After walking for what felt like an eternity, Gu Jingze asked, “Are we there yet?”

Lin Che then suddenly realized that in the midst of walking beside him and looking at his smile, she had forgotten all about the Mala soup. They already walked past it.

“Oh no, we missed it. It’s behind us.”

Lin Che said shyly.

Gu Jingze said speechlessly, “You… Of course, you would miss it. Where did your IQ go?”

“It got eaten up by you. Hmph,” Lin Che glared at him and thought that it was all his fault. If he didn’t hold her hand out of the blue, she wouldn’t have lost her train of thought and missed it.

Lin Che did not dare to look him in the eye and only said, “Okay, okay. Let’s head back first. It’s not too far away.”

Gu Jingze was still stubbornly holding her hand and Lin Che did not pry away either. They reached the Mala soup stall which was filled with people. The majority of them were students.

Lin Che immediately went to sit inside. She saw that the place did not change that much since the last time and felt nostalgic. She made Gu Jingze sit and wait for her there while she went to buy the Mala soup.

Standing there, she looked down at her own hand and thought about how they were holding hands just now. She smiled like an idiot.

As she was waiting, she kept looking back at Gu Jingze. He was sitting upright and looking around. He looked so out of place like a perfect painting in the middle of a retro place.

Just then, some young ladies at the side noticed Gu Jingze.

“Wow, that man there is so handsome.”

“Too handsome. Is he from our school?”

“I don’t think so. He is dressed very maturely.”

“Like a celebrity. I can’t take it. I feel like I’m going to faint from just looking at him. Who wants to go over and say hi?”

“I don’t dare. You do it.”

Lin Che thought silently, Girls these days… They don’t have a single drop of self-restraint.

But it was true that Gu Jingze caused a big reaction wherever he went.

Looking back, that enchanter was still so oblivious as he sat there, quietly shining.

Lin Che quickly took a number and hurriedly went in front of the young ladies and sat in front of Gu Jingze.

She turned back and saw the disappointment on their faces when she sat down. She secretly felt proud.

Gu Jingze noticed Lin Che was still smiling and he asked strangely, “What are you smiling about?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just going to say that those young kids are really something.”

Gu Jingze looked at those young ladies and said, “They’re not that young. They’re not that far off from your age, right?”

Lin Che said, “I guess about 18 or 19. I’m already 23, okay? I’m considered old in their eyes. Sigh, it’s so good to be young. Look at all those young flesh and young punks. They look so youthful.”

She forgot that the ‘old’ one was sitting right in front of her.

Gu Jingze’s face darkened. He watched the group of students walk past before turning to her and asking, “What’s so good about being young? The older a man gets, the more valuable he is. Those young punks would never know how to treat a girl right.”

“You can say that but youth means endless possibilities, right? And fresh meat is always better,” Lin Che did not notice that as she was saying all this, the man in front of her was becoming more visibly upset.

“Their mentality is not complete and they don’t know how to make you happy. What’s so good about that?”

“They’re young and strong. Heh heh. Time will be slow and their energy is limitless,” Lin Che said and raised an eyebrow at Gu Jingze. Her words harbored a different meaning.

As a man, Gu Jingze was also naturally sensitive towards this area. He finally understood what Lin Che meant.

With a grave face, he looked at her, “Do you need me to prove to you… that a mature man can also have limitless energy? And are more skillful? And that we know how to take care of a woman’s feelings?”

Lin Che saw a threatening flash in Gu Jingze’s eyes and realized that she had hurt his ego. She quickly laughed dryly, “Yes, yes, you’re the best. You’re the most handsome, richest, and gentlest of them all. Even though you may say bad things, are troublesome, difficult to please, and have many rules, you’re actually pretty good.”

“…”

Did he really have that many flaws in her eyes?

Just then, the Mala soup finally arrived.

The aroma wafted up Lin Che’s nose and she immediately forgot about everything else, “Ah, let’s eat this Mala soup.”

Gu Jingze looked at the oily stuff gathered together and lost his desire to eat it.

However, Lin Che ate it as if it was so good. Her lips were plump and red from the spiciness.

She looked good.

She looked up and realized that Gu Jingze was only staring at her and not eating. She looked at the Mala soup in front of him and said, “You don’t really want to eat it, do you? It’s okay, I’ll accompany you to eat something else later.”

“No, I want to eat it, but I want you to feed me,” Gu Jingze said.

“Huh?” Lin Che stared at him and felt his gaze began to turn sinister.

Gu Jingze said, “It’s okay, you can feed me as you eat.”

“How do I feed you then?” She asked with her mouth full.

Gu Jingze suddenly moved across the table, held her face and bit her lip.

When the tip of his tongue entered, Lin Che froze.

He rolled out whatever was in her mouth, licked her lips, and then retreated.

“Ah, you…” Lin Che’s face was red. She could not tell if it was because of the spiciness or him.

Gu Jingze realized that eating this way was more delicious.

He licked his own lips and nodded. He said, “Hm, very nice. Come on, let’s continue.”

“…”

Lin Che objected, “No more. Why are you like this? Gangster!”

No more?

Gu Jingze had not eaten his fill yet.

“If you don’t come, I’ll feed you.”

As he spoke, he put some food in his mouth. It was very spicy, but he did not mind sharing it with her.

He held her head still and kissed her.

This time, he pushed the food from his mouth into hers. The spiciness hit both of them. It was lip-numbing and exciting, and it made them want more.

Lin Che was really confused.

“I’m not eating, I’m not eating. Gu Jingze, stop playing!”

“But I’m not full yet…” Gu Jingze continued feeding her. Lin Che’s face was so red that she looked like she was burning up. She quickly pushed Gu Jingze away, “Can’t you eat properly? Stop doing this!”

Gu Jingze laughed and finally began eating on his own.

He gained some appetite after poking fun at her for a while. He ate the Mala soup as he looked at her.

It did not look nice, but the taste was indeed not bad. It was probably because there was a lot of oil so although it was unhealthy, it was very fragrant.

They finally finished eating, but something happened to Gu Jingze.

After he was done, his stomach started to hurt.

He held his stomach area and rubbed it. Frowning, he said, “My stomach doesn’t feel well.”

Lin Che was shocked, “Wow, are you serious… What happened? Let me see.”
