Chapter 72
She swallowed the lobster whole, then looked at Pei Chiyao and reached out her hand, saying, "I want to eat more!"
"Peel it yourself."
Pei Chiyao took a bite of the vegetables, ignoring Zhi Yao.
The next second, the little girl's face crumpled like a steamed bun, "I don't know how."
She tried to peel it herself, but for some reason, the lobster's shell was extremely, extremely hard. Zhi Yao struggled, her face contorting, but the lobster head remained motionless.
"Ouch!" Suddenly, Zhi Yao gasped and quickly withdrew her hand.
At the same time, Pei Chiyao immediately put down his chopsticks and pulled Zhi Yao's hand over, examining it carefully.
He had intentionally teased Zhi Yao earlier, as he had never seen a fox peeling shrimp before.
But he didn't expect her to be so clumsy that she could cut her hand just peeling a shrimp.
Fortunately, there was no bleeding.
Zhi Yao said aggrievedly, "That shrimp is so mean, it scratched me..."
Pei Chiyao: "..."
The little girl dejectedly snuggled up to Pei Chiyao, wanting to nestle in his embrace for comfort, but suddenly remembered they were surrounded by crew members and froze.
At that moment, the others had almost finished eating and were preparing to move to the KTV. They urged the director to ask Pei Chiyao if he wanted to join.
Pei Chiyao naturally declined. The actress looked at the aggrieved Zhi Yao sitting beside Pei Chiyao and thought she was feeling awkward sitting so close to him, so she promptly asked, "Yao Yao, do you want to come?"
Zhi Yao shook her head, "No."
If Pei Chiyao wasn't going, she definitely wouldn't go either.
The group then noisily left the private room.
Once they were gone, Zhi Yao relaxed, no longer needing to be discreet.
She glared at the shrimp resentfully, hugging Pei Chiyao's arm with both hands and pleading, "You have to help me get revenge!"
Pei Chiyao sighed lightly, patting his thigh, "Come here."
Zhi Yao happily sat on Pei Chiyao's lap, embraced in his arms, watching him peel the shrimp.
His hands were extremely handsome, with long fingers and a broad palm - even peeling shrimp looked like a work of art.
He would peel one and put it into Zhi Yao's mouth. The little girl ate them eagerly at first, but later she really couldn't eat any more, yet Pei Chiyao kept peeling.
"Enough, enough, I'm full!"
"Eat a bit more."
Pei Chiyao's eyes darkened.
He was somewhat entranced by this feeling...
Each time the little girl leaned in to take the shrimp from his hand, her tongue would accidentally brush against Pei Chiyao's fingertips, sending a tingling sensation that reminded him of when she was a little fox licking his fingers.
Finally, seeing Zhi Yao repeatedly burping, Pei Chiyao reluctantly stopped.
"Don't want any more?"
Zhi Yao immediately nodded vigorously - if she ate another bite, she really couldn't take it.
Pei Chiyao nodded, just about to reach for the wet wipes to clean his hands when Zhi Yao suddenly exclaimed as if she'd made a new discovery, "Wait, wait!"
The next second, Pei Chiyao's eyes widened in shock as he scolded, "Yao Yao!"
But Zhi Yao didn't seem to hear him.
She had actually... put his fingers in her mouth!
Instantly, the intense tingling sensation and warmth nearly overwhelmed Pei Chiyao.
Zhi Yao loved the taste of the sauce and Pei Chiyao's hands.
She had been wondering if the sauce on Pei Chiyao's fingers would taste even better.
She smacked her lips, savoring the flavor, "It doesn't seem... to make much difference."
The fox's mind was only on food, which was nothing new to Pei Chiyao.
"Does it taste good?" Pei Chiyao's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he looked at Zhi Yao, his eyes holding a raging storm.
Zhi Yao considered, then gave a middle-of-the-road assessment, "It's okay, I guess."
Just as the little girl was about to hop off Pei Chiyao's lap, the man grabbed her waist.
"What are you doing?" Zhi Yao was startled.
Pei Chiyao's voice was a bit hoarse, with a hint of seduction, "Baby, I have something even more delicious. Want to try it?"
More delicious?
Zhi Yao blinked, somewhat tempted, but...
She refused, "I can't eat any more."
After saying that, she felt a bit regretful. She couldn't help tugging at Pei Chiyao's clothes, feeling anxious at the thought of not getting to eat something so delicious, fidgeting restlessly on his lap, "Can you save it for me to eat tomorrow?"
Those words immediately tightened something in Pei Chiyao's lower abdomen.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his heart and body, and said smoothly, "You don't need to eat it, baby. Just a taste is enough."
Zhi Yao tilted her head, very puzzled, "But I feel like you're tricking me?"
The little girl finally realized something was amiss.
"Why would I trick you?" Pei Chiyao said persuasively. "If I tricked you, wouldn't this spoiled little thing ignore me for ages again?"
Zhi Yao was somewhat swayed, instinctively sticking out her tongue and licking her lips, overwhelmed by her craving.
This action made Pei Chiyao's eyes redden. "Let's go home."
He abruptly scooped Zhi Yao up, grabbed the cap he had been wearing earlier from the table, and pulled it down over the little girl's head.
Zhi Yao wrapped her legs tightly around Pei Chiyao's waist, burying her face in his shoulder, "Why are you walking so fast? I'm not in a hurry..."
He was in a hurry.
Although he still couldn't fully devour the innocent little thing, that didn't mean... there wasn't another way.
He really couldn't bear it any longer - he had to give this oblivious little creature a proper lesson.
Just as Pei Chiyao was about to open the car door, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He didn't want to answer it, but the ringing was like a haunting spell that even Zhi Yao couldn't ignore, saying, "Don't you want me to answer it for you?"
"No need."
He took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID - Xie Qinzhou.
Pei Chiyao hesitated, but Zhi Yao had already spotted those three characters on the screen.
The little girl exclaimed in surprise, "It's him, the one who made my birthmark disappear!"
Pei Chiyao looked at Zhi Yao, his voice chilling, "Made it disappear? How did he do that?"
His tone was so icy that it could have shredded Xie Qinzhou's heart on the spot.
Zhi Yao recounted the whole story to Pei Chiyao, complete with vivid gestures, "He actually crushed the jade stone that Sugar gave me into powder! He must have an insane amount of strength in his hands to pulverize it like that!"
Zhi Yao made an exaggerated "tsk" sound.
After she finished, the little girl looked at Pei Chiyao anxiously, "Pei Chiyao, will he send me to a lab?"
She was terribly afraid.
Pei Chiyao's expression softened slightly, "He wouldn't dare."
Then he asked, "He didn't touch you, did he?"
