The King's Avatar: Reborn Sun Xiang, Girlfriend Su Mucheng

Chapter 142 Mu Cheng, let's live together!
The entire Glory Alliance is on holiday, and so is Excellent Era.

Apart from the online game department, there were only three or four people on duty, and the entire Excellent Era team was deserted.

However, Sun Xiang did not go home for the Chinese New Year this year, but chose to stay at Excellent Era to accompany Su Mucheng.

The 12th day of the 12th month of the lunar calendar.

Early in the morning, Su Mucheng called Sun Xiang, and the two went shopping together and bought a lot of ingredients.

Because it's Sun Xiang's birthday today, the cafeteria at Excellent Era is closed for the holiday.

Therefore, Su Mucheng planned to cook a lavish meal for Sun Xiang to celebrate his birthday.

So the two of them got up at dawn to go grocery shopping.

Two hours later, Sun Xiang returned home laden with bags and packages.

"Phew, I'm finally home."

After putting down several large bags, Sun Xiang seemed completely exhausted.

Seeing Sun Xiang's slumped-over appearance, Su Mucheng couldn't help but smile: "Tired already?"

"I've been shopping for two whole hours, and I'm carrying so much stuff. How can I not be tired?" Sun Xiang complained.

Su Mucheng scoffed: "You want to eat delicious food, but you complain about being tired."

"But we bought too much. Can we finish all of this?" Sun Xiang glanced at the things he had bought.

A fish, a bag of shrimp, a bag of ribs, a bag of vegetables, a bag of drinks, a bag of ingredients, and a bunch of kitchen supplies.

Su Mucheng suggested, "We can invite Ye Xiu and Guoguo over to eat together. It would be so much more fun to have two more people celebrating your birthday."

“That’s fine, but they have to prepare a big red envelope,” Sun Xiang said with a serious expression.

Su Mucheng joked, "Then should I prepare a big red envelope too?"

Sun Xiang laughed and said, "Forget about you, we're practically family."

Su Mucheng glanced at Sun Xiang and smiled, "You're all sweaty, why don't you go take a shower first? I'll clean up the vegetables."

"Row."

Sun Xiang agreed with the suggestion. His clothes were completely wet, and he really needed to take a shower and change his clothes.

Sun Xiang left Su Mucheng's room and went back to take a shower.

About ten minutes later, Sun Xiang knocked on Su Mucheng's door again.

"You're done washing so quickly? I haven't even finished preparing the vegetables yet."

Su Mucheng looked at Sun Xiang in surprise. It seemed like only a few minutes had passed.

Do guys shower that fast?
"It takes about ten minutes. Among the guys, I'm considered pretty slow."

Sun Xiang looked at Su Mucheng, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Su Mucheng had already put on a pink apron, and rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and snow-white arms.

Her beautiful hair was now tied up, revealing her snow-white neck, with the red ribbon from her apron hanging around her fair neck.

A few stray strands of hair clung to her delicate ears, making the already beautiful Su Mucheng exude an extremely alluring aura.

This is probably what they call femininity, right?
"In that case, you can help me wash the vegetables."

Su Mucheng didn't notice Sun Xiang's expression and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"Okay, which one should we wash first?" Sun Xiang asked.

"Wash the fish first, then wash the ribs and vegetables."

"Ok."

Sun Xiang started washing the vegetables.

He was originally reluctant to go into the kitchen; he had never cooked before in his entire life.

But he enjoyed helping Su Mucheng cook.

Sun Xiang quickly washed the fish, ribs, and vegetables.

Su Mucheng had already chopped some side dishes and started frying the fish in a pan.

Before long, the aroma of fish wafted over.

"smell good!"

Sun Xiang turned his head to look at Su Mucheng's pot.

I noticed that the fish that Su Mucheng fried was golden brown, and the fish meat didn't fall apart at all when she flipped it.

He's obviously a master at frying fish.

"I didn't expect you to be such a good cook," Sun Xiang said in surprise.

Su Mucheng smiled slightly: "I've been cooking for myself since I was little. Do you think I'm like you, a pampered young master who expects everything to be done for him?"

Sun Xiang glanced at Su Mucheng but didn't say anything.

He felt great sympathy for Su Mucheng's background.

As an orphan, she and her brother Su Muqiu depended on each other for survival from a young age, which shows how hard her childhood was.

However, Su Mucheng's net worth is now already in the tens of millions, making her a true young heiress.

After frying the fish, Su Mucheng started steaming the ribs.

Then he instructed Sun Xiang: "Wash the lobsters, cut off the heads, pull out the tails, remove the shrimp veins, and let them dry over there. I'll stir-fry the lobsters later."

After saying that, he added, "Can you peel shrimp?"

"Who are you looking down on?"

Sun Xiang thought he could do it, but he soon found himself in an awkward situation.

"Uh, why can't I remove the shrimp vein?"

Seeing Sun Xiang with the shrimp vein still inside, Su Mucheng smiled helplessly: "You have to do it like this, pinch here, and then slowly pull it out."

"Oh, I see." Sun Xiang immediately understood.

Following Su Mucheng's instructions, the shrimp vein was indeed pulled out perfectly.

After cleaning the lobster, Su Mucheng also put the braised fish she had prepared into a plate.

Sun Xiang walked over and couldn't resist picking up a piece of fish and putting it in his mouth, only to be immediately stunned.

"It's so delicious!"

The fish was not only melt-in-your-mouth tender, but also incredibly fragrant, even better than the fish in a five-star hotel. "Oh no, your cooking is so delicious, I probably won't be able to eat the cafeteria food anymore," Sun Xiang said, licking his fingers.

