Chapter 1525: Drank Wind Medicated Oil
Bai Qingqing also tugged Curtis’s clothes secretly, signaling for him not to drink recklessly with Daddy Bai.
Curtis was born to be a strong existence and had never been scared of anything. How could he possibly be scared of this cup of clear wine?
He patted the back of her hand under the table to console her, then picked up the wine cup again.
Bai Qingqing was really worried for Curtis. This wasn’t the grape wine she had brewed, and its alcohol content was many times higher than the grape wine. If Curtis were to get drunk, it wouldn’t be a fun sight to watch.
Bai Qingqing picked up some steamed fish with her chopsticks and put it into his bowl, putting on the pretense of a host being polite to their guest, smiling as she said, “Have some food.”
“That’s right, Little Ke, have some food. It’s easy to get drunk if you just drink. Hurry up and eat some food.” Mommy Bai also picked up some food and placed it into Curtis’s bowl. However, what she picked was the stir-fried beef slices dish.
One-third of the food in the stir-fried beef slices dish was beef, while the other two-thirds were dried facing heaven peppers. These things were so spicy that they’d burn one’s tongue till it started smoking up.
Bai Qingqing immediately felt great pity for Curtis.
“Erm… Brother Ke, do you take spicy food?” she couldn’t bear to watch Curtis suffer and asked.
Curtis took a look at his bowl, then at Bai Qingqing, and said, “I eat anything.”
As he said that, he picked up a piece of steaming beef slice covered in chili powder and stuffed it into his mouth.
Stir-fried beef slices were Bai Qingqing’s favorite dish, but she felt horrible when seeing Curtis eating it today.
Could his cool and sensitive tongue withstand the heat from the stir-fried beef slices?
Bai Qingqing stared at Curtis’s expression. As expected, she saw his chewing action paused, as if it wasn’t something he couldn’t accept. However, Bai Qingqing knew Curtis’s micro-expressions well and knew that he was in turmoil.
“Hehe, this dish is spicy. I’ll pour you some water.” As Bai Qingqing said this, she went off to pour a cup of cold water.
Mommy Bai threw her a strange glance, wondering why she was being exceptionally docile today.
After swallowing the dry and stimulating beef, Curtis felt as if his mouth was on fire. That fire kept on burning down his esophagus to his stomach. The flaming path only stopped when it was taken in by his powerful stomach.
Unable to wait until his mate brought him water, Curtis immediately chugged down a mouthful of wine.
When the cool wine entered his mouth, it undoubtedly added fuel to the flames. That kick to a snake beastman’s senses felt like how a human would feel when they drank a mouthful of wind medicated oil.
Curtis suddenly understood what “fear” was. He immediately swallowed the wine into his stomach as well, but he didn’t show a hint of suffering on his face.
“Have some water.” Bai Qingqing ran over and handed him the glass of water.
Curtis reached out to take the glass without a look, chugging the water down in large mouthfuls.
This ordinary action gave off a rapport as if they had been together for many years. At this moment, even Daddy Bai had a vague feeling that something was amiss between his daughter and Ke Di.
Only Bai Xiaofan was aware of what was going on and didn’t find this strange at all. He continued to enjoy the feast happily.
“Is it very spicy?” Mommy Bai asked worriedly.
Curtis’s face flushed a little. He held in the urge to flick out his tongue and said with a smile on his face, “It’s delicious.”
Mommy Bai couldn’t tell if he was speaking the truth but stopped putting food into his bowl. She said warmly, “I don’t know your preferences, so I won’t get food for you. Help yourselves to what you want to eat. Don’t stand on ceremony.”
“I won’t. I treat this place as if it’s my home,” Curtis said. However, there weren’t many dishes on the table he could accept, so it was hard for him to not appear polite.
Daddy Bai started chatting away after having drunk some wine. Between the food and drinks, he chatted away happily with Curtis.
