Liu Ben and his friend ordered a lot of things, and the boss and his wife were very happy. However, it would take quite a while, so it would be nice for the two of them to chat.
"The person you just mentioned having dinner with today, weren't you going to a dinner party? Why are you alone?" You Ying asked, rubbing his hands. The weather was very cold today. At night, the temperature had dropped to 2 or 3 degrees Celsius. It was fine because You Ying had turned on the air conditioner when he drove here, but now he had been out for a while and his hands were already cold.
Seeing You Ying rubbing his hands, Liu Ben stretched out his big hands and wrapped them for You Ying.
Liu Ben: "Hi, that was also the case today... Did you read the messages in the group? That person..."
Liu Ben held You Ying's hand and recounted his experience of the day, but You Ying was a little distracted.
It was winter and Liu Ben was not wearing gloves, but his hands were very warm. He felt very warm wrapping his own cold hands.
Liu Ben: "Finally, Song Wei and I found a private room to have a meal together, and then I asked you out."
"Yeah," You Ying said after coming to his senses, "There's no need to contact those students anymore, but the teacher can go visit them."
Liu Ben: "That's right."
You Ying looked at his hands, which were now warmed by Liu Ben. He asked Liu Ben, "Why are your hands so hot?"
"Really? I'm normal. It's your hands that are too cold. You should exercise more." Liu Ben said.
Good health is only a small reason. Liu Ben's hands are hot mainly because his body is hot. He has a hot body because he is a half-bull orc, and his body temperature is higher than that of humans.
Liu Ben's plan: "Every morning I get up at 6 o'clock, wash up until 6:20, then go out for a 5-kilometer morning run, come back for breakfast, and in the morning we can plant trees. It's almost the New Year, so in the afternoon I can go clean the ancestral home with my family. Finally, I run 5 kilometers at night and come back for dinner."
You Ying: "...or you could just kill me."
Liu Ben looked at You Ying's defiant expression and said disapprovingly, "Exercise is good for you. It will make you stronger, just like me!"
You Ying: "I can go to my own gym and exercise on the treadmill."
Liu Ben: "That should be a treadmill. You always walk on it."
The two chatted as the dishes they ordered were brought to the table one by one. When it was time to eat, You Ying reluctantly withdrew his hand, as Liu Ben's hand was still warm.
The first dish is the sizzling grilled fish, which is the signature dish of this food stall. A big fish is spread on the iron plate with golden skin and sprinkled with onion rings and green and red peppers. Small droplets of oil are still coming out of the hot fish meat, and the white steam adds a little warmth to this cold winter.
"Try it," Liu Bengang picked up a piece with his chopsticks and immediately picked up a piece for You Ying: "Delicious!"
You Ying had never eaten grilled fish before. He put the fish into his mouth. The grilled fish with a crispy outside was not as oily and salty as he had imagined. Instead, it was tender and juicy, spicy with a hint of sweetness. The crispy fish skin on the outside was thin, and there was a crispy sound when he bit it. His teeth buried in the white fish meat, making his mouth warm.
"Not bad." You Ying quite liked the taste of the grilled fish.
The lively crab that the boss was cleaning just now is now lying on the table. It still looks the same, but it is red and looks very peaceful.
The most important thing about seafood like clams, razor clams, and crabs is their freshness. If the ingredients aren't fresh, no matter how you cook them, they won't taste good. This Maoge food stall clearly prioritizes this, using fresh ingredients. The flavor is excellent, and the texture is fantastic—soft where it should be soft, firm where it should be firm. The clams are chewy, the clams are large and satisfying, and the crabs, when you open their lids, are overflowing with roe and meat...
It was the first time for You Ying to try these ways of eating, and it was quite fresh. Although he was a little resistant at the beginning, he now really enjoyed these delicacies. Beside You Ying, Liu Ben, who had a big appetite, ate without even raising his head.
"Really? Although their dishes are not as high-end as those in Xingyue Tower, they also have their own unique flavor and are indeed delicious." Liu Ben said as he licked the sauce on his lips.
