Only I can make them stronger

Indeed, the smell coming from it is spices, so there should be no problem.

As for the method of use, he was not unfamiliar with it - it was similar to the grinding bottle on Earth, and he only needed to rotate it to grind the particles in the bottle into powder and sprinkle it on the food.

"What are you doing? It looks like forging!" Leah watched curiously as Xia Ye squeezed out the black powder and applied it evenly on the steak.

"If you want to grill food deliciously, you first need to use seasoning to make the ingredients taste good." Xia Ye answered casually.

Liya nodded, not quite understanding, and watched him operate with expectation...

About an hour later, Xia Ye finished cooking. He took the steak off the fire and handed it to Leah, who had been drooling for a long time.

The latter was not afraid of the heat and took a big bite.

“Wow!” Leah’s eyes suddenly lit up with an extremely bright light. She continued to stuff the steak into her mouth while exclaiming, mumbling:

"Zheya... it's too loud!"

Xia Ye looked at the girl with a smile on his face and opened Leah's file in the system.

really!

Favorability is increasing!

It was 22 just now, and now it has risen to 27.

He offered to cook food, on the one hand so that he could have something to eat, and on the other hand to confirm things about the favorability in the system.

Now it seems that it is indeed as he guessed, things that suit the other person's preferences will increase their favorability.

Although Xia Ye currently doesn’t know what the favorability level is used for, it is definitely that the higher the better.

This way, he at least had some basic direction for getting along with other people in the future.

After turning off the system, Xia Ye picked up a piece of steak, blew on it, and took a bite.

"Fuck! It's really delicious!" Then he was also shocked.

It turns out the long prefix on that bottle of seasoning is not an exaggeration?

This barbecue is much more delicious than any other barbecue he has ever eaten!

Xia Ye, who was originally a little worried, suddenly felt hungry. His hunger reached its peak and he began to eat with big mouthfuls regardless of the heat.

For a moment, the only sounds under the tree were the two people's exclamations and chewing.

……

"Huh... so happy..." Leah lay on the ground in a rather ungraceful manner with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Liya, do you have any water?" Although Xia Ye felt much happier because of the delicious meal, the feeling of thirst became more obvious after eating a lot of barbecue.

"Here you go—" Leah lazily reached into her bag and took out two blue balls, threw one into her mouth, and handed the other to him.

"Is this... water?" Xia Ye took the ball, which was not even as big as a little fingernail, and looked at it over and over for a long time, but could not figure out what this thing had to do with water.

"Just chew it directly... This is a new technology in recent years. Liya doesn't know the principle, but it's very convenient, and much cleaner than the previous water." Liya probably thought that Xia Ye came from some technologically underdeveloped area, so she kindly explained a few more words.

Hearing this, Xia Ye could only follow the other person's example and threw the ball into his mouth and chewed it twice.

Soon, the clear drinking water filled his mouth until it was full.

After drinking all the water, Xia Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

The first time he used this thing, he felt very uncomfortable. He suddenly felt suffocated and almost choked just now.

"Do you want more?" Liya turned her head and looked at Xia Ye's embarrassed appearance and giggled: "I was also scared like you for the first time."

"No need." Xia Ye felt his physical strength gradually recovering after eating and drinking enough, and waved his hand:

"Shall we continue on our way after a short break?"

"Liya is full and wants to take a nap..."

"Nap? Here?" Xia Ye looked around and frowned.

Without a container like yesterday, it would be too unsafe to take a nap in the wilderness at noon, right?

"It's okay...Liya is very alert and will wake up immediately if there is any danger..."

But the girl was obviously very sleepy. She moved slowly over while mumbling vaguely.

Just when Xia Ye was wondering what Leah was going to do, she suddenly hugged Xia Ye's arms without hesitation, and at the same time pressed her smooth thighs on Xia Ye's lower body. Then, she rubbed Xia Ye's chin gently with her head.

The soft and oppressive fullness on both sides of the arms, the girl's body fragrance in the nostrils, and the smooth and stimulating touch of the thighs on the legs suddenly made Xia Ye feel overwhelmed.

"Liya, you are..."

"Liya likes the smell of Xia Ye. Would you like to take a nap with me..." The girl seemed to be half asleep. She spoke vaguely, and her warm breath sprayed on Xia Ye's neck, making him feel itchy.

"What's going on?" Although it was indeed very comfortable to have such a sexy body hugging her, Xia Ye could not and dared not to be restrained any further, which made him anxious and confused.

Suddenly, he thought of something and opened Leah's file in the system.

On it, the column for the current relationship changed from "Liya likes you" to "Liya wants to be close to you";

And the favorability level soared to 46!

Seeing this scene, there was only one word left in Xia Ye's mind -

"what?"

4. Factor sharing function

It was just a meal, is that a big deal?

The physical stimulation quickly interrupted Xia Ye's thoughts——

Leah seemed to be dreaming about something, her thighs were constantly moving back and forth between his lower abdomen and legs.

When Xia Ye came through, she was alone at home wearing only a thin breathable sportswear, so the touch below was particularly clear.

Therefore, every time she scratched it, Leah's fleshy legs would give him a tingling sensation.

At the same time, the visual impact was constantly disturbing the spiritual heart of this virgin.

The bottomless wheat-colored ravine was right in front of him, especially when one of his arms was squeezed into it, the arc of the ravine after being stretched out made it look particularly impactful.

