Hiss…

Zhao Jia’s heart trembled, and she immediately retracted her gaze.

She was a little afraid of heights. “Linlin, let’s change seats?”

Peng Linlin took the menu. If she changed seats, she would be able to see Peng Zezai’s face. She did not want to!

“I’m afraid of heights. I like to sit here…” She beamed as she handed the menu to Zhao Jia. “Why don’t you order the dishes, sister-in-law?”

They had gone out to eat together before. At that time, it seemed that grandfather had insisted that her brother accompany sister-in-law and forced her to go on dates. It was always sister-in-law who ordered the dishes. In order to blend in with the Peng family, Zhao Jia understood the tastes and preferences of everyone in the Peng family, especially Peng Zezai’s. It was definitely right for her to order the dishes.

Zhao Jia held the exquisite and heavy menu and pointed at it with her slender white fingers. “Alright, that’s all.”

She could finally have a good meal. The dishes from yesterday were too light.

Feeling bored while waiting, Peng Linlin asked with a smile, “Brother, can you give us a suggestion… Which university is the best? One that has a major as well as a master’s major. I want to go to the same school as sister-in-law…”

Peng Zezai did not even raise his head to look at his phone. “You choose what you like. Don’t bother about her.”

“Brother…”

Zhao Jia’s heart skipped a beat as she said, “Your brother is right. You’ve been in university for two months, and I haven’t taken the exam yet…”

“But I heard that you’re a straight A student, sister-in-law! You can graduate from university in two years. To you, taking the postgraduate exam will take only a few minutes…” Peng Linlin pursed her lips. “Sister-in-law…”

She said regretfully, “I want to too, but the postgraduate exam is something I have very little control over.”

Actually, she did not know much about it. After all, she was only a high school graduate!

She could not understand. Since it was all her, why didn’t she have any memories of the past five years?

If she had memories, it would be much easier.

For example..

Was the child in her belly really Peng Zezai’s? Why did she like him in the first place? Why did she get married? Was there a conspiracy behind this?

“I think so too…” Peng Linlin was extremely disappointed.

Her brother’s attitude towards her sister-in-law was as cold as ever. Very soon, the waiters started serving the dishes one after another.

She looked at the dishes on the table in surprise. “Waiter, did you serve the wrong dishes? I don’t think we ordered this.”

The waiter turned around blankly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhao Jia’s voice.

“It’s right, I ordered it.”

“Sister-in-law…” Peng Linlin was so surprised that she could not close her mouth. Her round eyes drifted to Peng Zezai who sat across from her. “Brother…”

The dishes on the table were spicy crayfish, lobster, sashimi, king crab, fried clams, abalone soup, shredded pork..

It was either spicy or seafood. These… did not suit Peng Zezai’s tastes at all.

“Sister-in-law, are you sure?” she asked weakly.

Zhao Jia elegantly picked up a wet towel on the table and wiped her hands. “I’m sure. You asked me to order. These are all my favorites.”

Peng Linlin’s heart tightened. “But… Brother never eats seafood. He doesn’t eat spicy food.”

She smiled. “We’ll eat it and ignore him.”

Peng Linlin was stunned. “But… Sister-in-law, you didn’t eat seafood or spicy food in the past either.”

She did not eat that type of food either? How was that possible? Ever since she grew up in the mainland, she had always envied others for living by the sea and being able to eat seafood as she pleased. She had already lost five years of her youth for no apparent reason. Did she not even have the right to eat the things she liked?

Across from her, Peng Zezai’s gaze had drifted to the table. These…

These were the things she liked to eat? All these years, she had been lying to him? In the past, she happily said to him, “Wow, our tastes are the same!” Although I grew up in a place that was famous for spicy food, I don’t like spicy food at all. I also don’t like seafood. Zezai, don’t you think we’re meant to be together?

The past was still vivid in his mind. At this moment, Zhao Jia was putting on disposable gloves. Her eyes could not conceal her love for lobsters.

“Oh… It’s so delicious.” Zhao Jia happily ate the prawn meat. Her beautiful eyes were on him as she casually asked, “Are you allergic to seafood?”

Peng Linlin also looked at him curiously. She only knew that her brother did not eat seafood, but she did not know the reason.

Peng Zezai made a small sound of assent. He pointed at the table and said, “Waiter.”

Zhao Jia looked at him holding the menu. He added a few more dishes. He was really allergic… but it that was not her fault. She had lost her memory and did not remember that he was allergic.

“I’m so hungry. I can eat a lot…” Peng Linlin touched her stomach. “Brother, you can order as much as you want. I can still eat.”

“You’re still growing. Eat more.”

It was a pity that he could not eat seafood. The taste of this sashimi was too fresh. Zhao Jia’s taste buds were alive and she narrowed his eyes happily. “Then you’ll miss out on a lot of delicious food in your life.”

He said coldly, “I don’t care.”

He was not allergic to seafood either. He had never had an allergy. It was only because of certain things.

Soon, the dishes were served. Zhao Jia looked at the bland dishes. If it were her, she would not have been able to stand it.

“So spicy…”

She picked up the fruit juice and poured it into her mouth. Her eyes turned red. “Why is the rabbit so spicy?”

This did not make sense! She could eat spicy food very well.. Could it be that she could not eat spicy food because she had not eaten spicy food for too long?
