Chapter 1144 - 012 I said I have a boyfriend_4
"Brother Axel, can you handle the spiciness of Chinese cuisine? I always feel like there’s a spicy girl’s soul living inside my sister," Liam Carrington pouted when they arrived. Every time he came here, it reminded him of the first time Elena took him here for Chinese food. Elena ordered several bright red dishes, and he, unsuspecting, took a big bite—only to leap up in spiciness. Everyone in the restaurant looked at him with strange eyes, and he was utterly embarrassed, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
He hadn’t expected Sister Elena to tease him like that on her birthday, so he didn’t hold it against her.
"Girls will be girls. We boys shouldn’t try to guess their thoughts," Axel Hawkins stopped Liam with just one sentence.
Liam thought Axel’s words were quite profound. He felt foolish for trying to figure out why Elena, a genuine G City native, could handle spiciness so well while he couldn’t.
He should’ve asked Brother Axel for advice earlier, so he wouldn’t have foolishly analyzed it by himself.
Elena Duncan just listened to their conversation without comment. She went inside, chatted with the owners like an old friend, and even used authentic Sichuan dialect.
Axel Hawkins was taken aback by her ability to speak the local dialect fluently. He was impressed that she had learned to speak even such regional slang.
The reason Elena learned so many languages, including domestic dialects, was on Simon Carrington’s advice. Plus, she had a real talent for language learning, so after listening closely to various local dialects, she slowly began to pick up a bit of each.
After exchanging pleasantries with the owners, Elena quickly ordered a few dishes, and the three of them found a table to sit down. "The couple who sell Chinese food are really nice; they’ve helped me before, so I gradually developed a liking for Chinese cuisine," Elena explained.
Thus, she was explaining to Axel, it wasn’t as Liam said—she didn’t have a spicy girl’s soul.
