“So, you’re blaming me now?” Minnie was a little upset.
Eden said, “I didn’t mean that. You don’t have to think too much about it. I just hope that you can give me a chance to get to know you like I’m meeting you for the first time. I want you to get to know me as well. From an objective point of view, I can tell if the two of us really want to give it a try.”
Minnie, however, said strangely, “However, if you follow the normal way of thinking and encounter my attitude, it should be very clear that I have rejected you.”
Eden said, “So, or should I come and find out if I’m the one being rejected, or is it just because I’m the one who came to you for a blind date?”
This question, which can be said, really grasped the point.
What she was uncomfortable with was so easily exposed by Eden.
This feeling was very subtle, but also very bad.
It was as if he had everything under control.
Indeed, Minnie used such a way to prepare for Eden to be beaten back just because she resisted being arranged for a blind date. However, what she did not expect was that such a situation would happen now. What she had performed before made her look like a fool at the moment.
Minnie said, “Actually, you do not have to make so much trouble. I do not think that will change. We’re not the same.”
Eden smiled when she said that, and said, “It’s too arbitrary for you to say that. There are a lot of things that you haven’t experienced before. It doesn’t seem reasonable to make such a decision. Why don’t you just give me a chance? If the outcome is as you said, then I’m willing to admit defeat.”
Minnie didn’t understand how Eden could be so persistent in this matter.
But, having done so, she accepted the bet.
Minnie said, “Since you insist on it, I’ll grant you this request.”
She raised an eyebrow and said, “Try this squid.”
Eden’s eyes fell on the squid, chuckled, and said, “Don’t you regret it.”
Minnie chuckled again, even thinking Eden was struggling.
At no point did she think Eden would win the bet.
She ordered the super spicy squid.
Even she herself was barely able to cope with it.
However, Eden, as if nothing had happened, really did not change his expression after eating a whole squid.
He didn’t even drink a mouthful of water, and didn’t use any of the anti-spicy products.
Minnie went from feeling confident at first to stunned.
She didn’t even know how to face the consequences.
Of course, Eden was not completely without any reaction. His face was already beaded with sweat, so he was clearly suffering from the heat.
However, his expression was quite calm.
Minnie stared at Eden for a long time, and finally was sure that he really didn’t change his expression.
Minnie was instantly awed.
“I underestimated you,” she said. “You won this round.”
Eden twitched his lips and said, “Don’t underestimate a man’s desire to win, especially when a man wants something.”
Minnie’s mood became more complicated when she heard him say that.
She said, “OK, you win, but this squid is really hot. Are you really OK?”
When Eden heard the words, his eyebrows rose slightly and he said, “You are now concerned about me?”
This kind of words, from Eden’s mouth, instantly let Minnie feel so ambiguous.
All of a sudden, she didn’t know how to answer that.
With a slight cough, Minnie said, “I just don’t want you to feel uncomfortable. I don’t want to be responsible for this.”
Eden chuckled and said, “Don’t worry. I’m not that fragile, and it won’t make you responsible.”
Minnie, however, kept staring at Eden for a while to make sure he was serious. Then she shrugged her shoulders and said, “Well, I have asked you about it but you didn’t tell me, so don’t come back to me.”
Eden was so mad at Minnie for saying that.
This woman was so afraid of being responsible for him.
He was a little speechless, but there was nothing else he could do.
Now that the relationship between the two of them had become better, he naturally did not want to take any more chances.
Then, the two of them ate the meal in peace.
However, as the meal was about to be finished, a dispute arose again.
Minnie was the only woman in the whole restaurant, so naturally she received several dirty glances.
In particular, the person sitting by the table with her was Eden, who looked like a rich person. Naturally, it made some people who had dirty thoughts think in a more dirty way.
At first, those people were just using the sight to pollute Minnie. Gradually, they got drunk, and some people’s sight began to become more presumptuous and their behavior became bolder.
With Eden, they didn’t give a damn.
In their eyes, although Eden was like a rich man, he was nothing more than a physically weak person.
Compared to those who did manual labor, they couldn’t be compared at all.
So, a few men got up from their chairs after getting drunk and wandered over to Minnie and Eden’s table with the bottles in their hands.
“Beauty, how can you eat barbecue without drinking? Come have a drink with us.” The leading man smashed the beer bottle onto the table. The bottom of the beer bottle and the table collided with each other with a loud bang, both Minnie and Eden frowned in unison, and their faces darkened.
Minnie narrowed her eyes and did not look at the men.
However, the men who had been drinking were apparently not feeling the chill emanating from Minnie and Eden.
One of them reached straight for Minnie’s shoulder.
Eden narrowed his eyes and his fists had already hardened.
He put down the food in his hand and looked at the hand that was reaching for Minnie. Just as the hand was about to touch Minnie, he threw a fork at it and stuck it in the hand.
In an instant, the wailing sound resounded throughout the restaurant.
Minnie looked at Eden with amazement, and did not realize how he had struck.
As a matter of fact, if Eden had not acted, she would have acted herself, but Eden acted more quickly.
The men did not react at all and just froze in place.
The man with the fork in his palm fell to the ground, holding his injured hand in one hand and howling.
Eden had risen to his feet and pulled Minnie behind him.
His eyes were full of cruelty. He looked at the men who had an exaggerated opinion of their abilities and said, “How do you want to drink?”
The men finally recovered from that man’s injury and could not care less about their brother. Instead, they rushed towards Eden in anger.
“Fuck you! Do you want to die?!” One of them yelled, and he swung the beer bottle at Eden’s head.
However, before he got close to Eden, Eden lifted his foot and kicked him away.
Minnie was standing behind Eden. At this moment, a strange feeling arose in her heart.
It was the first time she had been so protected by someone.
This feeling was so wonderful, making Minnie unconsciously began to rethink her relationship with
Eden.
Eden turned to look at Minnie and said, “Stay with me, okay?”
Minnie was a little stunned, but she wanted to tell Eden that she didn’t need to be protected like this.
She can take care of these fools herself.
However, she did not have the opportunity to explain this to him now. The group of men lunged at
Eden, and Eden did not hesitate, punched and kicked the men one by one.
Although he was not the best among the bunch of men, he had no problem dealing with these idiots.
In just a few minutes, Eden threw all of them to the ground.
He shook his hand, turned around, grabbed Minnie by the wrist, and led her inside the restaurant, where he found the boss, scanned the QR code, and paid him the money for the broken tables and chairs and the frightened guests.
Minnie didn’t have a chance to get in a word. She was just being led by Eden and following him step by step.
Minnie was still in a daze until she got back to the car.
She sat in the passenger seat and did not look at Eden, but lowered her eyes and was lost in her own thoughts.
The shock of what had just happened to Minnie was too great.
Even now, she was in a trance, not sure if what had just happened was real.
Eden held the steering wheel in silence.
After a long time, Eden said, “In the future, do not come here alone.”
Minnie heard that and turned to look at Eden.
She could only see Eden’s side profile. His chiseled profile and his jaw line made his aura very different.
