An incredibly tantalizing aroma drifted up Ganyu’s nose and rushed straight to her mind.
The pupils in her beautiful eyes suddenly contracted.
Her small mouth parted slightly as saliva unconsciously began to pool.
In her sea of consciousness, it was as if a valve had been opened, letting the thought of “eating” surge forth like a flood!!
Her defenses were broken.
Broken completely…
This aroma was simply too much!
It had completely hooked the soul of our little Cocogoat.
Ganyu had always forced herself to suppress her cravings, but now that they erupted, they were impossible to stop!!
A thousand years of restraint finally shattered at this moment!
Like a dazed little lamb, Ganyu unconsciously moved toward the source of the scent.
A trace of drool already hung from the corner of her mouth.
***
With Lin Xiao’s final toss of the wok!
Sizzle~
With a flick of the large iron wok, the dish was plated.
Hey!
Distinct grains of golden, scallion oil fried rice were served piping hot and fragrant!!
If the oil used wasn’t of high quality, or if the supplementary ingredients were even slightly substandard, the rice would not turn out this perfectly golden.
Complemented by the garnish of green scallions, its presentation was absolutely flawless.
A simple dish of scallion oil fried rice hid many subtle details—this was often the true charm of cooking.
The simplest-looking things were the hardest to master!
Lin Xiao nodded in utter satisfaction, absolutely captivated by the aroma of the scallion fried rice he had just made.
This ” Hua Xia Culinary God System” was truly incredible; just a casual stir-fry had produced the absolute pinnacle of scallion oil fried rice.
He picked up a spoon and took a bite.
Hiss…
It was as if neurons in his brain were rapidly reconnecting.
The scallion aroma pierced through his sinuses.
Both the chewiness of the rice and the fragrance of the oil were just right.
Not a bit too much, not a bit too little!
Lin Xiao put down the spoon.
He closed his eyes and savored it carefully for a moment.
” Not bad.
There’s truly not a single flaw to be found.
”
But when he opened his eyes again, he was startled…
He saw…
White clothes with blue silk, and legs wrapped in black tights.
Blue hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and a pair of horns grew from her head.
On her adorable, dazed face, a crystal-clear string of drool hung from the corner of her mouth.
She pressed her red lips together and swallowed, her smooth, jade-like neck bobbing slightly.
This secretary of the Yuehai Pavilion, Ganyu.
Her beautiful eyes could no longer tear themselves away from this plate of fragrant scallion oil fried rice.
She leaned pitifully against the side of the stove.
That endearing, pitiful gaze was simply invincible…
She hadn’t noticed in the slightest that her proud assets had already brushed against the cooking oil on the stove.
” Uh, this…
”
” Are you…
hungry?
”
Lin Xiao had never imagined that his first customer would actually be this half-illuminated beast.
It was said that Ganyu had to work hard to control her figure because she was extremely prone to gaining weight.
As a result, she ate very light meals every time, and this had been the case for hundreds or even thousands of years.
After all, the fact that a chubby Ganyu once nearly choked a demon god to death was no joke…
” Wu…
”
Wuuu~~~~~
However, Ganyu currently seemed to have lost the ability to speak, and her small mouth could barely close.
Her gluttonous little expression was beyond compare.
But this bowl of scallion oil fried rice probably had pretty high calories—could she really eat it?
Such adorable contrast made Lin Xiao want to laugh.
As the aroma of the scallion oil fried rice entered her nose, it continuously stimulated her nerves.
If the boss hadn’t been standing right there, she probably would have picked up the plate and started wolfing it down long ago.
” I…
I want to eat.
”
Ganyu swallowed hard and blinked her large eyes as she looked at Lin Xiao.
” Eat up.
Just remember to pay the bill when you’re done.
”
Unexpectedly,
The moment Lin Xiao’s voice fell, Ganyu didn’t want to delay for even a second.
She immediately picked up the plate and sat on a nearby stool.
She didn’t care in the slightest that the spoon had been used by Lin Xiao, scooping up a large spoonful and placing it directly into her mouth.
The very moment it entered her mouth…
Ganyu froze on the spot…
The collision between her tongue and the fragrant oil seemed to elevate her thoughts.
Her delicate body trembled slightly…
The scallion aroma greedily plundered Ganyu’s sense of taste.
The oil fragrance, the scallion aroma, paired with the perfectly textured, bouncy rice.
Sometimes, happiness was just this simple.
Never…
She had never eaten such delicious rice in her life!!
Having suppressed her cravings for a thousand years, a crystal-clear tear suddenly rolled down her cheek.
Lin Xiao: ????
” It shouldn’t be that serious!!
It really shouldn’t!!
”
” It’s just scallion oil fried rice, there’s no need to cry over it.
”
Ganyu slowly moved her mouth, chewing the rice and swallowing it down.
She even kept her lips pressed against the spoon, reluctant to take it out.
Biting the spoon, she mumbled vaguely:
” It’s delicious…
”
” I don’t know…
why I’m crying, but it’s really, really delicious.
”
Just imagine not having eaten such delicious food for a thousand years.
Ganyu looked absolutely adorable right now…
As the next spoonful entered her mouth.
” Mmm~~”
Ganyu let out a soft moan.
She ate the scallion oil fried rice as if it were a grand feast, as though every bite was incredibly precious.
Even Lin Xiao couldn’t help but gulp when he saw the way Ganyu was eating.
If anyone else saw her like this, it would be more effective than any advertising slogan.
No!!
Just watching her was making him hungry.
Lin Xiao no longer had the time to appreciate the beauty eating in front of him.
He immediately added more firewood and began cooking a second wok of scallion oil fried rice.
Sizzle~~
Late at night, flames roared on the streets of Chihu Rock.
The second plate was done!!
Lin Xiao sat opposite Ganyu, eating the fragrant scallion oil fried rice with her.
But…
This girl Ganyu was simply eating from the bowl while eyeing the wok.
He had only taken two or three bites, but not a single grain of rice was left on Ganyu’s plate.
She completely disregarded her image, licking the plate and spoon clean.
Then she actually looked pitifully toward Lin Xiao again…
Toward Lin Xiao’s plate…
It was unknown what kind of courage was driving her.
She actually took the spoon she had just licked clean and reached directly into his plate.
Under Lin Xiao’s shocked gaze, she scooped up a spoonful and put it into her mouth.
When she finally realized what she had done, her little face flushed red as she hurriedly apologized to Lin Xiao.
” I’m sorry…
”
” I lost my composure…
”
” I don’t know why, but I just couldn’t control myself.
I couldn’t stop…
I wanted to keep eating.
”
Just what kind of switch had he activated in this girl?
Even as she apologized, her eyes were still fixed on Lin Xiao’s plate.
He tentatively pushed his plate forward a little.
Ganyu’s beautiful eyes lit up.
” Is…
is it really okay!!!
”
” If you don’t mind…
of course it is, but this plate will also cost you!!
”
Before Lin Xiao could even finish his sentence.
Ganyu started wolfing it down again, as if terrified that Lin Xiao might change his mind.
” Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, that’s my spoon!!
”
The Cocogoat seemed entirely deaf to his words.
She licked even the spoon completely clean, eating with immense relish.
Uh, this…
Lin Xiao truly hadn’t expected that the normally dazed and adorable Cocogoat would actually have a side like this.
