Chapter 1.4: The Youth with the Spirit Eyes (*nothing changed)

Author notes: * 100% same with the original

The girl ran towards Huo Yuhao in high spirits. A greedy, hungry look appeared on her face as she said, "Little brother, are you selling this roasted fish? It smells so good! How did you make it?"

It wasn't that Huo Yuhao hadn't ever seen beautiful girls before. While he was in the Duke's Mansion, many of the servant girls had been very pretty, however none of them had ever come as close as the girl in front of him before. Furthermore, none of the girls in the Duke's Mansion were comparable to the girl in front of him either. She wasn't an absolute beauty that was perfectly flawless, but she had a sort of outstanding temperament.

Huo Yuhao's face turned somewhat red as he replied, "I-I'll treat you both to a meal."

The girl giggled in response. "Little brother, you've even become embarrassed. Then, I won't be polite." As she talked, she stretched her hand out to take the roasted fish that Huo Yuhao had passed over. She didn't seem to care about what she looked like as she carefully ate the roasted fish, then let out a loud cry of "Hot!".

At that moment, the youth that had been following the girl walked over. He had a helpless look on his face as he raised his hand and greeted Huo Yuhao. Then he said to the girl, "Xiao Ya, this little brother hasn't even eaten yet, yet you've already started eating."

Xiao Ya's beautiful eyes widened as she angrily retorted, "What did you just call me?"

The youth immediately raised his hands in surrender, "Fine, Teacher Xiao Ya, that should be fine, right?"

Xiao Ya stared at him coldly and said, "That's the way that it should be. You should pay attention to your status." Although she wasn't that old, her gaze was filled with a charming look. The onlooking youth couldn't help but have his expression turned blank. Huo Yuhao, who was to the side, didn't dare to continue looking. He passed the other fish that he'd roasted to the youth and said, "Big brother, this is for you."

The youth smiled and said, "Gentlemen shouldn't take good things that belong to others. Little brother, you still haven't eaten. Did you catch these fish in the river?"

Huo Yuhao nodded his head and said, "It's not a problem, I can still roast more." While he spoke, he handed the roasted fish to the youth. Then, he skillfully took two of the fish that he'd set aside, so that he could roast them on the wooden rack.

The youth gently smiled and said, "I'm Bei Bei and she's Tang Ya. Little brother, what's your name?"

"I'm Huo Yuhao." He replied whilst carefully roasting the fish. During his journey, he'd met many travellers while sleeping outdoors, and had also received a lot of help from them. Thus, he hadn't hesitated to give Tang Ya one of the fish he'd roasted when she asked. The past few days had taught him the fact that people had to mutually help each other while they were outdoors.

Bei Bei sat next to Tang Ya. The way he ate the roasted fish was much more graceful than Tang Ya's. At the very least, his hands weren't fully stained with oil.

By the time Huo Yuhao had finished roasting the second batch of fish, Tang Ya was already impatiently waiting. Under Bei Bei's helpless gaze, she snatched another roasted fish.

However, Bei Bei was unwilling to eat another fish, thus he motioned for Huo Yuhao to eat first. Huo Yuhao was already hungry, so he ate the other fish while continuing to roast more.

Although the seasonings used on the roasted fish were only salt and purple basil, the roasted fish's taste was extremely delicious. And although the ten fish weren't that big, their size together was still quite large. All of the fish were eaten by the three.
