Xu Yanfeng knew that he wouldn't get the answer he wanted from Xia Xi, so he looked at her for a moment before looking away and locking his gaze on Zhou Du's face, patiently waiting for his answer.
Zhou Du didn't dare to look at Xu Yanfeng even for a moment.
Knowing that playing dumb wouldn't work, he rolled his throat a few times and stammered, "No, there's no special reason. Feelings are like the wind, they come and go freely, and they can be gone in an instant."
He looked at Xia Xi beside him, his facial muscles stiff, and he had to force a smile: "Even if the relationship is gone, it doesn't prevent us from continuing to be friends, right?"
Even he himself didn't have the confidence to say this, and he didn't know whether Xu Yanfeng believed it.
Xia Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Du's reaction was pretty good and he didn't let anything slip. Regardless of whether Xu Yanfeng believed it or not, the topic was settled.
Lu Mingji looked at that and then at that, and was really confused. He was at the center of the storm, but seemed to be excluded from it. He couldn't guess what they were talking about.
Zhou Du’s words “it doesn’t prevent us from being friends” gave him a hint, so, did Zhou Du and Xia Xi really date?
Lu Mingji suddenly felt a bit stressed. Xu Yanfeng's behavior clearly showed that he hadn't let go of Xia Xi, and they even had a child. As for Zhou Du, he couldn't tell what he thought of Xia Xi at the moment.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense, and Xia Xi abruptly changed the subject: "Let's eat. I have something else to do later."
Zhou Du immediately followed the formation: "Well, I remembered that I also have a live broadcast event tonight that needs to be coordinated. Let's finish eating and leave early. Haha, we'll get together again next time if there's a chance."
Next time? There will be no next time. He will never come to South City again in his life!
After Zhou Du said that, he devoured the pasta on the plate like a whirlwind, ready to run away at any time.
Youyou didn't understand the ups and downs among the adults. She poked Xia Xi's arm with her finger, pointed at the plate in front of her, and said in a soft voice, "Mom, can I try your steak?"
"It's black pepper flavored. Do you want to try it?" Xia Xi withdrew all his thoughts from Xu Yanfeng, lowered his head, and asked his daughter in a gentle voice.
The little girl looked at the dark sauce, a little hesitant, but also a little eager to try it. She raised a finger and said, "I'll have a small bite."
"Okay, try a small bite first. If you like it, mom will feed you." Xia Xi cut off a small piece of steak and fed it to her mouth.
After tasting it, Youyou's eyes lit up, and she twisted her body in her chair, dancing with joy: "Delicious!"
Xia Xi smiled, cut a few pieces and fed them to her. The little girl ate so much that the corners of her mouth were covered with sauce.
Ziheng glanced at Youyou and silently took out a few tissues and handed them over.
Zhou Du noticed Ziheng's behavior and looked at Xia Xi, thinking she was a little biased. Why was she so busy feeding Youyou that she ignored Ziheng? He took the untouched steak from the table, cut it into small pieces, and handed it to Ziheng: "Come, I'll feed you."
Xia Xi glanced at it casually and was so frightened that she quickly stopped him: "Don't feed him beef. He is allergic to beef and can't eat it."
When Xu Yanfeng heard this, his expression froze and he glanced over.
"Ah? I don't know." Zhou Du was startled and immediately pushed the plate away.
He didn't eat with the two children often, so he didn't notice this.
Ziheng was wearing disposable gloves while chewing on a fried chicken leg, his tender little face expression calm: "Mom, I know, I wouldn't eat it if you didn't remind me." His mother had told him many times that he would get a rash on his body if he ate beef, and that if it was serious he would have to go to the hospital. He remembered it all.
Xia Xi touched his head and praised: "Great."
When Ziheng ate beef for the first time abroad, his whole body became itchy, a rash appeared on his face and neck, and he also had diarrhea. She was scared to death and sent him to the hospital for an allergen test, only to find out that he was allergic to beef.
It turns out that he is allergic to beef just like Xu Yanfeng.
Wait! Xia Xi suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Yanfeng, only to see him gazing deeply at Ziheng, his expression thoughtful. Her heart trembled. Her eagerness to remind Zhou Du just now was purely instinctive, without giving it much thought...
Xu Yanfeng noticed a pair of eyes falling on his face. He looked back and happened to meet Xia Xi's slightly flustered eyes.
What is she panicking about?
Xia Xi turned his head away to cover up his mistake, his heart beating fast.
She was very sure that Xu Yanfeng must have thought of the same thing as her.
It was not long after they started dating. They were on a date at a Western restaurant in a private room. She cut a steak and fed it to him. He frowned and tilted his neck back, clearly rejecting her. His voice was clear and cold: "No, the beef stinks."
She found it funny. How could anyone think beef was smelly? It was obviously very fragrant.
A plan came to her mind. She looked around and asked him quietly, "There are no surveillance cameras in this box, right?"
"No, what's wrong?" Xu Yanfeng didn't know what tricks she was going to play.
She smiled slyly, opened her mouth to hold the steak, twisted her body, and climbed up to his neck with both hands, feeding him in a different way. Xu Yanfeng was caught off guard and had to put his arm around her waist to prevent her from falling off the chair.
He was forced to swallow the steak. She raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "Is the beef still smelly?"
Xu Yanfeng didn't answer her.
After a meal, a rash appeared on his neck. Fortunately, he didn't consume much, so he didn't need to go to the hospital. He bought some medicine at the pharmacy and took it.
Afterwards, Xia Xi felt guilty, but she was unforgiving, mumbling and complaining to him: "If you are allergic, just say you are allergic. You said the beef is smelly. I thought you were picky about food. Don't you think you deserve it?"
After scolding him, I stole a glance at the red rash on his neck that hadn't yet disappeared. Feeling guilty, I leaned closer and whispered to him, "It just so happens that I've just handed in my big assignment and won't be busy for the next few days. To apologize, I'll go to your house and wait on you."
