"Alas..."
Shen Xiu'er sighed, feeling utterly exhausted and unwilling to say anything more.
"What's wrong with this girl?" Ming Li casually asked, picking up the system.
The system rolled its eyes. "Host, of course, it's because the female lead has met the male lead."
"Oh."
Putting down the system, Ming Li stretched and walked out.
She went to the kitchen and glanced at the figure busy inside. Ming Li paused for a moment before speaking, "Next time that guy bothers you again, just come to me directly. No need to trouble the police, officer."
Hearing the voice from the doorway, Shen Xiu'er's mouth twitched. "I know."
Suddenly, she seemed to recall something and changed the subject, turning to look at Ming Li and asking, "Sister, can you cook? I want to eat what you make."
Ming Li: "..." (￣_,￣)
Meeting the girl's expectant gaze, Ming Li frowned, glanced at the pot in the kitchen, and said, "I can try."
With that, Ming Li materialized and stepped into the kitchen.
"Host... Host, how about we just... order takeout..." It was afraid the kitchen couldn't handle it...
Ming Li twisted her wrists, ignoring the system. Instead, she turned to Shen Xiu'er beside her and said faintly, "You go out first. I'll call you when it's ready."
Shen Xiu'er's gaze fell on Ming Li with suspicion. "Sister, you can actually cook?"
Ming Li didn't reply. She picked up a knife and nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Shen Xiu'er said no more, confidently leaving the kitchen to Ming Li.
Ming Li looked at the pile of ingredients in front of her, her frown deepening. "How do I cook these?"
System: "......" (￣_￣|||)
After some thought, Ming Li took out a mobile phone and opened Baidu...
"Oil... two eggs... a spoonful of salt... low heat..."
Half an hour later, the system saw Ming Li working diligently and curiously leaned over, only to have its head filled with black lines.
⊙﹏⊙∥
What the heck! What is this black, gooey stuff?!
Looking at the recipe Ming Li had searched, it was indeed scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but why did the black stuff in the pot look so poisonous?
Ming Li looked at the finished product in the pot and frowned. She picked up a piece of the black substance with chopsticks, sniffed it, and then turned to look at the system...
The system, suddenly feeling a chill down its spine: "...Ho-ho-host, what do you want!"
Ming Li held the chopsticks out towards the system's mouth. "Try it."
Upon hearing this, the system shook its head like a rattle drum. "No! Host, that idea is very dangerous! It will kill the system!"
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Ming Li: "..."
In the end, Ming Li didn't go as far as to have the system test the poison... the dish, and instead clicked on a food delivery app and ordered two meals.
"Phew..." That scared the system to death!
Seeing Ming Li order takeout, the system breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, are you done?" Shen Xiu'er's expectant voice came from outside the kitchen.
Ming Li paused and said faintly, "Just a little longer, almost there." The phone showed that the rider had already accepted the order.
Another half an hour later, the door to the Shen residence was knocked.
Ming Li walked out with her phone, calmly opened the door, and accepted the takeout.
