Then she realized… all were hot foods! They were all fried, stir-fried, or super spicy foods.

None of them were suitable for Mo Xiaomeng"s consumption.

Just then, after finis.h.i.+ng up his business, Yin Shaojie came downstairs and asked, "What are you guys talking about?"

"We are discussing what to eat for dinner," Ye Sijue said, glancing at Mu Xiaoxiao.

Yin Shaojie said, "Eat something that is not hot."

Mo Xiaomeng also nodded. "Alright then. Xiaoxiao, didn"t you say that you haven"t fully recovered?"

Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.

It was three versus one. She lost.

Mu Xiaoxiao totally felt like crying. She just wanted to eat something nice. Why was it so difficult!

She glared at Yin Shaojie plaintively.

Yin Shaojie walked up to her and stroked her little head. "When you are completely recovered, you can eat whatever you want."

Mu Xiaoxiao felt a great urge to say that she was already completely recovered!

However, since Mo Xiaomeng was having excessive internal heat and couldn"t eat things that were too hot, she couldn"t just eat while she watched, right? She certainly couldn"t do that.

Han Qiqing came straight to the Yin residence after school.

She came in with Song s.h.i.+jun. Smelling the fragrance in the air, they happily went to the dining room.

"Smells good! What"s there to eat?"

Mu Xiaoxiao rushed them, saying, "We are all starved to death waiting for you guys. Hurry up and sit down."

Forgetting about Song s.h.i.+jun, Han Qiqing quickly took a seat, picked up the chopsticks and was prepared to grab some food. But after taking a look at the dishes, the hands paused.

"Why… are they all light dishes?"

She was also someone who preferred stronger flavors, so upon seeing all the lighter dishes, her appet.i.te was halved.

Mu Xiaoxiao sn.i.g.g.e.red. You"re here to suffer with me!

"Come on. Have some soup first."

Mu Xiaoxiao gestured to the helper to serve soup for everyone.

Han Qiqing took a sip of the rich herbal chicken soup. It tasted nice, but…

"Xiaoxiao, why do I have the feeling that you asked me to join you only to make me suffer?"

Mu Xiaoxiao grinned. Though she didn"t nod, her expression had already said everything.

She quickly pushed the blame to Shaojie, pointing at him as she said, "It"s all this young master"s fault. At first, I wanted to have barbecue so I invited you two here as well. But then, he told us that we can"t barbecue."

Han Qiqing wailed in anguish, "Argh, stop talking about barbecuing. Mentioning it is making me want to eat it!"

Because of the limitations at the previous barbecue when they were camping, it wasn"t quite satisfying. So they had agreed to find some time to have a barbecue again at her place.

Mo Xiaomeng said apologetically, "I"m sorry, it"s because I"m getting too hot that Xiaoxiao tried to accommodate me and…"

"You"re getting hot?" Han Qiqing asked with concern.

Mo Xiaomeng nodded. "It"s just a little bit. It"s not very serious."

Han Qiqing was relieved. "That"s good then. Perhaps you are still not acclimatized. After all, we have a different diet here in China. If you are only affected a little by the food here, you should consider yourself lucky."

"Yeah, I think so too," Mo Xiaomeng laughed. After these few days of hanging out together, she had grown fond of Han Qiqing. Han Qiqing was a straightforward and cheerful girl, one who cared about her friends, and one worth making friends with..

"When Xiaoxiao and you are both recovered, let"s go barbecue again then, at my house! My family has a big garden. We"ll have a barbecue there, alright?"

"Okay."

Han Qiqing stopped complaining about the dishes, and the group happily enjoyed the meal.
