Zhuang Xiao looked at Zhou Shi who turned back quickly, and glanced at Zhang Jinle who was foaming at the mouth and making faces, "Don't be so narcissistic, he just means well."

Zhang Jinle raised his eyebrows and muttered vaguely, "It's not that I'm narcissistic, it's that you don't have an accurate judgment of yourself. Just forget about that blind man..."

In the past few days, Zhang Jinle has been watching how no news about Zhuang Xiao has come to her. Although the man who chatted with her was generous, he treated Zhuang Xiao as if he came and went at will. No matter how you look at it, they are not a good match.

When Zhuang Xiao saw Zhou coming into view, he hushed softly, interrupting Zhang Jinle's mumbling.

There is no doubt that Zhou Shi is also very handsome, but compared with Tu Yan, his handsomeness is not aggressive at all, and he is not eye-catching at first glance. He is very friendly, and being with him always makes people feel like spring breeze.

What's more, Zhou Shi was holding two sticks of fragrant toasted bread in his hands, which were smeared with oil, sprinkled with cumin and chili, and were roasted hot and fragrant.

Zhang Jinle, who was just giving advice on Zhuang Xiao's relationship, was immediately dazzled by the delicious food. He quickly spat out the toothpaste foam in his mouth and rinsed his mouth hastily, "Wow! Class monitor, you are my god!"

Zhou Shi handed over two sticks of bread separately, and wrapped the bottom of the wooden stick with a tissue, "How about trying it?"

Zhuang Xiao smiled and thanked him. It was so delicious to eat such a bite in the wilderness. The two of them praised it repeatedly, "It's delicious!"

Zhou Shi's smile deepened, "There are other things. You can come and grill them together after you wash up."

Without waiting for Zhuang Xiao to speak, Zhang Jinle agreed immediately, and then said to Zhuang Xiao very quickly: "I haven't applied the lotion yet, go first and help me grill a skewer, I want to add more chili powder!"

As Zhang Jinle spoke, he winked at Zhuang Xiao ambiguously, and before Zhuang Xiao could react, he pushed her on the back.

Zhuang Xiao was pushed to Zhou Shi's side. He glanced at Zhang Jinle and was worried that Zhou Shi might notice something, so he followed him towards the fire as he was told.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shi, who looks artistic and otherworldly, is extremely skilled at grilling.

Some cooked ingredients were already placed next to the simple barbecue grill. Although Zhuang Xiao had no time to cook carefully, she was not unfamiliar with it. Zhou Shi only demonstrated and explained it two or three times, and she got the hang of it.

It must be said that Chinese cooking is more interesting, at least more interesting than fried sandwiches.

After a short while, Zhuang Xiao was completely immersed in it, forgetting about the cell phone signal and contacting Tu Yan.

One person peels and slices the meat, while another person threads the meat, applies seasonings, and grills it... It's so fresh and interesting.

Zhuang Xiao smelled the delicious barbecue and looked at the lush green mountains, and sighed in his heart that this was life.

He was distracted for a moment and forgot to turn the bread over. When Zhou Shi reminded him, Zhuang Xiao realized that the bread had already started to smell burnt, so he immediately turned the wooden stick.

Maybe the hole for the skewer was loose and it couldn't turn around.

In a hurry, Zhuang Xiao reached out and flipped it without thinking, successfully turning it over, but she also cried out in pain from the burn.

Zhou Shi's face turned pale, and he immediately dropped what he was holding. Without thinking, he grabbed Zhuang Xiao's hand to check the situation, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Zhuang Xiao felt a severe pain at that moment, but after it subsided, a burning sensation came over him, which was not unbearable.

At this moment, a voice came from not far away, "I came at the wrong time."

The voice was neither high nor low, and a little deep, a very familiar voice.

What is more familiar is the biting chill in the voice, as if it were wrapped in icicles and carrying a deep sense of unhappiness.

Zhuang Xiao turned around immediately and was stunned. It was Tu Yan!

What shocked Zhuang Xiao more than Tu Yan's appearance here was Tu Yan's appearance at this moment.

It was still the familiar black suit, but the elegance and elite aura were gone, replaced by embarrassment and chaos.

The precious heavy satin suit was scratched by the thorn branches along the road, with faint traces of mud visible, and it was so dirty that its original color could hardly be recognized.

The collar of his shirt, which was usually buttoned to the last button, had come undone, and the button was nowhere to be found. The spotless white color was also wet with sweat.

The upper body is like this, not to mention the pants and shoes. The trouser legs are no longer visible, and the shiny black leather shoes have been covered with black and yellow mud, making them slippery when walking...

"Boss Tu!" Zhuang Xiao murmured, "Why are you here?"

Zhuang Xiao looked at Tu Yan who was in such a mess, and after a brief moment of confusion, she quickly reacted. There was no doubt that he came to find her. Did he... think that something had happened to him?

While he was stunned, Tu Yan had already walked closer with some difficulty, and the anger and depression in his chest were almost reaching its peak.

"I shouldn't have come here. I just made people dislike me for no reason." Tu Yan raised the corners of his mouth in a cold arc, and his words were full of sarcasm.

God knows, he traveled day and night, taking both cars and motorcycles along the way, and finally had to walk into the mountains. He climbed up with full of worries, and at the end, he even began to blame himself for ignoring her. He comforted himself in his heart that he had known she was unreliable, so how could he be serious with her.

He has been traveling all this way with a heavy heart, but what is waiting for him?

The other person was leisurely having a barbecue and picnic in the wild mountains. Not only that, there was a youthful, gentle and considerate boy by her side.

When he saw the two people holding hands and staring at each other from afar, Tu Yan clearly felt a sudden pain in his heart, and his whole heart seemed to be clenched.

The dull pain overwhelmed his rationality, and he spoke from a distance, and even he could not ignore the sarcasm in his words.

However, the surging negative emotions receded uncontrollably like the tide when he saw the red burn marks on Zhuang Xiao's fingertips.

Tu Yan frowned, "What happened?"

Without waiting for Zhuang Xiao to answer, Tu Yan naturally pulled her hand over and shouted to the back without even turning his head, "Bring some water."

Assistant Liu, who was already exhausted and only had half a breath left, ran over panting and handed over a bottle of mineral water, "Tu... Mr. Tu... what you wanted..."

Tu Yan took it. The water was still cold. He unscrewed the bottle cap with one hand, and a stream of cool water poured down, taking away the burning pain on Zhuang Xiao's skin.

Zhuang Xiao sighed softly and turned to look at Zhou Shi first, "Captain, I'm fine, I'll be fine after a while. Let's take the food off the fire quickly, otherwise it will burn."

After Zhuang Xiao's reminder, Zhou Shi remembered that the food was still on the fire, and hurriedly took the plate and put it away.

After confirming that the food was fine, Zhuang Xiao's gaze fell back on Tu Yan. Seeing his frown, he whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Tu."

Tu Yan said nothing, as if he didn't hear anything.

The air fell into silence again. What broke the condensation was Zhang Jinle's noisy voice, which came from far away. "Oh my god, which idiot wore a suit to climb a mountain and looked like a mud monkey!?"