"Be more reserved." You Ying took out a tissue with a dark face and handed it to Liu Ben.
"Wipe it off for me, it's delicious." Liu Ben was peeling shrimps now, his hands were covered in oil and some pepper and salt.
You Ying wiped his mouth for him. He had never had his mouth wiped by anyone since he grew up. However, when You Guoguo was still young, You Ying had wiped his mouth a few times with disdain.
This food stall did not disappoint Liu Ben, and Liu Dong also recommended a good place this time.
"Try this." You Ying picked up a piece of rice cake with chopsticks and gave it to Liu Ben.
"This is delicious too." Liu Ben would say "delicious".
Rice cake and squid tentacles fried together are a great combination. The squid tentacles are chewy, the rice cake is soft and glutinous, the squid tentacles are salty and fragrant, and the rice cake is light and sweet. Mixed with the thick sauce, it tastes very satisfying.
When they had almost finished their meal, the "people who are not easy to deal with" that the boss mentioned finally showed up.
"Boss, bring a pint of beer first!" the leading man shouted.
"Two grilled fish, and thirty pounds of spicy crayfish!" The person behind him said with a smile, "Don't miss our scales!"
After that, they sat down at another table in the restaurant, not far from Liu Ben and the others. There were eight of them in total, and they didn't even sit properly, slouching around and even stepping on the chairs next to them. Ignoring the no-smoking sign in the restaurant, they casually pulled a pack of cigarettes from their pockets, gave each of them a cigarette, and began to smoke.
Liu Ben took a look and realized, well, weren't these the same people who had come to his shop to ask for money? The man in the lead was the one with the tattooed arms, but now he was wearing thick clothes, hiding his tattoos. He had beaten these people up back then, and they must have learned a lesson, but it seemed they hadn't changed at all.
"No, we never shortchange people on weights and measures. Ladies and gentlemen, can you please settle that previous bill first?" The boss came over and asked with an apologetic smile.
"What debt? Will we owe you a debt?!" The leading man slammed the table, scaring the proprietress so much that she trembled and the pot in her hand fell to the ground with a loud "bang".
The boss couldn't hold back his smile: "Stop joking, everyone. You all came here to eat a few days ago. You ate a lot, but every time you said you would pay the bill next time you come. This..."
"Bang, bang, bang!" The eight people slammed the table so hard that it shook.
"There's something wrong with the food in your house. Did you know that I have a stomachache?" One of them said as he took out a piece of paper from his pocket to prove that he had been to the hospital.
"Yes! You dare to charge money for this!"
"The things in our store are absolutely clean, there's nothing dirty!" the boss said angrily, "If you don't believe me, call the police and have them investigate me!"
"Don't use the police to pressure us. Either there are bugs in your food, or it's too spicy. Yes, it's too spicy. It's so spicy that it makes me feel uncomfortable. I might have a stomachache!"
"You guys..." The boss took a few steps forward angrily.
"What? You still want to beat us up?" The leading man laughed impudently, "That's even better! If I get hurt, you'll have to pay me tens of thousands of dollars in compensation, or you can forget about opening this shop!"
"Yeah, yeah, we'll tell everyone tomorrow that this is a shady shop and the food inside is dirty!"
The boss's wife came over with fear and worry, and pulled the boss: "Don't be impulsive..."
"Boss, check out."
At this tense moment, Liu Ben spoke.
The proprietress hurried over and said, "Okay, let me see... 856 yuan each, just 850."
Liu Ben scanned the QR code and paid. He had eaten a lot today, mostly seafood, and the price was not bad.
"Got it, thank you!" Although there was a table of people who were not easy to deal with, the boss still gave Liu Ben and the others a forced smile.
"Yeah." Liu Ben asked You Ying to go out. As You Ying just stood up, Liu Ben stopped again, turned around and walked back.
"I want to pack some food to take home. I almost forgot. You Ying, can you wait for me?" Liu Ben looked at You Ying.
