"No way! All this meat looks normal!" Ning Yanlan exclaimed in surprise, then grabbed another bottle of red wine that had already been opened. "Quick, quick, just rinse your mouth!"

Jiang Yuan didn't suspect anything, took the bottle and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls. The moment the 'red wine' entered his mouth, he realized something was wrong, but he thought it was just a hallucination caused by his taste buds exploding.

"Coo coo coo!"

After three bites, Jiang Yuan's lips twitched, and he was instantly filled with jealousy.

Yes, I was genuinely jealous.

"Waaah!"

Jiang Yuan vomited. Damn it, this bottle didn't contain red wine, but a whole bottle of red vinegar.

Ning Yanlan couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter, disregarding her image.

If Jiang Yuan didn't know what had happened, he'd be a pig.

"You're ruthless!" Jiang Yuan felt completely awful. Ning Yanlan really came up with this wasabi and red vinegar combination.

"Haha, serves you right for ignoring me and leaving me to grill meat all by myself!" Ning Yanlan giggled.

Jiang Yuansheng sat there listlessly, not even daring to eat meat. Who could stand this?

"Okay, okay, I was just teasing you!" Ning Yanlan stopped laughing and handed over her plate of grilled meat. "Eat this, there's none in here!"

She used her psionic energy to stuff the wasabi into the grilled meat, and there was a large amount, enough to choke Jiang Yuan and render him speechless.

"I just want to eat some meat, I don't want to be like Wu Dalang!" Jiang Yuan said with a bitter face, the taste of mustard and vinegar still lingering in his mouth.

"I was just kidding, don't be angry!" Ning Yanlan said coquettishly.

"Oh well, never mind!" Jiang Yuan waved his hand, it was just a joke, he didn't intend to take Ning Yanlan seriously.

"Thank you, Brother Jiang Yuan!" Ning Yanlan blinked, revealing an adorable expression she had never shown before.

"Look at you, people think I'm bullying you!" Jiang Yuan said helplessly. He picked up the fork on the plate, forked a piece of meat, and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Uh..."

And it was this action that allowed Jiang Yuan to relive his previous experience, except this time it wasn't wasabi, but super spicy chili oil.

With one bite, the fiery red oil splattered out, and in an instant, the spiciness overwhelmed all his senses.

“You…” Jiang Yuan’s face turned red.

"Brother Jiang Yuan, this is the last time!" Ning Yanlan said playfully, clasping her hands together.

"I..." Jiang Yuan was depressed. He even felt that he had developed anorexia, especially roasted meat, which had left him with a phobia.

"Would you like more wine?" Ning Yanlan handed over another unopened bottle of red wine.

Jiang Yuan turned his head away in anger. It wasn't entirely from anger, but the heat was so intense that he couldn't control his facial expression, so he didn't want Ning Yanlan to see his lips twitching.

Jiang Yuan's action led Ning Yanlan to misunderstand. She thought Jiang Yuan was really angry because she knew that her joke had gone too far. She should have stopped after the first two jokes, but she was too playful to waste the last one.

After all, she had carefully selected the chili oil and compressed it with her spiritual energy for a long time before stuffing it into the beast meat; she didn't want to miss out.

"Are you really angry?" Ning Yanlan's voice was much softer.

Jiang Yuan, however, kept his back to her when he heard this.

"Jiang Yuan?"

Ning Yanlan called out again, but Jiang Yuan still ignored her.

The atmosphere between the two was a little tense, but Ning Yanlan still tiptoed to the front of Jiang Yuan and asked, "Jiang Yuan, are you angry with me?"

Jiang Yuan looked up and saw Ning Yanlan. Ning Yanlan's eyes darted away, and she seemed embarrassed. "Do you think I'm angry?"

"Jiang Yuan!"

Ning Yanlan called out, and the two stared at each other for a while. Suddenly, she leaned closer and said, "A verbal apology isn't sincere, but I really want to apologize. I'll apologize verbally!"

Jiang Yuan was about to ask if there was any difference between verbal apologies, but Ning Yanlan showed him what a real verbal apology was through her actions.

Cool lips covered his face. Jiang Yuan knew it was Ning Yanlan's scent. Her normal body temperature after awakening part of her bloodline was this temperature, and it was also his favorite touch.

Ning Yanlan opened her eyes after kissing her, and the two couldn't help but embrace.

At this moment, even Ning Yanlan herself didn't understand why things had developed to this point. She had made a joke that had cost her dearly, and the cost of that joke was far too high.

As for why she chose to kiss him, her first thought was that Jiang Yuan was angry because he tasted something strange, and now that she had tasted it back, they were even, so she really didn't think of anything else.

But Jiang Yuan had an idea, and shamelessly stuck out his tongue.

"puff!"

Then Ning Yanlan sprayed it back at him in one breath, "Your smell is too strong!"

"You have to take the hit! Who just said you'd apologize verbally!" Jiang Yuan held Ning Yanlan tightly and wouldn't let go.

Mustard, vinegar, and chili oil—it would be abnormal if the flavor wasn't pungent.
