Through their combined efforts—or more accurately, with Chu Tian busy barbecuing and Xu Qingqiu busy sneaking snacks—they finally managed to prepare a good amount of edible food before dark.
At first, Xu Qingqiu diligently helped him pass skewers and other items. However, after Chu Tian grilled the first batch and she took it away on a plate, that was the end of her assistance.
"Mmm~so delicious! Chu Tian, your cooking skills are amazing. You could totally open your own shop; it would definitely be a hit. Who did you learn this from?"
"It's all self-taught. Do you want to learn? If you do, I can teach you."
"Really? Great~" Xu Qingqiu agreed readily, but the skewer in her hand never paused.
So it went: one earnestly teaching, the other busily devouring skewers, until they finally finished just before dark.
Actually, Zhou Yiyi also joined them. She had come over to check on their progress after finishing her own cooking and ended up staying to eat.
