"Do you want some?" Wang Ze was not stingy. Thinking that Baowei was disgusted because he didn't take the initiative to share, he handed the Maltesers over.

Zhou Baowei's head immediately shook like a rattle drum, "Disgusting, stay away from me."

Wang Ze: "?"

It's one thing to refuse what I'm offering you, but to also say it's disgusting? This kid is really sick.

Lin Li continued to meticulously prepare his Michelin-starred dish. Then he turned his head and found that his large handful of skewers had been taken by Zhou Baowei.

"You're not leaving a single one for us?" Lin Li had thought Baowei would be greedy, but he didn't think he would be this greedy.

Is it too late to break up with him now?

"No, I'm afraid you guys will trick me. I'll distribute them," Zhou Baowei looked at Lin Li and Bai Bufan warily.

"How could we? You're slandering your brothers here," the two of them were very hurt and a little regretful. "You do it, you do it."

So Zhou Baowei began to distribute, "One for Lin Li, one for me. One for Bufan, one for me. One for me, and one for me. Another one for Lin Li, and another one for me..."

Lin Li, Bai Bufan: "..."

It's fair, but also a little unfair.

"Bufan, quickly call Sai Xiaoxi and tell him the endless energy has been found. Let the Seer fly back. Baowei's rendered pig oil will solve the energy crisis in an instant," Lin Li turned to look at Bai Bufan.

Bai Bufan covered his eyes, "No, Lin Li, I can't do it. I'm the son-in-law of a Hui person. I can't bear to see a pig's head being served. Quick, get Baowei out of my sight!"

The two of them's foul mouths were still performing consistently.

But this time, Baowei's mouth was also performing consistently.

Curse me, go ahead and curse me.

I'll f*cking eat, eat, eat, eat, eat!

I'll f*cking gnaw, gnaw, gnaw, gnaw, gnaw!

However, Lin Li and Bai Bufan didn't care at all. If Baowei ate fast, then let him eat more. If the child wants to eat, let him eat. If there's not enough, the two of them can just go get something else to eat.

He tasted his own barbecue. As for the taste, to be honest, with barbecue, good technique does make it taste better, but as long as the technique isn't terrible, it won't be that bad.

It was okay, passable.

Lin Li didn't feel the so-called feeling of the fruits of his own labor tasting the most delicious.

It was Bai Bufan's turn to grill. He spread tinfoil on the grill, brushed it with oil, and started grilling enoki mushrooms, eggplants...

Lin Li had already drunk half of his water while climbing the mountain, and now it was finished. He looked at the water the other two had brought. There was still some, but the bottle mouths were probably covered in grease, so he couldn't drink it.

After telling the two of them, he was appointed as the team's tea-pouring soldier and went to the base's self-service area.

As Xue Jian had said, there was a self-service water dispenser here, as well as two large barrels. He opened them. One contained plum juice, and the other contained a light pink, jelly-like soup that looked like lotus root starch.

Because it was summer, besides the room-temperature plain water from the water dispenser, everything else was iced.

The plum juice was probably made from a one-yuan-per-barrel plum essence concentrate. It tasted a bit strange. On the other hand, the lotus root starch soup was surprisingly delicious and thirst-quenching.

I'll get a cup for Bufan and Baowei too.

"Lin Li, are you also here to get water?"

"Yeah, Class President," Lin Li didn't turn his head. Chen Yuying's crisp voice was really easy to distinguish, with a beauty like Blu-ray 10K panoramic surround sound at 192kHz.

"Which one is good here?" The light blue figure stood beside Lin Li, graceful and elegant, she asked.

"This bone ash soup is not bad. Do you want some, Class President? I'll get you a cup too?" Lin Li said, shaking the long-handled water ladle in his hand.

Chen Yuying was stunned for a moment, then took a step back, hiding half of her body behind Lin Li. She held her fists in front of her lips, her voice filled with surprise and panic, "Bone... bone ash soup?"

Is this base so scary?

"Yeah, this lotus root starch soup. Isn't lotus root starch Nezha's bone ash?" Lin Li nodded sincerely.

The air was quiet for a moment. One could almost hear the sound of the girl's long eyelashes fluttering.

