Chapter 2769: He Was Really Overwhelmed by the Spiciness

The bright red dishes are unbearable to those unaccustomed to spicy food just by looking at them.

He actually finished it all.

Li Mingxi glanced at his pained expression and felt uncomfortable for him.

Xiao Lang drank a glass of water, and Li Qian deliberately asked with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, would you like more water? I’ll have them add some ice for you."

Though Xiao Lang was practically dying from the spiciness, he maintained a calm and composed demeanor, "No thanks, I’m alright."

Li Qian turned to Li Mingxi, "Mingxi, shall I drive you back to the hospital?"

"No need, I drove myself here today, you can leave first."

Li Qian guessed that they definitely had things to talk about, and nodded, "Alright then, I’ll leave now."

After bidding them farewell, Li Qian went to settle the bill and then left.

Li Mingxi also stood up and left without saying anything to Xiao Lang.

Xiao Lang followed her, wanting to call her, but his mouth was too spicy to speak.

Leaving the restaurant, Li Mingxi found her car and opened the door.

Xiao Lang quickly opened the other side of the car door and swiftly got in.

Li Mingxi glared at him, "Don’t you have a car? Get out and drive your own car."

Xiao Lang shook his head, grabbed the bottled water in her car, opened it, and began to drink.

"Xiao Lang, I’m telling you to get out!" Li Mingxi said impatiently.

Xiao Lang struggled to speak, "I’m feeling a bit unwell, I want to go to the hospital, I can’t drive right now."

As he spoke, he clearly looked like he was about to faint.

It seemed the spice really got to him.

Li Mingxi inwardly cursed him for being deservedly punished, reluctantly got into the car, and drove away.

Xiao Lang leaned back on the seat, quickly finishing the bottle of water.

But he was still so spicy that if not for his strong self-control, he would probably have cried.

Li Mingxi glanced at him; Xiao Lang’s face was red, his brows slightly furrowed, and he appeared very uncomfortable.

Li Mingxi abruptly stopped the car by the roadside, "You really deserve this!"

She got out angrily and walked towards a convenience store.

Taking advantage of her absence, Xiao Lang finally opened his mouth to release the excess heat.

Li Mingxi returned with two bottles of ice water, pushing them onto him.

"Don’t drink too much, just hold it in your mouth and then spit it out."

Xiao Lang’s eyes softened, and he smiled as he happily opened a bottle of ice water.

Disregarding Li Mingxi’s advice, he gulped down more than half the bottle.

Li Mingxi glared angrily, "Didn’t I tell you to hold it and spit it out?!"

Holding and then spitting it out, such embarrassing behavior he couldn’t bring himself to do.

"It’s the same thing; I feel much better now," Xiao Lang said with a smile.

Li Mingxi wanted to get mad and wanted to tell him.

If you eat too spicy food, you shouldn’t drink too much ice water, or you’ll get diarrhea.

If she said it, he would surely arrogantly assume she was concerned for him.

She couldn’t be bothered to care; if he wanted to drink, let him drink. If he ended up with diarrhea, he deserved it.

Li Mingxi coldly snorted and started the car again.

...

Soon they reached the hospital, Li Mingxi parked the car and calmly told him, "If you want to see a doctor, go register and queue."

After saying that, she took the elevator to the top floor.

Xiao Lang smiled helplessly; now he didn’t even have the privilege to have the dean see him.

Xiao Lang actually went to register and queue.

All the doctors and nurses at the hospital knew Xiao Lang.

Who didn’t know he was the dean’s ex-boyfriend and that they still had a complicated relationship?

Especially with Xiao Lang being so handsome and friendly.

All the female staff at the hospital really liked him.
