Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

As soon as he finished speaking, Mei Raiden's face suddenly bloomed with a smile as bright as a sea of flowers in spring.

That emotion was probably surprise, or perhaps the joy of a hope fulfilled. Perhaps when Boya met Ziqi and the song "High Mountains and Flowing Water" was completed, he also had this smile.

But the other two, even Bronya, were a little confused after hearing it.

It's just a piece of beef, but how could there be so many twists and turns? Although there are indeed different levels of praise, this seems to have gone beyond the scope of "praise".

However, compared to Wang Xuanqiao's tasting, Bronya actually noticed something more interesting.

That is, the three people besides her seem to be a little unclear.

Should I say it was wonderful? Bronya suddenly found herself unexpectedly unsure of the answer to this question.

Why is this happening? She had to think about it.

"Actually, we used a few tricks when preparing the beef," Mei Raiden said softly, speaking of the stew. "Frozen beef inevitably loses its aroma, but as long as we soak it in running water to remove impurities during thawing, and then use a little bit of energy to activate the meat, we can restore the quality of fresh meat."

Wang Xuanqiao understood immediately.

"It seems that [Multitasking] has started to help you." He said with a smile.

"You're right. In the past, I really wouldn't be able to control my power to this extent." Raiden Mei nodded slightly.

"You're able to quickly utilize the resources at your disposal, and that's where your strength lies," Wang Xuanqiao said. "So I think the evaluation of your superb cooking skills is very fitting for you."

"Although I think the manager is a bit over-the-top." Raiden Mei smiled, "But thank you."

“I am very happy to receive such high praise from the store manager.”

The beef was fragrant, but Kiana felt it tasted like wax. She couldn't focus on the food anymore. The conversation between the two people before her was like they were simultaneously reaching out and pinching her thoughts, pulling them apart.

Kiana didn't even know which side or person to focus on!

Paying attention to Mei may be right, but it seems that it is not my place to pay attention to her now; paying attention to the store manager is even more difficult to explain, after all, there is no hidden meaning in his words, they are all genuine and sincere.

Then, Kiana's face began to turn red visibly.

"Huh? Idiot Kiana, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Bronya decided to transfer her unclear problem to another person.

After all, being happy alone is not as good as being happy with others.

It would be best if you could help others to have more fun.

"Ah, ah? W-what? What's going on?" Kiana was like a socially anxious person suddenly under the spotlight, instantly becoming flustered. She quickly reached for the casserole with her chopsticks, but the two long-used sticks refused to obey.

Clamp, clamp! Why can’t I clamp it?

Mei Raiden immediately realized something, quickly put away her smile, coughed lightly twice, reached out and picked up the chopsticks to help Kiana pick up a piece of beef.

"Well. Since the manager told you to eat more..."

Halfway through her words, Mei Raiden realized something was wrong again and quickly covered her mouth.

Kiana looked at the beef in the bowl, feeling a strange dilemma: whether to eat it or not. She looked up at Mei Raiden, then suddenly turned to look at Wang Xuanqiao, realizing he was staring at her.

Humph! I'm eating! Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat!

Kiana picked up the beef directly with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.

Alas...why does this beef have no flavor?

She suddenly missed the taste of the braised pork from earlier. The perfectly cut pork belly, coated in a luscious, appetizing caramelized sauce, had a salty, sweet, and rich flavor, and a melt-in-your-mouth texture...

Could it be that in my heart, this pot of beef is not as good as that bowl of braised pork?

——The author has something to say——

As I said, if I say there will be more updates, then I will!

Once again, I would like to thank my book friend [Naiyazi(≧▽≦)] for sending me five servings of salted fish thorns, the market value of which exceeds 25, reaching the level of golden pork trotter rice!

Also, after taking a look at the plot, I feel like I need to make one thing clear upfront. This book doesn't have any party disputes, stomach medicine, or anything like that. We don't do that kind of nonsense in our cool novels. The main point is that if a girl likes you, then respond to her.

