Li Chenglong flushed scarlet. "That's not the same thing!"
Zuo Xiaoduo rolled his eyes and snorted.
I'm not eating it, no matter what.
Li Chenglong took out the Heart-Tempering Fruit and broke it in half. Spiritual Qi immediately spilled out in all directions. "Half each. If you won't eat, neither will I. We'll just let all the Spiritual Qi disperse. Anyway, there's no way I'm hogging it all myself."
"Fine."
Zuo Xiaoduo sighed, took one half, and tossed it into his mouth. "Now you can eat, right?"
Only then did Li Chenglong put his own half into his mouth. Chewing, he said contentedly, "Tastes pretty good."
Before he could finish, Zuo Xiaoduo reached out with his left hand and pried his mouth open. Then, with a smack of his right hand, he stuffed half a Heart-Tempering Fruit into Li Chenglong's mouth and quickly shut it.
Pfft!
Spiritual Qi spilled out in all directions.
It turned out he hadn't eaten it earlier; he had only pretended to.
With the Spirit Fruit in his mouth, Li Chenglong instantly gaped, his chewing coming to an abrupt halt.
Zuo Xiaoduo frowned and scolded him. "You're a grown man. What's with all the fuss? Hurry up and eat, got it? All that brotherly affection stuff is so mushy. Just eat. Fussing and dithering like a woman-I really can't stand you..."
Then he went off to get on with his work.
Li Chenglong froze for a while before he started working his mouth and chewing again, but his eyes gradually reddened.
At last, he swallowed the sweet fruit and said, his eyes red, "You know that's an indirect kiss? I was worried it had your spit on it... What are you so pleased with yourself about?"
Zuo Xiaoduo scoffed. "You even want to eat my spit?
