Chapter 85: Qin Mufeng’s Eyes Were Hooked on Jiang Xun

After Jiang Xun got into the passenger seat, Mufeng also got into the driver’s seat, then started the car and drove off. Chengnan, who was still standing at the entrance of the company and waiting for the bus, silently cursed his inhumane boss.
Mufeng took Jiang Xun straight to a Chaozhou restaurant in the Qinyang Hotel.
Jiang Xun had never eaten dishes from Chaozhou before. As she sat in the restaurant and looked through its menu, she decided to order every single one of the dishes.
“Miss, our porridge comes in a big pot. Even if the two of you share it among yourselves, both of you will have to eat at least four bowls each,” the waiter said. “You ordered four pots, so you might not be able to finish it.”
“It’s okay, I can finish it. Just order what I ordered,” Jiang Xun said with certainty.!!
“As you wish.” If the customer was going to insist on this, the waiter could only follow her instructions.
Mufeng had seen Jiang Xun’s appetite in the live broadcast, but he had never seen her eat in person before.
And so, upon seeing Jiang Xun order so much, he didn’t stop her.
This restaurant’s specialty was a variety of seafood as well as some Cantonese-style stewed and stir-fried dishes. However, Jiang Xun’s favorite dish was still the shredded chicken and fish maw porridge.
The fish maw had been treated so that they did not taste fishy at all and had been cooked until the texture was gelatinous. The porridge was golden in color, and the thick porridge water enveloped the rice grains. The amount of shredded chicken and fish maw was also especially abundant.
In Jiang Xun’s opinion, it was better than the crab paste porridge, dried scallop shrimp porridge, and pigeon porridge.
However, the fish maw was too thick, causing Jiang Xun’s lips to become sticky with every mouthful. She subconsciously licked her lips until the fish maw on her lips was licked clean, and only then did she continue eating.
Mufeng watched as she unconsciously licked her lips. His throat felt like it was on fire and extremely dry. He called the waiter over and ordered a glass of iced plum juice.
When the waiter brought the plum juice over, he gulped the entire glass down in one go.
Jiang Xun was shocked. “Are you that thirsty?”
Mufeng cleaned away the sweet and sour taste of the remaining plum juice on his lips. He realized that his throat was still very hot and even his gaze became fiery as he fixed his gaze on Jiang Xun’s lips.
His eyes were deep and dark, and there seemed to be a pitch-black flame in the depths of his eyes. In the end, he could only let out a hoarse grunt, which confused Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun’s lips twitched uncomfortably under his gaze. For some reason, her face was burning up. Her lips in particular felthot, and even her breathing became heavier. She even felt almost short of breath, somehow.
This feeling was just like…it was just like the feeling she had when she was on the balcony at Jiang Yuexi’s birthday party.
“Two more cups of plum juice! And add more ice!” Jiang Xun said to the waiter.
Mufeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his eyes hooked onto Jiang Xun. “You’re thirsty too?”
“Yes.” Jiang Xun nodded, her throat feeling dry.
The waiter brought two more cups of plum juice. Much like Mufeng, Jiang Xun gulped down the juice in one go. A drop of plum-colored juice flowed from Jiang Xun’s lips to her chin, and then slowly traveled down her throat.
The color of the plum juice on Jiang Xun’s jade-white neck was particularly eye-catching and alluring.
Mufeng’s breathing tightened as he watched, and his gaze became increasingly hot and deep.
Jiang Xun hurriedly put down the cup. Just as she was about to wipe the drop away, Mufeng leaned over first, holding a wet towel in his hand.
At this moment, the drop of plum juice had already nested in the indent where Jiang Xun’s collarbone was. Using the wet towel, Mufeng pressed it onto her collarbone to stop the plum juice from continuing down any further. Then, he wiped the area up her neck and all the way to her lips, wiping the trail of juice away.
Jiang Xun didn’t know why Mufeng’s hand was so hot. The coolness that the towel had left behind felt as if it had been ironed away as soon as Mufeng’s fingertips touched her skin. She could also feel the heat from his hands through the wet towel, as if there was no towel at all.
Everywhere he went, his fingertips seemed to burn her skin.
Jiang Xun took in nervous breaths. Her lips trembled slightly and were slightly parted.
Mufeng then folded the towel so that the clean part was facing upwards and wiped off the remaining fruit juice on her lips. “Next time there’s something on your lips, wipe it away with the towel.”
A scene like that would definitely attract someone, but Jiang Xun was oblivious to it.
“Okay.” Jiang Xun wasn’t really listening to what Mufeng was saying, instead focusing on the movements of his hands. His movements were so gentle, as if he was dealing with something fragile. He was treating her like her lips would break if he exerted more force.
Jiang Xun stopped eating, which was a rare sight for her. In a trance, she focused on Mufeng’s Mufeng’s fingertips brushing against her skin.
It was only after Mufeng paid the bill that Jiang Xun came back to her senses. “Didn’t we agree that I would treat you?” she asked.
Mufeng paused for a moment, as though he had just come back to his senses. His well-defined forefinger tapped the space between his brows as a low chuckle came out of his throat. “I forgot about that out of habit. Next time, you can treat me again.”
“I’ll have to treat you twice, then.” Jiang Xun nodded.
Originally, she had invited him to dinner to express her gratitude, but in the end, Mufeng was the one who had paid for the meal, so she had to treat him again.
A smile flashed across Mufeng’s face, and he nodded. “Okay.”

After that, the two of them got into the car, and Mufeng sent Jiang Xun back to Beijing University.
The car stopped outside the campus gates. Just as Jiang Xun was unbuckling her seatbelt, Mufeng took a big bag from the back seat. “Take these back and eat them.”
Jiang Xun accepted the bag and opened it to see that it was full of snacks.
Usually, Qin Muye, his little sister, would also sit in his car. She liked to snack on things, so Mufeng would always keep around some snacks in his car.
Today, he was replenishing his stock of snacks when he suddenly thought of Jiang Xun.
She probably liked to eat too.
Therefore, apart from buying some of Muye’s favorite snacks, Mufeng also bought some snacks for Jiang Xun.
“I don’t know what you like to eat, so I bought all the different kinds of snacks I could find.”
In the darkness of the night, there was only the streetlamp at the school gate and the glimmer of moonlight shining into the car. Mufeng’s warm voice, which sounded as if it was smiling, was clear in the silence of the car. “Try them, then tell me which ones you don’t like.”
He wouldn’t buy them next time.
Jiang Xun looked at the snacks in a daze, dumbfounded. “Thank…Thank you,” she muttered. She got out of the car, and Mufeng watched as she carried the snacks into the school gate before he left.
At that moment, Muye had just come back from dinner with her friends and narrowed her eyes at Mufeng’s car.
“What are you looking at?” Tan Mo asked while chewing on some shredded squid.
“Why does the car in front look so much like my brother’s?” Muye narrowed her eyes. As Mufeng’s car drove further away, it became harder and harder for her to recognize it.
“You must be mistaken,” Ming Yeqing said gently. “If your brother came to Beijing university, he would definitely come looking for you, but he didn’t contact you, right?”
