Chapter 378: Shining and Providing Heat

Under the golden sunlight, Wu Yue'er wore a black, off-the-shoulder, halter-neck long-sleeved T-shirt, paired with denim shorts that reached only one-third of the way down her thighs; her long, jade-like legs were exposed to the air, appearing as the most beautiful scenery on the lawn.

Hearing the excitement in her words, Shen Yan lowered his head to suckle on her fragrant shoulder and chuckled, saying, "Why run so fast? Shanni isn't skilled at horseback riding yet; it's no joke if she really falls off the horse."

Mentioning this, Wu Yue'er couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.

"Hubby, you and Shanni seem to have many little secrets. When did you two go horseback riding?"

Beside them, Chen Shanni's lips curled slightly, outlining a curve of happiness; the trip to Yunnan was the happiest time of her life, and she would never forget it.

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow, his voice low and magnetic, carrying a heavy, flirtatious tone: "Don't we also have many little secrets that no one else knows about?"

Hearing this made Wu Yue'er feel a tingle of numbness deep in her heart.

That's right! In terms of their relationship, she and Shen Yan had been together for so long and had been through so much; how could Chen Shanni's secrets compare to theirs?

Thinking of this, Wu Yue'er's pretty face once again bloomed with a smile as bright as the spring sunshine.

Afterward, the three of them galloped back and forth on the vast, boundless lawn, and gradually, many familiar faces appeared on the grass.

They were all classmates from the class.

They were fascinated by the sport of horseback riding and couldn't help but want to come over and take a look.

Seeing the dashing and heroic posture of the three while riding—especially Shen Yan, who was tall and handsome by nature, topped with a pair of black-framed sunglasses on his nose—he looked just like the male lead in a movie, bursting with charm from afar.

The students couldn't help but feel envious.

Not only was he wealthy, but he was also outstanding in every aspect to a height that ordinary people could hardly reach.

After playing on horseback for over an hour, the three returned to the campsite.

By this time, all the students had arrived and were gathered under the large canopy tent in the center of the grounds, some huddled together playing cards, filled with laughter.

Others were tinkering with connecting the speakers, unable to wait to sing their hearts out.

Several class committee members were there using iron skewers to thread various ingredients, preparing for the noon barbecue.

Shen Yan picked up an unopened bottle of mineral water from the ground and took two big gulps.

Then he pulled out the chair next to Tang Song and sat down.

Using a toothpick, he picked up a small piece of Apple from the fruit platter on the table and began to eat it contentedly.

He even browsed his phone while eating.

This posture left Luo Qiqi speechless, while Pang Weijie spoke bluntly: "Old Shen, if you have nothing to do, help us thread the skewers; we're so busy we can barely keep up."

Shen Yan smiled faintly: "Aren't class committee members meant to serve the students? Old Pang, put more heart into it; if you shine and provide heat for the students, everyone will naturally remember you for it later."

Ugh~~

Pang Weijie and the others couldn't help but roll their eyes; clearly, they were contributing to the class, so why did it sound so wrong coming from Shen Yan?

Comparing this to the relaxed posture of the other students, the group suddenly felt that being a class committee member wasn't so great after all.

Why should they be there laughing and chatting while they had to suffer here threading skewers?

If they weren't careful, they would get poked by the iron skewers.

Fortunately, it was only for these two days; they would get through it if they just held on.

With nothing to do, Wu Yue'er took a small box out of her shoulder bag.

It was, surprisingly, a Flying Chess set.

"Mingqing, come over and play Flying Chess with us." Wu Yue'er waved at Yuan Mingqing.

"Okay, okay!" Yuan Mingqing agreed happily.

With Shen Yan and Chen Shanni added, the four of them began to play happily.

This scene once again irritated the group of class committee members.

Killing time until noon, five grills rented from the campsite were set up around the tent, with 8 people per group; Shen Yan's group was full of old acquaintances, but he was the only one who actually knew how to barbecue.

He wasn't going to be a fool and act as manual labor, so he pulled the boys over and gave them a concise and comprehensive lesson.

Chen Shanni was very interested in this and followed along to listen.

"For these skewers, meat and vegetables must be grilled separately; for instance, lamb skewers have their own fat, so there's no need to brush them with oil right away, just sprinkle some salt first..."

To start, Shen Yan demonstrated it himself once, and after everyone tasted it, they all gave him a thumbs up.

Tang Song: "Old Shen is just awesome, you have to admit it."

Zhu Baoping: "This is too delicious, it's no worse than those barbecue stalls outside."

Luo Qiqi's eyes sparkled, and she exclaimed: "Shen Yan, you're truly amazing; you're good at everything you do."

Shen Yan smiled in response, then let others take over, while he stood by to guide the enthusiastic Chen Shanni; the good girl seemed very keen on cooking.

Or rather, she held twelve times the passion for all new things.

Aside from the 36 students of Law Class One, the counselor Huang Shuren and his girlfriend Wen Yali also accompanied them on this team-building trip.

Huang Shuren was also not very familiar with barbecuing, so he took the initiative to run over to Shen Yan to ask for advice.

"Shen Yan, this isn't right of you; how can you let the girls do the work?"

Watching Shen Yan earnestly teaching Chen Shanni, Huang Shuren couldn't help but tease.

Shen Yan laughed: "Teacher Huang, I am cultivating the hands-on ability of the motherland's flowers; as the saying goes, women hold up half the sky, you can't discriminate against female comrades."

Hearing this, Wen Yali chimed in with a nod: "Exactly, why can't girls barbecue? Whatever men can do, women can do just as well."

Huang Shuren gave Shen Yan a resentful look—this kid, when did he ever discriminate against female comrades? Shen Yan grinned, his opinion of Wen Yali changing in his heart.

He had originally thought this woman was the quiet, elegant, and introverted type.

Looking at it now, there was a streak of toughness in her bones; with Huang Shuren's personality, he probably couldn't handle her.

It might just turn out to be another case of being henpecked.

Sigh! Poor guy!

However, after this incident, the few girls didn't want to just wait around to eat, and one after another, they joined the barbecue team.

Do it yourself, and you shall have plenty of food and clothing.

With things this way, Shen Yan was quite comfortable, leaning back in his chair in a leisurely and carefree manner, playing on his phone while enjoying being fed by Wu Yue'er and Chen Shanni in turns.

"Shen Yan, try the squid I grilled; the taste is not bad."

"Shen Yan, the chicken wings are ready to eat."

"Shen Yan, see if the grilled corn is cooked yet."

The classmates were dumbfounded; there was truly no one else who could reach this level as a man.

Zhu Baoping couldn't help but mutter, "So goddesses can also fawn over men like this."

This sentence undoubtedly dealt another heavy blow to the wound in Lin Yang's heart; the goddess he could not attain was lowering herself to fawn over another man.

Who could stand this!

Halfway through the barbecue, Chen Shanni handed the car keys to Tang Song, asking him to help fetch the cake.

Tang Song gladly agreed.

Five minutes later, a 22-inch cream cake was placed on the dining table; Shen Yan cast his gaze toward Chen Shanni, and Chen Shanni returned it with a sweet smile.

The classmates gathered around with faces full of curiosity, asking Chen Shanni and Wu Yue'er, who were inserting candles.

"Whose birthday is it today?"
