Chapter 46
While hugging Teng Yunwu, she confirmed with Manager Hu, "This horse belongs to me now?"
Manager Hu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we just shipped it here from Happy Valley Racecourse."
Ye Tianhui: "I've seen this horse before, and the owner said he wouldn't sell it, but now he's suddenly selling it!"
Manager Hu: "I don't know about that. Mr. Ye asked us to transfer this horse. You'd have to ask Mr. Ye for the details."
Ye Tianhui was naturally surprised and delighted. All her previous dissatisfaction with Ye Lixuan disappeared in an instant, and she was left with only love and liking him again and again!
He actually bought Tengyun Mist for himself!
For a moment, I really wanted to throw myself in front of Ye Lixuan and call him daddy several times. He is indeed my daddy!
Manager Hu was actually a little worried, afraid that Ye Tianhui wouldn't like the horse; after all, it was just a Class 5 horse. But he didn't expect Ye Tianhui to actually like it so much, and he felt relieved. He complimented her, "Mr. Ye must really love Miss Ye, so he bought this horse specifically. Actually, our trainer has already seen it and says it has some potential, but it's a bit lazy. I think with dedicated training, he'll definitely show results in time."
When Manager Hu said this, he actually sighed deeply in his heart.
This horse is not just lazy, it's too lazy, it's hopelessly lazy!
Not only is it lazy, but it is also greedy. Its mouth is never idle and it is always eating. Its eyes are very sneaky and it is always looking for food. It will eat the grass it sees and even eats its own bed!
Manager Hu has been dealing with horses for several years and has seen all kinds of horses, but he has never seen a horse that eats so much.
What's even more terrifying is that it is lazy, extremely lazy. All it does is eat and sleep.
It is impossible for other horses to lie there and sleep peacefully. After all, horses are naturally active and cannot be restrained. However, this one is really lazy!
The way it lay lazily on the lawn basking in the sun was simply indescribable. It was obviously just a young horse of three and a half years old, strong and healthy. It should have been trying hard to get out and kick its hind legs even without the reins, but it just lay there like an eighty-year-old old lady!
It's just that he couldn't say anything in front of Miss Ye.
Otherwise, he was afraid that Miss Ye would be angry to death on the spot.
Ye Tianhui heard the tone of Manager Hu and understood that Manager Hu was not optimistic.
She laughed and said, "Never mind, I don't expect this horse to achieve anything."
Manager Hu said, "Ms. Ye, don't worry about that. Our trainer has already provided a detailed training plan for this horse. Would you like to take a look?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "No need."
She caressed Teng Yunwu's hair lovingly and said, "Teng Yunwu's historical performance isn't very good. If he wants to participate in the official competition, he'll probably have to go through a lot of training courses and accumulate the points he missed in the inter-class competitions. That's really too much work."
Hard?
Manager Hu was overwhelmed after hearing this.
In this line of work, how can you complain about the hard work? How can you achieve results without hard work?
So now, this young lady bought a horse and is actually worried about the horse being tired? The training course she asked the trainer to design is not difficult at all! It's just the most common entry-level training!
However, Ye Tianhui didn't care. She smiled and hugged Teng Yunwu's neck, stroking its mane soothingly: "Do you want to gallop on the track and show your prowess? You don't really want to, do you?"
The Tengyunwu horse looked at her with its eyes and made a whinnying sound.
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "I knew it, you lazy horse. You just want to eat grass now, so eat the grass well. When you get tired, go to sleep, and continue eating when you wake up. If you get bored, ask the trainer to take you out for a run or two to stretch your legs."
Manager Hu on the side: ...
He was speechless. What was this young lady saying?
Could it be that he bought a horse for retirement?
Ye Tianhui knew that Manager Hu was very surprised, but she didn't care.
She asked Manager Hu to make a new plan, to have rich fodder and sufficient rest, and to take Teng Yunwu out for two or three walks every day. The rest of the time, Teng Yunwu could eat when he wanted to, sleep when he wanted to, or be lazy when he wanted to.
At this point, what else could Manager Hu say? He had to take a deep breath and say, "Okay, okay."
Anyway, it’s the boss who pays.
Let her be, as long as the young lady is happy!
