On the way to becoming the strongest, I first became a popular person.

When Ji Li came back, he saw that the atmosphere between the two seemed a little subtle. Ling Mu was sitting on one side, daydreaming, not knowing what he was thinking about, while Shi Chu was over there picking at the skewers of meat he had grilled, occasionally sipping a drink, and enjoying the meal very much.

He showed a satisfied smile, gently shook off the remaining water droplets on his hands, and sat down close to Shi Chu, neither too far nor too close, keeping the distance just right so that people would not feel overly intimate but vaguely familiar.

"Senior, do you like today's food? I tried to bake it using the new method I learned on Star Internet. I wonder if you like it." He smiled, his face revealing a hint of anticipation and a hint of uneasiness. His eyes looked straight at Shi Chu, and his cheeks were slightly flushed.

"It's good, I like it." Shi Chu swallowed the skewer of meat in her mouth and replied without raising her head. She suddenly thought of something, raised her head and gave Ji Li a faint smile and gave him a thumbs up.

Give the cook some positive feedback, and he will work harder in the future.

"As long as you like it." Ji Li's pupils shrank, and his body suddenly tensed up. He covered his mouth with a fist and picked up a large bunch of barbecue from the plate on the ground with his left hand and started to bite it. He seemed to be concentrating on eating, but his eyes occasionally swept across Shi Chu's red lips that were stained with some barbecue sauce. Then, the movement of biting the barbecue became more fierce, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he swallowed the barbecue suddenly.

If I like the barbecue he makes, does that mean I like him?

She just said with her own mouth that she liked him and even praised herself, so she must still like him a little. His eyes moved across Shi Chu's face implicitly, and finally landed on her sparkling lips.

I really want to... No, I can't think about it. It seems that the pheromones are out of control. He took a deep breath, suppressed the impulse and desire in his heart, and looked away.

"Tsk, it's just so-so." Ling Mu picked up a skewer of barbecue and took a bite. He curled his lips in disdain and made a malicious comment. Then he showed a bright and flattering smile to Shi Chu and said attentively, "Senior sister, I will make you something better next time."

Ji Li's eyes darkened instantly. This bastard always dragged him down. What if he ruined his image in front of her? He really wanted to press him headfirst into the ground and bury him. His fist hardened again.

No, the senior doesn't like them fighting, so he has to hold back. Whoever starts first loses. He said in a mocking tone: "If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it!"

"No, this is food provided by Senior Sister, I won't give it to you." Ling Mu rolled his eyes, grabbed a handful of barbecue and put it on his plate, saying provocatively, "Senior Sister is the one who provided the food, why are you, a cook, so arrogant? You have no right to stop me from eating."

"Haha, you too." Ji Li forked a piece of fruit and put it into his mouth, saying unwillingly.

"Get lost! I cut that for my senior sister. Why are you eating it?"

"The senior sister didn't say anything, why are you, a cook, yelling?"

Shi Chu swallowed the meat in his mouth and sighed in his heart. These two people would be like this whenever they got together. It would make the sky seem like it was going to fall. If they were not stopped, they would start fighting in the next second. It was exhausting.

She took a plate of fruit and a plate of barbecue, handed them to Ji Li and Ling Mu respectively, warned them with her eyes, and said with some impatience and anger in her tone: "Behave yourself and eat well. If you keep making noise, you will have to drink nutritional supplements later!"

"Hmph!" The two men looked at each other, turned their heads and said to Shi Chu.

"Senior is right. I won't bother with a bastard like you."

"Since Senior Sister has spoken, I will let you have a taste of my cooking skills."

The two men reached out to take the plates, each with their own little thoughts, and their fingers brushed across her hand lightly as if inadvertently. Both sides noticed the other's secret behavior, and they glared at each other fiercely, with some surprise in their eyes, but more of anger. The atmosphere that had just been eased instantly became tense again.

The two people's eyes met fiercely in the air, and for a moment, the situation was tense.

"Okay, let's eat. I'll kick out anyone who makes noise." Shi Chu withdrew his hand without noticing, clapped his hands, and signaled them to stop making noise.

If she continued to quarrel, she would probably be kicked out. She absolutely could not let this shameless and despicable guy stay alone with her. The two thought to themselves at the same time, then silently turned their eyes away and started eating, maintaining a strange tacit understanding. No one exposed the other, but it was unknown what they were thinking in their hearts.

The two of them controlled their emotions and chatted with Shi Chu in a casual manner. Shi Chu would occasionally reply to them.

In the afternoon sunshine, the three of them were eating dinner, chatting and laughing. The sunlight shone on them, giving them a layer of gold, like a beautiful picture of incomparable harmony.

This was the scene Luo Yanchuan saw when he rushed over exhausted. There was an extremely familiar and harmonious atmosphere between the three people, which made him feel like an uninvited guest who suddenly broke into their world, destroyed this beautiful atmosphere, and was out of tune with them.

This is not what he thought.

Before he arrived, he always thought that she must be in dire straits. He even thought of the lines for when he would appear as a hero to save her, ready to leave her with a good and deep impression of him.

Didn't the old calendar say that a hero saved a beautiful girl, and could not repay her, so he pledged his love to her? Although he was not the kind of superficial person who would repay a favor, it would not be impossible if it was her.

But the scene before him was indeed a bit beyond his expectations. The other party's situation was completely different from what he had imagined before.

It was said that the weak and pitiful beta would wait for the strong and handsome alpha to rescue him, and then they would fall in love at first sight and become partners. The stories on the Starnet were indeed all lies.

The current situation is completely different from what is said in the story!
