Chapter 1900 - 1895: A Bad Premonition

Hu Xiaobei’s question quickly brought them back to reality.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, they exchanged glances and whispered, "We’re... We’re just excited. The taste of this rabbit is simply too good!"

"Right, it’s really good!"

Not only Qiaoqiao, but even Guaiguai was excited...

Because the taste is truly exceptional.

Previously, they had smelled the aroma of grilled fish.

They could confirm, these are entirely different scents.

The flavor of this rabbit is far better than the grilled fish they had before...

"Grilled rabbit naturally tastes a bit better, and I marinated it beforehand."

Watching their excitement, Hu Xiaobei chuckled with a calm demeanor.

Even while chatting with them, Hu Xiaobei didn’t forget about the rabbit meat still grilling, so he kept turning it over.

With Hu Xiaobei’s actions, more excess oil quickly dripped into the fire.

As the drops fell, the fire became more vigorous.

...

Almost golden-yellow in color!

Half an hour later, Hu Xiaobei looked at the rabbit he grilled, and at this moment, the whole rabbit had shrunk to half its previous size.

This level of contraction made its meat appear even more tender.

So, let alone eating it, just looking at it was truly a delightful experience.

Knowing it was almost ready, Hu Xiaobei quickly took out the pepper and other seasonings.

Just about to sprinkle them, he heard an eager inquiry, "Xiaobei, can we eat now?"

Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei helplessly rubbed his nose.

"This is the tenth time I’ve answered you, it’s not ready yet."

Seeing Hu Xiaobei’s wry smile, she stuck out her fragrant tongue and softly defended, "But, another minute has passed since I last asked! I feel like it should be ready now!"

"I..."

Hearing her soft defense, Hu Xiaobei’s mouth twitched!

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei truly didn’t know what to say...

After thinking it over, Hu Xiaobei chose to remain silent...

He continued to focus intently, knowing the only way to make her stop talking was to fully grill the rabbit meat.

There was truly no other solution.

Five minutes later, after preparing all the seasonings, Hu Xiaobei began to extinguish the fire.

"It’s ready now!"

They excitedly rubbed their hands together.

The past five minutes were honestly the longest five minutes of their lives.

Because of the added seasonings, its flavor was even better, so they had smelled it very clearly...

And because they smelled it so clearly, they were truly more excited.

Every second felt especially long to them.

...

"Thank you for waiting. It’s completely ready now!"

As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei shook the rabbit meat in his hand.

Having been marinated and grilled, it looked particularly enticing.

"Xiaobei, you’re amazing!"

Upon hearing this particularly admiring comment, Hu Xiaobei quickly tore off one of its legs.

With Hu Xiaobei’s actions, the fragrant aroma spread even more pervasively.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei tear it off, Qiaoqiao hesitated not and quickly grabbed it.

"It’s really so fragrant!"

In genuine admiration, she quickly began to taste it.

Watching her eager demeanor, Hu Xiaobei gently smiled.

Aware there were others waiting, Hu Xiaobei didn’t dare hesitate, quickly tearing off another leg.

"Thank you, Xiaobei!"

Compared to Qiaoqiao, Guaiguai retained a bit of rationality.

"There’s no need to be polite with me, hurry and taste it, otherwise Qiaoqiao might eat the whole rabbit herself."

Knowing Hu Xiaobei was joking, she said nothing, only glanced at Qiaoqiao.

When she saw that Qiaoqiao’s rabbit leg was nearly eaten, she was somewhat surprised...

Taking a deep breath, she opened her pearly teeth and began to chew slowly.

"Delicious!"

The moment she bit into it, Guaiguai’s eyes lit up.

The texture is exceptionally chewy...

The fish meat before didn’t have much chewiness, but this truly had that feeling where no matter how much you chewed, it wouldn’t break down.

The most important thing is that with each chew, the flavor of the meat flooded her entire mouth.

And it grew increasingly intense...

"This is too delicious!"

Before, she thought even with added seasonings, it wouldn’t change much.

Now she knows she was wrong, because this is not merely a change, but even a transformation in quality.

Seeing their astonished expressions, Hu Xiaobei felt quite pleased...

With a gentle smile, Hu Xiaobei tore off a small piece and placed it in his mouth.

After lightly chewing for a while, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes.

The sauce he prepared earlier had thoroughly infused during the marinating process.

This flavor infusion added a subtle yet unique twist to the already perfect texture of the rabbit meat.

So although it may not be perfect, it’s pretty close.

"If I find the taste good myself, they’ll surely be especially satisfied."

While muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei heard an eager plea from Qiaoqiao, "Xiaobei, give me another piece, another piece."

Upon hearing this eager plea, Hu Xiaobei glanced at her and saw that the rabbit leg she held was completely eaten.

Really!

She was now close to even eating the bone.

"No problem, there’s plenty!"

As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei tore off another rabbit leg...

Watching her eagerly munch away again, Hu Xiaobei suddenly thought the rabbit might be a bit small!

"If it were as big as the Treasure-hunting Rabbit, they could probably eat a bit more! Maybe I should just grill the Treasure-hunting Rabbit next? It seems like it would be more convenient!"

Thinking of the troublemaking Kenghuo, Hu Xiaobei felt this suggestion wasn’t bad...

As Hu Xiaobei pondered this, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit lying in the sun with Xiaobai and Hei suddenly shivered.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Xiaobai and Hei looked at it, puzzled.

It glanced around, somewhat nervously laughing, "I don’t know what’s going on, it feels like someone is thinking of me!"

Just now, while having a pleasant dream, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit suddenly sensed a threat...

This sense of threat made it especially frightened, hence its frantic glances.

Seeing it wasn’t joking, they exchanged a curious glance.

"Why don’t we feel it?"

"Exactly!"

"I don’t know, maybe it’s just my imagination!"

Carefully sensing again, and not feeling any more of that strange sensation, it lay down once more...

Seeing it return to calm, Xiaobai and Hei didn’t think too much and closed their eyes again, continuing to enjoy the warm sun...

...

Meanwhile, after they devoured the entire rabbit, Hu Xiaobei lightly smiled, "How do you feel now? Full yet?"

"I’m not!"

"Neither am I!"

"You truly leave people in awe!"

Hu Xiaobei sighed with some helplessness.

Then, Hu Xiaobei changed the topic, saying, "Even if you’re not full, let’s leave it at that for now. We need to go check on the patient!"
