Chapter 62 - "I Will Help You Massage Them" (1/2)

Xie Jingyu did not understand what had made Yu Huiyin sad, but his heart ached whenever he saw her depressed. Hence, he tried to make her focus on the food and cheer her up.

”Take a look at the menu and tell me what you would like to eat,” he said smilingly, and Yu Huiyin happily accepted the menu, looking through it.

”Hot pot!” Yu Huiyin said after merely glancing at the menu for a brief moment, ”I want a Sichuan hot pot!”

Xie Jingyu was not a big fan of hot pot, but since Yu Huiyin felt like eating it, he gladly agreed. ”That's it then,” he said.

After deciding, he rang a small bell that was placed on the table, and moments after, a waiter arrived in the room to take their order.

Not long after the soup base was brought to them, it was dark red, and one could see the chilis lying in the soup, alongside the many spices. Just smelling it was enough to make one sweat, but the tantalizing scent also lured people to want to eat as soon as possible.

After placing the soup base on the table, the other dishes arrived, the dishes that one was to cook in the soup base.

There were finely shaven beef slices, assorted fish balls, thinly sliced fish fillet, tofu sheets, mushrooms, soy puffs, and many more.

It was indeed a magnificent feast for just two people, and Yu Huiyin almost felt that they were wasteful, but she had a hard time waiting to dig into the meal.

The waiters exited the room, and Xie Jingyu handed a set of chopsticks to Yu Huiyin. ”Dig in,” he said affectionately, and Yu Huiyin accepted the chopsticks before she picked up a finely shaven strip of beef and placed it in the soup base, cooking it before she could taste it.

Although she was not eating yet, her mouth was watering and her eyes were shining. The food was simply smelling too good, and she could almost not wait for it to be done cooking so she could taste.

Xie Jingyu shook his head in amus.e.m.e.nt as he saw her eyes filled with hunger, and he too picked some of the ingredients and began cooking them.

After ensuring that the beef was cooked, Yu Huiyin placed it in her mouth, and a gratified smile blossomed on her lips.

The food was as good as she had thought.

The two spent a long time dining together and chatting. Xie Jingyu asked into the gaming company, and Yu Huiyin questioned him about a few things that had puzzled her when she had been sitting at her desk, working on the accounting.

As they ate more and more, Yu Huiyin's lips turned plump and red from the spiciness, and Xie Jingyu had a harder time focusing on the conversation.
