Helian Xi stopped in her tracks and glanced back at him, "Where’s your face?"
However, her mood had improved quite a bit, though she hadn’t noticed it herself. Her lively eyes already carried a hint of a smile.
"Don’t want it." Gu Jin Yan walked towards her, "Was the food good today?"
"Hmph! It’s all your fault. You ruined my mood, so I had no appetite. What eating?" Helian Xi thought about it and felt angry. She had finally gone to have a meal with Cheng Zhiyan, only to be too upset by Gu Jin Yan to eat.
Gu Jin Yan stopped mentioning their earlier unpleasantness and said, "I know a new charcoal BBQ place that’s quite good. How about having a bit more? The BBQ itself isn’t particularly special, but their dipping sauce is a secret recipe. You’ll definitely like it; it’s spicy and flavorful."
"Who said I’d definitely like it? Besides, it’s so late already, I don’t want to eat anything. I’m trying to lose weight." Helian Xi was very tempted, but she couldn’t be so spineless.
She had to be firm and not abandon her principles for a meal.
"That’s really a pity. Their stuffed tofu is even tastier than the meat. It’s grilled until both sides are puffed up, and then you dip it in their fermented bean curd sauce. The taste is absolutely amazing. Plus, they have several kinds of dipping sauces: dry ones and sauced ones. If you grill some pork belly..."
Before Gu Jin Yan could finish, Helian Xi huffed and interrupted him, "You’re so annoying! I’m still mad at you, and you’re trying to tempt me with food."
She glared at him before pretending to be impatient, "Where’s your car?"
Gu Jin Yan curved his lips into a smile. Finally, it had passed.
He was so afraid Helian Xi would really ignore him.
He hooked his large hand around Helian Xi’s neck, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat something delicious."
"Hmph! Eating is one thing, but stop with the hands!" Helian Xi shook off Gu Jin Yan’s hand. I’m already not that tall, don’t press me down even more.
"Hmm, indeed not that tall." Gu Jin Yan placed his hand on her shoulder again, but he liked it very much.
"Gu Jin Yan, will you die if you don’t speak the truth?" Helian Xi pinched his waist hard, listening to his scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered. Her heart instantly felt at ease.
"Helian Xiaoxi, can’t you be gentler? My flesh was about to be pinched off by you." Gu Jin Yan rubbed his waist. This little witch of a girl was truly ruthless.
"Who told you to say things that upset me?"
"So can our beautiful, lively, lovely, understanding Xiao Xi get in the car?" Gu Jin Yan asked as he opened the passenger door.
"Okay." Even if it’s fake and insincere, these words are still more pleasant to hear than complaints.
Neither of them mentioned the previous issue again and returned to their usual way of interacting.
They ate BBQ and bought four bottles of beer.
Because of the heat, Gu Jin Yan’s neckline was undone by two buttons as he held a glass and took a big sip, some beer spilling out from the corners of his mouth.
Helian Xi’s face was a bit hot. She had actually known long ago that Gu Jin Yan was very good-looking, even more so than Cheng Zhiyan.
It’s just that because they had known each other since childhood, they always bickered and quarreled, which made them overlook these things.
Now, she hadn’t expected that this big guy could actually be so sexy.
No wonder he had so many fangirls at school.
Honestly, it’s just too much.
