Chapter 232 Your ears are red like spicy crayfish
Chu Ci gritted his teeth and said, "Then you don't have to eat so much..."
"What's that? I'm just eating skewers normally. Do you want to try it?"
Tang Yutong handed over the skewers as he spoke. Chu Ci thought Tang Yutong had come to his senses and agreed to let him eat it. He was just about to reach out to take it, but Tang Yutong retracted her hand the next second.
"I almost forgot, you can't eat it."
Tang Yutong took another bite of the skewer. Chu Ci was really intolerable this time. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Tang! Yu! Tong! Is it fun?"
Tang Yutong looked at Chu Ci's frustrated look and couldn't help laughing.
“Hahahaha…this is fun…hahahaha…”
Tang Yutong laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, and it took her a long time to recover.
Chu Ci watched from the side, angrily scooping a large spoonful of watermelon into his mouth. The cold sweetness could not soothe his wounded heart at all.
Tang Yutong chuckled, picked up another bunch of roasted eggplants, took a bite, and deliberately let out a satisfied sigh:
"Oh, this garlic flavor is amazing."
Chu Ci stared at her, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and said in a dangerous tone:
"Tang Yutong, just wait. When I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll drag you to eat all the barbecue in Beijing and make you vomit."
She shrugged nonchalantly: "Okay, but only if you get better first."
After she finished speaking, she took another bite of the barbecue in front of him, got some sauce on the corner of her mouth, and licked it deliberately.
Chu Ci was so angry that he wanted to bite her, but he couldn't do anything about it. He could only continue to dig the watermelon viciously. He secretly swore in his heart that he would get this account back after he was discharged from the hospital!
Seeing his frustrated look, Tang Yutong finally couldn't help laughing, and reached into the bag to take out a box of fruit and handed it to him:
"Okay, stop playing pitiful. Here you go."
Chu Ci looked down and saw his favorite lychees, already peeled, with the crystal clear flesh neatly arranged in the box.
He was stunned for a moment, then looked up at her:
"You won't let me eat?"
"You've already eaten the watermelon, and you're still talking about this? Eat it quickly and stop talking nonsense."
Chu Ci stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly smiled and reached out to take the box:
"Miss Tang, are you giving me a slap in the face and then a sweet date?"
"Give it back to me if you don't want to eat it."
She pretended to snatch it, but he immediately protected the box, smiling like a fox who had triumphed.
"Eat! Of course!"
Tang Yutong rolled her eyes at him, lowered her head and continued eating the barbecue, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose slightly.
Chu Ci stuffed lychees into his mouth while stealing glances at Tang Yutong.
She was taking small bites of roasted eggplant, her red lips slightly oily, glistening in the light.
He suddenly felt that the lychee in his hand was no longer sweet, and he spoke inexplicably:
"Hey, Tang Yutong, there's sauce on the corner of your mouth."
"Um?"
She subconsciously raised her hand to wipe it, but there was nothing. Seeing this, Chu Ci smiled and instructed:
She frowned and wiped it to the right again:
"Anything else?"
"No, a little higher."
Tang Yutong finally realized that he was playing tricks on her and narrowed her eyes:
"Chu Ci, are you itching for trouble?"
"I'm concerned about you."
He smiled with a face that looked like he wanted to be beaten, and suddenly stretched out his hand,
"Come, let me help you."
Before his fingers even touched her face, she slapped them away:
"Don't try that on me! I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
"Last time? What last time? Oh—you mean I accidentally…"
"Shut up!"
Her ears felt hot, and she grabbed the pillow and threw it at him. Chu Ci caught it steadily, hugged it in his arms, and pretended to be aggrieved:
"Miss Tang, how can you treat a patient like this? You should be gentler when dealing with patients."
"To you? Gentle? Then you might as well hope pigs can fly."
"Tsk, you're so fierce, who would dare to marry you in the future?"
“What’s it to you?”
She grabbed a skewer of roast meat and bit into it viciously, then continued:
"My pursuers stretch from here to France!"
He raised his eyebrows, suddenly moved closer, looked into Tang Yutong's eyes and said:
"Really? Then why didn't I see you bring your boyfriend?"
Tang Yutong's heart skipped a beat at his sudden approach, and she leaned back, pretending to be calm.
"N-None of your business! Go eat your watermelon!"
Chu Ci retreated triumphantly and leisurely scooped a spoonful of watermelon:
"Could it be that... Miss Tang actually likes my type?"
"Pfft—when did Mr. Chu become so shameless?"
Tang Yutong almost choked on her beer. After she recovered, she looked at Chu Ci's face and said:
"It's hard to say whether I like your type or not, but I really like your face. After all, who doesn't like a handsome guy?"
"So you girls are just like us boys, you like good-looking ones."
"What else do you think? Could it be that he really is after your money?"
"Is it possible that they like me for my good looks and my money?"
Tang Yutong thought about it and it seemed to be true.
"What about you? What do you like about them?"
"What do you mean 'they'?" Chu Ci said to Tang Yutong with an innocent look on his face.
"That's the person you dated before."
Tang Yutong said this and picked up another lamb skewer and started eating, as if she was really just chatting with Chu Ci, but in fact she was a little nervous inside.
"Who told you I was dating before?"
Chu Ci simply denied it. After all, if he didn’t say it, who would know how many girls he had dated?
"Don't tell me you haven't talked to anyone?"
Tang Yutong looked at Chu Ci with suspicion, not believing what he said at all.
"I'm so handsome, how could I have never been in a relationship?"
"When was the last time you were in love?" Tang Yutong asked subconsciously.
"Why are you asking this? Are you trying to date me?"
Chu Ci looked at Tang Yutong with a meaningful expression.
"Are you shameless?" Tang Yutong retorted quickly, as if his tail had been stepped on.
Chu Ci shrugged and said nonchalantly:
"Why do I need face? I just need you."
The air suddenly became quiet.
The two of them were stunned at the same time. Chu Ci then realized what he had said and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.
Tang Yutong's face turned red at a visible speed, and she hurriedly packed up the barbecue.
"I...I'm going to take out the trash!"
She stood up too hastily and accidentally tripped over the leg of the coffee table, falling forward.
Chu Ci was quick to grab her wrist, and inertia caused Tang Yutong to fall directly into his arms.
Their eyes met, their breaths intertwined.
“…This is the second time.”
He whispered, his voice a little hoarse.
Tang Yutong rested her hands on his chest and could clearly feel his accelerated heartbeat. She opened her mouth, but suddenly found herself at a loss for words.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door, and the two separated as if they had been electrocuted.
The nurse pushed the door open and saw this scene:
Chu Ci sat upright and ate a watermelon, while Tang Yutong frantically fixed her hair with her back to the door. The air was filled with a strange ambiguity.
"...take your temperature."
The nurse looked at the two of them suspiciously, put down the thermometer and left quickly, closing the door considerately.
In the end, Chu Ci was the first to break down and burst out laughing:
"Ms. Tang, your ears are as red as spicy crayfish."
"Shut up!"
She grabbed the last lychee and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Even eating can't stop your mouth!"
Chu Ci bit a lychee and looked at Tang Yutong with a smile on his face.
He suddenly felt that the days in the hospital were not so difficult to endure.
