Chapter 30 (2/2)
Jiang Yang responded mercilessly: ”That's right!”
Qin Xu was surprised and, seeing that he didn't look like he was joking around, he felt a little wronged. Usually he wouldn't cook for someone else even if they begged them but now that he took the initiative to offer to cook for Jiang Yang, he actually rejected it?
In the end, he brought naïve Jiang Yang to the Sichuan restaurant downstairs and ordered a bunch of extremely spicy dishes in retaliation.
Jiang Yang frowned, ”You can eat spicy food?”
As far as he knows, both he and Qin Xu liked to eat spicy food, but they could only take mild spiciness. Their form of spiciness was even the mild sweet-spicy popular in the southern regions. Compared to places like Chong Qing and Sichuan, it couldn't even be called spicy.
However, at this moment Qin Xu nodded his head calmly. He asked: ”Why can't I?”
Since he had said so, what else could he say in return? He could only hope that the restaurant had adapted the spiciness to suit the local preferences.
When the first dish was served, the top of it was coated in a bright red layer of red peppers and chilli oil. Seeing this, Jiang Yang realised that things weren't good.
Qin Xu smiled and said: ”That's right, I almost forgot to ask. Can you take spicy food?”
Hidden within that disdainful question of his was —-Ah, if you can't take this little bit of spice then I will order a couple of milder ones for you.
This stimulated Jiang Yang and, despite originally planning to just eat some green vegetables to fill his stomach, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared for war.
”Who can't take it. Bring it on.”
And so, the two teenagers sat at the table eating to the point that their faces were bright red, their lips swollen and numb, and their forehead coated in sweat. They continuously downed sour plum drink to cool their mouths down and occasionally, when the other isn't looking, would stick out their tongue panting before continuing to eat.
Once done, they drank the sour plum drink to alleviate the spiciness in their mouth while still trying to act calm and nonchalant.
One said: ”Not bad. It's not very spicy and tasted very good.”
The other said: ”Compared to what I ate before, this isn't spicy enough.”
As they settled the bill, the boss saw the pitiful look of the two handsome boys whose eyes were still red and teary and said while shaking her head: ”Handsome, you shouldn't force yourself if you can't take the spiciness. You're regret it.”
The two responded by shaking their heads: ”I can take it.”
The boss said meaningfully: ”Soon you'll understand.”
Although you might feel good when eating spicy food, the consequence of it is very bad. This is particularly so when you go to the toilet.
At night when Qin Xu was left the bathroom his face was pale and lifeless. Supporting himself with the table he said: ”Your mum, this is really bad. I c.r.a.pped to the point that my a.s.shole hurts.”
Jiang Yang gloated at his misfortune: ”You brought it onto yourself.”
Qin Xu said through clenched teeth: ”You'll understand my pain soon. You might even be worse off.”
After playing games until just past midnight, Jiang Yang also went to the bathroom. As he sat down onto the toilet seat and started, he realised — Your mum, it really hurts.
No zuo no die. Those two probably wouldn't dare eat anything spicy for a while after this.