*********
When coming out of the horse farm, Ye Tianhui was naturally overjoyed.
The sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the world is colorful.
Teng Yunwu belongs to her now. She will make up to Teng Yunwu for everything she owes Chi Yan and let Teng Yunwu live a happy and carefree life!
Of course, she also has to work hard to earn a lot of money to make up for everything that happened in the past and live a happy and worry-free life!
In fact, the moment she got Teng Yunwu, she felt that everything she had lost was back and some of her regrets were compensated.
For this, she had to thank Ye Lixuan.
He must have spent a considerable price to obtain the Tengyunwu that he had asked for several times but failed to obtain. In this respect, he was very attentive to himself.
In fact, looking back on the past, because of the initial embarrassing misunderstanding, she had no hope for Ye Lixuan, and was even full of disgust and resentment towards him.
But putting aside everything at the beginning, she had to admit that it was a blessing to have a father like Ye Lixuan.
Compared to her terrible daughter, Ye Lixuan is already good enough.
She remembered the tie she bought for Ye Lixuan, but forgot to give it to him yesterday. She would give it to him as soon as she got back today!
She must coax him more. She knows how to use sweet words to coax her father. She has a lot of experience in this in her previous life.
Thinking of this, she walked to the parking lot. Unexpectedly, a person came towards her. He looked very familiar. It was Gu Zhihan.
Normally, she would not be in a good mood when she saw Gu Zhihan, but now she was in a good mood, so she symbolically greeted Gu Zhihan and smiled at him.
When she smiled like that, Gu Zhihan was stunned.
In fact, Gu Zhihan had already seen Ye Tianhui. He saw her laughing, sighing, and looking up at the sky, as if she had gotten something great.
He didn't understand, so he stood aside and watched.
Who knew that suddenly, she would smile so brilliantly at herself.
That smile was like the blue sky and red sun in winter, clear, gorgeous, bright and refreshing, which made Gu Zhihan's heart flutter and his face flushed.
Gu Zhihan, a nobleman from Hong Kong, who was arrogant and willful and didn't care about anything, was so stunned when he looked at Ye Tianhui that he couldn't say a word.
Seeing that he was silent, Ye Tianhui was also confused for a moment: "What's wrong with you? Why are you here?"
Gu Zhihan said hurriedly, "Nothing, I just... just happened to come over to take a look. What about you? Are you here to see the horses too?"
Speaking of horses, Ye Tianhui was naturally in a good mood, so she smiled and said, "Daddy bought me a horse, and I like that horse very much."
Gu Zhihan: "Really? What kind of horse? Uncle Ye must have bought you a top-notch horse, right?"
Ye Tianhui was so overjoyed at the moment that she couldn't wait to tell everyone about it. She no longer minded Gu Zhihan's annoyance, so she began to tell him, "This horse isn't a very talented one. It's not lazy, it just eats grass and grass all day long. It's already three and a half years old and has participated in several class competitions, but it always came in last!"
Gu Zhihan was amazed when he heard this: "To think there's a racehorse like this? This horse is so interesting. It always comes in last. Isn't that easy?"
Ye Tianhui laughed, "Yes, it always comes in last. Among the horses currently registered with the Hong Kong Jockey Club, it's probably the worst performing of the five classes. Horses like it are rare! But I think this horse has excellent qualifications and exceptional bones. If it were to exert its strength, it would surely be a blockbuster! It just doesn't care!"
Gu Zhihan understood: "This horse is of a much higher rank. It simply disdains to compete with those ordinary horses."
Ye Tianhui: "Ordinary people? That's a great word. Yes, except for my Teng Yunwu, all the others are ordinary people."
Gu Zhihan naturally agreed. He agreed very much and agreed over and over again.
Seeing that Gu Zhihan was so supportive, Ye Tianhui started talking again, explaining why Teng Yunwu had good qualifications, the difference between it and a purebred horse, the superiority of its bloodline, and that if it were to be ridden, all the horses in the world would be eclipsed by it.
In short, it's a lot of bragging.
Gu Zhihan accepted it all without any objection. He felt that everything Ye Tianhui said was right, every word was right!
