In the evening, a taxi cut through the light drizzle, finally stopping on the street in front of the main entrance of Wanda Plaza.

Lin Jin got out of the front passenger seat, slightly frowning as she looked around at the traffic-jammed streets. Immediately, her muscles tensed. She cast a glance at the densely crowded streets, habitually reaching into her pocket to pull out a cigarette, wanting to play the part of a street thug. But then she remembered she hadn't smoked in over a week.

So, she could only furrow her brows tightly. Squinting her eyes, she put on a fierce expression. With her hands in her trouser pockets, she bent slightly at the waist. Combined with her somewhat disheveled hair, damp from the rain, she looked entirely like a loafing thug.

That should scare those who think I'm easy to bully!

It's not just Lin Jin's imagination. When she was in middle school, people often called her "little sister" whenever she went out. She could handle that, but once in high school, she needed to go somewhere far away and took a taxi. The driver took a roundabout route and overcharged her. When she questioned this, the burly-faced driver glared at her fiercely. Back then, Lin Jin wasn't as impulsive as she is now, and since she couldn't beat him in a fight, she could only swallow her pride.

Even more outrageous was that because of her innocent look, she was once overcharged five yuan when she went to eat at a small local eatery. Although she looked somewhat feminine, her appearance during high school wasn't too feminine. The acne on her face turned her from an easy-to-misjudge boy into a more masculine-looking boy, but she still found herself being taken advantage of in various situations.

After enduring a lot of silent losses, Lin Jin finally learned to pose as a tough guy. During her high school years, her favorite hairstyle was a buzz cut. Along with her fierce expression and the steel pipe she almost always carried, she had not been bullied for a long time.

But such actions seem rather childish…

"Take the umbrella." Wu Min, having paid the fare through the app in the car, quickly came up to Lin Jin with an umbrella. "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? Standing in the rain like this."

"It's okay, it's not heavy."

The rain at the moment was just a light drizzle, which Lin Jin didn't mind. Still, she took shelter under Wu Min's umbrella.

"I tell you." Wen Xuan hurriedly caught up with them. "Why are you walking so fast?"

"No reason." Lin Jin scanned the sea of people, hoping to find the guy who sold her the jade comb. That guy could be considered the culprit who turned her into a woman.

No wonder back then, that person shoved the jade comb into my hands like a hot potato.

Lin Jin frowned tightly. She almost forgot that she had encountered that street vendor back then, who had forcefully given her a jade comb before leaving. Moreover, the most bizarre thing was that even though Wu Min and Wen Xuan were right by her side, as soon as the vendor left, they immediately forgot about the incident, as if they had filled in their own versions of the event.

"Let's go, why are you daydreaming?" Wu Min gently pushed Lin Jin's shoulder. "Let's go eat."

He felt that Lin Jin had been daydreaming a lot recently, and often mumbled some strange words to herself.

"What are we eating?" Lin Jin immediately came to her senses and asked Wen Xuan, "Did you check if there's anything good to eat nearby?"

"How about all you can eat barbeque?" Wen Xuan walked beside Lin Jin. "It's in the snack street next to Wanda Plaza, full of restaurants."

"Do you mean the street we went to for KTV before?"

There is a street next to Wanda that is full of various shops, such as self-service barbecue, self-service Japanese cuisine, Korean fried chicken, and other quirky shops. Most of them are food-related, with a few hair salons and KTVs.

Actually, Lin Jin does not like eating barbecue. Eating a little is okay, but eating too much easily leads to acne, and barbecued food is too fattening.

As a man, she doesn't care too much about weight, as long as it's within the normal range, but even though her last weight was under 50 kilograms, she feels she's gained quite a bit recently. Has she exceeded 50 kilos yet?

Therefore, she wouldn't allow herself to gain more weight.

Why are there rewards for modifying facial shapes in tasks, but none for changing physique? Like, can it change her into someone who won't gain weight or get acne no matter what he eats?

Um… if there really was such a reward, that would be great.

"Lin Jin, why are you daydreaming again?"

Suddenly coming back to her senses, Lin Jin looked around and realized that she had followed Wu Min and Wen Xuan into a barbecue shop. The decoration of this barbecue shop is quite Japanese style, and there are quite a lot of customers around, occupying about three-quarters of the seats, but that's not the point…

The point is, why is Wu Min holding her hand?

Lin Jin, with a bewildered look on her face, shook off Wu Min's hand. Actually, it's not so much holding hands, Wu Min just grabbed her wrist.

But she still finds it strange, since when do men hold hands with men? It feels a bit gay.

"You were daydreaming again, so I just pulled you along." Wu Min explained to Lin Jin matter-of-factly, and then asked the waiter about the price of the buffet like a boss.

It looked like Wu Min was treating, not Wen Xuan.

However, Lin Jin was still troubled by the idea that holding hands looked very gay. He might be mistaken by the waiter in front of him as a couple with Wu Min, and they were of the homosexual kind.

"Here's a table for four." The waiter led the three of Lin Jin to a corner and took a tray from a cabinet on the side, applied some oil to the sunken electric stove in the center of the table with the oil bottle on the tray, "Sir, if you need anything, please call me."

"Okay." Wu Min nodded at the waiter, then turned his head and saw Lin Jin curiously looking at the sunken part of the table. He twitched at the corner of his mouth, even if she hadn't eaten this before, she didn't need to look like a bumpkin, right?

"Is this for barbecuing?" Lin Jin pointed at the sunken area, and asked Wu Min next to him, "Will it be undercooked?"

"Your girlfriend is really cute." The waiter laughed softly, nodded at Wu Min, then retreated to the side to chat with other idle waiters.

"Girlfriend?" Lin Jin's mouth twitched, he sat down next to Wu Min, and asked Wen Xuan, who was sitting across from him, "How do I look like his girlfriend?"

"You look like a couple" Wen Xuan nodded in agreement with the waiter's words, "Why don't you two just get together?"

"I am a man, okay?"

"Pfft!" Wu Min took a sip of the tea on the table, and almost spit it out.

"What?!" Lin Jin stared at him unhappily.

"Nothing, this tea is just too bitter. You don't believe me, you try?" Wu Min pushed his tea to Lin Jin, stood up, "I'll go get some meat."

"I'm not trying your already drunk tea." Lin Jin rolled her eyes, stood up and went to the self-service area to get some food she liked.

After all, this is her first time eating all you can eat self-service barbecue in her life. She needs to eat something good, at least try each item.
