Chapter 16 He painstakingly and step by step approached his beloved.



*

Having successfully arranged a meeting with Nan Qing, Shen Moqiu began his second step, asking her in a seemingly casual tone:

"By the way, Qingqing, do you usually spend weekends with your brother?"

"Let me confirm the number of people so we can book a table more easily."

Nan Qing thought for a moment. His brother was going to participate in a competition this weekend and probably wouldn't have time. Should he invite Lin Bosang along? That way, he wouldn't accuse him of eating alone again. Last time, when he and his third brother went to the amusement park without inviting him, Lin Bosang nagged him for over a week, scaring both Nan Qing and Gu Nanqian.

"You can reserve a table for three people. Lin Bosang and I will go together. Do you want to invite some friends too, like Yang Xu? I see you two get along quite well."

"Besides, you treated me to dinner today, so next time it's my turn to treat you. It's a deal, okay? Don't try to take it from me, or I'll feel awkward going out to eat with you."

Nan Qing joked with Shen Moqiu across from her with a smile. Shen Moqiu didn't argue with her about who would treat her to dinner. He said, "If you treat me to one meal, then it'll be my turn to treat you to one next time."

This is perfect; this is how his relationship with his Qingqing should be—it's impossible to untangle it.

As for Lin Bosang...

Haha, he'll definitely have something to do that day.

So happy~

His girlfriend agreed to go on a date with him this weekend.

The restaurant served the food very quickly.

The three main dishes—Mao Xue Wang (a spicy Sichuan dish), chopped chili fish head, and spicy chicken—were all served. The bright red chilies and oily soup looked incredibly tempting.

Nan Qing called out to Shen Moqiu and then began to eat the Maoxuewang dish. Maoxuewang is a famous dish in Sichuan cuisine, made with pork offal. It is a highly controversial dish in Sichuan cuisine. People who like it love it, but people who don't like it dare not touch it.

For Nan Qing, it's not a matter of whether something tastes good or not, but whether it's edible or not.

Speaking of delicious food, Nan Qing thinks she also really likes to eat a whole balut (fertilized duck egg) in one bite, which is both delicious and can scare Qin Mobei.

As she ate, Nan Qing paused slightly, wondering why she had suddenly thought of Qin Mobei.

At this moment, Shen Moqiu picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and placed it in the bowl in front of Nan Qing.

"What's wrong?"

"Is it too spicy?"

Seeing that Nan Qing suddenly seemed a little stunned, Shen Moqiu thought that Nan Qing was burned by the chili peppers, so he quickly asked the shopkeeper to bring over a bottle of coconut juice that could relieve the spiciness.

"Here, take a sip."

Nan Qing snapped out of her reverie upon hearing Shen Moqiu's words, and then stopped thinking about it, focusing her attention back on the delicious food in front of her.

Seeing that Shen Moqiu's own bowl was still clean, and that he had even taken quite a bit for himself, she quickly invited him to eat with her.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

"I just tasted a bit of chili pepper."

"You should eat too!"

"Don't let me eat it all by myself!"

The dishes on the table were almost completely devoured as the two chatted back and forth. In the end, each dish was reduced to just a little bit of mixed vegetables, which saved them the trouble of packing them up, as it was not really appropriate to take them back to the classroom.

After school, Shen Moqiu packed the exam materials, pens, notebooks, and other items into his schoolbag and carried them with him. So after the two finished eating, they went straight to the school library.

When they arrived at the library, the two found a spot near the window where they wouldn't disturb others. Nanqing went to the restroom, while Shen Moqiu sat and organized the things he took out of his bag.

Yang Xu suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding a bottle of milk in one hand and a box of stomach medicine in the other. He disdainfully shoved them into Shen Moqiu's hands, looking at Shen Moqiu with a tone of disappointment and frustration:

"I'm telling you, chasing after someone is one thing, but are you out of your mind?"

"Knowing full well that I can't handle any spicy food"

"Hurry up, take two of these stomach pills and drink some milk to relieve the spiciness."

While giving instructions to Shen Moqiu, Yang Xu kept glancing in the direction Nan Qing had left. He had a bad feeling when he heard that Shen Moqiu was going to take Nan Qing to eat Sichuan food.

This kid has never been able to eat spicy food since he was a child; he can barely touch any. His stomach is only meant for bland food. It would be strange if he didn't get a stomachache after eating this Sichuan meal.

"I'm leaving now. Remember to take your medicine as soon as possible."

After saying that, Yang Xu sneaked away like a thief.

Shen Moqiu opened the medicine box, took out two stomach pills and swallowed them dry, then put the stomach pills in the innermost layer of his schoolbag.

His stomach was indeed feeling unwell, with waves of cramping pain, but little did Yang Xu know that in order to eat with Qingqing, to be closer to her, he was willing to learn to eat spicy food.

When Nanqing returned, she saw a bottle of pure milk on her seat.

"Huh, you gave this to me?"

"Mmm, this will quench my thirst."

Sichuan cuisine is indeed quite strong in flavor, and Nanqing did feel a bit thirsty, so she didn't refuse his kindness.

Thanks!

"By the way, which question are you referring to?"

The two sat facing each other across the table. Shen Moqiu placed the test paper in front of Nan Qing, so Nan Qing had to turn her body slightly and twist her neck to see the words on the test paper clearly.

Shen Moqiu smiled inwardly, then picked up the test paper, stood up, and sat down next to Nan Qing, pulling the chair closer until he was almost pressed against her.

The hand that was close to Nan Qing probably had some ideas of its own, and quietly climbed onto the back of the chair where Nan Qing was sitting. From behind, it looked as if Shen Moqiu was embracing Nan Qing. The two of them, one tall and handsome, the other petite and beautiful, were a picture of exquisite beauty.

Nan Qing was completely focused on the exam paper in front of her. She felt that although Shen Moqiu was a little close, this was a library, and it would be bad to talk too loudly and disturb others if she were to explain the questions. So she didn't think too much about it and focused on explaining the questions that Shen Moqiu had shown her.

Shen Moqiu could clearly see the fine hairs on Nan Qing's face by slightly tilting his head; his Nan Qing was really cute.

They were completely unaware of their ulterior motives.

She was explaining the problem to him with the serious look of a little teacher. Shen Moqiu just watched as her rosy little mouth opened and closed from time to time, uttering one professional term after another.

He had no idea whether the solution was good or bad; all he knew was that his mind was filled with Nan Qing's small, red, and slightly swollen lips, which were flushed from eating chili peppers.

"Amo, did you understand this question?"

After explaining the solution to a major problem, Nan Qing turned to look at Shen Moqiu beside her.

But Shen Moqiu actually got so close to her.

She was so close that she could almost count how many of Shen Moqiu's long eyelashes were.

but.

I must say, this chosen one is actually quite good-looking.

"you....."
