Chapter 32
On the way back, Lu Zilin was responsible for driving. It happened to be rush hour, so it took longer than expected to get back to the villa.
In the living room of the villa, only Zhang Yang and Jiang Nanyu were chatting, and Zheng Wei and Zhou Jingyu were nowhere to be seen.
Yin Mu looked around and asked, "Where's Zheng Wei?"
Jiang Nanyu said, "We just prepared the ingredients for the barbecue. They both went back to their rooms to wash their faces and haven't come down yet."
"Oh, I see."
Zhang Yang continued, "Now that everyone is here, let's eat. We're all hungry, and I'm sure you're hungry too."
"Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way, so we were delayed." Lu Zilin apologized with a smile, "Then let's take the dishes to the garden first. - Yin Mu, Meng Yuan, can you go upstairs and call Zheng Wei and Zhou Jingyu?"
"OK."
Yin Mu and Zhong Mengyuan reached the third floor and knocked gently on Zheng Wei's door. Zheng Wei's listless voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
"I, Yin Mu."
After a moment of silence, the door opened and Zheng Wei's face appeared behind the door: "Mumu, Mengyuan, you're back."
Yin Mu saw that she looked unhappy and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No."
"Really?" Yin Mu looked towards Zhou Jingyu's room and asked in a low voice, "Did you have a fight with them?"
"No, I'm just really annoyed." Zheng Wei said listlessly, "It's bad enough staying in the villa to prepare dinner, but I have to listen to Zhou Jingyu and those two chatting and laughing while I work. I can't even quit. It's so annoying."
Yin Mu said sympathetically, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Oh, it's not hard work, it's a hard life."
Yin Mu patted her head and comforted her: "Okay, we are back now, right? Let's go downstairs and have some barbecue."
Zheng Wei pursed her lips: "Got it, I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back."
"Then let's go call Zhou Jingyu first."
"Yeah, okay."
After the four people went downstairs, they saw that Chen Qinglin and others had already brought all the ingredients to the garden. They were fussing with the barbecue grill and putting the processed meat slices on it.
The sun set and the sky darkened. Yin Mu turned on the lights in the garden. The light was also warm yellow, adding a hazy and lazy atmosphere.
The evening breeze brings a hint of coolness, which makes people relax both physically and mentally. It can be said to be the best time of the day.
Everyone sat around the table, drinking beer and chatting comfortably, while Chen Qinglin took the initiative to guard the barbecue grill to prevent the meat from getting burnt.
Yin Mu ate little at noon and had been a special forces soldier in the amusement park for half a day, so he didn't feel anything at first. But as soon as he smelled the aroma of meat, the feeling of hunger began to surge up, and his stomach felt empty and uncomfortable.
She took two cans of beer and went to find Chen Qinglin. She sniffed at the sizzling pork belly and said, "It smells so good! How long will it take for it to be cooked?"
Chen Qinglin was turning the meat with a pair of tongs. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and met her bright eyes. He was speechless for a moment.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yin Mu gave him one of the cans of beer and tilted his head in confusion: "Huh?"
"It will be ready soon." Chen Qinglin calmed himself down, took the beer and put it aside, saying, "Are you hungry? There are small steamed buns with cream, you can eat them without baking."
Yin Mu shook his head without hesitation: "No, I want to wait for meat."
Chen Qinglin smiled and said, "Then hold on for a few more minutes, or go eat some snacks first. - Don't drink the beer yet, be careful of stomachache."
"Okay." Yin Mu nodded, but he couldn't move his feet away from the pork belly, waiting for it to be cooked.
[This meat looks so delicious, slurp slurp.]
[When I have money, I will definitely buy a phone that can smell! ]
[Help me, I'm trying to lose weight. Who can understand my pain? ]
So much meat! The production crew really doesn't skimp on food.
【Yin Mu's expression is very realistic to me.】
…
Chen Qinglin found it funny and asked Yin Mu, "Are you that hungry?"
"I wasn't hungry at first, but I got hungry when I saw the meat." Yin Mu said, "Playing with Meng Yuan and the others was too tiring. I shouldn't have agreed to go to the amusement park with them. It would be nice to find a quiet and cool place to sit and drink tea and chat."
Chen Qinglin thought for a moment and said, "My friend recommended a teahouse to me before. He said the environment is very quiet. We can go there next time."
Seeing that he was really thinking about it, Yin Mu couldn't help but tease him, "How do you know we can still be together next time? Maybe next time you will leave me and go on a date with another girl."
Chen Qinglin immediately said: "No."
Yin Mu asked, "Why not? You didn't make the rules."
Chen Qinglin was speechless. He lowered his eyes, picked up a few slices of cooked pork belly, placed them on a plate and handed it to Yin Mu: "It's ready to eat. There are seasonings over there. Just sprinkle them according to your taste."
Seeing that he changed the subject, Yin Mu felt embarrassed and did not ask any more questions. He took the plate, thanked him and turned to leave.
Chen Qinglin called out to her, "Yin Mu."
Yin Mu stopped and asked, "Hmm?"
Chen Qinglin hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind. He asked, "Can you choose me again next time?"
Yin Mu was stunned: "Huh?"
