Chapter 165

For Qin Yue and Wen Rou, this did not seem like a good occasion.

Ji Qingqing reached out her hand to take the thermos from Qin Yue and opened it. Inside contained stewed chicken soup, steamed fish, reddish gleaming shrimps and also some leafy greens for the side dish. The food looked delicious and could make one salivate.

The food tempted the foodie in her. “These are all what I like to eat. Brother Qin, thank you.”

Lu Lixing’s face slowly darkened.

“Both of you, come sit and eat. There so much, I definitely can’t finish it all. You’re in luck today, these are the dishes prepared by Mr. Lu. I’ll go get a pair of chopsticks for the two of you.” Ji Qingqing stood up and headed towards the kitchen

Qin Yue looked at the three dishes on the dining table, he did not feel blessed to receive that ‘luck’ at all.

Ji Qingqing emerged from the kitchen and passed the bowls and chopsticks to Qin Yue and Wen Rou. “Help yourselves to the food.”

Qin Yue and Wen Rou looked at the three dishes on the table and turned their gazes to the plate of Shrimp with Sweet corn which could be considered barely passable. Both of them picked up a shrimp each and chewed it. Afterwards, they stopped chewing at the same time and eyed each other. They could see the despair in each other’s eyes

Not daring to take another bite, their throats moved and the two of them swallowed down the whole shrimp.

Lu Lixing stared at the two of them. His eyes slightly darkened, revealing a sharp glint. “Does it taste good?”

“It’s good!”

“It’s very delicious! President Lu, your cooking skills are superb!”

Ji Qingqing smiled, “If it’s good, eat as much as you like.”

Luckily they were just there to deliver the dishes. If not, then someone would have ended up dead tomorrow.

Ji Qingqing sat back at the dining table. She hesitantly used the chopsticks to pick a piece of shrimp and placed it into her mouth. As she chewed, she finally understood where that horrified expression on Qin Yue and Wen Rou’s face came from. She glanced at Lu Lixing and forced a smile before swallowing the shrimp as a whole.

Lu Lixing watched Ji Qingqing’s expression change, he could guess how it tasted like.

“It tastes bad?”

Ji Qingqing reluctantly praised him. “To be honest, for a first timer to make it like that, it’s already pretty good.”

Lu Lixing picked up a piece of shrimp. He took a single bite and stopped, neither swallowing or spitting. Eventually, he expressionlessly swallowed the whole shrimp down.

Ji Qingqing picked up a slice of the Napoleon Wrasse. “You added vinegar?”

“Vinegar?” Lu Lixing thought about the dark seasoning he added earlier. He didn’t take note of what it was. Now, he felt unsure of himself, “I think what I added should have been light sauce?”

Ji Qingqing really did not want to touch that plate of vegetables. But, she had to give Lu Lixing some face. Summoning her courage, she bit into the vegetables. Then she silently pushed the dishes Qin Yue delivered earlier in front of Lu Lixing. “All these should taste pretty good, let’s eat them for the afternoon.”

Even if she is beaten to death she will never eat Lu Lixing’s dark cooking!

——“Death warning, please finish 50% of all the dishes to complete the mission’s requirement.”

Lu Lixing stared dangerously at Ji Qingqing.

——“Anyone can eat it!”
