"If it were anyone else, they certainly wouldn't be able to bear so much praise, especially coming from my mouth," Nuwa's voice and expression both carried dignity and pride as she looked at Chen Nuo, her beautiful phoenix eyes filled with sincerity, "but if it's you, you can bear it."
Chen Nuo also looked directly at Nuwa; faced with such frank admiration, Chen Nuo did not shy away. They maintained eye contact across the table, neither of them backing down.
Chen Nuo and Nuwa simply looked at each other in silence.
After a long while, Chen Nuo was the first to look away. "Try the black pepper beef now. If it cools down, the texture won't be the same as when it's just come out."
Nuwa also snapped back to reality and quickly picked up a piece of the beef with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. As soon as she tasted it, she covered her mouth in surprise, "How can this meat be so tender and juicy? Is this really beef?"
