Chapter 207: Out of Danger? No Such Thing (1/2)
Mo Ka’s reaction stunned everyone. Most of the people there thought he was merely exaggerating in order to help Bai Xiaofei. Everything changed when they ate the Crystal’s Longings.
“How can it be so delicious?”
“Holy shit. So good!”
“What’s the name of this fruit?”
Nobody could avoid crying out loud when trying a Crystal’s Longing for the first time, not even Lin Li. Bai Xiaofei heaved a long sigh of relief at this sight.
Phew…I survived this…
Xue Ying glared at Bai Xiaofei and whispered in a low voice that only the two of them could hear. “For this fruit, I won’t continue questioning you, but be careful in the future. Are you not satisfied with Little Li by your side?”
Bai Xiaofei paused slightly when he heard that. Why was she mentioning someone else’s name? A normal person would mention her own name, right? It wasn’t like Xue Ying was the type to be too shy to mention her own name.
“Class monitor, what is the name of this fruit? We don’t have anything this delicious in the southern region,” Zhu Sisi bounced toward Bai Xiaofei and asked a question everyone was curious about.
“Crystal’s Longing, a name signifying that this is a fruit one will have difficulty forgetting, just like first love,” Bai Xiaofei said with a slight smile. This caused everyone to have an expression of recollection on their faces. It was indeed a suitable name.
“Food is here!”
As everyone was in deep thought after trying the Crystal’s Longing, Rui Mengqi appeared to remind everyone of why they were questioning Bai Xiaofei. Bai Xiaofei felt like committing suicide when he saw her.
Damn it! If I had known this, I would have gone to the Hundred Flavor House instead!
Bai Xiaofei had nobody to blame but himself. He was the one who wanted to come here to save money. Leading the other waitresses, Rui Mengqi set the dishes on the table. Then, she saw the remaining Crystal’s Longings on the table, causing her to freeze where she stood. An expression of a kid who had seen her favorite snack appeared on her face. The sound of her swallowing saliva could be clearly heard.
“Boss…can I eat one?” Rui Mengqi asked. The enticement of a Crystal’s Longing was too great. When she was working at the Babel Merchant House, she never would have dreamed of eating one. But Bai Xiaofei felt completely different from her previous boss. Moreover, there were so many Crystal’s Longings here.
“You have never eaten one before?” Xue Ying asked in astonishment before Bai Xiaofei could answer. Of course, Rui Mengqi could not comprehend the deeper meaning of this question. She answered honestly.
“No. Although I have been a saleswoman for eight years at the Babel Merchant House, I have never eaten one.”
“Were you really a saleswoman at the Babel Merchant House?” Xue Ying regretted her question the moment she asked it. That was quite rude, but it did not matter as Rui Mengqi still only understood the literal meaning of her question.
