Embracing the mindset that it was inevitable either way and he might as well get it over with, Bai Jiannan closed his eyes and began to chew. A bizarre flavor rippled across his palate, immediately followed by a fiery sensation that shot straight to his head like a lit firework.
But this sensation was also marvelous and thrilling. Since he had to wake up early today to see his sister's husband and Jianbei off to sea, he had been feeling quite drowsy. Stimulated by the spice, he was instantly wide awake.
The unique, fragrant spiciness of the chicken made him want to spit it out, yet he couldn't bear to part with the taste. Seeing Bai Suihe pick up a piece of chicken and pop it into her mouth, he forced himself to do the same.
Even though his mouth felt on fire, sweat beaded on his forehead, and his face flushed bright red from the heat, he forced himself to chew and swallow the chicken. "That really is a kick."
