Chapter 198 Ruined Again
Chen Sang Ning carried Lin Xi back home. After arriving home, she was in a good mood and put Big Eyeball in confinement first, then wiped Lin Xi's body and changed her clothes. While wiping her body, Lin Xi woke up. She saw that it was Chen Sang Ning in a daze, so she let her do what she wanted. She turned over to make it easier for Chen Sang Ning to wipe her body, and then continued to sleep.
Shen Sangning was in a really good mood, even humming a song. It wasn't really a tune or melody, just a few random lines of undefined syllables.
Lin Xi was not bewitched by the fakes and quickly came out of the illusion. Shen Sang Ning was very satisfied. After changing Lin Xi's clothes, she leaned over and kissed Lin Xi's cheek. Then she pulled Lin Xi's arm away and got in, snuggling into Lin Xi's arms.
While the couple was being sweet and affectionate, the situation of other anchors was not going well.
The book's illusions were truly deadly, a trap set against the human heart that was particularly terrifying. All the anchors were drawn into the book at almost the same time, and without exception, they faced the most important person in their lives.
The disappointment of their parents, the anger of their lovers, the reproaches of their friends, in the end, weave a happy world for them to stay in. In fact, that world is not real. As long as you think about it, you will know that it is fake. But in that fantasy, they have a successful career, love their lovers, and a harmonious family.
It is not possible to break free from such an illusion simply by knowing about it.
The reason why dreams are fascinating is that they are beautiful dreams.
Some streamers even failed to persevere through their dreams, their hearts shattered at the outset, and their illusions of friends and family snuffed them out. In such cases, the person in charge directly sent them a SC, telling them it was a dream and urging them to wake up.
Meng Yuxin, who had cleared the previous copy with Lin Xi, was also here. In front of her was her best sister, who was saying hateful words to her while pressing her to the ground, riding on her and strangling her neck with both hands.
At this moment, Meng Yuxin was thinking... Is it possible that her best friend really hated her? They were hugging each other before entering the dungeon, and she was crying and asking her to return to the real world, otherwise she would learn Taoism to teach Meng Yuxin a lesson even if she became a ghost.
What if... what if the other person really hated her? Living together on a daily basis, there would inevitably be some friction. Maybe the other person really did hate her...
At this moment, she received a message from SC: [Meng Yuxin, you silly woman, if you don’t wake up, I’m going to rush in and tear your head off!]
At this moment, Meng Yuxin suddenly came to her senses. That's right, that's what her best friend would say! Meng Yuxin recalled her performance in the previous instance. The scene of her stepping on the accelerator and charging towards the security ghost flashed through her mind. She wasn't even afraid of the security ghost, so why would she be afraid of her best friend's illusion?
"You're not my best friend! Get off me!" Meng Yuxin had received official training during those brief fourteen days, learning some basic self-defense techniques. She placed her hands on top of her fake best friend's, blocking the blow while simultaneously bending her knees to push the person above her away.
She was thinking in her mind: If it were Lin Xi, what would she do if she encountered such a situation?
After thinking about this, Meng Yuxin's mind suddenly became clear: Of course, she should beat the fake girl in front of her so hard that even her mother wouldn't recognize her!
Meng Yuxin rolled up her sleeves, clenched her fists, and punched the fake bestie in the face: "You're allowed to pretend to be my bestie! We are real besties! Die, fake!"
Meng Yuxin successfully passed through these illusions and came to the final stage, which was the false happiness created by the book. This was even more useless to Meng Yuxin. She tried hard to tell herself: Lin Xi was not smart either. She would not fall into such an illusion, and neither would she!
With this awareness, Meng Yuxin successfully escaped from the world of books, and then... saw a ghost. Meng Yuxin curled her lips, thinking of the rules of the copy and the rules of the library. It would be better to pretend that she didn't see it and leave first.
When Meng Yuxin was using Lin Xi as a cushion to kill, Lin Xi sneezed violently and woke up from her sleep. She stretched and looked around, but she didn't see Shen Sang Ning or Big Eyeball.
Lin Xi thought about it and knew where Big Eyes was. She stood up, put on a coat, opened the closet door, and sure enough, found Big Eyes inside. After slowly untying the banknotes from Big Eyes, Big Eyes excitedly wanted to pounce on Lin Xi, but was ruthlessly slapped away by Lin Xi.
After rescuing the big eyeball, it was time to find his wife. Lin Xi looked around and confirmed that Shen Sang Ning was not in the room, nor squatting in the bathroom, before opening the door and walking out. As soon as he walked out of the room, he heard the sound of ping-pong. Lin Xi stopped and listened carefully, and found that the source of the sound was in the kitchen.
"..." At this moment, Lin Xi had a bad premonition.
She quickened her pace and walked to the kitchen, and saw Shen Sangning working in front of the stove through the glass sliding door. Lin Xi poked her head out to watch, and Shen Sangning seemed to sense Lin Xi's gaze, so she turned around and glanced at Lin Xi: "Are you up?"