Xia Ye felt like she was about to explode.

Push her away? I can’t bear it! Don’t push her away? I can’t bear it!

His reason and desire began to be pulled wildly, and he was made to groan in pain by Leah's sudden defenseless state.

At this moment, Leah suddenly spoke:

"Xia Ye, do you dislike Liya?"

The sudden words calmed him down quickly.

Although Leah still had her eyes closed, the emotions in her words seemed much clearer than before.

"No...how could that be? I think Leah is very cute." Xia Ye whispered to the girl beside him.

This is the truth.

Putting aside all other factors, to him, Leah is indeed a cute girl that is hard to dislike... although she is a little off.

"But Leah feels like you're resisting... Does it make you uncomfortable to be close to Leah?"

As soon as Liya finished speaking, a message suddenly popped up on the system:

[Liya bond mission appears]

[Mission name: Masterless loyal dog]

[Task content: Answer Leah's doubts and successfully make Leah no longer sad]

[Task Reward: You will be able to influence Leah's thoughts to a certain extent, and the upper limit of favorability will be increased to 110]

Actually triggered the mission?

Xia Ye, who was originally considering whether to say something casually to deal with the situation, suddenly became serious when he saw the news.

It seems that there really is a reason behind the other party's sudden behavior and change in favorability!

"Well... I'm not resisting, it's just that I feel a little at a loss." So, after considering it again and again, he slowly spoke.

"At a loss?" Leah opened her eyes, and her big brown eyes, close to her, were full of curiosity and confusion.

"How should I put it... That is, Leah, do you usually do this with other people? Especially, someone like me who you have only known for less than a day."

Although Xia Ye has never been in a relationship, he has played thousands of galgames and various SLG games.

When communicating with a girl in an abnormal emotional state, the first thing to do is not to express your opinions, but to understand her inner thoughts and take the initiative by retreating.

"Others? I don't think so..." Leah answered as if she realized it belatedly.

"Then why are you suddenly treating me like this? Aren't you worried that I will do something bad to you?" Xia Ye continued to ask in a persuasive manner.

"Because... because I like the smell of Xia Ye!" Leah thought for a while, nodded, and said seriously.

"smell?"

"Luo Qi said that I am a special alien. Unlike ordinary aliens, I will not like any man unless... that man has the smell I like."

"I don't think Luo Qi lied to me, because in such a long time, Xia Ye is the first man who has a smell that I like."

"The smell of other men makes me feel bad, so I always stay away from them."

"What is your favorite taste?" Xia Ye asked curiously.

Apart from the last trace of shower gel smell left after taking a shower yesterday, there seemed to be nothing special on my body.

"It's just... a feeling that makes me feel warm... I can't really put it into words, but now that I think about it, it seems that Xia Ye gave me this feeling from the very beginning when we met. I subconsciously won't reject it, nor will I be overly wary because your ability looks dangerous."

"Besides, Xia Ye can cook!"

"When I was making lunch just now, Xia Ye gave me a feeling that was very similar to Luo Qi, so after we finished eating, I wanted to let go of all my defenses and get close to her."

"But the difference is that Luo Qi is more like my sister, while Xia Ye seems to... make me feel something else, I can't really explain it."

"But I'm different from Luoqi. No matter what I smell like, I'm still a male. Leah... do you understand the difference between the two?" Xia Ye sighed.

In this girl's mind, she probably had never considered, nor did she need to consider, the issue of relationships between men and women.

"...Although I don't really understand it, Luo Qi mentioned to me... that boys will have some special thoughts about my body, right?"

"You can understand it this way, so you can't do intimate acts like this when you've just known each other for less than a day." Xia Ye never thought that one day he would actually say such words to a girl who threw herself at him.

"Well... okay..." Hearing this, Leah lowered her head, looking very disappointed.

The girl's eyes were drooped, and she looked like a puppy that was disliked by its owner.

Xia Ye suddenly felt a little distressed, and quickly changed the subject:

"Liya, have you and Luoqi known each other for a long time?"

Liya nodded slightly and said:

"Yeah, she picked me up and brought me home when I was about ten years old. Before that I was alone."

"At that time, I was almost dying from the disease. It was Luo Qi who saved me. She slowly taught me not to show my teeth to strangers, and also taught me how to protect myself. She also taught me many ways to live in the city..."

"So, I may have subconsciously thought of you as someone similar to Luo Qi, which is why... Anyway! I'm sorry! Xia Ye! I seem to have done something that bothered you!"

Although Xia Ye does not accept others' moral blackmail, she also does not feel that she must respond to others' closeness to her.

But when he saw Leah's appearance at this moment, he still felt a little guilty.

After all, he had just been struggling with his reason because of the stimulation. To some extent, the other party's behavior was not a bother to him.

I just simply have the desire but not the courage to do it...

"How could it be..." So Xia Ye pulled his hand out from the other's chest, touched Liya's head, and comforted her:

"I don't really hate your behavior, but maybe we are not familiar enough with each other yet, and I am a little worried about the wilderness environment."

"In other words, Xia Ye doesn't actually dislike me?" Hearing this, Leah's mood became noticeably happier.

"of course not."

"So Xia Ye doesn't actually hate my intimate behavior?"

Xia Ye thought about it carefully before saying seriously:

"Well, Leah...if we are going to be together for a long time in the future, I certainly won't hate such behavior, but I still have to pay attention to the occasion in many cases."
