Chapter 384 - Chapter 384 Chapter 384 To Make You Worry about Me

Chapter 384: Chapter 384: To Make You Worry about Me Chapter 384: Chapter 384: To Make You Worry about Me What will it take for you to stop being angry?

Shen Zhaozhao really hadn’t thought it through.

“So no matter what I ask for, you’ll agree?”

“Mm,” Sheng Chuyi said, “as long as it’s your request, I’ll agree to it.”

Shen Zhaozhao: “Fine, then I want you to go eat hot pot with me tomorrow.” There’s nothing a hot pot meal can’t solve, and if one isn’t enough, then two.

Sheng Chuyi was stunned, not expecting her request to be so simple, then smiled and said, “Okay!”

“But you have to eat spicy with me,” Shen Zhaozhao quickly added.

“Okay!”

Only then did Shen Zhaozhao’s temper completely dissipate.

The next day, the two of them went to a hot pot restaurant by the school entrance.

When choosing the broth, Shen Zhaozhao went straight for extra spicy.

By the time the fiery red broth was served, thick with chillies and spicy oil floating on top, it looked intensely spicy.

Shen Zhaozhao felt somewhat guilty and glanced up at Sheng Chuyi across the table, “If you really can’t eat it, forget it!”

“I promised I’d accompany you,” said Sheng Chuyi calmly, as he dunked the ingredients into the boiling broth before him.

As the broth bubbled, the aroma of chillies pierced straight into the nose.

Shen Zhaozhao’s attention was quickly diverted, focusing intently on the ingredients in the pot.

“Sss–so spicy, so satisfying!”

Duck blood, tripe, fatty beef, shrimp paste, lamb rolls, lotus root slices… stirred into a sauce mix with sesame oil, green onion, garlic paste, and little chillies before being eaten.

Shen Zhaozhao felt her life was instantly complete.

Shen Zhaozhao ate with great gusto, but the complexion on the opposite Sheng Chuyi’s face wasn’t looking so good.

Although he didn’t eat much, a fine layer of sweat had begun beading on his forehead.

The corners of his eyes were slightly red, and his lips were several shades redder than usual.

It made his face appear exceptionally pale.

Shen Zhaozhao noticed something was off about his color and asked hastily, “What’s wrong with you? Is your stomach upset?” As she spoke, she got up to pour him a cup of tea.

“I’m fine!” Sheng Chuyi said.

“What do you mean fine.” His face was so pale, how could he be fine?

Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help but feel a twinge of annoyance on her face. It was all her own childishness; she knew he couldn’t handle spicy and still deliberately chose such a spicy broth.

Amidst the annoyance, she couldn’t help but feel angry as well, staring at the person opposite her and saying, “Sheng Chuyi, are you stupid? If you can’t eat it, why force yourself? Didn’t I say if you can’t eat it, don’t, who asked you to tough it out?”

Sheng Chuyi raised the cup of tea before him and drank it down. The cooled tea soothed the fiery sensation in his mouth and stomach, making his face look a bit better as he said, “I’m really fine, I’ll get used to it after eating it a few more times.”

Shen Zhaozhao’s anger was suddenly stuck in her throat, and after a long moment, she blurted out, “Who asked you to get used to it!”

Seeing her anger subsided, Sheng Chuyi smiled and said, “I wanted to eat with you. Didn’t you say, when two people eat hot pot together, the happiness doubles?”

After a pause, he looked at her, “Not angry anymore, right?”

“Who said I’m not angry? I’m very angry right now, even angrier,” Shen Zhaozhao glared at him, huffing in annoyance.

Angry at him, even more angry at herself.

She knew the biggest problem lay with herself; if it weren’t for her insistence on the spicy broth, he wouldn’t have forced himself to accommodate her.

Then she heard Sheng Chuyi soften his voice, coaxing, “It’s my fault. Actually, I had another reason for doing it, which was to make you worry about me.”