Ah Qiao himself said - if you want to be the sun, then shine on everyone, and no 1V1!

Volume 100: : I will become a bird, closer to the sun than those who walk on the earth

For the first time, Kiana felt that eating was such a difficult thing.

Atmosphere is such a strange thing, it is generated through human social activities, cohesive into a collective, and in turn affects individuals. Although it can only affect people's emotions, people's emotions can affect their bodies.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was tense. Kiana, Mei Raiden, and even Bronya were all affected in varying ways. Wang Xuanqiao wasn't affected, but everyone else was uneasy, and he felt he couldn't say anything.

This is the atmosphere, and sometimes even Wang Xuanqiao has to go with it.

Fortunately, this atmosphere was maintained on a subtle edge. At first glance, it looked a bit like an adult teacher accidentally sitting at the same table with teenage students for a meal. Although everyone was chatting and laughing with each other, they had to concentrate highly to control their words and actions.

Teachers cannot bring up topics that are sensitive to students, such as grades; and students cannot be as comfortable as they are with their peers because of the barriers caused by their identities.

Even if the atmosphere looks good on the surface, it is actually a laborious face-saving project that makes both parties feel exhausted.

Today's dining table is such a "face project".

However, Wang Xuanqiao did have a solution. He could just eat faster and be done with it. Since the atmosphere at the dinner table was tiring, he should finish the meal as quickly as possible.

In this way, he rescued everyone from the delicate atmosphere.

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention and ate a little too much." Wang Xuanqiao emptied his bowl, stood up and started to clean up the containers of food on the table.

"Let me help you." Kiana quickly reached out her hand, but was stopped by Wang Xuanqiao.

"I'll do it. You're the customers after all, so I can't ask you to clean up." He said, "You guys go and have a rest, or go downstairs and help me see if there are any other customers in the store."

Bronya gathered her dishes and gently pushed them over to Wang Xuanqiao. Kiana was silent for a moment, then followed suit, gathering her dishes and bringing them to Wang Xuanqiao.

The two of them left first, but Raiden Mei didn't.

"You guys go downstairs first, I haven't cleaned the kitchen yet." She used this excuse to send Kiana and Bronya away, then walked into the kitchen alone.

By the time Wang Xuanqiao crossed the kitchen door carrying a pile of dishes, Raiden Mei had already filled a pool with foamy water. She herself, with detergent in one hand and a wet rag in the other, was meticulously wiping the stove.

She polished the silver-white stove until it was almost shiny.

"This is almost as good as polishing." Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but say, "You cleaned it so well, I feel embarrassed to cook."

Mei Raiden raised the corner of her mouth and laughed softly.

"It's the chef's responsibility to clean the kitchen," she said with a smile, "but if the manager is too embarrassed to cook, he can just message me and let me do it."

"Then I've gotten a great deal." Wang Xuanqiao carried the dishes into the pool filled with foamy water. After they slowly sank into the deep part of the pool, he picked up the dishwashing cloth and began to fight the grease.

"We are the ones who have received countless gifts from the store manager. But..."

Mei Raiden changed the subject.

"If the manager wanted to pay me for my kitchen work, what would he be willing to pay?"

Her hand suddenly stopped, and she turned her face slightly, revealing purple eyes full of amusement.

Wang Xuanqiao turned his head to look at her, then laughed.

"That depends on what you want." He kept washing the dishes with both hands, his eyes focused only on the work in his hands.

The girl suddenly walked up to Wang Xuanqiao's side.

"I've said before, I won't let go of anyone I've set my sights on easily."

She just came close to him and whispered in his ear.

Wang Xuanqiao stopped what he was doing.

He turned his head again and stared at the girl who was so close to him. Although she was wearing an apron and holding cleaning tools such as detergent and rags, she still couldn't hide her unique fragrance.

The flowers bathed in morning dew are showing their delicate and beautiful appearance to those who admire them.

“I also said that the reason why the sun is the sun is because it illuminates everyone who longs for light.”

Wang Xuanqiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but it didn't look like a smile.

