Cultivation Shura Field

The shop owner was busy and flustered, but when he saw the short-haired girl, he immediately put down his work and came over to her with a familiar smile, saying, "Xiao Lan, you're here? Order whatever you want!"

Shen Lan looked at the menu on the wall.

The shop owner took another look and asked with a smile, "Is this handsome boy your boyfriend? Brother Shen never told me that!"

Shen Lan: "Don't get me wrong, Xu Zhe is my... younger brother."

Shop owner: “Is he your cousin?”

Shen Lan shook her head slightly: "No, we are not related by blood. We recognized each other ourselves."

The shop owner was stunned: "It has nothing to do with your father?"

Shen Lan: "It doesn't matter."

"I recognized it myself..." The shop owner laughed, "I understand, I understand."

Shen Lan: "Uncle, stop making trouble. How about this, first give us ten skewers of roasted lamb, ten skewers of beef, and then..."

Xu Zhe reminded: "I really can't eat much, you should be more careful."

The shop owner was enthusiastic: "Little handsome boy, we buy the best meat and season it with secret seasoning. It is absolutely delicious!"

Xu Zhe smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not doubting your cooking skills, I just really can't eat it. I ate too much at noon."

Shen Lan asked casually: "What did you have for lunch? Why did you eat so much?"

Xu Zhe: "Nothing, I just ate too much because I didn't have breakfast..."

The shop owner shook his head and said, "You can't overeat. You can't miss three meals a day. It's not good for your stomach to skip one meal and eat the next."

You run a barbecue restaurant and you still care about healthy eating? Xu Zhe complained in his mind, but he didn't want to stay on this topic for too long, so he said, "Let's not talk about food. What kind of drinks do you have in your restaurant?"

The shop owner pointed to the freezer behind him and said, "Beer is half price!"

Xu Zhe: "..."

Shen Lan: "Forget it."

The shop owner said: "Brother Shen has such a good alcohol tolerance, there is no way you can't drink it."

Shen Lan shook her head: "I can drink, but Xu Zhe can't. He can drink just one glass and then fall down."

The shop owner sneered and said, "Is there anyone in the world who gets drunk after just one glass of wine?"

Xu Zhe: "Yes, I am. If you don't believe me, I can show you a little, but I'll have to trouble you to take me home. Sister Lan is a girl and can't carry me."

Hearing him say this, the shop owner couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, somewhat skeptical.

Shen Lan also added seriously: "Really, I saw it with my own eyes."

The shop owner laughed and said, "Since you saw the handsome boy drunk, how did he get home then?"

But before he finished speaking, he noticed that the two young men's faces froze, as if they had touched on some serious topic. He realized a possibility - could it be that they didn't send her home, but booked a room nearby?

It would be terrible if young men and women did this.

However, if a girl gets drunk, something might happen, but if a boy gets drunk, it seems unlikely. The shop owner thought of this and stopped worrying about it. Brother Shen doesn't worry about it, so why should I meddle in other people's business?

So the shop owner finally brought the topic back to the topic: "Ten skewers of mutton and ten skewers of beef, what else?"

Shen Lan: "Another honey chicken wing, and..."

Xu Zhe lowered his head and silently pondered a long-buried question.

What happened that night after I got drunk with Shen Lan in the hotel room?

I was only stripped of my shoes and coat, and slept on the bed all night. And there were strands of Shen Lan's hair on the bed. Did she also spend the night on that bed? In addition to lying down and sleeping, she didn't do anything else, right?

Xu Zhe couldn't explain how he felt. Was he worried about what was done to him, or was he regretful that he couldn't feel it?

----

Shen Lan didn’t order much, and there was no staple food, only barbecue.

She finished all the skewers by herself without Xu Zhe's help. Xu Zhe was drinking Sprite across the table, chatting with her leisurely.

The content of his chat with Shen Lan was different from that with the other two girls. He could talk about more technology-related things without worrying that the other party would not be able to follow up on the topic he raised.

