Chapter 53: Chapter 53: This man snatched the spoon she used!

The small chair, not even 20 centimeters high, looked like it was meant for little friends in kindergarten. The tall, noble man sitting on it was a picture of incongruity.

Passersby cast curious glances their way.

Many girls would typically approach a top-notch man spotted alone, hoping to strike up a conversation. But upon seeing the handsome guy surrounded by a Siberian chill and his handsome face practically screaming ‘keep out strangers,’ they retreated quietly.

A handsome guy is precious, but life is priceless.

This handsome guy seemed to be in a bad mood, better not to provoke him.

“Here we are, all good.” Chi Enen had bought two servings of Pineapple Rice, carefully carrying one in each hand. She placed one in front of the man with the icy demeanor and set the other one aside casually, then blew on her red fingers.

So hot-

Should have asked the boss for a plate to carry them.

“What happened to your hand?” Li Beijue still had a cold face, but the concern in his eyes gave him away.

Chi Enen subtly hid her hand and sat down with a smile, “It’s nothing, just burnt my fingers a bit on the hot Pineapple Rice, but it’s fine now.”

Li Beijue didn’t believe her excuse. He insisted on pulling out her left hand to check, and after making sure it was indeed alright, his expression softened slightly, “Idiot! Couldn’t you have asked the stall owner to help carry it?”

For a 10-yuan dish, as if they’d care.

Chi Enen stuck out her tongue but didn’t argue with him. She handed Li Beijue a disposable plastic spoon and sniffed the aromatic Pineapple Rice, genuinely impressed, “It smells so good.”

He couldn’t see what was so fragrant.

Li Beijue didn’t move an inch, showing no intention of eating.

Chi Enen didn’t mind him, anyway, it was his choice to eat or not. She took a spoon and began to eat heartily.

Pineapple Rice was essentially just hollowed-out pineapple filled with glutinous rice, along with bits of pineapple flesh steamed together. Although simple, the sweet fragrance of the pineapple infused the rice, making it exceptionally delicious.

Chi Enen was enjoying her meal when the man, who had been silent, furrowed his brows and gave the Pineapple Rice in front of him a doubtful glance.

He had always been picky with food, and this was his first time at a Roadside Stall.

The unhygienic plastic spoons and the exposed pineapple were enough to make him lose his appetite.

But watching the little lady smacking her small mouth with a blissful expression, for some reason, he found himself wanting to taste this cheap snack that he would normally not even glance at.

“This one is mine.” Suddenly, he reached out, snatched the half-eaten Pineapple Rice from Chi Enen, and pulled it in front of him. He pushed the untouched portion towards Chi Enen, “You eat this one.”

“Um…” Chi Enen, looking baffled, gently reminded him, “I’ve already eaten from that one.”

Before she finished speaking, the spoon in her hand was domineeringly seized from her, replaced with the unused one.

She watched in amazement as the elegant man took the spoon she’d used and scooped a spoonful of the leftover Pineapple Rice into his mouth.

Upon tasting the Pineapple Rice, the frown on Li Beijue’s face relaxed.

Too sweet… he didn’t like overly sweet food. But it seemed much tastier than he had imagined.

His lips curved up pleasurably as he took another spoonful.. He glanced sideways at the dumbfounded little lady and prompted her, “Eat, why are you staring at me?”
