Chapter 280: 274: Pinch each other as soon as they meet
"Oh, did someone beg you to come?"
"Is it any of your business?"
"Hey, can you two stop bickering whenever you meet? Can you be a bit more calm?" Cen Jin looked at them and felt helpless, so she laughed and tried to mediate.
"Do you think I want to bicker with him? He was the one who started it just now." Yun Xi shot Lu Xize a disdainful glance. "With him, I’d rather know a monkey than him!"
Lu Xize was amused by her words and was about to retort when Cen Jin chimed in again, "Lu Xize, come on, you’re a man, Yun Xi is a girl, you should at least give her some leeway. Don’t act like enemies every time you meet."
Lu Xize was speechless and shrugged his shoulders. "A girl? Other than looking like one, where else does she resemble a girl? What girl acts like a tigress and can throw a guy like me, who’s six feet one, over her shoulder? If you hadn’t said she was a girl, I’d have thought she was an ape! They look exactly the same."
"You say that again, and I’ll tear your mouth off! Talking about the over-the-shoulder throw, you have the nerve to mention it? You know you’re six foot one, right? Getting thrown by me, who’s five foot six, truthfully makes you weak." Yun Xi wasn’t backing down and, remembering their first meeting, was infuriated and stood up fiercely, glaring at him as a warning.
Seeing the two about to start a fight, Ye Lingran chimed in to prevent it, "Alright, alright, Yun Xi, we’re here to eat, not to fight. Let’s just say less, okay? Here’s your favorite shrimp ball." Saying this, he even picked a few shrimp balls into her bowl.
Wei Xuan finally got a glimpse of the deep-seated grudge between Doctor Lu and Miss Yun, and hurriedly echoed, "Doctor Lu, have some water, have some water, don’t be angry."
Their war subsided at last, and those who mediated felt relieved.
Meanwhile, Jiang Baizhou hadn’t said a word from start to finish. He was quietly selecting and serving dishes to Cen Jin by his side, so attentively that Zhu Qinghan found it distressingly eye-catching and heartbreaking. She couldn’t help but think how wonderful it would be if she could be enjoying this treatment beside him right now!
But some things seem destined not to belong to oneself, no matter what one does, they cannot change.
"Hey, let’s play a little game!" Wei Xuan suddenly raised an eyebrow and smiled as she suggested when everyone was quiet.
"What game?"
"Very simple! Truth game! Just eating is so boring! We ought to have a little fun, right?" Wei Xuan cautiously surveyed them, asking carefully because her two bosses were there, so she didn’t dare go about it willy-nilly, just tentatively proposed.
"Let’s try a couple of rounds!" Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and agreed with a smile.
"Let’s do it then, who’s afraid?" Seeing Yun Xi agree, Lu Xize naturally didn’t want to appear weak, especially not after catching Yun Xi’s challenging glance directed at him.
"The rules are very simple huh! Here’s an empty drink bottle we just finished. Whoever the bottle cap points at answers a question from the person the bottle bottom points at. Shall we try the first round?" Given that the table was round with a hot pot in the middle making things inconvenient, she cleared the items around her, freeing some space, placed the bottle up and gave it a little spin, everyone’s eyes followed the rotating bottle.
Eventually, the bottle gently came to rest with its cap pointing at Cen Jin. Her chewing motion paused; she hadn’t planned to engage in this somewhat silly game at all, but fate is unpredictable, the first round made her the participant.
"Haha, Sister Cen Jin, it’s you! So I’ll ask the question!" Wei Xuan clapped her hands and thoughtfully asked, "Sister Cen Jin, was your first love Doctor Jiang?"
Cen Jin froze, instinctively glancing at Jiang Baizhou beside her, noticing his eyes intently fixed on her. For a moment, she felt speechless, put down her chopsticks, cleared her throat, and awkwardly rubbed her nose, "Ahem... always has been!"
"Oh wow!"
Under the teasing gazes of everyone, Cen Jin shyly lowered her head with a smile, while Jiang Baizhou’s glance brimmed with pride and delight; he raised his eyebrows with pleasure and added a piece of beef to her bowl.
