My brother couldn't be a corrupted magical girl.

Chapter 22 Free Barbecue

Meanwhile, Dongguan City Park

The park became peaceful and beautiful under the night sky, with soft lights shining on Xiaolu and the shadows of the trees swaying in the wind on the ground.

It was around 7 p.m. when Bai Yuze and Bai Youqing got off the Ferris wheel.

Both were lost in thought and remained silent, falling into a profound and tacit silence.

"I finally got to ride the Ferris wheel with my brother, but we didn't see any scenery, and I wasn't even in the mood to take pictures. That damned witch! I curse your mother to always have skyrocketing grocery prices, your father to always get stuck in traffic on his way to work, and that you'll all have five boys in the future..."

Bai Youqing was like a gasoline can that would explode at the slightest touch, her lips cursing softly.

Bai Yuze wandered aimlessly, realizing that the other party's trap wasn't quite set up yet.

He took it all in stride, enjoying the scenery along the way, looking quite content.

Even the Abyss might not know that Bai Youqing is a magical girl, let alone a villainous witch.

It's quite possible that he and his sister simply wandered in by mistake.

However, he won't be coming back anytime soon after today; at most, he'll just give Peng Liang some clues.

As for acts of heroism or anything like that, he doesn't want to get involved in other people's business for the time being.

Last time, my cursed costume went out of control, and I might already be on the radar of magical girls and the security bureau. If I do it a few more times, that old woman Kikyo the Magician will probably come after me.

Along the way, Bai Yuze didn't seem to have any intention of going home immediately. Bai Youqing followed closely behind, hesitant to speak. She wanted to ask her brother to stop walking, but didn't know how to bring it up. This worried situation continued until her unique Mickey Mouse ringtone rang.

"Hey! What are you looking at? It's me..."

It must be said that Bai Youqing was very quick; she answered the phone before Mickey Mouse could greet her with "Your dad."

"Ms. Bai, hello. We are staff from the Dongguan City Park regarding the 'Cool Summer' event. Is it convenient for you to take this call now?" The other party's tone was very gentle and friendly.

"It's convenient." Bai Youqing then remembered that she seemed to have participated in some kind of activity earlier that afternoon.

"According to the list of winners, you are in the second prize category, Ms. Bai. You have the opportunity to eat free skewers at Yinhu Barbecue. The event is only valid for today. If you would like to participate, please try to arrive before 9 pm, as our park staff will be off work after 11 pm."

Upon hearing this unexpected good news, Bai Youqing immediately opened her phone's map and was pleasantly surprised to find that Yinhu Barbecue was actually outside the park. Although it wasn't far from the park, it was better to be outside than inside.

She was just worried about how to deal with her brother's plan to wander around, but now the problem is completely solved.

"Brother, I'm hungry."

Similarly, Bai Yuze glanced at the map and searched for the location of Yinhu Barbecue.

His previously relaxed expression vanished without a trace. Was his younger sister a human disaster radar?

They really do gravitate towards wherever there are calamities. Seeing his sister's excited expression, Bai Yuzhe didn't want to disturb her, so he sighed and said, "Sigh, let's go."

Anyway, I can always cover everything.

"Hehehe." Bai Youqing chuckled foolishly, secretly pleased that she had led her brother out of danger.

During the phone call, the staff asked for their location, and soon a park-dedicated passenger train arrived.

The train was already packed with young, handsome men and beautiful women, most of whom looked like couples, chattering away and appearing very happy. The train moved along the pre-prepared passageway.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yuzhe was a little unsure. Was it really just that his sister was "lucky"?

Before leaving, Bai Yuze glanced at the few yellow balloons on the park pavilion in the distance.

In any case, it's always good to be prepared.

The journey was smooth and unimpeded.

As the miniature train slowly pulled out of the park, the once bustling amusement rides and scenic areas became eerily quiet.

When the car stopped in front of Yinhu Barbecue, Bai Yuze and his companion got out of the car with the crowd and saw Yinhu Barbecue, which is located near the park in Guancheng District.

A few willow trees dot the outside, and nearby lies the scenic, shimmering Silver Lake.

Some people near the fence were enjoying the evening breeze, eating skewers, drinking wine, and admiring the scenery, having a wonderful time.

As they arrived, park staff came out and began checking their identities one by one. Once they were sure they were correct, they led them to their designated seats. Soon, a rather short staff member wearing a mask came over and handed them a menu.

Bai Yuze glanced at the menu and then realized that...

The main dish at this restaurant is actually lobster, with barbecue making up only a very small part. The event at the park clearly only provides free barbecue; if you order lobster, you still need to pay extra.

He flipped through the menu and then handed it to Bai Youqing. He usually ate casually and didn't have any particular food he disliked.

Bai Youqing, who had been eagerly waiting for the menu, ordered a lot of food, since they didn't have to pay today. In the past, when she and her brother went out for barbecue, she always worried about ordering too much and making her brother spend more money. Now she didn't have to worry at all and could eat as much as she wanted.

As for the lobster that requires payment?

Even a dog wouldn't order that!

"Ten servings of each of these: lamb skewers, beef skewers, fish balls..."

The waitress who was taking notes was very professional. She had a smile on her face from the moment she appeared until she left. The only thing that seemed a little off was that the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, as if she had a toothache.

Lobster restaurant promotions often feature well-dressed young couples as winners. The men, who are usually very concerned about their image, tend to be generous in front of their partners and order one or two servings of lobster.

"Even though the food and drinks are free, could you please tone it down a bit?"

Bai Yuze looked at the pile of plates on the table and was speechless.

"I didn't order much, just enough for one person. It's obvious that their restaurant's plates are too big; it's typical of big bowls with little food."

Bai Youqing spoke with conviction, then paused for a moment before continuing in a low voice, only audible to the two of them.

"By the way, brother, eat more. I remember you used to love barbecue, but after Mom and Dad passed away, you couldn't bear to eat it anymore. Look at you, you've lost so much weight."

Bai Yuze doesn't really like barbecue, but his adoptive parents especially like to make it, saying it brings the family closer together.

They make it every weekend, but the taste is really indescribable.

To avoid being tortured, he would run to the barbecue chef after school every day to secretly learn from him. With his own exploration, he gradually became the barbecue chef for weekend gatherings.

Perhaps, his sister's preconceived notions about him were formed at that time.
