Ye Chen was just indulging his own mischievous humor, purely to tease the little girl, without closely following her.
The little girl was clearly frightened and, in a crisis, she exploded with a burst of speed that surprised Ye Chen somewhat, and, combined with her knowledge of the terrain, she turned corners and disappeared.
A smile crept across Ye Chen's face as he didn't take it too seriously and went on his way toward the villa.
After the little girl's commotion, Ye Chen's mood had improved considerably. At that moment, the aroma of barbecue wafted over, and he suddenly felt hungry.
Having not eaten much at Ning Yuxi's home and seeing that it was almost evening, Ye Chen decided to have some barbecue to fill his stomach.
Following the scent, Ye Chen saw a man setting up a barbecue stall, which, apparently only recently opened, had no customers yet.
"Boss, give me a few skewers, make them extra spicy, and a bottle of beer,"
Ye Chen found a seat and called out to the owner.
