With the reputation of being an 'animal doctor', she was afraid that she would be burned by the charcoal before she could eat the barbecued meat.
As soon as Jiujiu finished speaking, Xuan En instantly realized that the netizens still thought that Jiujiu was the so-called 'animal doctor'. His expression froze, and he looked at Jiujiu apologetically. "I'm sorry."
"You're not the one who hurt me. Why are you apologizing?" Jiujiu stood up, stretched, and yawned. She looked lazy, but because of her lazy expression, she looked very unrestrained. Xuan En couldn't help but stare at her in a daze.
Jiujiu walked to the fridge, opened it, and looked at the ingredients inside. She turned sideways to look at Xuan En and asked, "Do you want to eat barbecued meat?"
The mention of barbecued meat just now had already hurt Jiujiu, so Xuan En didn't dare to mention barbecued meat again. He waved his hand and said, "I don't eat barbecued meat."
If Ms. Yuan was hurt because of this barbecued meat, Xuan En would never forgive himself.
Seeing Xuan En waving his hand repeatedly, Jiujiu's beautiful pink lips overflowed with a faint smile.
Jiujiu's voice was very soft, like a fluffy feather landing on one's heart. It was light and weightless, but it made one feel ticklish.
Xuan En felt as if his ear had been scratched by a feather. It was extremely itchy, and he couldn't help but look in Jiujiu's direction. His lips moved. Although he knew that his words weren't convincing, he couldn't help but emphasize, "Ms. Yuan, I really don't eat barbecued meat."
Jiujiu glanced at Xuan En.
Jiujiu's eyes were long and narrow. When the corners of her eyes flipped, they revealed bits of starlight, as if there was a sea of stars in them. Xuan En couldn't help but indulge in it. When he came back to his senses, he saw Jiujiu taking out the pork belly and other ingredients from the fridge and walking to the kitchen.
Jiujiu said as she walked, "I didn't say that I would treat you to barbecue outside. What are you afraid of?"
The weather outside was so hot, and the barbecue stall was full of stinky men in short sleeves and sweaty bodies. Moreover, how could the barbecue outside be better than the barbecue she made?
Jiujiu cleaned the meat and vegetables. First, she cut the meat into thin slices and marinated it with seasoning. Then, she soaked the bamboo skewers in hot water and put them aside. Only then did she begin to cut the vegetables.
After cutting the vegetables, she skewered them with a bamboo stick. Then, she glanced sideways at Xuan En, who was standing at the side in a daze, and asked, "Do you know how to skewer meat?"
Xuan En had barbecued meat before when he was camping with his friends. Although the taste was not very good, he was still good at skewering meat. When Jiujiu asked, he nodded and said that he could.
Jiujiu wants to push the marinated meat to Xuan En, "Put it on. I'll light the fire."
Jiujiu asked Little White to put the barbecued meat on the balcony and quickly lit the charcoal. When the fire was ready, she asked Xuan En to bring the seasoning, meat, and vegetables to the balcony.
A gust of wind happened to blow from afar. It blew away the heat in the house and made the fire in the stove burn more vigorously.
Jiujiu roasted the meat first. Under the roasting of the flames, the fat on the meat quickly became greasy. The grease fell onto the charcoal and made a sizzling sound. At the same time, it emitted a strong and alluring fragrance. Under the nourishment of the grease, the lean meat retained its moisture and even absorbed the grease, becoming tender instead.
Watching the fat turn an alluring golden yellow under the fire, the lean meat became redder and shone with a mesmerizing light. Jiujiu picked up the cumin chili and sprinkled it on the barbecued meat. After roasting it for a while, she put a handful of barbecued meat in her hand on a plate.
Xuan En, who had long been attracted by the barbecued meat in Jiujiu's hands, immediately picked up a handful of barbecued meat and ate a few mouthfuls.
The fat was oily but not greasy. The lean meat was fragrant but not dry. The taste was spicy and fresh. It was so delicious that he could even swallow his tongue.
By the time Xuan En reacted, he had already finished the two handfuls of barbecued meat that Jiujiu handed to him.
Looking at the two empty wooden skewers in front of him, Xuan En remembered that Jiujiu was still holding on to the barbecued meat. His cheeks instantly turned red. He lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry."
The barbecued meat was so delicious that he couldn't help but finish it all.
Jiujiu raised her eyebrows, "It's okay. Also, you can eat as much as you want."
Jiujiu raised her chin, "Go in and get two bottles of beer."
How could barbecued meat not be accompanied by beer?
After Xuan En brought the beer back, Jiujiu's other two handfuls of barbecued meat were done.
Jiujiu smeared the vegetables with oil and placed them over the fire. She picked up the beer and drank as she asked Xuan En, "Why did you come back with me?"
Xuan En was the only person who had helped her find justice. He only needed to provide clues. He didn't need to come back with her at all.
Xuan En picked up a skewer of barbecued meat and carefully took a bite. Feeling the wonderful taste, Xuan En couldn't help but squint his eyes and smile. He looked at Jiujiu and said, "If I didn't come, I wouldn't be able to eat such delicious barbecued meat."
"Barbecued meat can be eaten anywhere."
"Yeah!" Xuan En brought the beer bottle to his mouth and lowered his head to drink a mouthful of beer. His expression changed from the carefree one just now to a bitter one.
"I lied to you. Actually, I was very scared at that time." Xuan En lowered his head. His face was hidden in the shadows, only his eyes were shining under the moonlight.
"I've written so many detective novels, but all the villains have the surname Wang. Guess why?"
Jiujiu was speechless.
Hating a person would cause him to die miserably as the villain in every book?
Yep, as expected, no matter who you offend, you can't offend the author of a novel. That's because you'll die countless times without even knowing it.
Seeing the corner of Jiujiu's mouth twitch, Xuan En knew that Jiujiu had probably guessed what he meant. Xuan En chuckled and lowered his head to continue eating the barbecued meat. But this time, his expression was much more relaxed.
After eating the barbecued meat, the two of them went back to rest.
Because it was inconvenient for Jiujiu to go out, the matter of the memory card was left to Xuan En.
Xuan En went out at ten in the morning and came back at three in the afternoon. When he came back, he handed a memory card to Jiujiu.
After taking the memory card, Jiujiu quickly read the memory card and moved everything on the card to the computer. Then, she started playing the video.
Jiujiu quickly moved the time of the video to the time she was looking for.
She didn't expect to see Old Madam Wang.
Old Madam Wang was sitting on the ground alone. Although her expression couldn't be seen, from her loneliness, it could be seen that Old Madam Wang wasn't pushed by Yuan Lei as she said. She fell down on her own.
However, because the car was driving fast, that was all she could see. If she could find a few more videos of the car, that would be great.
Jiujiu cut the video and sent it to Yuan Cheng.
Yuan Cheng and Wu Xiaomei, who saw the video, instantly burst into tears.
If they could have persevered like Madam Yuan back then, would their son not have to suffer such injustice?
