Hearing Xin Xiaoxiao's remark, she hesitated with a spoonful of soup, unsure whether to put it back in the bowl or into her mouth.
The silent atmosphere suddenly became filled with intense awkwardness.
Qiu Yang paused his actions, lifting his eyes to look over at Xin Xiaoxiao.
Qi Helian quickly reached out, casually picked a crispy shrimp, and placed it in Xin Xiaoxiao's bowl, "Miss, just eat, this shrimp looks quite tasty."
Xin Xiaoxiao realized she might have gone too far earlier. She picked up the bowl again, took the spoon, and while scooping soup, said, "Actually, the taste should be not bad. I was just mistaken, thought it was chicken soup."
Clearly, it was vegetable tofu soup, mistaking it for chicken soup...
Could her lie sound any less convincing?
After filling the bowl more than halfway, she took a sip, then smiled and said to Qi Helian, "You haven't finished signing yet. After dinner, sign it for me."
