Wang Zheng rubbed his temples; he felt a slight pain in his head.
Why was I so careful in considering whether or not to keep the appointment?
Seeing Wang Zheng's happy face, Bai Meixi immediately sent an invitation: "Wang Zheng, do you want to play together? This game is really fun!"
Wang Zheng replied instinctively, "But your dad said dinner is almost ready!"
Bai Meixi, however, seemed completely unconcerned.
"Ignore them, they're going to be all lovey-dovey for a while. Come play with me!"
Wang Zheng walked to the sofa and sat down, asking with a serious expression, "To be honest, why did you invite me? I was nervous for a long time before, and seeing these scenes has really impacted me."
"Didn't I tell you? I feel like you have a familiar scent, and I want to be friends with you."
You are my first friend. Isn't it normal for friends to invite each other to their homes?
After I told my parents about this idea, they both agreed, saying they also wanted to see what kind of person my first friend would be.
So I'm inviting you.
Wang Zheng was still somewhat hesitant: "What is that familiar taste? Also, why did you ask me before if I remembered anything after it materialized?"
Bai Meixi bluntly stated: "A familiar smell is a good smell. As for asking if you remembered anything, it's because my mother said that after she successfully materialized the object of her visualization practice, she remembered a certain technique, but none of them are suitable for us to practice."
"And since I can't practice visualization techniques and can't materialize them, and you're the only one in the whole school who has successfully materialized them, naturally I can only ask you."
Wang Zheng: ? ? ?
His mind raced.
If what Bai Meixi said is true, he really wants to scan Nan Fengyi right now, but he doesn't dare!
No! That's not the point!
Wang Zheng continued, "Then why did you say I wasn't human when we first met on the playground?"
"ah!?"
Bai Meixi scratched her head, looking somewhat confused.
"Is that so? I don't remember. I wouldn't be that rude, would I?"
Looking at Bai Meixi's innocent appearance, Wang Zheng was now confused. Could it be that he had really seen it wrong back then?
He took the controller blankly, no longer paying attention to the game. Instantly, the characters in the game were routed, which made Bai Meixi laugh out loud.
At this moment, Nan Fengyi and her husband also came in. Seeing Wang Zheng and Bai Meixi playing happily in the living room, they didn't disturb them.
Soon, a sumptuous meal was laid out on the table.
Master Bai called out gently, "Little Bai, come and eat. Remember to wash your hands."
She urged him several times until Nan Fengyi put on a stern face, at which point she reluctantly put down the controller and told Wang Zheng to finish his meal and continue playing with her.
Once everyone was seated at the table, Wang Zheng looked at the table full of exotic animal ingredients and was somewhat surprised.
It seems that there are no such taboos among demon kings; they still eat as they please.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense; even in the wild, strange beasts devour each other.
Seeing Nan Fengyi sitting in the main seat while Bai Shi sat to the side as an accompaniment, Wang Zheng could now see that Nan Fengyi was the true head of the household.
Once everyone was seated, Nan Fengyi, as the matriarch, spoke: "Today is the first time our daughter has brought her classmates home for dinner, and it's also Wang Zheng's first time being a guest. Let me propose a toast first, and please make yourselves at home!"
'As expected of a soldier who retreated from Beijiang, he's a true tiger!'
Wang Zheng inwardly marveled at the boss's imposing presence and silently took a sip of juice.
Then Nan Fengyi poured Wang Zheng a glass of baijiu and handed it to him directly: "Try this. It's fruit wine that Bai Bai brewed himself in the mountains. The alcohol content is not high. It's a good stuff."
Bai Bai, my goodness, you call the Demon King Bai Bai?
Master Bai seemed used to the title and didn't mind, just kept putting dishes on the table.
Wang Zheng thought to himself, but on his face he looked flattered and took the drink with both hands, being very polite and proper.
Fruit wine doesn't have the spiciness of regular baijiu. After drinking it, your stomach feels warm and comfortable, and you have a refreshing fruity aroma.
Taking a sip in this kind of weather is truly more refreshing than eating ginseng fruit.
Just as Wang Zheng was savoring the moment, he suddenly discovered that the upper limit of spiritual energy in his data panel had actually increased by five points. He immediately forgot about savoring it and finished the rest of the fruit wine in one go. Then he stared longingly at the inconspicuous small pottery jar in Nan Fengyi's hand.
Nan Fengyi laughed at Wang Zheng's greedy look and filled his glass again: "This is the last one. Although the alcohol concentration is not high, you can't drink too much, or your body won't be able to handle it."
Wang Zheng was no longer as casual as before. He carefully took the item, afraid of spilling a single drop, which made Bai Shi and Nan Fengyi smile.
After that, Wang Zheng didn't hold back and started eating heartily. He figured he might as well eat whatever he could get his hands on, since things had already come to this point.
It seems he was overthinking things. This family didn't have any designs on him. Earning more spiritual energy now is good. He was even thinking about whether he should find an excuse to come and freeload a few more times in the future.
