I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 88: Hotpot?
"Shilu, I've sewed it." Lin Yuan took the brown stuffed bear and checked it over and over again. After making sure that there were no remaining wounds on the little bear's body, he said seriously.

Shi Lu was tinkering with cooking in the kitchen. She really knows how to cook and likes to share delicious food with others.

After Lin Yuan "cured" the little bear, he had nothing to do, so he simply leaned against the kitchen door, holding a doll in each hand.

On the stove, a large black pot filled with red oil was bubbling and white steam was rising.

A strong fragrance drifted through the air. Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and stayed at the kitchen door, refusing to leave.

She observed Shilu's kitchen.

All the utensils in the kitchen are neatly arranged and the refrigerator is always stocked with fresh ingredients.

Shi Lu is very good at cooking, so I guess his cooking skills are not bad.

Shi Lu glanced at the poor stuffed bear with reptile-like stitches all over its body, and his hand holding the spoon trembled as he said with concern:

"Lin Yuan, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Lin Yuan thought about it carefully and replied, "No."

Shi Lu continued to busy himself in the kitchen. Lin Yuan knew that if he went in, he might make things worse, so he stood at the kitchen door and witnessed the birth of a big meal.

The fragrance spread almost to the entire building. When Shi Lu walked into the living room carrying a large pot of fragrant hot pot, Lin Yuan realized that Shi Lu might be a hidden chef.

Lin Yuan praised generously: "Shi Lu, you are amazing."

When Shi Lu heard the praise, his eyes curved like crescent moons.

"It's just like that actually." As if he thought of something, Shi Lu's raised brows fell back down.

"My parents weren't nice to me when I was little. If they weren't home, I would have to fend for myself."

Shi Lu recalled the past. In fact, she didn't tell her friends about her parents' alcoholism and domestic violence because she didn't want to pass on her bad mood to her friends.

"Anyway, I cook by myself, and over time I have become quite good at cooking." Shi Lu held the rice bowl in his hand, not in a hurry to pick up his chopsticks, "I'll tell you a secret."

"I used to cook in my dorm room, and my roommates were all impressed by my cooking skills, saying they had never eaten anything so delicious... But it was dangerous, and there was no next time after that."

Lin Yuan stared at the bowl and thought, "Only shabby dormitories are dangerous. Luxury dormitories don't have so many rules."

Lin Yuan’s thoughts went back to a long time ago, when she was first sent to the hospital by her adoptive parents, and she seemed to be living in a high-end single dormitory.

Adoptive parents...

As time passed, the faces of the two people gradually became blurred in Lin Yuan's memory.

She lowered her eyes and couldn't help but say, "I haven't seen my parents for a long time. I don't even remember what they look like."

What Lin Yuan was talking about were naturally his adoptive parents. As for his biological parents, he had even less impression of them.

Ever since she could remember, her adoptive parents were by her side, and they had never concealed from their adopted daughter the fact that Lin Yuan was not their biological child.

Moreover, according to them, Lin Yuan's biological parents had died long ago, and she had an outstanding brother. They originally wanted to adopt the child, but for some reason they adopted Lin Yuan instead.

Lin Yuan searched his memory and vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a person.

But what does that have to do with her?

That blood-related brother lived a life that had nothing to do with her, and perhaps she would never have the chance to see her only remaining relative in her entire life.

Now Lin Yuan has abandoned everything related to the past and is almost "reborn" in the world of sailing. There is no need to remember those people and events that seem as long ago as in his previous life.

Lin Yuan shook his head, shook off his worries, picked up the bowl and chopsticks very naturally, and began to enjoy the food.

Shi Lu was stunned on the spot, his lips trembling: "I'm sorry, Lin Yuan, I didn't know..."

She thought she had touched upon Lin Yuan's sorrow.

——I haven’t seen my parents for a long time and almost forgot what they look like.

Shi Lu could imagine that Lin Yuan was an orphan who had lived alone until now, always so calm and unperturbed.

