Chapter 78: Tears Soup

  Qiu Nianwei raised an eyebrow and sneered at Mu Yuxin, "Oh yeah? You were so overwhelmed by the spiciness that you had to cry, and your tears all flowed into this dish." Mu Yuxin glanced at Qiu Nianwei's table and retorted, "Hmph, who cried more earlier? Look at the pile of tissues in front of you!"

  "I think what we're drinking is the combined tears of you two, huh, it's salty, sour and has a gunpowder flavor," Duan Liuyun said with a smile as he picked up his bowl and sniffed it.

  Duan Liuyun was deliberately teasing Qiu Nianwei and Mu Yuxin, and the two naturally heard it too. They scolded in unison, "Brother Liuyun is the worst!" The two of them glared at Duan Liuyun with extremely dissatisfied expressions that were very similar to each other.

  These two people always seem like arch-enemies when they meet, yet they also have an extraordinary tacit understanding.

  Duan Liu Yun burst out laughing, and Lan Sheng Yan and Qiu Nian Bai also started laughing.

  Tian Nuoyu smiled lightly and said: "This is made by Yan Shu using some special ingredients."

  "You say it's brewed, is this wine?" Lan Shengyan couldn't help but curiously pick up the bowl and sniff it, but didn't smell any pungent aroma of alcohol.

  "It can be said to be wine, but not entirely. There is a component of wine in it, but only in small amounts, and drinking it won't get you drunk," Tian Nuoyu explained. "As for what specific ingredients are used, Yan Shu refused to reveal, saying that there were also eighteen ingredients added."

  "Wow, it's so mysterious, what flavor is that?" Mu Yu Xing also picked up her bowl and stared at the contents in surprise.

  "It's hard to describe, everyone who has tried it may feel differently," Tian Nuoyu said with a smile.

  "Will I lose my memory after drinking this?" Mu Yu Xing held the bowl and suddenly became tense.

  "Xin'er, you'd better think carefully about this. Are you going to trade all your memories for this bowl of soup?" Duan Liu Yun said with a smile.

  "Don't worry, Xīn'ér, if you can't remember anything, I'll be by your side," Qiū Niàn Bó's eyes gazed at Mù Yǔ Xīn with warmth.

  But his gaze made Mu Yu Xing feel a layer of goosebumps, she rolled her eyes: "Who wants you to accompany!"

  Qiu Nianbo's face still maintained a smile, but his eyes flashed with a hint of unusual color, and he raised an eyebrow to cover up the anomaly.

  "Cut! Only you would believe her nonsense," Qiu Nianwei glanced at Tian Nuanyu with disdain and coldly ridiculed Mu Yuexin.

  "You don't believe it, then why are you afraid to drink?" Mu Yu Xin glared at Qiu Nian Wei.

  "Who says I don't dare drink? What's the big deal?" Qiu Nianwei said, picking up her bowl and taking a big gulp.

  Mu Yu Xing originally intended to drink, but seeing Qiu Nian Wei drinking first, she deliberately didn't drink and waited to see Qiu Nian Wei's reaction. The other few people seemed to have the same idea as Mu Yu Xing, and they actually put the bowls that had already been picked up back on the table.

  Mu Yu Xing stared at Qiu Nian Wei's face, observing the changes in her expression. After a while, Qiu Nian Wei's face suddenly revealed a strange expression, but she didn't say a word.

  "What's wrong with the taste?" Mu Yu Xing looked at Qiu Nian Wei who had been silent for a while and couldn't help but ask.

  Qiu Nianwei looked at the few people who didn't drink but were all staring at her, she felt like a lab rat in an experiment, and suddenly felt a bit annoyed. Just then Mu Yu Xing asked her, and she vented her annoyance on him: "Why ask me? You can just try it yourself and you'll know!"

  Mu Yu Xin gave Qiu Nian Wei a white eye, she picked up the bowl and brought it to her lips, taking a small sip.

  The first impression of the entrance is like plain water, light and tasteless, but in less than half a second, a thread of refreshing wine aroma fills the lips and teeth, followed by a strange flavor that fills the mouth, passes through the throat, flows through the esophagus, and falls into the stomach.

  Can't be described, can't be portrayed, clear and refreshing with a hint of acidity, acidic yet containing a thread of sweetness, sweet but with a hint of bitterness, bitter yet with a touch of minty freshness, and this freshness contains a hint of saltiness.

  Perhaps it was because she was too curious about this bowl of tea, Mu Yu Xin savored it even more seriously, and as the flavor changed, her mood turned a hundred times.

  Mu Yu Xin unbelievably took another big sip, perhaps this mouthful was more than the first, and the taste she felt was even stronger than the first. She put down her bowl in surprise and looked at the other people on the table, then stared at Tian Nuan Yu with wide eyes.

  Tian Nuoyu smiled slightly: "How is it? Is it good?"

  "I don't know, I just can't describe the flavor," Mu Yu Xing really couldn't find the words to describe what this bowl of "Meng Po Soup" tasted like, and so she couldn't say whether it was good or not.

  Qiu Nianwei glanced at Mu Yuexin and wanted to hold back, but in the end, she couldn't help saying: "Can't describe what flavor it is".

  "The smile on Tian Nu's face deepened: 'Then what taste did you feel when you drank it to the end?'"

  "Agreed!" Mu Yu Xing and Qiu Nian Wei chimed in unison once again.

  Suddenly, Mu Yu Xing stared at the bowl in front of her and exclaimed: "There won't really be tears in here, will there? I feel like the last taste is just like the salty taste of tears."

  Tian Nu Yu smiled but did not answer.
