Chapter 118: Crazy Substitute Literature
The air around was very quiet.
Su Qi's dark eyes followed Shi Li's hand.
The moment she took it back, she drooped in disappointment.
But he is a very patient hunter. He will never alert the prey until he is sure it has fallen into the trap. He will only take his time.
"It seems the kitchen made your favorite spicy crayfish today."
He glanced at the housekeeper nonchalantly, then smiled and said to Shi Li, "A reward for your hard work."
"Wow! Really?" Shi Li's eyes were as bright as two 1,000-watt light bulbs, "Su Qi... you are so nice!"
Su Qi remained silent and continued to smile.
However, the pressure was put on the housekeeper and the kitchen staff who knew nothing about it.
Hmm...how can we quickly make spicy crayfish that is delicious and tasty?
this is a problem.
After the kitchen received the Ele.me order sent by the housekeeper, the chef in charge almost collapsed on the spot.
Sometimes, adults collapse in an instant.
But when I think about the money needed to support my whole family, and the much higher salary here than outside, and how I have a lot of free time here...
The chef clenched his fists and stood up again without hesitation.
After a period of chaos that outsiders could not imagine, a pot of spicy crayfish with good color, aroma and taste was served to the owner's table.
The rich fragrance instantly attracted Shi Li's full attention.
She first looked at the red, steaming crayfish with greed, then swallowed her saliva with restraint, turned her head and looked at Su Qi eagerly, "Is this a reward for my good work performance?"
Su Qi took a sip of red wine elegantly, nodded and smiled, "Of course, it's all yours."
including me.
Shi Li let out a restrained yet cute cheer and began to peel the shrimps skillfully.
After peeling the first whole lobster meat and just about to put it into his mouth, Shi Li suddenly thought of something.
Then, she picked up the chewy shrimp meat with chopsticks and reluctantly put it on Su Qi's plate.
"Give it to me?" Su Qi was slightly surprised.
Shi Li had already started peeling the second crayfish and nodded seriously, "Yes, it's a reward for the boss. Who told you to be so considerate of your subordinates?"
Really... have a clever mouth.
Su Qi looked at the girl's lips opening and closing next to him. The smile on his face grew brighter and brighter, until it became almost weird.
But before Shi Li looked up and noticed, he restrained himself again and turned into the familiar gentleness.
"Thank you for the compliment."
He picked up the shrimp meat and brought it to his mouth. He glanced at Shi Li with his eyes shining with light. His tone was soft and slow, like the whisper of a lover, "I... will keep trying."
How can you be so teasing?
Shi Li looked up blankly, forgetting even to peel the crayfish, and only looked at Su Qi.
He acted as if he didn't see it. He bit the rosy crayfish into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it. At the end, he even raised his head with a sense of satisfaction.
The delicate Adam's apple rolled slightly.
Shi Li's face suddenly turned red.
In order to cover up her gaffe, she carelessly stuffed the almost peeled crayfish into her mouth, but ended up choking on the chili oil. She turned her back to Su Qi and coughed loudly.
Su Qi: ...
He put down his chopsticks, quickly stood up and walked behind Shi Li to pat her back gently to help her calm down. At the same time, he poured her a glass of water and waited by the side.
Shi Li coughed for a long time before she calmed down. She took the cup of water from his hand and drank it in small sips.
Su Qi saw that her whole face, including her ears, was red, and her eyes were watery. She couldn't tell whether it was because of shyness or the spiciness.
Wu Chen's eyes rolled slightly, and Su Qi asked with concern: "Is the crayfish too spicy today?"
When Shi Li was drinking water, she almost choked and raised the cup to hide her guilt.
How dare she say that she was choked because she was having dirty thoughts while looking at him? How shameful!
Woohoo, I don’t want to eat spicy crayfish anymore!
She had just finished saying this the previous second, and the next second Shi Li found a peeled crayfish on her plate.
"It's only courtesy." Su Qi put the last piece of shrimp shell into the bone dish and wiped his hands calmly.
Shi Li: Okay...the crayfish is innocent, we have to eat it!
With a strange and complicated mood, Shi Li finished most of the pot of crayfish. In the end, he hissed from the spiciness and drank several glasses of ice water in one breath.
"It's too spicy. I can't eat it anymore." Shi Li blinked innocently and said to Su Qi.
But she didn't know that Su Qi's gaze had been quietly lingering on her rosy lips, and would always move away casually just before she noticed.
