Xia Xi went to tell Aunt Zhang to make a lighter dinner. After having a banquet at noon, she didn't feel like eating greasy food.

Aunt Zhang agreed.

Xia Xi went back to her room to put her things away. When she took out her cell phone from her bag, she heard a rustling sound.

She lowered her eyes and saw the candy in her bag. She couldn't help but smile and almost forgot that she had specifically asked Zhao Lei for the strange-flavored candy.

Xia Xi took out the candy, put it in his pocket, suppressed the smile on his lips, and walked out calmly.

Ziheng lay motionless on the sofa in a difficult position, seemingly exhausted and asleep again. Xu Yanfeng sat beside him, flipping through a book. Xia Xi sat over and asked him casually, "Do you want some candy?"

She pulled a few out of her pocket and held them tightly.

Xu Yanfeng raised his eyes and glanced at her, then looked at the colorfully wrapped candies in her hand: "I don't want to eat them."

Xia Xi: “…”

Why didn't he fall for it?

Xia Xi kicked off her slippers, leaned against the armrest of the sofa, and rolled her eyes, wondering how she could get him to agree to eat candy. She couldn't just pry open his mouth and stuff it in.

"This is the wedding candy Zhao Lei gave me. She said that eating it will bring me some good luck." Xia Xi made up an excuse.

Xu Yanfeng paused and stretched out a hand towards her: "Then let me try it."

Xia Xi didn't give it to him: "I'll peel it for you."

Don't let him see the packaging bag. The flavor is written on it, otherwise he won't eat it.

Xu Yanfeng felt a little suspicious, thinking that Xia Xi was too enthusiastic, but he didn't delve into it. He waited for her to peel off the candy bag, hand it to his mouth, and then eat it.

Xia Xi stared at his face with her eyes fixed, her lips tightly pursed, afraid that she would laugh out loud if she wasn't careful.

Xu Yanfeng tasted a hint of bitterness and his expression froze. At first, he thought that this was the taste of candy. Gradually, he found that something was wrong. As the candy melted, the bitter taste in his mouth became stronger and stronger.

He opened his lips slightly, frowned deeply, and turned to look at Xia Xi.

Xia Xi read the words "what's going on" from his face, and finally couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed uncontrollably. Her laughter scared her, and suddenly she remembered that Ziheng was sleeping, so she quickly covered her mouth.

It turns out that Xu Yanfeng, who remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe, would also show this kind of life-doubting expression after eating the prank candy.

Xia Xi held her abdomen and laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.

The expression on Xu Yanfeng's face lasted for a few seconds. From Xia Xi's reaction, he came to his senses and said vaguely, "Are you deliberately making trouble for me?"

Xia Xi nodded, still finding it funny, and chuckled.

Xu Yanfeng curled the corner of his lips, hooked his finger at her, and asked her to sit closer.

Xia Xi felt that something was wrong and shook his head in resistance. He calmly stretched out his foot, stepped into his slippers, and prepared to escape.
