Cousin, give the money."

Upon reaching their destination, Chen Yang snapped his fingers again, and Xia Yuero obediently paid the fare.

They arrived at a small food alley next to the pedestrian street. As they walked, they saw crab shells, steamed buns, soup dumplings, and grilled lamb skewers. Chen Yang snapped his fingers again, "Cousin, give the money!"

So, Xia Yuero, gritting her teeth, reluctantly took out her wallet and paid, while still having to carry various snacks for Chen Yang, along with her two companions.

"What a bastard, how can he eat so much? Is he a pig in disguise?"

Xia Yuero, holding snacks in both hands, was almost driven mad with anger.

Zhang Xiaole and Ren Xuanxuan exchanged bitter smiles. They weren't any better off, one carrying buns and steamed buns, the other holding a large skewer of barbecue. If their classmates saw them like this, they would be shocked speechless.

So, sometimes, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.

Just as the three girls followed Chen Yang like defeated soldiers, a surprised voice rang out, "Class President, what are you doing here?"

Turning around, a boy in a white sports shirt pushed through the crowd and walked over.

With a fair and smooth face, a well-defined chin, and deep, dark eyes, this boy was exactly the type that springtime girls adored.

"Xiao Qiuye!"

Zhang Xiaole was also surprised, "What are you doing here?"

"Why can't I be here? I can come to buy things too."

Xiao Qiuye came to the side of the three girls and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed the snacks they were carrying. He smiled, "So you came here to eat snacks. Do you want me to be your guide?"

"Pfft, Xiao Qiuye, who needs you as a guide?"

Xia Yuero knew exactly what he was thinking. Being a guide was just an excuse; he really wanted to get closer to Zhang Xiaole.

"I have the skills to be a guide. I've tried every snack on this street."

Xiao Qiuye patted his chest, "I'll recommend a few snacks that will definitely satisfy you."

"Hmph."

Xia Yuero didn't bother with Xiao Qiuye. She glanced over and saw Chen Yang tasting a snack and waving for her to pay. Annoyed, she stomped her foot and hurried over.

"Sorry, Xiao Qiuye, we're not here to taste snacks today."

Zhang Xiaole apologized, pulling Ren Xuanxuan to follow Xia Yuero, "We'll ask you to be our guide another day."

"Hey, wait for me."

Xiao Qiuye wasn't about to give up so easily. He had finally met Zhang Xiaole; how could he be dismissed with just a few words?

"If you're not here to taste snacks, then what are you doing with all those snacks?"

Xiao Qiuye maintained a friendly smile, "Do you want to go to the movies? I'll treat you. There's a new movie out, and I heard it's really good."

"Thank you, but we're not going to the movies."

Zhang Xiaole declined outright.

"Then let's go to..."

Before Xiao Qiuye could finish his sentence, he saw Xia Yuero walk up to a man, take out her wallet, pay, and then take the plastic bag he handed her.

What was going on?

Heaven, what was he seeing? Xia Yuero was actually helping someone carry things?

Xiao Qiuye's words caught in his throat, his eyes wide open, as if he had seen a ghost.

But what happened next was even more shocking. After Xia Yuero took the plastic bag, Zhang Xiaole and Ren Xuanxuan also ran over to take the plastic bags from the man. Then the man turned and walked away, and the three girls obediently followed behind him.

This wasn't just seeing a ghost; it was like seeing God!

Xiao Qiuye was stunned. Who was this man? Why were the three girls obediently carrying things for him? It was as if they were his maids.

Not one to be left in the dark, Xiao Qiuye immediately stepped forward and asked, "Class President, what's going on? Who is this man?"

His voice was loud, perhaps intentionally or unintentionally. Chen Yang stopped, turned, and looked at him.

Only then did Xiao Qiuye realize that this was a very ordinary man, about twenty-five years old, with thick eyebrows and a slightly gaunt face. He was the kind of person you wouldn't notice on the street. But Xiao Qiuye felt something was off, yes, something was off.

When he realized this, he immediately understood what was strange: the man's posture was very straight!

Generally, few people maintain such a posture when they are relaxed or enjoying themselves, as it can be tiring for ordinary people who are used to relaxed shoulders.

Only retired soldiers would have such a habit.

Xiao Qiuye's father was a soldier, and he was familiar with how soldiers walked and stood, so he was sure that this man was not a soldier. His posture, while straight, had a certain indescribable quality.

The man glanced at him, just a glance, and then looked at Xia Yuero, "I've bought enough things. Where do you want to go next?"

"Where else can we go? You bought so much stuff, we can't buy anything else."

Xia Yuero said irritably.

"If we can't buy anything, let's go to the movies."

Chen Yang pointed at Xiao Qiuye, "Isn't that your classmate? He said he would treat us to the movies. How can we not go? We should be polite."

"Who are you?"

Xiao Qiuye, seeing that Zhang Xiaole didn't answer, immediately asked the man who was making his beloved girl carry things.

"Xiao Qiuye, show some respect. This is my brother!"

Xia Yuero, though she didn't like Chen Yang, disliked Xiao Qiuye even more. Seeing his rudeness, she immediately scolded him.

"Your brother?"

Xiao Qiuye was stunned, never expecting this man to be the little devil's brother.

"How can your brother..."

Xiao Qiuye held back his question, why would your brother make Zhang Xiaole and Ren Xuanxuan carry things? Usually, men carry things for women, right? Why was it the other way around now?

"What's it to you!"

Xia Yuero's mouth was never kind, especially to men she didn't like.

"Alright, Xiao Rou, be polite. Didn't Xiao classmate say he would treat us to the movies? How can we be impolite to our host?"

"Please my sister! Who said he was treating us? He's treating Xiaole and Xuanxuan!"

These words circled in Xiao Qiuye's mind, but he didn't dare say them. He forced a smile, "Alright, let's all go to the movies. I'll treat you."

As soon as he said this, he realized something was off. When he offered to take Zhang Xiaole and Ren Xuanxuan to the movies, he was quite a distance from this man. How could he have heard? This was the busiest part of the food street!

But the important thing was that his goal was achieved. Under the strange man's influence, the three girls didn't object and actually planned to go to the movies!

Xiao Qiuye was naturally delighted. Once they were in the cinema, he could sit next to his beloved Xiaole.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. A smile crept onto his lips as he imagined himself secretly holding Xiaole's hand, and her blushing face.

"Xiao Qiuye, what are you daydreaming about? Lead the way!"

Xia Yuero interrupted Xiao Qiuye's fantasies.

"Alright... let's go this way."

Xiao Qiuye, snapping back to reality, immediately took on the responsibility of leading the way and buying tickets.

However, the four of them were in for a shock. When they entered a building and reached the ticket counter, they all looked at Chen Yang, speechless.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Chen Yang seemed oblivious to their shock.

"You... you ate all that in one go? Are you even human?"

Xia Yuero threw away the empty food bag, still not quite believing it.

The walk was only a few hundred meters, and Chen Yang had finished all the snacks. Was that even possible for a human?

"These snacks were pretty good. We should come back and buy more next time."

Chen Yang didn't answer Xia Yuero's question, but turned to Xiao Qiuye, "Xiao classmate, go buy the tickets. We're all waiting for you."
