"Is it really okay to just tear it off like this?" Luo Jiu murmured.
In novels, the beautiful women who are usually veiled are often depicted as having great beauty. Is it because they want to marry the person in front of them that they are willing to take off their veils?
Could it be that the female lead has taken a liking to me...?
I'm so happy, but I'm also a little scared~ How dare I try to steal the woman from the male lead... hahaha!
Master, don't overdo it.
Luo Jiu: ...
"Snap out of it." Si Nanyin gently tapped Luo Jiu's brow and said:
"This is something that women in my Southern Kingdom only wear when attending very important occasions. Since you're so familiar with Xiao Jiu, it would be impolite to wear a veil," Si Nanyin said with a light smile.
“Then…” Luo Jiu came back to her senses and pointed to someone looking out the window.
Si Nanyin propped herself up on her hands and looked at Gu Muchen, saying calmly, "Xiao Jiu, there's another saying in our Southern Kingdom: a woman will only be willing to give everything for the one she loves..."
Luo Jiu nodded knowingly, feeling somewhat annoyed. She turned to look at Gu Muchen, who showed no reaction to Si Nanyin's words, before finally expressing her satisfaction.
"Sir, all your dishes are served!" The waiter, with a white cloth hanging around his neck, brought over their last dish: steamed hairy crabs.
"Saintess, their crabs are especially delicious, so fresh and tasty. It's just... I don't know if there are any dietary restrictions in your Southern Kingdom..." Luo Jiu picked up a crab for her and smiled at her.
"What's there to avoid? Our Southern Kingdom has practiced witchcraft for generations. Besides using poisonous scorpions and centipedes for medicine, we can also eat them as snacks," Si Nanyin said nonchalantly. However, Luo Jiu swallowed hard, looked a little embarrassed, and turned away without saying another word.
Luo Jiu focused intently on the crab on her plate, tapping and smashing it, but in the end, very little crab meat remained.
Even though she's clumsy with her hands, nothing can stop Luo Jiu's love for crabs. She looked up and put another crab on her plate.
When I turned around, I saw a long, slender, yet powerful hand holding a bowl of crab meat, which was placed in front of me.
The bowl was filled with crab meat, white crab meat and yellow crab roe, slowly intertwined, revealing a little crab juice, which looked very appetizing.
Looking up at Gu Muchen with a smile, just as she was about to thank him, she heard a voice say, "Idiot!" All her good mood vanished instantly, and Luo Jiu was so angry that she couldn't help but hit him.
Luo Jiu took several deep breaths to barely suppress the anger in her heart, and forced an awkward yet polite smile, saying, "Yes, you are the most intelligent deity in the world, how dare you mortals compare to you..."
Gu Muchen did not refute, but the smile on his lips could not be suppressed as he deftly manipulated the crab with his hands, and in no time, a plate of crab meat was ready.
Luo Jiu's eyes sparkled as she glanced at the crab meat in Gu Muchen's bowl, almost saying, "I want some."
Gu Muchen pretended not to see it and went to tease her again...
Si Nanyin watched the two people in front of her, one peeling and the other eating, flirting as if no one else was around, their sweetness almost bubbling over...
Gu Muchen was completely uncharacteristic of him; when asked to be a good host, he repeatedly refused, yet he willingly peeled crabs for his cousin... How interesting...
Si Nanyin clenched her fist, gripping the crab tightly, her veins bulging, but her face remained calm and composed as she smiled at the two people in front of her.