Su Mucheng was naturally very happy to receive praise for her cooking skills.

She rolled her eyes at Sun Xiang: "Although I know my cooking is delicious, you're exaggerating too much. It's obviously a case of flattery to kill."

Sun Xiang said with a serious expression, "It's no exaggeration. I reckon if you hadn't cooked enough rice, I would have eaten three big bowls of rice by myself."

"Then eat more vegetables."

Su Mucheng smiled and quickly began to stir-fry minced garlic and lobster.

Finally, stir-fried romaine lettuce with garlic.

After all four dishes were prepared, Su Mucheng said to Sun Xiang, "Put all the dishes on the table and set out the bowls and chopsticks. I'll go call Ye Xiu and Guoguo."

Sun Xiang nodded: "Then hurry up, or I'll have eaten all the food by myself before you guys get back."

"Can't you control your mouth?" Su Mucheng rolled her eyes.

Sun Xiang chuckled: "Who can resist such delicious food? You're practically killing me."

"loquacious."

Su Mucheng glared at Sun Xiang, then left the room to go to Happy Internet Cafe to call for help.

In about ten minutes, Su Mucheng, Ye Xiu, and Chen Guo entered the room.

"Happy birthday," Ye Xiu greeted.

Chen Guo took out a bulging red envelope and handed it to Sun Xiang: "There's not much money in this red envelope, just a token, don't think it's too little."

Sun Xiang readily agreed: "Not at all, it's just a token of appreciation. Come on, sit down and let's eat."

At a small coffee table, Sun Xiang and Su Mucheng sat on one side, while Chen Guo and Ye Xiu sat on the other.

"By the way, where's Tang Rou? Did she go home?" Sun Xiang asked casually.

Chen Guo nodded: "Yes, Xiao Tang went back the day before yesterday."

"Then she won't get to enjoy this feast." Sun Xiang picked up a drink and said to Ye Xiu and Chen Guo, "Come on, thank you Mu Cheng for preparing such a delicious meal. You've worked hard."

Su Mucheng also raised her glass and clinked it with Sun Xiang's: "It's alright. Happy birthday, you're another year older."

"Thank you thank you."

Sun Xiang took a sip of his drink and said, "Eat, eat! Mu Cheng's cooking is really amazing."

Because the table was small, Sun Xiang's left knee would occasionally bump into Su Mucheng's thigh when he was picking up food.

Although both of them were wearing pants, when they were close together, Sun Xiang could still feel a strange sensation, like a warm current flowing into his body from the point of contact.

Besides their legs, their arms often bump into each other when they pick up food at the same time.

The feeling at the moment of touch was indescribable.

Sun Xiang felt that Su Mucheng's skin was smooth and cool.

But each time, before Sun Xiang could even experience this wonderful sensation, their contact would end.

Sun Xiang glanced at Su Mucheng, wondering if she felt an electric shock the moment their skin touched.

But Su Mucheng remained calm, showing no unusual expression.

"Why are you looking at me? Didn't you say it was delicious? Hurry up and eat it."

Su Mucheng appeared calm, but her heart was pounding with excitement.

Girls are always more sensitive than boys. How could she not feel anything when she was in physical contact with Sun Xiang?

Sun Xiang assumed Su Mucheng hadn't noticed anything amiss, so he urged everyone to eat: "Yes, everyone, eat more vegetables."

The meal lasted half an hour. After finishing, Chen Guo and Ye Xiu left.

Sun Xiang then helped Su Mucheng tidy up the table.

After tidying up the table, Sun Xiang wanted to wash the dishes, but Su Mucheng stopped him.

"You rest, I'll do the dishes."

Sun Xiang shook his head: "That won't do. You work so hard as a cook, how can I let you wash dishes?"

Su Mucheng didn't refuse again: "Then let's go together."

The two started washing the dishes. After a while, Sun Xiang suddenly said, "Mu Cheng."

"What's wrong?" Su Mucheng looked at Sun Xiang in surprise.

Looking at Su Mucheng's stunningly beautiful face, Sun Xiang swallowed back the words he was about to say and instead said, "The rice you cooked is so delicious."

Su Mucheng was both amused and exasperated: "You've said that eight hundred times tonight."

Sun Xiang naturally knew.

But that's not what he wanted to say; what he wanted to say was...
Sun Xiang seemed to have made up his mind, so he called out again, "Mu Cheng."

"Ah."

"How about we become life partners?"

"what?"

Su Mucheng looked at Sun Xiang in shock; she hadn't expected him to say those words to her.

What does it mean?
Should I confess my feelings to her?
Su Mucheng blushed and said shyly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to live with you!"

Sun Xiang quickly explained, "No, you misunderstood me. That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Su Mucheng rolled her eyes. Living together as partners, does that mean there are several other things?
Sun Xiang explained, "What I mean is, let's eat together from now on. We don't have anywhere to eat during the Spring Festival, right? We can cook and eat together, just like roommates!"

Su Mucheng was immediately dumbfounded: "Please, that's called a meal buddy! Are you deliberately flirting with me?"

Sun Xiang chuckled sheepishly, "How could I dare to flirt with you? You know I'm not very educated, and I didn't even think of the word 'dinner buddy' right away, so..."

"really?"

Su Mucheng's eyes were filled with suspicion.

The girl's intuition told her that Sun Xiang was deliberately taking advantage of her.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

Having lived two lives, how could Sun Xiang not know the difference between a meal buddy and a life partner?
He said that to test whether Su Mucheng was interested in him.

If Su Mucheng is also interested in him and is willing to live together, then he would naturally be more than happy to accept it!
