Chapter 67 - Almost Chock Her To Death (1/2)
The vehicle stopped at the sidewalk and Li Qin Yao then led Zhang Yu Han to an alley. After a two minutes walk, they arrived at a barbecue place.
A man in his late forty walked over to greet them. Once he saw Li Qin Yao, his expression brightened up. ”Young Miss! You're here! It has been a long time since the last time I saw you.” The owner of the restaurant greeted her with enthusiasm.
Zhang Yu Han glanced at the woman beside him as he followed her and the boss towards a vacant table. He then, sat quietly as he watched Li Qin Yao catching up with the owner before she placed an order.
”Do you want to add anything else?” Li Qin Yao said as she handed over the menu card to him.
After adding another two dishes to their order, the owner walked inside and ordered one of his staff to prepare the food quickly.
”You are very familiar with this place?”
Li Qin Yao smiled as a young boy put down a jug of warm water on the table. While grabbing the jug and pouring the water into the glass, she turned to Zhang Yu Han and said, ”You can say that. I used to live around here with my mother before she decided to move to B City. Back then, we used to come here a lot. The owner was our neighbor.”
Zhang Yu Han swept his gaze around to take a good look at the place where Li Qin Yao frequently visited while she grew up. Though the place was not that big, the surrounding was clean, and the owner and staff were friendly. Despite the late hour, the restaurant was half full of customers.
It wasn't long until the young boy returned, but this time, with a tray of raw ingredients.
Li Qin Yao was about to grab the meat and put it on the grill, but Zhang Yu Han had taken them and arranged the ingredients on the grill. The meat sizzled and the aroma wafted around. Looking at the way his hands moved swiftly to pick the strips of meat and lay them on the hot grill, her lips curved into a smile.
”You seemed quite good at this.”
”Well,” Zhang Yu Han raised his head and looked back at the grill once his gaze met with hers. ”You do know how my grandfather loves barbecue. He was the one who taught me how to grill food.”
”You went out to a barbecue place with your grandfather a lot?”
Zhang Yu Han chuckled. ”No. My grandfather loved the barbecue so much that he had an outdoor grill. He always tried different recipes, grilling meat and games in his backyard since I was a kid. Well, Miss Li, if he happens to invite you to a barbecue at his place, you shouldn't decline his invitation. He is a great cook.”
Li Qin Yao laughed, thinking that she was not close enough to Zhang Yu Han's grandfather to be invited to his house, while Zhang Yu Han was silently making a plan that perhaps he could use his grandfather to get close to Li Qin Yao in the future.
Even if his grandfather should not be eating too much meat, Zhang Yu Han thought that if he could use this excuse to spend time with Li Qin Yao, he will allow his grandfather to eat a little bit more.
