My Childhood Sweetheart Gradually Puffed Up CH.47
Chapter 47: Red-Crowned Dumplings
About an hour later.
After wrapping the dumplings, there were some wrappers and filling left. Wen Yu said, “I’ll cook the dumplings, you put these in the fridge.”
Fu Chengque finished and returned to the living room to watch TV, waiting for the dumplings to be ready.
As the dumplings boiled, Wen Yu noticed something unusual in the pot—
In a pot of light green dumplings, there was one showing a red color!
What’s going on?!
Wen Yu carefully picked up this dumpling and examined it. Through the semi-transparent dumpling wrapper, he could see the minced meat inside showing a reddish color, and he could even smell a hint of spiciness.
Wen Yu suddenly realized.
Fu Chengque, oh Fu Chengque, even when you’re playing a prank, you should have some common sense. Dumplings become transparent after boiling…
Without making a fuss, he continued cooking.
But when plating the dumplings, he decorated the plate with this entirely red dumpling on top.
“Here they are~”
Wen Yu floated out with a large plate.
“Wow! Dumplings, dumplings!!”
Fu Chengque jumped up excitedly, “I’m starving, I’m starving.”
The next moment, she froze.
“What’s this?”
“This plate of dumplings has a name, it’s called ‘Red-Crowned Dumplings’, how do you like it?”
“Uh, not bad, not bad…”
Wen Yu sat down with a smile, distributing chopsticks and dipping sauce to Fu Chengque.
“Don’t be shy, come sit down and let’s eat.”
“I don’t really feel like eating dumplings right now.”
“How come? You love dumplings the most. Here, this red one is for you.”
Fu Chengque’s face instantly turned sauce-colored.
She held the chopsticks in her hand, not placing them down nor picking anything up, repeatedly. She carefully observed Wen Yu’s expression several times, then sneaked a glance at the road leading to her home. Upon seeing the tightly closed gate of the Wen family’s residence, she immediately put on a dying expression, then looked around in all directions, her gaze finally landing on Wen Yu’s unchanged face and the door of the bathroom, spinning around incessantly.
“Fu Chengque, we’ve been busy all night, aren’t you going to eat?”
Wen Yu pretended to be angry.
“Well… Wen Yu, I want to eat the green ones.”
“You’ve been doing well recently, so you should eat red ones to complement your achievements.”
“No, no, you should—let me eat the green ones!!”
Before she finished speaking, she quickly reached out to grab another dumpling.
Wen Yu quickly intercepted, “Finish the red ones first!”
Chopsticks clashed, wrists pressed against wrists, the two of them fought without reservation.
“You scoundrel! You’re bullying me!”
“You’re trying to harm me!”
“What does it have to do with me if the dumplings turn red?! Let go!”
“You dare to start something but not finish it? You still want to be an Empress with just this? Eat it!”
Fu Chengque suddenly stopped.
Saying she dared to start something but not finish it was fine, but saying she couldn’t be an Empress, no way!
“I’ll eat it!” she said forcefully, breaking free and looking defiant. “I’ll eat it all on the spot, without changing my expression!”
“Go ahead!”
Fu Chengque’s face was calm, but her heart was in a panic. Trembling, she picked up a dumpling, her expression complex. “Eat eat eat, I really love dumplings too much…”
Tears streamed down her face.
She took a bite.
BOOM!!
It felt like she had bitten into a bomb.
The dumpling was like a bomb, exploding as she bit into it, flames shooting out instantly, intense spicy air bursting into her mouth and nose. What’s more terrifying was that there was soup in the dumpling, a fusion of hot soup and chili essence, spreading through her mouth towards her tongue in an instant…
Fu Chengque screamed in agony.
“So spicy, so spicy!!!”
She rushed to the kitchen, gulping down water frantically.
“Hahaha…” Wen Yu’s triumphant laughter echoed from behind.
***
Actually, dinner was quite enjoyable this time.
Initially, Fu Chengque was both spicy and angry, but after seeing the milk handed over by Wen Yu, the spiciness and anger dissipated.
As she ate the dumplings, she comforted herself: Wen Yu’s sneak attack was indeed cunning, but the attack failed. She’ll choose another day to fight again.
This wasn’t a sneak attack, it was a move by the Empress. Could that be called a sneak attack?
At night, they were in their respective bedrooms.
Fu Chengque was unwilling, holding her phone and starting to spread rumors.
【Queen’s First Harem】(5)
【Fu Chengque】: Challenged super spicy dumplings today, succeeded!
【Fu Chengque】: Wen Yu is such a coward, doesn’t dare to eat at all.
【Fu Chengque】: I’m way ahead of him in this aspect.
【Fang Ling】: Chengque, having dumplings tonight? We have guests at my house, plenty of fish dishes.
【Fu Chengque】: [Crying cat][Crying cat]
【Fu Chengque】: Waaah, why didn’t you say earlier, what should I eat with Wen Yu, it’s so miserable for me.
【Xiao Gua】: What happened, what’s going on?
【Fu Chengque】: Wen Yu bullied me.
【Lu Min】: Another childhood sweetheart incident? Spill, I’m all ears now.
【Fang Ling】: Kind of get it.
【Wen Yu】: Evidence, a half-red chili-filled dumpling, made by someone herself, and got herself into trouble.
【Lu Min】: Hahaha, I get it now. Chengque brought it on herself.
【Fang Ling】: Haha, that’s what happened.
【Xiao Gua】: Chengque, if Nie Xueling bullies you, I’ll definitely stand up for you. But if it’s Wen Yu bullying you, then it’s not so easy to deal with…
Fu Chengque threw her phone aside, angrily punched her pillow, feeling like she had suffered a big loss today.
After a while, her phone buzzed.
She picked it up and saw a message from next door, from Wen Yu.
【Wen Yu】: [Image][Image][Image][Image][Image]
Fu Chengque’s face turned completely red as soon as she opened it.
【Fu Chengque】: When did you take these photos?!
【Fu Chengque】: Delete them!!
【Wen Yu】: [Sleeping cat]
【Fu Chengque】: Aaah!
【Fu Chengque】: I’m going to shark you right now!
Those string of pictures were exactly the photos taken while eating dumplings just now.
Apart from the half-red oil dumpling, there were also pictures of Fu Chengque drinking water hastily, fanning herself because of the spiciness, tears in her eyes, and drinking milk.
They were all taken by Wen Yu without her noticing.
Aaah, this is terrible.
Fu Chengque said she was going to shark Wen Yu, but her body didn’t move. She buried her head in the pillow, sinking in forcefully.
The thought of her photos being stored in Wen Yu’s phone made her ears burn and her heart race.
Would Wen Yu see them?
Whenever he scrolled through his phone gallery, he would see her photos, several of them, in various poses, very close.
This feeling was embarrassing, strange…
***
Next door, Wen Yu.
Wen Yu appeared natural, exactly as Fu Chengque had guessed. After sending the photos, he didn’t go to sleep but actually looked through them again.
He sent the secretly taken photos to Fu Chengque as a kind of inquiry. If Fu Chengque really came over, he would delete them; if not…
Then he’d keep them.
Wen Yu turned off the screen and played with his phone.
“Broken phone, why do you have her photos stored…?”
“Wow, the river has changed its course after thirty years, haven’t you?”
He smiled, turned off the light, and lay down.
Suddenly, a melody popped into his head, making him hum:
***
Wait until the next dawn,
Can you give me the photos you secretly took of me watching the sea?
I like my flying hair,
And the gaze whether it’s raining or looking into the distance…
