I already said this is not a life simulator!

Xi Wang immediately looked at the other people around him and found that they all had expressions on their faces that were both bitter and expected.

"Does this... count?"

"It's calculated."

"So... there will be no more activities after that? Just everyone eating noodles together? Or is this some kind of "Fire Moth" tradition?"

"Oh, then it doesn't count...ah...no, no, it counts."

Hearing Xi Wang's somewhat confused and amusing question, the others who were slurping noodles with a relaxed look on their faces responded to him while holding back their laughter, then came up to Kevin, nudged him with their shoulders, and said jokingly.

"Captain Kevin, can you say something?"

"........."

Kevin silently looked at Hen beside him with an expression as if asking for help... Obviously he also realized that he was not suitable to host this kind of event. After all, this kind of thing was usually hosted by Alicia... But he also wanted to help Xiwang and make Xiwang a little happier... In the end, it turned into such a funny and embarrassing scene.

"Don't look at me. This is what you have to prepare for. You have to take responsibility."

However, Hen just shrugged his shoulders and lightly rejected Kevin's request for help, looking like he was ready to watch the show.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with this, slurp..."

A girl with chestnut hair and blue-green eyes spoke incoherently while wolfing down her noodles.

"There's food, and it tastes pretty good. It's much better than what we had before, slurp..."

"Pado, don't be so anxious... No one here will compete with you for it..."

Aponya reminded gently from the side, her voice sounding gentle.

"Ah, sorry, Sister Nia, I'm just a little used to it... Any more? Another bowl!"

"Little Padu is quite a eater. Not bad, not bad. The little fellow is a good eater. Grow taller and gain more meat... Come on, I'll get you some more."

"Growing taller is fine, but growing fat is not... If you're fat, you won't be able to run fast, and you won't be able to squeeze into a lot of places."

Paduafilis muttered a little embarrassedly, took the noodles served by others, and then lowered her head and started eating.

Then, a slightly dull voice, as if suppressing anger, sounded quietly, scaring Padufils so much that her body froze and her hair almost flew up.

"I'll eat you to death, kitten."

"Brother Jie..."

"What? Are you scared?"

"No, no... no, there is... ah?"

"……snort."

Qianjie snorted coldly and looked away.

Padufils, who was originally as nervous as a cat with its fur standing on end, also shrank her neck. She first looked at Xiwang who was surrounded by Eden and Ying, and felt that it would be too conspicuous if she moved closer, so she quietly moved her body and hid behind Abonnia to seek her protection... Then she continued to hide behind her and slurp noodles, much faster than before, as if she wanted to eat her fill and slip away as soon as possible.

It's strange to say, after meeting Xiwang, every time Padufils wanted to avoid Qianjie, her first reaction was to look for a space behind Xiwang for her to hide, instead of looking for Aponiya first...

Obviously, no matter how she looked at it, she should be closer to Aponia, who was walking out of Dusk Street with her, but Padovali always felt that Xiwang was reliable and willing to protect her... This was an inexplicable intuition, and Padovali was willing to trust her intuition.

Of course, Padua Ferris herself is very discerning. If she sees Eden and Ying next to Xiwang, she won't force her way over... well, generally not.

Everyone looked as if they were used to this scene, and some even laughed a few times, finding it funny that Padufils was so afraid of Qianjie.

Although most people are more or less afraid of Qianjie because of his fighting style and overly manic personality, and will choose to stay away from him, but after learning about Qianjie's battle record, many people want to get to know him.

In addition, with Xiwang and Aponia acting as bridges in the middle, although most people are still afraid of Qianjie, there are also many people who can talk to him, and can also discover the extremely awkward concern under his violent temper and rude words, so most people are still friendly to Qianjie... There are relatively few people who are as afraid of Qianjie as Padofilis.

As for why Padofelice was so afraid of Qianjie... well... during a battle, Padofelice accidentally went too deep in search of survivors, and stepped into Qianjie's battlefield... Fortunately, Qianjie didn't kill her and stopped in time, otherwise Padofelice would have been killed by Qianjie.

