A mental computation was going on inside of Lu Lixing. “Fine, then call me Hubby 100 times to make up for it.”
“…”
That’s too over the top!
Lu Lixing really is becoming increasingly overboard.
Before it was 10, or 20, and now he demanded 100 times!
Was she a repeater?
Since he wanted to hear “Hubby” so much, how about she recorded it using a recorder?!
She took out her phone and yelled “Hubby” to the recorder on her phone.
“What are you doing?”
Ji Qingqing put her phone in front of Lu Lixing after she finished recording. “Don’t you want to listen to it? It’s the same on a recording.”
She started to play the recording immediately, playing it over and over.
The “Hubby” in the recorder continued on, but his life points didn’t change at all.
Lu Lixing stopped the recorder.
“At the very least I especially made these dishes for you. Could you show some appreciation?”
“Hubby, your first time in the kitchen is worth remembering, but we don’t have to celebrate it by finishing half of the dishes. How about this? I’ll take two bites.”
——“Life point +1. Current life points are worth 24 hours.”
Saying that, Ji Qingqing unflinchingly faced her doom. She picked up a slice of fish meat, tasted some vegetables, and swallowed a spoonful of corn to show her respect.
“Two more bites.”
Ji Qingqing’s face suddenly lost its vitality. She put down her chopstick and said, “Hubby, I’m still a sick person…”
—— “Life point +1. Current life points are worth 25 hours.”
Lu Lixing stared gravely at those three dishes. Using a pair of chopsticks, he picked up a big chunk of the Napoleon wrasse. Then he took a deep breath and placed it in his mouth.
The Napoleon wrasse was the most edible dish out of the three. Although the meat didn’t taste as tender as it should, apart from being slightly sour, there weren’t many issues with it.
“What are you doing?!” Ji Qingqing looked at him as if he was crazy.
Are these dishes even edible? she thought.
“Eating.”
“Are these edible? Don’t eat it anymore,” Ji Qingqing said as she picked a piece of stewed tender chicken out of his bowl, worried that Lu Lixing might continue to torture himself.
As soon as Lu Lixing picked up a piece of shrimp and chewed, his face became uglier than the bottom of the pot in the kitchen. The shrimp was overly sweet and salty.
He just remembered that Ji Qingqing had mistaken the sugar as salt. Why didn’t he point it out and redo it? Why did he continue on with that mistake?
He would rather ask the hotel to bring them new ingredients than to force down this dish.
Watching him chew forcefully, Ji Qingqing’s brows knitted together and her cheeks started to hurt.
Lu Lixing gripped his chopsticks tightly. The overly sweet and salty taste lingered on his taste buds and his tongue was almost paralyzed. Finally, after swallowing seven pieces of shrimp, he spits out the shrimp expressionlessly and gives in.
“Nevermind, throw them out.”
Worried that he would torture himself again, she immediately threw the three dishes into the trash can.
She then gave him a cup of warm water. “Drink some water to wash your mouth.”
Lu Lixing had to drink three huge cups of water in order to repress the strong taste of the mixture of flavors in his mouth.
—— “Mission failed. Life point -20. Current life points are worth 5 hours.”
“20 points?”
——“The higher the difficulty, the more life points it’s worth.”
Lu Lixing looked toward Ji Qingqing dangerously.
In the middle of picking up the food, Ji Qingqing felt a sudden chill. She lifted her head to look at him.
“What is it?”
“Two days ago at the filming site, you said I can do whatever I wanted. It’s still not yet fulfilled. What do you say?”
Ji Qingqing’s chopstick froze in mid-air.
She did mention it casually that day at the filming site to resolve the awkwardness there, but she didn’t think that Lu Lixing would take it seriously.
Ji Qingqing continued to eat as if nothing had happened. “Is it night time yet?”
