This pair of bickering lovers seems destined for each other.
"Stop laughing, stop laughing, can't we just pretend we didn't hear anything?" Hua Rong said angrily.
"Unfortunately, I heard everything I should and shouldn't have heard."
It was Ying Xun's gentle voice. Hua Rong covered her head, feeling utterly ashamed.
"Little Yiyi, you can't do this to me." She pretended to be in excruciating pain.
"Someone was the first to arrive, and none of us can compare." Qingzhiyi's cold words perfectly expressed the thoughts of Chiyi and Yingxun. Indeed, Huarong deserved it.
As a result, Hua Rong, who was the first to arrive, was squeezed into a corner, and she would be ridiculed as soon as she opened her mouth. It couldn't be more tragic.
"You, you bunch of demons, you're slow, yet you blame me for being fast."
"You dare say you didn't use Swift Boots?" Qingzhiyi said with a disdainful look.
"So what if I used it? I'm just worried about Xiaoyezi's safety."
Hua Rong is still struggling with an unwillingness to give up.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. We've all finally gotten together today, so we should be happy. Come on, let's have a drink." Although drinking can be quite enjoyable, I'll go along with Brother Xiuqi's suggestion today.
"Little Yezi, do you have anything to eat? It's a specialty of Zuixianlou. I haven't been able to eat or drink much these days. Can you see how thin my face has become?"
"I think you've been eating too much and have indigestion. Your double chin is almost evolving into a triple chin," Ye Xiruo teased.
"Little Leaf, you can't slander me. I went down the mountain to pray for peace and blessings, and I hung them on the tree by the door. It wasn't a waste of my efforts. These are some fun things we've collected these past few days, some trinkets and some food."
"I'm sorry for making you worry. It's my fault."
Ye Xiruo took out a bunch of Zuixianlou specialties from her spatial ring, some of which were made by Master Zhang Quan himself. Of course, beggar's chicken, braised pork trotters, and eight-treasure duck were also included.
"There's a treasure here. Can you guess which one it is?"
"Rare delicacies," Red Wing seemed puzzled. "These dishes all look so delicious, how can I tell the difference?"
Qingzhiyi, Huarong, and Yingxun's eyes lit up, and they began searching earnestly with a hint of interest.
"Those who guess correctly can take them away directly." Ye Xiruo dropped another bombshell.
"Aww, I'm sure I'll succeed this time!" Hua Rong's eyes widened, looking as cute as a kitten.
"That's not necessarily true." Although Qing Zhiyi's expression was indifferent, the glint in his eyes reflected his true thoughts.
"I will not back down." Yingxun showed no sign of backing down.
Although Chi Yi didn't understand what had happened, he understood from the expressions of the three people beside him. Even if it was just a guess, he had to go for it.
"You are not allowed to eat it, and you are not allowed to ruin the beauty of the dish. You can eat whatever you want from the rest."
Haha, let's play like this from now on. It's really interesting. Ye Xiruo squinted her eyes. If she doesn't allow you to taste it, then you'll just have to guess.
To put it bluntly, it's time to test one's character and luck.
Qingzhiyi was brewing tea on the side, watching Ye Xiruo and the others "fooling around" with a doting expression, without any thought of blaming them.
Now, if Ye Xi wanted to go out and kill someone, Xiu Qiyu would probably nod and say, "I'll go with you."
"Alright, have you thought it through? If no one guesses correctly, then we'll all share the result together."
Hua Rong frowned and looked at Ye Xiruo with a serious expression.
"Little Leaf, just tell me, how many spirit crystals? I'll pay."
"Hua Rong, this is blatant bribery! Do you believe I'll beat you up?"
Chi Yi was the first to object. He rolled up his sleeves and looked at Hua Rong with an air of domineering arrogance. Hua Rong shrank back. "Money makes the world go round. I have money. What's wrong with bribing me?"
Hua Rong shrank behind Qing Zhiyi and shouted defiantly.
Qingzhi sighed, "That idiot."
"Alright, there are three rounds in total. Each person's chances are quite good. I'm optimistic about you guys."
Hua Rong, you idiot! You said you wanted to bribe someone, but you didn't even try to do it secretly. How could she accept it so openly and in front of everyone?
"One person can choose two dishes, but what if both dishes are chosen? How do we divide them?"
"If you're really lucky and you all win, then I'll bring out another identical plate, okay?"
"Okay, Xiaoyiyi, I believe in you, you can definitely do it."
Qingzhi felt ashamed, and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart.
"Hua Rong, you go first."
"Okay, after careful observation and judgment, I choose this one and this one."
Since Ye Xiruo can also cook most of the dishes that Zhang Quan cooks, this is a skill-based job.
Then, Yingxun casually picked two dishes: a cold dish and a soup.
Red Wing chose a casserole and a grilled meat dish.
In the end, Qingzhiyi chose a dessert and a steamed dish.
"The selection is complete, it's time to announce the results." Hua Rong rubbed her fingers together, feeling a strange sense of tension. God help me, God help me, I must be selected. Even if I am not selected, it doesn't matter, I must be selected for Xiao Yi Yi.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Yingxun, two dishes."
Hua Rong: That's unbelievable, why?
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Zhiyi, here's a dessert."
And then, that was it.
Chi Yi didn't care. Even without rare delicacies, the dishes in front of him were already rare and delicious, so he wasn't too disappointed.
The most unbearable pain and disbelief was that of Hua Rong.
"Little Leaf, tell me, why? Why? I don't believe it, you must be lying to me, right?"
"Actually, the answer is very simple. The main dishes should have been eaten long ago. What we can offer now are just some desserts and soups," Yingxun said calmly.
That tone and that confident expression truly befit the black sesame filling of the glutinous rice ball. Ye Xi was convinced.
"Zhiyi, is that what you think too? Why didn't you remind me?"
There was truly no harvest at all, and the woman was on the verge of tears.
"Isn't there still a dessert? You can have it all, sweetie." Qingzhiyi gently ruffled Hua Rong's soft hair; it still felt as good as ever.
"Really?" Hua Rong's eyes widened instantly, like a large dog, and her smile was so bright it could blind anyone.
If Ye Xi was too lazy to watch this pair of lovebirds showing off their affection, she directly handed the dessert to Hua Rong: "This is a token of Zhi Yi's affection."
A faint smile appeared in Yingxun's eyes as she put away the soup and cold dishes. Zishu should like these, right?
"Alright, let's start eating. Everything on the table is something I've carefully prepared."
