Mo Ka’s reaction stunned everyone . Most of the people there thought he was merely exaggerating in order to help Bai Xiaofei . Everything changed when they ate the Crystal’s Longings .
“How can it be so delicious?”
“Holy shit . So good!”
“What’s the name of this fruit?”
Nobody could avoid crying out loud when trying a Crystal’s Longing for the first time, not even Lin Li . Bai Xiaofei heaved a long sigh of relief at this sight .
Phew…I survived this…
Xue Ying glared at Bai Xiaofei and whispered in a low voice that only the two of them could hear . “For this fruit, I won’t continue questioning you, but be careful in the future . Are you not satisfied with Little Li by your side?”

Bai Xiaofei paused slightly when he heard that . Why was she mentioning someone else’s name? A normal person would mention her own name, right? It wasn’t like Xue Ying was the type to be too shy to mention her own name .
“Class monitor, what is the name of this fruit? We don’t have anything this delicious in the southern region,” Zhu Sisi bounced toward Bai Xiaofei and asked a question everyone was curious about .
“Crystal’s Longing, a name signifying that this is a fruit one will have difficulty forgetting, just like first love,” Bai Xiaofei said with a slight smile . This caused everyone to have an expression of recollection on their faces . It was indeed a suitable name .
“Food is here!”
As everyone was in deep thought after trying the Crystal’s Longing, Rui Mengqi appeared to remind everyone of why they were questioning Bai Xiaofei . Bai Xiaofei felt like committing suicide when he saw her .
Damn it! If I had known this, I would have gone to the Hundred Flavor House instead!
Bai Xiaofei had nobody to blame but himself . He was the one who wanted to come here to save money . Leading the other waitresses, Rui Mengqi set the dishes on the table . Then, she saw the remaining Crystal’s Longings on the table, causing her to freeze where she stood . An expression of a kid who had seen her favorite snack appeared on her face . The sound of her swallowing saliva could be clearly heard .

“Boss…can I eat one?” Rui Mengqi asked . The enticement of a Crystal’s Longing was too great . When she was working at the Babel Merchant House, she never would have dreamed of eating one . But Bai Xiaofei felt completely different from her previous boss . Moreover, there were so many Crystal’s Longings here .
“You have never eaten one before?” Xue Ying asked in astonishment before Bai Xiaofei could answer . Of course, Rui Mengqi could not comprehend the deeper meaning of this question . She answered honestly .
“No . Although I have been a saleswoman for eight years at the Babel Merchant House, I have never eaten one . ”
“Were you really a saleswoman at the Babel Merchant House?” Xue Ying regretted her question the moment she asked it . That was quite rude, but it did not matter as Rui Mengqi still only understood the literal meaning of her question .
“Yes! But my sales volume has always been bad…” Rui Mengqi nodded with a slight giggle before turning downcast when she reached the end of her sentence .
“But don’t worry, everyone! I will work hard here! I won’t do anything stupid anymore!” Rui Mengqi quickly added . She was afraid that she would be fired . After all, her job here hadn’t even started for real yet . But she was not aware that her words were not what the Savage Class students were paying attention to . Rather, they were paying attention to how she spoke, the variations of her expression, and her every motion when speaking .
Bai Xiaofei seemed innocent when they observed her – no matter how they looked at her, Rui Mengqi did not look like someone smart enough to be a mistress . Bai Xiaofei was too smart . Even if he wanted to get a new woman, he would never get one who could be so easily exposed . Everyone reached the same conclusion . They all believed that intelligence was something Bai Xiaofei’s future wife could not lack .

When they thought of that, they started gazing at Xue Ying . They had been together for a long time . If they couldn’t see that something was going on between Xue Ying and Bai Xiaofei, they would be incurably stupid .
“Here, this one is for you . Keep the food coming . I want around six or seven more tables of food . ”
Bai Xiaofei was in a good mood after he found that danger had passed for him . He gave Rui Mengqi one Crystal’s Longing and heaved a sigh of relief . It would seem like the person who had cast suspicion on him was also the one to remove the suspicion from him .
However, Bai Xiaofei had underestimated Rui Mengqi’s destructiveness . After grabbing the Crystal’s Longing Bai Xiaofei had given her, rather than being pleasantly surprised, she stood there stunned . Then, she said something that made Bai Xiaofei feel like slapping his own mouth .
“Boss, are you confessing your love to me? It is said that a man will gift a woman a Crystal’s Longing as a sign that he wants to pursue her . Although you have always treated me kindly, I am not ready yet . Moreover, I am a couple of years older than you…” Rui Mengqi spoke with an innocent look on her face, successfully sinking the room into silence . The sound of Bai Xiaofei gulping reverberated . Apart from Bai Xiaofei, all the other men in the room could clearly sense the intense killing intent two particular women were emanating .
“I swear I didn’t know that . Do you guys believe that?” Bai Xiaofei muttered and cautiously studied everyone’s expressions .
Fine, nobody believes me…
“Oh…Big Sister Mengqi, you may leave now . That was not what Big Brother Fei meant . He’s merely caring for you like how a boss would his employee . We are going to start eating now . It’s best if you leave . ” Fang Ye braced himself and stepped out . Of course, he did not have the courage to stand near Rui Mengqi . He could never know if this young missy would suddenly drag him down as well .
“I see . Phew . I thought boss was thinking of taking me as his mistress . ” Rui Mengqi patted her bountiful chest and heaved a sigh of relief . “Thank you, boss, for your Crystal’s Longing . I will work hard!” Rui Mengqi declared as she made a gesture that was similar to the “work hard emoji” . No matter how one looked at her, she looked like she was trying to act cute in front Bai Xiaofei .
What the f*ck? I thought I was already safe? Why have I fallen into danger again immediately afterwards?
Rui Mengqi left, and the atmosphere in the room turned odd again .
“Shall we…sit down?” Bai Xiaofei asked nervously . He received a snort as cold as winter from Xue Ying . However, Xue Ying did not seem like she was intending to keep questioning him . Rather, she pulled a chair over and sat down beside Bai Xiaofei . Next, Lin Li sat down at the other side of Bai Xiaofei .
The others breathed out in relief on behalf of Bai Xiaofei when they saw him out of danger . Of course, some of them were disappointed as they had been preparing to watch a “good show” . From their reactions, it was clear how terrifying a bad friend could be .
When everyone took their seats, for the sake of his safety, Bai Xiaofei stood up and shifted the topic back to the right track . Fortunately, the Savage Class members were all magnanimous . Since Bai Xiaofei was trying to shift the topic, they obliged . The joyful mood of celebration appeared, replacing the curiosity they had over Bai Xiaofei’s relationship with Rui Mengqi .