However, after finishing his meal and paying the bill, when he walked out of the barbecue restaurant, Xu Zhe still said one more thing: "Eating dinner like this is too greasy and irritating."

Shen Lan smiled softly: "You are overeating and you still have the nerve to criticize me?"

Xu Zhe: "This is just the first time. I won't do it again."

He decided to learn from his lesson and in the future, if he had an appointment in the afternoon, he would not have a big meal with other girls at noon, especially a buffet.

Shen Lan pursed her lips and whispered, "If someone helps me cook, I would of course be happy to eat at home."

Xu Zhe's eyes narrowed, realizing that what his sister was thinking was not simple.

While he was hesitating, the girl added, "As a younger brother, it shouldn't be a problem for you to cook a few meals for your sister when you have free time, right?"

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "It's really no problem, but you are responsible for buying groceries and washing dishes."

"It's a bit troublesome..." Shen Lan smiled and blinked, "But since we have a chef, it doesn't matter if other things are a little troublesome. And since you want to cook at my house, there is no need to choose a cafe as the venue for the game. You can work at my house."

Xu Zhe nodded subconsciously, but then thought of another question.

It was summer vacation with no homework, so Song Xingye and Tang Lingfei would probably come to play with me often, right? But I stayed at Shen Lan's house for a long time, so it seemed difficult to tell them the truth.

No, just selectively tell the truth and say that you are busy with work.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhe no longer had any doubts and agreed: "Let's do this from tomorrow."

----

When Mr. Shen, the owner of the billiard hall, came home tonight, he saw his daughter coming out of the bedroom. She was wearing pajamas and was obviously going to bed, but she heard him come back and came out to talk.

Boss Shen was very pleased that his daughter was willing to talk to him, but what she said next made him froze.

Shen Lan said, "I have work to do recently, so don't ask me to take care of the billiard hall. Can you handle it yourself?"

Boss Shen: "That's okay, I've already hired a full-time clerk."

Shen Lan said, "I plan to be at home when I work, and I need to use the computer with my boss. So, can you leave the space at home for me during the day?"

Boss Shen was dumbfounded: "With the boss at our house... No, your boss, isn't that Xu Zhe?"

Shen Lan nodded: "Yes, the mobile game I asked you to play last time was made by him alone. Our new project will be more complicated. We two will work together and need a quiet space without being disturbed. Is that okay?"

This request should obviously be excessive, but his daughter said it so openly that Boss Shen didn't know how to complain. After all, this is his own home. It's okay for a wild boy to come, but how can he drive the head of the family out?

It's okay that the cotton-padded jacket is leaking air, but it can't turn around and prick itself, right?

But the next moment, Shen Lan showed a coquettish smile that she hadn't seen in many years: "Dad, please!"

Boss Shen: “…Okay.”

212. Chapter 211 210 The Girl's Classic Dilemma

212.

2023-10-10

That morning, while Xu Zhe and Shen Lan were busy playing games, Song Xingye was sitting on the edge of the bed, worrying.

She just received a message from a close friend: [Xu Zhe sent me the user guide for his music software. I will think about it today and then go to his house to try it out. Do you want to come with me?]

Seeing this, Song Xingye couldn't help but feel envious. He envied that Yu Feifei's home was so close to his, it only took one minute to get there, how convenient.

What made her even more envious was that Feifei didn't have this problem now...

Song Xingye put down her phone, picked up a small mirror, and looked at her face. On her originally fair and flawless face, there was now a red pimple, right below the corner of her eye, which was quite conspicuous.

"Why do I get acne?"

The girl murmured in distress, and soon remembered the seafood buffet yesterday. Although she had a good family background before, she had never tried eating seafood as the staple food. Yesterday's experience was indeed very good, but after that, she had to face the bitter fruit of the pleasure.

