574 Allergic (1/2)

Xu Xin was also rendered speechless by Happy's reaction. She remembered their conversation and his tone that would cause a lot of misunderstandings. It made it sound as if they were an old married couple, and she felt a little light-headed. Her face went completely red, and when her friends looked at her with strange and ambiguous looks, she felt her ears burn as if she were a child who stole a candy.

Her first thought was to glare at Happy to clear the misunderstanding, but she suddenly remembered the scene at noon yesterday, when she saw a hint of sadness that flashed briefly past his face, and she could not help but abandon the idea of trying to explain the situation.

”Xin, not bad, girl.”

When the girls saw that Xu Xin did not bother to explain herself, they thought that she had really agreed to date Happy, and the misunderstanding became even more thorough.

”Tsk tsk, you quietly ensnared the best in the University of South China together with his stomach.”

”Tell us your story. Which base are you at right now?”

Xu Xin said nothing. While the girls chattered on, she felt incredibly diffident. As for Happy, he looked very calm and relaxed. He just smiled without saying anything.

Xu Xin could only look to Xu Yao for help.

Xu Yao was not someone simple. At that moment, she decided to come out and make things even more chaotic. ”I think we should ask Happy, you know? Hmph, what sort of trickery did you use on our Xu Xin that the department princess of the Computer Engineering Department willingly cooked for you for a few months?”

Even though she sounded as if she was just trying to make things more chaotic for the fun of it, she did manage to divert everyone's attention.

When Happy noticed the five girls' gaze gather on him, he intentionally put on a thoughtful expression. ”Hmm, I really can't say. I don't know whether it's because Xu Xin is full of maternal love and decided to treat me like a wandering dog or if she came over with other motives. But Xu Xin's food is very delicious, so she'll definitely make a good wife in the future.”

”OOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!”

The girls squealed at the same time.

Xu Xin felt like dying from embarrassment. She did not expect that Happy would play up the joke to such a degree. If word about it spread out, she would definitely die of embarrassment.

”Big Sis Yao Yao, eat up. Try this.” Xu Xin glared at Happy while she picked up some food to divert everyone's attention.

She did not notice that Xu Yao was a little absent-minded. She just nodded and picked up a few coriander leaves that she placed in her mouth.

Happy had been paying attention to Xu Yao from the start, so he obviously noticed her actions. He frowned. Then, he saw Xu Yao's expression change. She immediately frowned too.

”Big Sis Yao Yao, what's wrong? Is the food not good?” Xu Xin also noticed Xu Yao's abnormal reaction.

Xu Yao quickly shook her head and chewed while she forced herself to smile. ”Of course not. I was thinking of something just now. It's nothing. The food you made is very delicious. It's no wonder why Happy refuses to let you go.”

”Big Sis Yao Yao, you're teasing me again. I really…” Xu Xin cast a glance at Happy. She felt embarrassed and angry, but she did not say her subsequent words.

At that moment, Happy found himself unable to continue watching.

”If you can't eat coriander, spit it out. The toilet is over there. Don't go getting an allergy later.” His tone was neither cold nor indifferent, and it caused the people at the dining table to become stunned.

”Big Sis Yao Yao, you can't eat coriander? Ah, I didn't know.”

Xu Xin was a girl who was not very sensitive to certain details. When she heard Happy's words, she was immediately worried about Xu Yao, and she did not notice that her other three good friends had discovered something else from the situation. When they saw Xu Yao stare at Happy in shock before she immediately got up, covered her mouth, and ran to the toilet, they realized that what Happy had said was true. Their gazes when they looked at him became puzzled.

One of the girls asked tentatively, ”Happy, how did you know that Xu Yao doesn't eat coriander?”

”She was eating really mechanical. Who wouldn't be able to guess?” Happy rolled his eyes after saying that.

”But based on your tone just now, you sounded like you even knew that she was allergic to coriander. We didn't know about this,” another girl said with curiosity and the spirit of gossip burning in her.

”Ask her this question when she gets back.”

It was only at that moment that Happy remembered that Xu Yao had never touched coriander while she was in the university and that she did not tell anyone that she was allergic to coriander because the body part which was allergic to coriander was a rather embarrassing spot…