Chen Yuying stared at the lotus root starch soup for a long time, then her hands, which were covering her lips, hit Lin Li's back with two thuds. She said with some annoyance:

"Who calls lotus root starch bone ash? Why don't you say that the ground under our feet is mixed with Sun Wukong's bone ash?"

"As expected of the class president, your ability in learning is admirable. That's right, that's the truth. Also, if the Great Sage were pregnant and had an abortion, he would probably choose laser lithotripsy," Lin Li nodded in agreement.

"Is this the best one to drink?" After her annoyance, she couldn't help but laugh. Chen Yuying stepped forward again to be parallel with Lin Li and confirmed again.

"Yes, I haven't drunk this cup yet. You try it. There are disposable spoons and straws here."

Lin Li handed it to Chen Yuying, but when her hand reached over, he suddenly raised the lotus root starch cup.

Chen Yuying, who had grabbed at empty air, raised her hand, but grabbed empty air again. The height difference between the two was there. After grabbing at empty air several times, Chen Yuying chose to stare into Lin Li's eyes.

Nansang Sect's ghost cultivator +1.

Lin Li held back his laughter and handed the lotus root starch cup to a place within Chen Yuying's reach again.

Just as Chen Yuying's hand moved, Lin Li's hand moved with it.

This is the power of a cultivator.

Why did Lin Li cultivate?

Besides making the auntie and child he had already met and Bai Bufan fly, curing Yang Liang's stubborn illness, and earning at least three thousand yuan a month, wasn't it for moments like this?

"Hmph," the mortal got angry and ignored Lin Li, deciding to get a cup for herself.

"I'll really give it to you, I'll really give it to you," Lin Li smiled and handed it over again.

Chen Yuying didn't take it.

"Ahem," Lin Li felt he needed to think of an excuse. "Class President, I'm not playing with you. I was just thinking, you have a sanitary pad in your bag. Could you be on your period? This lotus root starch is iced, I'm afraid you can't drink it."

The little red persimmon appeared again. So beautiful, so fun to play with.

Love to see it, love to play with it.

"I'm not on my period. We all keep a spare one. And it's cool here, you can tell it's iced just by standing here. I already reached out my hand, doesn't that mean I can drink it?! And you didn't even ask just now, you were just playing with me. No excuses!"

The truth is always in your belly. Chen Yuying saw through Lin Li's flimsy lie in an instant.

"I was afraid you'd be embarrassed if I asked."

But just as Lin Li said, this world belonged to thick-skinned people like him. Even though he was exposed, Lin Li's face wasn't red and his heart was still beating.

"I'm not embarrassed now that you've said it out loud?!" Chen Yuying looked down. After seeing that Lin Li's shoes were white, she snorted and put her slightly raised leg back on the ground.

He should have worn black shoes.

Lin Li handed the lotus root starch cup over again. This time, Chen Yuying didn't refuse. After taking it, she took a bite with a spoon and nodded with satisfaction, "Mmm, it's quite delicious."

"Class President, are you drinking it yourself, or do you want a few more cups?" Lin Li asked again.

"Get four more cups. I'll bring one for each of them. I'll go get a cup of room-temperature water. Shuyang is on her period," Chen Yuying said.

"What period? It's menstruation. Sweep away the hunger and be yourself."

Chen Yuying shivered, "So cold."

"I understand this hint! Class President, you wait. I'll take off my clothes and put them on you right now," Lin Li had read a hundred high-EQ posts from marketing accounts. The warm-man skills he had mastered would definitely keep Chen Yuying warm for a hundred years.

"Pervert!"

The only problem was that Lin Li was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt. So when he put down the soup ladle and crossed his hands to hold the corners of his shirt, Chen Yuying covered her eyes.

Unlike Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu's half-hearted covering of their eyes, Chen Yuying covered them tightly.

Of course, Lin Li wouldn't really take it off—what's the point of taking it off if no one is looking?

He finished getting the six cups.

"I'll help you take them back."

"Okay, thanks."

They were long cups similar to those used for milk tea, so Lin Li could hold two cups in one hand. Chen Yuying could just hold the remaining three cups with both hands.

Before they even reached the girls' barbecue grill, Lin Li heard Ding Sihan's exclamation. The few girls who were originally gathered around had scattered a certain distance.

