O God of BBQ! Spread Your Gospel!

“Hey hey, wouldn’t that expose my identity? Why did you mention Bìyáng Girls’ School just now?”

Because it was nearly twelve o’clock for the gathering time, after saying hello to Lei Miaomiao’s family, Tan Linhua and I headed toward the dock to prepare for our departure.

Since he was facing away from the bow, he turned his head to look at the direction. Hearing my question, he glanced at me out of the corner of his eye and said nonchalantly, “What else would you say? The Boys’ School? Then you’d be dead meat faster.”

“That’s true…”

“Hmph, you keep saying ‘I, Chang Kai, would rather die than wear women’s clothes,’ but what happened? You took advantage of your female appearance to dress up as a girl, deceive people, and play with emotions… and ended up being an idol?”

Lin Hua can be particularly hurtful when she speaks sharply… Indeed, the angelic Lin Hua was cuter when she was dressed as a girl.

“Cough, cough, that’s also a type of persona.”

I didn’t want to be treated like a girl, either!

Thinking about it carefully, it doesn’t seem problematic to reveal my gender to them. Apart from being hugged by Tian Qian a few times, I haven’t done anything too terrible. At worst, I’ll get beaten up by Lei Miaomiao again.

“Just trust me. Mentioning Bìyáng Girls’ School will do no harm. Next semester, if they want to find you, I can manage your student information and arrange a meeting. Of course, you have to wear girls’ clothes. Believe me.”

No wonder someone who hides a secret base in the teaching building is so extravagant. Could they be a shareholder of the school?

North Bridge Jue and her little angel were nowhere to be seen at the dock. Considering the timing, they must have returned early due to not being able to board.

The staff used hooks to guide our rubber boat to dock safely. The inflatable boat bounced a few times on the concrete dock before stabilizing.

The rubber boat dock is part of the artificial beach, so we didn’t need much time to return to the gathering point, which also helped with digestion.

BBQ Festival! BBQ! Charcoal-grilled meat! It’s something to look forward to!

Although I might be a cowardly herbivore in terms of emotions, when it comes to food, I am a pure carnivore.

If there were a God of BBQ in this world, I would surely be one of His most loyal followers.

“Speaking of Lin Hua, you still owe me a meal of grilled meat.”

“Oh, Kai, how greedy can you be!”

“What are you talking about? You agreed to it yourself!”

Back at the gathering point, Xiaotang and her group had already returned. Orange was lying on a lounge chair, while Yang Qi had fetched a dry towel and was wiping Orange’s tail.

As the leader of the event, Xiaotang stood with her arms crossed against an umbrella, looking impatient.

Seeing us return, she glanced at the waterproof bag containing her phone, raising one eyebrow.

“Exactly at twelve o’clock, you two really timed it perfectly. Now, only Zhao Zhao and North Bridge Jue are missing.”

“Zhao Zhao aside, has North Bridge Jue not returned yet? Around half past eleven, we met her at the rubber boat dock. She was with two other girls.”

“Girls?” Xiaotang slapped her forehead upon hearing this, “She caught some girls? I see, then we don’t need to worry about her. She’s probably having a feast with those two girls right now.”

It seems today wasn’t the first time she caught girls. So, North Bridge Jue is a seasoned flirt.

“Have you called Zhao Zhao?”

“Yes, he said he’s on his way here.”

Orange, stepping on fine sand with her hands behind her back, ran in front of me. Her wet orange hair stuck to her back. I looked at her confusedly, and she stared back at me with big eyes, about to enter the “what are you looking at?” “So what if I’m looking?” phase. Suddenly, she smiled and grabbed my wrist.

“Brother, from now on, I won’t let you go!”

Her hand was soft and warm, like a cat’s paw.

Even though she was wearing a relatively safe swimsuit, her small gesture made my heart race.

Hmm, what kind of cat was Orange originally? I remember she was very plump, but her appearance is hard to recall.

“Chairman, why don’t you borrow Orange for half a day today? You should thank me for my generosity.”

“What are you saying? Orange has always been my sister!”

“I apologize, legally speaking, Orange belongs to me now.”

“But Orange definitely loves me more!”

“That’s not necessarily true. After all, I sleep with Orange every night. Our bond is deeper!”

She hugged Orange demonstratively and rubbed her head.

“How unfair! I want to sleep with Orange too!”

“I’ll call the police!”

“Enough!” Orange interrupted our bickering, grabbing Xiaotang’s arm. “Don’t fight over me. You’re both my wings.”

