Chapter 63
The assistant brought wine. As soon as Su Yin took the first sip, his eyes lit up. He raised his glass and said, "Come and drink!"
“Here I come!”
Gu Qian'an put down the skewers in his hand and was about to go over when suddenly a dark shadow flashed before his eyes and took the seat next to the young sect leader.
Ji Qingqing, who had been sitting quietly in the corner wearing sunglasses, flew towards Su Yin like a toy car with a switch pressed.
Su Yin instinctively turned sideways. She missed, but she wasn't annoyed. Instead, she cried out in a crisp voice, "Sister!" with a mixture of shyness and joy.
Su Yin: “?”
who?
Xiao Zhang reacted quickly, his brain like Ji Qingqing's personal film library, "It's an urban idol drama starring Miss Qingqing, about a childhood sweetheart's love. In it, she calls the male protagonist brother."
When it comes to Su Yin, she naturally becomes the older sister, even though she is actually three years younger than Ji Qingqing.
Okay, Su Yin didn't mind and handed her a glass of wine. She stayed with Xie Lingxu, sipping the wine while waiting for the fish to be cooked.
Gradually, the alcohol took over and his face started to turn red.
A cool handkerchief was placed against her forehead. Su Yin was startled and turned her head to look at Ji Qingqing's serious and gentle eyes.
Noticing her gaze, she smiled shyly, "Sister."
"I saw that your face was a little red, so I wanted to cool her down." Ji Qingqing unfolded the handkerchief. "It's new and clean. I just filled it with water over there."
Su Yin was slow to react for a moment, then shook the wine glass at her and smiled brightly, "It's not hot, it's drinkable."
"I'm sorry, sister." Ji Qingqing bit her lip and took back the handkerchief in frustration, "I misunderstood."
"It's such a small matter, why apologize?"
Su Yin smiled with narrowed eyes, and handed her a string of fish that Xie Lingxu had just grilled.
Xie Lingxu turned his head and looked at the person sitting there, "That's for you."
Su Yin let out an "ah" unconsciously.
"Sister, he seems unhappy." Ji Qingqing glanced at Xie Lingxu and sympathetically handed the fish to Su Yin. "It's okay, sister. You can eat it."
Su Yin was a little confused, "Why would a fish be unhappy?"
"This is my first time grilling fish, the first fish I grilled." Xie Lingxu didn't like Ji Qingqing leading the conversation, but he still spoke.
The first time in two lives, the first one.
Hearing this, Su Yin's brain, which was dizzy from the alcohol, suddenly shuddered and he took a pair of chopsticks to carefully pick up the fish.
"No wonder, the outside is burnt but the inside is still uncooked." She pushed the skewer away from the fish. "It's a good thing you didn't eat it. You should have thrown it away. You can't eat it."
"Listen to my sister!"
Ji Qingqing threw the string of fish into the trash can without hesitation. Her movements were extremely neat, and she wiped her fingers carefully with a wet wipe after throwing it away.
Xie Lingxu: "..."
Ji Qingqing suggested again, "Sister, it's hot next to the barbecue grill, why don't we go wait there?"
It seemed a bit hot, so Su Yin pulled out the overly large coat on her body.
Xie Lingxu glanced at Ji Qingqing with an ambiguous look, and coaxed her into giving her a skewer of meat, "Don't you want to try grilling it yourself?"
"Well... let's grill it."
Su Yin slowly retracted her legs and continued to sit next to him, holding the wine glass and staring at the barbecue grill.
Ji Qingqing glanced at Xie Lingxu again, the corners of her mouth turned down quickly, and then she quickly returned to her well-behaved look.
She came close to Su Yin, pointed at the wine glass in her hand and said, "Sister, I want to drink a sip of yours."
Su Yin's eyes moved to her untouched glass of wine, then looked at the identical glass in her own hand. She didn't quite understand why she wanted hers, but she still reached out her hand.
"Yes."
"Sister is so nice!" Ji Qingqing quickly took a sip from her hand.
Su Yin looked down at the wine glass and was about to drink again when Xie Lingxu stopped him.
"Since she likes to drink from other people's cups, don't take away her preference." He said meaningfully, snatching the cup that the two of them had drunk from her hand and throwing it aside.
Then, he picked up the cup that the assistant placed in front of him and handed it to her, "There's more wine in this cup. I'll pour it for you after you finish it."
"Oh, okay." Su Yin nodded woodenly, looking like anything is fine.
At this time, a string of fish stretched out next to it.
"Sister, don't just drink. Come and eat grilled fish."
Ji Qingqing didn't know when a string of grilled fish appeared in her hand. It was delicious and grilled just right.
She stuffed the fish into Su Yin's hand expectantly, "Sister, try it."
Su Yin took a bite as instructed and nodded, "Delicious."
"Then eat more, sister!"
After saying that, Ji Qingqing added casually, "Sister, you should keep your eyes open. Like the fish just now, the surface is burnt, who knows what it's like inside? This kind of fish should be thrown away as soon as possible."
The courtyard was very quiet at night, with only the faint sound of turning ingredients. The conversation between the three people was carried by the night breeze into the ears of others present.
