Chapter 510 - Spicy (2/2)

”Are you alright? Didn't you like it? Was it too spicy for you? Sorry I added chili, thinking you preferred a bit of hot food.”

Rui could no longer hold his tears while he answered Cali, ”Yeah a little spicy… So it's making me cry, but I love it just like this. I love eating this kind of food. I like spicy food.”

”I thought so…” Cali answered with a grin and handed Rui a tissue.

”Here… Geez… I can't believe that spicy food can make you cry like this. Now I know what to do just to make you cry,” Cali commented in a jest.

She stood up to get Rui some fresh juice and also served him some desserts.

”I'm not crying because of chillies but because I was touched as it's the first time you cooked me something delicious ever since we moved in here.” Rui uttered to disguise the reason for his crying more.

Cali laughed and beamed with an evil and playful grin, ”Don't worry from now on the kitchen area will be my ground. I will handle our meals, doc. I will make more spicy dishes for you so I can make you cry every day.”

Rui chuckled and said, ”I really don't mind as long as it's you. But remember, even I will have my chance in making you cry...”

Cali suddenly blushed when she heard him and peeled the underlying meaning of his words, which he might or not have meant...

Soon they finished lunch and Cali cleaned up the table and went to the sink to wash the dishes.

”I'll do the washing,” Cali heard Rui from behind as he added, ”Go and rest or watch some movies in the living room and I will follow you shortly.”

Cali turned around and said, ”Thanks…”

But paused because Rui was too close to her.

”I really love what you cooked for me, Cali. Thank you, sweetheart. I'm looking forward to eating more of your dishes…” Rui whispered with his eyes gazing into hers deeply and Cali felt those stares pierced deep down into her soul. And the word 'sweetheart' coming out from his mouth felt like tingling the nerves of joy inside her erratically beating heart.

She was mesmerised, but she controlled the parting of her lips, remembering her embarrassment before at the thought of Rui would kiss him.

She would not make the same mistake again.

Cali gave him a half smile and said, ”You really want to cry every day, huh?”

She moved to get away from him and Rui gave her way, chuckling as he teased,, ”Why? Are you getting distracted with my closeness? I can't blame you… Most women do, whenever I'm in their close proximity.”

Cali's face twitched as she murmured, ”I'll better leave now doc instead of listening to your boasting about yourself…”

”Is he referring to Ruth?!” Cali whispered annoyingly as she walked into the living area to watch some good movies.

Rui heaved a deep sigh as he watched Cali leave.
