Why does it smell so good?
Does this fat lady really have a talent for cooking?
Jia Lan’s face showed a hint of regret; if he had helped out earlier, he could have grabbed a bite to eat.
But for him to actively ask for food, that’s absolutely impossible.
He utterly loathes this fat lady and doesn’t want to have any association with her.
It’s just a bit of barbecue; as the noble Prince of New Atlantis, what delicacies hasn’t he eaten?
Jia Lan got up irritably, moved to a more distant spot to continue resting, but the aroma of the meat kept wafting into his nose. Saliva was flowing uncontrollably, and he couldn’t even sleep.
Damn!
This fat lady must be doing it on purpose!
Jia Lan shot a cold glare in that direction, turned over, and tried his best to block out the smell of the meat.
But he’s always disdained drinking nutrient liquid, and he hadn’t eaten that evening. By now, he was already starving, driving him nearly insane, his stomach aching with hunger.
Shen Tang really was doing it on purpose. She had a mischievous smile at the corner of her lips, frequently glancing over at Jia Lan, fanning the aroma as she grilled, letting it drift farther, trying to lure the proud mermaid over to beg her for food!
Yet, after all her efforts, this mermaid’s self-control was truly strong and not tempted at all!
A trace of frustration flashed through Shen Tang’s heart.
Considering their hostile relationship, that proud mermaid definitely wouldn’t voluntarily yield. Thinking this, she picked up a few freshly grilled skewers and walked in Jia Lan’s direction.
"What are you doing here?" Jia Lan opened his eyes to see Shen Tang approaching, his face cold and resentful.
"I noticed you haven’t eaten tonight, grilled some meat, and thought I’d bring you some as I couldn’t finish it all."
Only then did Jia Lan notice the large skewers of meat in Shen Tang’s hands. He swallowed his sarcastic words, pursed his lips, and said disdainfully, "I don’t need your charity, and don’t even think I’d like you."
"..." Shen Tang was speechless inside. This guy really does care about face to the point of suffering!
Clearly, the yearning was spilling from his eyes, yet he still wouldn’t admit defeat!
