The charm of food is endless.

One of the most important desires of human beings is appetite, which is not subject to human will, not to mention that this is in a virtual world - everything in this world is good, except for one thing, which is that you cannot hide your expression, because this game is reproduced by a machine by directly reading human brain waves, so whatever you think in your mind will be truly manifested in this world.

If it were in the real world, Asuna might be able to control herself from showing any expression, but in this virtual world, when she felt the strong stimulation of the food, she immediately showed an intoxicated expression.

How shameful!

Asuna lowered her head in shame while enjoying herself. You know, among this group of people, she usually gave people the impression of being a bit serious and unsmiling. Now she actually showed such an expression, and in front of Fang Zheng, in Asuna's opinion, it was simply... humiliating!

In fact, the reason why Asuna had such a big reaction was not just because of the food. Although the food made by NPCs was delicious, it was not so exaggerated. The main reason was that Asuna had been frugal since she entered the game. She devoted herself to strategy, training and leveling. On weekdays, if she was hungry, she would just eat some dry bread or a few sandwiches. There was a banquet held on the day when Fangzheng Guild was established. Asuna ate some good food, but at that time she was also worried about her future, so the food she ate was tasteless and tasteless.

Now that the first-level lords had been eliminated, they had a good start. Asuna's nerves were no longer tense. In addition, after being dragged around the street by Fang Zheng for a long time, her anger was almost gone. This was the moment when her inner defense was the weakest, and this delicious steak was like a sharp sword, which just pierced Asuna's last defense deep in her heart, making her completely immersed in the charm of food.

Asuna lowered her head, trying desperately to control her expression, but she couldn't do it at all. She wanted to stop eating temporarily, but her hands seemed to have independent consciousness, cutting pieces of steak and putting them into her mouth...

I can't stop at all!!

How embarrassing... Fortunately no one else saw it...

However, just as Asuna was thinking this, a familiar voice suddenly came to her ears.

"Ah, isn't this Brother Fang Zheng and Sister Asuna?"

“…”

Asuna looked up and saw Yuuki not far away waving excitedly at her and the others, while Leafa and Aoba also nodded and greeted them shyly.

"You guys are here too?"

Fang Zheng put down the cutlery in his hand and waved to Youji and the others. Youji immediately came to Fang Zheng at a trot like a puppy being summoned by its master.

"Yes, Brother Fang Zheng, the food here is very good. We just happened to have some money, so we decided to come and have something good. What are you eating? Sister Asuna looks so delicious."

“Woo…”

After hearing what Yuki said, Asuna wanted to find a place to dig a hole and bury herself, but Fang Zheng didn't have any extra thoughts. He just smiled at Yuki in front of him.

"I just ordered a few dishes... do you want to eat with me?"

"Okay, okay, it will taste better if we eat together!"

Youji is innocent and simple-minded. When she heard Fang Zheng's suggestion, she nodded excitedly. If she were compared to a puppy, you could probably see its tail wagging rapidly at this moment.

But for some reason, after hearing this, Asuna felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Although she couldn't describe it in words, Asuna didn't want Yuki and the others to join in. Of course, she didn't have any objection to Yuki and the others, but...

"Ah, no thanks, Mr. Founder."

Compared to the naive Yuuki, Aoba was more attentive to the atmosphere. He ran over and grabbed Yuuki, then bowed to Fangzheng and Asuna awkwardly.

"I'm sorry to bother you two... I'm very sorry..."

As he spoke, Aoba dragged Yuuki away. Yuuki could be heard complaining, "Hey? Why don't we eat together?"

"ah……"

Asuna opened her mouth and wanted to say something after watching Aoba pull Yuki away. She was very conflicted, worried that Aoba left because he thought she was dating Fang Zheng, but she was reluctant to let the three people join in. Asuna didn't know why. When she and Fang Zheng went shopping together before, Asuna was very angry at first, but now she was somewhat familiar with this feeling...

Thinking of this, Asuna's thoughts suddenly changed again.

Should I dress up before going out today? Well... this is a game, there are no cosmetics for sale... but my performance before didn't seem very good, would Mr. Fang Zheng be unhappy? Would he think I was petty?

For some reason, Asuna was not happy with Fang Zheng forcing her out before, but now she was beginning to worry that her previous angry behavior had made Fang Zheng unhappy...

I can only say that girls’ hearts are really complicated.

Fang Zheng didn't care about Asuna's thoughts. He thought about the game settings and how to conduct the experiment. At the same time, he ate the steak in front of him, the dessert, and then drank a glass of juice. He had to admit that this virtual world really looked like it was real. If it weren't for that brain-dead psychopath named Kayaba Akihiko who had gone crazy and locked so many people in the game, this would have been a very enjoyable journey to another world.

But then again, if he hadn't gone crazy, Fang Zheng probably wouldn't have come into this world.

After dinner, Fang Zheng took Asuna back to their base.

Of course, when it comes to a base, Fang Zheng actually just spent some money to rent a hotel. After all, their guild is only level one now, and they need to reach level three before they can apply for and purchase a formal guild base. Before that, Fang Zheng can only buy or rent a house as the guild's base like other guilds.

"Well, I still have something to do. After you finish eating, go back to your room and have a good rest and relax."

Walking to the door, Fang Zheng smiled at Asuna and spoke.

"If you don't know what to do, you can also learn to cook. Delicious food can really make people relax, and I saw that you enjoyed your meal today. Cooking for yourself when you have nothing to do is also a way to relax."

“Woo…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Asuna's face immediately turned red, then she lowered her head and nodded slightly. Fang Zheng hadn't said anything during the meal before, and she thought he hadn't noticed it, but she didn't expect that Fang Zheng had already seen it, but just didn't say anything...

"Then I'll go back first."

After saying this, Fang Zheng pushed open the door and prepared to go back to his room. At this moment, Asuna, for some reason, suddenly raised her head, took a step forward, and shouted.

"Mr. Fang Zheng!"

"Hmm? What's up?"

Hearing Asuna's call, Fangzheng turned around and looked at her. Looking at Fangzheng, Asuna didn't know what to say for a moment. She wanted to say that she would go out with Fangzheng next time, but before she could say anything, Asuna realized - isn't this a date? !

She's never dated a younger man before!

“No, this…”

Asuna's cheeks turned slightly red when she thought of this. She looked around and then bit her lip embarrassedly.

"I just wanted to say...thank you..."

"You're welcome."

After saying this, Fang Zheng smiled and nodded at Asuna, then walked into the room. Looking at the closed door, Asuna was silent for a moment, then sighed.

...Why not... practice my cooking skills when I get back?
