Chapter 175: The Manic Zheng Huai
Guan Lei picked up a crab roe dumpling, placed it into Shen Xi’s bowl and said, "You’re overthinking things. I’m treating you to a meal because you helped me with my insomnia. Last night was a great success; I managed to sleep till nine o’clock this morning, so I may need to trouble you for a while more. Take these dishes as my way of saying thank you."
The crab roe dumpling suddenly tasted and smelled much better. Guan Lei did look better than he did the previous day, so maybe there was some truth in his words.
She, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. Earlier in the bathroom, she had seen her reflection in the mirror and nearly mistook herself for a panda.
Shen Xi feared that in helping Guan Lei treat his insomnia, she would fall victim to his present curse. It would be more than a loss if that were to happen.
"Eat; you’ve earned it. Every single dish here is yours to partake in. It’s perfectly reasonable," Guan Lei said to Shen Xi, distracting her from the silly notion that she had to repay him.
Shen Xi put on a fake smile.
When they finished breakfast, it was already 11 o’clock, and Shen Xi decided it was time for her to return to her dorm and catch some shut-eye.
Shen Xi and Guan Lei exited the observation room together, surprising Zheng Huai.
