Jin Yu curiously waited for Xiaoming's answer on the soup that she had made. She saw him licking his lips as he put the ladle down. "I hardly eat spicy food, but this is delicious," Xiaoming said and picked up the chopsticks to hand them to Jin Yu.
"You do not need to eat it if it is spicy," Jin Yu said with a worried look.
"But I liked it. I have never eaten something like this," Xiaoming said and passed a smile to Jin Yu. He lifted the pair of chopsticks to eat and told Jin Yu that the royal food was usually not spicy and tasting something so different made his taste buds revive.
"You must be feeling bored eating the plain food of the palace. Why did you never tell me that you love spicy food more?" Xiaoming inquired her.
"The palace food is amazing for a person like me who used to eat plain food outside. But I am glad you liked this spicy noodle soup," Jin Yu affirmed, and they both started eating.