Lin Li walked up and saw that the charcoal had caught fire. Ding Sihan was about to pour the water she had brought.

Lin Li immediately put the cups on the ground temporarily, went up and pressed down on Ding Sihan's cup, stopping her.

Then he picked up the charcoal tongs from the ground, moved the barbecue grill away, stirred the burning charcoal, and the flames gradually extinguished as he stirred.

"Change places more often when you grill. Don't just grill in one place," after putting the barbecue grill back, Lin Li said with a calm expression.

"Oh," Ding Sihan nodded blankly.

Lin Li, he...

"How was it?" Lin Li's face instantly broke into a grin as he asked expectantly, "Wasn't my act of calmly and coolly solving the problem for the girls with a single stroke of my hand, and then speaking in a cool and aloof manner, very handsome?"

Ding Sihan: "..."

You motherf*cker.

Although he was a little unfamiliar just now, his actions were indeed quite handsome.

She was about to praise him.

Now looking at Lin Li's grinning face, the familiar feeling came back.

But—

"What's so handsome about you when you say it out loud? I just think you're so cheap!" Ding Sihan said loudly.

"Alright, I'll hold it in for longer next time," humility makes one progress. Lin Li recognized his shortcomings and nodded.

"Lin Li, try this skewer. Don't worry, it's not a poison test this time. Humans can eat it, you can eat it too," after her disdain, Ding Sihan handed over a skewer of shiitake mushrooms.

It was not uncommon to be expelled from the human race. Lin Li finished it in a few bites and nodded, "Not bad."

"Then you eat this skewer of green peppers too, and this skewer of lamb with burnt brown, and this one... ouch!" Ding Sihan's head was knocked.

Looking up, the culprit was looking at him with a cold smile, "You're using me as a trash can."

He never thought he would one day be treated the same as Baowei. How sad.

"Dad, I'm begging you," Ding Sihan clenched her fists and pleaded.

"I'll eat."

Lin Li sighed. One could only say that fatherly love is like a mountain. This was a responsibility he couldn't escape.

...

"Class President, is there anything you grilled here? I want to eat something that humans can eat."

After finishing being a trash can and throwing the skewers into a real trash can, Lin Li looked up and asked.

"There's nothing here, but I can grill a skewer for you now," Chen Yuying replied upon hearing this.

"I won't be polite then. Please," Lin Li nodded.

"Wait a moment, I'll put on an apron first," Chen Yuying picked up a transparent plastic apron from the grass beside her and put it on. She then tied up her loose hair with the hair tie on her wrist.

The snow-white neck that had been hidden by her black hair was now revealed to the world again, shining even brighter in the sunlight.

At this moment, the pure and innocent girl also had a bit more of a homely, wifely feel.

The apron was indeed very necessary. Lin Li also didn't want this very cool dress to be stained with any grease.

His thoughts wandered. Lin Li immediately turned to look at Yu Yu, and then nodded.

As the girl whose clothes were most likely to get dirty if grease dripped from her mouth, she was indeed also wearing this kind of disposable apron, protecting herself well.

And on the apron, as expected, there were already a few stains in that large area. There was nothing to be done, it was a high-risk area.

Lin Li looked at Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu again. Ding Sihan had some, Qu Wanqiu had none at all.

—This time, Lin Li was not talking about oil stains.

"What are you laughing at, Lin Li? It's so disgusting?!" Qu Wanqiu took a frightened step back after noticing Lin Li smiling at her.

What he was about to say was not convenient for unfamiliar people to hear, so Lin Li trotted over to Qu Wanqiu's side and asked seriously but in a low voice, "I have a very serious question to ask you, little. If you didn't have legs, would you still wear shoes?"

Ding Sihan leaned over and was completely baffled after hearing it.

"What do you want to do to my legs?" Qu Wanqiu asked warily, holding her legs.

"I don't want to."

Qu Wanqiu: "?"

What is this?

"It doesn't matter if I want to or not. You answer me first, would you wear shoes if you didn't have legs?" Qu Wanqiu's legs had no allure. Lin Li continued to ask in a low voice.

"I wouldn't," Qu Wanqiu frowned and shook her head.

"Then why do you wear a bra?" Lin Li asked sincerely.

Qu Wanqiu: "..."
