"Oh, you can have the fish-flavored pork!"
Hearing Chu Mengyao's comment, Chen Yushu tried a bite and found it was indeed too sweet.
She was also on a diet lately and couldn't eat sweet things, so she pushed the entire plate toward Lin Yi.
Lin Yi didn't mind at all—sour or sweet, as long as he could eat meat!
Having been busy all day without eating anything, Lin Yi accepted the plate and started eating with big bites.
The taste was really good. Much better than the widow Wang's diner at the edge of the village. The color combinations, ingredients—everything was much more refined than Wang's sweet and sour pork.
This rich girl was a bit too spoiled, wasn't she?
Chu Mengyao put a piece of boiled fish in her mouth, and after tasting it, her face immediately turned bright red. She panted while fanning around her mouth with her small hand:
"Spicy! But it feels good. Water? Where's the water?"
Looking around, she spotted the orange juice on the table. Chu Mengyao grabbed it and started drinking straight from the bottle, gulping down more than half before setting it down: "Ah, that's better!"
Chen Yushu looked at Lin Yi, then at the orange juice bottle on the table, and finally at Chu Mengyao's lips, her face showing disbelief.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi stared blankly at Chu Mengyao, thinking city girls were really open-minded. Drinking from the same bottle he'd used—so bold and intense!
Chu Mengyao was enjoying her meal and drink when she noticed Chen Yushu staring at her with a strange expression, making her curious:
"Shu, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Oh... nothing..."
Chen Yushu sighed, not having the courage to tell Chu Mengyao the truth. Knowing Chu Mengyao's personality... she had no idea what she might do.
"If it's nothing, why are you staring at me?"
Chu Mengyao grew more curious, shook her head, and put another piece of boiled fish in her mouth. Once again unable to handle the spiciness, she grabbed the orange juice bottle and started drinking...
"Don't—"
Chen Yushu tried to stop her, but it was too late. She could only swallow her words.
"Don't what? Shu, what are you trying to say? What's wrong with you? You're acting weird."
Chu Mengyao set down the bottle and wiped her mouth while frowning at Chen Yushu.
"Well... maybe I shouldn't say anything..."
Seeing Chu Mengyao's clueless expression, Chen Yushu felt both sympathy and amusement.
The funniest part was that Chu Mengyao had drunk from Lin Yi's bottle twice... wasn't once enough?
"Shu, you're being all mysterious too... If something's wrong, just tell me!"
Chu Mengyao got a bit annoyed. What was this, being so secretive?
Under Chu Mengyao's persistent questioning, Chen Yushu had no choice but to point at the nearly empty orange juice bottle:
"That drink... that drink..."
"What about the drink?"
Chu Mengyao frowned: "I just drank your drink, didn't I? What's the problem? There are plenty more in the fridge. If you want some, I'll get you a new one. Why make such a big deal about it?"
Seeing that Chu Mengyao still hadn't figured it out, Chen Yushu couldn't help bursting into laughter:
"Hahaha... I can't take it, I'm dying of laughter... Yaoyao, you still haven't realized? That drink isn't mine..."
"Not yours? What do you mean..."
Midway through her sentence, Chu Mengyao seemed to realize something. She looked at Lin Yi, and her expression changed dramatically: "You were drinking this?"
Lin Yi nodded innocently, thinking to himself that he'd misunderstood. He'd thought city girls were open-minded, but it turned out he was wrong...
"Ugh!"
Chu Mengyao's face instantly turned pale. She stared wide-eyed, pointing at Lin Yi, trying to say something but unable to speak. Finally, she covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom.
"Blegh..."
The sound of dry heaving immediately came from the bathroom. Chen Yushu had initially felt some schadenfreude, but seeing Chu Mengyao's extreme reaction, she hurried after her.
"Yaoyao... I said I didn't want to tell you, but you forced me to..."
Chen Yushu looked at Chu Mengyao apologetically with a pained expression.
"You should have told me sooner... blegh..."
Chu Mengyao glared at Chen Yushu, then started dry heaving at the sink again...
"Oh my, could it be... such a quick reaction?"
Chen Yushu watched Chu Mengyao curiously and muttered to herself: "Mom said you can't get pregnant just from kissing!"
Chu Mengyao had just started to calm down when Chen Yushu's words made her feel nauseous again!
Thinking about having an indirect kiss with that Lin Yi guy made tears start falling!
Her first kiss, carefully protected for eighteen years, lost in such a way?
Feeling dizzy and about to collapse, Chu Mengyao glared at Chen Yushu resentfully: "Of course you can't get pregnant! Don't you have any basic physiology knowledge?"
"I don't, but do you?"
Chen Yushu got annoyed too. You had an indirect kiss with Lin Yi by accident—what does that have to do with me?
Already hurt enough, seeing Chen Yushu still acting like she was enjoying others' misfortune, Chu Mengyao gritted her teeth and suddenly hugged Chen Yushu, pressing her lips against Chen Yushu's.
"Smack!"
After one kiss, Chu Mengyao released Chen Yushu and said resentfully: "That's what you get for enjoying my misfortune. Now you're part of it too!"
"Ah! Yaoyao, what are you doing!"
Chen Yushu, suddenly kissed, finally understood Chu Mengyao's malicious plan. Now she was dragged into it too!
But Chen Yushu felt somewhat relieved inside. She told herself that even if Lin Yi's saliva had been on Yaoyao's lips from that bottle, she'd spit it all out just now, so surely none got on her lips!
Right, definitely none!
Thinking this way, Chen Yushu felt a bit better. Watching Chu Mengyao rinse her mouth repeatedly, she also grabbed a cup and rinsed for show.
After a long time, Chu Mengyao finally calmed down.
She knew that no matter how much she rinsed until her lips were raw, it was too late. What had happened had happened. There was no Doraemon's time machine in reality—no way to start over.
But toward Lin Yi, she was completely furious. Having this person live in her villa had been a huge mistake!
Just moments ago, Chu Mengyao had felt the urge to kill Lin Yi—a definite urge. If there had been a knife then, she would have stabbed it into his chest without hesitation.
But now, she didn't even have the strength to curse at him.
Chu Mengyao felt like all her energy had been drained. Looking at the delicious dishes on the table and Lin Yi sitting there looking bewildered, she moved her lips but couldn't say anything. She stumbled upstairs...
