Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted

Chapter 152: No One Ever Noticed These Minor Details

Auntie Lin had already finished cooking. She smiled when she saw Mu Sheng and Li Hanchen coming back together.

She could still recall the scary look on Li Hanchen’s face this morning and was still lingering in fear.

Auntie Lin knew Li Hanchen preferred spicy food and Mu Sheng liked her food light, so she always prepared food that suit both their palettes.

Mu Sheng looked at Li Hanchen as he placed the bright red food into his bowl and could not help feeling curious.

In her past life, she only ate bland nutrient solutions. Spicy food was banned from her diet.

The staff who took care of her kept reminding her that spicy food would damage her sense of taste, so Mu Sheng always avoided them.

However, Mu Sheng could not help feeling curious when she saw Li Hanchen eating the food calmly. Was it not spicy?

“What?” Li Hanchen turned his head and looked at Mu Sheng.

Mu Sheng pointed at the peppered stir-fried beef slices in front of Li Hanchen. “I want to try this.”

Li Hanchen took a pair of clean chopsticks and picked up a small slice of beef for Mu Sheng. She opened her mouth to eat it.

It tasted different from the usual food she ate. A spicy taste spread from the tip of her tongue throughout her mouth gradually, making it feel as though it was on fire.

She had to admit it tasted good and felt like a novel experience to her.

However, Mu Sheng had underestimated the strength of chili. After she swallowed the food, she realized this experience was only just starting.

Li Hanchen poured a glass of water and let Mu Sheng take a sip, but it was simply so spicy that she coughed a couple of times.

“Why is it so…” Mu Sheng stopped before she finished her sentence.

Li Hanchen was holding a towel doused in cold water and carefully wiping the sweat from her forehead. He was very gentle, and she could smell pine scent in the air as he moved his hand. It inexplicably helped to soothe her.

“Are you stupid or something?” Li Hanchen smiled. “No one eats chili straight up. You have to eat it with rice.”

Even though Mu Sheng did not have a penchant for sexy voices, she could not help sighing at how good Li Hanchen’s voice sounded.

It was husky, magnetic, and sounded particularly sexy when he was smiling slightly. For a moment, Mu Sheng did not know where to look.

“I am not stupid.” Mu Sheng instinctively retorted, “You are the one who is stupid.”

Li Hanchen changed the wet towel before he continued wiping Mu Sheng’s face and said slowly, “How am I stupid?”

“You don’t even like spicy food, but you eat it all the time.” Mu Sheng’s face was sweating from eating chili. She unknowingly leaned towards Li Hanchen since the cold towel felt good.

The moment Li Hanchen heard what Mu Sheng said, his hands froze briefly. He looked at her deeply. “How did you know I didn’t like spicy food?”

“I can tell.” Also, Li An once told Mu Sheng that Li Hanchen did not eat spicy food in the past.

Li Hanchen continued wiping the sweat on Mu Sheng’s face. “You are right. I don’t like spicy food.”

Li Hanchen only started eating spicy food many years ago. He simply did it to stay warm and not freeze to death when he was out in the snow.

From then on, people thought he liked spicy food, so the chef would always add chili to his meals. Since he got used to it, he did not bring up something as minor as this to the cooks.

All these years, no one had ever eaten with him, so no one noticed these minor details.

“If you don’t like it, then just stop eating it. Eating too much spicy food is bad for your stomach.” Even though it was tasty, she could sense her stomach burning from just a small bite of chili.

“Okay.” Li Hanchen narrowed his eyes as he contemplated.