When Shen Sangning said this, she was particularly careful to use her body to shield the pot behind her.
Lin Xi understood instantly: she had messed up the cooking again.
This wasn't the first time Shen Sangning had messed up a dish; it had happened often back in the apartment. There were times when Shen Sangning wanted to impress Lin Xi, but even a top student couldn't get high scores in every subject.
At least Shen Sangning is not good at cooking.
When she cooks, she often fails to control the heat well, resulting in the dishes being either burnt or undercooked. Even if both of these two conditions are met, the taste will still be weird due to too much or too little salt. Shen Sangning's biggest black history is that she accidentally made a mistake with the salt and sugar, resulting in the vegetables she cooked being completely inedible.
Lin Xi wouldn't care if Shen Sangning's food wasn't tasty, because if Shen Sangning ruined it, she wouldn't eat it at all and would just throw it all into the trash can.
Chen Sangning would also complain to her: "Online cooking tutorials don't tell you how much salt to put in. They only say to use the right amount. How can I possibly know what the right amount is?" Although they say so, bloggers who teach desserts have clearly used the ingredients down to the exact gram, and Chen Sangning still can't make them well.
"Don't try to fool me with these classic lines from romance novels. You just don't have any talent for cooking."
Lin Xi actually knew that most people didn't have any talent for cooking, including herself. When she first started cooking, she would often scream because of the oil splashing around, and like Shen Sang Ning, the food would either be burnt or too much salt would be added, making it inedible.
This was a very common thing. The average person had no talent for cooking; it all came down to practice. Lin Xi believed that if Shen Sangning continued to cook, she would eventually become a master. Even if she didn't become the best chef, at least home-cooked dishes wouldn't be a problem for her.
Lin Xi believed in Shen Sang Ning so much. In her heart, Shen Sang Ning was omnipotent.
But she didn't want Shen Sang Ning to suffer the pain of cooking. Cooking is not only hard when cooking, but also very hard when preparing it in the early stage. Especially some dishes that are difficult to handle, such as spinach and prawns. Spinach is just a lot of dirt on the roots, so just wash it more. Prawns are much more difficult, and you have to pick out the shrimp thread, which is one of the things that Lin Xi hates the most.
The prawns are delicious, not just ordinary delicious, so Lin Xi also likes to make them for Chen Sang Ning.
Besides prawns, summer crayfish are a real delicacy, not only for their delicious flavor but also for their incredibly difficult preparation. Not only do you have to remove the shrimp thread, but you also have to scrub the body and trim off any troublesome parts. All this processing takes half an hour before you can even eat a single crayfish.
After that, seasoning and
Start frying in the wok. If you want to make a hearty meal, it will take at least an hour. If there is a big dish, it will take more than an hour and a half.
Lin Xi loves Chen Sang Ning, so she can do these things for her without feeling any hardship. Chen Sang Ning occasionally feels like cooking for Lin Xi, and it's for the same reason, she wants Lin Xi to taste the meal she made and reward her.
However, Lin Xi knew how hard cooking was, so she didn't want Shen Sang Ning to have to endure the pain. Shen Sang Ning's cooking wasn't very good, so she wouldn't compliment her against her will. Instead, she said to her, "It's rare for a college bully to not know how to do something. I finally beat you in this matter!"
Shen Sangning would be a little angry: "You are too mean!"
In the end, Shen Sangning was unable to cook a good dish until the day she died. The only thing she could cook was probably... cold cucumber salad.
Seeing Shen Sangning's expression, she knew that Shen Sangning had probably ruined the dish again. Lin Xi felt this way. She pushed open the sliding door and walked inside, and sure enough, she smelled a burnt smell.
"What did you burn?"
A rare look of guilt appeared on Shen Sangning's face. She subconsciously covered the things behind her again: "Red, red braised pork."
Shen Sangning's courage is growing. How can she, who can't even make stir-fried pork with green peppers, have the courage to try braised pork? Lin Xi walked directly to Shen Sangning and stretched out her hand to push Shen Sangning aside.
She took a closer look and saw that what lay in the pot wasn't braised pork at all, but rather black coal briquettes. Lin Xi recalled the last time Shen Sang Ning tried to help her cut up the meat, nearly turning the kitchen into a crime scene. The meat she had cut into these strange shapes was truly bizarre.
Now, a pot of coal briquettes was smashed into the pot.
Not only were the coal balls black, but they were also the kind with flame effects. Lin Xi saw a faint red fire inside the black coal balls. She lowered her head and blew gently, blowing up a layer of black ash and causing the fire inside the black coal balls to burn a little.
“…”
Being able to cook dishes like this is a kind of talent.
At this moment, Lin Xi really wanted to praise Shen Sang Ning, but considering that she was indeed hungry, she could only suddenly open the window and throw out Shen Sang Ning's hard work and the pot.