"No rush." You Ying sat back down.
Liu Ben picked up the menu and ordered: "5 jin of crayfish, 2 jin of snails, and one grilled eggplant..."
"Bang!" The tattooed man slammed the table and pointed at Liu Ben. "Are you fucking blind? Can't you see I haven't ordered yet?"
Liu Ben glanced at him nonchalantly and said only one sentence: "If you can't afford it, don't eat it."
This sentence instantly added fuel to the fire.
"Who the hell can't afford it? Are you looking for death?" Everyone at that table stood up with a bang.
"Whoever eats and dine free will be blamed." You Ying also said something to support Liu Ben.
"I think you deserve a beating!" Several people were rubbing their hands, looking like they were about to beat Liu Ben and You Ying.
"Hey, stop making trouble!" the boss hurriedly stopped them.
"Get out of here! Boy, I'm going to teach you how to behave today!" The man with tattoos looked at Liu Ben viciously.
Liu Ben walked a few steps out of the store. The people at that table thought he was scared and wanted to run away, and they all looked at him with mocking expressions.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ben simply walked out of the store and into the alley. He then turned back to look at the people in the store, expressionlessly raised his index finger, and provocatively hooked it at the man with tattoos: "You, come here!"
As the boss, the man with tattoos would certainly not back down when provoked, but he was not a gentleman either. He would rather fight a strong man like Liu Ben in a group than alone.
The man with tattoos waved his hand in a domineering manner and said, "Come on, everyone!" Then he took the lead and rushed towards Liu Ben.
"Stop messing around and don't fight!" The proprietress was now very anxious. A group of people were beating up one person. The customer in front was too dangerous!
Boss: "Be careful, customer..."
Liu Ben looked at the man with tattoos who was rushing towards him with his fist raised with disdain. He was not panicked at all. When the man with tattoos was about to get close to him, he swung his fist!
The man with tattoos was hit so hard that his face was dented and he flew to the left.
Boss: “People…”
"Boss!" Most of the younger brothers following behind suddenly braked and hesitated as if they had seen a ghost, not daring to move forward.
Only another subordinate of the man with tattoos, who looked very reckless, rushed towards Liu Ben with a stool in his hand.
Liu Ben simply looked down on these idiots who had no killing power at all. Before the man rushed to him, he took a step forward, grabbed the man's clothes on his chest and threw him up.
Everyone else in the store looked at the trajectory of the reckless man's flight and looked up—
The man flew nearly 5 meters high and then began to fall.
Everyone continued to look at him, lowering their heads—
Before the man even hit the ground, Liu Ben hit him with his knee, and he vomited with a "wow" sound. However, he hadn't eaten anything, so all he vomited was water.
Liu Ben snatched the bench from the man's hand before he even landed on the ground. This bench belonged to the man's shop and could not be broken.
The man rolled to the ground, holding his stomach and wailing.
After beating up the two men, Liu Ben looked at the other people in the store. They swallowed their saliva, and suddenly one of the skinny guys shouted, "Run!" Everyone subconsciously ran away.
But Liu Ben would not let them run away. He took a step forward, first tripped the person on the left, and then slapped the person on the right, knocking him over.
Everyone's escape plan was forced to be interrupted, and they could only choose to "fight to the death" with Liu Ben.
However, Liu Ben did not use much force when he hit them, probably because he had just drunk four bottles of fruit wine. Although the alcohol content was very low, Liu Ben was still excited. He deliberately held back a little, making the troublemakers think that they still had the strength to continue resisting, and then continued to be knocked down by Liu Ben.
The battle was brutal, one-sided.
The proprietress anxiously said to You Ying who was watching the fun: "Customer, please try to stop him from fighting!" What will happen if the fight continues?
You Ying: "Stop, stop it, don't hit me anymore, don't hit me anymore, you won't kill me like this."
Lady Boss: ...
