Lou Xining hadn’t been back in the country for long, and he was used to foreign cuisine, which wasn’t really spicy.
It was obvious that Ran Xiangsi did this on purpose to make things difficult for him.
With a slight lift of his defined fingers, Xing Chen called over the waiter, "Add a few dishes that aren’t spicy."
"Sure, sir. Please wait a moment." The waiter nodded and went to prepare.
Lou Xining was left with teary eyes, looking at Xing Chen with infinite gratitude, thinking, buddy, you really have my back...
Just as she poked the chopped chili fish head in front of her, Ran Xiangsi heard Xing Chen’s words beside her.
She furrowed her delicate brows slightly, could he really be so considerate?
It seemed like he and this Lou Xining were truly good friends.
Lou Xining might be a good friend to Xing Chen, but he certainly wasn’t to Ran Xiangsi.
Earlier, if Lou Xining hadn’t been so clueless and insisted on coming along, she would have already taken the subway home to cook for Prince!
And that haughty princess, who knows if he bullied Prince or not.
So, all of Xiangsi’s frustration at this moment was directed at Lou Xining.
Without waiting for the waiter to bring the dishes, Ran Xiangsi used the communal chopsticks to pick a piece of fish and put it on Lou Xining’s plate, then smiled and said, "Have this, it’s not spicy. Since you’re here, just take a bite?"
Ran Xiangsi kept persuading Lou Xining, she didn’t believe he wouldn’t eat even a bite.
Anyway, she was in an extremely bad mood and needed revenge!
"This..." Lou Xining looked at the bright red chili and fish on his plate, and sweat started pouring from his forehead.
Seeing him hesitate, Ran Xiangsi continued to provoke him, "Are you afraid of eating spicy food?"
"Not really." Lou Xining tried to maintain his composure...
As it turns out, even psychologists have their weaknesses.
"Then take a bite! Just one bite!" Ran Xiangsi smiled even more gleefully.
"Alright..." Having no other choice, Lou Xining, the big man, couldn’t lose face in front of Ran Xiangsi.
He took a deep breath, valiantly picked up a small piece of fish, and put it into his mouth.
The moment the tip of his tongue touched the fish, a violent burning sensation exploded in his mouth!
All his cells were screaming, Lou Xining shivered all over, feeling like his brain was completely activated!!
Oh my god, this is so spicy!!
"..." Lou Xining couldn’t say a word anymore, he quickly grabbed the teacup on the table and gulped down several cups!
He never ate spicy food...
Seeing him in such an awkward state, Ran Xiangsi finally felt satisfied.
Hmph, revenge accomplished!
Let’s see if you dare play third wheel again next time!
Ran Xiangsi was laughing triumphantly when Xing Chen suddenly scolded her.
"Xiangsi, stop fooling around." He frowned at her, knowing she did it on purpose to mess with Lou Xining.
Xing Chen’s gaze was somewhat stern, feigning mild anger. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet
The smile on Ran Xiangsi’s face vanished instantly, "Who’s fooling around..."
She muttered, then obediently lowered her head and ate her food.
Alright, she admitted, this chopped chili fish head was really spicy, even she couldn’t eat much of it.
Over there, Lou Xining felt like his soul was burned out of his body!
But he still raised his eyes to observe the two people across from him.
As soon as Xing Chen spoke, Ran Xiangsi looked like a child who had done something wrong, quietly eating her food, no longer being smug.
And on the other hand, Xing Chen’s eyes on Ran Xiangsi were full of affection.
Even his thin lips subtly curved up.
This... certainly looked like a couple.
Could they actually be husband and wife?
Sometimes, even you don’t know,
The version of you in other people’s eyes is the most real you.
