Chapter 606: You Guys Sure Can Eat
There’s an old saying: people (or living things) of a different race can’t be trusted. An average person wouldn’t be able to guess the thoughts of a dog.
Take Obama as an example. He was just worried about the class leader killing him and eating his meat, but currently he had escaped his leash and jumping back and forth over the campfire, completely ignoring the fact that a single misstep would turn him into roast meat.
He jumped left, right, front, and back rhythmically. He had his tongue out and got more into it when more people started watching him.
I remember when 004 and 005 tried to train him to go through steel hoops, but he refused and now he’s jumping over fire so enthusiastically.
Don’t tell me he wants an audience so he could get fed after his performance?
A lot of students applauded while watching, but the class leader stopped anyone who wanted to throw food.
“Overfeeding a pet is equivalent to torturing them.” The class leader stated.
But she herself couldn’t resist against Obama’s wails (when he rubbed his head on her legs), so she would feed him. She was also a bit embarrassed and tried to hide it so the other students doesn’t see.
Class leader, your actions aren’t following your own words! It seems like your principles don’t apply to pets and your brother, right?
For the sake of safety, the campfire was extinguished under the class leader’s orders. The one who did it was me because history has shown Xiong YaoYue was unqualified to extinguish fires, she was told by the class leader to squeeze lemon juice.
“Die, lemon!” Xiong YaoYue used the manual juicer and she would feel happy like she was killing monsters every time she decimated a lemon.
Since she was using both her hands, Xiao Qin was in charge of feeding her the skewers.
“How’s the grilled beef?”
“Medium well, but just the way I like it. Give me another skewer.”
Xiong Yaoyue, the big eater, has already eaten a ton of food since we arrived at the mountain. Two roasted sweet potatoes, unknown purple berries, and roasted marshmallows, but it still didn’t affect her vigorous appetite.
Xiao Qin used the excuse of grabbing food for Xiong YaoYue to also take a lot of seafood for herself which caused the students to complain: “Winnie eats way too much.”
“Who’s talking about me?” Loud Mouth looked up from one of the grills. She was also holding a chicken wing and eating while grilling.
“But no matter what, we have to make sure Winnie is full~~~” Xiao Qin made a can’t help it expression and took another 3 skewers of meat and 5 skewers of shrimp.
Xiao Qin amd Xiong YaoYue occupied a less eye-catching picnic mat with just the two of them. Xiong YaoYue was like me, she was more interested in beef and lamb than seafood.
So that’s why Xiao Qin formed an alliance with her? So this way every time she grabs more food, she won’t be labeled as a glutton, how devious.
The class leader laid out a total of 12 picnic mats. So if there’s 41 students and 1 teacher, then on average each mat will have 3 or 4 people.
Xiao Qin called me over to sit with her and Xiong YaoYue. I thought about it and there was nothing wrong with it, so I walked over.
But before I even got seated, Xiao Qin ran to the grill near the class leader and grabbed a large number of meat and seafood skewers.
“I’m sorry, but Ye Lin and Winnie really could eat.”
Xiao Qin acted as if she was only an errand girl. Other than the class leader who already knew about it, the other students looked at Xiao Qin with sympathy.
When she returned, Xiao Qin happily gave the meat skewers to me and Xiong YaoYue, then she gorged herself on the seafood. After she finished, she even threw the shells and bones into the paper garbage box in front of me and Xiong YaoYue to make it seem like we ate it.
“Ye Lin classmate, I’ll help you get some more grilled scallops. What, you want 20, would that be too much?”
Xiao Qin purposely spoke to herself out loud.
“I, I’m sorry, I’ll get it for you right away, please don’t hit me.”
Xiao Qin wobbled up from the mat and pretended like she was the victim. She went to the grills and took away all the scallops and came back with her head lowered.
The other students who also liked seafood thought it was all for me, so they didn’t dare speak up, they could only comment from far away:
“Ye Lin’s so greedy, he’s taking all the good food.”
“He’s even making his childhood friend run errands for him, how shameless.”
Do you guys even have eyes? Take a look, I haven’t even eaten a single scallop yet, Xiao Qin was the one who ate all the seafood. But she had her back facing them, so they had to change a perspective to be able to see.
As I thought that, Xiao Qin picked out a scallop from its shell and fed it to me.
“Ye Lin classmate should have a taste too, you can’t just not eat anything with shells because you find it troublesome.”
Since she already brought the meat so close to my mouth, I could only reluctantly open my mouth and eat it. It was alright, but I really can’t tell what’s so good about seafood.
“He even made his childhood friend feed him…” The two unsatisfied students from earlier became even angrier.