You Ying had only watched from across the courtyard and through the window as Liu Ben beat up Gou Qi's family. This was his first time seeing Liu Ben fight up close. He'd never seen a proper fight before, so he found it quite novel. However, You Ying could see that Liu Ben wasn't using much strength; he was just teasing them.
After hearing what the boss lady said, You Yingcai remembered that the boss and the others still had to do business and couldn't delay too long.
When Liu Ben heard You Ying's words, he broke into a cold sweat and stopped playing. Instead, he increased his strength and dealt with everyone directly.
Liu Ben walked towards the man with tattoos, easily picked up the big man with one hand, walked in front of the boss, and then threw the man with tattoos to the ground.
"Pay back what you owe."
"Well, I'll give it back, I'll give it back!" The man with tattoos was so scared that he almost lost control of his bladder when he was dragged up by Liu Ben. He quickly reached into his pocket, but his cell phone got caught on his clothes. He was so anxious that he almost tore his clothes, fearing that if he was a little slower, he would be beaten by Liu Ben again.
The boss happily and worriedly reported the meal money owed by the tattooed man during this period, and the tattooed man paid him immediately.
"Thank you, thank you!" The proprietress kept bowing to Liu Ben. "We are also scared."
You Ying was puzzled: "Why didn't you call the police when he ate and dodged a meal?"
"If we call the police, he will come and make trouble, saying that the food is dirty, there is something wrong with the food, or it is too spicy, and ask us to get a free meal. But how can this spicy crayfish not be spicy?" said the proprietress with a frown.
The boss said: "And I recommended the garlic crayfish to them, but they didn't want it. They said they only like the taste of spicy crayfish and don't want the garlic crayfish."
Liu Ben: "Isn't this just looking for trouble? Just call the police."
"That may not work," the boss sighed, and said, "We had a customer before who ordered a dish that was supposed to be spicy and asked us if it didn't want it spicy. We said it had to be spicy, or we could use less, and they agreed, so I reduced the amount for them..."
"They ate everything up, but then said the food in our restaurant was too spicy and gave them stomachaches, so they asked for a free meal!" said the proprietress angrily.
You Ying: "Did you call the police?"
"We found it, and it turned out that the meal was free for us," said the boss.
"This is really..." Liu Ben didn't understand the reason and could only sigh that doing business was difficult.
Oh, You Ying makes money relatively easily, but he has to farm in the space every day. Fortunately, farming is something he likes.
You Ying thought for a moment and said, "If you call the police this time, they should be arrested. Doesn't your store have surveillance cameras?"
"Yes, just within the store."
"Next time they come, you can take the surveillance footage to the police. The police have issued a document saying they're cracking down on gangs and evil. People like this," You Ying nodded at the man with tattoos, "are typical examples. The police will deal with them seriously."
"Really?" The proprietress was a little hesitant.
"Yes, you can check the local public security website. This announcement has been published for some time."
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you. If you need any takeout, I can make it for you for free!" The boss was very happy. From now on, he can do business well.
Liu Ben looked down at the man with tattooed arms. When the man with tattooed arms was caught in his gaze, his whole body trembled and he gave him a humble and flattering smile, without any trace of his initial arrogance.
Liu Ben: "Boss, I'm going to give you a call. If they're not afraid of the police and come to cause trouble again, tell me."
Liu Ben then looked at the tattooed man and said word by word, "As long as he's still in this city, no, even if he runs to the ends of the earth, I can find him."
"I won't, I won't! I won't dare to come again!" The man with tattoos repeatedly assured.
Liu Ben looked at the other troublemakers. They were all lying on the ground wailing, but when Liu Ben looked over, they quickly expressed their stance, saying that they would not do bad things again. Some even swore that they would never appear in front of them again.
However, Liu Ben still added the store owner on WeChat, not only to be on the safe side, but also to order food.
"I use this account to order food. You can tell me what you want to eat in advance and I will prepare it first. You can eat it when it arrives."
"Then Brother Mao, please make all the midnight snacks I ordered." The boss's WeChat name was Brother Mao, so Liu Ben called him that.
