Chapter 605 : Shock! Bai Yiyue Caught Kissing a Mysterious Beauty Late at Night!
“Hey, Xiao Bai, don’t tell me you snuck out to meet me?”
Looking at the fully disguised Bai Yiyue in front of her, Ling Ning asked with a hint of doubt.
“How rude! I told Sister Zi properly before coming out. Honestly, after something as exhausting as a concert, isn’t it fair to grab a bite? Besides, I plan to exercise later, okay?”
Bai Yiyue responded earnestly.
“Oh~ Is that so? Well, I wouldn’t know how you feel since I’m one of those people who doesn’t gain weight no matter what I eat~” Ling Ning calmly jabbed back.
As expected, the mention of "doesn’t gain weight" instantly made Bai Yiyue’s expression falter. Why couldn’t she have such a physique? If she did, she’d eat to her heart’s content without a second thought.
Seeing Bai Yiyue’s reaction, Ling Ning chuckled lightly and said, “Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. So, where do you want to grab a late-night snack?”
“I want barbecue!”
Ling Ning raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure? Barbecue is super high in calories. If you skip exercising, you might end up looking like a ball, you know~”
Ling Ning briefly imagined Bai Yiyue puffed up like a ball, and the corner of her lips curled into a sly smile.
“Emmmm…”
“Alright, alright, no more comments from me. Let’s go. I know a great barbecue place.”
Just as Ling Ning was about to turn and leave, her hand was suddenly grabbed by Bai Yiyue. Before Ling Ning could react, Bai Yiyue pressed her lips against hers.
After a moment, Ling Ning abruptly pushed Bai Yiyue away, puffing up her cheeks in frustration. “Miss Bai! At least consider the situation! Sure, this place is pretty secluded, but what if someone catches us on camera?”
“Don’t worry; no one knows I’m here. The paparazzi all followed Sister Zi’s car. Let’s just treat this kiss as a celebration of my concert’s success~” Bai Yiyue replied nonchalantly.
Ling Ning sighed helplessly. This lovestruck childhood friend of hers was truly beyond saving.
After the two left, a figure suddenly emerged from a nearby corner. A plain-looking man flashed an excited smile as he inspected his camera. Who would’ve thought that taking a random smoke break would lead to such a scoop?
He had already decided on the headline for tomorrow morning’s news:
“Shock! Bai Yiyue Caught Kissing a Mysterious Beauty Late at Night!”
The angle wasn’t ideal, as the mysterious beauty’s face wasn’t visible—just a silhouette. But it didn’t matter. A photo of Bai Yiyue alone was enough.
Thinking about his bright future, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

On the other side, Ling Ning brought Bai Yiyue to a small barbecue stall.
Although it was just a humble stall, the barbecue here was exceptional. Ling Ning didn’t come often, but every visit offered a pleasant surprise. It reminded her of the master from her previous life who had taught her the art of barbecue.
The timing was perfect—it was peak hours for barbecue. Ling Ning and Bai Yiyue found a secluded corner, and Bai Yiyue’s disguise ensured they wouldn’t be recognized.
Ling Ning handed the menu to Bai Yiyue casually. “Order whatever you like. Everything here is great!”
“Let me see… Okay, I’ll take this, this, and this. Oh, and two bottles of… Never mind. Let’s stick with these for now.”
Bai Yiyue initially wanted to order some beer, but Ling Ning’s “kind” gaze quickly changed her mind. Still, barbecue without beer felt like something was missing.
As they waited for their food, Ling Ning asked curiously, “Now that your concert is over, do you have any major projects coming up?”
Bai Yiyue shook her head gently. “Not really. I’ve taken care of everything important, so it’s just a few minor appearances. I don’t plan on leaving S City anytime soon~”
“I see. Speaking of which, I’ve got exams coming up, and I haven’t studied at all~”
Even though she was a reincarnator and her major was something she had studied in her previous life, exams still required preparation. Otherwise, she’d have no excuse for failing, especially in front of Bai Jie.
Determined to score well, Ling Ning decided to set aside some time to study.
“If you need help studying, I’m available~” Bai Yiyue said with a playful grin.
Ling Ning responded with a disdainful chuckle. Although Bai Yiyue was a year older and technically in college, she never attended classes. She was practically enrolled in name only.
While the two chatted, their food finally arrived. Looking at the spread, Ling Ning smiled kindly and said, “If you can’t finish this, I’ll kill you.”
“D-Don’t worry! There’s no way I won’t finish this with my skills!”
Bai Yiyue forced a laugh. If she had known, she wouldn’t have ordered so much. She already felt doomed.
As it turned out, what seemed like a lot wasn’t so overwhelming. Bai Yiyue finished everything just as she was comfortably full. Now, her only concern was her weight.
After paying the bill, the two returned to the main road. Ling Ning glanced at Bai Yiyue and said, “I’m heading back. What about you?”
“Although I’d love to stay at your place, I’ll head home for now. See you later~”
“Mm.”
Bai Yiyue hadn’t walked far before turning back, leaning close to Ling Ning with an expectant look. “Hey, since I’m leaving, don’t I get a goodbye kiss?”
“No. Get lost!”
“Eh?! Don’t be like that! Just one kiss~”
“No way! I’m not kissing someone who just ate barbecue. Now go home!” Ling Ning said with a look of disdain.
Bai Yiyue was left speechless by Ling Ning’s reasoning. She sighed and said, “Alright, I’m off. Don’t miss me too much!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t. Thanks!”
