"Just because you don't like peeling shrimp?" Shi Xi pressed for an answer.

"Yeah, it's a hassle." Wu Ni shrugged.

Shi Xi picked up a spicy shrimp and demonstrated, "Pinch off the head, then twist it, and you can pull it out."

Not only did they peel out the whole shrimp meat, but they also removed the shrimp vein.

Shi Xi placed the shrimp meat on Wu Ni's plate and said, "Try your spicy shrimp."

Wu Ni looked at the shrimp meat in front of him in surprise, "This was peeled for me?"

"Uh, you eat it, I can't eat it." Shi Xi added, "I washed my hands before eating, don't worry."

"This is the first time someone has ever peeled shrimp for me." Wu Ni stared at the shrimp meat in front of him, still in a daze.

Shi Xi thought for a moment.

I can't think of anything.

"Eat," Shi Xi could only say.

The audience in the observation room and the live chat were shocked when they saw Shi Xi peeling shrimp for Wu Ni.

Wow! Shi Xi actually peeled shrimp for Wu Ni?!

[Although, I thought it was for Chu Yuan to peel.]

[Ugh, how do we even ship this pair? Wu Ni is practically an older man to Shi Xi, right?]

[Oh my god, Shi Xi is really flirting with everyone... Li Jinfan is already jealous.]

The camera deliberately focused on Li Jinfan.

Li Jinfan's jealous gaze fell on Wu Ni.

One Chu Yuan is enough, do we really need another Wu Ni?!

Li Jinfan's eyes lit up and he came up with a good idea. "Sister Xi, can you teach me how to peel them? The ones I peel are never whole."

"Sure." Shi Xi didn't suspect anything, picked up another shrimp, pinched off the head, and with a twist of her hand, pulled out the shrimp vein and peeled the shrimp meat out intact.

Following Shi Xi's movements, Li Jinfan successfully pulled out the shrimp meat in one go.

"Sister Xi is amazing!" Li Jinfan exclaimed sincerely.

Shi Xi: "Yes, a person who can't eat shrimp has amazing shrimp-peeling skills."

We should truly marvel at the wonders of the Creator.

Shi Xi handed the shrimp to Wu Ni, who was standing nearby, and said, "This is braised, you can have it."

Li Jinfan: ?!

Holy crap, shouldn't we have given it to him?!

This is fucking outrageous!

He laid so much groundwork, only to have it all benefit Wu Ni?

The live chat was filled with laughter: "Poor Li Jinfan, I'm dying of laughter!"

[It's obvious that Li Jinfan wanted Shi Xi to peel shrimp for him, but unexpectedly Shi Xi gave them to Wu Ni instead.]

There was no other way; Wu Ni was sitting closest to Shi Xi—being near the water meant getting the first taste of the moon.

[Qingqing and Sister Jiu's expressions are both weird, wow.]

After peeling the shrimp, Shi Xi wiped her hands with a napkin, but still felt uncomfortable, so she said, "I'm going to wash my hands."

Xu Ziqing stood up and said with a smile, "I'll go get the soup."

Shi Xi chose the kitchen, which was the closest one available.

Xu Ziqing asked seemingly casually, "You and Brother Wu seem to have a good relationship."

"Huh?" Shi Xi recalled her actions just now and, fearing a misunderstanding, quickly clarified, "No, I treat him as an elder."

Wu Ni is already 28!

She's only 18!

Xu Ziqing smiled and said, "I was just asking. I think Jin Fan likes you quite a bit."

"That's just how he is, so enthusiastic," Shi Xi commented.

Xu Ziqing ladled out the soup and said no more.

After dinner, Shi Xi helped tidy up and then spent time alone with Feng Yingyuan in the kitchen.

Unlike Xu Ziqing, Feng Yingyuan didn't beat around the bush; she asked directly, "Who are you writing to tonight?"

Shi Xi: "...Can I say this?"

"I was just asking," Feng Yingyuan shrugged, "Judging from your expression, are you going to write a letter to Chu Yuan?"