It's not because she was born that way, it must be because life has made her what she is now.

Obviously, Lin Yuan is not much older than her. In some ways, Lin Yuan is even more like a child than her.

Shi Lu sniffed and his eyes suddenly became moist.

"I'm sorry, Lin Yuan..."

Shi Lu kept apologizing, and suddenly he felt that his past experiences were nothing.

It's just some physical and psychological injuries, how can they compare to Lin Yuan who has problems with his life?
Lin Yuan was so miserable, but he was living a good life. Why should she let those bad memories trap herself?

Shi Lu's heart suddenly became clear, and his expression was complicated, looking at Lin Yuan with a hint of gratitude. But Lin Yuan was only concentrating on eating, and his eyes were misty from the hot food.

"Sister Lin Yuan, actually when you first moved in, I had some misunderstandings about you."

Lin Yuan ate while listening.

Shi Lu seemed to regret his arbitrary decision at that time: "My special ability can judge people's kindness and malice. When I first met you, you were full of malice that was too shocking."

Shi Lu's memory went back to that evening. That day, she went upstairs with her stuffed bear in her arms, and suddenly all her attention was attracted by the new neighbor.

She had never felt such strong and bottomless malice and death.

Lin Yuan paused for a moment while holding the chopsticks, and listened as Shi Lu continued to speak.

"But I find that your malice is only directed at bad people."

Shi Lu said seriously: "You didn't even judge the hunters in the dungeon. I found that you... are actually a kind person, but you may not even know it."

Lin Yuan fell into deep thought because of this sentence.

Just then, a tall figure appeared outside the corridor window.

——It’s Fang Yao from the fourth floor.

The thin girl knocked on the glass, her eyebrows raised and her lips slightly pursed, her meaning was obvious.

"Add me in?" Fang Yao asked silently.

Well, it turns out he came here to eat for free.

Lin Yuan put his legs under the table and refused to move at all.

Shi Lu stood up and walked to the door to open it for Fang Yao.

"It smells so good!" Fang Yao looked at the hot pot with envy. He touched the chocolate he brought with him and suddenly felt that the stored food was tasteless.

"Xiaolu, Xiaolin, when did you two become so close that you can even sit together for dinner."

Fang Yao said happily: "I want to join you too!"

Fang Yao and Shi Lu became neighbors earlier and have a pretty good relationship with each other.

A pair of bowls and chopsticks were naturally added to the dining table.

"Xiaolu, why are you crying?" Fang Yao asked curiously.

Lin Yuan interrupted: "It was caused by the hot pot. Look at me."

Fang Yao glanced at Lin Yuan's wet eyes and suddenly realized.

"You're crying like this and you still want to eat hotpot. Let me taste how delicious it is!"

Fang Yao started eating immediately, and the amount of food in the pot was visibly reduced.

Lin Yuan blinked in disbelief, and couldn't help rubbing his eyes, and said in a shocked tone: "You just want to taste it?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself, has this person never eaten in his entire life? He can finish a bowl of rice in just two bites.

The key point is that Fang Yao's stomach is like a bottomless pit. No matter how much he eats, he never stops and his stomach never shows any signs of bulging.

"Fang Yao." Shi Lu reminded helplessly, "There are others here. You've finished eating, what will Sister Lin Yuan eat?"

Fang Yao reluctantly stopped eating and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

Lin Yuan looked at the empty bottom of the pot and asked: "Is your characteristic called starving ghost?"

"Ha, you guessed it." Fang Yao joked.

After eating and drinking his fill, Fang Yao stood up and left. He didn't feel a bit encumbered at all and didn't look like a man who had just finished a whole pot of meal.

Lin Yuan also said goodbye to Shi Lu and returned to his home on the third floor.

As soon as he entered the house, Lin Yuan saw the contract on the table emitting a dazzling light.

Lines of golden words kept appearing.

[Lin Yuan, you have advanced to the next level already? ]
