After a few rounds of drinks, the dishes on the table had been mostly consumed. At that moment, Le Yao Yao suddenly remembered the Stinky Tofu she had just bought.
Originally, she had planned to take the Stinky Tofu home to eat, but now she thought it might not taste good once it got cold. So, she picked up the portion wrapped in oil paper and walked over to open it.
As soon as the oil paper was unwrapped, a strong odor quickly filled the entire deck. Leng Junyu and Nangong Junxi both frowned at the smell, while Nian Sulan covered her nose with a handkerchief, her eyes reflecting her distaste.
Nangong Junxi was the first to be unable to bear it any longer and exclaimed, “I say, Piglet, this Stinky Tofu really stinks!”
“Stinky Tofu wouldn’t be called Stinky Tofu if it didn’t smell!” Le Yao Yao shot him an unimpressed glance, feeling somewhat speechless at his comment.
Hearing this, Nangong Junxi's handsome face flushed slightly, and he bit his lip but chose not to respond further.
Meanwhile, Dongfang Bai looked at the golden-brown pieces of Stinky Tofu in the oil paper, sprinkled with plenty of chili and scallions. Although it had smelled terrible at first, after a while, he realized it wasn’t so bad after all.
Curiously, he sniffed lightly and then looked at Le Yao Yao with his striking deep black eyes, asking with intrigue, “So… how does it taste?!”
“Hehe, Brother Bai, do you want to give it a try?! Actually, Stinky Tofu smells bad but tastes delicious!”
Seeing that Dongfang Bai seemed intrigued, Le Yao Yao eagerly encouraged him to try it. She understood why Dongfang Bai and Nangong Junxi would be so dismissive of Stinky Tofu.
After all, for young masters like them, born with a silver spoon in their mouths, everything they usually consumed was the best. They looked down upon such unappetizing and seemingly dirty snacks, which held no nutritional value for them.
So now, when they saw the Stinky Tofu, it was no wonder they were so disdainful.
Le Yao Yao thought to herself and picked up her chopsticks to take a piece of Stinky Tofu and eat it.
As she ate, her delicate little face displayed a look of sheer satisfaction, as if she were savoring the most delicious food in the world.
Seeing this, Dongfang Bai's curiosity was piqued. Noticing how much Le Yao Yao was enjoying it, he also picked up his chopsticks to grab a piece.
However, instead of eating it right away, he first lifted it to his nose and sniffed it. His handsome brows furrowed slightly. Before he could even bring it to his mouth, Nangong Junxi exclaimed in surprise.
"Bai, are you really going to eat that? What if it makes you sick!?"
Nangong Junxi's concern was understandable; after all, he had never tried Stinky Tofu before and only found it repulsive.
If it weren't for Le Yao Yao buying these things, he would have tossed them off the boat long ago.
Now seeing Dongfang Bai about to eat it made him gasp in alarm.
Le Yao Yao couldn't help but roll her eyes at Nangong Junxi's exaggerated reaction.
This man was truly making a fuss over nothing; it was just a piece of Stinky Tofu, not poison. Was it really worth his concern?
Le Yao Yao scoffed inwardly at Nangong Junxi while turning to face Dongfang Bai with a radiant smile.
"Brother Bai, you have to try this! I'm not lying, the Stinky Tofu actually tastes pretty good!"
Hearing Le Yao Yao's words and seeing her hopeful gaze, Dongfang Bai couldn't help but smile slightly before responding calmly.
"Alright, I'll give it a try."
With that, Dongfang Bai slowly brought the Stinky Tofu to his mouth with his chopsticks.
Nangong Junxi, who was watching from the side, widened his Peach Blossom Eyes in surprise, and then curiosity began to fill his gaze.
"Bai, how does it taste?!"
Seeing Dongfang Bai elegantly chewing the Stinky Tofu in his mouth, Nangong Junxi couldn't contain his impatience and immediately asked.
Meanwhile, Le Yao Yao was also waiting eagerly for Dongfang Bai's response, her face full of anticipation.
As Dongfang Bai met the questioning gazes of both Nangong Junxi and Le Yao Yao, a graceful smile suddenly blossomed on his refined face as he said,
"Well, it really does taste quite good!"
Upon hearing Dongfang Bai's words, Le Yao Yao's Beautiful Eyes immediately lit up, her Red Lips curving into a smile that revealed her pearly white teeth as she exclaimed,
"I told you so! How could I be wrong about something I recommended?"
With that, she picked up her chopsticks to grab a piece of Stinky Tofu for herself, intending to take a bite.
However, just as she managed to pick it up, someone swooped in and ate it before she could.
"Hey, can't you grab your own?!"
Seeing that the person who had eaten her Stinky Tofu was Nangong Junxi, Le Yao Yao gritted her teeth in anger.
This damned guy, wasn't he just making a face of disgust a moment ago?! How could he now be fighting with her over it!?
