Bai Li rented an apartment in an old residential complex with not many residents around. When he took Zhizun downstairs for a walk, he only ran into two passers-by who walked by in a hurry and didn't even say hello.
One of them even glared at him fiercely, as if Bai Li's appearance had interrupted his thoughts about the world. After glaring, the man's expression changed, becoming more annoyed, and he quickened his pace and left. This made Bai Li understand this world and "Gene Collapse Disorder" a little more. The reactions of passers-by were probably also deeply troubled by the latter.
In this environment with only a few kittens around, after living there for a few days, it was the first time that Bai Li realized that there was a person opposite him.
Through a door, half of the boy's body was exposed to Bai Li's sight. He was wearing simple home clothes, his hair was flaxen, and under his slightly long bangs were a pair of round eyes. His cheeks were chubby with baby fat, and his skin was a cold white color as if he had not seen the sun for a long time.
He was only slightly shorter than Bai Li, and his face still had a childish look, making him look even younger.
The boy just held on to the door frame with his hands, staring at Bai Li. When Bai Li looked over, his eyes did not avoid at all, as if... he was waiting for Bai Li to speak first?
Bai Li tentatively greeted him, "Hello?"
Sure enough, when the boy heard Bai Li talking to him, his eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Hello, my name is Song Xinran, I'm your neighbor. Are you a new resident here?"
It turns out that he is a shy child.
Bai Li had no way to deal with people with this kind of personality, so he subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Yes, I just moved here a few days ago. My name is Bai Li, and I live across the street from you."
“Yeah, I know.” Song Xinran’s expression looked even more urgent, and one of his feet unconsciously drew circles on the ground. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he took a deep breath and raised his voice. “I often smell such delicious smells coming from your house these past two days. Brother Bai Li, can you tell me what those smells are? My stomach always growls when I smell them…”
After saying this, he seemed to feel embarrassed and covered his face, not daring to look at Bai Li again.
Now Bai Li knew that the child had come out to greet him because he was tempted by the delicious food. Such a reason was really ridiculous.
He thought about it and realized that the house here was not soundproof or odor-proof, and he would definitely need to heat up meals every day to fill his stomach. Instead of just brushing the matter off, he might as well give Song Xinran a reasonable enough explanation.
So he replied: "You are probably talking about the taste of food. It was cooked by a friend of mine and sent to me by express delivery. He has good cooking skills, so the dishes he cooks are more fragrant than ordinary food..."
After all, he is the God of Cookery. If the dishes he cooks don’t taste good, he can’t be called a “God”.
Hearing that the fragrance really came from food, and the source of the food was Bai Li's friend, Song Xinran's mood was like on a roller coaster. He didn't know whether he should be happy that he finally succeeded in solving the case, or sad that this fragrant food could not be purchased directly on Star Online.
His head drooped dejectedly, his mouth pursed into a wavy line, and he looked extremely pitiful.
Bai Li hugged Zhizun and suddenly burst out laughing. When Song Xinran looked at him resentfully, he waved his hand apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, but your expression is so funny, Xiao Song. How about this, as an apology, I treat you to dinner? I plan to have braised chicken wings and spicy and sour potato shreds tonight, with a bowl of white rice. It's a bit much, enough for two people."
As if he understood what Bai Li said, the Supreme's golden cat eyes also flashed with greed. He also liked chicken wings very much! A light orange tail curled up and secretly rubbed Bai Li's wrist. Bai Li felt the skin on his wrist itchy, and he accurately caught the tip of the tail that kept making trouble and rubbed it gently.
Yeah, comfortable.
Although he didn't know what braised chicken wings and spicy and sour potato shreds tasted like, Song Xinran was sure that they were both extremely delicious! So, his body preceded his brain, and when he came to his senses, he was already nodding frantically.
This time, his face was completely burning, so embarrassing! He was obviously very restrained, and he had never shown such an impatient look before.
Having said that, Song Xinran still couldn't bear to refuse this invitation. If nothing unexpected happened, today's dinner might be the only chance in his life to get up close and personal with delicious food.
If he doesn't seize this opportunity right in front of him, he might as well stop being a human being!
