Chapter 511
In the evening, Kennedy booked a seafood barbecue restaurant near the school. There were many late–night stalls
here. It happened to be the season for beer and crayfish now.
Lem suggested, “How about we sit by the entrance?”
Mya agreed, “Sure, I’m fine with that.”
Madelyn nodded, “It’s okay for me too.”
Madelyn remembered the first time she ate at the street food vendor during last year’s holiday. It was Forrest who
took her there. After the meal, she had diarrhea that night. In order to avoid spoiling their mood, Madelyn decided
to eat as little as possible.
It was just right for the four of them to sit at the table. Kennedy and Lem were clearly regulars here. They went to
the food area, and each grabbed an iron tray. All four of them picked various items. Madelyn did not take much
since she could not eat a

They also ordered eight pounds of crayfish. When they returned to their seats, Lem brought over a case of beer.
“Girls shouldn’t drink. So just leave it to Kennedy and me.”
Madelyn looked around and noticed the lively vibe with numerous tables in the spacious area. “Do you come here
often?”
Lem answered, “Occasionally. We don’t come here very often. Kennedy is pretty introverted. He either practices
the piano or works part–time. Besides school, we usually can’t find him.”
Kennedy returned with two cups of bubble tea, one for Mya and one for Madelyn. “I bought them randomly. Give it
a try.” Madelyn said, “Thank you. Is this bubble tea? I’ve never had it before.”
Mya asked curiously, “You’ve never had it? Madelyn, how is that possible? You can find this bubble tea everywhere.
Try it, it’s delicious! I drink several cups a day. Here, let me open it for you.” She inserted a straw into the bubble
teacup and handed it to Madelyn.
Madelyn explained, “Actually, I rarely go out. My father never allowed me to eat street food. It’s my second time
eating it.”
Lem exclaimed, “Wow! Your life sounds incredibly dull. Don’t worry. We’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future.
It depends on whether your fiance allows you to go out. Am I right, Ken?”
Lem nudged Kennedy with his elbow. Then, Kennedy reacted, “Yes.”
Mya sipped her bubble tea contentedly, enjoying every moment. “Let’s consider today an early celebration of
Madelyn’s success in getting into her dream university. Cheers!”
Mya raised her bubble tea. “Madelyn, I’ll use this bubble tea as a toast to congratulate you for passing your
entrance exam. In the future, you’ll be the greatest artist, and I want to become the owner of hundreds of bubble
tea shops. I want everyone to taste the bubble tea I make.”
Madelyn raised her bubble tea and clinked it against Mya’s. “I wish you all the best and success in achieving your
goals.”
Kennedy raised his beer and joined, “Let’s work hard together.”
Lem added, “There’s a bright future ahead of us. Let’s meet at Ventropolis University.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey finished all the barbecue they had ordered, and Madelyn felt like she never wanted to eat it again. Kennedy
paid the bill. Seeing it was only 7:30 p.m., they decided to stroll around the area.
Madelyn suddenly remembered something and asked, “Kennedy, what’s your relationship with Timothy? Are you
relatives?”
Kennedy glanced at her and replied, “How did you know?”
Madelyn said, “Just a guess.”
Kennedy nodded. “His father and my father are cousins. When our family moved, my father chose to stay instead
of moving to Ventropolis.”
Madelyn asked, “Why do you both act so indifferent when you meet?”
Suddenly, Lem spoke up, “You probably don’t know this, but the three of us are currently living together. We see
each other at home every day. So, there’s no need for any greetings even if we bump Into each other at school.
“Besides, Kennedy is the kind of person who doesn’t say more than a few words to anyone. His aunt asked him to
tutor Timothy. It was a disaster for Ken. After almost half a month of tutoring, Timothy still struggled to catch up
with Forrest and remained in Class Six.
“Speaking of Forrest, has he really
