Chapter 13 "I'll help you!"
Yan Jinnian handed her the bag.
She took it and asked in surprise, "Is it really 39.9 yuan?"
The bag feels soft to the touch, and the quality is quite good!
Yan Jinnian: "It's downstairs, I can take you to see it."
Seeing that what he said made sense, Anmi no longer doubted him.
Yan Jinnian: "Should I help you throw away the old one?"
Anmi shook her head, rolled up the old tattered bag into a ball, and stuffed it into the new bag.
"I'll just take it home and leave it there," she said.
She bought this bag during her sophomore year of college.
I followed her for three whole years.
Anmi really couldn't bear to just throw it into the trash can.
Over time, even inanimate objects can develop a kind of emotional attachment.
Back at the barbecue restaurant, it was just the time for them to get a table.
The staff led them inside. The barbecue restaurant was quite crowded, with people sitting at every small table.
The two were led to a spot against the wall to sit down.
The staff came over to change the baking tray: "Would you like to order, two people?"
"Ugly Group Coupon." Anmi took out her phone to scan the code for her.
After scanning the QR code, dishes started to arrive one after another.
There were plenty of meat and vegetables, arranged in a full circle around the table.
Anmi picked up the tongs, ready to put the meat on them to grill.
Yan Jinnian took the clip from her hand: "I'll do it."
He picked up the beef ribs from the side and placed them one by one on the steaming grill pan.
Sizzle, sizzle—the meat begins to release its oil as it touches the hot baking pan.
Anmi's eyes sparkled as she stared at the meat on the grill, her mouth watering uncontrollably.
The lighting in this barbecue restaurant is warm yellow, and the overall atmosphere is rather dim.
The surrounding decor imitates the style of a Korean barbecue restaurant.
The barbecue restaurant selfies that are popular on the internet now are taken under these kinds of lighting and conditions.
It must be said that the aesthetic sense of my online friends and family is quite good.
Anmi's gaze slowly moved upwards from the baking pan. From her angle, the man's facial features were perfectly flawless under the light.
With looks like that, what worries could she possibly have?
To make grilling easier, Yan Jinnian rolled up his sleeves above his elbows, exposing his entire forearm to the light.
The heat from the charcoal gave his arm a pale pink hue.
The veins below were bulging menacingly, his sexual tension at its peak.
Anmi finally got to see a muscular man up close in real life, a man she had only ever seen in novels before.
She made a silent decision in her heart.
I must let my two best friends have a good look too!
Anmi quietly watched the handsome guy grilling meat for a while, when a comment under a recommendation post suddenly flashed through her mind.
[Sisters, does anyone understand? I ate barbecue with Crush, and he took care of grilling the whole time while I ate. As a result, he blocked me when I got back and called me a giant baby.]
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly picked up another pair of tongs from the plate: "Let me help you!"
Anmi placed the mushrooms along the edge of the baking pan.
One after another, plump, white mushrooms were placed on top.
"Eat some vegetables for a balanced diet."
Yan Jinnian watched her movements and said, "Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll grill it."
"It's okay, I'm also very good at grilling meat."
Anmi confidently held up the clips: "Small mushrooms? No problem!"
Just then, the shop assistant came over to check the charcoal fire.
"Hello ma'am, please turn the button mushrooms upside down and bake them for one minute first."
She naturally took the clips from Anmi's hand and turned over the mushrooms that Anmi had just arranged one by one.
". ."
Very well, another wasted effort.
"Madam, remember to flip it over in one minute."
After giving the instructions, the staff member went to another table.
Anmi was staring intently at her phone to check the time when she suddenly heard a very soft laugh.
She looked up in surprise.
Yan Jinnian was looking at her with a deep gaze.
"What's wrong?" Anmi's first reaction was that she had some new funny story to tell.
Yan Jinnian smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I just think you're kind of cute."
cute?
Anmi thought he was referring to the mushrooms.
"This is indeed my first time baking this; I didn't know I had to invert it first..."
"No," Yan Jinnian interrupted her quietly, "I meant the way you look when you're staring at your phone timing is adorable."
( )
The surrounding noise was chaotic, with diners chatting and laughing.
Anmi's cheeks twitched, and her ears quickly burned as well.
"Uh..." She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Why does this man always say something so inexplicably embarrassing?
After he finished speaking, he nonchalantly started cutting the meat with scissors again.
The glistening, oily beef ribs were placed on Anmi's plate.
"Eat."
Aren't you going to eat?
He took all the grilled meat and put it all in his own pocket.
"You eat first." Yan Jinnian used tongs to flip the mushrooms.
"I'll bake it again."
After turning over the mushrooms, he placed a piece of meat on the baking tray.
Anmi felt a little guilty.
Isn't this just treating people like waiters?
The meat under my nose smells delicious.
She put on disposable gloves, wrapped a piece of beef rib in lettuce, and handed it to Yan Jinnian: "Here you go!"
Yan Jinnian paused in his barbecue.
He didn't look at the wrapped meat, but instead looked into Anmi's eyes first.
Adam's apple bobbed: "For me?"
Anmi nodded: "Yes! Here you go!"
Yan Jinnian did not answer.
Anmi wondered, "Does he dislike the way I made it?"
Her arm had been held up for so long that it was starting to ache.
The next second, the man stood up from the stool, opened his mouth, and swallowed the vegetable bun in one gulp from her hand.
Awoo~
Anmi: ?
My heart skipped a beat.
The disposable gloves were very thin, and she could clearly feel Yan Jinnian's lips lightly brushing against her fingertips.
It's warm and very soft.
Anmi subconsciously looked around.
Nobody cared.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief, and like a thief, picked up her iced drink and took a sip, her actions quite deliberate.
Yan Jinnian sat back down on the stool.
The lettuce wrap was a bit too big, making it difficult for him to chew.
[Chewing...chewing...]
A bulging bump appeared on her cheek, creating a somewhat endearing contrast.
Seeing that he didn't seem to care about the little incident just now, Anmi felt embarrassed again.
Was my reaction just now a bit too sensitive?
[Chew chew chew...chew chew chew...]
Why worry about these inevitable minor bumps and scrapes?
Just keep a normal mindset.
[Chew chew chew...chew chew chew...]
Besides, no one else seemed embarrassed, so why was she feeling so awkward?
It would only make it seem like I had something to hide.
[Chew chew chew...chew chew chew...]
“…” Anmi silently looked up at him.
Is it hard to swallow?
Her skill in wrapping meat has been certified by both Tang Cai and Wan Qiu.
Yan Jinnian paused, and the small bump on his face stopped twitching.
"Excuse me..." He glanced at the plate in front of Anmi, his brows furrowing slightly.
"This meat doesn't seem to be cooked."
