Upon hearing Jing Zhichen describing Qie Yiyan like that, Mai Yatang naturally became protective of Qie Yiyan.

“You can’t call my Brother Yiyan fat, Brother Yiyan isn’t fat at all.”

Upon seeing Jing Zhichen’s innocent, pure eyes, Jing Zhichen was instantly at a loss of what to say. Feeling a little embarrassed, he tried to explain himself, “He used to be really fat.”

“I don’t care how fate he was in the past. But from now on, you can’t call Brother Yiyan Fatty Qie anymore. Firstly, that’s very disrespectful toward him, secondly, he’s not fat, do you understand?”

“Yes.”

As a big man, Jing Zhichen couldn’t bring himself to argue with a little girl like Mai Yatang about this.

In this heart, he was even feeling a little jealous.

He badly wished that there could be a woman who would try to protect him like this.

“I’ll go cook the skewers.”

Jing Zhichen and Shangguan Ling set up the charcoal grill. The fire slowly burned the charcoal, causing it to turn red.

All of the food that Jing Zhichen brought over were semi-finished products, they just need to cook it over the grill before eating.

“Shangguan Ling, I’ll cook the food. You go there and see if Tianxin needs any help on her side?”

As a good matchmaker, it was his duty to frequently create opportunities for the two of them.

Shangguan Ling lowered his voice and said, “Nevermind, that’s too intentional.”

Ling Zhichen kicked Shangguang Ling on his food and cursed softly, “coward.”

He’s never seen someone so cowardly.

If he liked Ye TIanxin, he should go up to up directly.

He’s not being very manly with all this reluctance and hesitation.

“Tianxin, help me take a look, is this meat cooked?”

Jing Zhichen called out to her and asked.

Ye Tianxin put aside what she was doing and walked to Jing Zhichen. She glanced at the pork belly that he was cooking, it was so overcooked that there was oil dripping out of it, but there was a very rich aroma of roasted meat in the air.

“Zhichen, did you put other spices?”

Jing Zhichen looked at Ye Tianxin with a shocked expression and said, “Do I need to put other spices? The helper at home said that all these ingredients are marinated in advance, I thought I just need to grill them and they’ll be ready to eat.”

“Of course, we need to add some other ingredients.”

Ye Tianxin quickly sprinkled some spices on the meat, which instantly made the aroma even more fragrant than before.

Ye Tianxin wasn’t a big fan of barbeque food per se.

However, when she’s in an environment like this, perhaps even Ye TIanxin would find barbeque food very delicious.

“Mai Yatang, come here and eat barbecue meat.”

Mai Yatang hopped over to Qie Yiyan who was fishing by the side of the lake.

“Brother Yiyan, barbecue meat.”

Qie Yiyan was focused on fishing, he said, “I’m not hungry, you can eat it.”

Mai Yatang’s voice was delicate and sweet.

“C’mon, Brother Yiyan, just one bite.”

Mai Yatang wanted Qie Yiyan to take a bite no matter what. Qie Yiyan couldn’t help it, so he reluctantly took a bite of the barbecue meat.

“Not bad, it’s pretty delicious.”

“Really?”

Mai Yatang hopped away to cook more meat. Before long, she had barbecued a whole lot of meat for Qie Yiyan.

“Wow… that’s lovey-dovey.”

Jing Zhichen took out his phone. Just as he was about to use his phone to ask where his blind-date partner was, the sound of a car engine came closer from afar.

Jing Zhichen left Ye Tianxin and the others and walked to the car which had just come to a halt.

A young girl wearing a cotton and linen woven dress came down from the car.

“You’re here? I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to find the place and was just about to go fetch you.”

The girl smiled sweetly at Jing Zhichen and said, “What if my acting isn’t good enough and they found out about the truth?”

Jing Zhichen laughed and said, “Nah that won’t happen, just interact with me as you normally would.”

“Tianxin, allow me to introduce. This is Bai Yizhi, she’s a student at the Academy of Fine Arts. Yizhi, this is Tianxin, my cousin. That’s my friend Shangguan Ling, and that’s Mai Yatang and Qie Yiyan, they’re all my friends.”
