After playing games together for the whole afternoon, the two reluctantly logged off.
Yang Wangshu just took off her gaming helmet, but in the blink of an eye, she put on a mask again, and Cheng Jinyang didn't even see her move.
Always claiming to be a beauty, but refusing to show her face or sing, how can anyone know if under the mask she has a crooked nose and a duck-like voice?
Thinking about it, she'll have to take it off for dinner later.
Meanwhile, Chu Qingqing had already brought out the dishes. This girl is worthy of being from a meat processing factory. She is very experienced in handling ingredients.
[T/N: Her slaughter house.]
From dry pot duck legs, crispy pork chops, black fish with beef, braised lion's head, stir-fried quail eggs with scallions, homestyle tofu, sautéed oilseed rape, to assorted grains platter, it was truly sumptuous. The chef's skills were excellent.
But perhaps there were a bit too many meat dishes.
As everyone sat down and picked up their chopsticks, the first thing they did was to grab the oilseed rape – after all, it was limited, and once it's gone, you can't have it anymore.
"Hey, don't just eat greens! Isn't the meat I cooked delicious?" Chu Qingqing said, puzzled.
"Who asked you to only make one plate of veggies?" Cheng Jinyang sneered, "Don't you understand that scarcity increases value?"
"If I served a plate of shit, would you all rush to eat it?" Qingqing retorted disdainfully.
Everyone immediately burst out when they heard this.
Using such vulgar words at the dinner table. Is this okay? This is not okay!
Xing Yuanzhi immediately put down her chopsticks, told Cheng Jinyang to "save some for me," and covered her mouth as she went to the bathroom.
So Cheng Jinyang helped her pick some tofu and oilseed rape to save, then turned around to see that Yang Wangshu had already eaten all the braised lion's head.
She didn't eat fast, but every time she picked up her chopsticks, it was for a whole lion's head. Her eating speed was so fast it was astonishing. The lower part of her mask could actually be lifted, revealing the cherry-like lips typical of a young girl, which were constantly stuffing food into her mouth.
Chew, swallow, chew, swallow, gulp, gulp.
A few minutes later, she put down her chopsticks: "I'm full!"
"You're are a goddess!" Chu Qingqing exclaimed, "Even dogs in rural areas can't eat as fast as you!"
"People's time is precious, and it shouldn't be wasted too much on eating and sleeping," Yang Wangshu said solemnly with synthesized electronic voice, then she turned and ran to the living room to put on the gaming helmet again and became immersed in the game.
At the dining table, everyone looked at each other.
Cheng Jinyang sighed softly. Looking at the male protagonists in novels, they all live with various beautiful girls who are gentle, lovely, innocent, lively, charming, and aloof. How come in my case, they're all a bunch of neurotics?
Can everyone just be normal? Can they?
He finished his meal slowly with a heavy heart, only to see Xing Yuanzhi coming out of the bathroom, having changed her clothes again.
Clearly, she just took a shower.
She returned to the table and sat down again, picking up the bowl Cheng Jinyang prepared for her, slowly eating the oilseed rape and tofu inside.
Miss Wang put down her chopsticks gracefully and wiped her mouth with a napkin.
As for Miss Qingqing, she swept away the remaining meat on the table like a whirlwind and began to drink hot milk contentedly.
Yes, it was real milk
A combination of meat and milk, this girl must have nomadic blood in her ancestry.
"Come on!" Cheng Jinyang had just sat down on the sofa in the living room when he saw Yang Wangshu turn around wearing a gaming headset, accurately finding his position and pulling his sleeve, saying, "Continue leveling up! Experience doubles during the event, don't you want to make the most of it?"
"What's the fun in playing games?" Chu Qingqing stood up and also extended an invitation to him, "Want to go for a walk after dinner?"
Cheng Jinyang hesitated.
"What walk? Let's play with the fitness ring after logging off later, won't that make up for the exercise?" Yang Wangshu unexpectedly heard what she said and retorted.
"Can you breathe fresh air outside while playing with the fitness ring at home?" Chu Qingqing asked with a smile.
"What fresh air outside? There's only car exhaust." Yang Wangshu said.
"We'll walk along the Shiqi River, not the main road. Where would the car exhaust come from?"
The two girls bantered back and forth, leaving Cheng Jinyang torn between them, not knowing what to do.
Normally, Yang Wangshu is younger and new here, so he should try to build a good relationship with her. Otherwise, if the first impression is bad, it's hard to improve the relationship later on.
However, Miss Qingqing had been with him longer after all, she was the old-timer in the team. If he were to show bias towards Yang Wangshu, how would Chu Qingqing feel?
Although she's usually easygoing, she's not stupid!
Over there, the two girls argued for a long time, unable to convince each other, so they both turned their gaze to Cheng Jinyang, waiting to see whom he would choose to be with.
Cheng Jinyang finally experienced the annoyance of being in a harem... No, he should say the annoyance of being a leader.
After all, he was the core of the team, and Miss Qingqing and Xiao Wangshu were both his subordinates. Now that a fierce dispute had occurred, it was up to him to make the final decision!
"Stop arguing!" Cheng Jinyang stood up and said decisively, "Listen to me!"
A few minutes later, except for Miss Wang who didn't like sports, Cheng Jinyang, Xing Yuanzhi, Chu Qingqing, and Yang Wangshu left the community and walked along the small path by the riverbank to the west.
Yang Wangshu walked ahead expressionlessly, playing with her handheld game console as if she were venting her anger by treating it as Cheng Jinyang.
Miss Qingqing, on the other hand, had a subtle expression. However, she was more calculating, smiling and chatting with everyone.
"Oh, by the way," she clapped her hands and said with a smile, "I heard that someone in our family recently had a relationship with an underage girl and was reported. They were publicly executed according to the family law."
"What's with that sly remark?" Xing Yuanzhi frowned.
Miss Qingqing looked at her in surprise, thinking, no way, is Yuanzhi so pure?
"Yeah," Cheng Jinyang also looked puzzled, "Isn't this just a made-up story?"
So Chu Qingqing felt a bit annoyed again. It was indeed a story she made up on the spot, but this guy pretended not to see through it, which was truly shameless.
Then there was a rumbling sound from above, as if some kind of attack hit a mental force field shield.
So the three of them became a little worried again, thinking that war was imminent. They didn't know how long this rare moment of peace would last.
Yang Wangshu ahead was still playing games, and suddenly she cheered excitedly, waving her small fist and shouting, "Yes, I dropped some valuable rare materials!"
Miss Qingqing silently watched her figure, thinking she really was just a child, unaware of anything, carefree and innocent.
Thinking like this, she felt a little ashamed.
Why did I just argue with a little sister?
Humph, it was indeed the fault of that scumbag.
So Miss Qingqing walked forward with a smile on her face, bent down slightly, and asked her with a friendly smile:
"Rare materials? What game are you playing?"
Yang Wangshu said coldly:
"Nothing, just killing time. Sister, an old folks like you will not be interested in this kind of game."
Chu Qingqing's smile instantly froze on her face.
Hmm, there should be metal components in the game console, right? There must be, right? I...
She was about to roll up her sleeves and rush over, but Cheng Jinyang and Xing Yuanzhi quickly pulled her back from the left and right.
"Forget it, she's still a child. Don't worry too much." Xing Yuanzhi advised with a smile.
"Yes, yes, don't be jealous." Cheng Jinyang also agreed.
Then he was stepped on hard by Miss Qingqing.
