"Ah! Don't say that!" Thinking of the awkward situation between the two of them just now, Qiu Mengyun was furious. She immediately glared at Xia Tian, signaling him not to mention what had just happened.
Xia Tian also knew that although he had not done this on purpose, it was the girl who suffered the loss after all. He did not dwell on what had just happened and chose to keep quiet.
"I'm so annoyed. How am I going to face people later with these two black handprints?"
Qiu Mengyun complained as she wiped the stains off her face and hands with wet wipes.
"Actually, you don't have to worry at all. Aren't there many clothes now that have two hands printed on them intentionally? Anyway, it's night time now, and as long as you don't say anything, others won't be able to tell that these two handprints were put there later. As long as you pretend nothing happened, they will definitely think that these were printed there when you bought the clothes, and it will be fine." Xia Tian smiled and comforted.
"Hmph! Don't think I don't know that the patterns printed on other people's clothes are all on the bottom. Usually they are drawn with two hands holding up something, not like these two on my clothes, which are pressed on from the top down." Qiu Mengyun said unhappily.
"Oh! I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. How about I make two more handprints for you below?" Xia Tian joked with a smile.
"Go to hell. I'm telling you, you must not tell anyone about this, otherwise I won't go to the graduation ceremony in a week." Qiu Mengyun threatened sinisterly.
"Don't worry! We just came out to eat some barbecue skewers today, and nothing happened during the meal." Xia Tian quickly assured.
"You're smart!"
After this incident, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became less harmonious. Xia Tian was already asking for help, and now that he had made the mistake, he didn't dare to say anything more, fearing that something he said would upset this young lady and cause her to stand him up at the graduation ceremony next week. That would be a problem for him. Even if he didn't actually lose his diploma, it would still be enough to give him a headache for a while.
Without Qiu Mengyun's interruptions, Xia Tian focused all his attention on the barbecue. Soon, the two skewers of chicken wings and a few skewers of lamb on his barbecue grill began to emit a fragrant aroma.
Xiatian was not in a hurry. He skillfully turned the skewers over, brushed them with oil again, and continued to grill them.
Qiu Mengyun, who had been silent the whole time, finally couldn't help but ask after smelling the fragrance coming from Xia Tian. "Xia Tian, are your skewers cooked? I can smell that they are already cooked. Aren't you going to pick them up and grill another batch? If you don't, they will be overcooked soon."
Xia Tian smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, even though it's cooked now, it's not hot enough yet. It needs to be grilled for a while longer. Wait a while, when the meat is roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside, it will be most delicious."
Looking at the dry meat skewers in front of her, and then at the golden and sizzling grilled skewers over there, Qiu Mengyun swallowed subconsciously.
"Haha, I happen to be free right now. Why don't you bring me a bunch and I'll help you taste it to see if it's cooked."
"Don't worry, it will be almost done in two minutes. I'll give you two skewers then." Xia Tian naturally saw through Qiu Mengyun's little thoughts, but he didn't expose them, lest the woman get angry and threaten him with next week's graduation ceremony.
After grilling for more than two minutes, the aroma on Xia Tian's side became more and more intense. Qiu Mengyun had long forgotten the skewers on her own stove and stood there staring at the tempting skewers in front of Xia Tian.
Xiatian picked up the skewers in front of him and skillfully sprinkled the cumin, chili powder, pepper salt and other seasonings in the bag evenly on the skewers in his hand.
"Is it ready? Give me two skewers to try." Seeing that everything was done, Qiu Mengyun immediately stretched out her hand impatiently.
Xia Tian did not share the skewers in his hand with her, but picked up a skewer of lamb and put it directly into his mouth.
"Hmm! Not bad, the texture and taste of the fat and lean parts are just right. It seems my cooking skills are still not rusty."
After finishing the kebab of lamb in his hand in no time, Xia Tian said with satisfaction.
"You, don't be too..."
Seeing that Xia Tian was eating happily and ignoring herself, Qiu Mengyun complained dissatisfiedly.
But before she could finish her words, "Don't go too far," Xia Tian stuffed a bunch of grilled chicken wings into her mouth, shutting it up. She instinctively took a bite. The golden, crispy shell of the chicken wing was incredibly delicious. The chicken inside wasn't overcooked at all; it was tender, delicate, and fragrant, with even some of the juices dripping down the corners of her mouth.
Qiu Mengyun subconsciously closed her eyes, greedily chewing the delicious food in her hand while showing a happy smile.
Seeing her greedy face, which looked like she was starving, Xia Tian couldn't help but tease her, "What don't I want? Oh, I see. You must think that what I bake isn't as delicious as what you bake yourself. You think that by giving you food, I'm looking down on your cooking skills, right? Don't worry, I absolutely respect your cooking skills and your personal wishes. Let's eat our own food from now on."
Qiu Mengyun, who was originally still savoring the meal with her eyes closed, could no longer sit still when she heard Xia Tian say that he would stop feeding her.
"No, I just wanted to say that your cooking skills are amazing. These skewers you grilled are simply too delicious."
To enjoy Xia Tian's delicious grilled food, Qiu Mengyun had already thrown all dignity and moral integrity to the wind. What was the point of those empty things? How could they compare to the delicious food before her? Especially when she saw the dry, blackened lamb skewers grilled in front of her, her eyes turned to Xia Tian with even more tenderness.
