However, she had still burnt her tongue.

It hurt like hell.

Yan Zhiqing was in so much pain that she was still breathing deeply.

But she didn’t dare to open her mouth too widely.

Wei Wucai sighed helplessly and said, “Open your mouth. Let me check.”

Her mouth wasn’t opened widely, so it was hard to see her tongue. When Yan Zhiqing heard this…

When Yan Zhiqing heard what Wei Wucai said, she shut her mouth tightly instead.

She even covered her mouth with her hand.

Wei Wucai stared at her. He felt so helpless. “I asked you to open your mouth. Why did you close your mouth instead?”

Yan Zhiqing shook her head and answered, “The insides of my mouth don’t look pretty.”

She had only ever endured her embarrassment and opened her mouth widely when she was at the dentist.

“Is now the time to care about whether the insides of your mouth look pretty?” Wei Wucai said helplessly. “Just let me see how badly you burnt your tongue.”

Yan Zhiqing shook her head in a stubborn manner. “So what if you look at my tongue? It’s not going to make the pain go away.”

Wei Wucai was speechless.

She really made him feel so angry that he barely contained his temper.

Wei Wucai couldn’t help but nag, “Why were you in such a rush? You took a piece of cabbage from the boiling hot soup when you know how hot it is! Instead of blowing on it first, you shoved it into your mouth. Are you that hungry? You are an adult. How can you not know such basic knowledge?”

Yan Zhiqing retracted her head. She thought to herself, ever since she had gotten to know Wei Wucai better, she realized that Wei Wucai was perfect in every way, except that he nagged too much.

He was too good at lecturing people.

Once he started lecturing, he wouldn’t stop for a while.

“Of course I know that!” Yan Zhiqing mumbled. “It was because…”

“Because of what?” Wei Wucai hastily asked when he saw that she stopped halfway through her sentence.

It was because he had been staring at her and it made her feel very guilty. When she tried to hide this remorseful feeling, she became nervous and forgot that the food was hot.

If he hadn’t given her so much pressure, she wouldn’t have been nervous. She wouldn’t have tried to hide this nervousness by pretending to be busy eating, which resulted in her being burnt.

However, although Yan Zhiqing didn’t say a word about this, her facial expression had disclosed her every thought.

After all, Yan Zhiqing had been described by Wei Wucai as someone who could never hide any secrets and feelings from people she trusted.

Her face projected everything.

And now, Wei Wucai could tell what Yan Zhiqing was thinking.

Wei Wucai was so angry that he started laughing.

So she got burnt because she felt guilty, but she then blamed him for her tongue being burnt.

This was truly…

This girl was being very unreasonable!

“Oh my! I am hungry. I am not full yet!” Yan Zhiqing tried to change the topic. “I have been feeling hungry for a long time. I was suffering.”

When Wei Wucai saw that she was adamant not to show him her tongue…

He had no choice but to forget about it.

He went back to his seat and instructed Yan Zhiqing, “You better be more careful this time. Don’t burn yourself.”

“I got it,” Yan Zhiqing answered.

When she took more food, she did remember to blow on it.

“Eat slowly. It’s late now. If you eat too fast, there’s a high chance you will suffer from indigestion and you won’t be able to sleep,” Wei Wucai said.

“Okay.” Yan Zhiqing nodded while looking down.

She thought about how she had stopped Wei Wucai from lecturing her.

However, obviously, she couldn’t stop him from nagging. He found another topic to nag about.

“But can you eat so much at night?” Wei Wucai asked.

Yan Zhiqing thought Wei Wucai was worried that she might not sleep well after eating so much.
