Previously, I never thought a meal could ever bring the mental state of two girls so close together.
If you thought Xiao Qin was just here to get a free meal, then you were very wrong.
It was not even ‘freeloading’. It was basically s.n.a.t.c.hing! She would still pretend to be reserved for a few seconds when the chef served the BBQ, but once he turned around, she immediately s.n.a.t.c.hed it off of Ai Mi’s plate!
She also plausibly said: “The food on another person’s plate is the most delicious! This is what I learned from my senior, Loud Mouth!”
How embarra.s.sing! You came uninvited, and now you are stealing food from the host? Also, when did Loud Mouth become your senior? Are you guys both a part of the glutton sect or something?
Ai Mi ordered the chef to prepare the barbecue because she was interested in it. Normally, Peng TouSi would not allow her to eat this much greasy food.
Ai Mi planned to eat more meat and high calorific foods while Peng TouSi was not here. Who knew Xiao Qin would rob her of her moment and s.n.a.t.c.hed the prawn that she was about to enjoy.
“Hmph, how rude! But I’ll forgive you once because of the manservant!”
Then, Ai Mi told the bodyguard to help her switch a plate. It seems like it was unsanitary because Xiao Qin had touched her plate with her fork and she needed a new plate.
A medium-well piece of steak came along with the new plate. Right when Ai Mi was thinking about how to attack it, Xiao Qin took the steak in a flash. She even showed me a victory sign while chewing her steak.
It was a bit strange since Xiao Qin did not really like steaks compared to seafood. Also, Chinese people aren’t even used to eating medium-well steaks? She seemed to be struggling to finish the steak, was she just looking for trouble?
Don’t you already have a lot of prawns are your plate? Why do you have to s.n.a.t.c.h food from Ai Mi’s plate?
Ai Mi definitely wanted to sic Obama or Peng TouSi to vent her anger, but neither of them were here.
Thus Ai Mi turned and blamed me: “Manservant, how did you teach her? Didn’t I tell you many times that you have to respect the owner?”
While Ai Mi was speaking, Xiao Qin grabbed a piece of corn from Ai Mi’s plate. I could not really see a master-servant relationship between the gleeful Xiao Qin and the depressed Ai Mi.
Do you even want corn? I am almost a hundred percent certain that Xiao Qin simply wants to take Ai Mi’s food, she is basically acting like a racc.o.o.n!
Ai Mi realized her plate was empty again after she spoke to me. She originally wanted to keep dining etiquette but she could not endure it anymore.
I thought it was boring having a serious meal, so I added fuel to the fire: “If Xiao Qin steals food from your plate, then you could steal food from hers! An eye for an eye!”
Ai Mi snorted: “How can people of upper society be as boorish as her…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the rib that was just given to her by the chef was also s.n.a.t.c.hed. The fragrant and succulent rib was one of the foods that Ai Mi wanted to gorge on.
“You…. b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You went too far!”
Ai Mi lost her cool and raised her fork to also s.n.a.t.c.h food from Xiao Qin’s plate.
Xiao Qin immediately switched to defense and used her knife and fork to protect two of her three prawns. I was not sure if it was intentional, but the remaining unguarded prawn was successfully s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Ai Mi.
“Ha ha! I got it!” Ai Mi raised the golden prawn that was on her fork and emitted pride as if she received an Oscar.
Before Xiao Qin could take it back, Ai Mi stuffed it into her mouth. Her cheeks swelled up in an instant and she spoke while chewing, making her speech extremely comical:
“Howzz dat, if I get serioushh, I wontt losee!”
As if to make the battle more intense, the chef put a whole plate of delicious food on top of the counter. The squid and oyster immediately caught Xiao Qin’s eyes, and she swooped in and took a large pile to put on her plate.
Ai Mi also began her attack. Although it looked like Xiao Qin had a tight guard, it was clear to me that there was an opening to let Ai Mi slip in. This time, the American doll was exceedingly happy.
Xiao Qin also did not show any weakness. She would s.n.a.t.c.h back food taken by the enemy. Ai Mi was terrible at defending and the spoils on her plate was quickly swept clean.
“Don’t get too complacent!” Ai Mi changed tactics and gave up on defense. She would try to s.n.a.t.c.h food from Xiao Qin’s plate every time Xiao Qin attacked.
Other than their two plates, there was still a large tray of bbq food on the table —— I already left the danger zone and stood near the barbecue to eat freshly made food. The oil specks flying off the food during their struggle almost burnt me to death.
The food battle between Xiao Qin and Ai Mi was hilarious.
