He chewed twice before swallowing, and had just opened his mouth to say, "Good..."
He hadn't finished the word "eat" before the spiciness turned his complexion red hot. He hardly ever touched chili peppers and naturally couldn't handle the mala crayfish, which was reputed to be better the spicier it got.
He immediately grabbed his cup and took a big gulp of water to ease the burn.
Yu Zexiao, already annoyed that Jian Anning had peeled a shrimp for him, immediately scoffed, "Wow, that's what you get for gobbling without chewing properly!"

Except for Hong Minjun, everyone else knew that Yu Zexiao and Situ Xuan did not get along. But since neither was someone they could afford to offend, she could only smile and say, "Mr. Situ, please don't mind, Zexiao didn't mean it that way."
Even if he did mean it that way, Hong Minjun would still have to blatantly lie with her eyes wide open.
