Chapter 422: Chapter 237: Endless Power, Yunjing’s Envoy_2
Why does a single man need such a big place? If there’s someone in the picture someday, then there’s no harm in changing houses.
Lin Xun waited for Little White to order, but the girl took a long time to order only two bowls of meat wontons.
He shook his head in disbelief. As an Apostle in the Armed Team, how can she have enough energy to fight against rival organizations with just this little food?
He took out his mobile phone and added potstickers, fish cakes, shepherd’s purse rice, and a bunch of other dishes. He completed the order in one breath.
"Little White, do you usually eat this little?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Caiyi felt a little embarrassed. Of course, her appetite wasn’t just this small.
The physical upgrade brought by the Netherworld game increased the Apostles’ consumption as well.
With a faster metabolism, naturally, her appetite would increase.
From Little White’s hesitant expression, Lin Xun knew she still felt somewhat reserved.
Just joking. How could he invite Lu Caiyi for a meal and let her go hungry?
"Little White, let’s make a bet. Whoever loses must do a favor for the winner. What do you think?"
"Bet... on what?"
"Of course it’s on who can eat more. Don’t say I’m bullying you... like this, for every bowl you eat, I’ll eat two. Is that fair?"
Looking at the man in front of her, trying to get her to eat more, Lu Caiyi sighed subtly, inwardly musing: No wonder he’s still single. Who does a food-eating contest with a girl?
Remembering her previous decision to ’eat Lin Xun out of house and home’, she somehow found herself nodding in agreement.
Lin Xun smirked slightly, confident of his victory.
Thus, their duel commenced swiftly...
The wontons had thin skins and were generously filled with meat. The side dishes, such as shredded egg, dried shrimp, shredded meat, pickles, and purple seaweed, were also plentiful.
Each delicate white wonton was beautifully made, not sticking to each other and floating in the delicious soup like tiny blooming flowers.
Before eating wontons, one must always take a sip of the soup. At the moment of tasting, the umami flavor bursts, leaving a mouthful of salty and savory flavors from the minced meat and dried shrimp.
After taking a sip of the soup, it’s time for the wontons.
The wonton’s wrapping is thin as a cicada’s wing, and through it, you can clearly see the pale pink fresh meat. Take a bite, and the smooth and tender skin, along with the savory juices of the meat filling, melts in your mouth.
Of course, that was how regular customers ate.
Under the astonished gazes of the other customers, the man and woman in the corner were quickly stacking up the empty bowls of wontons at their table.
The man could scoop up several wontons with one spoon and polish off a bowl in no time.
The girl ate in a much more elegant manner, yet strangely, her rate of annihilating the wontons was no slower than the man’s.
They kept adding orders and dishes, and the stack of empty bowls began reaching the teens.
To an unknowing observer, it would almost seem like an eating broadcast of a major eater.
The young men who were originally thinking of adding her on WeChat retreated one after another, losing interest.
After a long while, Lin Xun, clutching his bloated stomach, stared blankly at the wontons in his bowl without moving his chopsticks again.
Not for any other reason, but simply because he was too full to eat any more.
However, the girl next to him still continued to eat the wontons at a relaxed pace.
"Stop stop stop... Little White, I concede, don’t stuff yourself sick."
Lin Xun couldn’t comprehend how this gentle and frail girl could eat more than he could.
Apostles indeed could eat a bit more than ordinary people, but they’re not cows. How could she eat in such a gluttonous manner?
Lu Caiyi finished off the soup with her small spoon and elegantly dabbed at her mouth with a napkin.
Hearing Lin Xun’s words, she blushed slightly.
The girl turned to the man, a look of bewilderment on his face, leaned in close to his ear and whispered with a hint of helplessness, "Actually, my soul’s special strength is ’Endless Power’, so..."
So her consumption was even bigger than that of the average Apostle, was it?
Lin Xun felt somewhat helpless.
If he had known, why would he have challenged Lu Caiyi to anything? Wasn’t this just asking to be humiliated?
"You made a bet, and you’ve lost. Tell me, Little White, what do you want?"
"...Uh, I haven’t quite figured out what to ask for."
Lu Caiyi furrowed her brows, appearing deep in thought.
She glanced at her phone and suddenly blurted out, "Oh no, I’m going to be late for work!"
Lin Xun watched as the girl hurried off, constantly apologizing to him. She quickly said her goodbyes and ran out of the wonton shop.
Looking at the date on his phone, he saw it was Thursday.
"I didn’t know the Armed Team’s attendance was so strict... it seems the Intelligence Team is more comfortable."
On second thought, it’s been a long time since he’d gone to punch in at the office. It was somewhat unfair to his female boss’s salary since he often played hooky.
Lin Xun left the wonton shop, hopped on his bike, and headed towards the office.
His phone buzzed suddenly, a new message had arrived.
Little White: I’ve decided on my request. Come out for a drink tonight. Don’t forget, you still owe me from the last time you ditched me.
Lin Xun grimaced, "Dude, I have a big battle with the female server tonight. I’m on a special task as a librarian."
It wasn’t that he was addicted to the game, but he was genuinely stretched thin and couldn’t make time for a drink.
He composed a text message in reply: Can we reschedule? Tonight is indeed not very convenient. I’ll owe you two meals next time!
Little White didn’t reply for a long while. Lin Xun wondered if he had upset her.
He was almost at the office when he received another message from Lu Caiyi: I am late... Owning you two meals won’t solve the problem (crying emoji)
Lin Xun did not know that Little White had never been late or absent since she started her post.
Lin Xun: So what do you suggest we do? (Shiba Inu’s emoticon)
Little White: Hmm... Let’s talk about it this weekend. If I really can’t figure anything out by then, I’ll come and find you.
Lin Xun: ????
Little White: The team leader is here, I have to start working properly. We can chat when I’m free.
