Upon arriving at the restaurant, a few of them entered, with Shu and Yu Meng flanking Yun Li, effectively blocking Jiang Shiyu's attempts to hold Yun Li's hand. Jiang Shiyu felt frustrated but couldn't voice her displeasure. It was her first time feeling so powerless.
Yu Meng and Shu acted like guardians, surrounding Yun Li, while Jiang Shiyu stood behind them, her Peach Blossom Eyes glaring at Cheng Zhou, silently asking if he could do something about it. Shu turned around and snapped back, "He can't control me." After speaking, she huffed in a haughty manner and turned away.
Jiang Shiyu clenched her jaw in irritation, nearly grinding her back teeth to dust. With a swift motion, she reached out and grabbed Yun Li's arm, pulling her backward. Startled, Yun Li instinctively stepped back, only to bump into the solid chest behind her. Taking advantage of the moment, Jiang Shiyu draped her arm over Yun Li's shoulders, pulling her into an embrace and smirking triumphantly.
Yun Li looked up at her in confusion. Yu Meng and Shu turned around, equally bewildered by the sudden turn of events involving Yun Li. In unison, they exclaimed, "Sly guy!"
A burst of laughter erupted from Peng Qingyu and Xu Nian, with Xu Nian's laughter echoing throughout the hall, drawing the attention of passersby. Yu Meng shot him a glare, prompting Xu Nian to awkwardly stifle his laughter and glance around sheepishly; he realized he might have gotten a bit too carried away.
Once they entered the private room, Jiang Shiyu successfully settled next to Yun Li. Shu wanted to sit beside Yun Li as well but was pulled down by Cheng Zhou to sit next to him instead. Shu felt dissatisfied but didn't dare to protest.
Grabbing the menu, Shu eagerly ordered several dishes, her eyes nearly watering at the mouthwatering pictures on the menu. "I’m going to eat everything today." She pointed out a dish of Shui Zhu Rou Pian because Hao Hao liked it, then chose Spicy Chicken for Hao Hao as well, and ordered a mild dish for Meng Meng. The steamed fish looked good too; she added a chicken stew with mushrooms to her order.
This restaurant had a wide variety of dishes tailored to the tastes of Jiangzhou locals. While the flavors might not be entirely authentic, they were certainly palatable and aligned well with local preferences.
Xu Nian chimed in loudly, "Shu, order me some tofu!"
"Alright then, Mapo Tofu it is!"
Xu Nian panicked, "No! I can’t handle Mapo Tofu."
"Just ask the chef to make it mildly spicy; a little heat makes it delicious," Shu suggested.
Shu Ye wasn’t very good with spicy food either; she used to avoid it entirely. However, she started eating a little bit for Yun Li’s sake and could now handle mild spice—medium spice was her limit.
After ordering, the waiter left, and Shu's eyes rolled around as if she was holding back something mischievous.
"Jiang Shiyu, do you know if Hao Hao likes spicy food?"
Jiang Shiyu scoffed, "Do I need you to tell me?"
"Well, do you know that Hao Hao used to eat spicy food so much that she often ended up with a sore throat and had to go to the hospital for IV drips? It tortured her for quite a while."
Jiang Shiyu was taken aback. "How could eating spicy food be that serious?"
Yun Li, fearing she might spill more secrets, quickly interjected, "That’s old news; let’s not talk about it."
Shu covered her mouth and chuckled. "Alright! I won’t say anything more. But Jiang Shiyu, you better remember this; keep it in your mind because it will be on the test later."
Shu feigned mystery, and everyone looked at her with curiosity, except for Yun Li, who appeared flustered.
Yun Li gestured for Shu to stop talking.
Jiang Shiyu's Peach Blossom Eyes were filled with confusion, her brows furrowed. "What does this have to do with me?"
The dishes arrived, and Shu began to eat voraciously, letting out satisfied sighs with every bite.
Cheng Zhou served her some food, lightly frowning. "Slow down; no one is competing with you."
Jiang Shiyu served Yun Li some food while avoiding the spicy dishes. Yun Li looked at the spicy dishes with drool already forming; she reached out to grab the Spicy Chicken.
"Eat less spicy food," Jiang Shiyu advised.
Yun Li understood that Jiang Shiyu was concerned because of what Shu had just said.
"It's fine; that's all in the past now. I’ve completely adapted; you don’t need to worry."
"I can still handle the spice in Spicy Hot Pot. The Spicy Hot Pot at our school is delicious and spicy; I can eat it every time," Yun Li said, a faint smile lighting up her eyes as she seemed to really enjoy it.
Speaking of Spicy Hot Pot, Yun Li added, "By the way, we talked about going to Jing Wu's Spicy Hot Pot last time; we were so drunk we forgot."
"We definitely need to try that next time; their Spicy Hot Pot is super popular—better than any other place."
Shu chimed in, "What’s so special about this Spicy Hot Pot that you all keep mentioning? I want to try it too."
Cheng Zhou replied nonchalantly from the side, "Next time you'll be going to America; when will you have time to eat?"
"I'm not going forever," Shu muttered in dissatisfaction.
