"Alright, you two are enough. If you keep this up, I'm going to get angry!"
Du Fei pretended to be angry and glared at Liu Shishi and Liu Yingting in front of him.
Ever since the middle-aged woman and her daughter left just now, Liu Shishi and Liu Yingting had been laughing until now.
It turned out that the two of them had come out of the shop earlier and had witnessed the entire process of Du Fei being stopped by the middle-aged woman, who was trying to set him up with her daughter.
Just now, the two of them had even gone back and forth, imitating the conversation between the middle-aged woman and Du Fei, and then laughing uncontrollably.
This made Du Fei wonder if his girlfriend, Liu Shishi, who had always been gentle, had suddenly become a mischievous girlfriend, influenced by Liu Yingting.
"Haha, Brother-in-law, you can't blame Sister, it's all because of your charm. You probably didn't notice, but the look in that auntie's eyes, it was as if she was going to eat you up," Liu Yingting said with a laugh.
Looking at her, Du Fei didn't think she was praising him at all.
And Liu Shishi was also laughing heartily, covering her mouth with her right hand and holding her stomach with her left, clearly in pain from laughing.
As for Du Fei's threat that he would get angry, the two of them hadn't taken it to heart at all.
"Okay, okay, Tingting, that's enough. If you keep laughing, your Brother-in-law will really get angry."
After a few more minutes, Liu Shishi, who was tired of laughing, finally spoke.
Although Liu Yingting was nodding vigorously beside her, Du Fei could tell from her expression that the little girl was clearly not satisfied.
"Forget it, I'm magnanimous," Du Fei told himself. It wasn't worth getting angry with them for such a small matter.
Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Du Fei took the two beautiful women, one tall and one small, to find a place to eat.
After looking around, the three of them finally chose a Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot restaurant.
"Tingting, I remember you didn't used to eat much spicy food, right?" Liu Shishi asked Liu Yingting after they were led into a private room by the waiter.
Although Liu Shishi and Liu Yingting had the best relationship when they were young, Liu Shishi had been abroad for so many years.
She would return once or twice a year, but only for a few days before leaving again.
So Liu Shishi's impression of Liu Yingting's eating habits was still from many years ago.
"Sister, you don't know this, but now I'm a master at eating spicy food. Do you know about ghost peppers? I've even eaten those, hehe."
Hearing Liu Shishi's question, Liu Yingting proudly announced her glorious achievement.
Ghost pepper, a type of chili pepper originating from a country called Boruo, became famous online overnight and then completely took the world by storm, even being recognized as the spiciest chili pepper in the world.
Because its spiciness far exceeded that of ordinary peppers, many people who could eat spicy food felt proud of being able to eat ghost peppers.
Although Liu Shishi had never eaten one, she had heard of it online.
Hearing that Liu Yingting had even eaten ghost peppers, she couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
"Wow, Tingting, you're amazing! You can even eat ghost peppers," Liu Shishi paused, "But I absolutely wouldn't dare to eat them, and I need to state in advance that our hot pot must be a鸳鸯 pot. I can't handle just the spicy side."
Liu Yingting became even more delighted upon hearing this.
After all, she was still a child and naturally liked to compete with others. Feeling that she was better than Liu Shishi made her very happy.
However, her competitiveness was not driven by any ulterior motives; it was purely for fun.
"By the way, Brother-in-law, can you eat spicy food?" Liu Yingting asked Du Fei, who was standing nearby.
"Me? I can, and I think I can eat spicier than you."
To Liu Yingting's surprise, Du Fei's answer was completely unexpected.
Actually, Liu Yingting had just asked casually, because in her opinion, no matter whether Du Fei could eat spicy food or not, he was not on the same level as her.
But what she didn't expect was that Du Fei would tell her that he could eat spicy food, and even better than her.
Seeing Du Fei's confident, even slightly dismissive expression, Liu Yingting felt provoked.
"Oh really? I've never met anyone who can eat spicier than me in real life. Brother-in-law, since you're so sure, how about we have a competition?" Liu Yingting, challenged in her area of expertise, immediately wanted to regain her pride.
Little did she know that Du Fei seemed to have anticipated this.
"Okay, let's compete. But if it's a competition, shouldn't there be a prize?"
Liu Shishi nudged Du Fei with her elbow and shook her head at him.
In her opinion, Liu Yingting was just a young girl, and if she said she could eat spicy food, then she could. Du Fei, as an adult, shouldn't fuss about such things with her.
Du Fei nodded to Liu Shishi, indicating that he understood.
However, Liu Yingting saw all their actions.
Liu Yingting exclaimed, "Sister! What do you mean? Since Brother-in-law says he can eat spicy food, I'm determined to compete with him today. As for the prize, he can say whatever he wants. I definitely won't lose."
Seeing that any further attempt to stop her would be counterproductive, Liu Shishi simply stopped talking.
She did, however, find it strange. Why did Du Fei say he could eat spicy food just now, and even emphasize that he could eat spicier than Liu Yingting? This didn't seem like his usual way of speaking.
Du Fei and Liu Yingting decided to have a competition to see who could eat spicier food.
Afterward, they rang the bell and asked the waiter to bring them the spiciest soup base.
"What a coincidence, guests. Our hot pot restaurant has recently developed a unique soup base, made with secret ghost pepper ingredients. However, it's not for the faint of heart. Are you sure you want to order this spiciest soup base?"
When the waiter came in, he confirmed with the three of them.
Even though Liu Yingting had asked for the spiciest soup base, he still had to confirm, as some customers ordered impulsively.
If they couldn't handle it after it was served, the waiter would be criticized for any complaints.
"Is it made with secret ghost pepper ingredients? Perfect, we'll have this soup base. And please bring a white soup base on the side. Hurry, I can't wait to try your secret soup base."
Liu Yingting said, while glancing repeatedly at Du Fei next to her.
But Du Fei was talking to Liu Shishi, appearing completely unconcerned.
The more he acted like this, the more Liu Yingting's competitive spirit was ignited.
She couldn't wait to teach her Brother-in-law, Du Fei, a lesson and let him know that boasting had consequences.
