Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere didn't last long. A few minutes after Wenjing returned, the waiters quickly served the dishes.
Ji Muhan glanced calmly at the crayfish Mo Xiaoqing had picked up, paused for two seconds, then opened her mouth unhurriedly, ate the crayfish, chewed it a few times, and quickly swallowed it.
In the middle of it, he habitually frowned, and a feeling of nausea involuntarily welled up, which he forcibly suppressed.
He subconsciously pressed his temples.
"What's wrong?"
"No, I think I've caught a cold these past couple of days; I don't have much of an appetite!"
Mo Xiaoqing blinked, her expression a mixture of surprise and disbelief.
"...You have a cold?"
"What's wrong? I have a cold. Is it something you can't believe? Is it really that surprising that I have a cold?"
"No, it's not that. It's just that you always seem so strong, I never imagined you could catch a cold..."
Ji Muhan felt both helpless and amused. As long as you are a person, you will catch a cold, and you will experience birth, aging, sickness and death. Isn't that normal?
In the little girl's eyes, it seemed as if he were an alien, and she had a cold... which she found hard to accept!
"Don't you usually like to eat shrimp? Why didn't you ask me to peel shrimp for you today?"
"Ah, haven't you been working too hard on my cases lately? I was thinking of letting you get more rest, and aren't you going back to your unit soon?"
"Who told you I'm going back to the army soon?" Ji Muhan raised an eyebrow silently. His seemingly casual gesture actually carried boundless charm, possessing a captivating and alluring quality.
"Didn't you always do this before? You always had to go back to the unit to report after completing a mission, and sometimes you couldn't even get an extra day of rest!"
Ji Muhan couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't worry, I can rest well in the capital during this time and don't need to go back to the army for now!"
Mo Xiaoqing's eyes flickered, but she knew that this wasn't the time to discuss such matters at the table, so she didn't ask too many questions.
She nodded happily, "Yes, then you should definitely peel more shrimp for me."
Seeing her smile, Ji Muhan habitually smiled back. Without a second thought, she reflexively put down her chopsticks and began peeling shrimp for her with a dignified and elegant gesture.
But they didn't realize that their natural way of getting along made them seem so sweet to others.
Moreover, given their previous tacit understanding, it seemed that only the two of them could exist, and no one else could "interfere" between them.
This unspoken atmosphere caused the others to pause instinctively and look up at them.
Meanwhile, Ji Muhan had already swiftly and deftly peeled off a shrimp, dipped it in some chili and soy sauce, and habitually offered it to Mo Xiaoqing's mouth...
It was a normal and habitual action, yet it captivated them, leaving them somewhat mesmerized.
Especially Mo Yanyu, who was sitting to Mo Xiaoqing's right, could clearly hear the entire conversation between the two. Naturally, his gaze became increasingly deep, and he subtly glanced at the person next to him...
But he quickly looked away, the entire process lasting less than two seconds, so fast that it was almost imperceptible.
Jiang Wenjing's lips twitched at the sight of this cringe-worthy scene. "Hey, hey, hey, can't you tone it down a bit, Xiao Si?"
"Ah, I actually forgot you guys were still here." Mo Xiaoqing shrugged innocently, her innocent and pure look was just too irritating to look at.
"..."
Jiang Wenjing flipped the table. If it weren't for Xiao Si's brother being there, she would have rushed up and given Mo Xiaoqing a good beating. She had never seen such an annoying person!
Ji Yao, “…” She’s always stirring up trouble.
Naturally, it wasn't just the two of them who had this thought; Li Qian, who had been quietly drinking tea and observing Ji Muhan, was also on the sidelines.
She felt a little annoyed too. Why did they even want to eat out with the two of them? This wasn't eating at all; it was just one-sided torture for these single people…
A hint of envy flashed in Li Qian's eyes, but it was only for a moment before she quickly concealed it. She took two sips of tea, suppressing her feelings of envy.
This kind of happiness doesn't belong to her; it belongs to Xiao Si, the youngest sister in their dorm. She should feel happy for her, at least she got the happiness she could never have asked for before…
