Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Daily

When Jiang Qin woke up the next day, she was a little surprised to see the kitten outside her door.

“Huh? Mimi, how did you find your way here?”

Yun Xie, who was in the room to her left, opened his door at that moment and said languidly, “Is that your Beast Pet? It showed up last night.”

“Yeah. You’re amazing, Mimi.”

’Not only is it fast, it can also track.’

The praised kitten jumped elegantly into her arms and meowed, a complete transformation from the cat that had bared its fangs and hissed the night before.

Yun Xie clicked his tongue.

“I bought some ingredients last night. What would you like? I’ll go make it for you.”

The cat shot him an indifferent glance as well.

’Is this gentle tone really coming from that aggressive male from last night???’

Jiang Qin didn’t notice any of this. All her attention was on Yun Xie’s offer to cook for her.

“You can cook?”

“Hah, what’s so hard about it?” Yun Xie said dismissively.

“Then make whatever you’d like. I’m not picky.”

“Alright.”

Out of curiosity, Jiang Qin followed him to the kitchen.

She could cook too, actually. It was just that years of hardship had long since accustomed her to just getting by in life.

Real food was definitely tastier than nutrient liquid, but for her, just being able to fill her stomach was enough.

She wasn’t picky at all.

So even though her life had improved recently, she still had no inclination to cook for herself.

But she had never expected that Yun Xie could.

After all, he looked like a violent brute; she could have never imagined he had such a meticulous side to him.

…

Inside the kitchen, Yun Xie was dressed in a simple, gray casual suit with a pure black apron tied around him, nonchalantly chopping vegetables.

Though he appeared to be chopping casually, Jiang Qin noticed that the slices of mutated carrot looked as if they had been copied and pasted.

’Carrots?’

Jiang Qin was even more surprised. ’Is it because my Beastman Gene is a white rabbit?’

’Even here in the Interstellar age, rabbits have mutated, yet most of them still like carrots.’

She had loved eating carrots back on Earth, too.

There was no other reason for it, other than it being a staple dish at the orphanage and highly nutritious.

Now, in the Interstellar age, she still preferred the carrot-flavored nutrient liquid.

’This must be the influence of my Genes.’

So, even though Yun Xie looked cold and unapproachable, he was actually very thoughtful.

If she remembered correctly, he must have bought all this late last night on the spur of the moment.

While she was lost in thought, Yun Xie had already finished shredding the carrots.

Noodles were boiling in a pot.

He stir-fried the shredded carrots, then mixed them with a meat sauce made from the minced meat of some unknown Alien Beast.

Then, once the noodles were cooked, he drained them and poured the sauce on top.

A bowl of noodles with carrot and meat sauce was ready.

The entire process was very practiced; it was clear he had some cooking experience.

Yun Xie brought the noodles to the dining table, pulled out a chair for her, and laid out a napkin.

“Try it. If you don’t like it, I’ll take you out to eat.”

“Thank you. It smells delicious.”

Hearing this, the corners of Yun Xie’s lips lifted noticeably.

“Do you know how to use chopsticks? Or… how about I feed you?”

As he spoke, he actually sat down next to her, picked up some noodles with a pair of what were clearly white jade chopsticks, and moved to feed her.

Jiang Qin said, “…Is it possible I’m eighteen years old, not one year and eight months?”

“Even if you were 81, I’d still feed you.”

“Thank you, but that won’t be necessary.” Jiang Qin, speechless, took the chopsticks from him.

Then she picked up some noodles and took a bite.

It tasted just as good as she had imagined—even a little better, she felt, than the food at the restaurant they’d gone to the other day.

The main reason was that the restaurant’s dishes were all rather bland.

But the meat sauce Yun Xie had made was rich and savory.

This would be nothing special on Earth, but in the Interstellar age, these ingredients weren’t easy to prepare.

“It’s delicious. Did you buy the seasonings for this meat sauce?”

Yun Xie propped himself up on the table with one hand, quietly watching Jiang Qin eat.

At her question, he replied, “No, I made them last night. It’s a secret recipe passed down through my father’s family.”

Jiang Qin paused. “Doesn’t that mean you barely slept last night?”

“I don’t need to sleep.”

’Of course, it wasn’t like I could sleep anyway.’

After letting the cat in last night, he had started making the sauce.

You couldn’t buy soybean paste this fragrant in the current Interstellar age.

Jiang Qin’s thoughts also turned to his Riot Value.

With a pensive expression, she gradually finished the entire bowl of noodles.

Yun Xie took it upon himself to clear the bowl and chopsticks and wash them, saying, “Go play with the cat.”

There was only one bowl, and since he was already washing it, she had no choice but to go to the living room.

She took the Beast Pet Nutrition Liquid she had stored in her Space Button and poured some out for the kitten.

When Yun Xie came out, they sat on the sofa, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

’Ahem, or maybe I’m the only one who feels awkward.’

Because Yun Xie was lounging on the sofa, his eyes constantly on her, his gaze never wavering for a second.

’So he probably isn’t the one feeling awkward.’

“Ahem… How about I sing a song for you?”

After all, she had promised last night.

Yun Xie gave a slight nod, then took a pink thermos from his Space Button and handed it to her.

“Drink some warm water to soothe your throat before you sing.”

“Tha—”

“No need for thanks.

You don’t have to be so polite with me.

This is all what I should be doing. You can order me around as much as you like.

If you’re in a bad mood, you can even hit me to let off some steam. It’s fine. You can treat me as harshly as you want.”

The corner of Jiang Qin’s mouth twitched. “If I’m in a bad mood, why would I hit you?”

’Besides, what does he mean “what he should be doing”? Our relationship hasn’t reached that point, has it?’

Yun Xie said, as if it were a matter of fact, “When females are unhappy, don’t they like to hit their partners to vent their anger?

I’m not like those weaklings who can’t take a beating. As long as you’re happy, I’m more than willing to be your punching bag.”

“…” ’The perverts in this Interstellar age are something I’ll never get used to.’

“I don’t like violence.”

“What a coincidence. We think alike. I don’t like violence either.”

The cat thought, ’Right, right. You’re not violent. You just threaten to kill a cat at the slightest provocation.’

“With your Level, there’s no need to lower yourself like this.”

Yun Xie chuckled softly. His eyes were locked on her as he said in earnest, “No one is worthy but you.”

Jiang Qin looked away, unable to continue meeting his gaze.

His gaze was too scorching.

She had never been in love before, and Shi Lichuan wasn’t the type to be overly aggressive, so this was the first time she had ever encountered a man like this.

She had to admit, she was a little flustered.

The composure on her face was all an act.

She hastily took out a piano, set it up in the living room, and asked, “Is there any song you’d like to hear?”

Yun Xie knew to quit while he was ahead and followed her lead in changing the subject.

“Could you sing ’Love Canvas’?”

’That was the song she was singing in the video where I fell in love with her at first sight.’

’Last night, I even played that video on a loop until dawn.’

’This must be what they call a ’successful fan moment’ on the Star Network, right?’

“Of course.”

Jiang Qin sat down at the piano and gently began to play the introduction.
