Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Qianjie, holding a plate in one hand and chopsticks in the other, said with great dissatisfaction.

Pado rubbed her hand in pain and looked at Bai Qianqu.

"Guest? Oh, you must be me? Hello, hello, my name is Pado, so can you eat now? If you don't eat, Brother Qianjie won't let me eat either! Please! I'm about to starve to death!"

Bai Qianqu: ""

He looked at the pitiful Pado, touched his own belly, and gave Pado a look of sympathy.

He wanted to eat right away, but it was obvious that not everyone had arrived yet, so he couldn't just start eating.

At this moment, Ai Li, who was sitting next to Bai Qianqu, heard Bai Qianqu's stomach growling and said very considerately, "Qianqu, are you hungry? It's okay, the others will be here soon anyway, why don't we eat first!"

As they were talking, Bai Qianqu saw Gretchen and Kosmo walk into the restaurant, and the two of them saw Bai Qianqu immediately.

Gretchen took the initiative to greet everyone: "Good evening, everyone. Uh, this guest is—"

Ellie winked at Gretchen: "It's Chikuma, I told you before!"

"Oh, I see, she's Ellie's good friend! That means she's Gretchen's good friend too. Hello, my name is Gretchen, and his name is Kosmo. We're both students at Changkong University. Nice to meet you."

"Hello." Bai Qianqu greeted the two of them.

He glanced at Gretsch, feeling a slight pang of regret. In this world, Gretsch was the older Gretsch, and she already appeared to be a university student.

Soon, Qianjie brought out the remaining dishes. Upon learning that the rest of the people were not returning, he flew into a rage.

"What are you busy with outside all day! You never even come home for meals! You might as well not come back at all!"

Everyone was used to it and not surprised, after all, they all knew that Qianjie had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Even though he looked very angry now, he would still be busy cooking a delicious meal when everyone came back.

Bai Qianqu was finally able to start eating. He casually took a bite of the stir-fried eggs with chives in front of him, and his eyes lit up immediately.

This simple home-style dish is surprisingly tender and refreshing, with a light and non-greasy flavor, which shows that the cooking time and temperature were controlled very well!

I have to say, this skill is simply unparalleled! Even the best chefs at five-star hotels probably couldn't compare to Qianjie's culinary skills!

There are two things in life that you should never miss: beautiful scenery and delicious food.

Food is definitely one of the most wonderful things in the world. The pleasure of having your taste buds fully satisfied is irreplaceable. When your tongue tastes delicious food, the satisfaction you feel is an exquisite feeling that is hard to give up.

After all, as the saying goes, "turn grief into appetite." This allows one to use the pleasure of delicious food to alleviate inner unhappiness.

No matter the era, people will never give up their pursuit of delicious food.

Chapter 213 Ellie's Pajamas

Since arriving in this world, Bai Qianqu has been eating and drinking for free at Anti-Entropy at noon, and usually eats instant noodles when she gets home at night. She's long been sick of it, so she was really touched to finally taste the flavor of home-cooked food.

When Ai Li saw Bai Qianqu looking so touched, she felt very strange.

"Has Chiku not had anything good to eat in a long time? What do you usually eat?"

"The cafeteria," Bai Qianqu answered instinctively.

"What if you go back in the evening or on the weekend?"

"Takeout or instant noodles."

"Have you always eaten like this? That's so unhealthy!"

"There's nothing I can do. I've been like this since I was a child. I'm lucky if I can have anything to eat. I'm sometimes hungry and sometimes full. I don't care about health or anything else. I've tried to cook it myself, but it tastes so bad that I stopped."

Eden was shocked to hear this!

Did you go hungry one day and eat a full day the next? Did you not even have enough to eat when you were a child?

Isn't this too tragic?

How did someone hone such musical skills in such harsh conditions? What incredible artistic talent that must have taken!

If he could achieve so much in such a difficult environment, then if he were in my comfortable environment, he might have achieved something no less than me!

Eden felt that his understanding of Bai Qianqu had been refreshed once again!

Ellie was almost in tears; she hadn't expected Bai Qianqu to have suffered so much.

The two looked at each other, as if they had made up their minds!

You must make it up to him properly!

Soon Bai Qianqu noticed that there seemed to be more and more food in front of him, and no matter how much he ate, he couldn't finish it. It turned out that Ai Li and Eden were constantly putting food on his plate, one on each side.

Eden: "Little Chiku, this pork chop is delicious, you should try it."

Ellie: "This pig liver from Chiku is also quite good."

Eden: "This pig's trotter is delicious."

Ellie: "This pork kidney is delicious too."

Bai Qianqu was full of question marks. Why did it feel like these two were treating her like a pet, constantly feeding her?

And what kind of junk did Ellie put on her plate?

Pork kidneys, pork liver, leeks, mutton, loach, and black fungus.

Are you sure it wasn't intentional?

Do I look that weak?

Suddenly, he felt something soft and squishy nudging his legs. Looking down, he saw it was Paddy's Fat Cat Food can.

It turns out that Pado was wolfing down her food and didn't care about the canned food at her feet, so she came to Bai Qianqu to beg for food.

When no one was looking, Bai Qianqu tossed the pork kidneys to the canned food vendor.

The ignorant canned food ate the pork kidneys and found them delicious, even affectionately rubbing against Bai Qianqu's leg.