When Xiao Qin did not move, Ai Mi did not move. When Xiao Qin attacked, Ai Mi would also attack.
That’s enough! Have some respect for the food! The food will be sad if you keep playing with it! Look at the prawn staring at you with those dead eyes!
I suddenly thought that under Ai ShuQiao’s discipline, Ai Mi might have always had to follow rules during a meal, and may never have experienced the feeling of fighting over food.
Was Xiao Qin deliberately playing with Ai Mi? Did she want her to experience life as a normal 12-year-old girl? You can’t tell if you do not look closely, but every time oil splatters up, Xiao Qin would prevent it from hitting Ai Mi. When she protects, she would purposely keep the food in a spot where Ai Mi could easily get it and she would not be burnt by the food.
Of course, she used a knife and fork to block oil splatters sent her way, and she displayed a high-level ability to use concealed weapons.
Due to the fact that Xiao Qin intentionally had to make her seem weak, and she had to spend a lot of energy to deal with oil splatters, they were tied even though they had a huge difference in skills.
After 15 minutes of battle, Ai Mi panted and so did Xiao Qin. It seems like they expended more calories than they consumed in this meal.
But the way the looked at each other seemed liked they have some appreciation for each other.
“Never thought Miss Ai Mi would be pretty good.”
Xiao Qin panted as she stabbed one of the prawns on the tray with her fork and it looks like she still kept her ground.
“Hmph, same could be said for you! You’re pretty good for a female servant.”
Ai Mi forcefully split a piece of flounder in half. She picked up a small piece and started to chew pretentiously.
“I heard that Miss Ai Mi has never been trained in this area… It’s amazing that you can show such strength in the first fight!”
“What do you know? Only commoners work hard! The talent of the n.o.bles are innate!”
“That means Miss Ai Mi might become a fearful opponent in the future…”
“I’m already a fearful opponent! You can keep practicing your commoner ways, I’ll be at the summit waiting for you to challenge me again!”
What the h.e.l.l? Do you guys think you are martial arts masters or something? You were only fighting over food and making the prawns and North Koreans cry, yet you make it seem as if you were two masters having a showdown?
I was able to eat a lot of barbecue since I was outside of their battle range, but even if I did not get to eat any I would have been filled up by anger!
Perhaps they were hungry after their battle, so they began eating honestly.
Xiao Qin turned around and gave me a look as if to say “Don’t I get along well with your sister? I’ll definitely have peaceful family relations after I marry into your family!”
Peaceful relations my a.s.s! You only know she was my sister by spying on me! Who wants a wife who wiretaps them before they even get married!
Maybe it was because I ate too much greasy foods and my bowels felt uncomfortable, so I asked 005 for the closest washroom.
005 said that there is one in the RV, but I thought it would be no different than a washroom on a plane. Just thinking about storing so much s.h.i.t in a closed s.p.a.ce, what happens if it exceeds the limit? Even if my fears are needless, should I not find a normal washroom since we are on land?
Thus I went towards the direction where 005 pointed to, I pa.s.sed through a walkway that cuts through a bamboo forest and went to a washroom where the actors frequented to finish my business.
I felt much light after I emptied my bowels and started humming as I headed back through the bamboo forest. I walked while kicking a pebble imagining I was a famous soccer player enjoying the cheers of the crowd (obviously I was not a player from the Chinese team…)
I accidentally lost control and sent the pebble flying. It struck someone on the knees, but I did not get the expected response of ‘Do you have any f.u.c.king eyes’ or ‘f.u.c.k!’, but instead I heard a metallic tremble.
I was surprised and realize there was an actor standing in full armor as if they were waiting for me.
I quickly recognized that he was the actor who kicked off the wall three times by Ai Mi —— His long braid was deeply memorable and I can see that his right foot was injured.
I was not sure why he looked so hesitant, he seemed like a completely different person when he was in front of the camera.
“Mr. Ye… Can I call you that?”
His voice was quiet and I could not hear him clearly due to his helmet, but I discovered something was off.
After he took off the helmet, I realized his long braid was not a prop, but something that originally belonged to the actor.
This… this actor who was treated roughly by Ai Mi was actually a girl! A skinny girl with a long pigtail! She seemed to be only 17 or 18 years old. Her delicate face gave a feeling as if she was far away from her homeland. The single tear under her left eye added to her forlorn expression… Her docile expression clearly showed that she had a request for me!
“Um, Mr. Ye, can you put in a few good words with Miss Ai Mi’er for me… so she won’t chase me away?”
