The fighting outside stopped after a short while.
The three people inside the room all stood up.
Except for Jiang Liu, all the members of Team 009 were moved to a flat area.
When Jiang Liu and the other team members saw Huang Yuande emerge unharmed, their eyes widened. "Captain, are you alright?"
Huang Yuande laughed heartily, "It's nothing, it's all a misunderstanding..."
...
In the evening, Huang Yuande rented two barbecue grills in the park, and the two teams gathered there to enjoy a barbecue.
"I want to eat lamb skewers, are they ready yet?" Shang Yan asked, sitting to the side watching Zhou Ping grill the meat.
The meat skewers sizzled and dripped with oil on the grill, filling the air with their aroma. Zhou Ping sprinkled some cumin on them at the right moment, then flipped them over and continued grilling.
"Almost there, just two more minutes."
He glanced at Shang Yan with a smile, feeling that Shang Yan's true colors were about to be revealed.
After sprinkling a few more chili flakes, the grilled lamb skewers were handed to Shang Yan. Zhou Ping was a little worried, "They're too hot now, eat them later."
Shang Yan blew on the meat skewer in his hand, feeling his mouth water. Hearing Zhou Ping's words, he quickly nodded.
He quickly finished the skewers in his hand and turned back to look at Zhou Ping with expectant eyes.
Grill a skewer, eat a skewer, grill a skewer, eat a skewer...
"Burp..." Shang Yan had eaten all the skewers Zhou Ping had grilled. He was a little full and reached out to refuse, "I'm full, you eat."
Zhou Ping reached out and touched Shang Yan's head, then took a lollipop out of his pocket and held it to his lips.
Shang Yan opened his mouth and bit down without hesitation. He bit a little too quickly, and his teeth reached the very end of the plastic stick, only to be pushed further into his mouth by the candy ball. "Cough cough cough..."
He quickly lowered his head and coughed heavily several times, spitting out the lollipop.
Zhou Ping, who was still holding a plastic stick, quickly reached out and patted his back to help him catch his breath.
"Why are you eating so fast?" He didn't even care about the meat skewers still grilling on the grill, and quickly turned around to grab a glass of warm water and handed it to Shang Yan.
After gulping down the water, Shang Yan opened his mouth again to bite into the candy, saying, "I'm fine, give it to me!"
Zhou Ping:......
She watched nervously as Shang Yan slowly ate the candy before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Her gaze lingered on Shang Yan's lips for two seconds, and a strange thought welled up in her mind.
Is it that shallow?
Danmei and An Qingyu were talking for a while, but An Qingyu killed the conversation. When Danmei turned around, she saw this scene, and her interest, which had just been dampened, was instantly rekindled.
She grabbed An Qingyu and asked anxiously, "What is the relationship between Senior Sword Saint and Senior Sea God?"
An Qingyu adjusted her glasses and answered truthfully, "In a romantic relationship."
Immediately afterwards, Danmei turned her head and looked at Shang Yan, who was watching Zhou Ping grill skewers, with a look of utter disbelief. "Those two have such a good relationship."
“Yes, Senior Sword Saint and Brother Shangyan have a very good relationship.” Lin Qiye watched the interaction between the two not far away with a sense of normalcy.
Huang Yuande took a sip of warm water and said, "Is this how you plan to challenge other teams? Kidnap a team leader every time you arrive at a new place?"
Lin Qiye made an "uh" sound, then sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it... We're not allowed to reveal our identities..."
This behavior is indeed inappropriate.
"Hmm... I was in the same class as Li Hong, the captain of the Night Watchers team in Lintang City, and we have a pretty good relationship. I'll give him a heads-up for you. How's your combat training going after you get there?" Huang Yuande said after a moment of contemplation.
He glanced again at Zhou Ping, who was grilling skewers not far away, and thought to himself, "Sword Saint Idol, this is all I can do to help you!"
"Thank you, Captain Huang!" Lin Qiye's eyes lit up.
After grilling a few more skewers of meat, a member of Squad 009 came over, holding a pen and paper in his hand.
"Senior Sword Saint..." he suddenly pushed the paper and pen in his hand out. "I've admired you for a long time. Could you please sign your autograph?"
Zhou Ping, who was grilling skewers, was taken aback, and his face quickly turned red. "Oh... okay."
This is the first time someone has asked him for an autograph.
After signing, the team member still didn't leave, looking somewhat reservedly at Shang Yan, who was sucking on a lollipop.
"Senior Sea God..."
Shang Yan had been waiting for a while. He grabbed a pen and paper and quickly wrote his name next to Zhou Ping's. "Signed!"
"Yes, thank you, senior!"
Seeing how easy it was to get an autograph, Jiang Liu walked over, rubbing his hands together somewhat embarrassedly.
"Sword Saint Senior, Sea God Senior, I didn't bring paper and pen, I want some too..."
Shang Yan blinked. "No problem, you tell me where to sign!"
Jiang Liu quickly snatched the pen from the teammate's hand, took off his own coat and handed it over, saying, "Here, here!"
He treasured the coat when he got home and never washed it again!
"Hmm." After Shang Yan finished signing, Zhou Ping silently picked up the pen and signed his own name.
After signing, he blushed and said, "Good evening..."
Jiang Liu was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Good evening, Senior Sword Saint!"
"Do you... want some barbecue skewers?" Zhou Ping handed over the freshly grilled meat skewers wrapped in tin foil.
He lowered his head, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
"Wow! Is this for us?"
"I got to eat the skewers that the Sword Saint grilled himself, waaaaah..."
After delivering the meat skewers, Zhou Ping's culinary skills received unanimous praise, and he smiled slightly with delight.
The curvature is so small that it is difficult for people to notice.
Shang Yan grilled a skewer of meat, blew on it, and held it to his lips. "They all praised you, aren't you happy?"
"Hmm..." Zhou Ping opened his mouth and took a bite.
Shang Yan patted the stool next to him, "Sit down, you didn't save any of the skewers you just grilled for yourself, and you haven't eaten any of them in all this time..."
After muttering to himself, he handed all the freshly grilled skewers to Zhou Ping, saying, "Eat slowly, don't burn yourself!"
“…Hmm!” Zhou Ping responded, sitting on the stool and smiling as he watched the person in front of him grill skewers. He narrowed his eyes, feeling that today’s barbecue was much, much tastier than usual.
But he couldn't quite put his finger on which one tasted best.
As the night wore on, after both teams in the park had drunk themselves into a stagger, Shang Yan and Zhou Ping glanced helplessly at Lin Qiye and Huang Yuande, who were still relatively sober.
Huang Yuande even ran over and put his arm around Zhou Ping's shoulder, saying, "Sword Saint Senior, if you two get married... you must invite us... we'll give you a wedding gift..."
Zhou Ping nodded, blushing. "Yes... I will."
Shang Yan had already used the vines to lift up the people who were drunk and drowsy. "Where should we take them?"
"Let's go to the hotel," Zhou Ping said helplessly, turning to pack up the grill.
