While they were all waiting for Lin Xiaofeng to finish making the food, they engaged in a conversation.
Tang Xue exclaimed, "Whoa, Su Xian, spill the tea!" "Why did you suddenly apologize to Lin Xiaofeng the moment he walked in?"
Su Xian, with a sly smile playing on her lips, attempted to deflect the inquiry, her words laced with an air of mystery. "Tang Xue, my dear, there are certain complexities of life that are better off remaining mysterious, for the sake of maintaining harmony in our society."
Her words, delivered in a mysterious tone, cast a captivating aura around Su Xian, as if she held the key to a clandestine world of secrets.
Zhung Xian joined the chat and said, "Yes, sister Tang Xue, please stop pestering Su Xian. Otherwise, when she tells you about it, you might lose your temper and accidentally kill her"
Ji Xiaofei nodded. "Yes, Sister Tang Xue, don't ask Su Xian about it."
Tang Xue got a bit scared by both of them and then didn't ask again.
Then again, a sound came.
Lin Xiaofeng came with a pot emitting vapor.
Lin Xiaofeng was wearing an apron, which sparked a lot of curiosity among the ladies. However, when they caught a whiff of the aroma, their thoughts were disrupted.
Ji Xiaofei, smelling the rich aroma wafting from the pot, asked, "Darling Xiaofeng, what is this? Is it some kind of new dish?"
Zhung Xian joined "Yes, Lin Xiaofeng, what is this dish?"
They were both very curious when they saw the dish, as they had never seen or eaten anything like it before. They were eager to learn more about it.
Lin Xiaofeng, seeing the curious look on their faces, couldn't help but chuckle. They looked like an 8-year-old child discovering the mystery behind a smartphone.
Observing their expressions, Lin Xiaofeng chuckled before calmly responding, "This dish is called spaghetti, but I like to refer to it as noodles."
Ji Xiaofei, puzzled, remarked, "Noodles?" "The name is quite strange."
She can't understand the logic behind these long objects and how they can be edible for eating.
Others shared her confusion, yet the irresistible aroma of the dish captivated their attention.
Lin Xiaofeng brought out five plates from his storage ring and gave them.
"Let's give it a try; it's widely known that men excel in cooking," Su Xian suggested.
She scooped noodles from the pot onto her plate, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite, savoring the flavors without uttering a word.
Curious, Ji Xiaofei inquired, "How does it taste, Su Xian?"
Lost in the culinary delight, Su Xian remained silent, completely engrossed in the noodle experience.
Lin Xiaofeng encouraged Ji Xiaofei, saying, "Eat it, and you will understand."
Saying that, he also took noodles on his plate and started eating, but he didn't exhibit the same behavior as Su Xian.
Following his advice, Ji Xiaofei took some noodles onto her plate and tasted the dish.
As the group delved into their plates, the room filled with the sounds of slurping and contented murmurs. Ji Xiaofei tentatively took the next bite, her initial confusion transforming into appreciation for the unique flavors.
Lin Xiaofeng, observing their reactions, explained, "The beauty of spaghetti lies in its simplicity and the way it absorbs the flavors of the sauce." "It's an art in itself."
Zhung Xian, who had been quietly observing, joined the conversation. "It is indeed a fascinating experience." "I never thought that long, thin strands could be so delightful."
Su Xian, having savored her portion, finally chimed in, "See, Ji Xiaofei?" "Sometimes, the strangest things turn out to be the most delicious."
Encouraged by their camaraderie, Ji Xiaofei continued to explore the dish, discovering the joy of twirling the noodles around her chopsticks.
Lin Xiaofeng, pleased with their positive reactions, couldn't help but smile. "Food has a way of bringing people together, transcending differences."
"But it always helps in conquering heroines and increasing their favorability towards you."
Lin Xiaofeng can't help but smile when seeing the increasing stats of favorability.
After completing the dishes,
Ji Xiaofei got annoyed seeing that there was not much spaghetti to eat.
But her pride doesn't let her talk about this.
Others also share the same opinion, but they don't want to ask Lin Xiaofeng again to make it, as it might annoy him.
Lin Xiaofeng understands this, but he will not make the dishes again. The system has informed him that once they start eating the dish he made, they will continue eating until their stomachs burst.
But Lin Xiaofeng finds this cooking skill quite impressive. If there was a chance for the protagonist to become his friend, he could kill the protagonist by serving him food that he himself has prepared.
"This is not possible. Anyway, let's save this skill for another one of my enemies."
Su Xian suggested with a mischievous glint in her eye, "Why don't we make this evening more exciting?" "Let's enjoy some alcohol and make tonight unforgettable."
Zhung Xian, sharing the enthusiasm, agreed wholeheartedly, "Absolutely!" "Let's not just sip; let's make it a night to remember - a celebration of camaraderie and good times."
Lin Xiaofeng, sensing the lively atmosphere, grinned and added, "I have a collection of fine wines." "How about we explore different flavors and make this gathering even more special?"
Excitement filled the room as they decided to turn the evening into a festive affair. Lin Xiaofeng retrieved a selection of wines from his storage ring,with each bottle telling a unique story of its origin and the craftsmanship involved in its creation.
"To new friendships and unforgettable nights!" Zhung Xian proposed a toast as they clinked glasses.
Ji Xiaofei also raised his glass and said, "Yes, we will drink all night."
