“What does she mean by sleazeball?” Jun Shiyan looked at the young lady’s flustered back view and frowned as he asked Chen Mo this question.
“I don’t know.” Chen Mo was speechless. He wanted him to understand what was trending among young people and what they were saying. However, he was disobedient. He deserved to not understand. He deserved to be tortured by anxiety.
Ling Sheng had ordered the most famous local hotpot. The delivery man arranged the ingredients and hotpot neatly before leaving politely.
The two of them had ordered portions for two people. The 2-in-1 pot included a spicy broth and a clear soup broth. She ate from the spicy broth, while the Third Master ate the clear soup broth. When Chen Mo walked over, a set of cutlery was missing.
Ling Sheng ran to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, but she realized that the bowls and chopsticks were in the top cabinet. Unfortunately, she was not tall enough. Her arms could not reach the top, so she stood on her tiptoes to try.
Behind her, the man suddenly pressed himself against her. His warmth spread through her, and her heart raced.
He was standing behind her. He was very tall, a head taller than her. She looked up slightly and smiled as she called out softly, “Third Master.”
Her big sparkling eyes seemed to be saying, Help me.
Jun Shiyan smiled slightly, his eyes full of affection. Suddenly, he grabbed her waist and lifted her up.
Ling Sheng had thought he would do it directly, but he had picked her up instead. Her face flushed instantly. When she reached out to take the bowls and chopsticks, the man suddenly leaned close to her ear and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m not gay.”
Ling Sheng’s hand shook, and she nearly dropped the bowls and chopsticks. Her heart raced, and her face flushed red. She did not know how to react.
“If you don’t believe me, you can check.” Jun Shiyan was very serious. When he heard the young lady’s racing heart, his smile deepened.
It seemed like he should really keep up with the times in the future and see what young people were talking about. Otherwise, he would not understand them.
He had checked and realized what that meant. Brother Mo had actually slandered his pride as a man.
Chen Mo watched as the duo walked out one after another. The young lady’s face was even redder than the cooked prawns he had made in the past. He asked, “What were the two of you doing in there in secret?”
Ling Sheng let out a low cough, her voice tense as she said, “We were getting the dishes.”
This was the first time Jun Shiyan had seen the young lady act so shy. He glared at Chen Mo and warned him not to spout nonsense again.
Chen Mo shrugged. That’s unreasonable. The young lady was fine when she entered. What does that have to do with me? You caused this yourself!
The conversation stopped there. If she continued speaking, Ling Sheng felt that she would have to find a hole to hide in. When she thought of the man’s low, sexy voice, which was so seductive that it could make one’s legs go soft, and the way he’d explained seriously by her ear, her blood heated up.
Chen Mo blanched the spinach and picked it up for Ling Sheng. However, Jun Shiyan interrupted him halfway and said in a low voice, “She doesn’t eat spinach.”
Chen Mo took a look at Ling Sheng. Spinach was the most commonly blanched vegetable. It was uncommon to not eat spinach at all. His sister did not eat it either. He asked, “You don’t eat vegetables, only meat, right?”
Ling Sheng shook her head. “I just don’t eat spinach. Don’t you think spinach smells weird?”
Chen Mo did not think so. “What does it smell like?”
Ling Sheng could not help but feel disgusted. “It just has a stinky smell. It smells like a public washroom.”
In the past, she used to eat spinach. However, due to the original Ling Sheng’s health condition, she had found eating spinach unacceptable.
Chen Mo looked at her in amazement. “You’re like my sister.”
