Gentle, rational, and inwardly strong gong (Jiang Xu) vs. genius, madman, emotionally stunted shou (Gu Li).
Jiang Xu was reborn, and coincidentally, the person he was reborn as was also named...
The three of them got started, and the people at the next table had already returned, each holding a skewer. The two sides started at roughly the same time.
However, as Jiang Chen worked together with Jiang Xu and Gu Li, his gaze shifted from initial brilliance to worry, and then slowly turned into doubt and despair.
Can anyone tell him what those dark things in his two older brothers' hands are? Is it the meat he originally wanted?
The aroma wafted from the next table, and Jiang Chen looked over. The skewers on that table gleamed with a tempting sheen, and oil droplets occasionally flickered up in the flames, creating an alluring sight and color.
Some of the skewers were already grilled, and they were enjoying them while breathing in the fresh air. Jiang Chen admitted that he was actually a little envious.
He turned back to look at the grill in front of him. "Hey bro, why don't you two take a look at the grill at the next table?"
Jiang Xu glanced at it. "Yeah, I saw it. What's wrong?"
Gu Li was still figuring out what was going on when he picked up a skewer and said to Jiang Xu, "Why is the color a bit off? Did you bake it for too long or was the fire too high?"
Jiang Xu glanced at the things in Gu Li's hands. "It should be fine, right? We're still keeping track of the time, but it doesn't look very good."
Gu Li took out her phone and searched, "It seems like I need to flip it more often, I probably didn't flip it enough."
Jiang Chen: "Brother, I've been flipping through it the whole time, but it's still like this."
Gu Li held up the skewers and looked at Jiang Xu. "What should we do? The child is still growing. We can't just go hungry ourselves, we can't let the child go hungry."
Jiang Xu said, "Yes, kid, what should we do?" He looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you get to eat."
Jiang Chen said, "I'm touched, but we didn't survive on a desert island. Bro, don't go too far."
Hu Bai was talking to his subordinates when he noticed the terrible state Jiang Xu was in.
Jiang Xu and his team only grilled two skewers to practice, but that skewer was clearly in bad shape. Hu Bai said to his team members, "You guys eat and chat for a bit, wait a minute."
As she spoke, she walked towards Jiang Xu's table, asking, "What's going on here?"
Jiang Chen looked at the girl who was walking over, his face full of distress, "I need some help."
Gu Li looked at the black skewer in her hand. "It's a situation that will make people laugh."
Jiang Xu reached out and took the skewer from Gu Li's hand. "A disheartening situation." He moved the skewer a little further away. "Don't look at it anymore, just move on to the next one. I'll learn how to do it."
Gu Li looked at Jiang Xu and said, "I think we just said that."
Hu Bai chuckled softly as she looked at the three people's expressions, and their gazes immediately turned to her.
Jiang Chen looked at Hu Bai and said, "Keep your voice down, or you might get hurt."
Jiang Xu: "I thought you came after you finished laughing, but it turns out you weren't. You were hurt."
Gu Li: "Yes, I was hurt."
Hu Bai stopped laughing and pointed to their table, "I invited you to our table as a way of thanking you for the 50% discount."
Jiang Chen said, "How could I do that?"
Hu Bai said, "Don't be shy, let's just consider it a cross-departmental exchange, how about it, Minister Jiang?"
Jiang Xu looked at Gu Li, "What do you think?"
Gu Li glanced at Hu Bai, who smiled at him with a gentle and harmless smile. He looked at Jiang Xu and said, "It's up to you. I'm fine with anything."
Jiang Xu thought for a moment, "We'll go and learn a bit, but we won't keep bothering you. After all, your department might feel uncomfortable if we go there."
Hu Bai: "Alright, I'll study however I like."
The three of them went to take a look and received some generous gifts. They enjoyed the aroma of the grilled skewers and watched how others grilled them. Hu Bai grilled some more and handed it to his team members. When he was about to hand the rest to Jiang Xu and the others, Jiang Chen waved his hand and said, "We can't eat for free anymore, otherwise the 50% discount will be for nothing."
Jiang Xu nodded, "We still have quite a few left, so we're leaving."
Hu Bai nodded. "If it doesn't work, we can try again."
Gu Li waved her hand as she walked, "It will definitely work."
The three of them were indeed capable, and each subsequent skewer they made was more and more successful. As Jiang Chen tasted the skewers, he looked around and noticed that Hu Bai was taking pictures.
Jiang Chen called out, "Sis!" He waved to the people looking over, "Take a picture with us, so I can promote it again."
Jiang Xu, "What kind of publicity?"
Jiang Chen: "The boss and his friends are handsome and friendly, and you can enjoy free admission to all the tourist attractions."
Gu Li laughed, "You're really good at marketing. You deserve to make money."
Hu Bai smiled and replied, "Okay."
Her camera was pointed at herself, half of which showed her own group, with Jiang Xu and his group not far behind.
The photo captures the moment, the light from the wooden cabin casting a gentle, warm glow, a scene brimming with the vibrancy of youth.
Hu Bai gave an 'OK' sign to the person opposite her, then looked down at the photo, lost in thought.
In the photo, Jiang Chen smiles broadly at the camera; the young man is sunny and cheerful, his hair taking on a warm brown hue.
Jiang Xu and Gu Li were not far from him.
Jiang Xu looked at the camera with a faint smile on his lips and a warm light in his eyes. He leaned slightly towards Gu Li, his peripheral vision fixed on her.
Gu Liwei tilted his head slightly, not looking at the camera. He held a freshly grilled skewer in one hand, and you could see from the side that he was smiling broadly. The light shone on his profile and hair as he looked at Jiang Xu.
The atmosphere between the two of them was exceptionally harmonious. In front of the charcoal fire, Hu Bai inexplicably felt that the two of them were more like the charcoal fire itself, perhaps because of the warm yellow light, or perhaps because of the youthful vigor they exuded.
But in any case, the scene is beautiful.
Hu Bai gently clicked the save button; sometimes, even an unintentional photo can be quite wonderful.
There were quite a few cabins lined up, and some guests would stay overnight for various reasons. Jiang Chen looked at the nearly completed setup and said, "Brothers, why don't you two stay here today?"
Jiang Xu looked at Gu Li, "It's your decision, are you going back?"
Gu Li said, "I have something to do tomorrow and have to go back." After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Little brother, we can just come and stay next time. It might not be possible this time."
Jiang Chen nodded. "Understood, you're welcome anytime."
It was the same path we had taken. The moon hung clearly in the sky, with a few stars beside it, keeping it company.
Jiang Xu led the way, with Gu Li following behind him. "Do you remember the way?"
Jiang Xu, "So you're so comfortable letting me walk in front?"
Gu Li said, "I'm giving you a chance to practice, otherwise what if you get lost?"
Jiang Xu: "You're quite the worrywart."
Gu Li glanced in the direction. "It seems there are no problems."
Jiang Xu: "It's not serious, just a little bit."
Gu Li smiled and said, "That's good. I'm not worried about you not finding your way home."
Jiang Xu: "Because all roads lead to Rome."
Gu Li responded and looked up at the sky. He followed Jiang Xu closely, but because he was looking at the sky, he didn't notice that the person in front of him suddenly stopped.
Gu Li accidentally pressed herself against Jiang Xu's back, their two warm bodies leaning against each other in the fields on a summer evening.
