Chapter 20: 020: Watch the road, walk carefully

"Give it to me." Jiang Baizhou stretched out his long arm when he saw the situation.

Upon hearing this, Cen Jin handed him the tongs, which he deftly used to cut the pork belly into small pieces with scissors. When the first piece was done grilling, Jiang Baizhou wrapped it in a piece of perilla and placed it in her bowl.

"Thank you." Cen Jin smiled serenely, not pretending to refuse, and directly picked it up with chopsticks and ate it. She nodded with satisfaction, "Hmm, it’s delicious. It’s exactly the taste I missed."

Jiang Baizhou didn’t speak, silently grilling the meat on the board. Each time a piece was finished, he placed it in Cen Jin’s bowl first.

By the fourth piece, Cen Jin was a little embarrassed to eat, as he hadn’t had a single bite yet and was constantly grilling for her. Looking at the freshly placed grilled meat in her bowl, Cen Jin quietly reached for another pair of tongs, but as soon as she touched them, a cold voice drifted from across the table: "Don’t move."

Upon hearing this, Cen Jin instinctively retracted her hand and looked innocently at Jiang Baizhou, who was calmly grilling the beef. "I can grill it myself. It’s been so long, and you haven’t started eating yet, I feel..." Really embarrassed.

"I’m not hungry yet." Jiang Baizhou slightly lifted his eyelids, glanced at her, and seeing she had picked up the tongs, coldly warned, "Put it down."

Cen Jin was speechless, subtly glaring at him before silently placing the tongs back in the distance. She picked up her chopsticks again and placed the grilled meat from her bowl into his: "Then you eat this, try it."

"No time."

Cen Jin was at a loss for words, thought for a moment, and picked up the grilled meat, bringing it close to his mouth. As it approached, Jiang Baizhou leaned back in disbelief, looking at her, but caught a hint of embarrassment on her face. He raised an eyebrow in amusement, a faint smile passed through his eyes, and he opened his mouth to accept her feeding. After chewing a couple of times, he casually remarked, "Hmm, the taste isn’t bad."

After the first time, Jiang Baizhou simply stopped using his hands and focused on grilling the meat, letting Cen Jin feed him the rest.

In the end, Cen Jin was unwilling to continue, seeing his leisurely demeanor, she pouted and asked, "Why don’t you eat it yourself? I’ve almost had enough, I’ll help you grill."

"No need." Jiang Baizhou glanced at her: "I’m full too, just two pieces left, don’t waste them."

"Then one for each of us?"

"Sure."

After they finished eating, Jiang Baizhou settled the bill. Cen Jin watched his relaxed expression and tilted her head to ask after they exited the restaurant, "Are you in a good mood?"

"Not bad." Jiang Baizhou looked at her, then casually shifted his gaze away. After a few seconds of silence, he added with a slightly profound tone, "The grill was good."

"Yeah, I also thought it was quite tasty." Cen Jin didn’t think too deeply about it, nodded in agreement, and walked ahead of Jiang Baizhou.

Jiang Baizhou watched her back, trying hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips, and pretending like nothing happened, opened his umbrella. With long strides, he walked alongside her.

The rain had lessened considerably compared to before, but it was still drizzling lightly. A gentle breeze carried the refreshing coolness after the rain. Cen Jin looked down at their synchronized steps, a slight smile curved her lips, when suddenly, her head was lightly tapped. She looked up to meet his icy tone: "Watch the road and walk carefully."
