Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Barbecue Party

Watching Chen Wei skillfully handle various ingredients, Lee Yoo-sim and Zhao Minshan, girls who were born with silver spoons and had never actually cooked for themselves, were full of amazement.

"So you have to soak the blood out of chicken wings like this first? No wonder the ones I barbecued before had a bloody smell."

"Barbecued? Yours weren’t even cooked properly," the biggest victim of the ordeal, Kim Nam Joo, couldn’t help but complain.

"It was cooked afterward," Lee Yoo-sim retorted.

"Yeah, not only was it cooked, but it was also overdone. One bite, and all you got was the taste of char," Kim Nam Joo shot back.

"..." Lee Yoo-sim was at a loss for words, only able to accept the fact that she was a kitchen idiot.

But, since everyone was a kitchen idiot, she didn’t mind.

"Charcoal can be arranged like this?" Zhao Minshan commented with surprise, observing the charcoal stacked in a stepped formation on the grill.

"That’s clever. The hotter spots can be used for grilling harder-to-cook food, while the cooler spots are for those ingredients that cook easily," Kim Nam Joo added.

Lee Yoo-sim stood by, seriously learning and taking notes.

She wasn’t content to be a kitchen idiot for life.

As a woman of the new era, not knowing how to cook always felt like something was amiss.

She had to learn to prevent future criticism.

A few minutes later, the ingredients began to cook through one after another, the meats sizzling and oozing fat. Chen Wei sprinkled on a special barbecue seasoning mix, combining with the scent of the charcoal. The delicious aroma had the girls salivating wildly with anticipation.

"It smells so good! It really smells fantastic!"

"Yeah, it looks so tempting, and it’s not burnt at all."

"Oh my god! Is this really the same ingredients, the same grill? The difference is too great."

"When can we eat? I’m seriously dying of craving here."

Seeing several girls holding their stomachs and rumbling with hunger, swallowing saliva incessantly,

Chen Wei swept his hands inward from both sides of the grill, rolled it up, and with two large handfuls of barbecue in his grasp, he placed them onto an iron plate, smiling, "You can eat now."

"Yay!" Zhao Minshan and Kim Nam Joo immediately picked up the iron plate and walked over to the folding table, no longer able to contain themselves.

"Aren’t you going to eat?" Lee Yoo-sim, seeing Chen Wei preparing the next batch of ingredients and not rushing to follow the others, asked.

"You guys go ahead. I’ll finish grilling the remaining ingredients so they don’t lose their freshness and original flavor," Chen Wei replied.

"Yoo-sim, come over and eat quickly, it’s really good! I’ve never had barbecue this delicious before."

"Alright." Getting a response, Lee Yoo-sim walked towards an excited Zhao Minshan.

Picking up a skewer of beef rolls with enoki mushrooms from the tray and taking a bite, Lee Yoo-sim’s eyes widened with delight.

Just a moment ago, she thought Zhao Minshan and Kim Nam Joo were being a bit too dramatic.

But now, after having personally tasted Chen Wei’s barbecue, Lee Yoo-sim felt as though she had opened the door to a new world.

The phrase "color, fragrance, and taste complete" seemed tailor-made for this barbecue.

So delicious! So flavorful!

It was baffling; with the same ingredients, the same grill, and even the same charcoal, how could the difference be so vast?

But at that moment, she was more focused on filling her belly, one bite following another, with no sign of stopping.

"Cough cough cough!"

"..."

It wasn’t until she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye of Chen Wei coughing due to a sudden gust of wind blowing against him, choking on the barbecue smoke and drenched in sweat,

that she felt very apologetic and indebted to Chen Wei, recalling her previous attitude towards him.

So, she picked up a few skewers of barbecue, stood up, and walked over to Chen Wei.

"Hey! Yoo-sim, what are you..." Zhao Minshan puzzledly turned her gaze toward Lee Yoo-sim as she removed a chicken wing bone from her mouth.

By that time, Lee Yoo-sim had already approached Chen Wei and, mustering her courage, proffered the skewer of meat in her hand to him.

Her lips parted slightly, but again she hesitated to speak.

Seeing her like this, Chen Wei didn’t say much and simply took a bite, devouring the fatty and lean meat on the skewer.

"..." Watching the skewer devoured by Chen Wei, Lee Yoo-sim’s beautiful eyes quivered, and she felt a mixture of emotions.

Kim Min-sun, Kim Nam Joo, and a few other girls witnessed the scene with wide-open eyes, looking at each other in disbelief.

The Lee Yoo-sim who was unwilling to make contact with boys, who felt disgusted, repulsed, and was even thought to prefer girls, the famous school beauty Lee Da, was actually initiating contact with a man!

And it wasn’t just any contact—she was personally feeding him barbecue, one skewer after another...

If word of this were to get out, surely not many would believe it.

"Hey! Do you guys think Yoo-sim might actually like him?" Zhao Minshan raised her hand to her mouth, whispering in a voice only a few could hear.

"It’s not very likely, probably just a simple act of gratitude, thanking him. You know, Yoo-sim is the last person who likes to owe favors," Kim Nam Joo shook her head, expressing her opinion.

"Indeed," Zhao Minshan let out a long sigh of relief.

If Lee Yoo-sim truly had developed feelings for Chen Wei, then she herself would stand no chance and would have to give up.

Although she herself was also acknowledged as a goddess by the school, both in terms of body and looks, she was slightly inferior to Lee Yoo-sim.

If she had to say, her comparative advantage was probably that she was more... bold?

Less prickly, making her more approachable.

Just this year, Lee Yoo-sim had rejected more than fifty confessions at school alone.

Those boys didn’t know how heavy the blows were.

In their eyes, Lee Yoo-sim had already become a "flower on a high cliff," to be admired from afar but not to be trifled with.

On the other hand, Lee Yoo-sim herself, for some unknown reason, felt a peculiar sense of... satisfaction while feeding Chen Wei the barbeque?

Despite her unwillingness to admit it, it was indeed a sense of satisfaction, no doubt about it.

It wasn’t until after she had fed him a dozen or so skewers that she suddenly came to her senses, her cheeks burning red.

"Then I won’t bother you anymore." Having said that, she turned and went back to her seat.

Feeling the stares of Zhao Minshan, Kim Nam Joo, and the others upon her, her pretty face was scorching hot, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to burrow into.

What on earth was she doing?

Explain?

She was very aware that any explanation now would only make things worse, so it was better to say nothing at all.

Zhao Minshan and Kim Nam Joo found Lee Yoo-sim’s behavior quite strange but did not ask any further.

Some things are better understood than spoken.

Continue to eat the barbeque, keep eating the barbeque.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Wei brought up two large plates of barbecue to the table, and also specially prepared a lighter-tasting portion for Leng Qianqian, who was resting upstairs.

After bidding farewell to Lee Yoo-sim, Zhao Minshan, and others, he entered the villa and decided to go upstairs to find Leng Qianqian.

Chen Wei knew she was already craving it.

He had clearly felt her standing by the window earlier, sneaking glances down.

Upstairs.

Arriving in front of the second-floor room.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Senior sister, I’m coming in." After knocking on the door, he pushed it open and entered.