I was stunned by this, and Xiaotang flicked Orange’s forehead. “Don’t imitate North Bridge Jue, that bad girl. She’s a negative example.”

Just then, Zhao Zhao returned. His large figure was easily noticeable as he ran, kicking up sand.

“Five minutes late, this is a serious offense!” Offending Xiaotang had severe consequences. “Today, Zhao Zhao, you’ll only eat vegetables for lunch.”

“A BBQ festival with only vegetables? Are you a demon?”

Both Xiaotang and Zhao Zhao were meat lovers like me.

Unexpectedly, there was a real BBQ camp inside this indoor water park, located in a cave near the exterior wall. The top of the fake mountain was the starting point for the “drift raft track.”

Due to the external camouflage as a cave, the interior decoration was in a stalactite style, with the hanging stalactites actually serving as hidden ventilation pipes.

We nine people got two large grills. Soon after Xiaotang ordered, the server pushed a cart loaded with meat to us.

Of course, it wasn’t all meat. After all, Xiaotang had to consider Zhao Zhao’s dietary needs.

Most people cooked their own portions. Xiaotang, the chaotic and evil one, lived up to her nickname “Panghu,” occasionally snatching others’ finished dishes.

Only Xiao Cangyu had it easy. Feng Wu not only cooked her meat but even cooled it down and fed it to her. She sat aside playing a game console, eating meat without lifting her head.

Damn, why don’t I have a sister who dotes on me?

Perhaps sensing my thoughts, Orange brought a plate to me and offered a piece of what looked like grilled fish.

“Brother, ah~”

Orange opened her mouth, seemingly prompting me to do the same.

Though I lacked a sister who doted on me, having a brother-fixated sister was nice, except…

“Orange, I’m touched, but this burnt fish can’t be eaten.”

Hearing this, Orange pouted unhappily and then opened her mouth to take a bite… gulping down orange juice.

“My fish!”

That wasn’t fish anymore! I snatched the charred former mackerel and threw it in the trash.

“Let Kai show you how to grill fish properly.”

Apply oil.

Sprinkle pepper.

Flip rhythmically.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Golden grilled mackerel.

“Taste it?” I brushed on sauce and handed it to Orange.

“Smells great! Brother, you’re a goddess!”

Actually, seeing Zhao Zhao chewing on a dry corn cob, staring blankly at the various meats on the grill, I suddenly imagined Xiao Lei’s pitiful face without meat. My heart softened.

So, during the fish grilling, I cooked an extra one.

Glancing at Xiaotang’s position, she was chatting with Tan Lin Hua at another grill. I wondered how they started talking.

“Here, quickly eat this before Xiaotang notices.”

“Chairman~”

I handed the fish to Zhao Zhao, but he didn’t react at all and didn’t move.

“There’s a demon behind you.”

Xiaotang had somehow appeared behind me. Are you Sakuya, the time-stopping character?

“Oh, who were you supposed to catch unawares?”

…Tsk, such a dangerous woman.

Because of various reasons, I ended up handling all the BBQ.

Xiaotang snatched my golden grilled mackerel, but she was very satisfied with my cooking skills. As a condition for allowing Zhao Zhao to eat meat, I had to handle a separate grill alone.

Then everyone realized I was quite skilled, so they all became lazy and stopped cooking themselves. If they wanted anything, they just placed the ingredients on my side, and I would cook them. Gradually, even the other grill was left empty, with only Feng Wu and Yang Qi occasionally cooking themselves.

Looking at the skewers and grilled meat in front of me, unable to eat myself, and constantly monitoring the fire, this was crueler than just eating vegetables. Am I a street vendor selling lamb skewers?

“It’s okay, the capable should bear more. Chairman, since you’re so good at BBQ, it’s fine to share with everyone, right?”

Sharing with everyone? So, am I now the God of BBQ spreading the gospel?

“But I want to eat meat too! Xiaotang, after all these years of friendship, can you bear to…”

“Of course I can.”

“You demon! One day, a white-haired man with a giant sword will come to hunt you down!… Whose chicken heart is ready?”

“It’s mine! Thanks, brother!”

“Orange, tell me what else you want to eat, brother!”

“You say that, but you actually enjoy doing this, don’t you?”

I do enjoy feeling needed, but that doesn’t mean I won’t feel sad if I can’t eat meat!

When the aroma of grilled meat hit my nose and the meat juices dripped onto the charcoal, turning into white smoke, I could only swallow my saliva uncontrollably.

Ah! My sorrow has become an ocean!

Please play Beethoven’s “Pathétique” for me.
