Chapter 447 Sentinel to the World: The Delicate and Useless Guide VS The Cunning and Super-Powerful
As Su Jinyue listened to the introduction, she looked at the people. Only eight people were present. The remaining one was a military doctor who had been delayed by something and was still on the spaceship.
Su Jinyue wasn't very familiar with them, so after greeting them, she went to attend to other things.
With Xie Linchuan providing guidance, the barbecue shouldn't have any problems. Su Jinyue still needs to prepare some other dishes.
This also gives Xie Linchuan and his teammates time to communicate.
Su Jinyue went to the side to busy herself, while Liu Zhengkai quietly walked to Xie Linchuan's side, winking furtively and whispering.
"Boss, what's going on? You crash-landed on this uninhabited planet in an escape pod, and you've got a beautiful woman with you, who's even your guide! You're quite the lucky guy!"
The question asked by Vice Captain Liu Zhengkai was also a question that the other teammates were wondering about. They were grilling wild game according to Xie Linchuan's instructions, but they were all listening intently.
Xie Linchuan looked around and said irritably, "Don't talk nonsense! Miss Su was kidnapped by space pirates and crash-landed on this planet while escaping in an escape pod."
They landed before me, and they were the ones who treated my injuries. You all need to show some respect to Miss Su!
Xie Linchuan was already unhappy because their arrival had disrupted his confession plan.
Now, seeing Liu Zhengkai's disrespectful attitude towards Su Jinyue, she was even more furious, and her tone became even harsher.
The other teammates, having learned the reason and heard the captain's warning, naturally nodded obediently.
But Liu Zhengkai felt something was amiss. He had just realized that Su Jinyue's face looked familiar, and his boss had mentioned that this Miss Su had been kidnapped by space pirates.
Then he remembered, wasn't this Su Jinyue, the daughter of the Su family of the First Pharmaceutical Company on Capital Star?
Liu Zhengkai had just checked Su Jinyue's information, so she looked familiar.
Now he understood. No wonder the boss wanted to investigate Su Jinyue's information. At first, Liu Zhengkai thought there was something wrong with this Miss Su, but it turned out that his real intention was not what he thought.
Liu Zhengkai felt he had guessed the truth. A man and a woman alone together, spending several days and nights together, he couldn't believe they couldn't develop feelings for each other.
As for Xie Linchuan's statement that Su Jinyue healed his injuries, Liu Zhengkai assumed it referred to external injuries and automatically ignored it.
Liu Zhengkai leaned closer to Xie Linchuan and asked in an even softer voice, "Boss, Miss Su is very beautiful. You've been living together for several days now, I wonder if you've developed feelings for her..."
Xie Linchuan glanced at him sideways, said nothing, but his eyes were full of warning.
Liu Zhengkai sensed danger and knew that if he continued to ask questions, his life might be in danger. So, he put his hand to his mouth and made a zipping motion to indicate that he would no longer say anything.
Seeing that Liu Zhengkai had finally stopped causing trouble, Xie Linchuan continued to instruct the group on how to barbecue.
As time passed, the meat in their hands gradually cooked, and with the addition of seasonings, the aroma of the grilled meat slowly filled the air.
The eight people, including Liu Zhengkai, were so tempted by the aroma that they stared longingly at the roasted meat in their hands, wishing they could take a bite right now!
"Boss, is the barbecue cooked? Can we eat it now?"
The group was quite eager to see what was going on. It was strange, though, because when they were on the battlefield, when the fighting was intense and there were no nutritional supplements, they had also roasted meat.
But the barbecue they had eaten before was tough and dry, and they had to force themselves to eat it in order to fill their stomachs.
So when Xie Linchuan first assigned them the task of grilling meat, they wanted to refuse, since grilled meat was unpalatable and not as convenient as nutritional supplements.
However, since the boss insisted, they had no choice but to do as he said.
Unexpectedly, this barbecue was so unique. Just by adding some powdered stuff while grilling, the barbecue became so tempting!
Xie Linchuan was still slowly flipping the grilled meat, seemingly unaware of his teammate's eagerness.
"What's the rush? It's not cooked inside yet; it needs to bake for a while longer."
Hearing that it wasn't cooked yet, Liu Zhengkai and the others had no choice but to suppress their drool and patiently continue grilling.
Xie Linchuan looked up in Su Jinyue's direction, then handed the barbecue in his hand to Liu Zhengkai and got up to walk towards Su Jinyue.
Xie Linchuan noticed that while they were grilling meat, Su Jinyue was also busy.
He didn't want Su Jinyue to work so hard, so he said that the others could just drink nutritional supplements and there was no need for them to cook for them.
But Su Jinyue insisted on hosting, and Xie Linchuan had no choice but to let her go.
Actually, Su Jinyue didn't want to drink the unpalatable nutritional supplements, but it wasn't appropriate for her and Xie Linchuan to eat alone, so she had to go through the trouble of entertaining them.
"Jinyue, are you done with your work? You don't need to prepare too much; the roasted meat is enough for them."
They've never seen such fine things before. It's so elaborately made that they can't even taste the flavors; it's such a waste!
"It's almost ready." Su Jinyue raised her head, smiled, and looked at Xie Linchuan, who felt sorry for her.
"It's only right that your teammates come to pick you up, but I don't know them well, and I'll have to trouble them to take me back to the capital planet."
I have nothing else to offer them, so this is all I can do."
Xie Linchuan disagreed with Su Jinyue's words: "You are my savior!"
Besides, they are all warriors, and protecting the citizens of the Empire is their duty.
From both a moral and logical standpoint, they have no reason to stand by and watch you die!
Not to mention, you'll be their sister-in-law from now on.
Xie Linchuan didn't say the last sentence aloud, but he had already made up his mind about it.
Su Jinyue tugged at Xie Linchuan's sleeve and comforted him, "Alright, alright, it's just a meal, I can still cook it."
Besides, you've already done the most important part—the grilled meat—for me.
If you're free, could you please bring over the food I've prepared? It's time to eat.
Xie Linchuan's anger subsided considerably after Su Jinyue tugged at his sleeve.
When he heard that Su Jinyue needed his help, he obediently began to do so.
Su Jinyue had already prepared a dish before Xie Linchuan's teammates arrived, but the portion was small.
With so many people, barbecue alone wouldn't be enough, so Su Jinyue boiled some yams and sweet potatoes as their staple food.
When I was picking wild vegetables, I found a nest of about ten wild eggs. I can make a wild vegetable and egg soup and that will do the trick.
With so many people and no suitable stones nearby to use as tables, Su Jinyue found an open space and laid out a large cloth to serve as a dining table.
When Xue Yanchen got off the spaceship and came to meet up with his teammates, he saw his teammates gathered around a fire, roasting something, and the air was filled with a pleasant aroma.
