Lea brought his hand to the tip of his nose and gave it a smell. It was a light yellow root smell that was left behind after tricking Nina.
His deep gaze looked uneasy, could it be that… Mengmeng had found out about him intervening in the conflicts between females?
Lea appeared tranquil on the surface but internally, he felt constrained and uneasy as he started speaking softly, “Yellow root.”
“Where? Is there any left? Give me some! Please!” Gu Mengmeng grabbed tightly onto Lea’s forearm with both hands and with every word, she crept closer to Lea. When she finished her last word, her entire body was almost touching the tip of Lea’s nose.
Lea was pretty overwhelmed by Gu Mengmeng’s sudden enthusiasm. The yellow root was not any rare item, why was she so anxious over it?
But, since she liked it, even if he had to empty out all the mountains of Saint Nazaire, he would do it.
“Yes, no matter how much you want, I have it.” Lea smiled gently and ruffled Gu Mengmeng’s head. He then evolved his white and fluffy large tail out conscientiously and swung it in front of Gu Mengmeng at times. Next, he ‘accidentally’ allowed Gu Mengmeng to catch it whole in a half-loathing and half-consenting manner and his large tail was lastly cuddled by Gu Mengmeng.
Lea did not mind the raw fish smell on Gu Mengmeng’s hands on his body and he just stared at her playing delightfully in a conniving and indulgent way. He set up a new fireplace with Elvis near the stream before Elvis explained Gu Mengmeng’s methods to him in a simpler way as the former handled the raw fish. Lea referred to Bode’s conscientious roasting process and together with Elvis’s account, he attempted to roast a fish himself.
He tore a piece of meat and tasted it, yeah, there was no strange taste, Mengmeng could eat it.
“Mengmeng, come, open your mouth.” Lea blew on a small boneless piece of meat and sent it to Gu Mengmeng who was playing in great fun with a tail alone.
Gu Mengmeng obediently opened her mouth and when the fish meat entered her mouth, her eyes sparkled brightly. Surprise was written all over her large innocent eyes as she looked at Lea, praising him, “Daddy Lea, you’re really a master chef! This fish is roasted until the outside is crispy and the inside soft. The honey and the fish meat goes so well together. This is truly perfection in the world.”
If she was not hugging onto the tail and was not busy, Gu Mengmeng really wanted to give Lea 10086 likes herself.
Lea was especially enjoying Gu Mengmeng’s exaggerated praise and no matter how many times he heard it, it was always effective. Thus, he gave the roasted fish to Elvis and let Elvis feed Gu Mengmeng while he turned around to handle the second one.
His Mengmeng was really too skinny. Since she liked to eat it, he would prepare more for her then.
The speed of Lea’s hands was really tremendously fast. Gu Mengmeng had just finished eating half a fish when he had already roasted around seven to eight fish. Gu Mengmeng really looked up to Lea for taking care of seven to eight grills at the same time, was this a newbie who had just came into contact with fire? This must be a newbie who had graduated from New Oriental.
But when Lea placed the seven to eight fish that were all around five pounds in front of her, signaling her to eat them, Gu Mengmeng froze…
“Daddy Lea, I’m full.”
Lea frowned, clasping his thin lips slightly while asking, “You’re eating so little?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded her head, implying that her appetite was just this big. She had already eaten half a fish that was at least one and a half pounds. One reason was because she was really famished and the other was because Lea’s cooking skills were not too bad. Moreover, the delicious taste of the primitive ecology fish made her appetite bigger. If it was a normal day, she could never finish so much food.
