778 Demons Are Afraid of Spicy Food
Not long after, the kitchen was filled with fragrance. A pungent spicy smell enveloped the entire kitchen, making the originally dark and oppressive environment immediately smell like home.
Jiang Yi tried his best to recall the past.
Apart from that old man who used the kitchen, it seemed that she was the only one who used it. Qin Xi was probably the only person in the world who took the initiative to cook and was still very optimistic about it even though she knew that she would die!
Soon, the steaming rice and spicy stir-fried rabbit meat were done. After Qin Xi served it, she sat opposite Jiang Yi, as if he was not a man-eating demon but her family.
She picked up her chopsticks and picked a piece of rabbit meat for him. Then, she picked a piece for herself and stuffed it into her mouth.
It was a little hot and spicy. When she ate it, she was afraid that it would burn her lips. She pouted slightly and bit the meat with her teeth carefully, hissing from time to time as she fanned herself with her small hands.
“It’s so spicy!”
Seeing that her face was red and her eyes were narrowed with excitement, Jiang Yi frowned and stiffly picked up the fragrant rabbit meat Qin Xi had just picked for him.
As soon as the rabbit meat entered his mouth, he was taken aback by how spicy it was. The spiciness spread throughout his body, and his throat felt like it was on fire. He couldn’t help but cough, immediately attracting Qin Xi’s attention.
“Are you afraid of spicy food?”
There was a hint of disdain in Qin Xi’s eyes. Although it only lasted for a moment, Jiang Yi caught it.
Jiang Yi’s face darkened, and the surrounding temperature seemed to have plummeted by more than ten degrees. Qin Xi was now an ordinary person and was pregnant. How could she withstand this harsh environment? Her face turned pale, but she shivered uncontrollably.
“Hey, take care of the pregnant woman. If you do this a few more times, I’ll die. Seriously, you’re so petty as to hold a grudge just because I asked a harmless question!” Qin Xi knocked his bowl with her chopsticks and glared at him.
Qin Xi had a baby face to begin with. Coupled with the fact that she was usually smiling, she looked especially cute even with a straight face and a fierce look.
Of course, if Jiang Yi knew that Qin Xi was pretending and even wanted to take the opportunity to kill him, he probably wouldn’t think that she was cute.
Jiang Yi probably realized that he had overreacted. He retracted his aura and ignored her. He lowered his head and focused on eating the dishes on the plate. The more he ate, the more he felt a burning pain in his stomach. The spiciness kept attacking his nerves, and even his throat became dry and painful.
Seeing this, Qin Xi smiled evilly.
She knew that Jiang Yi was afraid of spicy food. Although giving him spicy food wouldn’t kill him, at least she would feel better after making him suffer a little.
This meal was the most delicious Qin Xi had ever eaten here. After eating, she patted her bulging stomach in satisfaction and sighed. “Ah ~ I’m finally alive. Sigh… next time you go out, remember to bring some back. You should be able to catch other wild animals, right?”
Qin Xi pretended not to see Jiang Yi’s livid expression and picked up the dirty bowl and chopsticks to go to the kitchen.
After Qin Xi left, Jiang Yi quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks and circulated his internal force to suppress the spiciness in his mouth and stomach. Although it was effective, the numbing feeling was still there.
He wanted to go and drink some water to alleviate the numbness, but Qin Xi was in the kitchen. If he went to drink water, he would definitely be laughed at by her. At the thought of this possibility, Jiang Yi’s face darkened.
