Chapter 313: Chapter 321 People get drunk on their own without the wine intoxicating them
This stinky tofu is not the traditional kind; it’s a type of fried tofu. If you want it to be stinky, you have to brush on so stinky sauce after frying it.
Su ngxin and Li Yifei each bought a bag, but Su ngxin’s bag did not co with stinky sauce; she was genuinely afraid she wouldn’t be able to stomach it.
Each of them held a bag of fried tofu in one hand and a toothpick in the other, strolling down the sidewalk, eating as they walked.
"This is really quite good," Su ngxin took a bite and imdiately praised it. The fried tofu was only average in taste, but it was her first ti eating street food while walking down the road, and that in itself was enough to make her happy. Plus, having Li Yifei’s company added a unique charm to the experience.
By this ti, Li Yifei had already eaten two pieces with the stinky sauce and laughed, "Do you want to try this? It tastes better than yours."
Su ngxin looked at Li Yifei; she could already sll the stinky sauce and couldn’t help but lightly cover her nose, saying, "Can you really eat this? I ..."
Li Yifei laughed heartily, "Do I sll now? Should I stand a bit further away from you?"
"That won’t be necessary; I’m not so delicate, but thinking about the taste of this in my mouth does put so pressure on ."
"Hehe, then I won’t force you. I’ll enjoy it myself," he said.
The two continued walking, Su ngxin nibbled at her own while watching Li Yifei eat, and the way he relished it made her ask again, "Is it really that tasty?"
"It really is good, and now there are only a few pieces left. If you want so, there’s still ti, otherwise, I’ll finish them all by myself soon," he said.
Su ngxin bit her lip and said, "Then give
a small piece, I’ll try it."
Li Yifei found Su ngxin’s behavior quite amusing, and quickly speared a small piece with a toothpick. Just as he was about to raise it, he realized that it was the toothpick he had used. To offer it to Su ngxin would be rather unsanitary. He was about to suggest that Su ngxin take a piece herself with a toothpick, but she had already grabbed his hand and placed the small piece of stinky tofu in her mouth.
Su ngxin had been hesitant about trying the stinky tofu, but she wanted to share more in common with Li Yifei, to have more shared likes and interests. So she had reluctantly decided to give it a try, but upon seeing Li Yifei about to feed her with his toothpick and sensing his hesitation, she feared he would ask her to eat by herself, so she eagerly grabbed his hand and ate the piece of stinky tofu.
It was all because she wanted to share a toothpick with Li Yifei, which led her to naturally overlook the stinkiness of the tofu.
Su ngxin might seem like an unattainable woman in typical circumstances, with a status and wealth envied and resented by countless won, but she was also sowhat pitiable. Just like falling in love with Li Yifei, she couldn’t easily express her feelings and had to use thods like this to enjoy closeness with him.
As the stinky tofu entered her mouth, a stench filled it, and she almost spat it out right away. But having shared a toothpick with Li Yifei, no matter how bad it tasted, she couldn’t bear to spit it out and stubbornly chewed a couple of tis.
After a couple of bites, she suddenly felt that the stench was not so unbearable anymore, and to her surprise, a different taste began to erge in her mouth. She smacked her lips, realizing that this taste was actually quite nice, and after carefully chewing a few more tis, she finally swallowed.
"Not bad at all, it’s really tasty. I want more," Su ngxin said, opening her mouth to Li Yifei.
Li Yifei watched Su ngxin’s reactions change from frowning to slowly relaxing and then savoring the taste. Now she was opening her mouth, waiting to be fed, which he found incredibly adorable. In his heart, Su ngxin seed like a mischievous little sister, and he naturally picked up a piece of stinky tofu and fed it into her mouth.
"Mmm... Delicious, delicious," Su ngxin mumbled her praises while chewing, and after finishing, she turned to Li Yifei asking for more.
Li Yifei quietly fed Su ngxin, piece by piece, feeling completely serene. The slight malice that had arisen from killing people had vanished entirely.
"Another piece," Su ngxin turned her head once again, waiting for Li Yifei to feed her.
"It’s all gone," Li Yifei showed her the empty package.
Instantly, Su ngxin pouted and complained, "I’ve hardly had a few pieces, and it’s all finished. It’s your fault for eating too fast."
"Haha, you’re the one who didn’t want to eat it at first."
"I don’t care; I still want to eat."
Li Yifei laughed, "Alright then, let’s go back and buy so more."
Su ngxin’s face lit up with a bright smile, and she naturally linked her arms through Li Yifei’s, cozying up as they walked back.
