C64 (1/2)
Soon, Mo Yuxuan's body was shrouded in smoke, and she was surrounded by the burning plum trees, making her seem like a fairyland.
A wooden table that looked like a barbecue rack was placed on top of the fire. The fire was burning like it was waiting for food.
Bai Zhixi carried out all kinds of food that was specially made by her. Looking at the barbeque in front of her, she was instantly full of praise. The fact that she was able to create such a similar object with just a casual comment was truly admirable.
”Alright, everyone, let's start the barbecue!”
He skillfully placed the various vegetables, meat, and self-made peanut oil on the table and continuously roasted the meat.
As for Dongfang Chen and the rest, they were sitting by the side, gracefully drinking tea, talking and laughing merrily. From time to time, they would look at her with curious gazes, and she would smile in reply, as though she was a good wife and mother, completely enchanting.
After a long while, a burst of fragrance assaulted their nostrils. The fresh meat on the grill was yellow but not greasy. It was glistening yellow and exuded an alluring fragrance. Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva, looking forward to it.
When Bai Zhixi saw this, he looked at Lan Yi. Lan Yi tacitly walked towards them with the already roasted food.
”Miss Bai, is this what you call barbecue? Can you eat this dark stuff? ”
Dongfang Hao picked up a piece of roasted mutton, and his delicate eyebrows knitted tightly, his disdain for food overflowing in his words.
They could not be blamed for this. Ever since they were young, they had never eaten like this.
Hearing that, Bai Zhixi snatched it from his hands, and without hesitation, he took a bite, and dissolved it in his mouth. It was extremely fragrant, but not greasy, and in an instant, he felt that his culinary skills had improved by a lot.
”Go, go, go! If you don't eat, don't block me!” The food this beauty roasts will taste even better when it's hot. ”
Nangong Xuan pushed away Dongfang Hao who was still standing in his original position in a daze, and shot him a coquettish glance, before starting to eat without any regard for his image. Everyone took their favorite food and went out as they saw him like this.
”If only there was wine.”
Bai Zhixi said in a daze as he chewed on a piece of beef and gulped it down.
The crowd shot looks of praise at her. With such delicious food in front of her, how could she not have good wine?
After Jun Mohan heard this, he gave Qing Shu a signal with his eyes. Not long after, Qing Shu brought a group of servants in, all of them holding onto a jar of wine. The small courtyard was instantly filled with wine jars. The smell of the quiet and sweet wine floated over, like a sweet spring water from the countryside, refreshing the hearts and souls of people who were unable to extricate themselves.
”Wow, Black Fox, I didn't expect you to be able to brew the osmanthus flower from ten years ago and take out the red girl from five years ago. You are truly a pain to bear!” A few days ago, I begged you for so long but you still didn't take it out.
Dongfang Hao looked at the jar of wine in front of him. Like a mouse looking at a cat, he stared straight at it with gleaming eyes. He picked up the jar of wine and finished it in one gulp. From this, it could be seen that the wine was an extraordinary delicacy.
”Eighth Prince, you must be joking. This wine was originally left here by an old friend in my prince. When I received the news a few days ago, my old friend had already passed away. I suddenly remembered that there was still fine wine left with me. Today, everyone will drink to their heart's content. ”
Bai Zhixi had just carried a piece of beef that was so tender that it was dripping with meat to Jun Mo Yu. She wanted to thank him for taking care of her for the past few days.
He didn't expect to hear these words, and suddenly felt that they were very familiar. As he raised his head to look at Jun Mo Yu, he could see that she was also staring at him intently. Time seemed to have stopped as his clear and limpid eyes clearly reflected her unfathomable beauty. However, from the inside, she could see a deep grayness, like an endless ocean. She could not help but take a step forward, but she could not see the camera.
”Cough cough cough, Miss Bai, I dreamt of being a fool for ten years, and yet I realized that I was in danger.” This prince pays his respects to you and wishes you will return to normal. ”
Hearing that, Bai Zhixi woke up in a flash. Only then did she realise that Jun Mohan's handsome face was just inches away from her own face.
He turned around and bowed towards Dongfang Chen, then picked up the table and finished it in one gulp. His faintly discernible presence still lingered on, and his face was as tender and beautiful as a ripe apple. The two blobs of red, cold wind blew on without dispersing.
”Hehe, this is my first time drinking wine, so I made a fool of myself.” Rou Er, what are you looking at me for?
Perhaps because her drinking posture was too fierce, she was instantly embarrassed by the burning gazes of the crowd. He quickly headed towards Northern Chuchu to urge her to stop this awkward moment.
When the crowd heard this, they were shocked once again. She actually called the ice-cold princess this way. As expected, she was not an ordinary person.
”Crown Prince, this humble girl offers you a toast. Thank you for saving my life.”
Seeing that everyone was looking at Bai Zhixi and the others, Shangguan Jingyan had a smile in his eyes as he walked over to Dongfang Chen gracefully with the cup in his hand. After bowing to him, she blushed as she spoke shyly.
Hearing that, Dongfang Chen frowned, he had never met the young miss of the Shangguan family, so why did he have to say something to save her?
”Crown Prince probably forgot, one month ago, this humble girl was searching for her mother's birthday at the market, and did not want to be hit by the crazy horses, but fortunately, Crown Prince acted to save her, and when she regained her senses, the Crown Prince was completely surrounded by the people, and this humble girl was initially unable to squeeze in, but was eventually brought back to the manor by her family. After thanking him that day, he quickly bade farewell. Without this incident, the servant girl was frightened and went to the other garden to recuperate. She had not had the chance to properly thank Chu Feng in front of him. Today, I shall offer these flowers to the Buddha to thank Crown Prince for saving my life. ”
Shangguan Jingyan's beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, her limpid eyes were secretly moving, and her voice was like a warm wind that swept across everyone's heart. After finishing his words, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Hearing that, Dongfang Chen suddenly realised. That day at the market, he saved a woman, it was Miss Liu. All along, he had thought that it was Bai Zhixi, but because of her figure, her way of speaking was completely compatible with her.
He did not expect it to be Shangguan Jingyan, this was something he did not expect.
When he broke away from the people that day, she was no longer there.
Afterwards, when he ate with her in the Love Sea, she always wore a veil, so he was unable to see her appearance clearly. He didn't want to think about it, so he made a mistake.
