one

Indeed. I shivered slightly and then focused my gaze on the eyes of the "Tengu," which were adorned with deep brown colored contact lenses. I gently touched the bell on my wrist, causing it to tremble slightly

He simply rubbed his ears, and in an instant, he became much more obedient, picking up a spoon to start eating the curry rice

In a reflexive manner, I swiftly snatched the cup of water from "Tian Gou" and hurried to the refrigerator to pour myself a glass of ice water, hoping to alleviate the burning sensation in my mouth

The detestable "Tengu"! He must be deliberately messing with me!

"Hey, skinny, who are you?" the "Heavenly Dog" asked rudely

With Huali Kong absent, how did we encounter such a strange guest

I angrily walked to the kitchen counter, preparing the "Tengu" curry rice. Just as I was about to serve it to him, a thought suddenly crossed my mind, and I came up with a great idea

The young man before me is simply a living embodiment of an aristocratic tengu

Are today's young men all so sharp-tongued

"Speaking of which, you are quite thin, yet you have a rather big temper." The "Tengu" propped his chin up with one hand while the other hand stroked his lips, staring at me for quite a while.

I swear, in my past life, I must have abused this "Tengu" before me, which is why God has granted him an opportunity in this life to infuriate me

The guest who slowly walked in through the door seemed to take my question lightly, remaining unresponsive for quite some time

Ahem, it seems that my voice has become a bit louder, my tone has become somewhat harsher, and my expression has become a little frightening

Chi Weiwei! I shouted into his ear.

The "Tengu" did not know which enemy it had encountered, glanced at the entrance of the curry restaurant, and then forcefully pushed open the back door of the curry restaurant and rushed in, not forgetting to put the sunglasses back on its face in the haste.

However, judging by his appearance, he is probably not a celebrity

I closely observed his every move, not even missing the small gesture of him licking his lips after finishing the curry rice

Hello! This is called slim! Do you understand what slim means!

Cough, cough. I snatched my bell back from Huali's hands and put it back on my wrist.

I cast him a glance, too lazy to answer his question

What does it matter to me that you love mildly spicy food

"What do you want to eat? Hurry up." I asked irritably

Is he joking with me? I have poured several spoonfuls of chili oil, yet he actually tells me that it tastes sweet!

Just as I was flustered and pouring water for him, I suddenly heard the innocent and pitiful voice of "Tian Gou" saying: "So... so sweet... so... so sickening.

Hurry up and leave after eating, I won't accept the meal payment, will that be alright

Ah? What is to be done?

It is truly a matter of life and death!

It is only slightly damaged, and it has been broken for quite a while. I mumbled, It cannot be repaired for the time being

Scoundrel! He ate without paying!

The "Tengu" turned its head, and upon seeing me, seemed startled for a moment, quickly retreating to create distance between us. Its startled demeanor was truly peculiar.

As I chewed slowly and deliberately, I immediately sensed a particularly intense flavor, akin to a raging fire that surged towards my throat, stimulating the root of my tongue.

What I detest the most is when someone dines and dashes. No matter how long your legs are, how developed your muscles are, or how fast you can run, I, Chi Weiwei, will definitely catch you!

Hello

sick of it

It is truly detestable! I should not have engaged in such a lengthy verbal sparring with him just now, which caused me to delay my important tasks. What a despicable fellow!

Wow! This figure is truly impressive

"What was it that we were eating...?" A sly smile flashed across his face

Important, very important

Just as I was eagerly anticipating his next reaction, the "Tengu" placed the spoon back on the table

Ah! Before I could react, "Tian Gou" began to wail while covering its own cheeks

"This little crystal bell must be quite important to you, right?" Huali Kong, seemingly unconcerned about my slight nervousness, looked at me and said with a profound expression.

So I rushed to the kitchen counter again, rinsing my mouth and spitting, and the spiciness finally diminished a little

Oh? Could it be that I added too little chili oil?

