However, she had still burnt her tongue.
It hurt like hell.
Yan Zhiqing was in so much pain that she was still breathing deeply.
But she didnât dare to open her mouth too widely.
Wei Wucai sighed helplessly and said, âOpen your mouth. Let me check.â
Her mouth wasnât opened widely, so it was hard to see her tongue. When Yan Zhiqing heard thisâ¦
When Yan Zhiqing heard what Wei Wucai said, she shut her mouth tightly instead.
She even covered her mouth with her hand.
Wei Wucai stared at her. He felt so helpless. âI asked you to open your mouth. Why did you close your mouth instead?â
Yan Zhiqing shook her head and answered, âThe insides of my mouth donât look pretty.â
She had only ever endured her embarrassment and opened her mouth widely when she was at the dentist.
âIs now the time to care about whether the insides of your mouth look pretty?â Wei Wucai said helplessly. âJust let me see how badly you burnt your tongue.â
Yan Zhiqing shook her head in a stubborn manner. âSo what if you look at my tongue? Itâs not going to make the pain go away.â
Wei Wucai was speechless.
She really made him feel so angry that he barely contained his temper.
Wei Wucai couldnât help but nag, âWhy were you in such a rush? You took a piece of cabbage from the boiling hot soup when you know how hot it is! Instead of blowing on it first, you shoved it into your mouth. Are you that hungry? You are an adult. How can you not know such basic knowledge?â
Yan Zhiqing retracted her head. She thought to herself, ever since she had gotten to know Wei Wucai better, she realized that Wei Wucai was perfect in every way, except that he nagged too much.
He was too good at lecturing people.
Once he started lecturing, he wouldnât stop for a while.
âOf course I know that!â Yan Zhiqing mumbled. âIt was becauseâ¦â
âBecause of what?â Wei Wucai hastily asked when he saw that she stopped halfway through her sentence.
It was because he had been staring at her and it made her feel very guilty. When she tried to hide this remorseful feeling, she became nervous and forgot that the food was hot.
If he hadnât given her so much pressure, she wouldnât have been nervous. She wouldnât have tried to hide this nervousness by pretending to be busy eating, which resulted in her being burnt.
However, although Yan Zhiqing didnât say a word about this, her facial expression had disclosed her every thought.
After all, Yan Zhiqing had been described by Wei Wucai as someone who could never hide any secrets and feelings from people she trusted.
Her face projected everything.
And now, Wei Wucai could tell what Yan Zhiqing was thinking.
Wei Wucai was so angry that he started laughing.
So she got burnt because she felt guilty, but she then blamed him for her tongue being burnt.
This was trulyâ¦
This girl was being very unreasonable!
âOh my! I am hungry. I am not full yet!â Yan Zhiqing tried to change the topic. âI have been feeling hungry for a long time. I was suffering.â
When Wei Wucai saw that she was adamant not to show him her tongueâ¦
He had no choice but to forget about it.
He went back to his seat and instructed Yan Zhiqing, âYou better be more careful this time. Donât burn yourself.â
âI got it,â Yan Zhiqing answered.
When she took more food, she did remember to blow on it.
âEat slowly. Itâs late now. If you eat too fast, thereâs a high chance you will suffer from indigestion and you wonât be able to sleep,â Wei Wucai said.
âOkay.â Yan Zhiqing nodded while looking down.
She thought about how she had stopped Wei Wucai from lecturing her.
However, obviously, she couldnât stop him from nagging. He found another topic to nag about.
âBut can you eat so much at night?â Wei Wucai asked.
Yan Zhiqing thought Wei Wucai was worried that she might not sleep well after eating so much.
