"Ouch, it's so hot..."
The meat juices burst in her mouth, scalding her so much that she gasped for breath. Her delicate white hands kept fanning her mouth, but she couldn't bear to spit out the meat.
Lu Baizhou watched with amusement, his eyes full of doting affection. He quickly reached out and patted her back, saying, "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you, it's all yours."
"Mmm...it's so delicious! Eating this outdoors feels even more satisfying than eating it in a restaurant!" Qiao Xinxin mumbled indistinctly, her little face covered with a little bit of black charcoal ash, making her look like a little kitten, which was incredibly cute.
The two sat around the grill, grilling and eating, and soon a small stack of bamboo skewers piled up on the ground.
Just as Qiao Xinxin was enjoying her meal, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that a young couple was also having a barbecue not far away.
The woman was wearing a rather fashionable floral shirt, while the man was wearing a white tank top. The man, with a fawning expression, offered the woman a skewer of freshly grilled meat, but she repeatedly waved his hands and backed away.
"I can't eat anymore! I've been eating rice every day lately, and my waist has gotten so thick. If I eat this greasy grilled meat, I won't be able to fit into my clothes anymore, I'll look awful!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xinxin paused slightly as she was putting a meat skewer into her mouth.
She subconsciously glanced down at the skewer of fatty and lean pork belly in her hand, then touched her flat, fat-free stomach, and hesitated for a second.
But then, she smiled with relief.
What's there to be afraid of? She has a spatial spring!
That spiritual spring water not only strengthens the body and beautifies the skin, but also perfectly maintains one's figure. She drinks the spiritual spring water like water every day, and her skin is as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg. Her figure is always kept in the most balanced and perfect state. Let alone eating these few skewers of grilled meat, even if she eats a lot of meat and drinks excessively every day, she will still have a curvy figure and a slender waist. It is impossible for her to gain weight!
Thinking of this, Qiao Xinxin's little bit of inner turmoil instantly vanished.
She picked up a skewer of sizzling, fragrant pork liver without a care in the world, opened her mouth wide without any hesitation, and took a big, vicious bite. Her almond-shaped eyes narrowed into crescent moons with satisfaction.
As darkness gradually fell, the last rays of sunset melted into the night.
Qiao Xinxin finished the last kernel of roasted corn, then rubbed her slightly round belly and clapped her hands contentedly: "Wow, I'm so full! This meal was absolutely amazing!"
Seeing that she had finished eating, Lu Baizhou silently stood up.
He first carefully gathered the bamboo skewers and used oil paper scattered in front of Qiao Xinxin and threw them into the nearby trash heap. Then, he walked to the side, scooped up a few handfuls of dry soil, and deftly covered the remaining charcoal embers under the grill. He then stomped on the soil with his large feet in military leather shoes until he was sure that not a single spark remained before he stopped.
"Let's go, let's return the grill." Lu Baizhou patted the dust off his hands, bent down, and picked up the metal grill.
Qiao Xinxin carried a small basket of seasonings, and the two walked side by side toward the group of young people's tricycle.
The young man in overalls was squatting by the truck smoking a pipe. Seeing them return with the goods, he quickly stubbed out his cigarette and came over. He carefully checked the grill and metal plates, making sure nothing was damaged, before grinning broadly.
"Alright, everything's ready! How is it, miss? Pretty good, right? Come again next time you want to play!"
"Okay, thank you, comrade, goodbye!" Qiao Xinxin waved her little hand sweetly at him.
As night fell completely, a cool night breeze blew across the fields in the eastern suburbs, carrying a hint of early spring chill as it brushed against my face.
Qiao Xinxin couldn't help but shrink her neck.
The next second, a light gray coat, warmed by her body temperature and carrying a faint scent of soap, was gently draped over her shoulders.
Qiao Xinxin was taken aback and turned her head.
Lu Baizhou was standing beside her, wearing only a thin, close-fitting vest, his deep eyes shining brightly in the night.
"It's windy, don't catch a cold." His voice was a little deep, but it carried a reassuring power.
Qiao Xinxin felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She gripped the collar of her coat tightly with her little hands and buried half of her pretty face in the warm clothes.
"Thank you, Brother Lu."
The night was already deep, and the streetlights cast a dim yellow light, making the two people's shadows extremely long.
Qiao Xinxin was wearing Lu Baizhou's dark gray coat, still warm from his body heat, and the air was filled with the pleasant scent of clean soap. She shrank her neck, hiding her chin in the collar, her heart pounding like a rabbit.
The two of them barely spoke along the way, but the sticky, ambiguous feeling between them couldn't be dispelled in the darkness of the night.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the main gate of the family compound.
The two dark iron gates stood silently in the night, with a few scattered lights shining from inside.
Qiao Xinxin stopped and turned around, preparing to take off her coat and return it to Lu Baizhou, and say goodbye to him:
"Brother Lu, thank you for spending time with me today..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Xinxin suddenly felt a tall shadow loom in front of her.
Lu Baizhou took a big step forward, closing in on her. His broad shoulders almost completely blocked the light from the streetlamp, startling Qiao Xinxin so much that she instinctively held her breath.
Before she could react, Lu Baizhou suddenly raised his hands and firmly pressed down on her shoulders.
His palms were very hot; you could feel the burning heat even through his clothes.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Baizhou leaned down slightly, and his handsome and resolute face instantly magnified in front of Qiao Xinxin.
"Smack."
A warm, extremely quick kiss landed firmly on her forehead.
In that instant, Qiao Xinxin was completely stunned, her mind went blank.
She could even smell the faint scent of his sweat and pine wood, but before she could savor it, the warm touch on her forehead disappeared.
While she was still in a daze, Lu Baizhou quickly straightened up, turned around and strode towards the camp without even saying goodbye.
He ran incredibly fast, his military boots clattering rapidly and dully on the cobblestones. His flustered appearance was a far cry from his usual composed and aloof military bearing; he looked like a naive young man caught doing something wrong!
Qiao Xinxin stood there, tightly covering her forehead where she had just been kissed with the back of her hand. She was like a stone statue, and it took her more than ten seconds to come back to her senses.
Watching the figure running further and further away into the night, even staggering a little, Qiao Xinxin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
