Chapter 70: The Foodie Tang Xi
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
The corner of Xiao Jing’s eyes twitched as he gave a blank smile, saying, “You just want to eat one more lobster, right?”
Tang Xi nodded and looked at Xiao Jing with a smile as she replied, “Jing, you really know me well.”
Xiao Jing opened the door of the car, got off and asked Tang Xi to wait for a moment. After a while, Xiao Jing came back and opened the door. Tang Xi got off the car only to find there was a crowd there, but no one took a picture of her with their phones. Upon seeing Tang Xi come out, many people walked away…
Tang Xi, surprised at the reaction of those people, walked up to Xiao Jing and whispered, “Jing, how did you do this?”
Xiao Jing gave a triumphant wink and took a look at the people around him before whispering in Tang Xi’s ear, “I told them that you have autism and are afraid of meeting strangers. We finally cajoled you out to eat seafood, and don’t want you to go back in vain. The people here are very kind.”
Tang Xi almost burst into laughter. Brother, you are really something!
Xiao Yao came up, put a hand around Tang Xi’s shoulder and shielded her as she walked toward the restaurant.
Xiao Jing glared at his eldest brother in jealousy but dared not say anything.
Sure enough, Tang Xi heard the surrounding people discussing them on the way…
“Oh, they are siblings. They really have good genes. Look how good looking they are! Especially the younger sister; she is not only beautiful but also has perfect skin.”
Another person said, “Unfortunately, she has autism.”
“Her brothers are really kind to her. They even make time to take her out to eat seafood and protect her so well.”
“I just heard from one of her brothers that she loves seafood, so they brought her here to enjoy some.”

“They’re really nice to their younger sister. Look, they’re wearing a brother-sister outfit. That’s really sweet.”
Tang Xi took a look at Xiao Yao’s clothes and was surprised to find that they were dressed almost the same. It was like they were wearing a couple’s outfit… She wore a light blue shirt and white short jeans, while her brothers wore white shirts and light blue jeans. What a coincidence!
No wonder everyone was looking at them! It was because of this!
“But don’t you think the person we just talked to looks a little familiar?”
“He looks like Xiao Jing…”
“Probably not him. I rarely see Xiao Jing dressed like this…”
Tang Xi thought about it. Well, Xiao Jing usually wore a suit at work… a very formal suit… She silently turned back to look at Xiao Jing and thought that he looked better being dressed like this. He looked so young in this outfit!
“But I think that iceberg man who is busy protecting his sister is the most attractive.” This excited voice was obviously from a little girl.
Another girl excitedly nodded and said, “Yes, yes. Even though he looks cold, he carefully shields his younger sister from any harm. Oh, I think I’ve fallen in love with him!”
“Damn! My heart is melting. Oh my god, that man is so handsome!”
“Yes, yes, the two other men are like his foil!”
Hearing this, Xiao Yao gave a faint smile and immediately someone began to scream, “He smiled. He smiled. That man smiled! He looks even better when he smiles! Ohh, I think I have a new dream lover!”
“Isn’t your dream lover Fang Yihang?”
“Ohhh, it’s so hard to choose between my Hanghang and this man!”
Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa exchanged looks again and decided that they would never go out with Xiao Yao again!
As soon as Xiao Sa entered a private room of the restaurant, he screamed, “Yao, you’re really in the limelight! Why don’t you move into the show industry now? I think you’re going to have a lot of fans. You’ve already made a lot of girl fans today.”

Xiao Jing snorted and nodded, saying, “Yes, you can do TV dramas. You don’t even need acting skills. You can seckill a lot of male stars with your face alone.”
Not bothering to listen to their nonsense, Xiao Yao took the menu and asked Tang Xi, “What do you want to eat?”
Tang Xi was a little excited to be in the limelight at the beginning, but upon seeing the menu, she no longer paid any attention to Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa. She took the menu and began to make her order. “Twenty crabs first, and then twenty lobsters, and octopus. Raw octopus! And…” Tang Xi took another look at the menu and found that there was no shrimp in scallion sauce available. Then she smiled and asked Xiao Jing, “Jing, you said I could eat whatever I wanted to eat tonight, right?”
Xiao Jing replied with a smirk, “Of course, I mean what I say.”
Tang Xi nodded, at ease. “Okay, then get me a shrimp in scallion sauce please!”
She then additionally ordered an abalone, handed the menu to Xiao Yao and said, “I’m done.” In fact, she didn’t like abalone very much, but she had already ordered her favorite dishes, so she just randomly ordered one more dish.
Xiao Sa asked, “You just want to eat lobsters and hairy crab, right?”
Tang Xi nodded. “Yes, these will be enough.” And then she said after a pause, “By the way, I only ordered my portion so you’ll have to order yours yourselves.”
Xiao Sa stared blankly with wide-open eyes in response to what she had ordered on the menu, and then asked, “Can you eat all of that alone?”
Tang Xi took a look at the time on her phone and nodded before replying, “It’s only six o’clock. It’ll probably take me five hours to finish the meal, but I’m afraid five hours is not enough!”
After all, she was not in good health and was so thin. Eating more would be good for her health.
The corner of Xiao Sa’s eyes twitched and he wanted to make a remark, but Xiao Yao had already started ordering food.
Xiao Jing hurriedly said, “Little sister, since you already have hairy crabs, lobsters, octopus, and abalones, forget the shrimp in scallion sauce, okay?”
Tang Xi immediately scowled. “No! I want shrimp in scallion sauce. It tastes great with hairy crab and lobsters!”
Especially when the fresh and tender lobster meat was served with the sauce of shrimp in scallion sauce, it tasted better than with the special sauce!
Tang Xi rarely demanded anything from them, so Xiao Jing knew she was angry when he saw the look on her face. He was about to say something, when Xiao Sa said, “Didn’t you say you meant what you said? Then get a shrimp in scallion sauce for Rourou.”
Xiao Jing made up his mind, stood up and looked at Tang Xi as he said, “Rourou, don’t worry. I’ll get you a shrimp in scallion sauce even if I have to cook it by myself!”
Tang Xi cracked a smile and nodded. “Jing, I’m looking forward to your shrimp in scallion sauce. Please get me the dish before the hairy crabs and lobsters are served.”
Xiao Jing cast a helpless glance at Tang Xi and suddenly felt that she was not cute at all.
Tang Xi seemed to have seen through Xiao Jing’s mind. She immediately opened a bottle of beverage for Xiao Jing, and handed it to him with a sweet smile, saying, “It’s hot outside. Please take a cold drink, Jing. Don’t get heatstroke.”
