Tang Ya stood there blankly for a moment, staring at Huo Yuhao in a daze.
When she finally came back to her senses, Tang Ya immediately walked over to Huo Yuhao with a mischievous grin on her face.
"Who would've thought, Yuhao Didi? You're actually this handsome."
"That little face of yours is so pretty, even this big sister's heart is fluttering. How did I never notice how good-looking you were before?"
As she spoke, Tang Ya reached out and stroked Huo Yuhao's cheek.
She found Huo Yuhao's skin unbelievably smooth, wonderfully comfortable to touch.
Her own skin was quite good too, but compared to Huo Yuhao's, it somehow seemed less soft and supple.
For a moment, Tang Ya actually felt a little jealous.
"Yuhao Didi, hurry up and tell me—how exactly do you take care of your skin?"
Huo Yuhao spread his hands helplessly. "I was born this way, Tang Ya-jie. Where would I find the time to take care of things like that?"
Tang Ya let out a breath full of envy.
After moving closer to Huo Yuhao, she suddenly caught a faint scent coming from him and could not help asking:
"You smell so nice, Yuhao Didi. Did you put on perfume?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head at Tang Ya.
In fact, he had noticed it while bathing earlier. There was indeed a faint fragrance on his body.
But he had never smelled like this before. It seemed to have appeared only after the Holy Spirit Baptism.
Thus, Huo Yuhao attributed the scent to the Holy Spirit Baptism.
He did not dare keep bantering with Tang Ya here.
Tang Ya treated him very well, but she was far too terrifying.
She kept touching and pinching his body while standing there.
He was still an innocent, untouched young man. How could he let Tang Ya keep taking advantage of him like this?
So he hurriedly said to Tang Ya:
"Jie, let's go eat first. After dinner, we can go sell fish. Don't eat too much—you can try my big grilled fish later."
At the thought of that flavor, Tang Ya could not help licking her lips. She smiled and said:
"Of course, Yuhao Didi. After eating it once last time, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I've been craving your big grilled fish this whole time. Some nights, when I got hungry, I craved it so badly I couldn't even sleep."
Huo Yuhao smiled and went with Tang Ya to the cafeteria's serving area to get some food.
The two of them had a simple dinner.
Afterward, Tang Ya directly led Huo Yuhao out of Shrek Academy.
They stopped not far from Shrek Academy's entrance.
There were no more students registering here now. Countless vendors had gathered along both sides of the main road outside the eastern gate, their goods laid out in dazzling variety.
They sold all kinds of things, though the majority were food vendors, their cries of sale rising one after another.
Clearly, they had come here to do business with Shrek Academy's students.
Tang Ya quickly took out everything she had prepared in advance.
She had prepared very thoroughly: a metal grill specially made by a craftsman, iron racks, all kinds of seasonings, and Black Carp that had already been killed and cleaned.
She arranged everything neatly atop a small table.
Huo Yuhao was quite touched by the sight.
After all, unlike the original Huo Yuhao, he had not joined the Tang Sect this time.
Yet Tang Ya had still put her whole heart into helping him.
If it had been anyone else, once they learned he was in trouble, it would have been impressive enough if they did not immediately make an excuse and run away, let alone help him so wholeheartedly.
Someone like Tang Ya was truly rare.
"Alright, now it's time for you to show off your skills. I've already worked out how to sell the fish too. Five Copper Coins per fish would be best. Remember to save two for me—I want to eat them later."
"You sell the fish first. I'm going up ahead to get some other snacks and satisfy my cravings."
Tang Ya did not notice the change in Huo Yuhao's mood at all. She laughed carelessly, then ran off without looking back to patronize the other snack stalls.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao could not help marveling at how amazing girls' stomachs were. They had clearly just eaten dinner, yet she could still fit more food inside.
But he did not waste any more time. He quickly started a fire and began grilling the fish.
With his outstanding skill, it was not long before an intense aroma drifted from the grilled fish one after another.
"That grilled fish stall smells so good."
"Huh? The owner seems to be a student from Shrek Academy too. He's wearing the same uniform, and at that age, he should be a freshman, right?"
"He's pretty cute too—totally my type~ No, I have to go strike up a conversation with that little brother. Ahem. No, I mean, I have to go buy a fish to eat."
"..."
As soon as the aroma spread, Huo Yuhao's Grilled Fish stall quickly drew the attention of many people nearby.
And after noticing Huo Yuhao's looks, many female students from Shrek Academy could not help but brighten up.
After all, those still studying in Shrek Academy's Outer Court were basically young girls.
What these young girls liked most was the sweet puppy type of boy.
After undergoing the Holy Spirit Baptism, Huo Yuhao happened to fit that style perfectly.
He was simply too adorable—and good-looking, too.
Thus, many older female Seniors were left staring blankly after seeing Huo Yuhao. Using buying fish as an excuse, they tried to get close to him, and before long, Huo Yuhao's stall was lined with female Seniors from Shrek Academy.
"Little brother, how much is one Grilled Fish?"
A delicate-looking girl with a long ponytail stepped forward and struck up a conversation with Huo Yuhao with a smile on her face.
"Five Copper Coins each, Sister."
Huo Yuhao answered with a smile.
"Then give me one."
The girl spoke with a sweet smile. Watching Huo Yuhao get busy, she started chatting with him again.
"By the way, little brother, are you also a student of Shrek Academy? What year are you in? I've never seen you before."
Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded. "Yes, Sister. I'm a new student."
The girl smiled sweetly. "No wonder I've never seen you before."
"Little brother, you're so cute. Big Sister likes your type. Want to go out with Big Sister this weekend?"
Huo Yuhao said, "But I'm not familiar with you yet, Sister~ We've only just met. Isn't that a little inappropriate?"
The girl said, "If you go out and have fun with Big Sister more often, won't we become familiar?"
As soon as she finished speaking, many girls behind her began to giggle as well. They found teasing a sweet puppy like Huo Yuhao immensely amusing.
Huo Yuhao said, "No can do~ Mom said I can only go out with people I know."
The girl thought that she would definitely have to patronize Huo Yuhao's business more often in the future. Only then could she become familiar with him and win him over.
She simply ordered two more Grilled Fish.
As Huo Yuhao sold fish, he chatted casually with the female Seniors.
It had to be said that his face and figure really gave him a huge advantage.
Coupled with the fact that the Grilled Fish tasted quite good.
His business was therefore extremely brisk, and in the blink of an eye, nearly all twenty fish had been sold.
He still had to save two fish for Tang Ya. That had been agreed upon beforehand, so he had to leave some for her.
Thus, he had no intention of continuing to sell any more.
But at that moment, several female students in school uniforms walked out through Shrek Academy's gates.
The moment they stepped out, they caught a whiff of a fragrant aroma.
One of the female students asked another stunningly beautiful woman, "Nan Nan-jie, it smells so good. What is that smell?"
