"No way, you're having porridge. Choose between porridge with century egg and lean meat or sliced fish. I'm giving you five seconds. Hurry up and make your choice," Yin Shaojie said assertively, not giving her a chance to throw a tantrum.
Mu Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "Then I'll take the porridge with century egg and lean meat then… Can you add something else though? For example, a strawberry cake or something… Please, pretty please!"
Yin Shaojie swept a glace across her before turning away to dial a number.
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't hear what he was saying and stood at her original spot gloomily.
"How long do we have to wait before the food arrives?" She studied the night sky. The dark sky was studded full of dazzling stars and looked very pretty. Looking at this made her mood better, but her stomach was still growling with hunger.
He replied, "It shouldn't be long. Let's find somewhere to sit."
Luckily, there was grass all around, so there were many places that they could sit.
Mu Xiaoxiao scrunched up her face and said, "Are there any bugs here?"
"Of course, there are many. There are even snakes. I don't think you should sit; you're better off standing up." Yin Shaojie smiled sinisterly and pretended to scare her.
"Humph!" Mu Xiaoxiao glared at him before sitting down beside him. "I'm a girl. Isn't it normal for me to be scared of bugs and stuff?"
However, she knew that Yin Shaojie probably didn't see her as a girl. If not, he wouldn't have ridiculed her constantly or treated her with no gentleness or thoughtfulness.
Luckily, they didn't have to wait long before someone came over with food.
As the person was about to leave after putting their food down, Yin Shaojie called to him suddenly and said, "You, wait."
"Yes, Young Master Jie?"
Yin Shaojie's bottom lips curled. "Take off your jacket and give it to me," he ordered.
"Ah?" The person was stunned, but not daring to disobey, he took his jacket off awkwardly and handed it over.
"You may leave now." Yin Shaojie dismissed his underling.
"Uh, okay…" The person left.
Yin Shaojie threw the jacket in his hand over to Mu Xiaoxiao, his face showing a 'you're so troublesome' look. "Use this as a mat to sit on," he said with mock resentment.
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled. Picking up the jacket, she spread it out on the grass and sat on it.
Now, she didn't have to worry about getting bitten by bugs anymore.
Opening the plastic bag, Mu Xiaoxiao could smell the fragrance of food. Her eyes lit up suddenly. "It smells like fried chicken!"
She was extremely delighted. Rummaging through the bag, she found a paper box of fried chicken and reached out to grab it.
"Smack!" Yin Shaojie slapped her hand away. Looking at her with a severe gaze, he said, "Didn't I say that you're not allowed to have this? Eat your porridge!"
He pulled out some porridge from another bag as he said this and handed it over to her.
Holding on to the porridge, Mu Xiaoxiao's face scrunched up, looking like a little dumpling. "Boohoo… I want to eat fried chicken."
He had gone too far!
He didn't let her eat it but had bought it for himself. Was he trying to taunt her by making her watch as he ate it?
"Hurry up and eat. Didn't you say you were hungry?" Yin Shaojie propped up a leg and rested his hand on his knee, looking devilishly handsome in the pose. He then grabbed a piece of fried chicken to eat.
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. Helpless, she could only open the lid of her container and started eating her porridge.
After eating half of it, she felt a little full and put the container down. However, her eyes were glued onto the fried chicken in Yin Shaojie's hand. Her mouth flooded with so much saliva that she had so swallow it.
Amused, Yin Shaojie looked at her. His dark, obsidian eyes glimmered deviously as he dangled the fried chicken from his hand. "Wanna have some?"
