NovelAppHolding the coke in hand, Luis glanced up at Alison. Then his eyes fell on her red earlobes, and his heart was beating a little hard.
His hand, which was holding her hand, tightened a little consciously.
Blaze had just cback from the elders. Seeing this, he asked, "What's the matter? Are you burned?" Alison felt a little embarrassed. She instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but Luis held it tighter.
As if unaware of Alison's movement, Luis looked up at Blaze and made a joke," Exactly, the mushrooms that Blaze barbecued smell good." Alison was already a little embarrassed, and what Luis had said made her more embarrassed.
Blaze took a look at Alison and asked, "Is it serious? I'll go and get the medicine for scald." Alison quickly stopped him, "I just burnt my hand a little. It's not serious, Blaze." At this moment, Luis loosened his grip to reveal the burn on Alison's index finger, which was red but luckily not blistered.

It wasn't really painful, but her skin was thin and fair, so every tshe got minor injuries, it always looked a little serious.
"It isn't very painful." Blaze rubbed her head and said, "Take your time. What do you want to eat? I'll barbecue them for you." Unscrewing the coke which was used to make Alison's hand cold just then, and looking at her, Luis raised his head and took a long gulp of it.
The boys of this age had just grown up, so the contours on their faces were not sharp. Only when Luis looked up, his Adam's apple was distinct.
Alison's face burned as Luis looked at her.
She couldn't feel anything about the burn on her index finger, but the back of her hand that Luis had held still seemed to have the warmth of his palm.
Curling up her fingers subconsciously and lowering her head to curve her lips, she saw a bottle of lemonade in her sight. Luis said, "Drink this." It was handed to her by Luis.
Alison reached out her hand to take it," Thank you, Luis." Luis took a look at her and asked," Do you want to drink it now?" Alison didn't react and froze, "Ah?" As soon as she said this, Luis had already unscrewed the cap of the bottle and reached for a straw to insert into the bottle.
"Thank you, Luis." Hearing she say "thank you" for the second time, Luis raised his eyebrows and asked," Why do you like saying 'thank you' so much?" Alison sucked the lemonade through the straw. Not knowing how to answer Luis's question, she had to lower her head, watching Blaze barbecue the mushrooms beside her.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Luis snorted and handed her a fork from the side, "Have it." Taking the fork, Alison wanted to say" thank you" again, but when she looked up at Luis’s eyes, she felt a little embarrassed but just said, "Okay." The mushrooms had been barbecued for a while, and they were not that hot anymore.
The mushrooms, which Blaze barbecued, smelt very good. They were comparable to which were made in outside barbecue booths.
Alison liked eating the barbecued mushrooms. On one of her birthdays, her grandmother took her to a barbecue booth and ordered her one portion of barbecued mushrooms, which were the best barbecued mushrooms she could remember.

Later, Alison went to that barbecue booth again and ordered herself one portion of barbecued mushrooms, but she didn't think they tasted like before at all.
It had been four or five years since that happened, but Alison's eyes turned a little red as she remembered this.
She had not thought of her grandmother for a long time. Now that she thought of her grandmother, her mood changed from happy to upset.
Luis leaned back in the recliner for a while.
Next to Luis, Blaze barbecued chicken wings and mushrooms, and Alison lowered her head and ate the mushrooms.
Alison was used to eating slowly in a leisurely way.