"Hey, don't call me Brother Mao. Brother Liu, just call me Xiao Mao." Brother Mao quickly asked his wife to prepare the ingredients.
"...You should stop calling me brother. I'm only 24."
"Hehe," Brother Mao said with a silly smile as he fiddled with the spatula, "Isn't that because you're so awesome? If I had your dominance, I wouldn't have to be afraid of them. It's a pity I gained all that fat for nothing."
Seeing that Liu Ben ignored them, the troublemakers tentatively moved away. After moving for a while and seeing that Liu Ben still ignored them, they quickly got up and ran away. After experiencing this lesson today, they may never think of coming to this street again in their lives.
"You see, exercise is good for your health," Liu Ben looked at You Ying, "If you were good at fighting, you could have fought alongside me just now."
You Ying: "...That's not necessary."
Liu Ben: "Then we will become close comrades."
You Ying: "I don't think you need comrades. You're manipulating them like mud."
To be honest, Liu Ben just said that he was fighting with several people, but it was more like a one-sided beating of those people. Although Liu Ben is 1.8 meters tall, he seemed to become a giant when fighting, full of oppression, and all the people who wanted to fight with him became dwarfs and had no chance of winning.
Liu Ben sighed, "How lonely it is to be invincible."
"But you have to be careful. Fighting is illegal. If you are sued, you will be arrested." You Ying warned.
Liu Ben: "What if I really get caught?"
"Even if you're arrested, there's no need to worry," You Ying said. "I have a team of lawyers and plenty of money. I can bail you out."
Liu Ben: "Hum! Just because you have money, you can do whatever you want?"
You Ying: "Sorry, if you have money you can do whatever you want."
Liu Ben: "Hahahahahaha..."
You Ying also laughed, and after a while, he stopped laughing and shook his head and said, "Even if you have money, you can't do whatever you want, so you still have to be careful."
Liu Ben: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
Liu Ben thought, if it really doesn't work, just let the system clear the traces. Apart from anything else, when it comes to cooperating with him to do things, Big Cat has never made a mistake.
And I should also gain some scum-beating points by beating up the thugs this time.
[Yes, let me take a look. I earned 400 scumbag points by helping the food stall couple. I also slapped that Fu Hao in the face today, which also earned me 200 scumbag points.]
"Did I slap Fu Hao in the face?" Liu Ben wondered. "I just left his box. Does that count as a slap in the face?"
[Alright, this system will mercifully tell the idiot host, meow]
Then the system repeated what Boss Xue said when Liu Ben left the box today, and then focused on describing the expressions of Fu Hao and his lackeys.
Liu Ben suddenly realized that this was the case. It was also a coincidence that Boss Xue happened to want to find him for something and found that box. Fu Hao was not a big shot like You Ying who would be treated seriously by Boss Xue, so he was slapped in the face.
Liu Ben took out his cell phone and checked the new messages on WeChat.
First, there was the news about Song Wei. Although Song Wei was not in the box at the time and was not present when the "Boss Xue was looking for someone" incident occurred, he was obviously informed of the incident later, so he sent him a long message on WeChat, exaggerating and adding fuel to the fire what could have been explained in just a few sentences. Liu Ben read it quickly and felt that he was very suitable for writing novels.
Then came the news from Teacher Tian, but she only asked if Liu Ben had arrived home yet, saying that it was late in the village and there were few people on the road, so he should go back early.
Liu Ben first replied to Teacher Tian's message, and then he took a look at the messages in the group. The situation changed drastically. Fu Hao and those who admired him had gone silent. Anyway, Liu Ben flipped through a few pages but didn't see any messages from them. Instead, Song Wei was chatting with other classmates.
Song Wei: "Me? Liu Ben and I went to another private room to eat. Honestly, the food here is really delicious, but it's too expensive."
Lu Jiayang: "Are you paying?"
