The house that Ye Chao rented for Gou Liang was only a five-minute walk away from the school.
A one-hundred-and-twenty square meter house with two bedrooms and one living room was considered a luxury for a single person in this world.
Li Linling and the others unceremoniously opened the door with the spare key and led the first-time guests into the house. Soon, they were shocked by the cleanliness of the house.
Everyone consciously took off their shoes and arranged their shoes properly. Almost no one dared to step into the hallway. The living room was very spacious. Other than the necessary sofa and other furniture, it could even be called empty. However, the vibrant green plants, the fresh and comfortable air, and the simple and generous furnishings all revealed the taste and character of the owner. It was very comfortable to look at.
When Gou Liang led his team back, he did not stand on ceremony with them. He left the early preparations such as arranging the long folding table that he just bought, washing the bowls and chopsticks, and making the juice to them. He took two big bags of ingredients into the kitchen and refused to let anyone else join in.
Today's main meal was hotpot. It was a very lively meal that was suitable for many people to eat together.
Gou Liang concentrated on processing the ingredients, preparing the sauce and the soup base. His movements were professional and fast.
Gou Liang, who did not have enough food to fill his stomach in the transitional world, had a love and persistence for food engraved in his soul. In the past, he liked to entertain the souls of chefs the most. Then, he would save up soul coins and occasionally go to the expensive experience hall of the Space Administration to turn these recipes into delicious food. It could be said that, other than those two stupid soul pets, this was the place where he spent the most money in the past thousand years.
He was concentrating all his attention when he suddenly received a system notification.
[Ding, dear master, the target is only three meters away from you.]
*
After finishing all the preparation work, Shi Yu looked around at the students who gathered on the balcony to admire the plants, gathered on the sofa to watch a movie, or gathered together to eat fruits and juice... In short, they were very unrestrained and free. In the end, he could not sit still and decided to go to the kitchen to ask if there was anything he could do to help.
As he was walking over, Gou Liang happened to open the sliding door of the kitchen with his foot and walked out with a heavy XLL-sized fruit iceberg.
Gou Liang walked with some difficulty. When he saw him, he froze for a moment and smiled. "Deskmate, you came at the right time. Help me bring it over."
Shi Yu naturally agreed. He had only taken two steps back with the things in his hands when an idiot pounced on the iceberg. The other party unceremoniously picked up the silver spoon placed on the edge of the glass basin and dug a big hole in the iceberg. He ate with an intoxicated expression. "So thick! Qi Cheng is too annoying! "
Shi Yu: "…"
Even the iceberg dessert from the XLLL was nothing in the face of more than a dozen hungry mouths. When Gou Liang pushed open the kitchen door and poked his head out, before he could call for help, the foodie representatives had already rushed forward. Some of them helped to carry the ingredients, and some of them served the main dishes. There were also a few people who carried three different pot bases and placed them on the already placed induction cookers.
As soon as the fire was turned on, the bottom of the pot, which had already reached the boiling point, immediately began to boil. Bubbles bubbled and rolled, and a rich aroma of food rushed out.
"Awesome! 〃 ∀ 〃 "
The non-spicy tomato pot base, the mildly spicy pot base, and the extremely spicy pot base made people salivate. In addition, there was the big plate chicken, cola chicken wings, curry beef, spicy crayfish … It was simply unbearable for a second!
"Qi Cheng, you're amazing! Oh my god, that's great!! "
This meal had completely exceeded everyone's expectations. They had never expected that Gou Liang would make so many delicious dishes in just an hour of eating, drinking, and playing!
Those who couldn't resist the temptation and reached out their chopsticks were slapped back by the hands beside them. "The chef hasn't even come to the table yet. What's the rush?" They could only bite their chopsticks and wait.
Fortunately, Gou Liang didn't make them wait too long. He wiped the sweat on his face and neck and came out.
"Come, come, everyone, let's toast to our great chef!"
Everyone stood up and clinked their glasses with fruit juice. They felt very happy without doing anything. After sitting down, they began to eat their favorite dishes without needing Gou Liang's instructions. They were all young people who were not restrained. Some walked around the long table to eat, and some urged others to pick some dishes that were far away from them from time to time. Even the most virtuous of friends could start a murderous glare at others for a piece of meat.
At the scene, perhaps only Shi Yu, who had never experienced such a "casual" way of eating, was the most uncomfortable.
His family was not particular about not talking when eating, but they were very disciplined. This kind of free-style dining etiquette was really not in line with his aesthetic standards.
