It had been many years since she had eaten spicy food. Yuan Shu realized that her tolerance for spicy food hadn't deteriorated. At least, she felt that the Hunan cuisine in front of her was acceptable. On the other hand, Shi Xiao ate very little, perhaps because it was too spicy and didn't suit his taste. Moreover, he drank water frequently. It was obvious that it was spicy for him, but he tried not to show it.
It was rare for Yuan Shu to see Shi Xiao not putting on airs. She was amused by him and couldn't help but say, "If you can't eat spicy food, we can order some other dishes."
Shi Xiao said with a frown, "No need."
Yuan Shu felt that Shi Xiao was really stubborn.
Shi Xiao changed the topic. "You said that you have something to tell me. What is it?"
After Yuan Shu put down her chopsticks and took a sip of tea, she cleared her throat and started talking about serious matters.