Song Wei: "No, that's not the case. Liu Ben treated me to a meal. I went back after I finished eating [laughing]"
Liu Ben thought about it and thought, with such a dramatic thing and such a good opportunity to show off, it would be a waste not to show off. He is not the male protagonist who likes to play the pig and eat the tiger in the upgrade flow. He must show off when it is time to show off.
Liu Ben: "No, I didn't pay the bill either [laughing]"
Song Wei: "Ah? Then who paid the bill? [Dumbfounded]"
Lu Jiayang: “?”
Liu Ben: "Boss Xue gave me a free meal. We've known each other for so long, yet he's still so polite to me."
Song Wei: "Wow! Why is Boss Xue so nice to you?"
Liu Ben: "This is the power of connections! Understand the applause!"
Song Wei: [Applause] [Applause]
After Liu Ben finished showing off, he flipped through the book again and reviewed his words several times before putting down his phone with satisfaction.
You Ying looked at Liu Ben's not-so-secretly-satisfied expression and asked suspiciously, "Who are you chatting with?" Did he meet a pretty girl today? Why was he smiling so obscenely? Although Liu Ben's obscenity was also handsome.
"My classmate, let me show you, I didn't know there was such a drama today." Liu Ben was very happy to share today's events with You Ying, and immediately opened the WeChat to show You Ying.
You Ying flipped through Song Wei's long essay, then read Liu Ben's group message and chuckled, "It seems none of your classmates are very smart."
"The businessmen I know in my daily circle will never express their true thoughts. They always have a smile on their faces, as if they are very kind to you, and they say only nice things. But behind your back, well..." You Ying shook his head.
Liu Ben was curious: "Wouldn't it be troublesome for you guys?"
"Yes, that's why I don't like to argue with them," You Ying said. "I just don't communicate with them. I use my own methods to occupy my territory. In business, whoever is more capable is the boss. There's no need to play tricks with them."
"Awesome!" Liu Ben gave a thumbs-up: "You're still awesome!"
"No, the intrigues in the market are quite interesting." After reading the group chat, You Ying logged out and saw a prompt to apply to add a new friend, so he clicked it.
The first thing that appeared was an application for an account with a beautiful woman as the avatar. You Ying narrowed his eyes when he saw it.
Hello, Liu Ben. I'm Hu Qian. Can you add me as your friend? We haven't seen each other in ages. Speaking of which, I pursued you back in high school. Do you still remember? Seeing you again today, I realized that, after all these years, I still can't get over you. Could you please approve my request so we can have a good chat?
"Look at this." You Ying pushed the phone to Liu Ben.
"What?" Liu Ben lowered his head and took a quick glance, revealing a look of disgust.
You Ying noticed Liu Ben's expression and asked, "Do you want to add her?"
"What's there to add? She's such a person, tsk tsk." Liu Ben curled his lips.
You Ying: "Huh? Isn't she pretty?" You Ying thought the person's profile picture was pretty.
"You think she looks good?" Liu Ben looked at You Ying and said warily, "Don't be tempted. I don't know if the profile picture is of her. Even if it is, it's highly photoshopped. She's really ugly!"
"What are you talking about?" You Ying said with a smile, "I'm a 24k pure gay, how could I be seduced by a woman?"
"That's good," Liu Ben breathed a sigh of relief, reaching out to decline, and continued, "Besides, this guy kept echoing Fu Hao's words in the box, saying that it was normal for capable men to have multiple women, and he was being sarcastic to me."
"Then this person is really not very good." You Ying continued to scroll down to apply for notifications: "The others basically added you because of the things in the box."
"Yeah, then don't add it." Liu Ben nodded and was about to click to exit the message, but another request popped up immediately.
Liu Ben and You Ying took a look and were surprised to find that it was Hu Qian's again.
[Maybe you don't have a good impression of me today, but you have to believe me, I have no choice. Alas, ordinary people like us can only rely on those rich people, and I have my own difficulties. Please add me, okay?]
"This guy won't stop," Liu Ben swiped at the screen. "Where can I block him?"
"Let me do it," You Ying took Liu Ben's phone and helped him block Hu Qian.