Faced with such a sensible Gu Zhihan, Ye Tianhui naturally had a better impression of him.
It seems that this person is not completely useless.
Gu Zhihan asked Ye Tianhui where she was going. Ye Tianhui mentioned that she was going home, and the driver came to pick her up immediately, but it seemed that the driver was late.
Seeing this, Gu Zhihan took the opportunity to suggest, "I'm just about to go halfway up the mountain. How about I take you there?"
Ye Tianhui: "No need, my driver will be here soon."
Gu Zhihan: "I'll make a call for you. When the driver comes, just tell him to go back by himself. Since he's late, can you still wait for him?"
Ye Tianhui listened and felt that what Gu Zhihan said made sense.
If the driver is late, she doesn't have to wait, otherwise she won't be able to use this driver in the future.
Besides, she needed an audience like Gu Zhihan to listen to her talk about Teng Yunwu. Since he was kind-hearted, there was no need for her to refuse him.
She then said, "I have an appointment with a friend and plan to go to Tung Chung."
Gu Zhihan: "Going to Tung Chung for dinner? I'm very familiar with that place, so I can take you there. I'm going there right now, so it's on my way."
Ye Tianhui: "Really?"
Gu Zhihan: "Of course, my uncle just happened to ask me to deliver a document. The document is in my car, so I'll just give you a ride."
Ye Tianhui naturally thought it was a good idea: "Then thank you for your help."
Gu Zhihan felt relieved to see that she was willing to get in his car.
After getting in the car, the two continued chatting. Gu Zhihan also noticed that Ye Tianhui might not be interested in other things, but she really liked racehorses, especially her horse Teng Yunwu. So he specifically asked about Teng Yunwu, horse racing, and horse tickets.
Ye Tianhui opened up and spoke seriously to Gu Zhihan.
Gu Zhihan was actually a smart man. He was able to draw inferences from one instance and indeed learned a lot.
Gu Zhihan took the opportunity to ask Ye Tianhui about her driver's license test. When this was mentioned, Ye Tianhui was a little depressed: "It's almost the same anyway. I should be able to pass the test."
Gu Zhihan noticed it and said quickly, "If you need me, I can practice driving with you. My driving skills are pretty good. I've participated in racing before, so I'll definitely have no problem teaching you."
Seeing that he was surprisingly sincere, Ye Tianhui thought that although this man was a bit snobbish and not a good person, he was not a very bad person either. In fact, they could still get to know each other a little, so she expressed her gratitude immediately.
Gu Zhihan reassured again and again: "Just tell me what you have to say, don't be polite."
Ye Tianhui: "I know, thank you."
Seeing her friendly demeanor, Gu Zhihan took advantage of the good atmosphere and asked tentatively, "So... have you talked to Grandpa Ye recently? What are your thoughts on... this matter?"
Ye Tianhui glanced at Gu Zhihan in confusion: "Of course we have talked about it. We have almost finished the discussion a long time ago. Otherwise, why would I come to the racecourse?"
Coming to the racecourse?
Gu Zhihan was pleasantly surprised. Did she know he was coming to the racecourse and come here on purpose?
He could hardly believe it!
Gu Zhihan: "So, what do you mean?"
Ye Tianhui: "Why are you asking me this all of a sudden? How do you know about our family?"
Gu Zhihan said hurriedly, "I went to visit Grandpa Ye the other day. My grandfather and Grandpa Ye had a special talk, which was considered a formal discussion. I think Grandpa Ye didn't have any objections. From what I heard, it's up to you."
As Ye Tianhui listened, she became more and more puzzled. She thought that it was not surprising that outsiders knew about her family affairs, so she did not deliberately hide it.
But this old man Ye actually specifically talked to the Gu family about this, he really doesn't treat the Gu family as outsiders.
Gu Zhihan carefully looked at Ye Tianhui's expression. Seeing that she didn't react at all, he was worried for a moment.
He then tentatively asked, "So what are you thinking now?"
Ye Tianhui said calmly, "I don't have any big ideas for now. Let's just let things take their course. I need to think about the specific choice."
In this matter, she didn't want outsiders, even the Ye family members would buy lottery tickets. Now that someone like this was involved, she didn't want to cause any trouble.
