Chapter 174
"This is my seat, thank you!" Wang Tao put down the sweet and sour pork in his hand and picked up the chopsticks next to him, and diligently put some pork into Rong Rong's bowl.
Yin Wang's cold gaze fell upon Wang Tao as if he were looking at a dead man. Wang Tao ignored him, smiled at Rong Rong, and then began to eat.
"Where should I sit? I haven't eaten yet," Ruan Qing asked, her eyes red, staring intently at the back of Wang Tao's head.
"There's food everywhere here, just find whatever you want to eat." Wang Tao didn't even look up, eating heartily himself while still taking care of Rong Rong.
What he said wasn't wrong. In this soon-to-open scenic area, the restaurant's freezer was stocked with plenty of food, and Ruan Qing could take whatever she wanted to eat; there was definitely no shortage of food for her.
But the key point is that Wang Tao clearly prepared such a large meal, yet he still made Ruan Qing find it herself. The meaning was obvious: he didn't want Ruan Qing to eat what he made.
They're a team! To exclude her like this is simply heartless and shows they don't consider her one of their own!
Ruan Qing turned around angrily and went to the kitchen, deciding to cook for herself if she wanted to.
She quickly found a steak, intending to fry it for lunch.
Unfortunately, she didn't have much skill, and in no time the steak started to smell burnt.
Watching her steak gradually turn black in the pot, and listening to the laughter of the people at the table, especially Wang Tao and Qi Xiu vying to talk to Rong Rong, clearly trying to please her, Ruan Qing couldn't help but burst into tears.
Just because she's beautiful, they're treating her coldly like this? Wang Tao used to call her "little sister" all the time!
Tears blurred her vision. Ruan Qing felt extremely wronged, as if she had completely forgotten that her little scheme of deliberately delaying time to harm Rong Rong and even hoping that Rong Rong would get into trouble had already been exposed.
As the burnt smell of the steak grew stronger and stronger, even the people at the table could smell it, Ruan Qing quickly wiped away her tears and looked at Wang Tao hopefully.
Will the other person see that she can't do it well and help her fry it?
"Damn it, what kind of culinary monstrosity are you making? Take it away right now, don't let me smell the poison!" Wang Tao yelled, pinching his nose, then gently asked Rong Rong, "Rong Rong, are you alright? Will this affect your meal?"
"It's okay, I'm full!" Rong Rong wiped her mouth, leaned back in her chair, and wanted to rub her full belly without caring about her image.
But in reality, her body is very special. No matter how much or how little she eats, her figure never changes, let alone a protruding belly, which simply doesn't exist.
But that didn't stop her from lazily lying on the ground like a well-fed kitten, basking in the sun with her paws in the air.
Her cute and charming appearance brought a smile to everyone at the table.
Ruan Qing, who was ignored in the kitchen, burst into tears again in anger.
Unfortunately, nobody cared...
"I'm a little thirsty." Rong Rong smacked her lips and got up to go find some water.
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Mingxu suddenly made a move. He picked up a clean cup on the table, stretched out his hand, and in the blink of an eye, a cup of water appeared.
“The water in the apocalypse isn’t clean, you should drink this.” Xiao Mingxu pushed the water glass to Rong Rong, saying that the water condensed by a water-type ability user was guaranteed to be the cleanest water in the world.
However, Xiao Mingxu's claim that the water in the apocalypse was unclean mostly refers to tap water. Rong Rong's request to get bottled water from before the apocalypse actually had no impact.
Rong Rong didn't think much of it, but Wang Tao and the others immediately understood that Xiao Mingxu was looking for an excuse to get close to Rong Rong.
So Wang Tao didn't give Rong Rong any face and pushed the water glass away first when Rong Rong reached for it.
"I'll make you another soup; it'll feel good to drink it hot." Wang Tao stood up with a smile, naturally clearing away all the water glasses on the table, determined not to give Xiao Mingxu a chance to show off.
Xiao Mingxu stared intently at Wang Tao, who chuckled. He knew that no matter how angry the captain was, he wouldn't say much in front of Rong Rong.
Sure enough, Xiao Mingxu soon looked away and continued eating his meal as if nothing had happened. Wang Tao was overjoyed, unaware that Qi Xiu looked at him with a mixture of envy and pity.
I envy Wang Tao for gaining Rong Rong's favor so quickly, and he'll continue to do so in the future. I feel sorry for Wang Tao, who's so naive. He's offended the captain and doesn't even know how the captain will deal with him.
Qi Xiu believed she knew Xiao Mingxu quite well; he was not someone to be trifled with and would definitely retaliate against Wang Tao.
Rong Rong, oblivious to the undercurrents among them, simply said crisply, "Alright then!"
Perhaps she noticed, but didn't care much. She's used to similar situations, okay? She can just ignore it, what else can she do?
Rong Rong rested her chin on her hand and sat obediently in her seat, waiting.
Wang Tao strode into the kitchen and said, "If you don't know how to cook, get out of here!" He then pushed the stunned Ruan Qing aside.
Ruan Qing could no longer hold back, angrily slammed the steak down, and ran away.
Wang Tao kicked the steak out of the kitchen, sending it flying a long way.
"What is so disgusting?"
"Hmph!" Wang Tao snorted, then turned around and happily hummed a little tune as he made pork rib soup for Rong Rong.
I'm grateful that he wanted to become a food vlogger and specifically went to learn cooking skills. He was even annoyed that he hadn't used his cooking skills and ended up making a living based on his looks.
It turns out his culinary skills were going to be very useful in the future!
As for Ruan Qing being driven away by him again? Why was he so cold to Ruan Qing? Sorry, he's just someone who hates evil and has a naturally sharp tongue, there's nothing he can do about it.
When he dislikes someone, he shows absolutely no mercy, regardless of whether the other person is male or female. What is gentlemanly conduct? Can you eat it?
Wang Tao quickly prepared the soup and brought it to Rong Rong. As soon as he reached the table, he felt a chill, but he ignored it, knowing it was the captain's low spirits.
But then he sensed a strong killing intent.
Danger! The apocalypse had made Wang Tao more perceptive. He instantly looked up, his eyes meeting Yin Wang's cold, dark gaze.
The two locked eyes; one's gaze was sharp, the other's was cold and emotionless, like the gaze of death.
Wang Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, instinctively feeling that this person was not quite right.
How can someone be so numb, like a cold-blooded robot, yet still so full of murderous intent?
Wang Tao subconsciously looked at Xiao Mingxu again, wondering if Xiao Mingxu had noticed this. He saw Xiao Mingxu gently press his arm and silently shake his head at him.
Oh, so the captain noticed too. Then it's not that he was overthinking it.
So, Rong Rong, the goddess, has been with this kind of pervert all along? How can this possibly get better?
Wang Tao felt a wave of fear, worried that Rong Rong might be harmed by the devil beside her. Fortunately, nothing happened.
Wang Tao casually looked away from Yin Wang and naturally sat down to continue eating.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became indescribably strange, but no matter how strange it was, it couldn't compare to the feeling that Yin Wang gave Xiao Mingxu and the others.
After Rongrong finished the soup, she was truly full this time.
Rong Rong was very satisfied to be able to have such a normal meal in the apocalypse. When she first came to this world, Rong Rong thought she was going to suffer a lot, but fortunately, her life has been fine so far.
Perhaps the most painful thing was facing zombies on the very first day after I arrived?
Rong Rong looked up and thought for a moment. After spending several days in this resort, she had almost forgotten that they were actually escaping from the apocalypse.
