Chapter 98: Get Master Sheng to Find An Excuse
When Yu Xi saw Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling both head to the kitchen, he thought that the situation was quite strange.
Yu Xi turned around and said to the other people, “I’m very sorry. I didn’t know you guys were going to turn up. We had only bought enough ingredients for five people…”
The original barbecue was meant for five people. And now, it had suddenly increased to eleven!
He Yan quickly replied, “As long as you don’t mind that we join you, I’ll go and arrange for the remainder of the ingredients.”
It was such a rare opportunity to have a meal with Master Sheng. She definitely was not about to miss out on it!
Yu Xi smiled lightly, “You must be teasing me. This is the Old Jian Residence. Why would we mind? I’ll leave the remainder of the ingredients to you then. I’ll go help out in the kitchen.”
With that, Yu Xi picked up the remaining bags and headed off to the kitchen.
As soon as he entered, Yu Xi saw Jian Yiling holding a kitchen knife in her hand.
She was cutting the meat that they had just bought into thin and even slices.
Other than the steak, the other meat was sliced incredibly thin.
Jian Yujie was opening the scallops. His actions seemed quite clumsy.
Whilst the other two were busy, Zhai Yunsheng stood there and watched them.
As Yu Xi approached, he saw Jian Yiling hold the kitchen knife.
The knife that she was holding looked bigger than her hand!
When Yu Xi saw what was happening, he had the instinct to grab the knife off her. He would have switched it to a smaller one.
However, when he thought about how he had gotten carried in the past few days, he realized that it probably wasn’t needed for him to do so. It’s better for him to just stay by the sideline and cheer her on.
He had a new nickname for Yiling. God Ling was what he had been calling her in the past few days.
Whilst he was incredibly confused when he had gotten carried by Jian Yiling the first time, by the second time, he had gotten used to it. By then, he even started to flatter Jian Yiling.
Throughout the game, Yu Xi kept yelling, “That’s sick Master Sheng!,” or “Holy, that’s so cool God Ling!” He was incredibly good at flattering them.
If he was getting carried, the least he could do was flatter them.
When he saw Jian Yiling slice the meat, he realized that he didn’t need to worry. Jian Yiling was incredibly stable and steady with her knife technique.
She was much better than Yu Xi. In fact, probably miles better than him.
To be honest, a dog would probably cut the meat up better than him… He would have cut up chunks of meat that looked like they had been gnawed through.
Besides that, Yu Xi began worrying about another thing. A matter that both Yu Xi and Master Sheng knew about. The situation between Jian Yiling and Jian Yunnao.
As of now, Jian Yunnao was outside. He didn’t know how their God Ling was feeling. Yu Xi was worried that she felt bad.
When he thought about this, Yu Xi couldn’t help but suggest, “God–, cough. Yiling, if you’re unhappy, let’s just go out and eat. If we need an excuse, we will just get Master Sheng to find one!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a sharp look from Zhai Yunsheng.
All of a sudden, Yu Xi felt bad. However, it wouldn’t work out if he tried to look for an excuse. Only Master Sheng could find one.
After all, Master Sheng was famous for his willfulness…
He was known for being well-behaved. How could a good boy like him kidnap the girl next door?
After Jian Yujie heard Yu Xi’s words, he paused as well.
Although he wasn’t clear about the situation, he had heard about bits and pieces of it. The atmosphere just then was also quite strange.
This time, Jian Yujie agreed to Yu Xi’s idea, “He’s right. Let’s go out and eat.”
“It’s fine,” Jian Yiling replied. She shook her head.
Jian Yiling knew that her parents had brought Jian Yunnao over today in hopes that they’d get along together.
If she had any conflict with Jian Yunnao today, everyone, including her grandparents, would feel bad.
After his suggestion had gotten rejected by Jian Yiling, Yu Xi turned around to look at Zhai Yunsheng. He wanted to seek Master Sheng’s opinion on the matter. At the same time, he also wanted Master Sheng to persuade Jian Yiling.
Previously, Master Sheng had seemed quite concerned about God Ling’s matters.
“Don’t look at me. I’m only here to eat.” Zhai Yunsheng replied. He leaned against the sink and looked idle.