Gu Qian'an was used to this and handled it with ease. He concentrated on grilling his own meat and didn't join in the fun. He just kept his ears perked up, listening to what was going on over there.
Gu Cheng and Tian Xiao were huddled together. He tried to speak several times, but was stopped by her. He had no choice but to sit quietly in the background with a lot of questions in his mind.
Xiao Zhang grilled food for Ji Qingqing without changing his expression. The fish that was just served was grilled by him.
Only the assistant stared at Ji Qingqing with a constipated look on his face.
In the past, that was the position of Mr. Fu in his family.
Why is this role so popular?
Over there, the drunken Su Yin didn't hear the sharp words in the words at all, and stupidly agreed, "That's right, raw fish can't be eaten, it should be thrown away."
“What should be thrown away?”
A domineering voice forced its way into the conversation.
Everyone's eyes turned to one place at the same time.
The owner of Courtyard No. 2 was walking towards us in the moonlight.
"Mr. Fu?"
The assistant's voice was so shocked that it changed its tone. There was only one thought in his mind -
Why did this ancestor come out??!
Fu Yan ignored the assistant's jaw-dropping expression and asked again, "What should be thrown away?"
"The grilled fish is burnt on the outside but not cooked on the inside." Su Yin answered truthfully.
"It should be thrown away." Fu Yan said.
This is the third time.
Xie Lingxu's heart skipped a beat.
Fu Yan saw the situation of Su Yin standing on his left and right, ignored his real rival, and pointed his spearhead directly at Ji Qingqing.
He still remembered the crazy woman who had snatched him away. "Who allowed you to sit here?"
Ji Qingqing put on an obedient smile and hugged Su Yin's arm, "Of course, my sister allows it."
"Right, sis, I can sit here?"
Su Yin blinked and replied slowly, "Okay."
Xie Lingxu on the other side didn't say anything, but just poured her some wine and handed her a skewer of freshly grilled meat.
"Shift." Fu Yan cursed softly, but he didn't intend to give up. He looked around and found a place where no one would disturb him, and prepared to take his woman there.
Before he could move, he looked down and his eyes suddenly became stern.
"Whose clothes are you wearing?"
It was obviously a man's coat, loose and ill-fitting, and it was extremely eye-catching on her.
Su Yin tilted her head and sniffed. Even next to the smoke-filled barbecue grill, she could still smell a refreshing scent, just like the owner of this coat. She looked like a celestial being, untouched by the mundane world, as she went into the kitchen to make soup.
She said as a matter of course: "It's Xie Lingxu's."
Fu Yan frowned unhappily, "Take it off and wear mine when you're cold."
"Why take off your clothes when you're dressed properly?" Ji Qingqing patted the place where she accidentally touched the coat, and she also disliked Fu Yan's clothes.
"It will only cause trouble for my sister."
She turned around and said, "I'm sorry, sister, I forgot to bring my coat. If you're cold, don't take it off."
"Sister is so beautiful, she would look good even if she was wearing dog skin."
While the two of them were arguing about the coat, the owner of the coat, Xie Lingxu, did not join in the argument. He just bent down and rolled up Su Yin's sleeves again.
He said calmly, "If it falls off, tell me."
Su Yin nodded, "Okay."
Fu Yan stopped arguing with the woman. He walked behind Su Yin and put his hand on his shoulder. "Come sit over there with me."
Just as he touched her, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him away.
Xie Lingxu stood sideways, glaring at him protectively, and said calmly, "Don't touch me."
"I'm returning the original words to you." Fu Yan's eyebrows were filled with sarcasm.
He had been watching this love rival for a long time. He hadn't posed any threat in the past, but now...
Oh.
The words sound nice, but Xie Lingxu is no better than that.
The look in his eyes when he looked at her was no longer innocent.
Su Yin's brain was in a mess due to the influence of alcohol, and she had no idea what they were talking about. She only heard Fu Yan say about changing positions.
"No." She shook her head, wondering why she should move when she was sitting here comfortably.
Fu Yan saw that her face was flushed and there was a scent of wine in the air. "Have you been drinking? Are you drunk?"
"I'm not drunk! I'm sober!"
Su Yin stood up quickly, pointed at his nose and asked, "How did you know I have a fire spirit root?"
She had asked this question many times, and each time it ended with her assistant's silence.
Fu Yan frowned slightly, then relaxed, smiled evilly, and said confidently: "Because of women, you are very hot."
Su Yin paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"
She understood!
"You should have said it earlier. People with fire roots are hotter than the average person." She patted Fu Yan's shoulder. "Why is it so hard to say it out loud? You've been hesitating for months. Really?"
Fu Yan let out a few low laughs from the depths of his throat, "Interesting."
Before she could say a few more words, Su Yin, who had stood up, was pushed back into the chair by Xie Lingxu, and Ji Qingqing also came forward again.
Fu Yan stood behind them with an inexplicable look on his face.
"Boss Fu, how about you sit opposite the Young Sect Master?"
The assistant suggested, not knowing why, "Sit face to face with the Young Sect Master, just across the grill."
Fu Yan looked at the place he pointed at, "You..."
The assistant's heart tightened.
"A raise."
"!" The assistant smiled happily, "Thank you, Mr. Fu!"
