How could Chu Ran realize all this? At this moment, she could only see the piece of snake meat in her hand and had no idea that she was the only one eating the meat.

When she came here, she was also staring at the snake meat in the pot. Unexpectedly, the person who cooked the meat gave her a piece. There was no reason for her to refuse. She thought the children next to her had tasted it!

Chu Ran had no idea that it was because her eyes were too eager that the person in charge of frying the meat gave her a piece.

"How is it? Is it delicious? How does it taste?" Lin Xi asked three questions in a row!

"Delicious, delicious..." Chu Ran answered vaguely. After eating, he licked his fingers, seeming to be still unsatisfied!

"How come you are greedier than a child? Didn't you notice that you are the only one eating it?"

“How could it be possible that I was the only one who ate it? They ate it too! Why are you only blaming me…” Chu Ran pointed at the children sitting in a row with grievance.

"you sure?"

"Of course I am sure." In order not to look guilty, Chu Ran deliberately raised his voice when he said this.

"Then ask them yourself!" Lin Xi really didn't want to discourage her, but still wanted her to face the facts.

"Just ask..." Chu Ran was sure that they had already eaten, so he answered so confidently!

"You have all eaten snake meat, right? Don't you think it's delicious?"

"We haven't eaten it yet. Can you let us eat meat now?"

Several children shook their heads at the same time, and one of the braver children even made a request.

Uh! Chu Ran smiled awkwardly. She didn't expect this result. Was she too stubborn just now?

Seeing the child's pleading eyes, Chu Ran nodded for some reason and agreed to help them ask.

But what she didn't expect was that before she even opened her mouth, the uncle who had just given her the meat started to yell at the kids, "Go play somewhere else and don't bother me here, or I'll tell your parents and see if they'll reward you with a meal of bamboo shoots and fried meat."

When the kids heard that they were going to tell their families, they no longer cared about the meat that was yet to be eaten and ran away. They thought they could eat it later anyway, so the most important thing was to save their own buttocks.

"Uncle..." Chu Ran wanted to say something else, but was interrupted before he could finish. "Chu Zhiqing, stop talking. We can't spoil all the children. There are so many children in this village, how can we take care of them all? Anyway, they will have dinner soon, so they won't starve."

"Okay!" Chu Ran suddenly wilted. It turned out that he was not even as good as a child.

Although she really wanted to ask him why he let her taste it first, she didn't ask when she saw that he was busy and sweating. She let Lin Xi pull her to sit on the stone under the jujube tree.

"Are you so devastated?" Lin Xi was originally quite happy to see her being humiliated, but after seeing how deeply devastated she looked, she couldn't bear it anymore.

"It's okay, I'll be fine after a while." Chu Ran didn't know if he was talking to Lin Xi or to himself.

"Okay, don't be unhappy. It's just a piece of meat. We can afford it. I killed the snake. What's wrong with you eating a piece? Even if you eat until you're full, no one will dare to say a word." Lin Xi comforted the hurt Chu Ran in a domineering manner, hoping that she would become the carefree person she used to be.

"It seems that what you said makes sense!" Chu Ran finally smiled.

"Tell me about the process of beating the snake! I want to hear it from your own mouth."

Although she had heard some things from other villagers, she still wanted to hear Lin Xi say it with her own ears. How could what others said be the same as what the protagonist said? Of course, what the protagonist said was more thrilling!

"Okay... I'll tell you..." Seeing that she was no longer frowning, Lin Xi finally felt relieved.

Lin Xi was telling Chu Ran the whole process in his ear, while the chef in charge of cooking in the threshing ground was also busy cooking.

At first, Chu Ran was listening attentively, but soon her attention was distracted by the fragrance in the air. Finally, she couldn't listen anymore and squatted back to her previous position, staring at the food in the pot. Lin Xi could only smile helplessly.

Although Chu Ran was drooling, he refused the uncle's offer every time and endured until it was time to eat.

"time to eat!"

The village chief made the announcement with a loud speaker. Chu Ran didn't care about anything else when she heard it. She ran to the seat closest to her and sat down without caring who was sitting next to her. Her eyes followed the waiter all the time.

Braised snake meat, stir-fried snake meat, garlic snake meat, spicy snake meat, steamed snake meat, and a snake meat soup, and finally a stir-fried cabbage!

Looking at the table full of dishes, the villagers who had not tasted meat for a long time of course ate with relish, even wolfing down the food. Everyone's mouth was full, and they were either eating meat or on the way to picking up meat.

Although Chu Ran has no shortage of meat to eat, he has no idea how to cook it deliciously!

His mouth was stuffed like a little squirrel, but his movements of picking up food were no slower than those of the villagers.

"Eat slowly. Swallow what's in your mouth first and then put more food in. What if you choke?" Seeing Chu Ran putting so much food in her mouth, Lin Jue was really worried that she would choke, so he considerately placed his military water bottle in front of her.

"Cough cough..." Chu Ran, who was happily eating meat, suddenly felt that the meat in her mouth was not fragrant after hearing Lin Jue's voice. She was so frightened that she kept coughing.

When did he sit next to her? How come she didn't notice?

So, he saw me eating just now?

Thinking of this, Chu Ran really wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in. It would ruin her image as a lady!

"I told you to eat slowly, look, you choked!" Lin Jue saw that she didn't drink the water and patted her back gently.

He was not afraid of being discovered by others. Besides, everyone was scrambling for meat, so who would notice them?

"It's because I was scared by you." After coughing for more than a minute, Chu Ran finally recovered and glared at Lin Jue, the culprit?

Lin Jue said that he was innocent and he was just giving a kind reminder, but he didn't expect to scare her instead. This was really not his intention!

"Okay, it's my fault, you can hit me or scold me." Lin Jue admitted his mistake. He had read a sentence in a miscellaneous book before, "No matter if it's your fault or not, it must be your fault in front of the woman you love."

"Forget it, it's none of your business. I ate too fast."

Seeing that he admitted his mistake so quickly, Chu Ran's anger immediately subsided. What's the point of being angry? It would be better to eat two more pieces of meat. So Chu Ran joined the army grabbing meat again.
