Chapter 133 I Can Explain!
Xia Linxing has been feeling very strange lately.
I don’t know what Cheng Xuezhou from the next group is thinking. Recently, he has been running around him to get close to him and even wants to give him snacks at every turn.
Xia Linxing refused several times but failed to get rejected.
If Cheng Xuezhou hadn't just given the snacks to him, but also shared them with other trainees and opened the packages to eat them himself, Xia Linxing really wouldn't have dared to move.
After all, he still remembered that he had promised someone not to eat anything given by others...
But today, I don’t know what stimulated Cheng Xuezhou or whether Xia Linxing had refused him too many times before, Cheng Xuezhou not only brought snacks again today, but also insisted that Xia Linxing try them on the spot.
"Try it, Xia Linxing..." Cheng Xuezhou frankly opened the sealed package in front of him, took out a red food covered with chili powder, put it in his mouth, and said incoherently, "This tastes amazing!"
“Many people can’t even finish one!”
"Come on, give it a try too!"
He held the food in his mouth, took out another one from the package, and handed it to Xia Linxing in a very familiar manner.
The red food was rudely pushed against Xia Linxing's lips. Xia Linxing was startled by the rude action and quickly turned her head away, opening her mouth to refuse: "I won't - um!"
The moment he opened his mouth, Cheng Xuezhou quickly stuffed the bright red food into his mouth.
An extremely aggressive and rough aroma rushed straight into Xia Linxing's nostrils, with the burnt aroma of fried chili peppers and the spicy smell of spices such as cumin and peppercorns.
Xia Linxing took a bite subconsciously.
The first feeling is a firmness, likely due to the gluten. The slight resistance and firmness of the teeth is felt as the tips of the teeth close together. The next second, an oily, salty, and fragrant flavor fills the mouth, layered with the flavors of various spices, a blend of salty, fresh, and fragrant.
But before I could feel it for a few seconds, a spicy taste rushed straight to the top of my head, like a bomb exploding, burning all the way from the tip of my tongue to my throat, and pouring into my esophagus like lava.
Xia Linxing's scalp suddenly felt numb and his ears buzzed.
"This..." What the hell is this? Why is it so spicy?!
He had just opened his mouth to say one word when the cold air that suddenly entered his mouth made the spiciness that had already spread in his mouth even more intense. Xia Linxing was caught off guard and was so stimulated that he choked.
“Cough cough cough…”
His lungs suddenly tightened, and Xia Linxing covered his chest with his hands. He didn't even have time to swallow the food in his mouth before he started coughing heart-wrenchingly.
Every cough ripped through his chest, and his throat felt like it was being scraped repeatedly by a red-hot file. Soon, Xia Linxing's eyes were completely red, and mist filled with tears from the intense coughing. He bent over, his temples throbbing with coughing.
Xia Linxing's violent reaction not only attracted the attention of other trainees who were resting, but also seemed to scare Cheng Xuezhou.
"Oh! Xia Linxing, can't you eat spicy food?"
He frantically grabbed a tissue and asked Xia Linxing to spit out the food in her mouth onto it. Then he frantically began to look around: "Water, water, water... Where's the water?!"
Cheng Xuezhou's eyes quickly swept around, and when he saw the pile of beverage boxes in the corner, his eyes suddenly lit up.
“Found it!”
Under the gaze of the other trainees, he quickly walked to the drinks box, took out a bottle from it, and ran back quickly.
"Xia Linxing! Quick! Water!" He said as he unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it over.
Xia Linxing had coughed so hard that tears welled up in his eyes, and everything he saw was blurry. So when he heard Cheng Xuezhou say "water", he took it without even looking, then tilted his head back and started drinking.
It seems like he wants to use water to suppress the spiciness.
He drank half the bottle in one breath, and only then did he feel the itchiness in his throat disappear. He also finally felt that his mouth had recovered and he could distinguish flavors.
For example, his mouth was now filled with a refreshing sweetness, not the overpowering sweetness of syrup, but more like the natural sweetness of fresh fruit, dancing lively on his taste buds. The rich fruity flavor permeated his mouth, with a uniquely tart taste that perfectly balanced the sweetness.
Even...Xia Linxing chewed and chewed.
You can even taste a bit of the flesh...
What kind of drink is this? It tastes pretty good...
Xia Linxing wiped his eyes and looked down.
In the transparent glass bottle, only half of the golden liquid was left, swaying slightly, as if the tropical afternoon sunshine had been condensed into liquid, as rich as honey, yet still light as it flowed. On the inside of the bottle wall, one could even see fruit pulp fibers as thin as gold threads attached.
Without getting close to the bottle, you can almost smell the unique sweet fragrance of ripe fruit mixed with the scent of tropical rainforest and sunshine.
It's mango juice...
Xia Linxing understood.
No wonder it tastes so good...
He picked up the bottle again and put it to his lips.
He drank too quickly just now and didn't taste it. Let him taste it carefully again -
...Wait, mango juice?!
Xia Linxing took the bottle from his mouth, widened his eyes and looked at it carefully again.
It’s really mango juice!
It is genuine mango juice provided by the sponsor, and they claim that not a drop of water is added!
Xia Linxing only felt a bolt of lightning strike from the head, directly striking him stiffly in place and unable to move.
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over… These were the only two words left in Xia Linxing’s mind.
He drank mango juice this time! Last time, he was admitted to the hospital after eating just two bites of Shen Sibai's mango cake. This time, he directly drank half a bottle of mango juice!
What should he do? What should he do?!
Is it possible that he can only hope that their financial sponsor is engaged in false advertising and that the mango juice is actually mixed with water?
Xia Linxing was holding the bottle, at a loss, and asked, "Xing...Xia Linxing, have you rested well?"
"We're about to start practicing—"
Xie Tinglan poked his head out of the classroom and was about to call Xia Linxing back to practice, but the words suddenly stopped at his lips when he saw the bottle in Xia Linxing's hand.
Xia Linxing looked at Xie Tinglan, then at the bottle in his hand, and suddenly reacted.
……etc!
Xie Tinglan wouldn't think that he deliberately drank mango juice to make himself allergic in order to avoid being the center of attention, right?
He extended his hand towards Xie Tinglan.
Qiaodu sack!
He can explain this!
