Chapter 82

"Are you... sure this is edible?"

Looking at the indescribable 'blob' in front of them.

Lu Xuan and Su Yao fell into contemplation.

Lu Xuan said uncertainly, "Why don't you try it?"

"If you want me dead, just say it. Don't beat around the bush!"

"Uh..."

Lu Xuan was in a dilemma.

It shouldn't be like this!

After returning home, he couldn't wait to try it out.

The 'blob' in front of him was a low-end version of 'Peking Duck' that he had made according to the recipe in his mind.

But no matter how you looked at it, it didn't resemble Peking Duck at all!

Instead, it looked like some kind of cosmic cuisine!

Fortunately, it didn't have any strange smell.

Otherwise, Su Yao would have turned dark on the spot and shown Lu Xuan what's what.

"What should we do then?"

The two of them stared intently at the dish.

Reluctant to give up, but afraid to taste it.

"That's not right. I clearly didn't make any mistakes in any of the steps. Why did it turn out so ugly?"

Lu Xuan scratched his head, troubled.

"Um... maybe it has its own ideas?"

Su Yao wanted to comfort him.

But she didn't know how to comfort him.

She couldn't just take a big bite to show her loyalty, could she?

That would be too inhumane!

Just then, Aunt Liu, who had been watching Lu Xuan cook the whole time, suggested trying it.

"Let me do it."

"Aunt Liu..."

The real warrior was actually Aunt Liu!

Lu Xuan and Su Yao were immediately moved to tears.

"Aunt Liu, I'll call an ambulance for you!"

"I'll go get water!"

"Alright, alright, it's not that exaggerated."

Aunt Liu stopped the two of them, both amused and helpless.

"I watched Lu Xuan cook, and the ingredients he used were all ordinary, which basically eliminates the possibility of it being poisonous."

Looking at the 'blob' in front of her, Aunt Liu ate a bite without saying a word.

Then, under the reverent gazes of the two!

Aunt Liu nodded and commented.

"Not bad."

"Lu Xuan, you made Peking Duck, right? I've had it once."

"But it seems like yours tastes even better."

Lu Xuan was excited.

"Aunt Liu, you actually recognized it!"

"I knew it, there's definitely nothing wrong with what I made!"

Aunt Liu's small bite was a big encouragement for Su Yao.

With Aunt Liu's approval.

Su Yao picked up a spoon and scooped up a big mouthful!

"Mmm~"

As soon as it entered her mouth, it really tasted like roast duck!

"Wow! It really is!"

In her strange gaze, the 'blob' in front of her instantly became delicious.

Lu Xuan proudly crossed his arms.

"What did you think!"

He also took a bite and found that it tasted no different from what he had eaten before!

I guess that's what you'd expect from something made by the system.

It's just that the presentation is a bit lacking.

Lu Xuan glanced down at it with some disdain.

At this time, Aunt Liu said again.

"There's definitely no problem with the taste."

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why you made it like this..."

"It's probably because your knife skills are too poor."

"..."

Lu Xuan's smile froze on his face.

He never expected that he would lose in the end because of his knife skills!

That's not right, he doesn't have any knife skills at all...

Su Yao was already laughing beside him.

"Hahahaha!"

"..."

Lu Xuan glanced at her, feeling that her laughter was very annoying.

So he secretly vowed in his heart.

He must practice his knife skills diligently in the future, and one day he will get his revenge!

"Still laughing! Keep laughing and I'll make you eat it!"

"Mmm... I'm not laughing, *pfft*—"

Su Yao quickly covered her mouth.

But the laughter still burst out from between her fingers.

In the end, even Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

The three of them laughed together.

The plate of 'low-end Peking Duck' was eventually eaten up by the three of them.

After eating, the group sat on the sofa to rest.

Aunt Liu asked curiously.

"By the way, Lu Xuan, where did you learn this?"

"Logically speaking, you can only break down and recombine ingredients after you have a thorough understanding of the taste of each ingredient."

"With your knife skills..."

Obviously, Lu Xuan's knife skills had exposed him.

This was actually the first time he had cooked.

Before?

Before, Lu Xuan would always freeload off Gun'er-ge (Bro Gun).

Otherwise, do you think Gun'er-ge's egg fried egg could be so delicious?

It was all him!

Lu Xuan!

Who personally taught him!

"That's right, Lu Xuan, how did you do it?"

Su Yao also cast a curious gaze.

It had only been a day, but she felt that Lu Xuan had become even more mysterious.

Lu Xuan smiled slyly.

"I had an old master teach me."

"It's my first time making it, please forgive me if it's not good."

"First time?!"

Su Yao's eyes lit up.

Lu Xuan's first time...

Cooking, he actually gave it to her!

Not bad, not bad~

This time, Su Yao, you've made a killing!

Su Yao smiled extremely happily.

Completely forgetting that her first time...

Cooking, was also given to Lu Xuan.

Can't say she made a killing, but at least she didn't lose out.

After a simple clean-up, Aunt Liu went back to her room because she had something to do.

Su Yao took the initiative to suggest going out for a walk.

"Take a stroll? There's something I want to talk to you about."

"Okay."

The two walked side by side.

Before long, they strolled to a nearby park.

In the distance, several couples were sitting on benches, not knowing what they were huddled together eating.

Su Yao's face flushed slightly, and she retracted her gaze.

Then, she looked at Lu Xuan, hesitating to speak.

Lu Xuan also had some things he wanted to say to Su Yao, but he didn't know how to start.

In the end, Su Yao spoke first.

She looked straight ahead.

Cheekily put her hands behind her back, her steps were light and comical.

"Director Lu, what are you planning to film for your next movie?"

Lu Xuan turned his head to look over.

When he saw the familiar light in Su Yao's eyes.

He smiled.

It seemed that all his efforts had not been in vain!

"A romantic comedy, I suppose. Is Miss Su interested?"

Su Yao stopped and looked at Lu Xuan.

She nodded seriously, "Yes!"

She mustered her courage and said.

"If Director Lu doesn't mind, I am willing to become the sword in your hand!"

Her tone was firm.

This was a decision that Su Yao had finally made.

To become this man's warrior, to accompany him through success or failure.

Only in this way could she always stay by Lu Xuan's side.

"Mm..."

"Then it must be the sharpest sword!"

Lu Xuan smiled.

He thought of the former Su Yao.

That woman who was willing to dedicate everything to acting.

The one who was once recognized by the system as the most suitable actress.

Now, she had taken the initiative to express her desire to join.

How could Lu Xuan refuse!

He looked at Su Yao and replied seriously.

"It's my honor to have you join!"

"Then, let's get to know each other again?"

Lu Xuan straightened his collar and stood up straight.

He solemnly extended his hand.

"Hello, Lu Xuan."

"I'm a director."

At this moment, all of Su Yao's apprehension dissipated like a breeze.

She smiled, pursing her lips.

More beautiful than ever.

The golden sunset in the sky paled in comparison to this smile!

"Hello, Su Yao."

"I'm an actress."

And...

Your actress!

The two shook hands, smiled at each other.

Then separated.

......

"Speaking of which, can you not be so chuunibyou (middle-schooler syndrome) in the future?"

"It makes me so embarrassed."

"......"

Su Yao: Hmph! Go die!
