34 The Female Guests’ Collective Stubbornness (1 / 2)
Fang Zhou returned to his room, still shaken, and dove into the soft comforter.
The scene kept replaying in his mind, still unbelievable.
It was hard to imagine what Chu Xinran had gone through in the past two years, transforming from a pure girl into this.
He began to reflect, was it really because of that one thing he said?
A careless speaker, a listener with intent, she couldn’t have taken it seriously, could she?
Oh God, Fang Zhou suddenly felt he deserved to die, for turning a pure and beautiful girl into someone who would throw herself at men.
But more than that, Chu Xinran’s self-harm was even more concerning.
Although she denied his claim, insisting it wasn’t because of him that she hurt herself, Fang Zhou couldn’t help feeling uneasy.
He decided that he should still try to reach out to Chu Xinran when he had the chance, just to be cautious of her sudden outbursts.
As he thought, his mind became muddled, and the things before his eyes grew blurry.
Finally, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, and when he woke up again, it was already dark outside.
Fang Zhou leaped out of bed, grabbed his phone to check the time, and it was already 7:30 PM.
From noble mtl dot come
No one had come to call him? Strange.
Regardless, it was his and Qiao Sisi’s turn to cook today, surely someone would have come to get him for that?
Could it be that everyone was not hungry yet?
After tidying up a bit, Fang Zhou went downstairs to see what everyone was doing.
To his surprise, in the living room downstairs, only Han Xi, Qin Yun, and Dong Donghui were there, holding wooden skewers, seemingly threading something on them.
“Yo, Fang Zhou, you’re awake, come and help!”
Dong Donghui spotted Fang Zhou immediately and waved at him with a smile.
“What are you guys doing? Why didn’t anyone call me?”
He asked as he descended the stairs, puzzled.
“Well, we thought since you guys fell into the water and you saved someone, you needed rest. So we figured, why not just have a barbecue tonight?”
“It’s fun when everyone helps out, and you guys can rest a bit more.”
Dong Donghui then picked up the skewers in his hand to show him.
“Here, isn’t this preparing the ingredients? It’s almost ready; would you like to give it a try?”
The other two girls turned their heads to look at Fang Zhou, each with different thoughts in their eyes.
Qin Yun smiled gently and chimed in, “If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, you could also go out and help with the grilling.”
“They should have the fire ready soon.”
She always managed social situations with grace, leaving no room for criticism, only the impression of a gentle and intelligent big sister.
Fang Zhou’s eyes dimmed slightly as he replied softly, “I see, thank you for considering me. I’ll go out and help then.”
“That canopy could be taken out and set up; it makes for a good photo backdrop.”
Han Xi, usually reticent, took the rare initiative to speak.
Following her gaze, Fang Zhou indeed spotted a canopy in the corner.
“Alright, I’ll go set it up.”
He nodded, picked up the tools, and headed for the door.
A hundred meters from the villa, he saw his busy companions.
Fang Zhou walked briskly over and immediately saw Sun Haotian and others tending the fire.
“Cough cough cough, finally got the fire going, not an easy feat.”
Tang Wan stood to the side, choking on the smoke, stepping back while sighing, and then caught sight of Fang Zhou, quickly greeting him.
“Fang Zhou! You’re finally awake!”
The sweet girl’s voice was as pleasant as a songbird’s, lifting one’s spirits.
34 Female Guests Stand Their Ground (2/2)
After placing the items in his hands on the sand, Fang Zhou greeted everyone before getting to work.
Setting up the canopy wasn’t difficult; it just required the right method and more hands.
“Everyone, come give a hand!”
Fang Zhou simply called over a few idle people. Each grabbed a corner, threaded the ropes through, and then hammered the tools into the sand to secure it.
The two middle iron rods were also inserted, and with that, the job was done.
“Not bad at all, now if we bring in the tables and chairs, it will be perfect!”
Qi Le and a few others joined forces with Fang Zhou to move everything in, leaving only one grill on the side.
“Great, everything’s in place, just missing the east wind!”
Sun Haotian was already rubbing his hands together, ready to start grilling.
Once Qin Yun and the others brought out the skewered ingredients, the barbecue began.
Sun Haotian was an expert in this area, and the food he made was indeed tastier than the average person’s.
Whether it was the control of the fire or the presentation.
Fangzhou also volunteered to help grill a few skewers, but they ended up either charred or burnt, drawing laughter from everyone.
“Hahaha, Fangzhou, you’ve grilled them a bit too much!”
“Why don’t you just leave them there, and we’ll eat them later if we really run out of food?”
Qi Le pointed at the skewers on the table, laughing without any mercy.
On the white plate, Fangzhou’s five or six blackened skewers, unrecognizable as to what they were, contrasted sharply with Sun Haotian’s perfectly grilled ones, full of color, aroma, and flavor.
Anyone who saw them would have a laugh.
Even the audience in the live stream couldn’t help but send a barrage of comments.
“Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter, what even is that? Fangzhou wouldn’t dare to eat it himself, right?”
“Cough cough, when God opens a door for you, he surely closes a window. Indeed, nobody’s perfect.”
“Hey! Little dark one! You’ve shown your true colors now!”
But their laughter didn’t last long.
In their view, the highly-anticipated female star, Qiao Sisi, actually took the initiative to pick up a blackened skewer and took a bite.
After finishing, she still smiled and told everyone, “Actually, it’s not bad, it just looks unappetizing, but the taste is okay.”
Everyone looked at Qiao Sisi in disbelief, utterly shocked.
She, a pampered female star, was willing to risk tasting it?
Then, to the astonishment of everyone, Qin Yun also picked up a black grilled skewer and put it in her mouth.
While eating, she nodded and said, “Indeed, it’s edible.”
Following her, Han Xi, Chu Xinran, Tang Wan, and other female guests all tried Fangzhou’s skewers, reaching the same conclusion.
“It’s really not bad, just a bit ugly.”
Fangzhou tugged at the corner of his mouth, thinking: I hope you’re just being stubborn.
Because even he wasn’t sure if those skewers were actually edible.
However, their actions still shocked many people.
!!! Really? The skewers that looked so terrible, the goddesses actually tried them?
After eating their fill, Qi Le, who always loved to stir things up, became active again.
“Brothers and sisters! Today is a good day, let’s play Truth or Dare!”
Everyone turned their heads to look at him, “Are you serious?”
Qi Le nodded firmly, already taking out a wine bottle from who knows where, placing it on the table, and excitedly said, “Yes! Come on, it’s all about the thrill!”
Fangzhou: Can I refuse?
