Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xia Xin couldnβt help but smirk. She thought, βConsidering Jing Moβs luck, how could a wild pheasant have flown straight into a rock beside him and he just happened to pick it up?
βThen letβs take it back and get cooking,β Xia Xin suggested.
Xu Zhi and Zhou Lian, upon seeing the wild pheasant, suddenly found the rabbit in their hands less appealing.
βMy goodness, Xia Xin, how did you manage that? You even found a wild pheasant!β Xu Zhi tossed the rabbit aside in excitement.
βHey, why are you throwing away the rabbit?β Xia Xin quickly put down Drumstick and went to retrieve the rabbit.
βWoof, woof,β Drumstick wailed, feeling abandoned because of a rabbit.
Apart from Xia Xin, everyone else wondered why Drumstick was suddenly making a fuss.
βFor lunch, youβll get a roasted rabbit leg. Howβs that?β Xia Xin whispered to Drumstick.
Suddenly, Drumstickβs wails ceased, and it wagged its tail, nuzzling Xia Xinβs pant leg affectionately.
βThis little wolf pup is so adorable, is it trying to be cutesy?β Zhou Lian squatted down for a closer look. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
βAh!β Zhou Lian exclaimed suddenly.
βWhatβs wrong?β Xu Zhi asked immediately.
Zhou Lian patted her chest and said, βI think I just saw contempt in the little pupβs eyes.β
βContempt?β Xu Zhi was taken aback. βCould a little wolf pup actually look down on people? That was almost too human!β
βZhou Lian, you must be mistaken. Itβs just a little wolf pup,β Xu Zhi reassured her.
Drumstick paid no mind to their speculations. It was busy enjoying the attention from Xia Xin, knowing well it had been promised a rabbit leg.
Having been fed raw meat all its life, which was rather tasteless, Drumstick had developed an affinity for the flavorful food Xia Xin provided. Now, it felt inseparable from Xia Xin.
Xia Xin patted Drumsticks head and said to Zhou Lian, βIβve named the little wolf pup βDrumstickβ.β
[Ahaha, this gal nearly killed me with laughter! Why not call the wolf pup βBig
Drumstickβ or βLittle Drumstickβ?]
[So cute, naming it Drumstick!]
[Quick, letβs crowdfund to get little wolf pups to pamperβno, no, to call βDrumstickβ.]
[Iβd love to have a little wolf pup like that.]
[Dream on, you lot, that wolf looks expensive.]
Hearing Xia Xinβs unique choice of name for the wolf pup, Zhou Lian couldnβt help but burst into laughter.
βQuite the character you are, giving a little wolf pup such a name. By the way, what are we having for lunch? I see youβve got a wild pheasant,β Zhou Lian brought up the lunch plan.
βWeβll make a soup with the legs, wings, head, and some mushrooms. The rest we can stir-fry, and the rabbit is perfect for roasting. Iβm afraid we might not have enough rice left, probably just enough for a couple of days,β Xia Xin shared her plan.
βNo worries about the rice; we can eat something else. Besides the rabbit, weβve also found some wild greens,β Zhou Lian presented the greens they had collected.
βWow, weβre in for a treat at lunch today!β chimed in Tian Mei, who had been silent until now. βIβm in for a real feast!β
βAnd what were you up to this morning, Miss Tian?β Xia Xin inquired, curious about Tian Meiβs morning activities.
βI was feeding the animals,β Tian Meiβs eyes darted away as she spoke. To dodge work, Tian Mei had feigned stomach trouble, ensuring the cameraman wouldnβt follow her. Then she found a shady spot to rest, intending to return in time for lunch. She hadnβt anticipated Xia Xin calling her out so blatantly.
βYouβre welcome to join us if youβve put in the work. But you havenβt done anything, β Xia Xin pointed out.
βI can help cook!β Tian Mei offered eagerly.
At that, Zhou Lian spoke up, βLetβs not. Everyone in the entertainment circle knows you are notorious for being a kitchen disaster.β
βI did not! Thatβs just a rumor!β Tian Meiβs face flushed with embarrassment.
Tian Mei couldnβt remember ever causing an actual explosion. Sure, there were incidents with overcooked dishes and forgotten water for rice, but years had passed. She refused to believe she hadnβt improved.
βFind something else to eat for yourself,β Xu Zhi said dismissively, as he began to prepare the rabbit.
As everyone got to work, Tian Mei hesitated, wanting to help. But she was startled by the sight of Xu Zhu skinning the rabbit, and equally grossed out by Jing MO plucking chicken feathers.
βUgh, cooking is so messy. I couldnβt bring myself to do it.β Tian Mei thought to herself.
Before Tian Mei could decide where to lend a hand, the others had already finished their prep work..
