Chapter 184: Barbecue Under the Moonlight (1/2)

Wang Shu set the barbecue grill on the beach, skillfully put in the charcoal, and then covered it with an iron mesh. Suddenly, she thought of something and went back to the car, opened the car’s back and searched around a bit. Fiercely slamming it shut, she stood beside the car with a pensive look.

I looked at Wang Shu, feeling puzzled by her actions, “What’s wrong? What were you looking for?”

“Oh, Right!” Wang Shu heard my words and quickly turned towards me. With her eyes full of hope, she asked, “Do you smoke?”

“Smoke? I don’t smoke? Why? You were looking for a cigarette?” I asked her strangely.

“No, not a cigarette! I wanted to ask if you have a lighter! I forgot to bring a match!” Wang Shu replied anxiously.

“Sorry, I don’t smoke, so I don’t have a lighter!” I shook my head and said to her.

“Sigh! It seems like I will have to drive back and get a match!” Wang Shu said as her mood became dejected, “Forget it. Just wait for me here; I will drive back and buy a box of matches!”

“Oh, no need to go back. I will think of something,” I remembered when Chen Wei’er, and I got stuck on an isolated island; I had used a mobile phone battery to start a fire. I could also start a flame with my Special Powers, but how was I going to explain it to Wang Shu? {TL Note: Liu Lei and Chen Wei’er fell down a mountain during their school trip. They survived and arrived on an isolated island where he deflowered Chen Wei’er. Lighting a fire with a phone – V1C116 }

“Do you even have a way? How are you going to start a fire? By boring a hole in a piece of wood? Just like the ancient people!” Wang Shu said while looking towards me strangely.

“That’s also an option!” I smiled and stood up, thinking about how to start a fire without making Wang Shu suspicious about my abilities! Suddenly, I thought of something and smacked my forehead. It was such a simple matter, yet I wanted to use my Special Powers. Didn’t we already have a cigarette lighter in the car? {TL Note: Yeah, cars have a lighter: }

Wang Shu was a girl, so she probably didn’t pay attention to it, and I neglected it as I have already quit smoking in this life. But in my previous life, I used to light cigarettes with the lighter in my car!

I found a piece of wrapping paper from the supermarket stuff and jumped into Wang Shu’s car.

“What are you doing?” Wang Shu saw me hop into her car and thought I was going to the supermarket for the matches. Immediately, she exclaimed towards me, “Are you going back? Don’t go by yourself! I am afraid of the dark!”

“Oh…” I smiled and said to her, “You think I am as stupid as you! There are cigarette lighters in the car. Why would we need to go back and buy matches!” I said as I opened the cigarette lighter receptive inside Wang Shu’s car and inserted the wrapping paper. Although the heat produced by the lighter wasn’t little, it still wouldn’t be able to burn a wrapping paper in a short while. Even after a while, it barely produced small sparks on the corner of that piece of paper.

I felt anxious and honestly wanted to use my Special Powers, but Wang Shu was staring towards me nervously.

“Wang Shu, you go to the barbecue grill and arrange everything. Hurry!” I thought of a reason to send Wang Shu away.

As soon as Wang Shu walked away, I used my Special Powers on the wrapping paper, making it immediately light up with a flame.

I saw that Wang Shu had arranged the grill, so I immediately exited the car and rushed over to her, throwing the burning wrapping paper into the charcoal.

After a while, the charcoal slowly caught on fire. Wang Shu’s eyes were full of admiration as she looked towards me and said, “I never expected you to know so much. Hehe, today, I have learned something new from you! Next time I go out to barbecue, I won’t have to worry about forgetting the match!”

I said in my heart, ‘Yeah, you don’t need to bring a match only if you are going to go out for a barbecue with me!’
