Seeing Dugu Yan's eyes as if he wanted to snatch the barbecue from his hands, Xia Long said helplessly, "It's almost ready. Wait a moment. If it's not baked at the right time, the flavor of the barbecue will be different."

Dugu Yan puffed up his mouth and said, "Humph! For the sake of barbecue, I will have to endure it a little longer."

In this way, Dugu Yan continued to endure the torture of the aroma, staring at the barbecue turned over on the grill with glowing eyes.

"Okay, here it is."

Seeing that it was almost done, Xia Long handed one of the skewers to Dugu Yan. When Dugu Yan saw the barbecue that Xia Long handed over, she had been enduring it for a long time. She didn't care about her image as a girl, so she just grabbed it and took a big bite. .

"Wow...it's so delicious!!"

Dugu Yan looked at the barbecue in his hand in surprise. He didn't expect that this thing tasted so good, and the texture of the meat was also just right.

Dugu Yan savored the piece of meat in his mouth carefully. The more he tasted, the more the taste of barbecue spread in his mouth. The firm texture, crispy skin, and alluring aroma all made the first Dugu Yan, who had eaten this kind of food for the first time, couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing Dugu Yan's appearance, Xia Long smiled. While eating the barbecue in his hand, he picked up two skewers of barbecue on the side and put them on the rack to continue roasting.

"Dugu Yan, why did you come out alone? Don't you have any friends to accompany you?" Xia Long looked at Dugu Yan while eating barbecue.

After hearing Xia Long's words, Dugu Yan paused for a moment, then put down the barbecue in his hand and lowered his head without speaking.

After seeing Dugu Yan's reaction, Xia Long thought that his words had made her unhappy, so he quickly waved his hand and said.

"It's okay if you don't want to say it, let's just eat."

"It's ok."

Xia Long put down his hands and looked at Dugu Yan. He felt that Dugu Yan looked a little different to him at this time, and felt a little more... lonely.

"Xia Long, are we friends?" Dugu Yan asked nervously, staring into Xia Long's eyes.

"Alas!" Xia Long didn't react when he heard Dugu Yan's question, and was stunned.

"I asked if we are friends?" Dugu Yan continued to ask without caring about Xia Long's reaction.

Xia Long saw Dugu Yan's nervous expression and guessed something in his mind.

Xia Long smiled and said to Dugu Yan, "Of course we are friends."

Dugu Yan was very happy after hearing Xia Long's words. At this moment, Xia Long continued.

"Although you are usually as troublesome as a eldest lady, you can't do some simple things well, and..."

When Dugu Yan heard Xia Long's words, she felt so worthless for the first time.

"but!!"

Xia Long's voice pulled Dugu Yan to attention. Dugu Yan looked at Xia Long in a daze and said nothing.

"We're just friends, aren't we?"

After Dugu Yan heard Xia Long's words, he felt like there was something left on his face and wiped it with his hand.

"It's tears..."

"I don't know who you are or what your past is, but I just need to know that we are friends, that's enough."

Dugu Yan looked at Xia Long and thought to herself, "Really? Is this a friend? It feels so good."

Dugu Yan wiped the tears on her face, looked at Xia Long and said, "I haven't had any friends since I was a child. Those who play with me only come to me because they have a purpose. No one really wants to make friends with me." .”

Xia Long looked at Dugu Yan and said nothing. He knew that there was no need to speak at this time. He only needed to listen to his friend's troubles and voice.

"My grandfather is a titled Douluo. I don't know who my grandmother is. My parents also passed away when I was very young, so I was brought up by my grandfather. My grandfather loved me very much. The elders of my classmates knew that my grandfather doted on me, so they let them get close to me so that they could have a relationship with my grandfather."

"I see. Is this why she has no friends? Purposeful friends are too false. For her, what she wants is the kind of true friend who can confide in her heart without any purpose."

How powerful a Titled Douluo is, Xia Long, who has been following Yu Xiaogang, certainly knows that the master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Yu Xiaogang's father, is a Titled Douluo, one of the top seven sects. The sect masters of the three sects and the pope and elders of Wuhun Palace are all people in the realm of Titled Douluo.

Although Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, is not a Titled Douluo, even so, there are still two titled Douluo in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Moreover, in a country, people in the realm of Titled Douluo are expected to be polite guests even if they are kings. As a Titled Douluo, Duguyan's grandfather's status in the Tiandou Empire can be said to be very high.

Therefore, Dugu Yan, who is shrouded in this halo, becomes a hot potato in the eyes of those business families or families that do not have a titled Douluo. As long as they have a good relationship with her, it is equivalent to having a titled Douluo. Luo makes good connections.

Xia Long knew at this moment that Dugu Yan's usually proud behavior was just her disguise. In fact, her heart was very fragile and lonely. She longed to have friends with whom she could play and practice together.

"Xia Long, are you really willing to be friends with me? Aren't you sincerely friends with me because I have a grandfather with a title of Douluo?"

Dugu Yan looked at Xia Long nervously. She didn't know if Xia Long would be like those people before, approaching her with purpose because of her grandfather. She didn't want such false friends. She longed to practice with her friends. , chatting with each other, she wants this kind of sincere friend.

Xia Long said nothing. After seeing Xia Long's reaction, Dugu Yan thought that he would be like those people and couldn't help but lowered his head in frustration.

At this time, she felt a hand slap on her head. She looked up and found that Xia Long was looking at her with a smile. The smile reflected by the burning flames looked so bright in Dugu Yan's eyes. brilliant.

"Didn't I say that we are friends? I don't care if your grandfather is a Titled Douluo or not. I won't be friends with you because of your grandfather. My friend is you, not your grandfather."

Dugu Yan looked at Xia Long and said nothing, but there were still tears on her face, tears of joy.

Xia Long stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Dugu Yan's face, stretched out his hand and said to her, "I will not approach you with any purpose. So what if you have a grandfather with a titled Douluo? I will definitely become a titled Douluo in the future. You No exception, if you ask why, it’s because you are my friend.”

Dugu Yan stared blankly at the hand in front of her. After a while, she reached out and held it, smiling happily.

Xia Long saw Dugu Yan's happy smile and decided in his heart that he must protect this smile and not let it be destroyed.

"Before I met Xiao San and Xiao Wu, I only had my uncle to rely on. At that time, I had no friends, only my uncle as an elder. It wasn't until I met Xiao San and Xiao Wu that I knew the value of friendship. I won't let you experience it again. That feeling of loneliness without friends, I must protect this innocent smile and never let it dissipate, this is my promise!"