"Okay, sir." The proprietress brought the fully packed meals to the table.
"How much?" Liu Ben asked, picking up his phone.
"No need, we'll waive it for you." The proprietress waved her hand.
"No," Liu Ben refused. "I just taught a lesson to a bunch of people who were eating and dashing. I can't do the same."
"How can this be considered a free meal? I'm treating you..."
"Let's pay the bill. We will come here often in the future, so a small discount will be enough." You Ying said.
Liu Ben: "Yes, if you don't take my money, I won't come again."
"Well, eh... okay then."
Liu Ben transferred the money, stood up with his lunch box, and asked You Ying: "Shall we go back and play games?"
"Aren't you going to deliver the midnight snack?" You Ying asked.
"We can just warm it up when we get home. It's okay to have a late-night snack," Liu Ben said. "Let's play some games, or maybe go see a movie."
"Then let's go back to my house. I have a game console and a private cinema." You Ying stomped his feet. It was really cold that day and his feet were frozen.
"Okay, okay." It's okay at home, but Liu Ben has made up his mind that he must swim and exercise regularly in the future.
Liu Ben originally wanted to ride the motorcycle by himself, but You Ying disagreed and called another person to ride the motorcycle back, while Liu Ben and he took the car.
You Ying pushed Liu Ben onto the bike and said, "I really don't know how you managed to get out on your bike. It's so cold, don't you feel the wind hurting you?"
"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned." Liu Ben said indifferently.
You Ying reached out and pinched it: "Let me see how thick it is. Hmm, it is indeed quite thick."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The two returned to You Ying's house and continued playing the previous game. As they were playing, Liu Ben felt something was wrong.
"I am the dragon slayer!" Liu Ben raised his sword in the game.
"Okay, the monster you just killed was a lizard, right?" You Ying said.
"I am a half-bull orc!" Liu Ben jumped.
"..." You Ying looked at Liu Ben speechlessly. Liu Ben was the only one who had such a poor alcohol tolerance that he got drunk even after drinking fruit wine. However, he had a strong addiction to food. He had clearly eaten two meals, but he still drank four cans of fruit wine by himself. However, his stomach was flat again, and he didn't know where the food went.
Moreover, he was still sober when he just came out after eating, but now that he is back, he is getting crazier and crazier.
"I'll make you something to sober you up." You Ying took out his phone and searched while making sobering soup.
"Onions, garlic, bean sprouts..." The recipe You Ying was looking at didn't specify the quantities, so he just added whatever he wanted, adding more of each ingredient...
Soon You Ying brought out a bowl of strangely colored soup.
You Ying: "Come, Dalang, drink the medicine."
Although Liu Ben was having a lot of fun in the game world, when he heard You Ying's voice, he still leaned over obediently, took a big sip, and then his face twisted into a rag.
"Ugh..." Liu Ben was about to vomit. What was this smell? It was salty, spicy and fishy.
You Ying: "Don't spit it out! Swallow it!"
"Orcs will never be slaves... gulp."
You Ying: "Come and drink it all."
Liu Ben: “…”
After drinking a bowl of sobering soup, Liu Ben sat there blankly, with the corners of his mouth turned down and his face expressionless, like a wooden sculpture, and it was impossible to tell whether he was awake or not.
You Ying cleaned up the pots and pans and came out, but Liu Ben still lay there motionless, looking very stupid.
You Ying found it funny. He sat down next to Liu Ben and turned to look at him.
Although he behaved very foolishly, I have to say that when he calmed down, Liu Ben was still a handsome guy, and his handsomeness was a bit wild, even though Liu Ben's character was usually quite honest. Maybe it was because of his dark skin and strong muscles.
Speaking of which, watching Liu Ben fight today gave You a new understanding of Liu Ben's fighting ability.
Although there were 8 people on the other side, Liu Ben fought with them easily and there was no tension at all, which showed that Liu Ben was very good at it.
When they fight, every punch hits the flesh and is very powerful.
