Chapter 437: Ostracized

Shi Mu had already gotten someone to prepare a barbecue grill here. There were various vegetables, meat, and seasonings.
As the only two men, Yuan Yi and Shi Mu took the initiative to bear the responsibility of barbecuing.
Shi Man pulled Bai Xue and Su Tang to sit on a small chair at the side and whispered.
The three girls spoke and even looked in the direction of Shi Mu and Yuan Yi from time to time.
Shi Mu was curious, but he couldn’t push all the work to Yuan Yi. He could only endure the uncomfortable feeling of having his heart and lungs scratched. He obediently lit the stove, racked the grill, and began to roast the meat.
The moon and stars were sparse in the night sky. The cool breeze on a summer night could easily sweep away the sweltering heat of the day. The suburbs were not as noisy as the city, but they had a unique quietness at night.
The place Shi Man and the others had chosen happened to be by the sea. Occasionally, a beam of light shone over from the lighthouse, illuminating the dark night.
The fragrance of meat finally spread in the air.
Shi Mu had just roasted the beef in his hand when he couldn’t wait to come over and hand it to them. He asked with a smile, “What were you talking about just now? I saw you lower your heads and talk for a long time.”
Shi Man narrowed her eyes with a naughty smile and glanced at Bai Xue.
Shi Mu’s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly followed her gaze and saw that Bai Xue had given her portion of beef to her mother.
Shi Mu widened his eyes in surprise and asked in confusion, “Why aren’t you eating? There’s still a lot!”
Bai Xue smiled and did not say anything. Instead, she asked her mother if it was delicious.
Mrs. Bai naturally wouldn’t say that it wasn’t delicious. The few of them ate happily, treating Shi Mu as air.
Yuan Yi smiled as he sized up the situation here. He also brought over the skewers of cooked vegetables.
This time, Bai Xue took them and even ate one.
Shi Mu was suddenly a little angry. He frowned and walked back to the grill. His hand that had just picked up the meat paused for a moment before putting it down again. This time, he roasted many skewers and brought them over.
Bai Xue handed her share to her mother as usual, but she ate the beef that Yuan Yi roasted this time.
Not only did she eat it, but she also smiled sweetly at Yuan Yi and praised him gently, “Big Brother Yuan’s cooking is really good. This is the best barbecue I’ve ever eaten.”
Shi Mu immediately lost his temper. He scratched his head and walked back to the barbecue grill in frustration. He looked at Yuan Yi beside him and suddenly felt that he was an eyesore. He pushed him away angrily and said, “Go, go, go. Sit on the side. Do you know how to roast? I’ll roast it myself.”
Yuan Yi pretended not to understand as he blinked his eyes innocently and said, “But Miss Bai praised me for roasting deliciously and it was the best meal she had ever eaten.”
Yuan Yi deliberately emphasized the last few words and gritted his teeth.
Shi Mu’s expression darkened even more. It was so dark that he would probably have become one with the night if not for the light of the lighthouse sweeping over.
“That’s because she hasn’t seen the world. The best meal? Aren’t you ashamed?” Shi Mu rolled his eyes at him and pushed him out in disgust. “Go up and sit at the same table as them. Don’t disturb me.”
Yuan Yi shrugged helplessly. He looked innocent and pitiful, but in fact, he could not hide the smile in his eyes.
He was happy to wait to eat the ready-made food. He sat down with a smile and chatted with Shi Man and the others. Mrs. Bai and Bai Xue were even more enthralled by his interesting experience overseas.
For some reason, Shi Mu wanted to flip the stove.
However, he endured it again and again. In the end, he walked over with a dark expression and a handful of meat skewers. However, he deliberately bypassed Yuan Yi. Everyone received a few skewers, except for Yuan Yi.
Yuan Yi looked up at him in confusion and called him “Brother Mu” aggrievedly.
Shi Mu ignored him. He turned to Shi Man and asked with a smile, “Sister, does the beef that Brother roasted personally taste good?”
“It smells good!” Shi Man praised without hesitation.
Shi Mu cried silently in his heart.
Sob, sob, sob. His sister was still the best!
As he thought this, Shi Mu looked at Bai Xue indignantly. He wanted to see the shame on her face, but he saw her give more than half of the barbecue in her hand to Yuan Yi.
Shi Mu’s tail, which had just curled up proudly, drooped again. He gritted his teeth in the night.
Su Tang was right beside him. Her entire body trembled from this tooth-numbing sound. She could not help but complain softly, “Fourth Brother, quickly retract your divine power. 1 know you know how to grind your teeth!”
Shi Mu quickly threw a glare at her, but he stopped making the noise. He snorted and turned back to the grill to continue working.
Hmph! He served them without eating a single bite, but only his sister praised him!
He should only prepare food for his sister and himself and starve them to death!
Mrs. Bai sat at the side for a long time and felt even more uneasy to let Young Master Shi serve her personally.
She couldn’t sit still and stood up. She took the initiative to walk to Shi Mu’s side and rubbed her hands awkwardly. “Um, Xiao Mu, Auntie knows how to roast these too. Why don’t you let Auntie do it? You can go and rest and eat something..”
