Zhu Yaya was definitely going to follow Murong Beichen and Xu Chun. Neither Murong Beichen nor Xu Chun caused any trouble; instead, they obediently wandered around the forest.
The supporting male lead, Ling Yiming, and the supporting female lead, Shen Wandan, also followed the main couple with sorrowful expressions.
Zhu Yaya rubbed her palms together excitedly. Was something about to go down?
But a whole morning passed without a single peep from the system.
At eleven o'clock, everyone gathered in the clearing. With the help of the picnic shop's staff, Qiao Wei had already set up the barbecue grills and other picnic supplies in the open area. The food for the picnic was also ready.
Zhu Yaya's eyes lit up.
She had never been on a picnic before!
Whatever, nothing in the world was more important than eating.
Zhu Yaya grabbed Yan Heng and rushed toward the barbecue grill.
The charcoal in the grill hadn't been lit yet.
Qiao Wei stepped forward and counted the people. After confirming no one was missing, he began to give orders: The boys are in charge of lighting the charcoal, and the girls should first look for some fallen branches and leaves nearby for the boys to use as kindling.
Most of the students at Scott High School were pampered kids who had never done a day of manual labor in their lives; they had absolutely no idea how to light charcoal. Zhu Yaya even saw quite a few boys pull out their phones on the spot to search how to light charcoal.
Zhu Yaya had definitely clung to the right thigh. Yan Heng was simply omnipotent; he quickly got the charcoal burning.
Zhu Yaya circled around him curiously and gave him a thumbs-up.
The nearby boys all stopped what they were doing and watched Yan Heng's hands at work.
Yan Heng's movements were practiced: I used to work part-time at a barbecue joint.
Zhu Yaya: ...
She knew it! Yan Heng truly lived up to his reputation as a part-time job maniac!
Li Hao's face was smoked black and white, making him look like a traditional opera singer: Brother Yan, save me! How do you light this charcoal? It's driving me freaking crazy!
The other boys also swarmed over, looking at Yan Heng with eager, desperate eyes.
Yan Heng instantly became the most popular person among the boys.
Xu Chun looked at Murong Beichen, who had been struggling for a long time without making any progress, and then glanced at Yan Heng, who was teaching the other boys. She said hesitantly, Brother Chen, if it's not working, why don't we ask Yan Heng for help?
As a future domineering CEO, the last thing Murong Beichen would allow was for someone to doubt him.
Murong Beichen gave a cold snort, his nostrils flaring: Tch, it's just lighting charcoal. How could I, the unparalleled Murong Beichen, not know how to light charcoal? Chun'er, just watch closely! Watch how I light this charcoal for you!
After saying that, Murong Beichen threw himself back into his great charcoal-lighting endeavor. His face looked even worse than Li Hao's; it was completely pitch black, with only the area around his eyes remaining somewhat clean.
Behind him stood a few bodyguards.
Young Master, please leave this rough work to us! Your hands are meant to guide the future empire of the Murong Group! The Master has already bought tens of thousands in insurance for your hands!
No! Murong Beichen slammed his foot onto a large rock nearby. I, Murong Beichen, must personally light a good fire for the woman I love most!
So aggressive and imposing!
A bodyguard in black sighed and said to Xu Chun, I've been by the Young Master's side for so long, and this is the first time I've ever seen him light charcoal.
Xu Chun looked deeply moved: Murong, how lucky am I to be able to barbecue with the charcoal you lit?
Murong Beichen ran a soot-stained hand through his hair and gave a wicked, arrogant smile: Woman, the charcoal lit by Murong Beichen is what you deserve!
Zhu Yaya, who unfortunately witnessed all of this: ...Gag!