After Xiao Qin fed me a scallop, she also fed Xiong YaoYue one too. Xiong YaoYue didn’t reject anything, but it seems she was like me and didn’t really see the value of seafood.
Ever since the dawn of man, sharing food has been an important way of expressing friendship. If Xiao Qin gave her favorite seafood to Xiong YaoYue, then she probably treats her as a close friend.
Regardless of how much seafood Xiao Qin devoured using our names, I still feel it was historic breakthrough for her to open up and establish a friendship with a classmate as Ren XiaoQin and not as the Little Tyrant or Sis Qin.
Maybe Xiong YaoYue is easily trusted because she was dim-witted and never has any ulterior motives. Ai Mi, who doesn’t easily trust others, likes her too. Even if the class leader gets headaches when Xiong YaoYue fools around, she still sees Xiong YaoYue as a capable person. Gong CaiCai also often gets bullied by Xiong YaoYue, but I can guarantee if Gong CaiCai actually runs into a bad person, the first she will turn to is the class leader and the second might be Xiong YaoYue.
I don’t think any of the boys hates Xiong YaoYue. There might be even more people like Shen ShaoYi who has a crush on this tom boy.
Although Zhuang Ni doesn’t like Xiong YaoYue, that’s because she hates men and treats Xiong YaoYue as a man.
It was an unusually happy open-air barbecue conference and we could see the usually reserved students all eat and drink together. I think these barbecue parties the Americans always hold really plays a role in developing feelings.
Of course, there are some specialists who say an open air barbecue would generate a lot of PM2.5 and negatively affect the air quality.
But the class leader already calculated beforehand how much PM2.5 will be produced with 40 students.
And I don’t believe these specialists have never ate barbecue with others to improve relationships, so what if there’s a bit more PM2.5.
I even heard there were specialists who requested laws to make Beijing residents cook at home… yet it turns out they eat out at restaurants daily. I really want to tie up these specialists on a tree and let Obama have a good chat with them. Since they are full of a bunch of **, so they should speak a common language with dogs who eat **.
Every time Xiong YaoYue squeezes out some lemon juice, the class leader would send people in intervals to pick it up.
“Rub some lemon juice on the meat and it can reduce carcinogens…”
The class leader repeatedly reminded everyone and guaranteed each picnic mat had half a glass of lemon juice, but it was a pity not many people listened to her.
I tried rubbing some lemon juice on the pork belly. To be honest, I have no idea if it’s healthy or not, but it does taste pretty good.
“Um, I could help you squeeze for a while.” I thought Xiong YaoYue might be tired.
“No need.” Xiong YaoYue shook her head, “Don’t you know the more energy you exert, the more you could eat? And with Xiao Qin feeding me, I feel like an emperor, hahaha.”
How come compared to Zhuang Ni who was lying alone on a picnic mat, not eating at all, as if she was a corpse, Xiao Qin and Xiong YaoYue seemed more like a lesbian couple?
“Give me another serving of stinky tofu.”
Teacher Yu, who was sitting with the chameleon, raised his hand and shouted.
“Teacher Yu, we have tofu skins, but it’s not stinky.” The class leader replied with a frown.
“Ah, I misspoke tofu skin is fine. Can someone help me get one of those.”
Sun Yu, who loves to suck up to teachers, brought the teacher two skewers of the tofu.
“How come there’s no stinky tofu…” teacher Yu lamented after looking at the tofu skins.
Do you like stinky tofu that much? Did you not realize everyone looking at you with disdain when you were eating stinky tofu on the bus? If you weren’t the teacher, the class leader would have already said something.
They all said stinky tofu smells bad, but tastes delicious. You should have shared some with everyone so we weren’t just smelling it.
Of course, not many of the students like to eat stinky tofu. Eunuch Cao likes to eat it because he was influenced by his father, but I don’t know if anyone else does.
“Don’t litter, make sure to throw the scraps into the garbage box in front of you and take it with you when we leave. We have to make sure to maintain the environment here, understand?”
The class leader reminded everyone for a second time.
I looked at the paper garbage box and it looks like it was folded out of pages of a ‘Women’s Friend’ magazine. The elaborate yet practical solution should be the class leader’s handiwork.
Obama was once again put on his leash by the class leader. He completely ignored the class leader’s garbage collection plan and dug out a shallow hole by a pine tree. Then he buried a half eaten chicken leg inside, so he could come back and get it one day.
Is it because Ai Mi will force you to diet once you go back? You’re really self-aware and know how to prepare ahead of time.
But it’s not Alaska, so once you come back to dig it out, it would have already spoiled.
I thought since Obama was Ai Mi’s dog, so I should take care of him for a while. I went to ask the class leader for the dog, but she refused to hand him over.
