Wife is Fierce, Don’t Mess With Her!-Chapter 862: Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao'er (34)
After they had ordered and the waiter took the menu away, it then occurred to Yu Bao’er to ask. “Oh yeah, Commander Huo, do you eat fish?”
Huo Yingcheng narrowed his eyes at her. “You’ve already brought me here. Don’t you think you’re asking that a little too late?”
Yu Bao’er was uneasy. “Err, sorry. I hadn’t thought so much at the time. You do eat fish, don’t you?”
She started worrying. Huo Yingcheng smiled. “Do you think that I would follow you in if I didn’t eat fish?”
Yu Bao’er relaxed upon hearing that.
She was worried that she hadn’t considered his dietary preferences/restrictions.
“Good to hear. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here. The signboard here hasn’t changed, but the renovation is vastly different. I don’t know if the food tastes the same as before.”
Yu Bao’er started arranging her bowl and chopsticks. After some thought, she asked, “What do you want to drink?”
Huo Yingcheng shook his head.
Other than smoking, he didn’t drink alcohol.
He didn’t like drinking alcohol during meals.
After Huo Yingcheng shook his head, Yu Bao’er quietly arranged her bowl and chopsticks.
All of a sudden, with neither of them speaking, the atmosphere turned a tad awkward.
Until the fish was served.
The familiar aroma of fish emanated through the air, making Yu Bao’er raise a brow. “Smells so fragrant! It’s this smell!”
It was the same fragrance as she remembered. Yu Bao’er was delighted.
After the fish dishes were served, she raised her bowl and swallowed her saliva. Her manner made Huo Yingcheng laugh. “Judging from the way you look, people who don’t know better might think you’ve never eaten in eight lifetimes.”
“Hmph!”
Yu Bao’er scoffed, then picked up a fish slice and started to eat.
The taste was similar to what she was used to eating. Eating it made her feel incredibly blissful.
“I’m surprised this restaurant is still around. I’ve got to come here more often. It’s just that it’s too far. Add to the fact that there’s an ongoing redevelopment here, I thought that this shop was no longer in business. That’s why I haven’t been here in a long time. I was just trying my luck today. Unexpectedly it’s still here.”
Yu Bao’er spoke as she ate.
Huo Yingcheng smiled faintly. “So wouldn’t you have made a wasted trip if they had yet to reopen for business?”
“Since we now know that’s not the case, let’s not talk about that.”
With cheeks puffed up with food, Yu Bao’er picked up tissue to wipe the traces of food off the corner of her mouth.
Though Huo Yingcheng’s manner of eating wasn’t super elegant, one could tell that he was someone fond of cleanliness. Unlike Yu Bao’er who had gravy seeping from her mouth.
Huo Yingcheng took a few bites before nodding and praising. “Tastes pretty good indeed. But it’s too spicy. I don’t think I’ll be able to eat too much of it.”
“You should eat less since you can’t eat spicy food. I’ll be responsible for finishing it.”
Yu Bao’er declared generously. But most importantly, there was a lot of food…
Huo Yingcheng was taken aback. “You can finish all this?”
Yu Bao’er looked, and said with less confidence this time, “Maybe…”
Huo Yingcheng: “…”
But even this ‘maybe’ was enough to make Huo Yingcheng think more highly of her now.
The portions were rather big, with one basin of fish being sufficient for four to five people.
And Yu Bao’er said she could finish it by herself.
Huo Yingcheng couldn’t help sighing with emotion in his heart: What a true warrior!
