Godzilla and Big Quinn nodded approvingly while eating the stew with bread after having added the chili.

Godzilla loved to smack his lips while eating. Although Big Quinn had been brought up well and ate his meals quietly, having spent so much time with Godzilla made him pick up the habit of smacking his lips as well.

Li Du considered it to be a bad habit. When he was young, his parents would hit his mouth with chopsticks whenever he smacked his lips while eating.

However, truth be told, when eating in a group, the smacking of lips was satisfying and made the meal seem more scrumptious.

Consequently, hearing Godzilla and Big Quinn smacking their lips made him follow suit.

Sophie noticed it and gave him an admonitory stare.

Li Du was stunned. ”What's the matter? You want some chili, too?”

Sophie was left speechless. She decided to set a good example by eating her stew and bread in small bites.

Sadly, Li Du had no intention of correcting himself. Seeing that Sophie had no request, he affably pushed the pickled bamboo shoots in front of her and continued devouring his food while smacking his lips.

Sophie placed a crisp and tasty piece of the bamboo shoot into her mouth. As it had been in ice, it was cool, which made it taste even better.

With that, she no longer cared about Li Du's table manners and was happily eating the cooling sweet and sour bamboo shoots that were simply delectable.

After placing a piece inside his mouth, Godzilla smiled, pointed at the bamboo shoots and said, ”Eat this! They are delicious.”

Without hesitation, Li Du pushed the container of bamboo shoots nearer to Sophie and said defensively, ”These were prepared for your boss's lady. You guys can eat the meat!”

”It's not as delicious as the bamboo shoots,” Godzilla argued.

Li Du mumbled, ”You aren't dumb after all. Of course, the bamboo shoots are the best.”

”You cannot do this, Boss. We are your most loyal subordinates, and what you are doing will affect our trust in you,” Big Quinn exaggerated.

Godzilla added, ”And it won't affect you.”

Seeing the three quarrel, Sophie chuckled before proceeding to split the bamboo shoots in the container in half, leaving one half for herself. She pushed the other half in front of the two and said, ”That's for me, and these are for you two.”

Godzilla, with his fast reflexes, took their half and poured it straight into his own bowl.

Big Quinn was dazed. ”Would you understand what I mean if I were to say f*ck?”

They had to start work after their meals. As the National Park was surrounded by barren lands, its temperature was higher than that of Flagstaff's. Even the afternoon winds were hot here.

Unfortunately, by the time they finished their meals it was already two o'clock, which was the hottest time of the day. All they had to do was stand under the sun for a while, let alone do work, to be completely drenched in sweat.

Li Du lifted the four corners of the tent, pumped air into the air cushion of the sleeping bag and proceeded to lay on it with Sophie to cool off.

Ah Meow, Crispy Noodles, and Ah Ow lay around them. The three of them were heating up Li Du like three small furnaces, causing him to constantly wipe his sweat.

Sophie's cheeks were flushed. Li Du helped her to wipe her sweat and asked, ”How is it? Do you regret coming here now?”

The female doctor was unperturbed and replied, ”Don't look down on me. I am not like a greenhouse's small delicate flower. When I was interning at a war hospital in Iraq, I once had to perform surgery on people in the trenches while enduring the 50 plus degree weather.”

”You are amazing,” Li Du praised.

Big Quinn raised a beer and asked, ”Boss, want one?”

Li Du shook his head. ”No thanks, I will drink tonight instead.”
