Chapter 23 Lethal Dose of Chili Pepper Tofu Pudding

The hot soy milk in the bag suddenly spilled out, leaving pink burn marks on Shen Que's cold white skin.

As if he had already guessed Meng Zhiyi's reaction, Shen Que did not get angry. He just glanced at the half-spilled soy milk and sighed helplessly.

"Don't you want to listen to my explanation?" Shen Que said slowly.

Meng Zhiyi pouted, crossed her arms, and looked at Shen Que with a look of settling scores: "What did you promise me last night? Do you want to see the message you sent?"

Shen Que took a step forward, and taking advantage of his height, he trapped Meng Zhiyi in his shadow.

Those extremely beautiful eyes stared straight at her, as if they had a pair of hooks that could bewitch souls.

He lowered his eyes and spoke in a gentle and patient tone: "I didn't forget. She just came here by herself. It has nothing to do with me."

“…”

Meng Zhiyi raised his eyebrows and didn't listen to Shen Que's explanation at all.

[I don't care whether it has anything to do with you or not. Anyway, I saw it, so I will make trouble for no reason. Let's see how long you can endure it. ]

Shen Que's eyes were full of helplessness. He reached out to hold Meng Zhiyi's hand, then looked at the breakfast he bought.

"I'll take you out to eat." Shen Que led Meng Zhiyi towards the car.

"I want to sit in the back." Meng Zhiyi stopped at the back door and refused to move.

Shen Que didn't force her and opened the car door for her to get in.

Song Wei watched Shen Que indulge Meng Zhiyi the whole time, and she felt uncomfortable.

She swallowed the bitterness in her mouth and walked over with difficulty, facing the gossiping looks from all directions.

Song Wei came to the front passenger seat, reached out to grab the door, and said, "A-Que, give me a ride. I have something to go out for."

Shen Que didn't say anything, but just looked at Meng Zhiyi in the back row.

"You can take a taxi by yourself. My girlfriend doesn't like other girls riding in my car." Shen Que said calmly.

"Girlfriend?" Song Wei's expression froze and she looked at Shen Que in disbelief.

At this time, Meng Zhiyi lowered the car window and looked at Song Wei with a joking expression: "Correction, it's my fiancée."

Shen Que chuckled and agreed with her: "Yes, she is my fiancée."

"..." Seeing that he didn't achieve the effect he wanted, Meng Zhiyi suddenly felt a toothache and angrily rolled up the car window again.

[Damn it, Shen Que wouldn't really like me, would he? Although my sister is beautiful, he and Song Wei are a perfect match.]

[Song Wei is useless. With the halo of the heroine, she can't suppress me, a vicious female supporting role.]

Shen Que was now able to automatically ignore the nonsense in Meng Zhiyi's heart. He got into the car and locked the door without even giving Song Wei a look.

The car started and drove away, leaving Song Wei alone and feeling extremely embarrassed.

She clenched her fists tightly and looked at the direction the car was leaving with resentment in her eyes.

No one watching the show around had expected this outcome. Before this, Song Wei and Shen Que were the tacit couple.

When did Shen Que and Meng Zhiyi make their relationship public?

Ding Yue followed Song Wei downstairs, originally intending to help her best friend get together, but she never expected that she would suffer such humiliation.

She stood far away, looking at Song Wei with eyes full of heartache.

She waited until the car disappeared at the end of the road before trotting to Song Wei's side.

"Weiwei, don't be sad... Shen Que must have his own reasons."

Ding Yueman comforted her worriedly.

Song Wei lowered her head, trying her best to suppress the hatred surging in her eyes.

Trying to sound normal, he said sadly, "They were already engaged, and I was the superfluous one."

Ding Yue quickly shook her head: "No, it's obvious that you and Shen Que are a couple, it was Meng Zhiyi who interfered and turned it into this."

Song Wei lowered her head, her shoulders twitching slightly, and she choked up, "But this is the fact. Even though we have known each other since childhood and even though we have feelings for each other, he was still forced to choose this engagement."

"What should I do? I have told myself countless times that I can't do this, but I still can't do it. I feel so sad when I think about him being forced to accept someone he doesn't like."

Song Wei became more and more excited as she spoke. She threw herself on Ding Yue's shoulder and sobbed.

