Feng Shengxuan was depressed. “Who wants to eat with you? I never eat from other people’s bowls.”
Hearing those harsh words, Xiao Shenbin shrugged, indicating that he did not care. He simply started to eat the congee.
Honestly, he did not want Feng Shengxuan to eat what was in his bowl either.
The congee tasted even better than how it smelled. Seeing that Feng Shengxuan was enjoying it, Bai Liyue could not help but say, “Your stomach is not well. Eat slowly, it’s hot.”
Hearing Bai Liyue’s concern, Feng Shengxuan’s gloomy mood finally brightened.
After that, the waitress came to their table and roughly set down several bags.
“Two chicken b.r.e.a.s.t.s and three starch jelly buns.”
Feng Shengxuan frowned so deeply his mouth looked like the curving bend of a river. Although he had admitted that the congee here was delicious, was this ‘service with a smile’ not a little too crude?
Seeing the red oil dripping onto the table, Feng Shengxuan felt his appet.i.te disappear.
Bai Liyue took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the grease off the table.
She did it subconsciously, but it made the two men beside her feel different.
Xiao Shenbin’s eyes darkened slightly before he continued to eat his congee silently.
As for Feng Shengxuan, he instantly felt smug.
At least Bai Liyue was being tactful. It was her honor for a big boss like him to accompany her to dinner!
Fortunately, Feng Shengxuan did not say that out loud, all thanks to his EQ that was so low he had no friends. Otherwise, Bai Liyue would really not mind shoving the blame back onto his handsome face.
“Eat. I ordered you a chicken and a starch jelly.”
Feng Shengxuan frowned as he looked at the chicken salad and starch jelly in the white steamed bun, as well as the starch jelly in the other white steamed bun. It looked like it had been fried in oil and was inedible. He frowned and coyly asked, “Is this food for humans?”
Luckily, it was noisy around them and they were sitting in a corner. Otherwise, Feng Shengxuan’s mouth would definitely incur public anger.
Bai Liyue looked at him. If this was the past, she would definitely tell Feng Shengxuan that this was a trendy food right now. However, now… he could go ahead and do whatever he wanted.
Picking up one of the buns filled with starch jelly, she pursed her lips, opened her mouth as wide as she could, and bit down.
Feng Shengxuan’s hearing was very good. He only heard a ‘crack’ before a part of the fried white bun shattered as Bai Liyue bit into it. It looked like one of those cripsy pancakes made by Chi Zeyao.
The white and tender starch jelly mixed with a smearing of gravy that had burst from Bai Liyue’s lips. Xiao Shenbin had already taken out a tissue and brought it to her chin.
This was also Bai Liyue’s first time eating such a fried bun. She had thought it would not taste be too good, but who knew that her pupils would be contracting after taking a single bite?
Due to the large amount of starch jelly that had entered her mouth, some immediately leaked out. She did not even have the time to praise how good the bun was and how it was worthy of being the most favored trendy food by influencers on the internet. It was simply so delicious it was bursting with flavor. The soup that escaped drowned out her words.
Fortunately, Xiao Shenbin handed her a tissue, or she would have made a fool of herself today.
Feng Shengxuan looked at the tissue Xiao Shenbin had handed over and felt uncomfortable. He took out many handkerchiefs from the paper bag and waited for Bai Liyue to press the piece of tissue to her mouth before leaning over the table.. Then, he placed the tissues around her collar, forming a bib around her.