Since then, Padufils has been particularly afraid of Qianjie. She would hide from him when she saw him, or at worst go to hide with Aponia or Xiwang... There was no other way, because these two were the only people in the entire "Fire Moth" who could persuade Qianjie?

However, Qianjie himself did not seem to be aware of this, and he really did not care much about this "little cat" Padufils, and sometimes he would even deliberately avoid her... In Qianjie's words, "That little cat is so timid that I will be scared to death if I get any closer, haha... It's really hilarious."

But now, Qianjie's attention is not on this matter.

"Hey, Kevin, you called me here just for such a trivial matter? To eat noodles? Do you have a lot of free time?"

After glancing around, Qianjie turned his gaze to Kevin again. His slightly angry eyes penetrated the mask and made Kevin feel uncomfortable.

"……Feel sorry."

"Huh? Are you saying your (expletive) apology?"

I don’t know how Kevin’s words annoyed Qianjie. Qianjie used some unpleasant words in his words... Oh no, this is normal for Qianjie. There’s nothing to worry about.

"I'm asking you, do you guys eat noodles the way he (expletive) does?"

"But the noodles are delicious... I am still somewhat confident about this..."

"Ah↗?"

Qianjie interrupted Kevin's explanation with a strange and high-pitched voice of doubt, and then he took a step sideways, and while Xiwang was confused and the others were bewildered, he grabbed the noodles that Xiwang had not yet taken two bites of, and showed the noodles in the bowl to Kevin in a way that seemed a bit rude, but surprisingly did not spill even a drop of soup.

"Say it again?"

"……Any questions?"

Kevin looked at the noodles in the bowl with a confused look on his face, looked at the clear soup, smelled the unique fragrance of the soup, then looked at Qianjie with a bewildered look on his face and asked puzzledly.

"........."

This time it was Qianjie's turn to be silent. He glanced around and found that everyone else looked confused. He covered the mask on his face in annoyance and let out a low moan of somewhat collapse.

Then Qianjie walked into the kitchen with Xiwang's bowl of noodles, and drove away all the chefs who were still working inside with an extremely angry roar. Then there were bursts of sounds of kitchen utensils colliding, followed by a fleeting dazzling flame... Not long after, an enticing aroma came out from the kitchen.

"So Qianjie...can cook?"

Everyone looked at Aponya blankly, hoping to get answers from the "former leader" of Qianjie.

"Qianjie did often come to the kitchen to help in the past, and the dishes he cooked were very popular with the children."

Aponia nodded slightly, responding to everyone's doubts.

"…Ah? Is this true? Am I dreaming?"

"What (expletive) are you talking about in his (expletive)?"

While others were still confused, Qianjie had already come back with the bowl in his hand. The tempting aroma became stronger as he got closer, making people salivate uncontrollably.

"Give."

Qianjie put the bowl back in front of Xiwang, pointing to the soup noodles that had become much more delicious... I don't know if it was an illusion, but everyone felt that the soup inside seemed to be glowing with golden light...

And Qianjie did not leave after doing all this. He just stood in front of Xiwang, staring at Xiwang with a scrutinizing gaze from under the mask, and spoke.

"If it doesn't taste good, I'll put the bowl of noodles on your head."

“…Shouldn’t it be the other way around?”

"Humph, do you dare?"

Qianjie sneered, and then said.

"And if you dare to waste food, I will put this bowl of noodles on your head."

"That's really too much... But thank you anyway, Qianjie."

Xiwang smiled, but didn't pay attention to Qianjie's words. He just picked up the chopsticks and tasted it lightly.

Immediately, Xi Wang stopped and looked at Qianjie with surprise.

"It's delicious... Qianjie, can you teach me?"

"Why, do you want to switch to studying cooking?"

"It's always good to have many skills~"

Xi Wang shrugged, reached out to take a small bowl and was about to scoop out some noodle soup to share with Yiden, Ying and the others, but Qianjie held his hand down.