"Don't cry, Weiwei. I'm here. I won't let that bitch Meng Zhiyi succeed! I'll let Shen Que see her true colors and make Old Madam Shen hate her."

Ding Yue kept comforting her, completely unaware that her close friend, whom she cared about so much, now had a sinister look on her face and eyes full of calculations.

After achieving her goal, Song Wei pretended to wipe her tears and said hoarsely, "Farewell, that will embarrass A Que, don't go to see her again."

Although she said so, Song Wei pretended to be heartbroken in front of Ding Yue, which made her feel distressed.

Ding Yue responded nicely, but in her heart she had already made up her mind to look for Meng Zhiyi again.

On the other side, Shen Que drove Meng Zhiyi to a morning tea restaurant.

In the private room, Meng Zhiyi rested his chin on his hand, thinking about something with a complicated expression.

She didn't even notice when Shen Que came in with the menu.

"Meng..." Shen Que was about to call her, but stopped talking when he saw her.

Meng Zhiyi sat closer to the window, and the early morning sunlight was shining on her, as if she was covered with a layer of halo.

Her fair skin is translucent and smooth in the sunlight, her thick eyelashes are like fluttering butterfly wings, and her small and straight nose is particularly delicate.

She held her chin in her hand in a daze and didn't notice she had come in at all.

Shen Que was so fascinated by the scene that he took out his cell phone and took a picture of it.

Afterwards, he came and sat down opposite Meng Zhiyi, reaching out and tapping lightly on the table.

"What do you want to eat?"

Meng Zhiyi came back to his senses, glanced at Shen Que, took the menu in front of him, and then frantically added chili peppers to the tofu pudding option.

Shen Que watched quietly without saying anything.

"Okay, that's it."

Seeing the menu, Shen Que frowned slightly and asked gently, "Are you sure you want to eat this?"

Meng Zhiyi clasped her hands together and held her chin up, looking at him with a smile: "That's yours, and mine is the other one."

Shen Que: “…”

Meng Zhiyi: "You don't want to eat?"

[I don't believe it. Can you eat this? ]

Shen Que pursed his lips and did not answer. After looking at Meng Zhiyi deeply, he stood up and walked out.

After a while, the waiter came in with two bowls of tofu pudding, but one of them contained a lethal amount of chili.

"I want the sweet one."

Shen Que placed the sweet tofu pudding in front of Meng Zhiyi and said in a light voice: "What else do you want to eat?"

"No, you eat too."

As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Shen Que.

[I will watch you eat, if you don't eat I will make a fuss. ]

Shen Que looked at the bowl of spicy tofu pudding in front of him, sighed secretly, and then started eating without changing his expression.

Meng Zhiyi originally thought that he would be angry, but she didn't expect that Shen Que actually ate the bowl of tofu pudding that looked so scary.

Looking at him, Meng Zhiyi was suddenly at a loss.

[Shen Que can't eat spicy food, right? Why does he seem to be able to eat a lot?]

[Did Xiaoba give the wrong person information? I won't recognize the wrong target, right? ]

[It's boring. This mission is really boring. If one or two people don't follow the script, what am I supposed to do?]

After breakfast, Shen Que sent her back to school.

"I'll pick you up after your class." Shen Que turned around and said to Meng Zhiyi who was about to get off the car in the back seat.

Meng Zhiyi raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then I want to have a big meal."

"Okay." Shen Que agreed, and then watched Meng Zhiyi leave.

After her figure disappeared, Shen Que heaved a long sigh of relief and took a piece of paper to wipe the sweat that had seeped out of his forehead.

At this moment, his face had turned pale and his stomach was already cramping and feeling uncomfortable.

That bowl of tofu pudding with a lethal dose of chili has already taken effect.

He endured it, and went to a drugstore to buy some stomach medicine, without letting Meng Zhiyi notice from beginning to end.

Meanwhile, in the hospital.

Zhou Kai had bandages on many parts of his body and was lying on the hospital bed, unable to move.

The phone on the table beside him dinged. He quickly picked it up and saw a WeChat message from Song Wei.

[Zhou Kai, am I really not as good as Meng Zhiyi? Why didn't he choose me? ]
