Chapter 274 - I discovered there's a benefit to dating (1)
Du Ruo said, "The search team looked down on my Ming Hong Knife yesterday. Can you set the ruby that Bei Nuan gave me onto the handle of the knife so that it looks more awesome?"
Bei Nuan thought; that's not the reason why they don't think highly of your cosplay knife.
Lu Xingchi bluntly said, "I can only control metal. I can't manipulate plastic."
"How do you know if you don't give it a try?" Du Ruo didn't give up. He directed Bei Nuan to take out the knife and ruby, closely looked at them, placed the beautiful ruby without flaws on the knife handle, and said to Lu Xingchi , "Come on."
Lu Xingchi only glanced at it before saying, "It won't work."
Du Ruo was unsatisfied. "You didn't even seriously try."
Lu Xingchi gave the knife his full attention. After a moment, he still said, "I really can't do it."
Lu Xingchi couldn't control the knife. That was irrefutable evidence that the knife wasn't made of metal.
While making ice cubes, Bei Nuan gave Du Ruo an idea. "How about you take a real knife, use it to dig out a hole in the handle, and use glue to secure the ruby into the hole?"
Du Ruo refused, "No way. Using things like glue is for making cosplay props."
Everyone else thought; isn't that what it is?
Du Ruo glumly had Bei Nuan put the knife and ruby back into her pocket space.
Bei Nuan comforted him. "If I have the chance, I'll definitely find you a good knife. A knife that's so sharp it can slice through falling hair and silently cut steel." She added, "It'll definitely be sharpened."
Tang Tang soon finished cooking his mouthwatering chicken. In addition to the mouthwatering chicken, he also made a table full of his hometown speciality dishes. All of the dishes had red peppers, numbing and spicy. The meal fully met Du Ruo's request.
The chili oil was made from scratch by Tang Tang and had plenty of extra strong Sichuan peppers. The seasoning was on point, and the chicken was tender. None of the other dishes were as popular as the mouthwatering chicken.
Everyone was grabbing the chicken to eat. Du Ruo was the fastest one. Tang Tang had clearly cooked two chickens, but they acted as if there wasn't enough.
Moreover, Du Ruo and Bei Nuan would be interested in the same piece of chicken. They were simply natural nemesis.
Lu Xingchi looked absent-minded. What was he thinking about?
While Bei Nuan and Du Ruo were fiercely fighting over food, they suddenly discovered that Lu Xingchi had shockingly entered the fray too.
Every time Bei Nuan and Du Ruo's chopsticks reached for the same piece of meat, Lu Xingchi would always get it before them, and then he would put it in Bei Nuan's bowl.
With Lu Xingchi's help, Bei Nuan immediately got an advantage and was very pleased.
"Everything that Song Ce said is probably true," While helping her grab meat, Lu Xingchi said apropos of nothing.
Ah, so that's what he was thinking about.
Bei Nuan thought; of course, he had told the truth. She had used the Absolute Obedience ability to order Song Ce to tell the truth.
Lu Xingchi's observation ability had always been good. He could tell that Song Ce wasn't lying.
While searching for the best piece of chicken, Du Ruo said, "That Song Ce knows how to make the vaccine. Let's think of a way to help him."
Jiang Fei said with a smile," He doesn't believe us. Otherwise, he can come with us."
Lu Xingchi lightly said, "It's fine if he doesn't come with us. We can clear the way for him so that he can smoothly travel to the safe zone."
Bei Nuan thought; Huo Ren, you're doomed.
Lu Xingchi had obviously moved up the priority of killing Huo Ren.
When Lu Xingchi stood up and went to the kitchen to refill rice, the mouthwatering chicken plate was empty except for the last piece.
Bei Nuan swiftly put her chopsticks on it to claim it.
Du Ruo wasn't slow either. He caught the other side of the chicken piece with his chopstick.
For a while, they fought with their chopsticks. Neither side retreated.
Their eyes met, and sparks flew.
Even ignoring Du Ruo's strength, his chopstick skills were much better than Bei Nuan's. Little by little, the piece of chicken moved closer to him.
Without Lu Xingchi's help, Bei Nuan was at a disadvantage.
Bei Nuan thought; she had to use her ultimate move and silently said the incantation.
"Du Ruo, let go!" Bei Nuan stared at Du Ruo. Her face was stern as if she was a martial art master delivering the final blow in a battle for supremacy.
Du Ruo seemed as if he was struck by lightning. His hand froze. He loosened his chopstick's grip on the meat, and lifted up his chopsticks.
With a swish, Bei Nuan snatched away the last piece of the precious chicken.
Lu Xingchi came back from the kitchen and sat down.
He had been absent-minded the entire meal and hadn't eaten much. Bei Nuan placed that piece of chicken in his bowl.
Lu Xingchi came out from his thoughts and raised his head. He smiled at Bei Nuan and sent that piece of chicken back to her bowl.
"It's the last piece, you eat it."
Bei Nuan moved it back to his bowl. "You eat it. I already ate a lot."
Lu Xingchi thought it over. "How about we share it?"
He deftly split the piece of chicken and put the bigger half into Bei Nuan's bowl. They lovingly shared Bei Nuan's spoils of war.
Sitting across from them, Du Ruo silently watched and felt somewhat aggrieved. He suddenly said, "I discovered there's a benefit to dating."