Chen Qinglin whispered, "I know we've only known each other for a few days, and it's presumptuous of me to say this now. But I really enjoy being with you. You have a special feeling that makes people relax, so..."
Yin Mu opened his mouth, his mind in a mess. Before he could say anything, Zhong Mengyuan came over: "Is the meat cooked? Why do I faintly smell burnt?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qinglin lowered his head and covered up the situation by turning the meat over: "It's cooked. Bring a plate over and serve."
【Ahhh, Zhong Mengyuan, what are you doing! 】
[Someone, get Zhong Mengyuan out of here!]
[Oh my god, is this a straight ball? Love it.]
【What’s the difference between this and confession! 】
[Yin Mu has high attack and low defense. He was just teasing Chen Qinglin, but now he's dumbfounded.]
…
Yin Mu and Zhong Mengyuan brought two plates of meat to the table. Seeing that the meat was cooked, everyone stood up one after another, some helping and some picking up the meat, making the scene more lively.
Yin Mu sat next to Zhong Mengyuan and listened to her chatting with Lu Zilin. However, because his mind was in a mess, he didn't hear anything at all.
At this time, Chen Qinglin came over with the can of beer that Yin Mu gave him and sat down opposite them.
He was probably also feeling uncomfortable about what had just happened. He didn't look at Yin Mu. He held the beer and took two sips. His Adam's apple rolled up and down as he swallowed. It was very...sexy?
Yin Mu was shocked by his own thoughts. He looked away guiltily and stuffed meat into his mouth mechanically.
Zhong Mengyuan was just listening to Lu Zilin finish telling a funny story about his time as an athlete. She was laughing so hard that she fell backwards. Turning her head, she saw Yin Mu eating so dully that she couldn't help but frown. She raised her hand and waved it vigorously in front of her eyes: "Rabbit?"
"Ah?" Yin Mu looked at her blankly, "What's wrong?"
Zhong Mengyuan rolled her eyes: "I was just about to ask you, what are you daydreaming about? You look so absent-minded."
Yin Mu caught a glimpse of Chen Qinglin looking at him, and immediately lowered his head, poking the plate with his chopsticks, and said prevarication: "Nothing."
"You're lying." Zhong Mengyuan touched his chin and fell into thought, trying to draw conclusions from her abnormal behavior.
He was fine when he first went downstairs, and he was fine when he was drinking. He went to give Chen Qinglin a can of beer, and when he came back he was like a different person. It was obvious that the problem was with Chen Qinglin.
Could it be that he said something to Yin Mu that he shouldn't have said, making Yin Mu unhappy?
When Zhong Mengyuan thought of this, he pointed his sharp eyes at Chen Qinglin, and their gazes met.
Chen Qinglin was stunned for a moment, then turned his head away as if nothing had happened.
Zhong Mengyuan narrowed her eyes suspiciously and secretly concluded that there was a problem, definitely a problem, and she must find an opportunity to ask Chen Qinglin about it.
Everyone drank alcohol and their spirits became high under the influence of alcohol.
Zhou Jingyu held a beer in one hand and propped up her chin with the other. She asked Jiang Nanyu in a drunken state, "Didn't you say you'd play and sing for me the other day? Is that still the case?"
Jiang Nanyu immediately stood up and said, "Of course it counts. I'll go back to my room to get my guitar."
Zheng Wei, also drunk, clapped and cheered, "Oh—there are free performances to watch. A warm welcome!"
Yin Mu pressed her hand: "It hasn't started yet, just be quiet first."
Jiang Nanyu quickly returned with his guitar. He pulled out his chair, held the guitar, and asked, "What should we sing? Can anyone give me some suggestions?"
Lu Zilin said politely, "I don't have much artistic talent, and I don't understand these things. Just sing the songs you are good at."
Zheng Wei smiled and continued, "Exactly. Unless you're seriously off-key, we won't be able to hear you anyway."
Clearly taking advantage of the alcohol, she openly questioned someone's professional ability. Yin Mu quickly covered her mouth: "Just keep your mouth shut."
[Hahahaha, is this the legendary truth spoken after drinking? ]
[It was obvious that they were all drunk.]
【Yin Mu was sweating profusely.】
[Zheng Wei must be really drunk, her face is red.]
【Yin Mu covered his mouth so quickly hhhh. 】
…
Jiang Nanyu casually plucked the strings twice and said, "Then I'll sing a song from Su Mu's new album, 'Blue Starfish.'"
This is a gentle and lingering love song. Yin Mu has not heard Su Mu's original version, but judging from Jiang Nanyu's singing and playing, the lyrics and music seem to be pretty good.
I heard from them that Su Mu is the champion of "Sing If You Want to Sing Season 2" and is also a creative singer. It seems that his reputation is well-deserved and he is really talented.
When he finished singing, everyone applauded, and Zhou Jingyu was even more generous in her praise: "It's very nice, no worse than Su Mu's."
Zheng Wei was outspoken and sang a different tune: "It's very nice, but Su Mu's songs are best sung by him. No one else can sing them with that flavor. Why do you want to imitate him?"
When Jiang Nanyu heard her say this, his expression changed instantly.
Yin Mu pressed his solar plexus with a headache.
Can Zheng Wei please control her mouth?
