Tong Mo, unable to resist the temptation, sucked in a breath and, without regard for anyone else present, picked up the bowl and started eating in a completely unladylike fashion.
"This is so delicious!!"
As she ate, she kept smacking her lips and exclaiming in appreciation.
Li Zijue had a glass of water in his hand, watching the girl with food all over her mouth. Although he had lost his appetite after finishing his meal, seeing her made him feel hungry again.
So, he picked up the chopsticks in front of him and went to grab a piece of the spicy fish on his plate.
The moment he put it in his mouth, his face turned fiery red from the spiciness.
!! What the hell is this, it’s so spicy!
"Hey, what’s wrong with you?" Tong Mo noticed something was off and quickly put down her cutlery, staring at him.
On the other side, Li Zijue struggled to swallow the spicy fish, "No, it’s nothing."
He wouldn’t tell her the embarrassing fact that he couldn’t eat spicy food.
After saying this, he quickly picked up the glass of water beside him and drank several large gulps.
Seeing that he was truly alright, Tong Mo immediately felt relieved, "Then I’ll continue eating."
When she was almost done, Tong Mo noticed the man sitting opposite her had barely touched his food. She couldn’t help but call out to him, "Hey, why aren’t you eating?"
"I’m not hungry..." Li Zijue said indifferently.
But in reality, all the dishes she had ordered were spicy, none of which he could eat.
Noticing that he was swallowing, Tong Mo couldn’t help teasing him, "Viscount, you wouldn’t happen to be someone who can’t eat spicy, would you?"
"Who can’t?" Feeling belittled by his woman, Li Zijue’s face instantly darkened.
"Then try a bite!" Tong Mo mischievously held a piece of meat laden with chili to his mouth.
"I’ll eat it! You think I dare not?" Li Zijue, like a stubborn child showing off, opened his mouth and bit into the meat.
Once it entered his mouth, he almost regretted it to death.
It must have been many times spicier than the spicy fish.
Li Zijue’s face instantly reddened, and he kept coughing, as if the chili had choked his organs.
"Viscount!?" Tong Mo had only meant to tease him and hadn’t expected him to actually take the dare. Seeing him in such a state, guilt washed over her face, and she quickly stood up to pat his back.
"Viscount, spit out the meat!"
"You’ll be fine if you spit it out!"
Tong Mo patted and spoke anxiously.
Li Zijue wanted to spit it out, but his body was not under his control due to the discomfort, so he couldn’t even if he wanted to.
Seeing this, Tong Mo simply held his face and kissed him, using her tongue to pry the piece of meat from his mouth.
Then, she spat it into the trash can.
It wasn’t until after this action that Tong Mo belatedly realized what she had just done.
Her cheeks immediately flushed red.
Oh my God! She had actually done something as disgusting as stealing food from someone else’s mouth!
But strangely, although she thought the action was disgusting, she didn’t feel disgusted or nauseous at all.
Because his taste was very clean... not at all like a man who had been a gigolo for years.
After figuring this out, Tong Mo felt even more embarrassed, yet she spoke earnestly to him, "Viscount, you should try to show off less in the future."
What’s the use of pride if you don’t have your life?
