Chapter 402 Little Brother Shao
Chapter 402 Little Brother Shao
Lin Chen became withdrawn and completely distanced himself from Shengjing Yao.
Hiding in a corner, I took out my phone and started searching for: "How to deal with a 'green tea' girl," "Argumentation training," "Techniques for roasting someone," "The art of language," and so on.
As the saying goes, a good man never suffers immediate losses.
Once he's finished his studies and returned, we'll deal with this annoying brat!
Gu Nanfeng sipped his tea, his probing gaze intentionally or unintentionally falling on Ji Yu'an, a meaningful emotion flashing across his eyes before disappearing in an instant.
After a moment, Gu Nanfeng spoke up: "I heard that Young Master Ji has been recuperating in Beijing?"
Ji Yu'an frowned slightly, looked up at Gu Nanfeng, and smiled slightly: "Yes, my condition suddenly worsened a few years ago, and my grandfather took me to Beijing to recuperate for a while, but I have recovered now. Thank you for your concern, Brother Gu."
He and Gu Nanfeng didn't have much of a relationship, and their way of addressing each other was somewhat distant.
Sheng Jingyao glanced at Ji Yu'an. The two families' elders were on good terms, so he naturally knew Ji Yu'an and was aware of his complicated background.
However, the Ji family kept Ji Yu'an's illness a closely guarded secret, and no one could find out what illness he actually had.
Holding the whole plate of strawberries in his hands, Sheng Jingyao bit into the tip of a strawberry and asked with a curious look, "Weren't you pretty good at playing the piano before? Why didn't you continue?"
Ji Yu'an did not answer the question, but calmly asked in return: "Young Master Sheng used to be doing very well with live streaming, why did you stop?"
Sheng Jingyao raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Jiang Zhouzhou: "Sister, how about we do a live stream together next time? I'll boost your popularity, and the title will say, 'Game streamer Xiaohan's first live stream showing her face.'"
The sudden change in tone drew everyone's attention back to Sheng Jingyao.
He always seizes every opportunity to scheme and find ways to make his presence felt.
Zhou Xian clicked his tongue and said mercilessly, "What kind of popularity can a washed-up game streamer help her gain?"
Having finally managed to escape the center of the conversation, Jiang Zhouzhou is now facing another major headache.
She dared not even imagine the scene of her appearing on a live stream alongside Xiao Dian...
But seeing the little boy's eager look, she blinked. "But Little Dian is so handsome, I don't want others to see him."
With just a simple sentence, the young master's lips curled into a wide smile.
Jiang Zhouzhou glanced at the time; it was almost time to meet the employee who would deliver the barbecue ingredients.
The predicted light snow has not materialized, and the sky is showing signs of clearing up.
Just then, her phone rang. Jiang Zhouzhou answered it, said a few words, and then hung up.
"The groceries delivery person has arrived. I'll be right out."
There are a lot of people today, so it would be a hassle to prepare the barbecue ingredients myself. I would have to marinate the meat in advance and skewer it.
When her kind neighbor learned that she wanted to have a barbecue, he arranged for a home delivery service and covered the cost of the ingredients.
In the courtyard, a long table was set up, and a variety of delicious ingredients were laid out on it.
Considering that no one wants to be next to each other while barbecuing, a small barbecue grill was provided.
Looking at the ingredients, Sheng Jingyao asked, sticking ginger porridge to his lips, "What would you like to eat, sister? I'll grill it for you first."
Jiang Zhouzhou pointed to the chicken leg: "This one!"
Chicken legs are harder to cook, so having Xiao Dian grill them will keep him in line for a long time.
It's just like how parents deliberately choose a complicated toy to keep their child quiet.
Lin Chen's eyes darted around as she silently selected the ingredients she wanted, then walked to the side.
Before long, all the ingredients on his plate had been transformed.
The potato slices were cut into heart shapes.
The sausages were cut in half and skewered into heart shapes.
He can even cut steaks into "heart-shaped" pieces and temporarily place them on the grill.
When Sheng Jingyao saw the commotion on Lin Chen's side, the corner of his mouth twitched twice.
On the other side, Zhou Xian frowned as he picked up his phone to search for barbecue tips.
At this moment, the scene has fallen into a state of peaceful harmony.
The phone rang again. Jiang Zhouzhou thought Han Junhe was almost there, but she was held up by some unexpected circumstances and couldn't come.
Jiang Zhouzhou expressed her understanding, and the two chatted on the phone for a while longer before hanging up.
The aroma of roasted meat gradually filled the courtyard.
Yin Yue handed the pre-grilled meat skewers to Jiang Zhouzhou. The man, who was skilled in cooking, was also a master of grilling.
"How does it taste?"
Her rolled-up sleeves revealed a small portion of her wrist, and the sandalwood bracelet she usually wore had been removed.
"Thank you, Brother Yin Yue."
Jiang Zhouzhou took a small bite, and some cumin powder accidentally got on her lips. Yin Yue gently wiped it off with a tissue.
This scene naturally caught the attention of others.
Seeing that the American cockroach was the first to show interest, the others sped up.
Zhou Xian blew on the charcoal fire in the barbecue grill, but was choked and coughed twice.
Xiao Dian stared at the still uncooked chicken leg, and started plotting something in her mind.
At this moment, he said to Lin Chen, "Little Shao, go get a drink for my sister."
Lin Chen was used to hearing the name "Little Third Brother," so when he was called "Little Burn Brother," he subconsciously replied, "Why don't you go get it yourself?"
Xiao Dian snorted: "My sister wants to eat the chicken leg that I grilled myself, so I have to keep an eye on the heat and can't leave at all."
Lin Chen glanced at Zhou Zhou's location and realized there were no drinks next to her, so he had no choice but to resign himself to going back inside to get one.
Seeing him leave, Xiao Dian's eyes darted around.
She picked up the scissors and ran to Lin Chen's barbecue grill, cutting all the heart-shaped ingredients into pieces.
Zhou Xian looked at the charred skewers and silently walked to the Shengjingyao barbecue grill.
He sprinkled a thick layer of chili powder on the undercooked chicken leg and calmly turned to leave.
Lin Chen, back at his barbecue grill: "..."
Shengjing Yao, upon returning: "..."
