Chapter 8 Xin Yuan's Resistance

Wen Li didn't mean anything by it; she just wanted to give Xin Yuan some guidance.

She swears she didn't have any of those extraneous thoughts!
However, Xin Yuan's resistance to her was much greater than she had imagined.

Just as Wen Li's hand was about to touch the other person's skin, Xin Yuan dodged it.

He stood up instantly, his handsome brows furrowing slightly. "What are you going to do?"

Wen Li's hand missed its target.

She awkwardly withdrew her hand, feeling somewhat embarrassed and hurt.

Being openly disliked like that is hard for anyone to accept.

Wen Li took a deep breath and explained, "I didn't mean anything by it. You've always had trouble controlling the distance. I just wanted to teach you."

Seeing that she made no further moves, Xin Yuan's wariness gradually dissipated.

"Oh," he said indifferently.

Wen Li casually picked up a nearby tree branch and gestured in front of Xin Yuan, "It's about this distance."

Xin Yuan sat down again and, following the distance Wen Li gestured, fiddled with the roasted meat in his hands.

Wen Li glanced at it and thought it was about right.

"Okay, just keep baking it for another two minutes."

After saying that, Wen Li turned around and went back to her stone pot to check the meat soup.

Wen Li has always had a good attitude. She thought about it again and realized that with such a face, everything she did would seem like sexual harassment.

Just now, Xin Yuan deliberately thought she was trying to take advantage of him, so his reaction was so strong... I can understand it.

Although she comforted herself, Wen Li couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Lost in her own thoughts, she was completely unaware that Xin Yuan was watching her from behind.

The sun had already peeked out, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, illuminating Xin Yuan's delicate face and giving it a soft golden glow.

He lowered his eyes, staring in Wen Li's direction, somewhat dazed.

Xin Yuan reflected on his behavior and wondered if he had been too impolite.

She meant him no harm; she just wanted to teach him how to grill meat.

"I'm sorry," Xin Yuan said softly.

Wen Li was pulling out firewood from the stone stove at that moment and didn't hear Xin Yuan's voice at all.

Seeing that she didn't react, Xin Yuan assumed she was angry and was at a loss for what to do.

He had no experience interacting with females and didn't know how to appease an angry female. He silently turned around, only to find that a small part of his roasted meat had burned.

"The broth is ready." Wen Li extinguished the firewood and said to Xin Yuan, "You should have a bowl, right?"

Xin Yuan heard her voice and looked over at her. "Yes."

He placed the roasted meat on the leaves, turned and went into the cave, where he found two stone bowls.

Although Xin Yuan, this food enthusiast, isn't good at cooking, he certainly has a lot of props.

The pots, pans, and utensils were all readily available, which made it easier for Wen Li to get things done.

Xin Yuan took out two stone bowls, washed them, and handed them to Wen Li.

Wen Li ladled out two bowls of meat soup, handing one to Xin Yuan and keeping the other for herself.

"The meat is almost ready, just chop it up," Wen Li said.

Xin Yuan followed Wen Li's example, chopping the meat into small pieces and placing them on the leaves.

"Dinner is ready," Wen Li said.

Xin Yuan's family was rather poor; they didn't have tables or chairs, so they would just find a place to sit and eat.

Wen Li deliberately chose a place far away from Xin Yuan to avoid causing him any misunderstanding.

Xin Yuan also noticed Wen Li's actions but didn't say anything.

But in his heart, he guessed that she was still angry.

The two ate their breakfast in silence.

The broth was very fragrant, the meat was tender and juicy, and because it had been grilled before stewing, it had a unique flavor.

Wen Li narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

The reason she can cook such delicious food is not only because the ingredients are fresh, but also because of her seasoning. The perfect balance of salty and savory flavors—absolutely amazing!

Wen Li drank most of the meat soup in a few gulps, and when she looked up, she found that Xin Yuan had already finished the whole bowl.

Xin Yuan licked his glistening lips, looking as if he hadn't had enough.

So delicious!

The native orcs experienced the power of modern seasonings for the first time, and their eyes lit up almost to the point of glowing.

Normally, his meals are either bland or plain; he's never tasted such a savory flavor before.

It's a pity the portion was too small; he hadn't had enough.

Thinking of this, Xin Yuan's expression turned somewhat disappointed.

Wen Li could tell he hadn't had enough, so she pointed towards the stone pot and said, "There's still a lot left inside, you can eat it all."

Xin Yuan instantly felt fully revitalized and looked at Wen Li with surprise, "Really?"

Wen Li nodded with amusement, "Really."

Xin Yuan's expression reminded her of the little dog her friend kept.

Every time she takes out the snacks and shakes them, the puppy wags its tail and runs towards her, its bright, black eyes shining like that.

Xin Yuan strode towards the stone pot, and upon seeing it filled with meat broth, his delight was palpable.

Wen Li specially cooked a lot today.

The amount of broth was based on the amount Xin Yuan ate yesterday.

She noticed that the orcs had big appetites, so she cooked extra today. If they couldn't finish it, they could save it for lunch.

However, she underestimated Xin Yuan's appetite.

Before he had even finished the broth in the soup bowl, Xin Yuan had already devoured all the broth in the stone pot.

Clean and spotless, not a single thing left.

Wen Li was dumbfounded.

With Xin Yuan's appetite, he could have been a competitive eater in her original world. Plus, with his good looks, he would have become an instant sensation.

After finishing the meat soup, Xin Yuan returned to Wen Li's side and picked up his chopped roast meat to taste.

Then he frowned again, "...It's not the same as yours."

Wen Li also picked up a piece and tasted it.

It definitely didn't taste as good as the one she baked yesterday.

Not only was part of it burnt, but the meat was also overcooked and tough, resulting in a mediocre taste.

"It tastes alright." Wen Li always encouraged them. "If you try a few more times, you'll be able to bake the same ones as me."

It's normal that Xin Yuan can't achieve the same texture as hers.

Wen Li's family loves barbecue, and she started acting as a "barbecue chef" when she was very young.

If you think about it carefully, she has more than ten years of barbecue experience. By that standard, she is a master chef.

The two quickly finished their breakfast.

Wen Li didn't have a big appetite, so Xin Yuan was the main force. He really did a great job, eating everything, whether it was meat soup or roasted meat.

“You just sit here, I’ll collect your things,” Xin Yuan said.

He volunteered to do the dishes and tidy up, which improved Wen Li's impression of him considerably.

Wen Li likes to cook, but doesn't like to wash dishes, so this division of labor between the two is not bad.

After doing all this, Xin Yuan returned to his cave.

After breakfast, he would go out hunting to gather new ingredients.

While Xin Yuan went back into the cave to pack his things, Wen Li sat at the doorway basking in the sun.

Suddenly, she noticed a red figure flash by in the distance.

Wen Li was startled and quickly ran towards Xin Yuan's cave.

As soon as they entered the cave, they heard a familiar, cheerful male voice from outside: "Xin Yuan!"
