Liz Cheska bit her lip, and as if to muster up the courage, she gently licked her lips, which were stained with a little cake crumbs.
Immediately, he spat out towards the tissue paper with a "Pah Pah" sound.
"It's still unpalatable. What's wrong with Master Gongyi?"
She paused and asked in a helpless tone -
"Hey, Sister Vivina, have there been any signs before that Gong Yitian and the young master have unusual taste buds? I'm rather careless and have never noticed—"
"At least, as far as I know, I don't recall such an instance—Master Gongyi's palate is actually quite ordinary. He's not the type to rattle off a slew of gourmet connoisseurs' witty remarks upon tasting delicious food, detailing the seasonings, ingredients, origins, and even cooking methods. But—he's also not the type to frown upon a meal and devour it without a care, even asking for more rice—"
"As expected." Liz Cheska tapped the edge of her plate with her fork. "So, Gong Yitian and Master, what exactly is your purpose in lying so openly?"
"No," Gong Yi Tian He answered seriously, "I really think it's delicious. Although I'm not a big fan of sweets, my senior brother and Ah Shi really like it, and we've been dragged to try it at many restaurants. At least to my wooden tongue, it's top-notch."
"Brother Tianhe, you don't have to be like this—" Ouyang Huanshi held his forehead. "If it's this unpalatable, there's basically no chance of a miracle in the outcome of the game. Could it be that you helped her stand because you lost to her in the previous friendly match and now you don't want her to be embarrassed? Well, I understand your kindness, Brother Tianhe, but this time I really stood in the wrong place—"
"No, no, it's you who I think is weird, Ah Shi." Gong Yi Tianhe said indifferently, "Ah Shi, it seems that once you meet Miss Luo Dongxia, your attitude becomes particularly sharp. I don't know if you gave Liz some secret code. Anyway, if you want the group to decide the result, even if you involve Liz and Viviana in the lie, the fact that Miss Luo Dongxia's craftsmanship is better will not change at all—"
"..." Duan Zhenye said weakly, "Master Gong Yitianhe, could it be that you ate something strange before, and as a result - your nerve reflex system is malfunctioning? It was normal before, but it became abnormal today?"
“Go away—”
Ouyang Huanshi pushed Duan Zhenye in disgust, almost pushing him down——
"ah--"
Chu Shangli reached out and helped Duan Zhenye: "Be careful!"
At the same time, he steady the plate that he almost dropped on the ground.
"Why did you push me?"
"Indeed, Ah Shi, why did you push him?" Gong Yi Tianhe questioned his fiancée, "Did you really do something to bribe him? Are you afraid he'd accidentally tell it, so you hinted at him?"
"Brother Tianhe—" Ouyang Huanshi put on an angry expression and said coquettishly, "What are you talking about? How could they have foreseen this and bribed a restaurant waiter? Even if this is a fantasy, this is too outrageous... It doesn't make any sense at all."
"Indeed, if such a thing really existed, it was probably handled by Sister Vivina. After all, it's not a glorious thing. My sister Vivina and the Kantor family behind her exist for this very reason..."