“That’s why the sun hangs high in the sky. Because only there can anyone who hopes for light see it.”

After he finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze and continued to wash the dishes in his hands.

But Mei Lei Dian put down the object in her hand and suddenly reached out to hug Wang Xuanqiao's waist from behind.

"It doesn't matter." She leaned against his back and whispered, "For those who have fallen into darkness, light is enough. She may imagine that the sun is special to her, but she won't dream that the sun shines only for her."

"After all, no matter who we are, aren't we all just asking for warmth from the sun?"

The reason why the sun is the sun is because it is willing to illuminate everyone who longs for light.

But the sun does not require those who receive its light to do anything, it is just that way.

Mei Raiden gradually hugged the person in her arms tighter.

She longed for the sun's light. But she couldn't actually provide the sun with the nutrients it needed to keep burning.

I am just a taker. If I expect to monopolize everything, that would be unacceptable greed.

When the two bodies were so close, Wang Xuanqiao suddenly felt as if he could sense the mood of another person.

What a complex emotion it is! Satisfaction, yet dissatisfaction; gratitude, yet jealousy; overflowing with deep love, yet also followed by a thick sorrow...

He turned his head slightly and cast his gaze towards the kitchen door imperceptibly.

After a long time, Mei Raiden slowly let go of her hands.

"I'm sorry, Manager." She took a step back and laughed softly.

"Let the sun continue to shine on the people of the world," she said softly, "but I will become a bird, closer to the sun than those who walk on the earth."

Wang Xuanqiao saw a tuft of white hair swiftly passing by outside the kitchen door frame...

------

After cleaning up the kitchen and the dishes, Wang Xuanqiao and Lei Dian Mei went downstairs one after another and returned to the lobby of the game hall.

Sakura seemed to be still fighting in the world of Sekiro. Bronya was not in a hurry to go back to buy accessories. Instead, she and Kiana were studying the newly purchased mobile terminal in the rest area.

Seeing Mei Raiden and Wang Xuanqiao appear together, Kiana showed a hint of unnatural expression, but it quickly disappeared.

She stood up and waved to the two of them with a smile.

"Manager, Mei!" Kiana called out, "Come on, come on, Bronya and I are looking for a game suitable for four people to play."

A game suitable for four people? Honestly, the Silent Hill game given by the system is playable with four people, so that taxi can easily fit seven or eight people, Wang Xuanqiao thought.

However, there really aren't any relatively relaxed multiplayer games in arcades. If you must say, Assassin's Creed 3 barely qualifies, as, as long as you don't disrupt synchronization, you can freely roam the American continent before the independence of the United States.

But when it comes to relaxing multiplayer games, the best place to go is Los Santos, where you can enjoy freedom every day!

How about exchanging one? Wang Xuanqiao stroked his chin and opened the system mall to calculate the income and expenditure of points.

At this moment, the sensor door suddenly opened.

Another group of people rushed into the game room.

The people who came were another group of familiar faces, the Thirteen Heroes, but not Su, Mobius, Grayshu, Kosmo, Qianjie and Velvet.

"Hi~? Did Xuanqiao miss me?" Alicia was the first to walk in, and she happened to see three girls surrounding Wang Xuanqiao. She immediately...

Eyes lit up!

"Wow! Isn't this Kiana, Mei, and Bronya? So you're here! I've always wanted to invite you to my tea party!"

Alicia walked and danced lightly in front of the four people with a brisk pace.

"Xuan Qiao, why didn't you tell me? I do get a little emotional." Her pretended angry look only lasted for a moment, just like ice and snow melting in the warm sun, revealing a brilliant smile.

"Just kidding. How's it going? Are you feeling nervous all of a sudden?"

Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Before he could say anything, Mei Raiden and Kiana both started to sound alarm bells in their heads at the same time.

——The author has something to say——

Alicia!!! (breaking voice)

Ahem, the Sanbengzi anniversary celebration has begun, so...

The card drawing crashed! ! ! ! (burst into tears)
