Sophie only came out at half past twelve.
“Didn't I tell you to eat first? Why are you still here waiting for me?” She felt apologetic to see that they were still waiting for her.
Sandra answered cheerfully, “We aren't such lousy friends! Also, you will be so bored eating by yourself!”
The three of them frequently ate together.
Moreover, it was just waiting for a while. They were naturally willing to wait for her.
“Okay, let's go! Since it's so cold, let's go eat BBQ.” There was a good BBQ place at the University of Medicine.
In addition, eating BBQ in this cold weather was ideal.
“Of course. Let me treat you guys.” She felt apologetic about it since they had waited for her for so long.
“Let's go! It's just BBQ! It doesn't matter who's treating.” Simon was not someone short of money.
Moreover, how could he let a girl treat him to BBQ?
The trio went to the University of Medicine's cafeteria.
Since Sophie was busy just now, she didn't have the time to check her phone. She realized she had a few missed calls upon taking out her phone.
They were all from Tristan, so she immediately called him back.
“What happened? Why did you call me so many times? Did something happen?” she instantly asked when the call connected.
“It's nothing. I don't have anything in the afternoon, so I came to eat lunch with you. Where are you now? I've arrived at your campus entrance.”
Tristan had already arrived at the university.
“You can head straight to the cafeteria. We're heading there now, so you can wait for us there.”
Since he was already here, they could have a meal together.
“Is that Mr. Tristan?” Sandra asked once Sophie hung up the phone.
“Oh, you guys don't mind eating BBQ with him, right?” Sophie glanced at her friends.
“Of course, we don't mind! Why would we mind?” Sandra had seen Tristan before, so she was curious about him.
Simon felt slightly uncomfortable.
Since he liked Sophie, it felt strange that he was going to have lunch with her boyfriend.
However, he knew he shouldn't make the situation awkward for Sophie.
When the trio reached the cafeteria, Tristan was already waiting for them. Although he was only wearing a black wool coat, he looked unreal standing from afar.
His appearance attracted the attention of many females in an instant.
It was rare to see such a handsome man, even in the entertainment industry.
“Sophie, your boyfriend is too handsome!” Only Sophie would suit a man like Tristan.
Simon naturally noticed Tristan too, and he sighed softly.
I'm not worthy.
Standing next to Tristan, Simon wouldn't even dare to say he liked Sophie as the man was simply too outstanding.
Even if one didn't know who Tristan was, one would know he wasn't someone to be trifled with from his aura.
At this moment, Tristan also noticed Sophie. He walked up to her before wrapping his arms around her waist.
“Aren't you cold?”
He decided to hug her since he knew she would be cold.
“I'm actually not that cold today.” Tristan's arrival naturally delighted Sophie.
“You already know Sandra. This is Simon. He's also our classmate.” Sophie then turned to Simon and said, “Simon, this is my boyfriend, Tristan!”
Sophie introduced them to one another.
Simon stretched out his hand, and Tristan shook it.
“Let's go! What do you want to eat?”
“We decided to eat BBQ. You don't mind, do you?” The weather was perfect for eating BBQ.
“I don't mind. Let's go! It's too cold outside.” Despite her claims that the weather was fine for her, her hands were icy cold.
He placed her hand in his pocket to provide her some warmth.
Sandra became even more envious after witnessing Tristan's warm gesture.
“D*mn it! Not only is Sophie's boyfriend this handsome, but he's also caring! How unfair!”
Simon didn't say anything.
Sandra was also aware that Simon had feelings for Sophie. Even though Simon was uncomfortable in this situation, she felt he deserved it since Sophie already had a boyfriend.
“Simon, are you okay?” she queried.
“I'm fine!” He already knew that Sophie didn't like him. Nevertheless, it still hurt slightly when seeing her with her boyfriend since he really liked her.
The four entered the BBQ shop. Since it was a cafeteria, there were no private rooms, so they had to sit with others.
There were already many people inside.
It was initially noisy in the shop. However, everyone quietened down upon seeing Tanner.
It was as if they felt that the noisy atmosphere didn't suit his aura.
Upon noticing new customers, the shop owner immediately cleaned a table for them.
“Please wait a moment! There are many customers here, so you guys might have to wait another twenty minutes!” The business was thriving, so it would take longer to prepare food because it needed to maintain its quality.
“It's fine! Go on,” Sandra told the shop owner.
Tristan took a tissue to clean the seat for Sophie and the table before sitting her down.
He wasn't used to eating in such an environment.
However, since he was already there, he could only go with the flow.
Since others could eat at that place, he naturally could eat the food too.
“Are you okay with eating here?” Sophie was afraid he wasn't used to eating in that environment.
“It's fine. It's pretty good.” Even when he was attending school, he had always eaten in restaurants. He had never been in the school's cafeteria to eat BBQ.
However, he suddenly felt younger being in such an environment.
I'll just treat this as a new experience!
There were many people at the BBQ shop. After waiting for around twenty minutes, the shop owner finally brought their grill to them.
Upon seeing the grill had arrived, Simon took the initiative to pick the ingredients.
“I'll go and pick our ingredients!”
Sandra instantly stood up. “I'm coming along with you.”
The two headed off to choose their ingredients since the shop was buffet-style, where its customers could choose unlimited ingredients.
“Should I go?”
Since Tristan had never eaten in such a place, he wasn't clear about what to do. The places he ate at had never required him to do that!
He always ate in high-end restaurants, so naturally, the servers would serve him the food. He never had to do anything.
“There's no need. You're not familiar with this place, so let them do it. They're only taking some food. It's fine.” Sophie knew he was unfamiliar with having a meal like that.
How could she let him take the food?
“It does add a tinge of liveliness to this place.” He didn't dislike being in a place like that.
“You call this lively?” Sophie was a person who enjoyed the silence, so she felt that it was a noisy place.
However, she liked the food there, so she was willing to put up with it.
Moreover, she couldn't expect perfection with the shop's affordable prices!