So she continued, "I'm not a reliable person, so I might not be sure of what I'm doing. I wouldn't dare harm anyone with this kind of thing, so don't count on me."
Gu Zhihan just thought that she was inferior, and thought that if she became timid because of this and did not dare to fight for it actively, that would be terrible!
Now I have to comfort her.
So he said, "Don't underestimate yourself. I still remember that day when you leaped and saved that bug. I thought you were a goddess descending from heaven. Now that you've joined the Ye family, your status and position are different than before. Who could possibly look down on you?"
Ye Tianhui frowned upon hearing this, thinking, what nonsense is this? Just because others don't look down on me, does that mean I can definitely win? It's not like I've achieved this by relying on others. Besides, it seems like Ye Lizhen and Ye Wenyin are trying to do something to her. With all this fuss, she might not be able to win alone.
But she was too lazy to pay attention to Gu Zhihan, thinking that this person was not very clear-headed, confused, and could not speak clearly.
Seeing that she was silent, Gu Zhihan sighed, "Now that things have come to this, it all depends on you."
Ye Tianhui was thinking about something, so she said casually: "Well, I know, I hope everything goes well. If things really work out -"
Gu Zhihan was moved when he heard this: "Now that it's done, what are you going to do?"
Ye Tianhui: "Of course everyone is happy. I joined the Ye family for this very reason."
Gu Zhihan: “!!!”
He looked at her in surprise and joy: "I am satisfied with what you said today."
Ye Tianhui frowned and asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with you?"
Why does he seem more like her father than Ye Lixuan, worrying about her in everything!
Gu Zhihan hurriedly coaxed her, "Don't be upset. I know what you're thinking."
Ye Tianhui was increasingly puzzled: "What am I thinking?"
She frowned: "Mr. Gu, what do you mean? What are you talking about? I have nothing to do with you, right?"
Gu Zhihan explained, "Tianhui, actually, just yesterday, I officially told my grandfather about my idea. He should have mentioned it to your grandfather as well. My mother is of course happy too. In short, everyone is happy."
Ye Tianhui became more and more confused: "Why are you telling me about your affairs? Are you talking about your marriage with my family? Why are you telling me? Shouldn't you tell Ye Wenyin?"
At this time, the car had arrived at the place agreed with Gu Shizhang, and a car happened to pass by.
Gu Zhihan hurriedly braked. He was in a hurry and said, "Don't be upset. I also mentioned this to Wen Yin yesterday. I talked to her on the phone, but I also need to make it clear to you!"
Ye Tianhui thought about it and said, "Okay, let's talk it out clearly. This way, it will be clear in front of my grandfather and he won't have any other ideas."
As she said this, she thought of what Ye Wenyin did last night and felt more and more strange.
Shouldn't Ye Wenyin be happy to hear such good news? Instead, she looked so weird, as if she hated herself to death.
Could it be that she has other thoughts and doesn't want to marry into the Gu family?
Gu Zhihan was amused by Ye Tianhui's evasive look. He sighed and said, "Okay, let the elders on both sides talk."
He looked aside for a moment and said, "My uncle seemed to have asked me to drop him off here, and I'm here too."
Ye Tianhui: "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll get off first. Thank you for giving me a ride."
Gu Zhihan showed his white teeth and smiled brightly at her: "You're welcome, you're welcome!"
Ye Tianhui got off the car, looked around, and walked towards the cafe where she had agreed to wait.
Walking on the road, I was puzzled when thinking about Gu Zhihan's current attentiveness.
You know, he used to be so disdainful of me, but today he is so fawning and flattering to me.
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Moreover, his words were vague and incomprehensible. This person might not have come to him specifically to inquire about information about Ye Wenyin.
Fortunately, I was still alert. Although I told him a lot of information about Teng Yunwu, I didn't reveal the key idea at all.
At the same time, he found it funny, thinking that the bet for this inter-class competition might have attracted a lot of monsters and demons. It seemed that he had to make a decision early on this inter-class competition, otherwise, if he delayed it, some unexpected trouble might happen.
Thinking of this, she walked to the agreed shopping mall, but saw Gu Shizhang from a distance. He was using a public phone to make a call and talking to someone.