Cough cough

It was extremely spicy, yet they deceived me into thinking it was sweet, it must have been intentional

Ah, my ears! The "Heavenly Dog" turned around and exaggeratedly covered its ears

The depths of his pupils were very calm, without even a trace of ripples

Cough cough

Being slender also requires having a certain shape, doesn't it? With a figure like yours, resembling an airport, tsk tsk, I really don't know how you have the audacity to praise yourself for being slender

I felt a tightness in my shoulders, and only then did I realize that he was actually gripping my shoulders with both hands, using me to shield his body, while occasionally casting his gaze towards the glass window of the curry restaurant

Indeed, I have seen foolishness, but I have never encountered such extreme foolishness

But who would have thought that the fiery sensation not only did not diminish, but instead spread to the roots of my ears, causing me to involuntarily shed tears.

Please bring a mildly spicy curry rice, as I prefer it mildly spicy

The key is, if you want to hide, you must first conceal your face. Are you sure that someone who is a head shorter than you can help you successfully hide?

I suddenly felt my ears burning and my heart racing, my hands tightly gripping the hem of my clothes at my side, experiencing a sense of tension as if I were about to be caught doing something wrong

Ahem, do not misunderstand my meaning. The feathers I am referring to are neither the beautiful white bird feathers nor the dazzling peacock feathers that are ostentatious, but rather the garments made from the crow feathers that are said to be favored by the legendary Tengu!

Welcome, may I ask what flavor of curry rice you would like to order

By the way, the "Tengu" suddenly turned its face towards me

In a fit of anger, I decided to no longer endure it. At worst, I would not conduct this business deal today. After all, Hua Li Kong is not here today, so who should I be afraid of? I thought to myself with resentment.

The words of the "Tengu" are such that they do not cease until they astonish.

I had no choice but to patiently pull the corners of my mouth to present a warm image to the guests, smiling so broadly that my eyes were nearly invisible.

The "Tengu" pouted and straightened up, and that detestable mouth actually uttered another phrase: "Skinny as a rake"

"Hey, skinny, is this how you entertain distinguished guests?" The "Tengu" finally took off the sunglasses from his face, revealing a handsome and fair complexion as he leaned closer to me.

Of course, once I successfully used my squinty eyes to see the person approaching, I was suddenly jolted awake.

I placed the curry rice heavily on the table of "Tengu" and exchanged a glance with him

Hey! Stop right there!

A garment made entirely of feathers

My chest feels hot, and I can already imagine my face has turned blue from holding my breath

"Hey, are you really so spicy that your face is cramping up?" The "Tengu" stared at my face

The warm breath rushed towards my face, making it feel itchy. I took two steps back and pressed a finger against the "Tengu's" chest to prevent him from coming any closer

In this day and age, there are still people who dare to dine and dash

However, the attitude remains very good

He was wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses that nearly covered half of his face, his hair slicked back with gel, giving it an exceptionally shiny appearance. The long raven hair on his shoulders almost brushed against my face, and he was dressed in tight black pants, with a pair of polished black leather shoes on his feet

Could it be that he is rendered speechless by the spiciness?

Hurry up and eat

Seeing him huddled in a corner, clutching his jaw and looking quite uncomfortable, I felt a twinge of compassion

Ahem, perhaps he is not exaggerating; Huali Kong has mentioned that my voice is quite destructive

Last night I did not sleep well, probably because the God of Dreams thought my curry rice was simply too delicious, wishing for me to remain in my dreams as his proud chef

Hey! Why are you lying to me? I rushed back to table 11 where "Tian Gou" was, and slammed my hand on the table with a loud "bang".

I ... ...

Before I could finish my words, I felt my body being pushed aside by a force

Of course, I will absolutely not refrain from collecting the meal payment

At this moment, I hold my breath and remain silent. Because I suddenly realize that this guy seems to be very happy when he sees me angry, but I am not that foolish to fall for his tricks every time.

Oh dear, it hurts so much

He snatched the cup of water from my hand and drank it all in one go, then gasped for breath, his face flushed red

What did you just say your name is

If you have nothing you need, then I will go about my own business. If I cannot provoke you, can I not also avoid you

Calm ... ... Calm ... ...

Very sweet

Phew... it's a relief that he didn't continue to ask.