Finally, the meal was over. Bai Qianqu patted her stomach contentedly, feeling that she hadn't eaten so comfortably in a long time.

After dinner, everyone sat on the sofa, enjoying Qianjie's desserts and chatting comfortably.

Although Bai Qianqu doesn't talk much, she doesn't come across as aloof. She speaks very casually and seems like a very gentle person.

With Ellie introducing him to everyone, he quickly became familiar with them.

After a conversation, Bai Qianqu had a general understanding of Gretchen and Kosmo in this world.

Gretchen's parents are researchers at a large organization, and their work often requires them to travel all over the world. Because she is close friends with Eden's parents, Gretchen stays with them.

Kosmo is an ordinary college student who once performed a heroic act, which was witnessed by Eden. Eden noticed that Kosmo was looking for a place to rent a house, so he invited him to stay at the Golden Courtyard for free.

This shows that Eden's invitations are very random; as long as you catch her eye, your identity doesn't matter.

The other guests all know each other. Although some don't stay here often, they always come over to get together every now and then.

Eden took out a wine glass, poured himself a glass, and poured a glass for Ellie and Bai Qianqu. The others didn't drink alcohol, so he poured them juice.

"We should have a drink after dinner." Ellie placed the glass in front of Bai Qianqu. "Come and have a taste. This time it's a genuine, top-quality wine, not the inferior one from last time."

Drinking alcohol after a meal? What kind of habit is that?

Bai Qianqu didn't understand, but when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so she picked up her wine glass and took a small sip.

"How is it? Is it good?" Ellie asked Bai Qianqu with a grin.

"Hmm, it doesn't feel as sour anymore, it's a bit different."

Eden swirled his glass, gazing at the deep red liquid within. "Of course," he said, "this is a fine wine that I had a friend bring back from a vineyard. While it's not the absolute best, its purity is undeniable. It's made from the first batch of grapes, every drop is pure essence."

She took another small sip, and two blushes appeared on her face: "These liquids inspire me. As soon as I drink them, many beautiful melodies come to mind. Many of my works are completed in this half-drunk, half-awake state. It's a wonderful feeling, isn't it?"

Bai Qianqu nodded in agreement and understanding. Many artists have their own creative habits, and inspiration does indeed come faster when they are drunk.

Ellie nudged Bai Qianqu and said with a smile, "Look, isn't Eden becoming adorable? If she drinks a little more, she'll become even more adorable, and she even likes to give things to others, look—"

"Eden~~~" Ellie sat down next to Eden and said in a very coquettish tone, "I'm tired of the gem you gave me last time, so I'm returning it to you. Do you have any more fun little things?"

“Oh, is that so?” Eden tilted his head and thought for a moment. “I just received a few of the latest silk pajamas. They’re a design by the world-renowned fashion master, Chihiro, that she just finished this month. Come to my room later and try them on. They’re really beautiful, and I’m sure you’ll love them.”

"Okay, then Eden has to pick out the prettiest one for me!"

Ai Li turned to Bai Qianqu and gave her a thumbs up: "Qianqu, do you want to come and watch together?"

Bai Qianqu shook his head frantically. He had only thought about the scene for a moment when he felt a burning sensation in his nose and dared not continue thinking about it.

And is it really appropriate to invite a boy like myself to watch something like this?

Ellie is so carefree!

Seeing Bai Qianqu's embarrassed expression, Ai Li laughed happily, her voice like the tinkling of silver bells.

Bai Qianqu rolled her eyes helplessly. Needless to say, this was yet another prank targeting her.

He ignored Ellie and turned to look at Gretchen and the others, only to find Gretchen hunched over the table, drawing something with a pen.

Chapter 214 Paradise Werewolf Kill

Driven by curiosity, Bai Qianqu walked over and found that Gray was drawing a sketch, the subject of which was Qianjie, who was clearing the table.

Greta only spent a short ten minutes drawing, and by then a very vivid sketch had appeared on her drawing paper, looking quite lifelike and impressive.

When Kosmo saw Bai Qianqu walking over, he asked with some curiosity, "Does Teacher Qu Yin also know how to draw?"

"I know a little," Bai Qianqu said modestly. "Gresh's painting skills seem quite good, and she's not very old either. Did she start learning from a very young age?"

When Gretchen was mentioned, Kosmo became noticeably more talkative.

"Of course, Gretchen's painting skills are unparalleled. Don't let her age fool you; she's only twenty. She's already the national champion in youth painting competitions, and she's also the head of our Changkong University Painting Club. She's known as a genius young female painter."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qianqu was also secretly taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Gretchen in this world is still so talented in painting, becoming a national champion at the age of twenty.

Even if you start practicing from birth, it would be very difficult to do that.

This must be what they call a genius!

Kosmo looked at Bai Qianqu, and was also very surprised.

He had seen many online discussions about Qu Yin before, and he had also participated in discussions about Qu Yin's gender. He even once thought that Qu Yin was a beautiful young female composer.

He finally met the real person today, but he didn't expect Qu Yin to be a boy, and he looked about the same age as him. He was still a student, but the other party was already a well-known composer!

Compared to this, Kosmo felt that his opponent seemed very strong.

If he could become as impressive as the other person, he would be so cool, right?
