"Don't bla him, Mo Shao. This kid must have had his head caught in the door when he went out just now and has no idea what he's saying," Qin Yi said with an awkward smile. This Liu Yiren, what a ss in her head. Willing to date just for food? Impressive.
Mo Wuji chuckled lightly, "No problem, Miss Liu is so innocent and lively; I like her personality very much."
"Hey, let's get this straight. Though you're quite handso, skilled in everything from music to calligraphy, knowledgeable in tea ceremony, an excellent cook, it's true. But don't actually fall for ; I don't want to squander myself just for a bite to eat," Liu Yiren said urgently, waving her hand.
Mo Wuji's mouth twitched slightly, smiling warmly, "Rest assured, Miss Liu, that won't happen."
"That's good to hear, you scared . When you praised just now, I thought you fell for at first sight."
Qin Yi was speechless, where does that confidence co from?
Mo Wuji's smile was a bit dry, feeling sowhat dismissed by Liu Yiren.
"Brother Qin, Miss Liu, please."
"Wow, did you make all these dishes yourself?" Liu Yiren's eyes sparkled as she looked at the table full of dishes.
Mo Wuji nodded with a smile, "I consider my cooking skills quite good, personally preparing dishes for guests shows sincerity."
"My goodness, these dishes have it all—looks, aroma, flavor—they're so exquisite. You put more thought into it than a girl would."
Mo Wuji's mouth twitched. Is this supposed to be a complint?
The three sat down, and Mo Wuji personally poured wine for Qin Yi and Liu Yiren, "This is Plum Blossom Wine I brewed by myself. Brother Qin has already tasted it. Miss Liu, please have a try, see if it suits your taste?"
"You also brew wine?" Liu Yiren asked, full of surprise.
"I learned from an experienced winemaker when I was young. I brew as a hobby when I'm free, nothing formal."
"Don't be modest. Among the people I know, you're the best, multi-talented, even Qin Yi can't compare. But in terms of looks, you're a bit less handso than Qin Yi."
Qin Yi felt awkward. This girl really knows how to get on one's nerves, but he let it go since she complinted his looks.
Qin Yi looked at Mo Wuji, nudged towards Liu Yiren with his mouth, and then pointed to his head. It ant that Liu Yiren wasn't in her right mind.
Mo Wuji silently smiled.
"Can we start eating now?" Liu Yiren was solely focused on the dishes in front of her, oblivious to Qin Yi's gesture.
"Of course, Brother Qin, Miss Liu, please."
Liu Yiren couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and started eating.
"Wow, this is so delicious! How are you so good at cooking, little brother? I feel like marrying you ho," Liu Yiren mumbled with a mouthful.
Mo Wuji almost choked on his own saliva.
Qin Yi knocked lightly on Liu Yiren's head and laughed, "Just eat your al, why so much talking?"
"Co on, little brother, I toast to you."
"Miss Liu, please."
The two clinked their glasses, and Liu Yiren downed her drink in one go.
"This wine tastes great, sweet with a plum blossom fragrance, not spicy at all."
Mo Wuji said with a smile, "If Miss Liu likes it, I'll prepare two bottles for you to take when you leave."
"Really? That's great, thank you, little brother," Liu Yiren said sweetly, then turned to Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, pay attention, see how generous he is."
Qin Yi: "..."
"Eat more, talk less; even eating can't shut you up."
"I can shut up; you talk among yourselves, I'll just eat," Liu Yiren said as her chopsticks flew to her mouth.
Qin Yi looked speechless, with her eating like a hungry wolf, people might think she was being starved at ho.
Mo Wuji looked at Qin Yi, "Brother Qin, I have to leave in a couple of days."
Qin Yi was slightly taken aback and then showed a face full of reluctance, "I've gotten used to your cooking these days. With you suddenly leaving, I really can't bear it."
"Welco to Yinfeng anyti. By the way, when will you leave? Have you set the ti? I'll buy so local specialties for you to take when you go."
Mo Wuji looked at Qin Yi with complex emotions of helplessness, frustration, and admiration.
Qin Yi felt a chill under Mo Wuji's gaze, feeling it was just too affectionate.
"Brother Qin's calmness is truly admirable," Mo Wuji said with a touch of helplessness.
Qin Yi was slightly stunned, "Why do you say so, Mo Shao?"
"Brother Qin, aren't you curious why I ca to Yinfeng City to find you?"
Qin Yi laughed secretly to himself, why? Finally, losing your cool?
"Mo Shao ca specifically to find ?" Qin Yi looked surprised, "I thought you were just traveling and happened to pass by Yinfeng City."
Mo Wuji sighed and smiled wryly, "Brother Qin, let's not beat around the bush. You are a smart man; you know I ca to Yinfeng specifically for you."
"Ah..." Qin Yi suddenly clutched his chest, his face changed dramatically, filled with pain.
"Qin Yi, what's wrong with you?" Liu Yiren was startled.
Mo Wuji's face also changed drastically, "Brother Qin, what's going on with you?"
Qin Yi stretched out his hand, his fingers trembling as he pointed at the table, "There's poison in the food."
"Ah?" Liu Yiren turned pale with fright.
Mo Wuji's face changed rapidly, summoning, "Impossible, I made the food myself; how could there be poison?"
"Then there's poison in the wine, and you're here to avenge Mo Buwen." Qin Yi said painfully.
"Impossible, why would I avenge him? He died..." Mo Wuji suddenly fell silent, looked up at Qin Yi, seeing Qin Yi's face was rosy with no sign of poisoning.
Qin Yi was acting, and Mo Wuji fell for it.
"Brother Qin, if you want to know anything, just ask. I promise not to hold back. Why bother with such a performance?" Mo Wuji said with a wry smile.
"You're really smart; you saw through it," Qin Yi said with a smile, the pain on his face quickly disappearing, "I just felt bad about Mo Shao leaving, so I wanted to lighten the mood."
Mo Wuji smiled slightly, thinking to himself: Who would believe that?
"Qin Yi, you weren't poisoned?"
Qin Yi nodded, "Nope. Are you stupid? If I were poisoned, could you still be bouncing around alive?"
"Oh, right." Liu Yiren nodded foolishly, then feeling sothing amiss, she got upset, "What's with your bad taste? I was so scared I almost tried to make myself vomit."
Qin Yi: "..."
"What kind of intelligence do you have? You think vomiting can detoxify poisoning?"
"I was thinking of making myself throw up the food I ate."
Qin Yi grinned, full of disdain, "You're really smart."
"I am smart."
Qin Yi was speechless, was I praising you?
Mo Wuji looked at Qin Yi, "Brother Qin, you didn't do this to lighten the mood, but to find out if I ca for revenge for Mo Buwen, right?"
"To be honest, I don't care to know. I have too many enemies to count, and even more people wanting to kill , so many I lose track. Whether or not you're here to avenge Mo Buwen doesn't matter to . I only put on a show to prove I'm smarter than you."
Mo Wuji: "..."
