I am an evil girlfriend

Jin Yang once told me that if he was single, he MIGHT date me but he would NEVER want to marry me. One of my best friends, Thong Weirong, had insisted on meeting my new found boyfriend (at that time) because she couldn't understand how any guy could bring himself to be together with me. Lots of my friends, female and male alike, had told me how lucky I was to get such a good boyfriend, short of saying "he freakin' deserves better".



I was puzzled. How could they doubt the eligibility of someone so nice, so intelligent, so out-going, with an added touch of humility?



I found my answer last night. Tian'en and I were having dinner together in one of his residence canteen. I wanted something soupy, so I ordered "Sichuan ma la soup" while Tian'en ordered vietnamnese beef noodles. I didn't think that the soup would be spicy, since most "spicy" food in Singapore are meant for babies. However, one mouthful of the soup was sufficient to burn my stomach. Strangely, the soup was not as harsh on the tongue as on the stomach. Still, I regreted buying that, especially when Tian'en's beef noodle was so fragrant.



Sweetie TE saw that I was suffering and quickly proceeded to buy papaya juice for me. Was I grateful? Yes, I was absolutely grateful for the noodles I stole off him when he was queueing up for the juice.



However, I was still dying from the soup. So I threw in my last resort.



"I bet you cannot even finish half of this!" As expected, TE took up the bait and bet that he could finish the entire bowl. For your information, TE sucks at eating spicy stuff. His body drips tons of sweat in order to dilute the spicy food with salty water.




I gladly exchanged my spicy Sichuan soup with his bowl of beef noodles. My poor baby had to thronged his way through the soup, to the extent that he snatched the papaya juice away from me because he wanted it all to himself. When TE stops me from drinking papaya juice (he is the one who benefits, after all), I know that the spiciness is REALLY bad.

Tian'en refused to share:(





Tian'en struggling to finish. He stared at the bowl half of the time.



WAHAHAHAHA!!! But he did finish it. Such a silly boy.


Tian'en, next time, don't deliberately take up the bet just to save me, ok?