From a distance, he obviously saw her, smiled and gestured to her, then hung up the phone.
Ye Tianhui was in a good mood today and went over happily: "Who are you talking to on the phone?"
Gu Shizhang: "My nephew."
Ye Tianhui was surprised: "Nephew? How old is your nephew?"
Gu Shizhang didn't seem to want to talk about it any more: "Not small anymore."
Ye Tianhui looked at him suspiciously and sized him up.
Gu Shizhang: "Hmm?"
Ye Tianhui: "Are you really only twenty-five? You're not lying to me about your age, are you? If you're thirty-five, just tell me."
I already have a nephew, and he seems to be a very big nephew...
Gu Shizhang looked at her helplessly: "What are you thinking about!"
Ye Tianhui was innocent: "Who knows what you are——"
Before she could finish her words, Gu Shizhang had already grabbed her hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious. Don't let your imagination run wild. I'm twenty-five. If I say twenty-five, then I'm twenty-five. I'll show you my ID later, okay? All of it!"
*************
Gu Shizhang first took Ye Tianhui to ride the Dingding car.
In fact, Ye Tianhui had taken the Ding Ding tram several times before. The Ding Ding tram is a tram and there is no traffic jam. However, it is a fixed route and sometimes there is no direct route, which is not very convenient.
The car that Gu Shizhang and Ye Tianhui were riding in was quite old, and they were lucky enough to find a seat after they got in.
He pulled her to sit by the window and introduced her with a smile, "It's said that this tram is the oldest tram in Hong Kong. It's a replica of a post-war tram."
In fact, Beijing's current means of transportation are all trams, so Ye Tianhui did not find the Ding Ding car novel. However, the layout of this Ding Ding car was really special. The window frames were made of solid wood, the seats were rattan chairs, tungsten filament lamps were hung, and there were antique mechanical control consoles. It looked authentic and old.
This tram was different from ordinary buses, so Ye Tianhui naturally found it fresh. Amid the clanging sound of the axles and tracks rubbing against each other, she looked out the window and saw this quaint tram passing through the bustling streets. On both sides of the streets were tall buildings, plaques and signs, and pedestrians. It had the world's latest fashions, as well as the traces of time left by a century of vicissitudes.
This Ding Ding car is very close to the sea. When the wind blows, the waves splash onto the car, and the air is filled with the smell of sea water and salted fish. It is actually quite interesting.
Gu Shizhang smiled and introduced Ye Tianhui to the local customs and culture. He was obviously very knowledgeable. Whenever he came across a place, he would introduce the story behind it, which made Ye Tianhui listen with great interest.
After arriving at the station, the bus stopped with a "ding ding" sound, and Gu Shizhang got off the bus holding Ye Tianhui's hand.
——Unconsciously, Ye Tianhui seemed to have gotten used to him holding her hand like this.
Walking down the street, she wondered, "Where can we eat? I'm starving!"
Then he remembered, "I brought your gift with me. Wait, let's eat first."
Ye Tianhui: "Hmm?"
There are people who are not in a hurry to get gifts. Are they still human?
Gu Shizhang held her fingers together and said, "Eat first, and give it to me later."
As he said this, he looked at her with a smile, and his dry, warm fingertips gently rubbed her little finger:
"Since you're out now, I'll treat you to a meal first. If you don't give me a gift, I'll detain you and won't let you go home."
Ye Tianhui snorted: "I'll beat you up!"
Gu Shizhang laughed and said, "Little girl, don't keep talking about fighting and killing all the time."
Ye Tianhui: "That's how I am!"
Gu Shizhang smiled and asked, "Are you like this to your dad too?"
Ye Tianhui thought of the past, blinked her eyes, and said innocently: "It was just a verbal threat, I didn't really beat him up."
Gu Shizhang wanted to laugh even more: "You——"
Ye Tianhui remembered something: "Oh, my dad also said that some men look like gentlemen at first glance, but they are actually hypocrites. When they see a girl, they don't know what they think."
She smiled and said, "It seems a bit like what you said before."
Gu Shizhang: “…”
He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
I shouldn't have felt so jealous in the first place and added insult to injury to Ye Lixuan. Now I'm getting my revenge.
