Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 2651
Chapter 2651: Bossing Around
“Here you are. ” Xie Yutang responded by slicing and wrapping a piece of roasted meat in leaves before handing it to him.
Guo Xinning accepted it with a smile, thanked, and sat down next to their small fire. Instead of picking up and chewing the entire piece, he pulled out a knife and chopped off a little portion to eat. Seeing his graceful and refined manner, Xie Yutang reddened in embarrassment.
How could he eat with such grace and elegance? It was as if he were not enjoying a picnic in the mountains, but rather eating dinner at home. Each and every one of his graceful movements made him blush with embarrassment.
In any case, he came from the Xie family, and while he was a collateral side and his family was not lacking in anything, the difference in standing could be seen now.
“It smells so appetizing.” Guo Xinning said, smiling. “It’s rare to eat such delicious food out here.”
“It was roasted by Feng Jiu. He’s an expert at roasting meat.” Xie Yutang answered, looking at Feng Jiu who was eating the barbecue.
Guo Xinning looked at the young man sitting and eating barbecue with surprise. Feng Jiu was engrossed in her food, not even looking up to recognise him. His thoughts moved slightly and he said, “Feng Jiu, the meat you roast is very fragrant. Have you added any seasonings?”
He wanted to talk to this young man for some unknown reason.
Feng Jiu gave him a sidelong glance, chewed the meat, and replied, “Mm hmm.”
Guo Xinning saw this with his eyes flickered.Seeing the young man’s bulging cheek move with the chewing, like a lovely little squirrel, made him feel like watching a novelty.
How did this young man give him the feeling that he was cute? Clearly, the young man’s appearance was unremarkable, yet it caught his attention.
Even if he had a good appetite, Feng Jiu couldn’t eat while being stared at like this. She ate the barbecue in two or three gulps, wiped her mouth, and stood up, “I’m done eating. Take your time.”
Seeing that she was about to leave, Xie Yutang inquired hurriedly, “Where are you going? Don’t run around at such a late night.”
“I’m not running around. I’m going to have a rest in the tree.” She pointed to the big tree behind them. With this response, she leapt up.
Guo Xinning observed her gracefully jump the tree and find a place to rest atop it. He couldn’t help but smile as he remarked, “He seemed extremely carefree.”
“Carefree?” Xie Yutang was astonished and then smiled. “How can he be so carefree? I think he’s a simpleton. He is unconcerned about danger.”
…
When Xie Shisi noticed Guo Xinning’s gaze was drawn to Feng Jiu, she couldn’t help but bow her head and look at herself. She was not particularly ugly either! But how come Brother Guo never looked at her? Why did he not pay her even a little attention?
When Guo Xinjie, who overheard their conversation, learned that the barbecue they ate was roasted by Feng Jiu, he came, stood beneath the tree, and looked up at the sleeping young man on the tree. “Feng Jiu, since you know how to roast meat, please help us roast some!”
When he heard this, Xie Yutang frowned slightly but said nothing. They were following the Guo family team and had the obligation to protect each other. To be honest, he didn’t know how to say no if they asked them to help with the barbecue.
Guo Xinning got to his feet and said, “I think your meat is nearly done roasting. Why do you need his help?”
“It’s almost done, but I just heard you say that Feng Jiu has a spice that can make the barbecue tastier, so isn’t it fine to call him for help?”
