horrible
Xu Jingli, hearing that, thought he was getting praise. He quickly smiled and said, "I taught myself. So, is it good?"
He was like a puppy looking for approval from his master, and if he had been a dog, his tail would have been wagging back and forth in anticipation.
Chen Mumu couldn't bring herself to tell him how horrible the soup was. It was truly, truly horrible.
She wondered how it could look so good yet taste so bad!
She looked at Xu Jingli again and said, "It tastes... quite good."
She stammered because lying wasn't something she enjoyed doing.
Hearing that, Xu Jingli's imaginary tail began wagging even faster. He looked excited as he told her, "Quick, finish your food before it gets cold."
Chen Mumu was speechless. How could she finish all of this when it tasted so horrible? But because she didn't want to let Xu Jingli down, she took mouthful after mouthful until the entire plate was empty.
