"I don't care." Saying this, Andrea Doria still accepted the candied hawthorn that Chuyang handed over.
"You pervert, don't touch my head."
Chuyang felt that Andrea Doria's words sometimes needed to be interpreted differently. Being called a pervert by Loli made it seem as if he truly had ulterior motives. But Chuyang swore he had no such thoughts. Firstly, Andrea Doria was far too young. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, little Kiddo's figure was quite flat.
However, it seemed that members of Italy's Black Hand generally didn't have impressive physiques. For instance, there was a certain Big Sister who was only about one meter thirty tall, and she was also flat-chested, perfectly illustrating the saying "How can one conquer the world with a flat chest?"
"Brother Chuyang, what is that? It looks really delicious," Firefly said, her mouth not stopping since entering the food street. She hadn't even finished swallowing the steamed cake in her mouth before drooling over a bowl of red meat at the nearby Snack Stand.
"Braised pork."
"Dongpo pork."
"???" Firefly looked confused at Chuyang and Lexington; their answers were completely different, and she didn't know whom to believe.
In fact, both Chuyang and Lexington were correct; the dish was both braised pork and Dongpo pork, just referred to differently in various regions.
"It looks so greasy; it must not taste good," Andrea Doria muttered. Although Andrea Doria had been in Rongcheng for over three years, the Zhang Rui family preferred lighter flavors and mainly ate vegetarian dishes. Therefore, she had never actually tried this local delicacy at Zhang Rui's home. As for eating out, did she have any money? She was a proud little girl who would rather suffer than lose face; aside from the money she earned from "working," she never accepted pocket money from Zhang Rui's family. So with her limited funds and her desire to save money for resources, Andrea Doria had indeed never tasted braised pork...
As the saying goes, trouble comes from careless words. The moment Andrea Doria spoke those words, she angered the Boss selling braised pork nearby.
"Little girl, you can eat whatever you want, but you shouldn't speak carelessly. How do you know it doesn't taste good if you haven't tried it? Come on, finish this bowl. If it doesn't taste good, I won't charge you."
"Oh, is there such a good deal?" Chuyang's eyes suddenly lit up. Lexington wasn't mistaken; her Admiral did seem a bit petty and appeared to love getting a bargain.
"Boss, you said it!" Regardless of whether it was good or not, he would ultimately have Andrea Doria say it was bad.
"Give it a try." Boss glanced disdainfully at Chuyang and directly placed four bowls of braised pork in front of the four people at the table. To Boss, he didn't care whether Chuyang was an Admiral! Anyone who dared to question his cooking skills wouldn't be spared, not even if the King of Heaven came. So Boss couldn't be bothered to waste words with Chuyang and just served the food.
"Can this really be eaten?" Andrea Doria poked at the bowl with her chopsticks; the greasy, red meat looked unappetizing.
"It can be eaten. Dongpo Pork looks fatty and greasy, but it's actually melt-in-your-mouth tender, rich yet not overwhelming, and tastes particularly delicious," Lexington explained while picking up a piece of meat to feed Andrea Doria.
"Be good, open your mouth."
Perhaps Lexington's explanation had an effect! Or maybe little Kiddo caught a whiff of the aroma. When Lexington's chopsticks reached her mouth, Andrea Doria simply closed her eyes and swallowed that piece of braised pork as if she were facing death.
After that, Andrea Doria didn't need Lexington to feed her anymore; she picked up her chopsticks and started eating on her own. Although her movements looked very ladylike—far from being the image of a glutton like Firefly—she seemed to devour the pieces of meat in her bowl even faster than Firefly would.
In the end, Chuyang didn't shamelessly make Andrea Doria say something she didn't mean. Under Boss's disdainful gaze, she obediently paid and left.
Next, they continued eating and drinking, making their way from one end of the street to the other. One couldn't help but marvel at the greatness of Chinese cuisine. With so many varieties and different cooking methods, there wasn't a single dish repeated along the entire street. But abroad, especially in Western countries, what kind of delicious yet affordable food could one find? Burgers, fried chicken, hot dogs, French fries...
By the end of it all, Chuyang truly felt a bit stuffed. As for whether Andrea Doria's favorability had increased, that remained uncertain. However, Lexington's favorability in Chuyang's heart had reached its peak. It seemed that this lady had no intention of leaving Chuyang any breathing room; throughout their time together, Admiral had shown her thoughtful side completely. She took care of three people—one adult and two children—perfectly well. Every smile and gesture was filled with feminine tenderness and maternal radiance. In any case, Chuyang was utterly captivated by Lexington and even developed thoughts about never letting Lexington down, though earlier she had been thinking about sisterly bonds...
Before sunset, Chuyang drove the three of them back to Harmony Villa, and Loli Andrea Doria's arrival naturally triggered Zhang Jianlin's disdain for Chuyang.
However, when it was time to sleep at night, Chuyang found himself in a dilemma.
"Hey! Admiral, aren't you coming out? We need to rest. You don't want to sneak a peek at Andrea Doria taking a shower, do you? You pervert!" Andrea Doria sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes warily watching Chuyang, who was still standing at the door.
"Andrea Doria, this seems to be my and Lexington's room! You and Firefly should sleep in the next room," Chuyang said with frustration. Last night, a delicate beauty lay beside him, and she was willing to let him do as he pleased. However, since Firefly was sleeping nearby, he could only watch helplessly, which was quite torturous. So today, after returning, Chuyang had cleaned up the next room early for Firefly. Now that Andrea Doria had returned as well, they were just right to keep each other company.
Yet, no matter how he stated it or hinted at it, not only did Andrea Doria refuse to budge, but even Firefly sat on the bed with a pitiful expression and wouldn't leave.
"Brother Chu Yang, isn't it better for everyone to sleep together?" Firefly's big eyes were misty. For little Kiddo, she had finally found Admiral; if she didn't stick close to him, what if he disappeared again the next morning?
"No way! The Admiral is a pervert; I don't want to sleep with him!" Andrea Doria directly rejected Firefly's suggestion.
"By the way, Lexington Sister, you shouldn't sleep with the Admiral either. I heard Zhang Rui say that men are no good and will hurt us," Andrea Doria said with a look of disgust. As for how men would hurt them, Loli didn't know; anyway, Zhang Rui had repeated this phrase in her ear more than once, so Andrea Doria believed it wholeheartedly.
