Xie Yunzhou’s eyes were dark, and his thin lips were smiling.
She clearly should not need to be afraid.
However, for some reason, Shi Xi still felt a little uneasy.
“What are you thinking about?” Xie Yunzhou lowered his cold eyes and stared straight into the girl’s eyes.
However, Shi Xi was held in his arms and could not leave.
She avoided his gaze with her deer-like eyes. “No, I’m not thinking about anything.”
“You think I did it?”
Shi Xi did not answer.
She had such a guess in her heart.
“If I say that I didn’t do it, will you believe me?” Xie Yunzhou asked softly.
“I…” Shi Xi looked up, her gaze passing over Xie Yunzhou’s shoulder. “The red braised pork seems to be burning.”
Xie Yunzhou pressed down on the girl’s waist, not allowing her to move. “You don’t believe me?”
Shi Xi’s eyes curved. “Of course I believe you. You’re my boyfriend.”
If you want to live, you have to learn to lie.
Xie Yunzhou covered the girl’s eyes.
Why was Xi Xi afraid of him?
*
Shi Xi’s heart raced.
It wasn’t because she was moved, but because she was afraid.
Should she make a move?
She should be able to defeat Xie Yunzhou, right?
What if Xie Yunzhou had a gun?
What if there were bodyguards armed with guns outside?
Just as Shi Xi’s palms were sweating and she was feeling anxious from waiting…
A gentle kiss fell.
Xie Yunzhou gently kissed the girl’s forehead. “Be good, go outside and wait for dinner.”
“Alright.” Shi Xi walked out stiffly.
Sitting down in the dining room, Shi Xi panted as if she had just survived a disaster.
The pressure Xie Yunzhou brought was too heavy.
Especially when she could clearly resist, but she seemed to be trapped in the oppression of fate.
Xie Yunzhou clearly liked her so much that he would never throw her into the sea.
Besides, she wouldn’t be so silly as to wait to be thrown away.
It was all because of the nightmare she had a while ago.
Shi Xi let out a breath and began to set up the cutlery.
Hua Ruoling’s evil deeds had their retribution.
What was there to worry about?
Shi Xi set up the cutlery and Xie Yunzhou happened to bring out the dishes.
“I’ll get the rice.” Shi Xi scooped their food.
Then, the table fell silent again.
Four dishes and one soup.
The bitter gourd scrambled egg seemed out of place among the meat dishes.
Shi Xi also put on a bitter face and began to eat bitter gourd.
It was too unpalatable.
It was bitter and astringent.
Shi Xi’s little face scrunched up into a ball. She chewed twice and quickly swallowed it.
It was too disgusting!
Why was there such an anti-human food in the world?
The first person to eat bitter gourd, why did they think bitter gourd was edible?
Shi Xi quickly ate a piece of red braised pork to suppress the bitterness.
Then, she ate a piece of bitter gourd.
It tasted terrible.
Shi Xi tried her best not to let the tip of her tongue touch the bitter gourd. She chewed it quickly and swallowed it.
Xie Yunzhou was still sulking at first, but when he saw Shi Xi punishing herself, he could not help but laugh. “If you don’t like it, don’t force yourself to eat it.”
“No, you’ve already made it.” Shi Xi endured the pain and picked up another piece.
Seeing Xie Yunzhou’s smiling face, Shi Xi placed the bitter gourd into his bowl. “You eat too.”
Xie Yunzhou ate it without batting an eyelid.
“Don’t you think it’s bitter?”
“It’s alright, I can endure hardship.”
Shi Xi thought for two seconds to see if there was any other meaning behind this.
“Have some lotus seed soup.” Xie Yunzhou scooped a small bowl for Shi Xi. “There’s rock sugar in it.”
“That’s great.” Shi Xi took a big gulp.
She still preferred sweetness.
Xie Yunzhou was in a good mood as he watched Shi Xi finish her meal with a frown on her face.
She clearly couldn’t bear the hardship, but she still insisted on it.
It was extremely cute..
