Knock knock knock—!
Who is it?
"It's me."
Lu Wanqing opened the door with a puzzled look and asked, "Luo Chen, what brings you here?"
"Haha, it's almost noon, and I couldn't think of where to eat. Then I remembered that you're a good cook, so I thought I'd come over for a free meal."
Lu Wanqing was taken aback by Luo Chen's answer, her face flushed slightly, and then she invited Luo Chen and Hu Po in.
Luo Chen had Hu Po place the fruit he had bought on the table, and then asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"
Two days have passed since Qin Xiyao's disastrous cooking, and Raphael and Tiger Soul are currently fine; in fact, their strength has increased.
But Lu Wanqing was an ordinary person. She vomited for most of the day and it took her a long time to recover.
Lu Wanqing's complexion doesn't show any problems right now.
If you're concerned, you should still ask.
"Ah, no..."
Lu Wanqing was taken aback. Although she understood what Luo Chen was asking, she found it a bit strange that he asked such a question all of a sudden.
Have you noticed any changes in yourself?
"change?"
Lu Wanqing placed the poured water glasses in front of Luo Chen and Hu Po, thought for a while and said, "It seems not, on the contrary, I feel that I am sleeping much better recently."
"Wouldn't this be considered a change?"
Upon hearing this answer, Luo Chen glanced at Tiger Soul.
Tiger Soul blinked innocently, as if unaware of the situation.
Lu Wanqing was also puzzled.
What did Luo Chen want to know by asking these questions?
[It seems Qin Xiyao's culinary disaster did have some effect.]
[Wouldn't this be considered a character breakdown...?]
[The host successfully dissed the opponent; reward: +3 Intelligence.]
In the book's plot, Qin Xiyao's disastrous cooking is the kind that causes unbearable pain.
No matter what dish you make, even if you follow the recipe exactly, unexpected things will happen.
No matter how normal it looks, the taste will always bring tears to your eyes and leave you filled with regret.
Of course, many people became Qin Xiyao's guinea pigs.
However, the book doesn't describe any effect of Qin Xiyao's culinary creations.
In other words, each person who eats Qin Xiyao's dishes will experience various chain reactions and subtle changes.
The rest was not explained at all.
Even in later episodes, this point wasn't specifically mentioned.
Luo Chen stroked his chin. He hadn't come here today just to freeload a meal.
On one hand, I wanted to verify something, and on the other hand, I had other things to do.
The reason for suddenly asking Lu Wanqing this question was to verify whether the other party had also undergone some special changes.
But simply having better sleep doesn't really constitute a change.
Of course, not everyone changes.
Old Xu got tricked by Tiger Soul that day and drank fish head soup.
I'm still not over it, though it's not to the point where I need to lie in a hospital bed with an IV drip.
But he looked haggard these past few days.
He seems to be out of his mind no matter what he does.
If the system hadn't told Luo Chen that Uncle Xu was alright, he wouldn't have been seriously injured.
I almost wanted to take Uncle Xu to the hospital for a full checkup.
Tiger Soul seems like an honest person, and he's reliable in his work.
I never imagined they could be so ruthless when they were ripping people off.
They suffer themselves, yet they want to drag others down with them.
Uncle Xu was undoubtedly the most tragic victim.
At least Tiger Soul and his group have some advantages.
But Uncle Xu didn't get anything; instead, he got himself ripped off.
[...]
Lu Wanqing went out to buy groceries, and Luo Chen asked Hu Po to accompany her.
Since they already knew that Luo Chen was preparing to return to Ningcheng, today's meal would certainly not be too simple.
Tiger Soul helped carry the groceries, which could be considered a small punishment for him.
Lu Ze was drinking tea with Luo Chen.
Lu Ze was overjoyed to see Luo Chen.
After some pleasantries...
Lu Ze asked, "By the way, what brings you here today?"
"You're not really just here for a simple meal, are you?"
"I heard from Wanqing that you were going back to Ningcheng, weren't you?"
Lu Ze already knew Luo Chen's identity, although he didn't know much about Ningcheng.
But Lu Ze understood the implications of being the head of a family.
In Yan Province, isn't this the status of the Ye family and the Jiang family?
Ningcheng is not comparable to Yan Province, but Lu Ze will not underestimate the Luo family because of its location.
A place does not restrict the development of a family, whether in ancient or modern times.
Those who can expand their family's influence are not to be underestimated.
Lu Ze hasn't left the house much in recent years, but he still understands these principles.
Luo Chen smiled and said, "I do need to go back to Ningcheng, but I have some things to do, so I'll postpone it a little."
"oh?"
Lu Ze didn't quite understand what he was saying.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, but what you want to do isn't just about having a meal alone, is it?"
Lu Ze smiled. The two times Luo Chen had come here to eat before, his daughter had cooked for him, and she did so on other occasions as well.
But when Luo Chen came to visit, Lu Wanqing took the cooking much more seriously, and the flavors were different from usual.
Having eaten this for so many years, how could Lu Ze not be able to tell the difference?
It also caused some strange thoughts to arise in his mind.
However, they treated each other with respect, but there was no obvious closeness between them.
Lu Ze then suppressed such thoughts for the time being.
After all, some things, if you make wild guesses without any clues, can cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
They could only assume that Luo Chen was special, and that he had done their family a favor after all.
It's only right to cook something special for your benefactor.
However, Lu Wanqing's cooking skills were quite good, and she also received praise from Luo Chen.
But Lu Ze had no idea that what Luo Chen wanted to do was exactly this.
"Of course, we have to eat."
"The same things need to be done."
Luo Chen didn't feel embarrassed at all that Lu Ze had seen through his thoughts.
She smiled and then said, "I didn't come here to eat. Wanqing has already gone out, and there are some things I want to talk to you about."
"What's up?"
Seeing Luo Chen's slightly serious expression, Lu Ze's smile gradually faded.
"Uncle Lu...do you want your wife to return to normal?"
"What!"
Lu Ze was immediately shocked: "What did you say?"
Lu Ze had expected Luo Chen to say something to him, and he was mentally prepared, waiting for Luo Chen to continue.
But Luo Chen's words shattered his mental preparations, leaving him speechless and incoherent.
"I, I, I, am sure I didn't hear wrong?"
Lu Ze became agitated, his gaze fixed intently on Luo Chen.
As if trying to see something in the other person's eyes.
