The smoky barbecue aroma quickly filled the room. Zhou Xinyao kept fanning her face, hoping the smoke would stay far away from her face and not smudge her makeup. Noticing her actions, Karen couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"There's no potential date here, why are you so concerned about your appearance?"
Zhou Xinyao gave her a sidelong glance, already regretting coming, but outwardly she tried to appear nonchalant. "What does it have to do with having a date? I just don't like the smell of smoke, unlike you. Shouldn't you be concerned about your appearance?" With that, she glanced at Lu Zuo sitting next to her, "Lu Zuo, your date with Lingling went well, right?"
"You misunderstood, we didn't go on a date." Before Karen could speak, Lu Zuo quickly answered.
"No date?" Zhou Xinyao was stunned, clearly not believing it. "But I definitely saw you two at the mall..." As she spoke, a skewer of grilled red willow meat was handed to her, "Eat more, talk less."
