Catwalker had already swallowed down the bite of Char Siu and had now picked up a nice big chunk of Mapo Tofu. This time, it was Ladybug’s eyes that bulged wide.
“Oh no, I forgot—!”
Too late. Catwalker popped it in his mouth, and Ladybug pulled a face as she waited for his reaction. As she suspected, Catwalker’s face turned a deep shade of red from the neck up, and he made a little strangled noise in his throat.
“—it’s spicy,” she finished with a wince. Chat Noir was an absolute wuss when it came to spice.
Catwalker shook his head wildly, swallowed down the lump of tofu, likely whole, and began coughing and sputtering while pounding at his chest.
“No—” he coughed. “It’s—it’s good.” His insistence wasn’t convincing; his eyes were watering.
