Chapter 295 - 290: Phoenix Man
Ever since Ye Qiu expressed his feelings to Zhang Meng, she stopped being so cautious around him and would occasionally act coy or get a little temperamental, all with Ye Qiu’s tacit indulgence.
"Ye Qiu, are you going to eat this?" Zhang Meng held a chopstickful of stir-fried beef up to his mouth, pouting and staring at him with her round, doe-like eyes.
Ye Qiu, with no other choice, opened his mouth and ate the beef obediently: "Mengmeng, you’ve been getting heaty recently, why are you still having beef?"
"Mind your own business, can’t I just like the cilantro in it?" Zhang Meng retorted as she pushed the rest of the beef onto Ye Qiu’s plate.
"Is this for me? You’re worried that I’m not eating well, huh?" Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows at her and affectionately ruffled her hair.
Zhang Meng’s face turned a shade redder, and she protested: "Oh, it’s all your fault, messing up my hair like that."
"Yesterday, Professor Wang referred me to a part-time job, translating some foreign medical papers. The pay isn’t bad, so you don’t have to worry about me."
"Who’s worried about you," Zhang Meng muttered under her breath, "If you don’t eat, I will." She attempted to take the beef back.
"Who said I’m not eating? Why wouldn’t I eat the beef specially cooked by my girlfriend?" Ye Qiu quickly grabbed another chopstickful of beef and ate it, "Look at you, you’ve got pimples around your mouth and you’re still eating."
Upon hearing that, Zhang Meng put down her chopsticks and pouted, "Oh really, Ye Qiu. Are you saying you’re sick of me now?"
"I wouldn’t dare," Ye Qiu quickly raised his hands in surrender, placing a bowl of goji berry and pork liver soup in front of her, "Have this instead. It’s said to be beautifying and cooling."
Looking at the bowl of soup, Zhang Meng chuckled to herself. The cafeteria often offered free soups that were cheap and simple to make, such as seaweed egg soup, tomato egg soup, or kelp soup, and they were usually average in taste.
