"Spit it out quickly, or you'll get a stomachache," Luo Xikui said worriedly, patting his back.
He took her hand, looked up and smiled slightly: "It's just that the black pepper flavor is stronger; the taste isn't as scary as the color makes it look."
"Really?" Luo Xikui was skeptical but confident in herself. After forking a piece to eat, she was surprised to find it was actually quite good. Her eyes widened in delight, and she smiled smugly, "Looks like I do have a talent for cooking!"
"You're getting cocky just because I said you're fat." Xu Ziyu slapped her butt.
Luo Xikui chuckled and sat down next to Xu Ziyu, insisting on cutting up the steak and feeding it to him.
This meal for the two of them was similar to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in China. They did nothing in the afternoon but just stayed together like this.
After the Spring Festival, Xu Ziyu began his daily rehabilitation routine.
She made the rehabilitation process, which she used to find particularly difficult, quite enjoyable.
Now, every time he walks slowly back and forth on that rehabilitation frame, she runs around, stands at the end with a pout, and waits for him, calling it a reward.
Perhaps no one in the world could inspire him more than her; her optimism made him feel that all the pain was insignificant.
They lived a blissful life here, while Xiang Hengxi back home was having a much harder time.
The third day of junior high was the day he and Jing An'an had arranged to meet his parents.
He and his parents had arranged it beforehand, but when he went to pick her up, her parents said she had gone to celebrate a classmate's birthday.
He asked where the birthday celebration was being held, and as soon as he entered the hotel private room, he saw that the person celebrating his birthday was actually one of her senior classmates whom he had met before.
The so-called tender feelings in the eyes of this senior are obvious even to a blind person.
When he went in, the candles had just been blown out, and everyone teased him, asking what wish the birthday boy had made.
The senior student, who was celebrating his birthday, stared intently at Jing An'an, looking as if he was about to confess his feelings.
Luckily he arrived in time, otherwise someone would have broken into the corner of the wall.
"Honey, isn't it over yet? Didn't we agree to go for a prenatal checkup today?" Xiang Hengxi walked over and put his arm around Jing An'an's shoulder, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone in the private room to hear.
"..." The lively atmosphere just moments ago suddenly fell silent.
Before Jing An'an could even utter "prenatal checkup...", this shameless guy silenced her with a passionate kiss.
Everyone in the private room stared wide-eyed, never expecting that Jing An'an, who was four or five years younger than everyone else, would have a boyfriend, and this boyfriend was so... enthusiastic.
"Sorry, we have to go now." After kissing Jing An'an until she was dizzy, Xiang Hengxi politely said goodbye to everyone in the private room and then took her out.
As soon as she stepped out of the private room, Jing An'an caught her breath and raised her hand to slap Xiang Hengxi.
Xiang Hengxi reacted quickly, grabbing her and dragging her out.
After shoving her into the car, he quickly got in as well, and then she was about to slap him again.
Xiang Hengxi grabbed her again, pinning her arms down, and said through gritted teeth, "Do you even remember what day it is today?"
“I never agreed to that from beginning to end. You just said it to yourself.” Jing An’an turned her head away, refusing to look at his face.
"Yes, not only am I talking to myself, but I'm also being delusional!" Xiang Hengxi grabbed her chin, turned her face back, and said coldly, "Meeting the parents is less important than your damn senior's birthday!"
Xiang Hengxi had initially been secretly pleased that she had marked the calendar with circles, but now he realized how ridiculous his joy had been.
