Chapter 560: [Bizarre]
After observing the surroundings of the motel, Chen Xiaolian noticed that night had completely fallen. The street behind the motel was lined with various food stalls and night markets, occupying half the already narrow street. Pedestrians and bicycles, along with delivery vans from some restaurants, could only slowly navigate through the smoky haze.
Chen Xiaolian sat down at a barbecue stall, ordered some food casually, and grabbed a bottle of beer. He sat there drinking alone, passing the time.
As business picked up in the evening, Chen Xiaolian's occupation of a table by himself seemed to annoy the owner, who came over to ask if he could share the table with other customers. Chen Xiaolian did not mind and happily agreed. He watched a group of students, likely from a nearby university, settle at the adjacent table but continued to eat and drink alone.