"Thank you, Brother Bai Li." Song Xinran thanked him softly and followed Bai Li like a little tail.
"It's okay, you're welcome."
As Bai Li spoke, he took Song Xinran into the house, took a pair of spare slippers from the shoe rack and asked Song Xinran to change into them, and then took him to the small restaurant he had opened.
Zhizun had been put back on the ground by Bai Li, and now he was following the two of them, with a look of confusion on his face. Why did this unknown human enter his and the other humans' home, and what did he want to do? ?
Driven by possessiveness, he suspected that this new stranger was here to steal human beings from him!
The kitten tried to catch up with the cat on its tiny legs, but because of its short legs, it soon fell behind by a long distance, and cried out in panic.
The expression is super fierce.
Song Xinran heard the voice and followed the direction it came from. He saw the little cat staring at him with its big eyes. A look of love flashed in his eyes. He thought that the cat must like him because it was looking at him like that.
But this wasn't his cat, so he just stood there and watched, and told Bai Li that his cat looked very anxious, was there something important?
Bai Li turned around and looked down, remembering how impatient Supreme was every time he ate, and guessed irresponsibly: "Well, he should be hungry too. Then I'll move faster, and we'll try to eat earlier."
"Okay, okay." Song Xinran vaguely realized that Bai Li's guess seemed to be wrong, but he couldn't find a better reason. Seeing Bai Li turned around and got busy again, he felt that he couldn't just stand there stupidly, so he stepped forward and asked, "Brother Bai Li, can I do anything for you?"
"Then help me set the table." Bai Li saw that Song Xinran really wanted to help, so he didn't refuse. He assigned the child a simple task and pointed to the location of the bowl and chopstick rack.
Song Xinran quickly got busy.
The Supreme, who was successfully ignored, fell into infinite sorrow after his initial anger. He lay in his usual position like a chubby cat pancake, occasionally puffing up his body to look up at Bai Li, but when he saw that the other party didn't notice him, he returned to his original state dejectedly.
Meow, meow, what a cruel human being. Doesn’t he know that his little cat is sad?
This state continued until the aroma of cola chicken wings wafted out.
Bai Li had taken out the food for dinner from the space before he went out, otherwise he would not have brought Song Xinran in directly. As he said, the food only needed to be simply heated up before it could be served directly. After a quick operation in the kitchen, the rich and delicious aroma of braised chicken wings soon rushed to the two people and the cat in the room.
Song Xinran was stunned in the spot, all his senses seemed to be concentrated in his nose, his brain was empty, his brain cells were clamoring to smell more, smell more, and then feed this special feeling into a deeper space. Tears almost flowed down.
Or he was awakened by a small light orange figure that suddenly jumped onto the table. Song Xinran was startled and reached out to stop the Supreme without thinking. He thought the Supreme was going to pounce on the braised chicken wings.
The Supreme braked in front of the plate of braised chicken wings, and then gave Song Xinran a contemptuous look.
Song Xinran: ???
I seem to be...despised by a little cat?
He realized belatedly that the kitten did not seem to like him, but rather something else.
Being hated.
But why? He didn't attack the kitten, and he wasn't rude to the kitten's owner. Hate can't come for no reason, right?
Song Xinran was amazed and a little aggrieved that a little kitten could have such a bad temper.
Bai Li brought the hot and sour potato shreds over and noticed the confrontation between a man and a cat. One had a round cat face and the other had a round bun face. He felt that the two were somewhat similar. He quickly guessed what happened and explained with a smile, "Xiao Song, you don't have to worry about the Supreme lying on the plate. He is more careful about food than I am and will never allow his fur to get on the food."
"Oh..." Song Xinran responded softly. After Bai Li sat down, she silently moved her chair and sat opposite him.
No longer shifting his gaze to the kitten staring at the braised chicken wings.
When Song Xinran took the bowl of rice that Bai Li pushed over, her attention was immediately attracted by the crystal white rice in the bowl, which had a translucent luster and exuded a faint rice aroma. Her eyes widened!
Before he sneaked out of the house, he could always eat food made from natural ingredients several times a month, and he had eaten white rice. In his impression, white rice is the most tasteless staple food. It feels like chewing hard plastic particles in the mouth, and it hurts the throat.
