He knew Wen Xuanyuan liked spicy food, so he thought he should learn to eat it too, so that their tastes wouldn't be too different.
Wen Xuanyuan's eyes sparkled when she heard him say it was delicious, and she couldn't help but push the rest forward.
Li Bowen opened his mouth and ate it without hesitation.
The spiciness filled his mouth, and he instinctively frowned. His throat burned, and tears welled up.
He chewed a couple of times and swallowed, his face turning red from the heat. The spiciness rushed up his throat, and he couldn't help but choke and cough twice.
It was then that Wen Xuanyuan noticed his abnormality, realizing that he might not be able to eat spicy food.
She quickly bought a bottle of water and handed it to him, saying anxiously, "You silly boy, why did you open your mouth if you can't eat spicy food?"
They had been together for so long, and every time they ate, Li Bowen always ordered dishes that she liked. She had assumed he could also eat spicy food.
Her personality was carefree, and she didn't pay much attention to details, so she hadn't realized it until now.
Li Bowen drank several mouthfuls of water, and he felt a little better, but his mouth was still burning.
He smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, baby. I want to try eating spicy food too, so we can eat together."
Wen Xuanyuan looked at him helplessly, feeling both pained and amused.
But when two people are in love, they accommodate each other. She could eat less chili in the future!
She pulled Li Bowen to the next stall.
This stall sold egg burgers. She asked the owner for two, one with ketchup and one with chili sauce.
She handed the one with ketchup to Li Bowen and then looked at him with eager eyes.
Sharing delicious food with the person you care about most is also a form of love.
Li Bowen dotingly patted her head and took the egg burger with his other hand, taking a bite.
It was a bit hot, but his mouth was filled with the aroma of eggs, the sweet and sour taste of ketchup, and a crispy exterior.
It was fragrant and delicious.
Wen Xuanyuan handed Li Bowen the stinky tofu she hadn't finished, playfully saying, "Hold this for me, I'll eat it later."
Then she started eating the egg burger in her hand, exclaiming, "So delicious" as she ate.
While eating, her eyes scanned for other delicacies.
She pulled Li Bowen and pointed to another stall, excitedly saying, "That one, that one is delicious, let's go there."
It was a stall selling glutinous rice.
Li Bowen was pulled along.
Wen Xuanyuan's eyes shone as she stared. She said to the owner, "Boss, pack one glutinous rice for me, with hot dog, shredded potatoes, egg..."
"Okay, do you want chili?"
"Just a little, not too spicy."
While waiting, Wen Xuanyuan finished the egg burger.
She took the glutinous rice roll and began to eat eagerly.
Her mouth was filled with sticky rice, sour and spicy shredded potatoes, and fragrant hot dog... the texture was amazing.
"Hold this for me, I'll eat it later." She handed it to Li Bowen halfway through.
Greedily, she stood in front of a wonton stall.
"Grandpa, give me a bowl of wontons, with shrimp and pork inside."
Li Bowen's hands were full. He followed her helplessly and said, "Can you finish all this later? So much."
"I'll finish it, and if not, I'll pack it to eat at home." Wen Xuanyuan stared intently at the old man cooking the wontons, salivating with desire.
Li Bowen could only sit down and eat the glutinous rice roll she hadn't finished.
When the wontons were cooked, Wen Xuanyuan brought them over and sat opposite Li Bowen. She pushed the wontons in front of him.
"You eat first, just leave a few for me to taste."
Eating such a large bowl of wontons would surely fill her up, and there were many more delicacies waiting for her!
She still wanted to eat grilled crispy rice paper, hot and sour noodles, braised pork belly, pan-fried buns, and octopus balls...
Li Bowen watched her gluttonous look and said with a smile, "You eat quickly, and give me the rest."
Wen Xuanyuan chuckled and unceremoniously moved the bowl back.
The wonton wrappers were thin and the filling was generous, leaving a lingering fragrance in her mouth! It was so delicious that she couldn't help but eat half a bowl.
But to eat more delicacies, she had to stop in time.
Li Bowen had just finished the glutinous rice roll when half a bowl of steaming wontons was pushed in front of him.
Before he could say anything, he heard Wen Xuanyuan say, "It's a bit hot, eat slowly. I'm going to buy some pan-fried buns from across the street."
Before long, Wen Xuanyuan returned excitedly. "This is so delicious, it's bursting with juice and pan-fried until crispy, super fragrant."
Li Bowen swallowed the wontons in his mouth, and seeing how happy she was, he couldn't help but curve his lips.
To his surprise, Wen Xuanyuan only ate three or four and then pushed them back to him.
"Put them here for now. I saw they're selling octopus balls over there. You must have never tried them, they're super fragrant!"
Li Bowen watched her run away like a gust of wind.
Looking at the pan-fried buns, stinky tofu, and unfinished wontons on the table, he inexplicably felt full.
"Here, try one. This is very delicious."
Li Bowen tilted his head, and a round, steaming fried ball was brought to his mouth.
There were only three octopus balls in a skewer, each one bite-sized.
He couldn't refuse the food brought to his lips, especially when he saw Wen Xuanyuan's sparkling eyes. All other thoughts disappeared.
Wen Xuanyuan ate two octopus balls and quickly set her sights on other delicacies.
"Have you eaten grilled crispy rice paper? Wait for me, I'll go buy some."
Li Bowen had just finished the wontons and was already too full to eat anything else.
Soon, Wen Xuanyuan returned with two skewers of grilled crispy rice paper.
She ate one skewer herself and handed one to Li Bowen.
Li Bowen couldn't bear to refuse her kindness, so he took it.
"After this, I won't eat anymore. I'm full."
Wen Xuanyuan's mouth was full of fragrance and lingering taste. She mumbled, "I know, I'll eat it myself."
While eating, she took out her phone and took several photos, sending them to Xia Wantang and Qiao Xinyue.
She bragged to them: It's so delicious, Li Bowen eats what I can't finish, and I'm going to eat the whole street today ₍˄·͈༝·͈˄*₎◞̑̑
Xia Wantang quickly replied with a drooling emoji, saying tearfully, "I want to eat too,呜呜... but Ling Yuchen won't let me."
Qiao Xinyue replied: You eat late-night snacks without me, humph, you don't love me anymore.
Wen Xuanyuan burst into laughter, finished her skewers in a few bites, and prepared to conquer other delicacies.
She pulled Li Bowen up and pointed to the distance, "They have starch sausages over there, let's go eat..."
Li Bowen smiled and nodded, "Okay."
He cleared the remaining food from the table and followed Wen Xuanyuan away.
Wen Xuanyuan ate two starch sausages and then set her sights on the luosifen stall next door.
Li Bowen's brows furrowed. What was this smelly stuff? Luosifen??
Wen Xuanyuan pulled him to sit down and ordered a bowl of luosifen with fried egg, duck feet...
Li Bowen's face was full of refusal, "You eat it, I can't eat anymore."