Seeing me expressionless, no longer furious, the "Tengu" seemed to find it uninteresting as well, and thus spoke seriously: "This is the first time I've encountered someone who can make curry rice so sweet; it's simply nauseating, it's too terrible to eat.

If he gets stunned by the spiciness, I will be in trouble

Without a second thought, I picked up a clean spoon from the side and scooped a spoonful of rice from the untouched portion into my mouth

Calm ... ... Calm ... ...

What?

I was just about to say something when, unexpectedly, "Tian Gou" suddenly stood up abruptly from his seat

I truly want to pry open this fellow's head to see what kind of nonsense is packed inside, to think that he would use someone as seemingly petite as I am as a shield compared to him

How can you tease my appetite like this

However, he did not react at all

"Hey, you skinny thing, how about I give you an autograph?" The "Tengu" crossed his legs, as if he were truly a big-name star.

I continuously inhale and exhale, reminding myself not to engage with this rude "Tengu" before me

The "Tengu" picked up a spoon and scooped a large spoonful of brightly colored curry rice, preparing to bring it to its mouth

No need! I said word for word, "I disdain your signature! Also, I am not called 'Skinny'! I have a name, I am called Chi Weiwei!"

The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, leaving me speechless. Is this guy's reflex arc growing in reverse? The speed of his taste response is rather sluggish, isn't it?

A wave of pain surged through the palm of the hand

What is rare is that this guy has finally stopped calling me skinny and scrawny, as that name is truly unpleasant

I stared in astonishment as he dashed out of the back door of the curry house, belatedly realizing a problem.

I was continuously washing the dirt off my hands by the faucet, and because I was worried about getting my crystal bell dirty, I took it off and set it aside, not expecting that Huali Kong would see it

Has he encountered a rival in love?

Are you sure that the boy in front of you, dressed in an extraordinarily eye-catching manner, is here to eat at the curry restaurant

I am the boss here

Of course, the above is purely personal delusion and should not be taken seriously

"Your face is the one that is cramping." I replied irritably

The "Tengu" scrutinized me for quite some time from all angles, and finally reached a conclusion: "This is the first time I have seen a boss dressed so shabby."

"Alright, a guest is coming, let me attend to the guest first," Hua Li Kong said, "I am taking a leave today, so I will leave now"

Little did I know that the "Heavenly Dog" would not let me off the hook, but rather, it walked over to the side table with a sense of pride, leisurely sat down, and looked at me with a provocative gaze

Oh, very well. Then I shall sample your culinary skills

Hmph, detestable "Tengu", now you will have something to worry about!

A wave of heat rose from the top of my head, and I felt as if I had just emerged from a sauna, my whole body burning with warmth

Really... ? ... What kind of guest is this, to be so rude to the boss and so arrogant?

He seems to have a strong aversion to me

"The way you stick out your tongue really resembles a husky that I've doused in chili sauce," said 'Tengu' with a snap of his fingers, grinning widely.

Chi Weiwei, how is it that there is a small crack on your crystal bell?

I am infuriated, I am infuriated

"Hey, let go of me quickly." I struggled in dissatisfaction and successfully freed my shoulder from the grip of "Tian Gou." "Hey, are you out of your mind? Don't you know how to respect girls?"

You ... ...

I scooped a spoonful of chili oil with a spoon and evenly sprinkled it over the curry rice. Then, feeling it was not enough, I added three more spoonfuls. Finally, to avoid being discovered by the 'Tengu', I poured some very enticing coconut milk on top. Now it was finally unnoticeable.

"Hello, are you alright? Would you like me to get you a glass of water?" Seeing him with one hand propping up his cheek, looking as if he couldn't speak, I felt a deep sense of having gone too far

Clang

From time to time, he secretly took off his sunglasses and stole glances outside the glass window of the curry restaurant, resembling a big star afraid of being surrounded by paparazzi

The key point is, isn't Huali Kong's gaze just too beautiful? My bell has only a very small crack, which generally goes unnoticed by others except for myself, yet I didn't expect Huali Kong to notice it immediately