But today...
Song Xinran used chopsticks to scoop a big mouthful of rice into his mouth. It had a soft texture in his mouth and a little chewy when grinding against his teeth. Then, its unique aroma burst out in his mouth and rushed straight to the top of his head, and his soul entered a state of sublimation.
"It's delicious, so delicious..." Song Xinran said with a sob, and took a few more big mouthfuls of rice. It looked like he was going to eat the rice dry.
The Supreme watched from a distance and cast a contemptuous glance at the strange human. Humph, is white food so delicious? It's not as delicious as chicken wings!
He kept using his eyes to signal the human to quickly give him a few big, tender chicken wings.
Bai Li suppressed his laughter, selected the three largest chicken wings on the plate, carefully took out the bones, and then placed them in the Supreme's special small bowl, arranging it in a position for easy biting.
He didn't know if an ordinary little kitten could eat such heavy food, but this plate of chicken wings was made by the God of Cookery from the ten fattest and tenderest chickens that he had raised himself. He also used a special method to remove the last bit of impurities in the chicken wings, and used the best seasonings he provided. Even the bones contained a trace of spiritual energy. There would be only benefits and no harm for the little animals to eat it.
The Supreme meowed to express his gratitude to humans, then buried his head in the plate and began to eat with great concentration.
"Xiao Song, don't just focus on eating, eat some chicken wings and shredded potatoes." Bai Li reminded Song Xinran.
"Oh, okay!" Song Xinran reluctantly put down his bowl temporarily, hesitated for a moment between the chicken wings and shredded potatoes, and decisively chose the former which had deeply shocked him at the beginning.
Then……
Tears burst out!
Song Xinran's eyes were brighter than ever before. He didn't care about being shy anymore. He swallowed the chicken wing in his mouth carefully and praised excitedly: "Brother Bai Li, your friend must be the best chef in the galaxy! He is so amazing. Not only can he make the most tasteless rice so fragrant, but he can also make chicken wings with this flavor. I have never eaten such delicious food. The chicken is so tender that it can be removed from the bone with just a bite. Even the bones are fragrant when bitten! Woo... Thank you so much! Woo woo woo, it's so fragrant and delicious!"
As he spoke, he became incoherent, bit off another piece of chicken wing, and returned to the world of food.
Look how excited the child is, he even uses honorifics.
But Bai Li still wants to say something for Xingxing's ingredients: "His cooking skills are indeed good, but more importantly, the ingredients he uses are quite special."
Song Xinran could no longer hear the subtext of this sentence. Her mind was filled with the words “delicious, delicious, delicious”.
Then he ate the shredded potatoes and the same scene happened again.
The Supreme had already filled his stomach with three large chicken wings and was delicately biting the shredded potatoes one by one. Upon seeing this, he turned his head to the other side, not wanting to see this "unworldly" stranger human again.
His humans are still better, they can conjure up all kinds of delicious food.
The meal ended with Song Xinran shouting and screaming. Touching his obviously bulging belly, Song Xinran's face flushed with happiness. After fifteen years, a full fifteen years, he finally experienced the satisfaction of being full and stuffed!
After dinner, Song Xinran took over the task of cleaning up the dishes from Bai Li. He did not say goodbye to Bai Li until the kitchen was clean.
It is worth mentioning that during the whole process of Song Xinran cleaning the kitchen, Zhizun was also conducting a "territory patrol" after dinner, and the place he went most often was the kitchen where Song Xinran was.
His idea was very simple, that is, he wanted to see how long this shameless stranger human would stay in his and the humans' home, and when he would leave!
You haven't left for so long, do you want to stay here too? Humph!
Bai Li really didn't know that Supreme had such a strong sense of territory. He happily praised Supreme for being a kind little cat who knew to stay by the side with the guests.
Only Song Xinran knew that the little kitten behind him was staring at him so hard that the hairs on his back were about to stand up.
Luckily he'll be able to leave soon.
Before the door closed, the timid Song Xinran heard a heavenly voice coming from inside the door: "Xiao Song, come over and play often when you have time."
In an instant, the dark world was illuminated again.
Song Xinran: Ah, I can do it again!!
