Chapter 65 - 066: Cooking for You (6)
Because of one sentence from Qin Mobai, Lou Xi immediately became spirited!
"This was made by Young Master Qin, even if it’s poison I’ll eat it!" After saying that, Lou Xi picked up the chopsticks and grabbed some into her bowl, though it really looked quite unappetizing.
Qin Mobai already reached out trying to take away Lou Xi’s chopsticks, but she quickly took a bite of the noodles.
Instantly, his hand stopped mid-air, for a moment unsure whether to continue trying to take her chopsticks or withdraw his hand.
A bowl of noodles that didn’t resemble noodles, yet Lou Xi could still eat it.
"Actually, it’s not that bad!" Lou Xi looked like she was eating with relish, but it was unclear whether she truly found it tasty or was just pretending.
"Really?" Qin Mobai did not believe it one bit and picked up the chopsticks to try it himself.
Lou Xi hurriedly grabbed the entire bowl, cradling it in her arms, "No, you can’t eat it!"
"I made it, can’t I eat it?"
"Because..." Lou Xi quickly took several bites, trying to eat it all at once, "Because I’m really hungry, if you eat it I won’t be full!"
She was making excuses.
"I just want to taste." For some reason, Qin Mobai had a little bit of confidence in his culinary skills, especially seeing Lou Xi eating so happily.
"No means no!" So, Lou Xi ate even faster, taking big bites, hardly chewing, and swallowing directly.
Qin Mobai had never seen a girl eating with such a voracious appetite, every young lady in front of him would chew slowly, afraid to make a fool of themselves.
This Lou Xi, was ridiculously naive.
"Eat slowly, I won’t fight you for it." Qin Mobai sat in the chair, looking deeply at Lou Xi.
Seeing he really wasn’t going to fight her, Lou Xi slowed down and sat at the table to eat.
But with such a big bowl, actually finishing it would be overdoing it!
Just as she was lost in thought, Qin Mobai suddenly used the chopsticks to take some noodles and put them in his mouth.
Then, Lou Xi felt time stood still.
Qin Mobai’s face was expressionless, only after a long time he swallowed the noodles.
Silence.
Most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.
Only to see Qin Mobai slowly speak, "Don’t eat it, I’ll call for takeout."
Lou Xi slowly put down the chopsticks, took a hearty gulp of water because... it was too salty!
She wondered if he had just emptied the salt shaker in it.
Qin Mobai took out his phone to call for takeout, then sat calmly in the chair, looking straight at Lou Xi.
"Lou Xi."
"Hmm."
"In the future, if you don’t like something, just say it, I won’t force you."
"I don’t dislike it." Lou Xi answered directly, "It’s the first time you cooked noodles for me, if I complained that would be the worst. Moreover, we can’t waste food."
She made a valid point, but seeing Qin Mobai’s increasingly deep gaze, she felt a bit uneasy.
"Don’t do that again." He said in a calm voice.
"Huh? You don’t like it?" Lou Xi felt she might have done something wrong, making Qin Mobai unhappy.
Qin Mobai’s sharp features were exceptionally handsome, he said, "You are very likable like this, don’t act this way towards others. Especially towards men, understand?"
"Oh..." Lou Xi nodded but it was after a while she came to her senses, looking at Qin Mobai in surprise, "Young Master Qin, you said... likable?"
Do you find it likable too?
