Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Bananas and Sausages
He Jingyao slowly lifted the corners of his lips, his gaze circling the table before he suggested, “Then, how about eating a sausage?”
Su Zixi was startled and followed his gaze to the plump sausages on the plate, suddenly had an epiphany, and understood…
Then, her cheeks reddened bit by bit until they were almost as pink as cooked shrimp…
“He Jingyao!” Su Zixi stood up abruptly, both embarrassed and angry, glaring at him furiously, “You’ve gone too far!”
It was one thing for him to be a rogue with her usually, but now, to fantasize about her … How could she ever eat bananas again!
He Jingyao raised an eyebrow, the picture of innocence, “What’s wrong?”
“If you don’t want to eat it, I won’t force you,” he said earnestly, gazing at her, “Why are you suddenly angry, huh?”
When he reached the last word, his voice lowered, and his tone rose slightly, laden with deep confusion.
Her hands braced against the table, she couldn’t help but tremble a little. She was purely furious!
Her cheeks went from red to white…
How could she have forgotten just how shameless this man was!
In such situations, how could he possibly admit it! He was certain she would never be able to say it out loud!
Moreover, Su Zixi strongly suspected that if she did say it, he would probably just continue to flirt with her and might even try to turn the contents of his fantasy into reality…
Su Zixi felt aggrieved!
“Not feeling well?” The man continued to express his concern, his tone and expression perfectly on point.
If she were to ignore the wicked gleam in his eyes, Su Zixi might actually believe she was overthinking it…
She sat down sullenly, on the verge of tears, and said, “It’s nothing…”
It wasn’t for lack of trying, the enemy was just too cunning!
Watching her dejected appearance, He Jingyao chuckled softly, picked up a slice of toast, spread her favorite blueberry jam on it, and then extended it towards her, “Since you don’t like bananas and you don’t like sausages, why don’t you have some toast instead?”
Su Zixi looked up, eyeing the slice of toast warily, then him.
It seemed there was no scheme, but remembering this man’s history, Su Zixi felt she couldn’t let her guard down.
So, with a cunning glint in her eyes, she also grabbed a slice of toast, smeared jam on it, and offered it to him, “You eat too!”
He Jingyao bit into it, smiling as he followed her hand.
Su Zixi let out a sigh of relief and took a bite of the toast he held in front of her as well.
It took her a moment to realize that their actions resembled the rhythm of feeding each other… which was a bit too flirtatious.
Caught up in her thoughts, Su Zixi even stole a glance at him, but the man looked completely at ease… So, in the end, they finished their toast in this manner.
After eating the last bite, He Jingyao suddenly smiled and even licked the crumbs off her fingertip… A tingling sensation shot through her from her fingertips to her limbs… Su Zixi quickly withdrew her hand, glaring at him fiercely.
He Jingyao laughed again and pushed the dessert forward to her, “Finish it, and we’ll set off.”
Su Zixi latched onto the keyword, her eyes lighting up, and she nodded obediently.
Half an hour later, they finally resumed their journey, thankfully, he seemed to have had his fill of teasing her for the time being and held her in his embrace without making any more moves.
Perhaps it was because the car performed so well, or maybe his embrace was too warm, but Su Zixi finally managed to sleep peacefully for three hours.
