Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Wanting to Share a Meal with Mo Ran

She had hoped to enjoy a relaxed evening, but now, her mood had become even more awkward and uncomfortable.

"You recommend something for me to eat first," Gu Yixuan said, noticing her change in demeanor and breaking the silence between them.

Right next to them, a stall was selling hot and sour noodles and milk tea. Mo Ran pointed at the stall and said, "Let’s go have some hot and sour noodles."

She pulled Gu Yixuan over, found a place to sit, and called out to the owner, "Boss, two servings of hot and sour noodles and two milk teas. What flavor of milk tea would you like?"

The last question was directed at Gu Yixuan.

"Just one serving of the hot and sour noodles and one milk tea will do," Gu Yixuan replied.

"Aren’t you going to eat?"

"No," he shook his head.

Mo Ran secretly pursed her lips; it was he who had asked her to recommend something to eat, but now that she had, he didn’t want to eat it. It was quite disappointing.

After ordering one serving of hot and sour noodles and a cup of strawberry milk tea, Mo Ran asked him again, "Are you sure you’re not going to eat?"

"Not eating," Gu Yixuan still shook his head.

"Then I’ll eat," Mo Ran said, no longer paying attention to him and starting to eat on her own. The hot and sour noodles were spicy, and after just a small bite, she stopped eating and quickly started sipping her milk tea.

Gu Yixuan remembered she couldn’t handle spicy food and frowned, "Why would you eat it if you can’t handle spicy food?"

After taking a few sips of her milk tea, Mo Ran mumbled, "Didn’t you ask me to recommend something to you?"

"You could have recommended something else."

"The hot and sour noodles are delicious; you really should try them. Even though I can’t handle spicy food, I occasionally take a bite. It tastes good," she said, the typical case of a repeat offender.

Gu Yixuan smiled and said, "Alright, I’ll try a bite, otherwise it wouldn’t do justice to your effort."

Actually, his intention in asking for only one serving wasn’t because he didn’t want to eat, but because he wanted to share one serving with Mo Ran.

Gu Yixuan picked up the chopsticks Mo Ran had used and scooped up some hot and sour noodles into his mouth.

"Wait..." Mo Ran couldn’t stop him in time; he had already swallowed the bite.

He was eating something she had already eaten; could it be that he wasn’t afraid of germs?

Mo Ran’s face reddened slightly, "How is it? Is it good?"

Gu Yixuan took another bite before answering her, "It’s very spicy."

"Are you also cautious about eating spicy food?" Mo Ran was somewhat surprised. He nodded, his expression calm, showing no sign of being affected by the spice.

"Give me a sip," he snatched the milk tea from Mo Ran’s hands and took several deep sips.

Mo Ran’s face reddened even more, "That’s... I drank from that..."
