Chapter 54 - "Pressing Spoon"

[Ohhh, that's an excellent idea, quack!] Yaya nodded in excitement. [So you will purposely cast aside the carrots, quack?]

[Yep! Let's see if Zhao Yang will reach or not. I bet he will because he is someone who can't see others wasting food. He will take the bait.] Lai Jiayi subconsciously tugged the corner of her lips.

The girl then started to eat chicken soup, but she would always pick up the carrot and put them on a separate plate.

At first, Zhao Yang didn't notice anything wrong, but after a few minutes passed by, the plates of carrots next to the bowl of soup was filled to the brim.

One could see the carrots formed a small tower.

Zhao Yang furrowed his eyebrows. He put down his food utensils and gawked at the girl with a cold gaze.

"Why are you putting the carrots aside?"

! This is it!

Lai Jiayi pretended to flinch. The girl stiffly lifted her head and smiled sheepishly. "T-that...I want to eat it later…"

[Yaya, he is hooked! What did I tell you? He can't see someone wasting food.]

[Yes, quack, you are right! Now let's see if Zhao Yang will feed you, quack.] Yaya looked at Zhao Yang with sparkling eyes, waiting for the man to do something.

At this moment, Zhao Yang only squinted his eyes at the pile of carrots on Lai Jiayi's plate. The man tapped his fingers on the table before abruptly speaking,

"Eat now. You won't eat it later."

Zhao Yang's cold voice sounded, and Lai Jiayi shuddered for real. Even Zhao Yun gulped nervously. He looked at Zhao Yang's side face and flinched.

'Ah. Uncle...looks serious.'

Zhao Yang's face was dark. He looked like he's about to cut Lai Jiayi to pieces if she didn't eat now.

[Oy, oy, this guy looks mad! What if the barometer drops??] Lai Jiayi broke in a cold sweat. The girl's hand, which was holding the spoon, just trembled non-stop.

[Hold on, quack! You can do this, quack! As long as you don't say anything rude, it will be fine, quack?] Yaya peeked at Zhao Yang, and once he saw the man's dark face, he also flinched.

'Okay, Zhao Yang looks like he really hates someone who wastes food.'

[I'll try to ignore this guy until he feeds me. How is it?] Lai Jiayi calmly scooped the soup, but she still didn't touch the carrot. The girl straightened her back, looking imposing even though she was actually childish.

[Do it, quack!]

With Yaya encouraging the girl, Lai Jiayi puffed up her chest and ignored Zhao Yang's words. The girl elegantly moved her hand, looking like a princess as she resumed eating.

Of course, the carrots were left untouched– for the second time.

Zhao Yang's head throbbed. The guy pursed his lips and tightened his fists.

'This girl! Did she just ignore me?!'

Zhao Yang was about to stand up and drag Lai Jiayi somewhere when Tianjin spoke to the guy.

[Master, let her be, ah. She's an adult. Why should you care whether she finishes her food or not?]

Zhao Yang paused. The guy lowered his head and sighed. His face softened a bit.

[You are right. But, it doesn't mean she can waste food. You know how precious food is for human beings, right?] Zhao Yang touched his forehead and kneaded it.

[Without food– ]

[Master, I get it. But can you force someone to eat something they don't like? Unless you feed her or something.]

Tianjin shrugged. She said the last part only as sarcasm, but little did she know, her master took it seriously.

[Oh, feed her. Nice.] Zhao Yang's eyes flickered. He suddenly stood up and leaned forward to Lai Jiayi's table, startling everyone.

!

Zhao Yun gaped. He looked at his uncle with his eyes twitching.

'What is he doing??'

Zhao Yun hadn't asked Zhao Yang when the man suddenly scooped the pile of carrots with the spare spoon on the table. The man then brought the spoon closer to Lai Jiayi's lips.

"Eat. Or I'll feed you until you eat." Zhao Yang had a cold smile on his face, looking like a devil crawling from hell. Tianjin and Zhao Yun got goosebumps. They even almost fainted with their mouth foaming.

'Evil, so cruel! Uncle knows that miss is scared of men, so he makes use of that! He's threatening her!'

Zhao Yun looked at Lai Jiayi with eyes full of pity. He quickly mouthed.

'Miss, eat now! Else, he will never stop!'

Lai Jiayi glanced at Zhao Yun. She saw what Zhao Yun said to her. The boy really thought that she's afraid.

Of course, she had to be. Right now, Zhao Yang's towering figure was right in front of her. He looked like a giant wanting to rob money or something.

At a time like this, Lai Jiayi should feel scared. Her trauma should be triggered. But, the girl didn't even show any symptoms. Zhao Yang was standing less than a meter in front of her, but Lai Jiayi didn't flinch.

Her face didn't turn pale. She wasn't sweating at all. The girl didn't even reflect fear in her eyes. Her amber eyes were sparkling in excitement instead.

[Yaya, we did it!! Oh my– I didn't expect him to fall to our trap so easily– ]

[Hurry, eat from the spoon, quack! Only then will the mission be counted as a success!] Yaya slapped the back of Lai Jiayi's head.

'Jia is excited too early!!'

[Ah, yes, forgot.] Lai Jiayi slowly lifted her head and was about to eat the carrot when Zhao Yang

pressed the spoon to her lips.