Thinking about it this way, Liu Ben really looks like the new urban legend "Minotaur Hero".
You Ying pinched Liu Ben's arm. His muscles were firm, which was consistent with the character setting. However, the Minotaur hero in the video looked at least two meters tall, and Liu Ben was about the same height as him now, only about 1.8 meters tall.
It would be possible for Liu Ben to wear stilts, robotic arms, and a special-effects muscle suit. But that would be very inconvenient. It would be hard to achieve the effortless and natural look in the video. And… no one would go to such lengths, right? Unless they were a performance artist, but Liu Ben was clearly not that kind of person.
You Ying was thinking when he suddenly heard Liu Ben speak.
"You Ying..."
You Ying turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"
"You need to exercise. I saw online that when two men are together, there's a top-and-bottom relationship. If the one on the bottom isn't in good health, it's going to be very uncomfortable."
You Ying:?
You Ying was not convinced: "How do you know you can be the one at the top? I want to be the one at the top."
Liu Ben argued with him: "But others say that the one above is stronger."
You Ying: "That's not necessarily true. Disabled, sickly, and weak tops are also very popular these days. I'm only one wheelchair away from being the typical disabled CEO top in online BL novels."
"Oh, of course, I'm just talking about my image. I'm not weak at all." At least I'm better than an ordinary person.
Liu Ben thought thoughtfully: "Is that so?"
"Yeah, if you don't believe me, just go back out and read a romance novel."
You Ying saw that Liu Ben seemed to be more alert, so he nudged him and said, "You should sleep here tonight. I don't think you can drive back by yourself, and it's already very late."
Liu Ben struggled: "Midnight snack..."
You Ying was speechless: "I'll bring it to them next time."
"That's fine," Liu Ben nodded and rubbed his eyes: "I'm sleepy." Liu Ben usually has a very regular schedule and usually goes to bed at this time.
"Come on, let's make your bed."
You Ying took Liu Ben to the guest room and got him new pajamas. Liu Ben was still able to take a shower in a daze, but the pajamas were a little small and he couldn't button them. Liu Ben didn't care and just left it open and continued to brush his teeth and wash his face.
You Ying had been staring at him from the side. Wow, Liu Ben didn't button his shirt, revealing his honey-colored chest and abdominal muscles, which were covered with mist and looked very tempting. You Ying covered his face.
However, Liu Ben seemed to be very sober at this time, but just after he finished washing up and walked to the bed, he suddenly fell on the bed and did not move.
You Ying was startled and rushed over to help. After finally turning Liu Ben over, he found that he had fallen asleep, breathing evenly, even more peacefully than the crabs he had eaten today.
You Ying patted Liu Ben in annoyance and said, "Oh my god, these chest muscles feel so good, hard and elastic."
You Ying had a serious look on his face and kept touching Liu Ben with his hands. After satisfying his desire for a while, he moved Liu Ben to the right side and covered him with the quilt.
Looking at Liu Ben's face again, he was already fast asleep.
Liu Ben: zzzZZZ…
You Ying shook his head. It was so late and he had to go take a shower and go to bed.
As for sleeping in the same bed, well, even though they have been getting along pretty well recently and have been quite intimate with each other, don't forget that they are still just on probation for each other. Even though they are both men, they still have to be careful and keep a certain distance between each other.
The weather outside is cold, but You Ying's house always turns on the air conditioner, making it as warm as spring, allowing people to have a good night's sleep.
Liu Ben woke up at 7 o'clock in the morning. The moment he opened his eyes, he felt full of energy. Seeing that it was already dawn outside, he didn't stay in bed for long. He got up, changed his clothes, quickly washed up, opened the door, and stuck his head out -
The corridor outside was quiet. You Ying had either gone out or had not gotten up yet.
Liu ran to You Ying's room and listened from above.
There was the sound of even breathing inside, so You Ying hadn't woken up yet.
Liu Ben stood up straight and walked out. You Ying hadn't had breakfast yet, so he went to buy some.
So after an hour, You Ying woke up.
