Chapter 44 Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Looking at Liu Qingqing's bitter and resentful expression, Zuo Zili couldn't help but chuckle.
How can this girl be so playful? She's so cute!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stroke her head. The feeling was simply amazing!
Liu Qingqing just rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.
Seeing this rolling eyes, Zuo Zili couldn't help laughing again.
She kept pulling sweet potatoes with her hands, and seeing this, Zuo Zili helped her.
Finally, there was a pile of sweet potatoes next to the two of them.
Liu Qingqing gave Zuo Zili a look and asked him to move the sweet potatoes to the road. She went to the side to pick up some firewood and started a fire under the gaze of others.
She started with hay and then lit the branches. Once the fire was going well, she added the sweet potatoes and then some grass and leaves. To speed things up, Liu Qingqing kept blowing air on them. After roasting one side of the sweet potatoes, she turned them over and roasted the other side. After about half an hour, she covered the potatoes with ashes and let them simmer for a while.
In this way, Liu Qingqing successfully baked the sweet potatoes amid their confused, shocked and regretful eyes.
Because there was wood smoke all around, all the team members thought Liu Qingqing was wasting food and felt very sorry about it.
This is ground egg! Such delicious ground egg!
How can a little girl be so wasteful!
When Liu Qingqing dug the sweet potatoes out of the ground, the regret in their eyes became even deeper.
Woohoo~ Look at what this place has become after being burned by the fire! What a prodigal child!
But what can they do? They can’t bring themselves to hit him, and they can’t bear to scold him. It’s really, oh my!
However, when Liu Qingqing took out the sweet potato, she just gently tore off its skin, and then a strong sweet smell spread to the noses of everyone around her.
They had never smelled this kind of smell before, but they thought it smelled very sweet, which made them addicted to it. They all looked at the sweet potato in Liu Qingqing's hand with bright eyes.
Liu Qingqing blew gently on her fingertips. To be honest, the skin of the sweet potato was very hot, but her physique was so strong that the pain did not cause any harm to her.
Everyone watched as she peeled off the skin of the sweet potato bit by bit, revealing the orange-red flesh inside, and hot steam continued to rise with the emitted mist.
At this moment, the sweet potato looked like a peerless beauty in their eyes, who was gently hooking her index finger at them, smiling sweetly, with beautiful eyes, and seducing all their senses with a charming tone.
Wow, what kind of magical food is this?
Everyone's attention was focused on this sweet potato.
Liu Qingqing looked at everyone like this and felt a little confused.
"Why are you staring at this thing in my hand when there are so many of them out there?"
This sentence seemed to have unlocked some magical code. Everyone came back to their senses and grabbed the sweet potatoes and wanted to stuff them into their mouths.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
"Oh, this is such a happy meal, isn't it?"
"How can I have something so delicious?"
"What's the point of winning or losing the competition? Even if I were to be declared the loser right now, I wouldn't have any regrets."
Liu Qingqing looked at them and really wanted to say:
"It's just a sweet potato, is that a big deal?"
But she still didn't say it. After everyone had picked their sweet potatoes, Zuo Zili took out a sweet potato, peeled it elegantly and started eating it, his movements neither hurried nor slow.
Liu Qingqing looked at the people around her wolfing down their food and couldn't help but gently poke his arm.
"You don't have to think about leaving any for them. There's still plenty over there. Just do more."
Zuo Zili is quite nice to me. It’s just some sweet potatoes, so it’s no big deal to help him.
Zuo Zili, who was standing by, couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this.
He was just doing it because of his family's fixed dining etiquette, and he really didn't mean to be kind and want his teammates to eat more.
The others also laughed when they heard Liu Qingqing's words.
"Little girl, don't underestimate the captain's appetite. Even though he seems to eat slowly, he has the ability to finish a large area without you even noticing."
"That's right, we're rushing because we're afraid we won't have anything to eat by then."
Everyone was laughing happily around the newly-lit bonfire, singing and chatting together.
Liu Qingqing looked at the people in front of her and a smile appeared on her face from the bottom of her heart. These people are really a group of lovely young people!
After laughing and playing, they fell asleep. It was very quiet around them, with only the occasional chirping of insects.
Liu Qingqing got up from the ground and made sure that everyone around her was asleep. She walked to Zuo Zili's position and shook his arm to wake him up.
"you--"
Before Zuo Zili could finish his words, Liu Qingqing covered his mouth and asked him to be quiet. Zuo Zili obediently shut his mouth.
Liu Qingqing pulled him forward. Zuo Zili looked at the place where they were stationed and resting, and asked her with some doubt:
"Little girl, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? What's wrong with you?"
There was only doubt in his voice, no wariness.
I have to say, Liu Qingqing really admires his generosity. Although he has the ability to sense kindness and malice, isn't he too confident in himself?
She didn't say anything and kept walking forward with Zuo Zili.
It didn't take long, just a few minutes, before Liu Qingqing stopped and pointed to the rolling mountains next to them.
"So why did you bring me here?"
Zuo Zili was still confused. Why was he brought to this mountain?
"Do you know why I asked you to take the road on the right?"
"Why? Didn't you just pick it randomly?"
"Of course not. In fact, I was here before, and then I accidentally got lost and ran into you. I might have found something very important."
Liu Qingqing pointed to the mountain nearby, her face full of helplessness. In reality, she was still telling lies without thinking.
"Something important? What is it?"
Zuo Zili frowned. He now realized that the girl in front of him was a little too calm.
Then he looked at the girl in front of him and smiled brightly.
"Something that will make you win."
At dawn the next day, Liu Qingqing and Zuo Zili returned to their camp together. After a night like this, Zuo Zili's face had become expressionless.
He looked at the group of people in front of him who were soundly sleeping and kicked them a few times:
"Get up, get up quickly. It's already late and you're still sleeping here. Hurry up and get up."
There was a hint of impatience in his voice.
The others were confused by the captain's actions so early in the morning. What was going on? Where had their elegant and calm captain gone? Could this guy in front of them, with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes, be their captain?
No way, no way, could it be that the captain has gone crazy because he can't accept losing?
Don’t do that!
"Captain, please don't leave us!"
"I must listen to you from now on. You must not go crazy!"
"Captain, I was wrong. I shouldn't have piled up my stinky socks in your cabin last time. I've never dared to admit it. Captain, you can hit me and scold me, but don't go crazy!"
At this moment, Zuo Zili couldn't help but hold his forehead when looking at the group of "silly and innocent" people in front of him.
Why am I being tortured all night while you guys are still here showing off?
I went to visit the graves today and came a little late. Please forgive me (ω)
