When she saw that he was really a little angry, the girl’s little face also fell. She spat out her tongue, turned around, and left dejectedly. Su Yan didn’t say a word the entire time, nor did she look at Wei Zhou. She just sat there and ate leisurely.
After finishing the last skewer, Su Yan opened her bag and took out a packet of tissues to wipe her mouth. Then she took out a mirror and reapplied lip gloss.
Just as she was about to call the waiter for the bill, Wei Zhou threw the majority of the beef slices into the pot. Then, he stirred it with his chopsticks. The man looked at her and asked, “How long will it take to be ready?”
Su Yan curled the corners of her lips and looked at Wei Zhou pitifully. She felt that he was also quite miserable. First, he almost vomited from the smell of the roasted pork loin, and then he just watched her eat. From the beginning to the end, he only ate the few pieces of beef rolls that she had picked for him.
“In ancient times, when people ate shabu meat, they would use chopsticks to hold it and roll it in the pot three times before eating it. But the quality of the meat back then was good. Now, we have to wait until all the pieces of meat turn gray before we can eat it,” Su Yan said a few more sentences, which was rare.
Hearing her words, Wei Zhou took out a piece of beef from the pot and asked, “Like this?”
“No, can’t you see that there are still traces of blood on it?” Su Yan shook her head.
Wei Zhou put the beef back into the pot and continued to cook it. Under Su Yan’s guidance, he was smart enough to know how to cook it after learning it once. At the very least, he knew to when it could be eaten. This was a breakthrough for him.
Seeing that the man was eating happily, Su Yan picked up her bag and said, “I’ve already paid the bill. Take your time to eat. I’m leaving first.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Wei Zhou grabbed her wrist and said, “Wait for me. I’ll go with you.”
Wei Zhou chewed on the meat in his mouth while looking at her seriously. There was a firm expression on his face.
Su Yan raised her eyebrows and said, “You’ll go with me? Do you know where I’m going?”
Wei Zhou didn’t say anything. It wasn’t easy for him to swallow the scalding meat in his mouth. However, he held Su Yan’s wrist tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
Su Yan felt that her wrist was in some pain from being grabbed, so she struggled with all her strength. However, the man’s grip was so tight that he couldn’t break free. Su Yan frowned slightly and said, “Let go!”
Wei Zhou pointed at the boiling hot pot and said, “After you finish eating with me, I will go with you. It’s still early. Even if we go to the police station, we still have to wait for Lawyer Guo.”
After tasting a few slices of instant-boiled beef just now, he had started to accept these delicacies. He felt that they weren’t as bad as he had imagined, and there was nothing unhygienic about them.
Su Yan tried again, but she still couldn’t break free. She was a little angry, but she didn’t want to cause a ruckus, so she could only sit back down. “Let go. I’ll eat with you, okay?”
Sure enough, Wei Zhou let go and looked at her red wrist. Su Yan was angered. “I forgot to tell you just now. I didn’t use public chopsticks when I picked up the meat for you.”
Wei Zhou, who was scooping up the meat from the pot, glanced at her and said indifferently, “It’s okay. I don’t mind at all.”
Hearing this, Su Yan was even more dejected. She felt as if she had kicked a sponge. She had clearly used all her strength, but the damage she had done to him was zero.
There was a reason to why she mentioned using chopsticks. Not long after they got married, at the request of Wei Zhou’s mother, Wei Zhou rarely went home for a meal. When she saw that her man was willing to come back for a meal, Su Yan was both happy and nervous. For the first time in her life, she forgot to use public chopsticks when she picked up food for her man. In the end, Wei Zhou threw the entire set of bowls and chopsticks, together with the wine glass, into the trash can and asked his mother to go to the kitchen to get a new set.
Although Wei Zhou didn’t say a word, Su Yan would never forget that look of disdain and disgust in his eyes. Even now, she still felt a pang of heartache when she thought about it. Wasn’t it just because he didn’t use public chopsticks to pick up food for her? Did he have to throw away his bowl and chopsticks?
Looking at the man wolfing down food, Su Yan sneered and said, “Mr. Wei, didn’t you say that these things aren’t hygienic and aren’t meant for people to eat? Why are you eating them yourself?”
Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Wei Zhou only looked at her and didn’t say anything. When she thought about what happened in the past three years, Su Yan’s mood became very bad. This was also why she wanted to keep a distance from Wei Zhou.
Su Yan crossed her arms and watched Wei Zhou eat. Although the two of them had not had a real married life for a day, it didn’t prevent her from understanding this man.
Wei Zhou was naturally high-maintenance and noble. He was very picky about what he ate, what he wore, and what he used. On the morning of the second day of the wedding, Wei Zhou’s mother, Zhong Cuiping, took out a thick notebook and asked her to memorize Wei Zhou’s preferences, habits, and some of Wei Zhou’s taboos.
