In Zheng Da's jubilant boasting, Gong Liang took the freshly baked, still hot coconut mooncake from Master Jing's hands. It's hard to tell if Gong Liang's love for coconut makes him powerless against any snack related to it or if the freshly baked coconut mooncake is just too enticing.
Gong Liang foolishly took a bite of the scorching coconut mooncake, only to jump up and make a clumsy attempt at cooling his mouth as if tapping out a quick rhythm with his tongue.
He didn't want to spit it out, but couldn't swallow it either.
Master Jing quickly handed Gong Liang an empty bowl, signalling him to spit out the mooncake first, then gesturing to Huang Shengli to pour a bowl of cold water, to prevent this silly kid from laying out flat.
Even after spitting out the mooncake, Gong Liang kept trying to cool down his mouth, nearly enough to break into a tap dance.
