Chapter 202: Hot Pot
Chapter 202: Hot Pot
Ye Fei had always teased Mu Zujin since they first met, but now it was the other way around.
His heart couldn't help but pump rapidly, especially the way she pronounced it while displaying a lovely and stunning face.
For such a long time, Mu Zijin's attitude towards anyone has been indifferent.
Particularly considering that every time he saw her, she had no makeup or a designer bag or even jewelry. With that, Ye Fei was aware of how entirely unique she was from other women.
Though in any case, Mu Zijin's attitude towards most people was very ordinary and it was easy to become friends with her.
Ye Fei knew this since he and Mu Zijin met on WeChat for the first time.
However, it is quite challenging to capture her attention or even to pursue her.
Even if Ye Fei and Mu Zijin got along well, there would only have been positive feelings between the two over time. That is, until Wan Kun showed up and provided Ye Fei the opportunity to take advantage of the predicament and save Mu Zijin's best friend from a potentially fatal situation.
Because of it, their relationship has undergone a qualitative change.
Otherwise, Ye Fei really didn't know when he would be able to take that step with Mu Zijin.
It can only be said that by chance, the two came together.
What's more, this was the first date between the two after confirming their relationship.
Originally, Ye Fei wanted to tease Mu Zijin throughout the whole camping trip, so how could he let his woman tease him easily?
So, facing Mu Zijin's clear autumnal eyes, Ye Fei smiled and said, "Speaking of which.."
"What's the matter?" Mu Zijin smiled.
Ye Fei continued, "Guo Xiang still continued to like Zhang Sanfeng, and decided to start a school in order to capture the attention of the emperor in order to grant her a nobility title, right?."
"Mhm, yes." Mu Zijin nodded her head lightly, of course she knew this.
"After Guo Xiang founded the school, she became more interested in helping her students and forgot all about her crush. Though in the story, Zhang Sanfeng has not fallen in love with another woman this whole time, accompanying his master in a journey to overwrite the emperor's rule. Yet at the end of the story in volume 12, Guo Xiang who has firmly left a mark in the country's history with a school with brilliant scholars and raising it to a prestigious height, memories of her first love overflooded her and she began thinking about Zhang Sanfeng and where he went."
Mu Zijin's beautiful eyes revealed brilliance.
Then Ye Fei continued, "In a river, with trees swaying in the background, Guo Xiang with a depressed expression sat on the riverbank and felt empty. When all of a sudden, a bush rattled and she saw him. Zhang Sanfeng stood there, staring at her when he said, 'You are still just as beautiful as I remember'."
A poignant story with them meeting in a river, how fitting.
"That is how it ended. What are you trying to say?" Mu Zijin tilted her head, blinking repeatedly, not understanding why Ye Fei decided to talk about the story's end.
Ye Fei looked directly at Mu Zijin's eyes with a straight face, "I want to say that we should cherish the people in our life. So, I'll take advantage of this moment and say we shouldn't consider marriage to be so far in the future."
Hearing such a bold declaration, Mu Zijin couldn't help blushing and smiling.
This bad guy!
He decided to tease her once again, and this time, using the story's end!
Ye Fei laughed then took Mu Zijin's little hand and hugged her halfway, as he was surprisingly well-mannered, and he did not act excessively by accident.
But even so, Ye Fei could still feel his partner's feminine curves. Mu Zijin wore thin clothing despite the fact that it was the beginning of winter as she practiced martial arts year-round and, combined with her outstanding physical condition, wasn't concerned about the cold.
As the two began closing the distance between each other, Mu Zijin could feel Ye Fei's powerful heartbeat, making her face dye in a red hue.
At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
'Cuckoo~'
Ye Fei froze for a moment, and then realized that Mu Zijin's stomach was the one who made the noise.
"Don't laugh!." Mu Zijin turned to face Ye Fei and looked at him with a little annoyance.
While talking for so long, she couldn't help feeling hungry.
With such a fortunate opportunity, Ye Fei still hadn't moved when Mu Zijin suddenly smiled weakly and protested with a pitiful expression, "I'm hungry~. "
She spoke with an obvious coquettish tone.
"Then let's eat. Afterwards, we can watch the stars together in the evening, and then see the sunrise together tomorrow morning," Ye Fei smiled.
These words made Mu Zijin's eyes turn to full of tenderness for an instant, as she whispered softly, "That's good."
She looked forward to this very much.
In fact, all she wanted from a relationship is very simple. She wanted someone to accompany her to watch the stars and the sunrise, and nothing more.
After their intimate hug, Ye Fei picked up the small, already-made, self-heating hot pot. When he opened it, the two were struck by the pot's breath-taking fragrances.
With a smile, Ye Fei took a pair of chopsticks. What's more is how he only had one pair, which made Mu Zijin blush as she realized what Ye Fei wanted to do.
Since there is only one pair of chopsticks, didn't it mean that she and Ye Fei had to share a pair of chopsticks?. Wouldn't that be an indirect kiss?.
Mu Zijin felt a little bit overwhelmed and looked at Ye Fei.
"You eat first", he said while handing the chopsticks to Mu Zijin.
Mu Zijin didn't think too much about it and began eating the small hot pot food, the taste was extremely good. Whether it was beef, kelp, or the lotus root, all of them were delicious.
She also took the initiative to pick up a pair of steaming beef slices and feed Ye Fei.
Ye Fei took a bite and remarked with a smile: "It's not bad, it doesn't seem to be a wasted purchase."
Soon, one whole box of self-heating hot pot was eaten quickly.
Mu Zijin was worried as she asked, "Are you full?."
"I haven't eaten enough yet." Ye Fei casually shrugged.
After learning martial arts, his appetite has become bigger. This small box of hot pot wasn't enough for him at all.
"Would you like another box?" Mu Zijin asked softly.
"Don't worry, I'll eat something else first."
"What is that?,"As Mu Zijin asked in concern, Ye Fei pulled her to her side to then directly kiss her on the lips.
Mu Zijin's eyes widened in surprise before instantly closing them once more. Her quivering eyelashes and reddened cheeks indicated how intimate the situation was at the time.
Due to her lack of familiarity with kissing, Mu Zijin's movements as she attempted to exact revenge were awkward.
But Ye Fei finally got what he desired and experienced the flavor he had long yearned for.
Then, Ye Fei lets go of Mu Zijin who was panting heavily, then he looked at her and said, "It tastes very good, this is nothing comparable to the hot pot."
Mu Zijin's cheeks turned redder. Who knows if it was caused by the heat of eating hot pot just now, or by Ye Fei's kiss?
For now, Mu Zijin knew her heartbeat was pumping rapidly, and her cheeks were shining like a warm winter sun.
Ye Fei smiled once more,"Now let's eat another box."
Mu Zijin turned her head away from him. But Ye Fei opened the box of small hot pot again, and soon the atmosphere became fragrant again.
