Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

Especially when the oysters were served, their eyes fell on them at the same time, and then they secretly looked at Ji Yan, secretly speculating in their hearts:

Who would she give the food to first? Was there one of them who was less important to her?

Ji Yan was unaware of this subtle feeling, as she was completely immersed in her own world of food. It was not until she realized that she was the only one eating heartily while the men had hardly touched their chopsticks that she looked up and asked in confusion.

"Why don't you guys eat?"

Helian Minxiao smiled bitterly when he heard this. He looked at Ji Yan with a look of helplessness and doting in his eyes: "It's okay, Yanyan, you eat first."

Then, I said to myself: They are not thinking about eating now, they are competing with each other secretly and want to know what you think of them.

Ji Yan shook her head slightly. She was already accustomed to this subtle and slightly childish competition between men. She just felt funny and warm in her heart.

"The oysters here are really good, worthy of being their signature dish."

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of fresh oyster, intending to let everyone present taste this rare delicacy, so she turned her wrist and casually handed it to the table.

However, fate seemed to play a little joke on me, and the oyster on the chopsticks fell squarely into Helian Minxiao's bowl.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the table seemed to freeze. The five men had different expressions. Helian Minxiao's eyes flashed with helplessness and gloom, as if he was thinking about the deep meaning behind Ji Yan's action; while the others raised their lips slightly, wanting to laugh but unable to, for fear of destroying this delicate balance.

Helian Minxiao looked down at the oysters in the bowl, a complicated smile on his lips. He leaned forward, and his deep voice sounded in Ji Yan's ears, with a hint of subtle tenderness and teasing.

"Yanyan, are you dissatisfied with my abilities?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yan was stunned at first, then she widened her big watery eyes, full of confusion and doubt.

She had no idea where Helian Minxiao's words came from, and she had no idea what the connection was between the oysters and the man's abilities.

"Hmm?" She uttered a syllable softly, her voice full of confusion and bewilderment.

Zheng Haoqian, who was sitting next to her, laughed inwardly when he saw this. He knew Ji Yan's innocence and purity, and also understood the reason behind this misunderstanding.

So, he coughed lightly to attract Ji Yan's attention, and then explained in a low voice: "Yan Yan, you may not know that oysters are regarded as food that enhances male strength in some cultures..."

Hearing this, Ji Yan suddenly realized, and her cheeks instantly turned red, as if blood would drip out.

She looked at Helian Minxiao awkwardly, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "Min... Minxiao... I... I really didn't mean that. I just want everyone to taste the deliciousness of these oysters..."

After saying that, she buried her head in her hands even more embarrassedly, not daring to look directly into Helian Minxiao's eyes.

Helian Minxiao looked at Ji Yan's embarrassed appearance, and the haze in his heart instantly disappeared.

He smiled gently, and patted Ji Yan's shoulder to comfort her: "It's okay, Yanyan, I know you didn't mean it. Since you gave me this oyster, I won't be polite."

As he spoke, he picked up the oysters in the bowl and swallowed them in one gulp, as if he was telling Ji Yan with his actions that he didn't care about this little misunderstanding.

The dinner atmosphere was still warm and harmonious, and the aroma of delicious food filled the air, making people feel happy.

However, the men seemed to still have some grudges about the previous misunderstanding, and from time to time they engaged in subtle contests with each other through light-hearted words.

Xin Mujing noticed that Helian Minxiao had just finished eating the oysters in his bowl, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He quickly picked up a piece of oyster and gently placed it in Helian Minxiao's bowl, not forgetting to tease.

"Eat more, Minxiao. You've been so busy lately. You need to take good care of your body!"

Helian Minxiao's expression, which had originally returned to normal, instantly turned gloomy again after hearing these words, as if it was covered with dark clouds.

He thought to himself: "This kid really holds a grudge."

However, he was not a pushover. He immediately picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of oyster for Xin Mujing. He said calmly, "I have always been good at what I do, but you need to improve more, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with the pace in the future."

Upon hearing this, Xin Mujing waved his hands and said with a smile, "I don't need it. Yanyan has never served me any. You should enjoy it yourself, lest Yanyan really dislikes you one day."

Ji Yan sat between the two of them, watching their "confrontation" back and forth, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

She had originally just wanted everyone to taste the delicious oysters, but she hadn't expected this to cause such a misunderstanding. Now, she felt that everyone's eyes were focused on her, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Minxiao, I really didn't mean that just now."

Ji Yan looked at Helian Minxiao seriously, trying to explain clearly, "A Jing, don't blame me for everything. You are all brothers. It's okay to make a joke, but don't go too far."

Helian Minxiao saw this and quickly stopped smiling. He looked at Ji Yan seriously and said, "Yan Yan, I know you didn't mean it. I was just joking with A Jing, don't mind it."

As he said this, he deliberately gave Xin Mujing a look, signaling him to stop.

Xin Mujing also realized that he might have played too much, and nodded quickly, "Yes, Yanyan, we are just joking. Come on, everyone continue to eat, don't let this little thing affect your mood."

Seeing both of them say this, Ji Yan felt a little comforted. She didn't want to continue this topic, so she stood up and spoke gently.

"Well, now that everyone is full, let's go back early. I am indeed a little sleepy."

Upon hearing this, the five men put down their chopsticks and stood up. They tacitly stopped talking and just accompanied Ji Yan to pack up her things, and then left the restaurant together.

In the night, their figures gradually faded away, but their deep friendship and tacit understanding were as warm and beautiful as this dinner.