Men's hearts are as elusive as needles in the ocean!
As Nangong Junxi ate the Stinky Tofu, he looked at Le Yao Yao's furious expression and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Well, Bai was right; this Stinky Tofu actually tastes pretty good!"
After saying this, Nangong Junxi seemed to think of something and turned to Leng Junyu, who had been silent all along.
"Senior Brother, would you like to try a piece? This Stinky Tofu may not be a delicacy, but it's quite fresh to eat occasionally."
While eating, Nangong Junxi spoke to Leng Junyu.
However, before Leng Junyu could respond, Le Yao Yao, hearing Nangong Junxi's words, was taken aback for a moment and immediately blurted out without thinking.
"The prince wouldn't eat this kind of thing!"
After saying this, not only was Le Yao Yao stunned, but even Leng Junyu sitting across from her was taken aback.
After all, Leng Junyu hadn't thought about eating the Stinky Tofu just now. However, hearing Le Yao Yao's confident statement made his cold eyes flicker for a moment.
Meanwhile, Nangong Junxi, surprised by Le Yao Yao's comment, asked curiously.
"You’re not Senior Brother; how do you know he wouldn’t eat it? Senior Brother, what do you think?!"
To Nangong Junxi's question, Leng Junyu merely responded with a soft "Hmm," and then, under Le Yao Yao's astonished gaze, picked up a piece of Stinky Tofu with his chopsticks.
"Cousin Yu, are you really going to eat that? It looks so unsanitary; you shouldn't eat it!"
Seeing Leng Junyu's actions, Nian Sulan was taken aback.
After all, even though she hadn't seen Leng Junyu for five years, they had grown up together as childhood friends.
Moreover, Nian Sulan had a good understanding of Leng Junyu's personality.
She knew that he was very picky about food; if it wasn't the best, he wouldn't even touch it.
So why was he eating this food that had no nutritional value?
With that thought, Nian Sulan felt puzzled.
However, what scared her more was the possibility of Cousin Yu eating something bad and getting an upset stomach, so she intended to stop him.
But Leng Junyu ignored her words and coldly glanced at the surprised Le Yao Yao before putting the Stinky Tofu into his mouth.
Watching the expressionless man eat the Stinky Tofu, Le Yao Yao's gaze was fixed on his face, as if afraid to miss something.
Yet, nothing happened throughout.
Because the "Living Hell" remained calm while eating the Stinky Tofu.
His unperturbed face made it impossible to guess what he was thinking inside.
What surprised Le Yao Yao, however, was that the "Living Hell," who had always been so picky and held such a noble status, would actually eat something he found utterly disgusting.
What was it that made him curious to eat, or was there another reason?
However, while Le Yao Yao was lost in her thoughts, she had no idea what Leng Junyu was actually thinking.
It turned out that he liked this particular dish, and he had taken note of it...
After everyone had eaten their fill, the sky had grown quite dark.
Yet, along the banks of West Lake, the small stalls were bustling with business. From a distance, the sounds of laughter and raucous voices could be heard, clearly indicating that someone was drunk and causing a commotion.
Meanwhile, on the boat, Le Yao Yao and her companions had just finished their meal and felt no hint of drowsiness.
Especially sitting on the deck, with the cool evening breeze brushing against them, it was incredibly pleasant.
At that moment, the waiter had already cleared away the remnants of their meal from the table and replaced it with a pot of fine flower tea and an assortment of wines, fruits, and snacks.
Having just eaten to her heart's content, Le Yao Yao felt too lazy to move. She leaned back in her chair with her round belly showing satisfaction on her face.
She looked like a cute little cat that had just eaten its fill, evoking a sense of affection from anyone who glanced her way.
Seeing that Le Yao Yao was full, Dongfang Bai couldn't help but pick up the teapot and pour her a cup of flower tea, presenting it to her.
"Here, have a cup of tea to soothe your throat!"
"Thank you, Brother Bai."
Noticing Dongfang Bai's thoughtful gesture, Le Yao Yao turned to him and smiled.
Sitting opposite Dongfang Bai and Le Yao Yao, Nian Sulan was currently pouring a cup of floral tea for Leng Junyu. With a gaze as gentle as flowing water, she fixated on Leng Junyu's proud and cold face, her words dripping with sweetness, as if they could coax water from stone.
"Cousin Yu, have some tea! Drinking alcohol is too harmful to your health!"
Nian Sulan's tone was soft, laced with an unmistakable concern that made it clear to anyone listening that she had feelings for Leng Junyu.
Upon hearing Nian Sulan's words, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but lift her beautiful eyes to glance across the table.
She noticed that, at some point, Nian Sulan had moved closer to the living embodiment of death itself.
At that moment, Nian Sulan held the teacup in one hand and leaned her frail body toward the living embodiment of death.
Her posture was incredibly alluring.