No matter what, he was her closest blood relative in this life, so she had to tolerate him.
He raised his handsome eyebrows and said with a smile: "Okay, let's eat."
Ye Tianhui: "What to eat——"
Halfway through her words, she smelled the aroma of seafood.
This is a small dock, but the shore is piled with containers, and there are densely packed ships moored along the dock, including large cruise ships and small fishing boats. There are many trucks lined up nearby to pick up goods, and many bare-chested workers are working hard to unload the goods.
Gu Shizhang held Ye Tianhui's hand and walked among the crowd: "According to the government plan, this place will be reclaimed soon."
Ye Tianhui was a little surprised: "Then I won't be able to see such a sea view."
Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "Yes, but there will be new scenery."
Ye Tianhui thought of the Ye family's land in Sha Tin. If it could be reclaimed and developed, there would indeed be great potential. However, how the government would plan it was still unknown.
The interests involved are so huge that it is no wonder that the Ye family is willing to spend a huge amount of money on it.
As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the market by the sea. It would be better to call it a food stall than a market. There were densely packed barbecue stalls, all of which were next to the sea. Next to the sea were various fishing boats. People walked along the wet steps onto the fishing boats to pick out the delicious food just caught from the sea.
The air was filled with the aroma of grilled seafood, accompanied by the sizzling sound of frying, which made people drool.
Ye Tianhui couldn't wait any longer. She shook Gu Shizhang's hand and said, "Eat, eat, eat quickly! What are we eating?"
Gu Shizhang looked at her shining eyes and said with a smile, "Let's go to the fishing boat and pick out the big and fresh ones."
Ye Tianhui: “Hmmmm!”
So Gu Shizhang took her to the fishing boat. It was very popular here. Some grandmas came with baskets to choose. Because there were different kinds of seafood, big and small, they had to be quick to find those with good value for money.
Gu Shizhang obviously couldn't compete with those old ladies, but he could pick the biggest, freshest and most expensive ones.
In the end, Gu Shizhang picked out a very large cuttlefish, two large fish balls, fresh yellow croaker roe, and some shrimps. Then he saw lobsters from another fishing boat and simply ordered a large lobster.
Ye Tianhui: "It seems a bit too much."
Gu Shizhang: "We can try everything."
He carried the dripping bag and led Ye Tianhui to the shore. The bluestone road on the shore was a little wet, but the seafood stalls on the roadside were all frying, grilling, and deep-frying. There was a strong smell of fireworks, and the air was filled with a charming and delicious aroma.
Gu Shizhang found a stall with words like "Lemon stewed with tangerine peel and rock sugar" and "Hawthorn stewed with purple clam and sky-kui" written in crooked handwriting, and "wood-fired stew" written in small words below.
Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "Let's do it here."
Ye Tianhui was already drooling at the sight, so she didn't care where else to go. She just went wherever he said.
Gu Shizhang went up to the boss and asked him to help with the cooking and pay him. The boss readily agreed, took the seafood from him and helped to cook it.
The two of them sat at a makeshift wooden table nearby and ordered the hawthorn stewed with purple clam and angelica, as well as almond cakes and lake walnuts.
The drink was indeed freshly brewed, with a rich flavor, sweet and sour and refreshing.
Gu Shizhang asked Ye Tianhui to drink the drink while he rolled up his sleeves and went over to help. Ye Tianhui looked over and saw that the yellow croaker roe and shrimp were to be grilled over charcoal and were already placed on the barbecue grill.
She was curious: "Can you?"
Gu Shizhang raised his eyes and looked at Ye Tianhui with a smile: "You can try my cooking skills."
The boss next to him heard this and said with a big smile: "Sister, your boyfriend is very capable, you are so lucky."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Then you roast it. I want it to be cooked to the perfect temperature, neither too raw nor too burnt!"
Gu Shizhang: "Okay."
Ye Tianhui sat aside, tasting almond cakes, drinking drinks, and watching Gu Shizhang grill fish.
The sun shone down from the seaside, and Gu Shizhang rolled up his sleeves, revealing a pair of strong and firm forearms.
His wrist bones looked very strong. He held a large pair of pliers in his hand and skillfully turned the yellow croaker roe over.