She felt something strange on her face last night. When she woke up this morning, the feeling was even more obvious. She could feel it when she raised her hand, and it hurt a little when she pressed it a little harder. Now when she looked in the mirror again, she felt like she was struck by lightning.

Originally, she wanted to play more with Xu Zhe these days, but now, she couldn't go to him with such obvious acne, right?

Song Xingye picked up her phone again and sent a question to her bestie: [Do you feel uncomfortable after eating seafood? ]

Then, I got a hearty answer from my bestie: [I don’t feel uncomfortable at all, it’s really delicious! ]

Song Xingye held the phone in his hand and finally calmed down.

But after a while, Tang Lingfei sent another message: [Xu Zhe is not at home. I don’t know where he went. His uncle and aunt are not at home either. There is no one at his house.]

Song Xingye: [Just ask him directly.]

This time, it took nearly a minute for Tang Lingfei to send the message: [He is working.]

Song Xingye realized a small problem: [Where do you work? ]

Tang Lingfei: [Hey, I forgot to ask. I’ll ask again.]

Two minutes later...

Tang Lingfei: [He is neither at home nor in the office. He said he is in a coffee shop outside.]

Since we are all working on computers, why not stay at home instead of going out? And speaking of coffee shops, shouldn’t we normally go there only when we are meeting people?

Song Xingye had several different guesses in her mind. But after thinking about it, she shook her head and buried her doubts. She did not urge her bestie to continue asking, nor did she go to Xu Zhe to find an answer.

After all, since Xu Zhe said he was busy with work, it would probably not be a good idea to disturb him, right?

And now there is an even more troubling problem...

Song Xingye picked up the small mirror again, looked at the red pimples on her face, and frowned in distress.

----

The efficiency of working with Shen Lan was even higher than he expected.

The adaptation of the new engine and the basic logic framework of the game were quickly determined. Of course, the high efficiency was not only due to Shen Lan's learning speed, but also more importantly, Xu Zhe's experience.

In the previous life, I read the disassembly and analysis of the masters on the forum, which made the young man today feel like he had divine help. When doing the questions under the premise of knowing the correct answer in advance, naturally, whatever he chose would be correct.

But in Shen Lan's eyes, it was extraordinary...

"You're really amazing!" The girl exclaimed while holding the frame of her glasses. "How do you know this method works when you haven't even tried it?"

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "I guessed."

Shen Lan shook her head vigorously: "It's definitely not a guess! Even if you haven't tried it in advance, you have already thought of the idea, right?"

Xu Zhe: "If you haven't tried an idea before, isn't that just guessing?"

Shen Lan: "It's completely different. The results obtained through logical thinking are different from blind guessing."

However, both of these situations are wrong, Xu Zhe has seen the cheating students who have answered the questions.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. As long as it works, it's fine."

Shen Lan was still not willing to give in and asked, "Can you explain to me what you are thinking?"

Xu Zhe touched the tip of his nose: "This is really hard to explain..."

But such an ambiguous answer made Shen Lan think of something.

"I see. It's a genius epiphany, right?"

The girl looked at him with admiration.

This put Xu Zhe under a lot of pressure. He knew very well that the other person was more talented and intelligent than him, but now he was being stared at by her with such eyes. Who wouldn't tremble?

He could only try to change the subject: "By the way, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Shen Lan was slightly stunned: "Can I order whatever I want?"

"You can't order randomly. You have to see what's in your refrigerator. It's almost time to make dinner. I'll go take a look."

Xu Zhe said this, stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Unfortunately, he didn't have eyes behind him, so he couldn't see how Shen Lan was staring at him at this moment.

That look was even more ardent than the admiration just now.

At this moment, Shen Lan suddenly felt that there was probably no one in the world happier than herself, right? Such an amazing, amazing talent, and a handsome boy, right in her home, working together and cooking for her, and she could order whatever she wanted... What kind of heavenly life was this?

The girl suddenly had an impulse. She rushed over and hugged him from behind, and would never let go until she died.
