A clatter of pots and pans followed, and then the aroma of dishes wafted from the kitchen, whetting the appetite and making Han Chen involuntarily swallow.
He would never have imagined that food cooked by a pig could be so fragrant! It completely shattered his perception. Oh, wait! It was that a pig could cook! And cook so well!
Half an hour later, the system presented the dishes, beautifully plated, on the dining table. "Host... Boss! It's time to eat!"
Ming Li raised an eyebrow, put down her phone, and walked to the dining table, sitting down in a chair. The system quickly brought a bowl of rice to Ming Li and handed her chopsticks with care.
Ming Li glanced at the two people beside her and said in a faint tone, "Sit down."
"Okay!" Han Chen excitedly sat in his chair and started shoveling rice into his mouth as if possessed by a hungry ghost, making Ming Li and Wei Gelin’s mouths twitch.
Meanwhile, A Wan, who was cultivating, also smelled the aroma of the food. She floated out of her room, following the scent to the dining table. Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, A Wan couldn't help but swallow.
"Ahhh! Why didn't they call me for dinner? Are we not a family?!"
A Wan's inner thoughts were a torrent of bubbles. She blinked, and her gaze towards Ming Li instantly became pitiful.
Ming Li maintained her cold, expressionless little face and calmly took out a yellow talisman, sticking it onto A Wan.
A Wan was stunned for a moment. After realizing what it was, she tentatively reached for the chopsticks.
When she felt the cold touch of the chopsticks, A Wan paused, and then a flicker of joy flashed in her eyes.
And so, this scene unfolded at the dining table.
One person and one ghost were holding bowls and chopsticks, frantically snatching food, with no regard for their appearance... They were almost fighting over a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes...
Ming Li: ...
(￣_￣|||)
Wei Gelin watched this scene, his mouth twitching. He looked at Ming Li awkwardly and said, "Uh, Miss Lin, I'm sorry, Chen usually isn't like this..."
Ming Li glanced at Wei Gelin with a faint gaze and said nothing, picking up her bowl and calmly filling her stomach...
Wei Gelin: ...
Wei Gelin almost raised his hand to cover his face. After finishing the meal, he pulled Han Chen, intending to leave.
"No! I'm not leaving! I won't leave here even if I die now!"
Han Chen grabbed the passing system and held it in his arms, refusing to let go. Thinking of what had happened on the bus, Han Chen shook his head frantically at Wei Gelin.
The system, suddenly hugged tightly: ...? What the heck happened?
The system, realizing it was being held by a grown man, was filled with rejection, like a wronged woman who had been violated. Its expression was one of panic as it began to struggle wildly, trying to break free from Han Chen's embrace.
"Let go of me! You pervert! Let go of this System! Get your grubby paws off! Ahhh! I'm not clean anymore!"
Han Chen: ...
Ming Li: ...
Wei Gelin: ...
The mouths of the three twitched, and they almost rolled their eyes.
Han Chen felt disgusted and let go of the system.
The system instantly felt a sense of relief, quickly jumped out of his embrace, and rushed towards Ming Li, wanting to snuggle into her arms for comfort and a hug.
Ming Li sensed the system's intention and, with a blank expression, directly kicked it away.
The system, sent flying: ...