At this mont, Li Yifei didn’t feel there was anything inappropriate about Su ngxin clinging to his arm. He had already co to regard Su ngxin as a charming little sister, not as the most beautiful woman in Huaxia.
The two arrived at the stinky tofu stall, only to find the owner packing up; the stinky tofu had sold out. Su ngxin felt rather disappointed. Having an extra bag of stinky tofu for Li Yifei to feed her all the way ho would have been such a blissful experience.
"Let’s go. If you want to eat it, I’ll bring you here again tomorrow," Li Yifei said with a laugh as he patted Su ngxin’s hand.
Only then did Su ngxin reluctantly agree, "You’ve promised now, you have to bring
here tomorrow."
"No problem, let’s head back. We’ll have a candlelight... midnight snack at ho."
Su ngxin’s eyes lit up. "That’s right, we have a midnight snack at ho, let’s go."
Turning back, Su ngxin and Li Yifei chatted incessantly on the way ho, which was very unlike her usual composed deanor.
It was sothing Su ngxin had only just realized, that when with Li Yifei, acting a bit naive and childish made him take special care of her. She suddenly understood n had a strong desire to protect, and if a woman was too strong, it could diminish that desire, creating a gap between them.
Take Su Yiyi for instance, with her water-like gentleness, she particularly chard Li Yifei. In theory, Xu Yingying was superior in every way compared to Su Yiyi, yet Li Yifei liked her so much. And Su ngxin herself was even stronger than Xu Yingying, which ant the distance between her and Li Yifei was greater, so he was less casual with her.
Now that she understood this, Su ngxin naturally wanted to exploit it. As for acting childish, she could do it well if she put her mind to it. It wasn’t that she was being fake, but for the person she liked, she was willing to change.
Arriving at Li Yifei’s house, Su ngxin sat on the couch with her legs to the side, casually turning on the TV. "I’m not very hungry right now. Can we eat later and watch TV for a bit first?" she suggested.
Li Yifei agreed readily, sitting beside Su ngxin and lighting a cigarette.
Su ngxin seldom watched TV. She already knew more than what the Central Governnt broadcasted, so there was no need. Entertainnt programs often annoyed her, and soap operas felt too drawn-out and uninteresting, not to ntion a waste of her ti.
However, watching TV with Li Yifei today, she found that these ti-wasting activities could actually be quite fun.
"Keep watching, I’ll make a call," said Li Yifei after a while, standing up with his phone.
"Alright, go ahead," Su ngxin nodded, aware that Li Yifei would likely call Su Yiyi. She felt a bit sour but didn’t show it.
Li Yifei indeed called Su Yiyi, who was thrilled to pick up and showered him with sweet nothings, especially since they were alone. After talking for about half an hour, they ended the call reluctantly when Su Yiyi’s roommate returned.
When Li Yifei ca back, he was still smiling. Su ngxin teased, "Looks like you and Yiyi are really affectionate."
Li Yifei chuckled. "It’s not bad."
"I’m so envious. Co and watch TV with ," she beckoned.
Not until after ten o’clock did they heat up the food. Su ngxin lit candles on the table and turned off the lights in the room, filling it with a soft, flickering glow.
The candlelight danced, casting Su ngxin’s face in alternating light and shadow, shrouded in a mysterious aura.
Su ngxin’s beauty was enchantingly unique. Most won possess one standout trait, like Su Yiyi’s gentle allure, Xu Shanshan’s playful vivacity, Xu Yingying’s noble elegance, or Lin Qiong’s wild and stubborn character. Yet Su ngxin seed to embody all those traits, able to master any given aspect and even blend multiple traits together into sothing indescribable yet utterly enthralling.
Looking at Li Yifei, Su ngxin’s gaze grew infatuated. She found him so handso and manly, she wanted to throw herself into his arms and let him take liberties with her. But she knew she shouldn’t, as it might overwhelm him, possibly making this their last supper together.
So, she raised her glass with a flirtatious smile, "Yifei, in this romantic atmosphere, let
drink to you on Yiyi’s behalf."
Hearing Su ngxin say this, Li Yifei felt his distance with her greatly reduced, clinked glasses with her, and downed his wine.
Under the romance of candlelight, Su ngxin spoke softly; the wine was intoxicating. Li Yifei hadn’t drunk much, yet he found himself unknowingly drunk; truly inebriated. If the guys from the Flying Hawk Squad knew that less than a bottle of red wine had done this to him, they’d laugh their heads off.
Su ngxin was also drunk, happily inebriated by the atmosphere and the joy of sharing a candlelit dinner with Li
