System: "Master, this system has been upgraded."
Liu Nian understood; the system she was currently bound to was for life, and if one party benefited, both parties would win.
"I see."
Without further ado, she went straight in.
I chose a two-seater by the window and started picking out food.
The waiter lit the charcoal for her and then left.
Liu Nian grilled the meat absentmindedly, his movements clumsy and awkward.
Just then, four more boys entered through the door, and Liu Nian's eyes lit up when she looked over.
"Look, the prey has shown itself, hasn't it?"
System: "Host, we have detected that the male protagonist, Su Ke, is within 500 meters of you."
Liu Nian: "Your system isn't responding well! I saw it before you said anything."
System: "This system has automatically detected that some functions do need to be updated. The host may have to work on it for a while."
Liu Nian: "It's okay, you can update now."
System: "Let me see how you plan to attack."
Liu Nian: "You'll see soon enough."
After paying, the four boys went straight to a four-person table next to Liu Nian. They chatted and laughed, and seemed to have a good friendship.
If you ignore the guy who seems to be shining wherever he goes, the other three are actually all good-looking, each with their own unique charm.
It's true what they say, handsome guys always have handsome friends.
Liu Nian never cooks, so naturally she doesn't know how to grill meat. When she put the pork belly on the grill, she didn't know that it would splatter oil. When she felt a pain on the back of her hand, she also let out a cry of surprise.
Ouch! That hurts!
Her exclamation successfully caught the attention of four tall boys at the next table.
All four of them turned to look at each other, only then realizing that there was such a beautiful woman next to them.
Upon seeing Liu Nian's face, they exclaimed inwardly: "My God! Is this a fairy?! How can such a beautiful girl exist?! Mom! I've seen a fairy!"
"Are you alright?" At this moment, the boy sitting just across the aisle from Liu Nian took the initiative to ask her.
Liu Nian looked at him, smiled, shook her head, and said with a hint of grievance in her voice, "Thank you, I'm fine, it's just that the back of my hand hurts a little!" This was the moment that required acting skills, and Liu Nian's expression was spot-on.
When the four boys heard her say that, their eyes all fell on her hands, which were indeed a little red.
Now they were amazed again: This girl has such fair skin! My goodness! Her skin must be so supple!
Her skin is so soft!
Ignoring what they were thinking, Liu Nian picked up the tongs again and started grilling the meat.
Having learned her lesson from the previous experience, Liu Nian was extra careful this time. She stopped grilling pork belly and focused solely on grilling steak.
Her movements were extremely clumsy; it took her several minutes each time she tried to flip the steak. She would always fail when she picked up the steak with the tongs and was about to flip it, and she could never flip it successfully no matter how many times she tried.
This really tests a person's patience and can easily trigger obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Her appearance made several boys at the next table frown, wishing they could grill it for her themselves.
They thought it that way, and some people even did it.
Su Ke was sitting next to her, one aisle away, facing the boy who had shown concern for her earlier.
He got up and went straight to the seat opposite Liu Nian. He sat down without saying a word, and without asking Liu Nian if she wanted to, he took the tongs and pincers from her hand and started grilling meat for her.
Looking at his series of actions, Liu Nian suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Um, thank you."
Unexpectedly, Su Ke said indifferently, "No need, I just had my OCD triggered by you."
Liu Nian, “…” It’s okay, now we can talk, right? What does this mean? It means their story is about to begin with this barbecue incident.
Su Ke's voice is very pleasant, clear and cool, with a youthful tone.
Well, he's still a freshman in college right now.
The steak was ready in no time. Su Ke gestured for her to bring the plate over, and Liu Nian understood and quickly handed it over.
After placing the steak on a plate, Su Ke personally took a knife and cut it into pieces for her before handing it to Liu Nian.
"Eat."
After saying that, he planned to go back to his own table.
Liu Nian stopped him: "Hey, little brother, why don't you sit here? The two tables are close together anyway."
Su Ke glanced at her, then returned to his original spot.
Liu Nian, “…” This male lead is a bit aloof!
System: "He's not aloof, he just doesn't know you. It's normal human thinking."
Liu Nian clicked his tongue twice in his heart. The system was right. Su Ke was like this now, but who knew if he would still be like this in the future?
While casually eating her steak, she deliberately glanced at the pork belly on their table.
Perhaps it was because her gaze was too direct, but the four boys were almost unable to bear it, unsure whether to eat or not.
They were all embarrassed by what they saw.
Liu Nian turned his gaze back and placed the pork belly on the baking tray himself.
Then he started acting strangely, constantly shaking this hand or that hand.
"Whoosh... It's so hot!"
"Ouch! That hurts!"
The boys at the next table exchanged glances. Just as one of them was about to get up, the tall and long-legged Su Ke sat down opposite Liu Nian before him.
"I'll do it!"
The three boys were all stunned, not understanding what was wrong with Su Ke today! He was actually grilling meat for a woman he didn't know!
They understood the first time! After all, they all had the urge to try it themselves.
