Chapter 249: Chapter 249: The Second Brother Learns from the Master
Xiao Yu’s cold deanor turned even colder, his expressionless face sweeping a glance over the man playing gas next to him, his dark pupils holding a hint of intimidation.
The man’s hand holding the beer bottle trembled, he let out a dry laugh, “I, I was just joking…”
No matter what, Xiao Yu was his boss, so the man didn’t dare to go too far.
The air around them stilled for a mont, until the senior quickly spoke up to break the tense atmosphere, “Isn’t that barbecue over there getting burnt?”
“It seems so, what’s the chef doing?”
“Ah, I forgot!”
...
A group of people hurried over to the grill, teasing and laughing, quickly forgetting the incident with the ga.
Xiao Yu’s face finally relaxed, his gaze subconsciously drifting towards Ji Yuqiao, who was sticking her tongue out playfully in Lin Xu’s arms.
Her eyes sparkled more than ever, her round, plump almond eyes brimming with light when she smiled, her beautiful crescent eyes shining with brilliance and vivacity.
Xiao Yu’s eyes were dazzled by her smile for a mont; his heartbeat suddenly paused, and after a brief stop, it began to pound fiercely, an uncontrollable turbulence rising within him.
His heartbeat had already lost its rhythm, and his thoughts beca hazy.
“Xiao Yu, co eat so barbecue,” the senior called him over from the grill, pulling back his drifting thoughts.
Xiao Yu paused, silently withdrawing his gaze.
“Okay.”
On the other side,
Ji Yuqiao also finished grilling a few skewers of at and handed all of them to Lin Xu upon returning, “Mother, try these, I grilled them just for you.”
The at sizzled invitingly, the aroma of the charcoal-grilled at wafting through the air, making one’s mouth water.
Lin Xu took a skewer and bit into it under Ji Yuqiao’s expectant gaze, “It’s very tasty.”
“Really?” Ji Yuqiao’s eyes lit up instantly.
This was her first ti grilling at for Lin Xu, and hearing her praise made a surge of fulfillnt well up inside her.
“I’ve never had such delicious barbecue before, I didn’t expect our Lanyue’s cooking skills to be so good, even better than the barbecue stall masters.” Lin Xu lavished praise as if it cost her nothing, words tumbling out one after the other.
Ji Yuqiao blushed shyly, her enthusiasm blossoming, and she couldn’t wait to grill her another hundred or eighty skewers, “Mother, what else would you like to eat, I’ll go grill it for you right away!”
“Corn and potato slices.”
“Okay!”
Hearing Lin Xu’s praise for her sister, Ji Zeqiu suddenly felt an urge to move, and ca over to Ji Yuqiao’s side, beginning to grill so corn kernels and potato slices.
Ji Yuqiao glanced at him suspiciously, “Second Brother, you’re not trying to copy , are you?”
Ji Zeqiu coughed, “How could that be, I just felt like eating so skewers, that’s all.”
“That’s good then, Mother doesn’t like it too spicy.”
The skewer-grilling motion hesitated for a mont, and Ji Zeqiu imdiately switched to a new skewer, this ti adding just a pinch of chili powder.
As he reached for other seasonings, he caught Ji Yuqiao’s scornful gaze out of the corner of his eye.
“I knew it,” her eyes narrowed slightly, she huffed, “Second Brother, the know-it-all.”
“I just realized I put too much chili, and I have to take photos later. It wouldn’t be good to break out in acne for the cara,” Ji Zeqiu refused to admit it.
The sa was true when he shared with Lin Xu.
“I accidentally grilled too much, too much for one person to eat, so here, take so.”
Ji Zeqiu divided more than half for Lin Xu, leaving only two or three skewers for himself. Watching Lin Xu take his skewers, his eyes hid a faint expectation.
However, Lin Xu’s wrist took a turn, handing the skewers in her hand over to Xie Changyan, “Try your son’s cooking skills.”
Ji Zeqiu’s body suddenly rose, and he reached out with his long arms to snatch the skewers from Xie Changyan’s hand, “These are for Lin Xu.”
He had specially made them for his mother, this man didn’t deserve to eat his skewers.
“But I can’t eat this much by myself, and it’s nice to share a bit with everyone.” Lin Xu looked distressedly at the plate in front of her, which held more than a dozen skewers.
With her small appetite, how could she possibly finish them all by herself.
“No, he is not allowed to eat,” Ji Zeqiu guarded his skewers, preventing Xie Changyan from touching them.
Lin Xu: “Then give them to Ting Yang to eat.”
Ji Zeqiu: “No, that bastard isn’t allowed to eat either.”
This one’s not allowed, that one’s not allowed.
Sotis he was even more capricious than Ji Yuqiao.
“Since no one is allowed to eat them, then you eat them all,” Xie Changyan’s gaze flickered toward Ji Zeqiu.
His gaze was fierce, his face turned solemn, and his commanding presence made Ji Zeqiu inexplicably tremble in his chest.
Ji Zeqiu’s voice lowered a few notches, and he nudged the plate towards Lin Xu, “These are for her.”
“She said she can’t eat so much by herself, and since you don’t want to give it to anyone else, then eat it all yourself,” Xie Changyan’s deep voice was flat.
All of a sudden.
It seed as if Ji Zeqiu had returned to his childhood, to the scene of being scolded by his father.
He had taken a baking class in kindergarten and brought back a full jar of cookies he had made himself, and the first person he wanted to share with was his mother.
“Did Zeqiu make these cookies by himself, they’re so tasty,” Lin Xu held his chubby little face and kissed him happily, “Our Zeqiu is really amazing, he knows how to make cookies for mom now.”
Ji Zeqiu covered his kissed cheek with his little hand, smiling shyly before stuffing all the cookies from the jar to Lin Xu, “Mom, eat.”
Lin Xu ate a few more cookies and then thought of taking Ji Zeqiu upstairs to change his clothes.
However, Ji Zeqiu was relentlessly insistent that she had to finish all the cookies.
“Mom just had so fruit and can’t eat any more now, can I save them for tomorrow?” Lin Xu said.
“No, eat now.” Ji Zeqiu pulled at her sleeve, not letting her leave.
“Mom really can’t eat anymore, can we share so with your brother?”
“No.”
“Then let’s share so with dad.”
“No,” Ji Zeqiu protected his jar, not letting anyone else touch it.
He made a scene, and his voice reached the study upstairs, and Ji Yanli ca down from the second floor, after understanding the situation, he glanced at him indifferently.
“Then finish it yourself,” Ji Yanli said coldly.
“It’s for mom,” Ji Zeqiu pouted.
“Mom said she can’t eat anymore, and since you don’t want to share with anyone else, then eat it all yourself,” Ji Yanli’s voice deepened, with an imposing aura.
Faced with an authoritative father, the little child caved in imdiately, tears fell like broken pearls, dropping heavily from his eyes.
In the end, he cried while finishing the entire jar of cookies.
