Love You Till the End Chapter 1181 - 1179: Shi Mei vs Shi Keke (26)

With the arrival of the dishes, the 'dispute' between Shi Keke and Shi Mei reached a temporary pause.

Shi Keke propped her chin in her hand, her gaze fixed on the large platter of shrimp before her, unsure how to begin. Despite an innate fear of creatures with hard shells, she loved eating them. After a period of prolonged indecision, she finally moved to act.

The man seated across from her, however, calmly selected a shrimp from the plate and commenced to expertly peel its shell.

Shi Keke observed him intently, her eyes meticulously tracing the movements of his hands, silently committing the steps for peeling a shrimp to memory.

She harbored no expectation that he would offer her one, especially after she had just doused him with tea. Though he remained silent, his expression clearly communicated his displeasure.

His refined actions could not conceal the potent, almost violent, aura that emanated from him.

Witnessing him conclude the peeling of a single shrimp, Shi Keke mused that he might perhaps ask her, considering it was her initial experience as his 'woman', if she desired it. She anticipated the question, "Do you want to eat?"

To her surprise, he merely offered a detached glance and then raised the peeled shrimp, placing it directly into his own mouth.

An immediate sense of dissatisfaction washed over Shi Keke. "Brother, have you ever heard of the principle of 'ladies first'?" she inquired.

"Never heard of it," Shi Mei replied, dabbing his mouth with a napkin. He continued calmly, "It tastes quite good."

Though his words seemed like a simple appreciation of the cuisine, they were subtly crafted to provoke Shi Keke.

Aware of his intent and determined not to yield to his provocation, she nonchalantly responded, "The food here is indeed quite delectable," before casually selecting a shrimp from the plate herself.

Only the heavens bore witness to the wave of goosebumps that erupted across her entire body the moment her fingers made contact with the shrimp.

Determined to conceal her aversion from him, she mustered all her strength to overcome her fear and began the process of shucking the shrimp.

However, whether due to an incorrect technique or her sheer inexperience with peeling shrimp, the head detached, followed by the body, leaving the shell remarkably intact.

Shi Mei observed her fumbling attempts without a word. He offered no mockery, nor did he extend any assistance, contenting himself with the role of an interested spectator.

Ultimately, Shi Keke abandoned her efforts, setting down the mangled 'remains' in her hand. She meticulously wiped her hands clean with a napkin before turning her attention to the adjacent table.

"Handsome sir, do you happen to know how to peel shrimp?" she asked, her voice laced with charm.

A seductive smile graced her lips, her gaze seeming to ensnare the gentleman's heart. Seemingly mesmerized, the handsome man nodded repeatedly, confirming, "Yes! Yes! I can peel shrimp; I'm exceptionally skilled at it!"

"Would you be so kind as to..."

"Mmm!" he interjected.

Before Shi Keke could complete her request, her mouth was abruptly filled with an entire shrimp. The critical issue was not merely the whole shrimp, but the fact that it was... entirely unpeeled!

She directed her gaze at the perpetrator, Shi Mei, raised an eyebrow, and then abruptly stood. She walked over to him, straddled his lap, and employing the most direct method, returned the shrimp into his mouth.

The instant she expelled the shrimp into his mouth, she swiftly rose, intending to distance herself before he could react. However, she was a fraction of a second too late. Even before she could take a single step, he seized her hand.

Shi Mei simply tugged at her gently, causing her to stumble unexpectedly into his arms. Moments later, amidst the clatter of dishes, she heard him exclaim as he lifted her by the waist.

She felt a sharp, brief pain in her back, followed by the forceful impact as he slammed her down onto the table.
