Xie Yunzhou's dark eyes were deep, and his thin lips held a slight smile.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
But for some reason, Shi Xi still felt uneasy.
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Yunzhou lowered his cold eyes and stared directly into the girl's eyes.
But Shi Xi was held tightly in his arms and couldn't leave.
Her bright, deer-like eyes darted away from his gaze. "No, I wasn't thinking about anything."
Xie Yunzhou: "You think I did it?"
Shi Xi did not answer.
She had this suspicion in her mind.
"If I say I didn't do it, will you believe me?" Xie Yunzhou asked in a low voice.
“I…” Shi Xi looked up, her gaze passing over Xie Yunzhou’s shoulder, “The braised pork looks like it’s going to burn.”
Xie Yunzhou held the girl's waist, preventing her from moving. "You don't believe me?"
Shi Xi smiled and said, "Of course I believe you. You're my boyfriend."
If you want to stay alive, you have to learn to lie.
Xie Yunzhou reached out and covered the girl's eyes.
Why is Xixi afraid of him?
*
Shi Xi's heart raced.
It wasn't because I was attracted, it was because I was afraid.
Shall we take action?
She should be able to beat Xie Yunzhou, right?
What if Xie Yunzhou has a gun?
What if there are armed bodyguards everywhere outside?
Just as Shi Xi's palms were sweating and she was getting impatient,
A gentle kiss landed.
Xie Yunzhou gently kissed the girl's forehead. "Be good, go outside and wait for dinner."
"Okay." Shi Xi walked out stiffly.
Sitting down in the restaurant, Shi Xi was panting, as if she had just survived a disaster.
The pressure from Xie Yunzhou was too great.
In particular, she could clearly resist, yet she seemed to be trapped in a sense of oppression and fate.
Xie Yunzhou clearly likes her so much, there's no way he would throw her into the sea.
Moreover, she wouldn't be foolish enough to just wait to be thrown away.
It's all because of the nightmare I had a while ago.
Shi Xi let out a breath and began setting out the tableware.
Hua Ruoling is reaping what she sowed.
What does she have to worry about?
Shi Xi set out the tableware, and Xie Yunzhou just brought out the dishes.
"I'll serve the rice." Shi Xi served rice for both of them.
Then silence fell over the table again.
Four dishes and one soup.
Stir-fried bitter melon with eggs stands out awkwardly among the meat dishes.
Shi Xi also wore a bitter expression and started eating bitter melon.
It tastes awful.
It was both bitter and astringent.
Shi Xi's little face scrunched up, and she quickly swallowed after chewing twice.
This tastes awful!
Why do such inhumane foods exist in the world?
Why did the first person to eat bitter melon think it was edible?
Shi Xi quickly ate a piece of braised pork to suppress the bitterness.
Then, eat a piece of bitter melon.
Ugh, it tastes awful.
Shi Xi tried her best not to let the tip of her tongue touch the bitter melon, chewed it quickly a few times, and swallowed it.
Xie Yunzhou was still sulking, but when he saw Shi Xi punishing herself like this, he couldn't help but laugh. "If you don't like it, don't force yourself to eat it."
"No, you've already done it." Shi Xi endured the bitterness and picked up another piece.
Seeing Xie Yunzhou's smiling face, Shi Xi put the bitter melon in his bowl, "You eat some too."
Xie Yunzhou ate it without changing his expression.
Shi Xi: "Don't you find it bitter?"
Xie Yunzhou: "It's alright, I can endure hardship."
Shi Xi thought for two seconds, wondering if there was any other meaning behind this.
"Have some lotus seed soup." Xie Yunzhou ladled a small bowl for Shi Xi. "It has rock sugar in it."
"Great!" Shi Xi took a big gulp.
She still prefers sweets.
Xie Yunzhou was in a good mood, watching Shi Xi finish her meal with a scrunched-up face.
They clearly can't endure hardship, but they still insist on doing it.
So cute!
