He Teng never expected that even Chen Ya'nan, the student who just came back last Friday, would overhear talk of a green hat. Seeing that He Zhilan's expression remained calm, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, fearful that she would feel wronged and angry to the point of losing her appetite.
However, it now seemed that He Zhilan was having trouble eating because of the spiciness.
As for He Zhilan's taste, He Teng had a pretty good understanding. She had the heart to eat spicy food, but not the constitution for it. A little bit of spice was okay, but too much would bring her to tears.
The chili sauce in the army was rather spicy since it was all homemade, which explained why He Teng didn't add chili to He Zhilan's dumplings and forbid her from taking any during Chinese New Year.
