Chapter 69 : Spicy Boozy Crayfish~
69: Spicy Boozy Crayfish~
Whether it was Su Mo's imagination or not, recently she always felt like many people liked to touch her hands.
President Chu Tianlan would occasionally touch them when studying English, Junior Yun Xia would intimately hold her hand while walking, that evil loli senior... eh, better not mention that one.
But what Su Mo hadn't expected was that Lin Muyao, usually the aloof campus belle girlfriend, was now also grasping her hand and not letting go.
Emmmmmmmmm I clearly presented the gift with both hands, so why isn't she looking at the gift at all and just won't let go of my hand!
Did her girlfriend have different priorities?
As the handshake lasted over 3 seconds, just as the atmosphere at the entrance began falling into a strange, romantic ambiance.
"Crayfish are ready~"
Suddenly, a sweet loli voice rang out from the kitchen.
The next moment, An Xiaoqian, wearing a cute little white rabbit pajama outfit with an apron tied around it, appeared in the living room carrying a large basin of spicy, fragrant crayfish.
It must be said that although An Xiaoqian's heart was black, setting aside her big rabbits, her adorable loli figure in this cute-style little white rabbit pajamas was truly very suitable, giving people a special kind of innocent, beautiful fantasy.
Combined with her currently carrying a large basin containing at least 200 crayfish, it added several points of cute beauty to the scene.
However, Su Mo was in no mood to appreciate this at all.
Because as An Xiaoqian walked to the entrance, she clearly saw An Xiaoqian give her an evil wink with those mischievous eyes, as if silently saying: Hehe, now that you're here, there's going to be fun.
Disturbed by An Xiaoqian's sudden voice, Lin Muyao finally came back to her senses.
Reluctantly releasing Su Mo's hand and taking the gift, she found slippers for Su Mo. To break the awkward handshake moment, her cheeks slightly tinged with a blush, she said softly:
"Junior Su Mo, thank you for the gift, I really like... ah no wait, why are you giving me another one? Didn't you already give me one before?"
Su Mo, who had taken off her shoes and put on slippers, breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Lin Muyao hadn't noticed anything wrong with her feet. Facing her question, she quickly used her pre-prepared explanation:
"It's just... the clothes I gave before, I felt were a bit too revealing, and you might not like them, Muyao, so I wanted to give you something new. This is a foundation I picked out for you, it should be very suitable. Open it and look now—if you don't like it, it can be returned within three days."
Hearing Su Mo, who had put on slippers and entered the house, explain the birthday gift with even a hint of nervousness and lack of confidence, afraid she might not like the gift.
Opening the packaging bag and seeing a Dior foundation under the butterfly bow wrapping, Lin Muyao, knowing this brand wasn't cheap, felt her heart waver.
As a young, beautiful campus belle, she had received many birthday gifts on her birthday, including many that were expensive and exquisite.
In comparison, Su Mo's 'underwear gift + foundation' were in the ordinary price range.
But thinking of how Su Mo worked part-time constantly, always earning money through jobs, and even the men's clothes he currently wore were very cheap. Despite being so poor himself, he still worried she might not like it and bought such an expensive gift for her.
Looking at the foundation in her palm, thinking that this small bottle's price could buy Su Mo a whole new outfit.
This contrasting feeling made Lin Muyao's heart pound.
After carefully checking the foundation's skin tone and finding it matched her complexion, an image appeared in Lin Muyao's mind.
Su Mo as a boy, like when going to the underwear store before, with flushed cheeks asking store clerks about cosmetics.
Faced with Su Mo's two birthday gifts so full of 'heartfelt intention', smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Su Mo, recalling the dream where she was almost eaten during her afternoon nap.
At this moment, Lin Muyao suddenly discovered that she was no longer satisfied with Su Mo just being her contract little boyfriend!
Su Mo was unaware of Lin Muyao's current change of heart caused by the birthday gift.
If she had known, Su Mo would definitely 'slightly' clarify that it was all a misunderstanding.
As for why the word 'slightly' was used.
The reason was simple—Su Mo's intention to give Lin Muyao a birthday gift was indeed sincere.
Although initially being a temporary boyfriend was something Su Mo was forced into, after these few days together, Su Mo really quite liked Lin Muyao, this gentle girl!
After successfully giving the birthday gift.
Su Mo and Lin Muyao finally left the entrance and walked toward the living room.
Perhaps because today was Lin Muyao's birthday, the living room was different from Su Mo's last visit with its simple elegance.
Now there were some simple decorations—a bouquet of freshly bought flowers on the kotatsu table, and some star decorations hung on the walls.
Looking at these small changes and recalling the rough scene in her 503 dormitory where roommates' birthdays only had wine bottles.
Su Mo couldn't help but sigh that compared to boys, girls indeed paid more attention to details.
Just as Su Mo was curiously examining the room, a spicy, fragrant aroma suddenly dominated her nostrils.
Smelling this scent, Su Mo looked over curiously.
She saw An Xiaoqian, who had just been obediently sitting duck-style at the kotatsu, had quietly run in front of her while Lin Muyao was in her room putting away the 'foundation'. Now she was holding a peeled crayfish, bringing it to Su Mo's mouth while whispering:
"Come, wife, open your mouth, ahh~~~ Eat the crayfish I made!"
Hearing An Xiaoqian once again use the term 'wife' for her, Su Mo's face darkened. She instinctively turned her head away, pretending not to hear.
Seeing Su Mo's resistant behavior, An Xiaoqian wasn't too surprised. She just tugged Su Mo's sleeve with her other little hand, pointed toward Lin Muyao's room, and continued:
"Wife, if you don't eat my crayfish, it won't look good when your wife sees later!"
Hearing An Xiaoqian use her loli voice to quietly say such problematic things, Su Mo's pink fists tightened slightly.
Hard, hard, her fists were getting hard.
After silently deciding in her heart that once Utena's transformation energy was full, she would severely punish An Xiaoqian and let her know how formidable she was.
Finally, looking at An Xiaoqian persistently holding up the crayfish, to avoid Lin Muyao noticing anything unusual, Su Mo could only humiliatingly part her lips and reluctantly eat the spicy crayfish brought to her mouth.
The crayfish body showed an appetizing light red color, clearly having absorbed enough sauce.
Upon entering her mouth, the spicy and numbing flavors instantly filled Su Mo's oral cavity. Combined with the crayfish's own chewy texture and the heat of being fresh from the pot, it elevated the crayfish's deliciousness to a new level.
Although the taste was good, after carefully savoring it for a moment.
Su Mo's brows furrowed slightly, her cheeks also showing a faint flush as she asked uncertainly:
"Did you put cooking wine in this?"
Hearing Su Mo's confusion, An Xiaoqian first shook her mischievous twin tails, then took out a Maotai bottle from behind her. She turned the bottle mouth down and shook it, but not a drop of liquor spilled out, saying:
"No cooking wine, but here's a bottle of real alcohol I took from my dad's stash! How is it? The sauce is quite rich, right!"
