Chapter 737: 737. Don’t carry a psychological burden

"It’s just eating some barbecue skewers, you don’t need to feel burdened. After all, we are traveling together. Helping with the barbecue doesn’t mean anything special."

Since Gu Junhang had already said that, it would seem too pretentious for Xia Yumo to refuse.

Moreover, she was already unable to resist the enticing aroma. Once Gu Junhang finished speaking, she immediately picked up a squid skewer without further ado and brought it to her lips.

The taste that conquered her taste buds instantly made her eyes light up.

Gu Junhang looked at her familiar expression and the corner of his mouth hooked slightly.

Still so gluttonous.

The next second, he saw Xia Yumo’s eyes suddenly dimming. Even though she was still eating, the sparkle in her eyes just now was clearly gone.

Gu Junhang didn’t know what she was thinking. Even if he wanted to understand what was in her heart at this moment, he knew that she had ruthlessly shut him out.

His gaze didn’t linger on Xia Yumo’s face for too long. He only left her a message, "Take your time eating," then returned to the barbecue grill.

There was still a full plate of squid skewers in front of Xia Yumo, as she held an unfinished one in her hand.

The familiar taste brought back painful memories for Xia Yumo, and her eyes suddenly stung. The deliciousness she had been enjoying now felt like chewing wax.

She took a bite of the food in her mouth, but the lump in her throat felt like a huge boulder, no matter how finely she chewed, she couldn’t swallow.

Her eyes downcast, remembering the four years with Gu Junhang because of the taste in her mouth.

Since she liked barbecue, he would often buy ingredients and cook for her at home, worrying that the outside food might be unclean.

Those sweet, yet heart-piercing memories made the sourness in Xia Yumo’s eyes seem as if it would overflow at any moment.

Qiao Xu noticed Xia Yumo’s sudden silence and looked at the plate full of grilled squid in front of her, silently sighing.

After a long time, Xia Yumo put down the bamboo skewer in her hand, and the rest of the plate, and said to Qiao Xu:

"I’m feeling a bit sleepy, I want to go back to the villa and rest for a while, you guys continue playing."

With that, she stood up and walked towards the villa. Qiao Xu didn’t call after her, knowing that she must be feeling uneasy at the moment.

Meanwhile, Gu Junhang looked worriedly in her direction, his eyebrows knitted unconsciously.

After Xia Yumo entered the villa, Qiao Xu picked up the plate of food in front of her and said to Lu Moqing:

"I’m going to check on Mo Mo."

Although Lu Moqing didn’t want his wife to leave him again, he reluctantly agreed.

Qiao Xu looked at his aggrieved little-wife-like expression and couldn’t help but laugh, tiptoed up and gave him a peck on the face.

"There, you’re jealous even of my best friend, shameless."

Lu Moqing only snorted disdainfully in response.

Who was it that said she was into both men and women?

Initially, he was already tired of fending off those sketchy men outside, and now he had to watch out for a woman as well.

Qiao Xu ignored the man who was drowning in his jealousy, picked up the plate and headed to the villa.

"Qiao Xu."

Just a few steps away, Gu Junhang at the barbecue grill called out to her.

She turned her head and saw him holding a plate full of cooked squid, mackerel, chicken wings, and walked towards her.
