After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 4 The District Chief Captured by Lamb Skewers

Liang He needed to stay and assist with Cedriel's treatment, but the service station mainly provided equipment and food for wild beasts, so she needed to make additional purchases.

Last night, Xu Yi specifically asked her what supplies she needed to purchase, so that they could be delivered together with the bed.

"Someone will be delivering supplies soon. I've also prepared the medicine Cedril needs. Will he be able to come back?"

Xu Yi handed the medicine he had prepared the night before to Liang He, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the direction where Cedril had disappeared, a mixture of anticipation and nervousness in his eyes.

If Cedril doesn't come back in the end, then they'll have been happy for nothing.

"Leave it with me for now."

Although she had spent a friendly night with Cedril, it was Liang He's first time encountering interstellar animals, and she needed to learn more about them.

"At worst, I'll go find him and apply medicine to him in the wild."

Hearing her say that, Xu Yi thought it was a good idea, better than them not being able to get close at all.

"Okay, I have other work to do and need to get back to the main service area first. Can you manage on your own?"

This area is Cedril's territory, and he doesn't like humans getting close, so there are no staff at Service Area 7.

"rest assured."

Although Liang He looked confident, Xu Yi and his colleagues in the control room were all worried about this petite and fragile human from Earth.

After seeing Xu Yi off, Liang He stole some lamb legs that were meant for Cedril, intending to grill some lamb skewers.

"I don't know when the people delivering the supplies will arrive, or if they'll make it in time for me to season the lamb skewers."

Liang He sighed softly. She should have put all the seasonings in her backpack.

Nutritional supplements? Impossible! She can't eat any!
The foodie nature of Earthlings is ingrained in their very bones!

"Shouldn't I be considered not late?"

Just as Liang He found some small wooden sticks, whittled them into skewers, and was threading lamb skewers onto them, a deep, magnetic voice rang in her ear.

Huo An looked down and saw a delicate and petite face. Her skin was so tender that it looked like it could be pinched red with one hand. He couldn't help but soften his voice and lower his eyes.

"Hello, I'm Huo An."

Upon hearing the other person's self-introduction, Liang He quickly stood up from her chair and looked at the tall man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, deeply realizing the height difference between the two of them.

She was considered tall among the people of Earth, but when she stood next to Huo An, she had to look up to meet his gaze.

I must say, my neck is really tired.

"Hello, my name is Liang He."

Liang He quietly took two steps back, finally escaping the crisis on her neck.

Huo An and his colleagues in the control room, who had been watching her every move, thought: Sure enough, I (the district chief) scared the petite and adorable human from Earth!
"Yes, I've come to deliver supplies to you."

Realizing that Liang He might not know him, Huo An didn't introduce himself much, but instead started moving things off the aircraft.

Since Liang He said last night that she would stay to treat Cedril, Huo An knew that he would not be able to see Liang He for a while, so he simply took on the job of delivering supplies, just to see Liang He once.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing Huo An start to get busy, Liang He felt a little embarrassed and wanted to help, but the impression that Blue Star people were fragile and vulnerable was deeply ingrained in her bones, and Huo An wouldn't let her do anything.

In the end, Liang He could only dig out the seasonings he had brought over, preparing to treat his hardworking colleague to roasted mutton.

After Huo An finished installing the extra-large double bed, he was about to ask Liang He if she needed help making the bed when he suddenly smelled a strong fragrance.

"What's this?"

Liang He used whatever materials he could find to cobble together a barbecue grill. The lamb skewers on wooden sticks rolled around on the charcoal fire, sizzling and dripping with oil. As Liang He sprinkled on the seasonings little by little, the enticing aroma of grilled meat instantly filled the air, making one's mouth water.

"Hmm... lamb skewers." Suddenly remembering that she was the one who 'snatched food from the tiger's mouth,' Liang He's cheeks flushed slightly. She held up the grilled lamb skewers and handed them to Huo An, adding a cute smile in an attempt to get away with it.

Huo An sniffed the aroma of the lamb skewers, and almost unconsciously took one, took a bite, and savored the lingering fragrance.

He finally understood why the Earthlings were unwilling to drink the nutritional supplements; what kind of miserable life had he endured before?!
"what about the taste?"

After all, this wasn't Earth, and the barbecue ingredients were limited, so Liang He waited nervously for the diners' feedback.

"delicious."

Huo An glanced at Liang He's meager amount of lamb skewers, then at the lamb prepared for Cedril in the corner.

"How about... you bake them all?"

Since Cedril doesn't like it anyway, we might as well let them handle it to avoid waste.

To be honest, what Liang He prepared wasn't even enough to fill his teeth.

"it is good!"

Having successfully won over District Chief Huo An's stomach, Liang He excitedly dragged over the mutton, brandishing a small knife, ready to gobble it up. Huo An, startled, quickly ripped the mutton skewer off his hand and got up to help.

How can humans, who are so fragile and petite, do such physical labor?

Of course, he should come!
In the control room, the crowd watched in disbelief as the district head was captivated by a skewer of lamb: Just how delicious must this lamb be?! They wanted to try some too, sob sob…

"Just eating lamb skewers won't do, how about we grill a lamb leg and make some lamb soup?"

After learning about Huo An's appetite, Liang He glanced at the wooden skewers in front of her and figured they couldn't handle such a large amount of food, so she simply added two more dishes.

"It will be all right."

Perhaps still impressed by the lamb skewers, Huo An didn't object to Liang He's suggestion; instead, he looked forward to it.

After preparing the lamb leg and mutton according to Liang He's instructions, Huo An began to act as the fire boy, controlling the temperature and size of the charcoal fire.

Liang He used the available seasonings to marinate the lamb leg, and while waiting for it to marinate, she also simmered the lamb soup.

Are all you Earthlings this good at cooking?

Watching the flickering charcoal fire illuminate the lamb leg with a golden glow, the air was already filled with the irresistible aroma of meat that made him want to keep swallowing.

"We all eat, but cooking still depends on talent."

The best diners are not necessarily the best chefs.

Huo An nodded knowingly, understanding that Liang He's rarity had increased once again!

"Alright, Brother Huo, could you taste it and see if it's salty enough?"

Liang He cut off a small piece of roasted lamb leg and handed it to Huo An.

He couldn't wait to enjoy the food, and without caring that it was too hot to eat, he immediately put it in his mouth.

The tender and juicy roasted lamb burst in his mouth, and his tongue savored the unique charred aroma of the lamb from the charcoal grill. In that instant, Huo An understood what true satisfaction meant.

“It’s so delicious!”

As Huo An involuntarily uttered a sigh, Liang He also began to enjoy her lunch. Meanwhile, the staff watching all this in the control room silently shed tears, grinding their teeth and criticizing Huo An for his dishonest act of eating alone.

Huo An felt a chill run down his spine, but was immediately drawn to the mutton soup that Liang He handed him. After taking a sip, he felt warm all over.

Just as he was about to have another bowl, a deafening roar echoed throughout the entire service area.

"Ouch!"
