Xie Yunzhou looked at the shrimp in front of him and said, "I don't want to peel them myself."

Shi Xi, who was wearing disposable gloves and gnawing on a lamb bone, said upon hearing this, "I'll call the waiter and have him peel it for you."

Xie Yunzhou: ?

"A small tip will suffice." Shi Xi was about to ring the bell to call the waiter.

Xie Yunzhou: ?!

"No need, I don't like others peeling them for me." Xie Yunzhou said meaningfully.

"Who used to peel them for you?" Shi Xi asked.

Xie Yunzhou: "I rarely eat shrimp."

Shi Xi thought to herself, "Then you shouldn't eat this time either."

There are so many things to do.

Do you expect your mom to come and peel shrimp for you?

Just as Shi Xi was about to speak, she met Xie Yunzhou's gaze.

He wouldn't want me to peel shrimp for him, would he?

Shi Xi paused in her gnawing on the bone, and finally asked, "Did you watch my variety show?"

Xie Yunzhou hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Could it be that Shi Xi guessed he was jealous?

Should I reveal my feelings now?

Xie Yunzhou lowered his eyes, avoiding Shi Xi's gaze, and somewhat regretted his rashness.

You shouldn't do something so outrageous just because you're jealous.

After a moment's reflection, Xie Yunzhou quickly came up with a solution.

Should we continue to insist on peeling shrimp from the river?

Or are you just joking?

While Xie Yunzhou was pondering, Shi Xi spoke up.

“No wonder,” Shi Xi put down the lamb bone, changed into a pair of disposable gloves, and said, “You’re after my shrimp-peeling skills, aren’t you?!”

Xie Yunzhou: ? ? !

He had considered that Shi Xi might be angry, compromise, or become suspicious.

I never expected Shi Xi to react like this!

Shi Xi peeled a shrimp and placed it in Xie Yunzhou's bowl, saying, "I'll peel a shrimp for you. You absolutely have to invite me to that variety show you mentioned!"

Xie Yunzhou was still confused by Shi Xi's thought process. When he came to his senses, there were already two peeled shrimp pieces in the bowl.

After Shi Xi placed the third shrimp in Xie Yunzhou's bowl, Xie Yunzhou said, "That's enough."

"Hmm?" Shi Xi looked up and asked, "Is that enough?"

Xie Yunzhou nodded.

Shi Xi peeled three shrimp for him, one more than she had given to the unknown man.

“Okay.” Shi Xi continued gnawing on her lamb bone.

Although gnawing on bones is hardly an image-building activity.

But what image does she need to maintain in front of Xie Yunzhou?

Xie Yunzhou suddenly asked, "Has anyone ever peeled shrimp for you?"

Shi Xi thought for a moment, "No."

Xie Yunzhou didn't ask any more questions and ate all the shrimp that Shi Xi had peeled for him.

It tastes better than anything I usually eat.

If Shi Xi could hear what Xie Yunzhou was thinking, she would probably say that shrimp meat is just so delicious.

Just as Shi Xi was about to gnaw on the second lamb bone, a shrimp appeared on the plate—it was hard to say it was peeled, but it was definitely peeled.

Judging from the bumpy surface, you can tell this person probably rarely peels shrimp.

"Hmm?" Shi Xi looked up at Xie Yunzhou in confusion.

"I peeled it for you," Xie Yunzhou said.

"But I can't eat shrimp," Shi Xi said, even more puzzled.

Xie Yunzhou: "Then we'll just have to wait and see."

Shi Xi: ?

Is this some new and cruel form of punishment?

You can only look at it, not eat it?!

Xie Yunzhou offered no explanation.

He wanted to be the first person to peel shrimp for Shi Xi.

Moreover, only he could peel shrimp for Shi Xi.

Shi Xi couldn't understand Xie Yunzhou's thought process. Looking at the peeled and uneven shrimp meat, she lost all desire to eat shrimp.

very good.

After dinner, Xie Yunzhou offered to take Shi Xi home.

"I'm going to the boutique to buy a gift," Shi Xi said. "Xu Ziqing is the girl I recorded with; her birthday is coming up soon."