"What do you want to do?"

A questioning tone came from under Qianjie's mask, and the look he gave Xiwang also became a little strange, with a hint of... blame?

"Can you give someone a small bowl? Delicious food like this is meant to be shared~"

"What's the point of sharing? Just eat yours."

"Can……"

"Why do you have so many things to do? I told you to eat alone, so eat alone!"

Qianjie snatched the bowl of noodles in front of Xiwang with some annoyance, and then put it heavily back in front of him. Then he reached out and snatched the bowls of noodles from Yiden and Ying, and returned to the kitchen. After a while, there was another sound of kitchen utensils colliding.

"........."

This is really awkward, Qianjie...

The others watched this subtle and amusing scene silently, and found Qianjie's somewhat "tsundere" appearance amusing. Even the fear that everyone had towards Qianjie dissipated a lot.

When Qianjie came out of the kitchen again, many people came forward bravely, wanting to taste Qianjie's cooking... Although Qianjie would always curse in a very angry manner, he did not refuse these requests, but just stayed in the kitchen and cooked noodles again and again...

So in the end, Qianjie simply started a big pot, and the others stood beside him like elementary school students, eagerly waiting for their own share.

"........."

Kevin took the bowl of noodles from Qianjie, tasted a little, and fell silent... Then he quickly finished his own portion in a "violent inhalation" manner, without leaving any soup. Then he walked in front of Qianjie, and under the subtle gazes of everyone, he clasped his hands together, lowered his head to Qianjie, and pleaded.

"Qianjie, I want to learn how to cook noodles."

"Is your (expletive) brain broken?"

Chapter 5477 Love Falls Like Rain ()

"Mr. Gunn..."

After leaving the "Fire Moth" and returning to the company, Xi Wang looked at his agent, then looked at the vehicle on the side that was filled with all kinds of things, and was speechless for a moment.

"Although I'm planning to go out and plan on my own this time, but aren't these things... a bit too much?"

"Any questions? It's better to be fully prepared than to find out halfway that you didn't have enough supplies, right?"

Gunn said this with a smile.

"I can replenish them when I pass through other towns along the way, right? And I always feel that I can't use all of them by myself. Even if Sakura and I are together, we probably can't use them all... Then I have to bring them back? Um... No, no, why not just give them away, find a church or an orphanage to give them away..."

"Okay, okay, you're the one who thinks too much... But since you've already thought about this, haven't you thought about other things?"

"Well?"

"Haha...sometimes I don't know if you're pretending to be like this, or if you're really that cute...never mind, you might be unhappy if I say this..."

"No? How can I not be happy when you praise me?"

Xi Wang tilted his head, somewhat confused.

"Pfft...Okay, okay...I was complimenting you...Never mind, I won't tease you anymore. Pretending to be the Riddler or something like that isn't really my style."

Gun shook his head helplessly, took out the terminal, checked Xiwang's itinerary, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed the terminal to him.

“I discussed it with the people [over there] and adjusted your schedule a little bit… I hope you don’t mind.”

“[Over there]? Oh… I see.”

Xi Wang was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Gunn was talking about the "Fire Moth" and began to check his itinerary carefully, but soon he had a new question.

"Is this the itinerary?"

Xiwang always felt that something was wrong. He always felt that the places he was going to go in the book were all the ones he liked, and there were also many arrangements for entertainment... Most importantly, there was no such sentence as "Please accept the call-up arrangements when necessary" that "Fire Moth" had always left in the book.

There was even... a "notice" left in it, saying that "Fire Moth" temporarily transferred Sakura away and needed her to undergo a physical examination. She might be needed for a certain research of Mebius and Mei. At the same time, Velvet also made a new set of equipment and needed Sakura to try it.

In other words, this time the "Bard" project might become the same as before, carried out by Xi Wang alone... right?

"That's it, Xiwang."

A slightly amused voice sounded from the side.

"Eden~"

"Hehe... Sorry, I'm late."

"……Well?"
