Gu Bailu didn't know if it was love, but Lu Fenying would suffer for it.
That night, Lu Fenying ate mapo tofu, poached fish in chili oil, spicy chicken… There wasn't a single dish that wasn't spicy.
Lu Fenying glanced at the food. He knew that Southern Glory Empire's food was more flavorful, so he didn't make a fuss.
He picked a dish that didn't seem spicy and took the first bite. It was spicy, but still bearable.
However, the more he ate, the hotter it became. When he put down his chopsticks, his mouth was on fire.
There was no water at night, only steeped tea. He could only drink that, which did make him feel much better.
However, his stomach hurt terribly in the middle of the night, and he couldn't sleep at all because of the strong tea. He could only endure the pain and go to the lake in the cold wind.
He knew that Gu Bailu was behind this.
All the spicy dishes and the tea were things he abstained from.
