Side Story 1: Paul VS Daryl (1)

You are playing with fire, woman." Paul looked down at Daryl with a fond gaze, his long legs leaning against the wall and one hand in the trousers' pocket. The flicker of flames rendered the contour of his face more handsome, and the flirtatious note in his low voice even more palpable.

Daryl, who was squatting near the bonfire, finally burst out while stirring the fuel, "No calls to be so dramatic when I'm only barbecuing the sweet potatoes."

As the fire was flaring furiously and the fuel of resin was spluttering, the tantalizing aroma of burnt sweet potatoes wafted towards them. There would still be a while before August and Lucia arrived at this countryside villa, and Daryl just had a test with the sweet potatoes at the moment.

Paul intoned such a hilarious line because of the bad examples he had learnt from the romance fictions, which he mistakenly thought Daryl would be fond of. He even had dug into it just like doing an academic study and tried to apply it to every aspect of life, properly or improperly.

Daryl couldn't even stop him from going with such assiduity, and stupidity actually.

"Come over here, or you'll miss out your sweet potato." she only gave him a reproachful look.

Okay." The significance of a man in deep thought immediately gave way to obedience, as Paul squatted beside Daryl just like a golden retriever, meekly watching her using a branch to get the sweet potatoes out of the fire.

Ignorant of how piping-hot the food would be, Paul just stretched out his hand for the sweet potatoes eagerly before Daryl could stop him.

Sure enough, he swiftly took his hand back after a slight pause.

"...Got burnt, huh?" teased Daryl.

Paul said after a second, "I'll have another go now!"

What a glutton that he would pay any price just for the food!
