"If other flavors were packaged in purple, would Qiu Chi still think it tastes good?" Yan Qing held up a bottle of mulberry-flavored drink and waved it at Yu Qiu Chi.
The bottle's packaging happens to be purple.
Yu Qiuchi thought for a moment, then unzipped the bottle and released the gas: "Maybe I'm just too content with the status quo and don't really want to try new things. The grape flavor is pretty good."
"Then Qiuchi, you're missing out on a lot of delicious drinks! Lychee, bayberry, and mulberry are all really good!" Yan Qing enthusiastically introduced the drinks in her hand.
"Qiuchi, would you like to try the lychee flavor? I absolutely love it!"
Yan Qing's seemingly aloof face gave people a great sense of deception; who would have thought that this person was such a chatterbox?
“Okay, but I’ve already opened this grape-flavored one.” Qiu Chi pointed to the grape drink.
"Give it to me? I want to try the grape flavor." Gu Xiaojun, who was talking to the waiter, turned around and took the grape-flavored drink in front of Yu Qiuchi and put it in front of herself.
Looking into Yan Qing's clear eyes, Yu Qiuchi took the bottle of lychee-flavored liquor.
For Yu Qiuchi, this was a novel experience; he was the kind of person who, once he set his mind on something, would stick with it.
The lychee flavor is very strong, but Yu Qiuchi thinks it's more pungent than the grape flavor, giving it a popping, crackling sensation in the mouth, like eating popping candy.
"How is it? Isn't the lychee flavor delicious?"
"Mm." Yu Qiuchi nodded to Yan Qing.
They were all young men in their twenties or older. They had been exercising all morning and had eaten quite a lot. Meatballs and other meat dishes were basically gone as soon as they were put into the pot.
Xie Tingsi saw Yu Qiuchi put down her chopsticks, scoop out some duck blood, and ask, "Qiuchi, do you want some?"
"Sorry." This was a refusal, but Yu Qiuchi asked Song Yaozhuo, who was silently peeling shrimp across from her, "Song Yaozhuo, do you want some?"
The main reason was that Song Yaozhuo was so engrossed in peeling shrimp that he barely touched his food.
"Huh?" Song Yaozhuo looked up, not expecting Yu Qiuchi to ask him that.
“Duck blood.”
"Oh, sure."
Gu Xiaojun also noticed that Yu Qiuchi had barely touched her chopsticks and asked, "Qiuchi, do you not eat offal?"
Because this pot is basically made up of duck blood, duck intestines, liver, and the like.
"It's alright," Yu Qiuchi said, a little embarrassed.
"Can fungi accept that?"
"Can."
Gu Xiaojun nodded to indicate that she understood, and then after the pot was divided up, she added some mushrooms.
Meanwhile, Song Yaozhuo, who was quietly peeling shrimp, pushed the plate towards Yu Qiuchi, his intention quite clear.
"For me?" Yu Qiuchi asked, somewhat surprised.
Song Yaozhuo nodded and then went to eat the ribs in his bowl.
"Thank you," Yu Qiuchi glanced at Jiang Chenzhou discreetly, because when Song Yaozhuo pushed the plate over earlier, Jiang Chenzhou had also looked over, and for some reason, Yu Qiuchi felt a little guilty.
"Is it spicy? Have some mushrooms, it's a three-delicacy hot pot." Jiang Chenzhou took Yu Qiuchi's small bowl and filled it with some mushrooms for him.
Tang Ke felt it was quite pointless. He was already in a semi-give-up state. He had initially been attracted to Gu Xiaojun's personality, but he could see clearly that Gu Xiaojun was more interested in someone like Yu Qiuchi. Tang Ke wouldn't make a fool of himself. Anyway, he wasn't in love to the point of obsession and had to pursue her. He would just treat it as a vacation.
"Brother Tang Ke, let me tell you, this seasoning is amazing! I'll make it for you!"
Tang Ke looked at Yan Qing, who was enjoying his meal immensely, and sighed. This kid is really clueless. The person you like is showering attention on someone else, and you're still eating here. If you're not single, who is?
[Haha, Yu Qiuchi's side is a huge battlefield, while Yan Qing and the beauty are showing off like crazy.]
[It's making me hungry too.]
Smart people have already ordered takeout.
[Yu Qiuchi is just acting out the scenario of "no, no, no food."]
Why does everyone like Yu Qiuchi? What's so great about him? He's just a bit good-looking, right? Are pretty boys all the rage now? So superficial.
Yu Qiuchi felt exhausted during the meal; his mouth was tired, and his mind was even more tired. One person asked him if he wanted to eat, another asked him if the food was good. At first, he would talk, but later he simply nodded or shook his head perfunctorily.
"Qiuchi, are you full?"
“Ah, right.” Yu Qiuchi replied after finishing the last sip of his drink. His bowl was truly empty; he was a practitioner of the empty plate campaign.
"Eating so little?" Xie Tingsi was a little incredulous. He felt that Yu Qiuchi was eating like a cat, taking very small bites.
"I'm really full, I'm stuffed from eating today."
Xie Tingsi glanced at Yu Qiuchi's slender and bony wrists. "She eats so little and is so picky. No wonder she's so light. She'll have to take better care of herself."
Song Yaozhuo and Jiang Chenzhou moved in perfect unison, both holding tissues in their very attractive paws as they presented them to each other.
This put Yu Qiuchi in an awkward position; it wasn't appropriate for her to accept anything from anyone.
"The shy rose quietly blooms, slowly unfolding, leaving behind..." The nap bell rang, saving Yu Qiuchi's life. He didn't take anyone's, but got up and pulled out a few more sheets of paper from the box in front of Yan Qing.
"I'm going to answer a phone call."
[That ringtone just now...emm, how should I put it, even my grandma doesn't ring that old.]
[Though it may seem rustic, when it's taken to its extreme, it becomes fashionable.]
My beautiful wife and I are using matching couple items, which practically means she has a crush on me, right?
[You ate a few amazing duck necks upstairs, and you're acting so arrogant!]
Yu Qiuchi left the restaurant immediately. He felt like he was covered in the smell of hot pot and was eager to find a quiet place.
"A shy rose..."
