Qin Xin’s smile grew wider, his eyes squinting, "From 10 a.m. to noon, and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Now is the perfect time for coffee. Let me brew you a cup!"
The round-faced girl stared blankly as he took the instant coffee sachet from her hand, or rather, the "cockroach sachet"!
The round-faced girl’s voice trembled, "What... are you doing?"
Qin Xin, still smiling, said, "Making you some coffee."
When did I ever say I wanted coffee? The round-faced girl found herself perplexed, her hand feeling heavy as she received a steaming cup of instant coffee.
Looking at the deep brown coffee, double images appeared before her eyes, coffee and cockroaches overlapping, the same color...
Qin Xin’s playful smile froze, his entire facial expression gradually splitting apart.
Cheng Guodong kept a distance from them, covering his nose.
The round-faced girl nervously gripped her warm coffee mug, as if seeking a bit of warmth, because the "green-faced fanged devil" now looked... much fiercer! More terrifying!
"Sorry, sorry... I’m sorry," she stammered before taking small steps backward.
Qin Xin stiffly lowered his head to look at the filth on his chest, the shirt was thin, and he already felt the soaked sensation, he was not feeling well!
He glared furiously at the round-faced girl, having lost the mask of his usual smiling tiger.
The round-faced girl screamed and ran off, not forgetting to take the coffee cup with her.
Cheng Guodong, staying far away, teased, "I told you this is what you get, right?"
Messing with a foodie is simply asking for trouble, because foodies generally don’t play by the rules!
Qin Xin stripped off his shirt on the spot, his gaze sweeping over the Special Department employees around him who were whispering and chuckling, Qin Xin angrily demanded, "Where is the bathroom?!"
The Seventh Team Captain touched his nose; the round-faced girl was under his command and since she had run away, as the captain, he had to clean up the aftermath.
The Seventh Team Captain gave an awkward smile, "I’ll take you there, if you don’t mind, you can wear my clothes, they’re all clean."
"Hmm," Qin Xin responded dully.
The round-faced girl peeked from behind the wall, waiting for the captain to lead him away, then quietly emerged with the coffee in hand.
The employees of the Special Department all gave her a thumbs-up.
Most here were cunning folks, aware that the smiling guy was teasing the round-faced girl, and were quite excited to see how this foodie from the Seventh Team would strike back, and boy, they did not see that coming!
This strike was a critical hit!
"Sister, you’re awesome!" Xiangxiang approached, trying to take the coffee from her hand.
But the round-faced girl held tightly onto it, not letting go.
Xiangxiang was surprised, "You can still drink it?"
Everyone knows that instant coffee contains 10% of various insects, who could still drink it?
But the round-faced girl could! And she showed with her actions that she could!
Slowly, the round-faced girl lifted the cup, took a small sip, and then comfortably squinted her eyes, whispering softly, "Cockroaches... pretty tasty!"
Xiangxiang: "..." I heard that, but maybe I’m just hearing things?
They looked at each other, in disbelief.
The round-faced girl took another big gulp, smacking her lips, "Back when I was trapped under the rubble, starving, I wished a cockroach would come crawling by, and later, one actually did."
Xiangxiang asked, "Did you eat it?"
The round-faced girl’s face twisted a bit, shaking her head, "It was too disgusting, I didn’t dare eat it. But, if I’m trapped under the rubble again, I’d dare to eat it."
The round-faced girl finished off the last sip of coffee, "It’s really tasty indeed!"
