"Mr. Qi, I’m going to get something to eat, are you coming?" Su Li scratched her head and asked.
Actually, Su Li didn’t really want to invite Feng Huaijin; she wasn’t familiar with him.
But she caused his car to crash and get a ticket from the traffic police, and yet he didn’t hold a grudge and bought her a hangover cure.
Although... Su Li couldn’t help but feel that something was a bit odd.
Feng Huaijin nodded, hands in his pockets, and followed Su Li.
This was the riverfront, and the river breeze came in gusts, refreshing everyone.
Su Li voluntarily introduced, "Our city is called Jiang City because it’s right by the river, which is called the Canglan River. There are lots of seafood along the river, let’s go eat some."
Indeed, there were quite a few BBQ stalls by the river.
Su Li sat down rudely and flashed a mischievous smile in her heart.
If Feng Huaijin didn’t want to sit because it was dirty, then he could leave. Anyway, she didn’t want to eat with him.
Feng Huaijin frowned slightly and pulled out a plastic stool to sit.
Su Li was a little surprised and grabbed the menu from the BBQ stall owner, "Boss, give me some grilled clams, stir-fried snails, and crab..."
The owner then asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Su Li replied, "Beer, I’ll have juice."
Su Li glared at Feng Huaijin, wondering why Tuanzi said he couldn’t drink alcohol—why couldn’t he?
The owner nodded with a smile and started to prepare.
This riverside BBQ was a place Su Li often visited with her brother.
Soon, the food was grilled and the enticing aroma wafted over, whetting everyone’s appetite.
Su Li picked up her chopsticks and immediately started eating.
Feng Huaijin frowned slightly but continued to eat elegantly.
Before long, Su Li heard Feng Huaijin coughing.
Feng Huaijin was choked by the chili, his handsome face flushed red. Su Li hurriedly put down her chopsticks and patted his back, "You can’t eat spicy food?"
The owner turned and said, "Without chili, the fishy taste can’t be subdued." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Su Li picked up the beer mug in front of Feng Huaijin and handed it to him, "Mr. Qi, have some water."
Feng Huaijin felt this woman was here to mess with him.
Feng Huaijin pushed away Su Li’s cup, unceremoniously grabbing her orange juice and drank it.
Why was he drinking hers?!
Su Li’s heart was filled with shameful anger, and her beautiful eyes fell on Feng Huaijin’s exposed hand.
The back of his hand was completely red...
Su Li was stunned and immediately grabbed Feng Huaijin’s hand, pulling up his suit sleeve.
His long, robust arm was covered in patches of redness.
"...Are you allergic?"
Feng Huaijin withdrew his hand and raised an eyebrow asking back, "Didn’t you know?"
With the way she blocked alcohol tonight, it’d be odd if she didn’t know he was allergic to alcohol. Now she’s pretending not to know.
Su Li, holding her chopsticks, was somewhat at a loss looking at Feng Huaijin, "But... but you later drank for me, didn’t you?"
Su Li looked at Feng Huaijin’s eyes, as deep as the sea, and her heart suddenly raced.
He knew he was allergic to alcohol, yet he drank to spare her?
Su Li suddenly found herself afraid to meet Feng Huaijin’s eyes, and awkwardly lowered her head.
"Well, the pharmacy isn’t far from here; I’ll go get you some allergy medicine."
Su Li dropped her chopsticks, quickly standing up and running outside.
That graceful figure was like a beam of light in the darkness, attracting his gaze, guiding him out of the shadows.
Feng Huaijin’s long fingers, now slightly reddened, tapped gently on the table, whispering softly, "Su, Li."
A peculiar glow gradually appeared in Feng Huaijin’s eyes; that woman was named Su Li.
The first name he was willingly recording in his mind.