As the charcoal fire roasts, the yellow croaker roe and shrimp make a sizzling sound, the moisture is roasted out, and the aroma of the seafood is evaporated with the charcoal fire.
Ye Tianhui was drooling with greed. She wanted to eat, she wanted to eat!
Gu Shizhang looked up at her with a smile and said, "Do you have an appetite?"
Ye Tianhui sat aside: "Well! Hurry up!"
Gu Shizhang looked over and saw the girl in the sunshine, full of youth. The slanting sunlight sprinkled on her face, dyeing her eyelashes golden and making her skin look translucent and clean.
But she was sitting with her legs crossed, looking relaxed and at ease, as if she was ordering people around.
His smile grew more helpless, and he flipped the shrimp over and asked, "Do you know why charcoal-grilled food is so tempting?"
Ye Tianhui: "Why?"
Gu Shizhang: "I think it's because in ancient times, the only delicacy humans could get was barbecued game. For a long time, the combination of charcoal fire and game was humanity's longest and most profound food memory. It's written into our genes, so much so that even the mere smell of it piques our appetite."
Ye Tianhui: “…”
She raised an eyebrow helplessly.
There was some truth to it, but she didn't want to hear it.
She just wants to eat.
Gu Shizhang naturally saw what she was thinking. He sighed, "Okay, you can eat now, you little glutton."
Ye Tianhui didn't care about the nickname he gave her. Anyway, he did the work and grilled, and she could get something in return. She got the benefits, so she didn't care about these things.
She quickly stood up, walked over and took the plate, and Gu Shizhang put the grilled yellow croaker roe and shrimp on her plate.
He was indeed an excellent cook, controlling the heat just right and roasting the yellow croaker until it was crispy.
Ye Tianhui took a bite and found it had a burnt and slightly crispy texture, and the rich sweet aroma of fish roe was so delicious that it almost melted her tongue.
So delicious!
Ye Tianhui: "You can bake something else."
Gu Shizhang, however, had already taken a tissue and wiped his fingers, then sat over and said, "Let the boss grill it, I want some too."
Ye Tianhui: "Okay."
At this time, the boss had already prepared the lobster for them and put it on the grill.
The two of them ate grilled shrimp and grilled yellow croaker roe. Soon the lobster was also grilled. The big mouthfuls of shrimp meat were extremely fresh and fragrant. Ye Tianhui ate very satisfied.
Gu Shizhang ate slowly, calmly and elegantly, and occasionally picked up a tissue to help Ye Tianhui wipe her mouth.
At this time, the sea breeze blew, and at a glance, there were large sheds in the distance. The old sliding doors of the sheds were brightly colored, reflecting the blue sky and the clear sea. Everything was clear and vivid, and this was the scent of sunshine and sea water.
This is also the flavor of life in Hong Kong, a life that is full of flavor.
Ye Tianhui enjoyed the delicious taste with satisfaction, and also enjoyed Gu Shizhang's care for her.
Suddenly, she raised her eyes and stared at Gu Shizhang.
The sky and sea water at the seaside are fresh and bright. The sunlight shines through the blue sky, giving the world a layer of bright warmth.
He sat against the light, casting a shadow on his face, but it made his features more distinct, handsome and elegant.
His short black hair was a little messy due to the wind, which made him look a little youthful, unlike his usual elegance and calmness.
When she looked at him like this, he obviously felt it, and his dark eyes looked at her steadily. When their eyes met, there was a silent ambiguity flowing in the air.
After a while, Ye Tianhui finally spoke: "The yellow croaker you grilled is so delicious."
He looked at her silently, his gaze focused and intense, with a hint of anticipation in it.
Ye Tianhui met his gaze and smiled, "I like it very much."
Gu Shizhang: "Hmm?"
The byte he uttered was low, deep and warm, as if sliding from his throat.
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "I think you are much better than my dad. It would be great if you were my dad!"
After saying this, Gu Shizhang's expression froze slightly.
Afterwards, he looked at her with an indescribable look: "Ye Tianhui, take back what you said."
He gritted his teeth slightly: "Otherwise, I will never give you grilled fish again in my life."
