When the dishes were served, the "feud" between Shi Keke and Shi Mei came to a temporary end.

Shi Keke propped her chin on her hand, looking at the large plate of shrimp in front of her. She didn’t know where to start. Born with a fear of hard-shelled creatures but loving to eat them, she hesitated for a long time before moving.

The man sitting across from her, however, calmly picked up a shrimp from the plate and began peeling its shell.

Shi Keke watched him, carefully observing his hand movements, and silently noted the steps to peel a shrimp.

She didn’t expect him to serve her, because she had just sprayed him with tea. Although he didn’t say anything, his expression showed he was not pleased.

His elegant movements couldn’t suppress the violent aura emanating from him.

Watching him finish peeling a shrimp, Shi Keke thought he’d ask her, considering it was her first time being his woman, "Do you want to eat?"

Unexpectedly, he merely glanced at her indifferently and then raised his hand to put the peeled shrimp into his mouth.

Shi Keke was instantly dissatisfied, "Brother, have you heard of ’ladies first’?"

"Never heard of it." Shi Mei wiped his mouth with a napkin and calmly said, "It tastes pretty good."

The words sounded casual, like a compliment on the food, but were actually meant to provoke Shi Keke.

And Shi Keke knew his intention well. To not let him succeed, she casually replied, "The food here is indeed quite good," then naturally picked up a shrimp from the plate.

Only the heavens knew that when she touched the shrimp, goosebumps rose all over her body.

To hide her fear of such things from him, she fought hard to overcome it and began peeling the shrimp shell.

But whether it was because she wasn’t using the right method, or because she’d never peeled shrimp before, she tore off the shrimp’s head, then the body, leaving the shell intact.

Shi Mei watched her actions without a word. He neither mocked her nor intended to give her any tips, showing great interest as an observer.

Shi Keke, in the end, gave up on herself and put down the mangled "corpse" in her hands, wiped her hands clean with a napkin, and turned to the table beside hers.

"Handsome guy, do you know how to peel shrimp?"

She smiled seductively, her gaze melting the other party’s heart. The handsome guy, as if bewitched, nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Yes! I can peel shrimp, I’m particularly good at it!"

"Could you please..."

"Mmm!"

Before Shi Keke could finish her sentence, her mouth was stuffed with a whole shrimp.

The key issue wasn’t just the whole shrimp, but... an unpeeled whole shrimp!

She looked at the culprit, Shi Mei, raised an eyebrow, then suddenly stood up, walked over to him, and straddled his leg, using the most direct method to return the shrimp to him.

Just after she spat the shrimp into his mouth, she quickly stood up, intending to distance herself from him before he reacted. But she was a step too slow. Before she could take a step, he grabbed her hand.

Shi Mei merely pulled her slightly towards him, and she unexpectedly fell into his embrace. Then she heard the sound of dishes crashing, and he scooped her up by her waist.

She only felt a slight pain in her back, then he slammed her down onto the table with force.
