Chapter 126: Chapter 122: There’s a Reward If You Come Back

Xie Jianing and her friends were rushing towards the lakeside.

However…

The lamb skewers remaining in their hands became the unexpected focus.

As they walked along…

The aroma of the lamb skewers in their hands filled the air, making it hard to ignore.

The rich smell was like an invisible magnet, drawing the attention of the tourists headed for the spectacle.

The irresistible aroma of the roasted skewers reached their noses, the golden exterior perfectly grilled — crispy and fragrant, glistening with tempting oil, and emitting waves of heat…

This wonderful combination of sight and smell made people drool, and the sparks on their taste buds were ignited in an instant.

The tourists couldn’t help but swallow, their steps halting as they found themselves involuntarily following Xie Jianing and her friends with their eyes, momentarily forgetting the purpose of their own visit…

Forgotten!

When they got closer…

The tourists still trying to dissuade Lv Pengfei couldn’t resist turning their heads when they smelled the aroma, and they were all dumbfounded one by one…

Goodness!

Jumping into the lake is such a serious matter, what do you mean by holding skewers like that?

If you’re going to join the excitement, just join, but why bring food?

Should there also be chairs arranged for you people? Lined up to sit, to eat and watch?

Lv Pengfei sniffed the tempting aroma wafting through the air, subconsciously looking towards the source.

He saw Xie Jianing and her friends standing in a row, each holding a fragrant lamb skewer in their hands, the golden exterior crisply grilled, emitting waves of heat.

He couldn’t help but swallow.

Meanwhile, Weiwei noticed Lv Pengfei standing alone outside the railing, she lifted her cute little head, blinking her lively big eyes looking at Xie Jianing, her eyes filled with curious puzzlement: “Miss Xie, what is that uncle doing standing outside the railing?”

Xie Jianing looked at Weiwei’s innocent look and explained considerately: “Oh, that uncle is about to jump into the lake!”

Weiwei became even more curious after hearing this and asked: “Miss Xie, why is that uncle going to jump into the lake?”

Now, Xie Jianing was stumped by the question.

She replied with a “helpless” expression: “Well… I just got here, I don’t know the situation either!”

Since the teacher couldn’t help her out, she decided to ask the person involved!

Weiwei blinked her eyes curiously looked at Lv Pengfei, and asked: “Uncle, why are you jumping into the lake? Are you going to swim?”

Lv Pengfei: “…”

Little one, can you show some respect? I’m jumping into the lake for relief, not for swimming!

Lv Pengfei felt utterly speechless!

The originally serious atmosphere was completely ruined by Weiwei’s innocent question…

Seeing that Lv Pengfei didn’t reply, Weiwei continued: “Uncle, my dad says swimming outside is very dangerous, you might drown if you’re not careful, listen to me, come back quickly, don’t swim here, if you want to swim, go to the swimming pool, it’s safe there…”

Lv Pengfei: “…”

Qingqing recalled how, in the past, when she and her little sister Weiwei were reluctant or naughty, their dad would always use food as a lure, tempting them irresistibly.

Then, under the charm of good food, they would always obediently compromise.

So, her eyes lit up with a plan in mind.

She decided to try using her dad’s method to help out her sister!

She batted her pretty eyes at Lv Pengfei and said in a soft voice: “Uncle, if you listen well, I’ll… I’ll reward you with these lamb skewers~”

Saying this, she extended the remaining lamb skewers in her hand forward.

Aiming for an enticing food temptation!

Seeing this, Weiwei hurriedly extended her own remaining lamb skewers, agreeing: “Uncle, I can also reward you with my lamb skewers…”

Lv Pengfei: “…”

Are they treating me like a child to be coaxed…

Faced with Qingqing and Weiwei’s innocent eyes and the lamb skewers in their hands, a complicated emotion surged in his heart.

He understood they were trying to get him back inside the railing in this way, but the scene made him feel somewhat at a loss.

At this moment, the aroma of the grilled lamb skewers drifted towards Lv Pengfei, so tantalizing he couldn’t help but gulp.

He had been working overtime at the company in the morning, his mood already heavy, and then he received a breakup text from his girlfriend, with no lunch in his stomach.

Anxiously searching for his girlfriend’s whereabouts, as soon as he found her, he drove over immediately to ask why.

Now, smelling the aroma, his stomach started to feel uncomfortable, hunger pangs growing stronger.

Lv Pengfei smacked his lips as if he could taste the delicious grilled lamb skewer…

Crispy on the outside, tender inside, flavorful and spicy with a fresh aroma, not greasy or gamy, the meat tender and delicious, he couldn’t help but feel a strong desire.

He had eaten grilled lamb skewers before, but never ones with such an enticing aroma.

These should be more fragrant than the ones he’d had before, right?

He had eaten such fragrant grilled lamb skewers before, that’s the key, if he really jumped into the lake, wouldn’t he never have the chance to eat them again!

And such fragrant grilled lamb skewer, even if he went to buy them at a store, he might not be able to get them!

He subconsciously said: “How about… you bring them to me!”

Goodness!

This is possible?!

Everyone was stunned, they momentarily doubted if their ears were hearing right.

After regaining their senses and confirming they hadn’t misheard, they couldn’t help but internally complain:

What’s this?

Do you want to feast before jumping?

Although Qingqing and Weiwei are young, they’re not fools or easy to trick.

The two little ones said in unison: “Uncle, you have to come back first, only then can you get a reward~”

Seeing Lv Pengfei gulp, showing a hesitant look, Xie Jianing and the other teachers felt hopeful and quickly whispered a few words to Qingqing and Weiwei.

The two little ones’ eyes lit up: “Uncle, if you don’t come back, we’re going to eat the grilled lamb skewers~”

Saying this, Qingqing and Weiwei sighed helplessly, then pretended to turn away.

You have to admit, these two little ones are truly drama queens, their acting skills surpassing many poker-faced actresses, so full of spirit!

At this point, Lv Pengfei’s mind was completely occupied by grilled lamb skewers, where’s the thought for jumping into the lake!

Seeing Qingqing and Weiwei really about to leave, he panicked, and quickly shouted: “Wait, I’m coming back, I’m coming back right now!”

Saying this, he frantically climbed back over the railing.

The tourists who had unsuccessfully tried to dissuade Lv Pengfei before were now dumbfounded.

Just now, Lv Pengfei had been all about seeking death, ignoring everyone’s persuasion, yet a few grilled lamb skewers convinced him to come back.

Is this a joke?

Are they playing with us?

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would’ve thought this was a carefully orchestrated script.

Bo Shujing also felt quite surprised and disappointed, a slight bitterness rising in her heart.

Three years of feelings, not as good as a few grilled lamb skewers?!

After the onlooking tourists snapped out of their shock, a thought popped into each of their minds: If they pretended to be heartbroken and jump into the lake now, could they also snag some delicious grilled lamb skewers?

Qingqing and Weiwei saw Lv Pengfei come down from the railing and immediately fulfilled their previous promise, handing over the uneaten grilled lamb skewers to him.

“Uncle, here are the lamb skewers, but you have to behave, okay, don’t climb out again~” the two little ones earnestly advised.

For the first time in his life, Lv Pengfei was so sincerely “educated” by children, feeling somewhat awkward.

He nodded, indicating he understood, and watched them leave.

And his stomach long since growling with hunger, he couldn’t wait to take a bite of the lamb skewer, wolfing it down.

Just then.

A police car roared and stopped at the outer edge of the crowd.

The car door opened…

Two policemen quickly got out of the car and ran over.
