Chapter 80

"Haozi, take Lu Xuan around Kyoto these next few days."

"Play for a few days before going back."

"Okay, Grandpa Fei."

That afternoon, Lu Xuan's words were shocking.

Li Hao thought the two old men would react in some way.

But nothing happened.

They just told him to take Lu Xuan out to have fun these next few days.

They didn't say anything else.

Li Hao didn't even get to say a few words to his grandfather, and their routine argument didn't even happen!

This made Li Hao breathe a sigh of relief.

He admired Lu Xuan even more.

"Xuan'er, you really dare to say anything."

Lu Xuan shrugged, saying helplessly, "I can't help it."

"The old man's eyes are too sharp. I accidentally revealed my true thoughts."

"No matter what, you're really awesome."

Li Hao felt a surge of excitement whenever he thought of what Lu Xuan had said.

He didn't expect Lu Xuan to see things so clearly!

One sentence summarized the domestic situation.

His perspective instantly broadened!

"A general's lonely grave is ignored, but the affairs of actors are known throughout the land?"

"Tsk tsk, I'm impressed!"

"Let's go, don't think about it anymore. I'll take you to eat roast duck."

Lu Xuan nodded, not thinking about it anymore.

Although he couldn't figure out what the two old men were thinking.

Random guessing wouldn't lead to any results.

So why bother adding to his worries?

All he had to do was remember his original intention and keep moving forward!

"Kyoto roast duck?"

"Then I have to send one back to Su Yao."

"Oh? So loving towards your wife?"

Li Hao immediately raised his eyebrows suggestively.

He didn't argue with his grandfather this time, at least not yet.

So he was in a great mood.

Lu Xuan retorted, "No, I mainly want Aunt Liu to try it."

"Tch! A man who says one thing but means another!"

"Stop blabbering, hurry up and buy it. I want to eat two!"

"You'll choke to death, you!"

......

Inside the villa,

After getting out of bed, Su Yao habitually sprayed some perfume.

Pfft, pfft—

The scent of jasmine immediately spread.

As she went downstairs, she knocked on Lu Xuan's door.

"Lu Xuan!"

"Get up and eat!"

"Aunt Liu has something to do today and went out. I'll cook."

After calling out, she was just about to walk into the kitchen.

But she suddenly stopped.

The apron in her hand fell to the ground.

She forgot.

Lu Xuan... had already gone to Kyoto.

Now she was the only one left at home.

"......"

An unspeakable sense of loss spread in Su Yao's heart.

Lu Xuan was used to Su Yao.

And wasn't Su Yao already used to Lu Xuan as well?

Used to waking Lu Xuan up every morning.

Used to testing the food for poison for Lu Xuan every meal.

Used to bickering with Lu Xuan whenever she had a break.

Used to...

Always watching Lu Xuan, fantasizing about things that might or might not happen.

Su Yao stood there blankly.

After a long time, she finally sighed softly.

"It's good that he's not here, it's easier to cook."

Lu Xuan was very picky about his food.

He didn't like celery, stubbornly thinking that it was poisonous.

He also didn't dare to eat chili peppers, as it would easily cause tonsillitis.

There were many more...

All of which were experiences that Su Yao had gathered while feeding him.

She silently remembered them all.

Now that Lu Xuan wasn't home, Su Yao thought she should be able to relax a little.

But when she picked up the frying pan.

She realized she was wrong.

It turned out that without that person, she didn't even have the motivation to cook.

"Lu Xuan..."

......

Kyoto, a nameless alley street.

Unnamed Kyoto Roast Duck!

Lu Xuan and Li Hao were eating with greasy mouths.

"Xuan'er, is the roast duck here authentic?"

"Authentic! This is the best roast duck I've ever had. It's a pity that Su Yao couldn't come and try it too."

"... Can you please stop mentioning Su Yao every three sentences?"

Lu Xuan was stunned, "Do I?"

He didn't think it was that exaggerated.

It was just a casual mention, not every three sentences.

"......"

Li Hao looked at him speechlessly.

He didn't say anything.

Although Li Hao had never been in a relationship, he knew everything!

Aren't all men and women in love like this?

After eating, Li Hao asked Lu Xuan.

"Do you want to pack some for her to take back?"

"Pack..."

Now that he was here, he couldn't go back empty-handed, right?

Lu Xuan thought it was a good idea.

Then he directly asked the owner.

"Boss, can you deliver this roast duck by express?"

"Yes, we can vacuum-pack it."

"Will the taste change?"

The owner laughed, "Young man, you're joking. Which roast duck doesn't change after being vacuum-packed!"

"This stuff tastes best when eaten right away!"

"... Uh."

Lu Xuan frowned.

He wanted Su Yao to taste the freshest Kyoto roast duck.

But if she couldn't eat it on the spot, he could only mail it.

That would take at least two days!

Li Hao saw Lu Xuan's hesitation and advised.

"How about... you bring her here to eat it next time?"

Who knew when that would be!

Lu Xuan shook his head.

"No need, I'll think of a way."

He stared at the roast duck in front of him, lost in thought.

He remembered the last task, the system had rewarded him with a cooking skill.

'Self-Deceiving Cooking'

The name was a bit strange, and Lu Xuan didn't claim it at the time.

Now, Lu Xuan silently recited in his heart.

[Claim]

A stream of information began to be transmitted into Lu Xuan's memory.

Lu Xuan closed his eyes slightly, pinching his brow.

It was a little stinging.

This process lasted for more than ten seconds.

But after understanding what this skill meant.

Lu Xuan smiled again.

"What a self-deceiving cooking!"

"What self-deceiving?"

"Nothing."

Lu Xuan had an idea in his mind.

Then he raised his hand and asked the owner for another roast duck.

Li Hao was dumbfounded: "Are you really going to eat two?"

He could barely finish one!

When did Lu Xuan's appetite become so big?!

"Hehe, you'll find out later."

Lu Xuan smiled mysteriously.

Then he buried his head and ate the duck.

Products of the system are always top-notch.

This skill allowed Lu Xuan to eat a delicacy and then use other simple ingredients to recreate the taste.

For example,

Dried tofu with peanuts would taste like braised chicken.

White steamed buns with black sesame powder would taste like chocolate cake.

And so on, which was the so-called...

Self-deceiving cooking!

The pinnacle of which was the famous 'vegetarian burger'.

It looked like you were eating a big piece of meat.

But in reality, you were only eating a pile of vegetables such as coconut, potatoes, and wheat!

It was known as the gospel of dieters.

"嗝~" (嗝 = gē = burp)

After finishing another roast duck, Lu Xuan had recorded all its delicious information.

And had a corresponding solution.

After rubbing his belly, he called Li Hao to go back.

"Go back? Go where?"

"Go home!"

Lu Xuan couldn't wait to let Su Yao try his cooking.

People had to give and take.

He had eaten Su Yao's cooking for so long, he had to return the favor.

Otherwise, if others heard about it.

They would think that he, Lu, was a gigolo!

That night,

After telling the two old men,

Lu Xuan left the next day.

Before leaving, Elder Li pulled Lu Xuan aside and gave him some instructions.

As for the content, only the two of them knew.

On the way back, Lu Xuan couldn't hide his excitement.

He was preparing to give Su Yao a surprise.

On the other side, Su Yao had a sleepless night.

In her wild thoughts, an idea that had been brewing for a long time was completely solidified.

"I'll tell Lu Xuan when he gets back!"

"But... when will Lu Xuan be back?"