Once again, because of his hesitation, he was preempted by others. Shi Yu kept a smile and glanced at Gou Liang.
His slightly wet sideburns were still stained with sweat. It was obvious that it was not easy for him to prepare such a large table of dishes. Shi Yu had already seen through his bones that he was protective of his food. At this moment, seeing his red face and the fact that he was eating slowly, Shi Yu understood the correct way of eating, but he was too thin-skinned.
Gou Liang ate with his head down. For a piece of beef, he did not hesitate to raise his nose at his classmates. He did not have the self-awareness to treat his guests at all. Until the System's message, [Master, seize the opportunity!] [Master, favorability, favorability, don't just think about eating, you glutton!] [Stop counting the soul coins you have. Do you still remember the target on your left, master?] Then, he saw the crazed messages of [Wuwuwu]. Reluctantly, he used the serving chopsticks to pick up some sweet cabbage for Shi Yu and urged him, "Hurry up and eat. It's delicious. Don't be shy."
Shi Yu, who had not stretched his chopsticks far away, was stunned. Then, he smiled at Gou Liang and said, "Thank you."
[Ding! Current favorability: + 40.]
[System: You love to feed your target, master! Go, master!! Favorability, favorability, favorability [Infinite Loop]]
Gou Liang, who had already grasped some of the characteristics of a top student, completely ignored the System. He did not think that he would be able to gain favorability by giving Shi Yu more food.
After the meal.
Almost everyone had the same expression and the same actions. They held their satisfied stomachs and spread out on their chairs. Their faces were full of reminiscence.
Even Shi Yu, who had always been restrained, accidentally ate until he was full. When no one was looking, he touched his bloated stomach. Gou Liang squinted his eyes happily. Although he saw it, he did not expose it, lest he be laughed at by Shi Yu's standard smiling face.
Li Linling said, "We can't just sit here and do nothing. Why don't we tidy up and think of something to play to help digest the food?"
Zhang Xiao agreed, "Yeah, we're not in a hurry to go home, right?"
Everyone came up with a plan. Except for two students whose homes were far away, the others cleaned up the table, washed the dishes, and gathered in the spacious living room to discuss what to play.
In the end, they finalized Li Linling's suggestion — a campus belle with good looks, good grades, and a good temper was always easy to follow.
Her suggestion was very simple. A physical direction game: choose one person to be the champion, and the two of them will take turns shouting "left, right, up, down, front" to confuse each other. Regardless of whether the actions match the slogan or not, as long as the champion can make the challenger do the same action within ten actions, the champion wins. Otherwise, the challenger wins.
Zhang Xiao also said, "The loser, the boy has to choose someone to do ten push-ups, and the girl has to choose someone to do ten sit-ups!"
Some of the thin-skinned girls wanted to refuse, but Gou Liang excitedly took out a large durian and an apple from the fridge. He looked at the girls who were trying to avoid him and said with a laugh, "The loser, if the person he chooses refuses, he has to do push-ups with the durian and kiss it ten times. As for the girl, if a girl is chosen as an assistant, the other person has to hold the apple to her forehead and touch it. "
This proposal received a strong response from the girls.
The first champion was Chen Li Bai, who was chosen by Gou Liang. Who asked him to offend him? The latter frowned and stood in the champion's position, accepting the challengers according to their student numbers.
The student numbers of Lecheng Middle School were based on the school's admission results. Shi Yu was an exception, and her student number was behind Gou Liang, who originally had the worst grades, so the first challenger was Zhan Yongzhe.
Chen Li Bai said, "Ah Zhe, you know I hate durians the most. Please have mercy, I beg you."
Zhan Yongzhe said, "It just so happens that I hate durians too."
Everyone laughed. The boat of friendship capsized just like that.
"Left!"
"Right!"
Chen Li Bai shouted loudly, but unfortunately, he still couldn't defeat the determined Zhan Yongzhe. In the end, all his companions who were gloating and watching a good show refused his invitation to do human push-ups. They resigned themselves to their fate and kissed the durians lovingly. He held his breath until his face and neck turned red. When he kissed the durian for the fifth time, he couldn't help but tilt his head to take a breath. Then, he was choked by the smell of durians and showed a particularly miserable expression.
Everyone laughed, and among them, Gou Liang laughed the most cheerfully.
When Chen Li Bai struggled to get up, his whole face was still wrinkled. "Student Qi Cheng, I formally apologize for punching you last time. Next time, don't play with me like that, okay?"
Gou Liang said, "At least you know your place. I was thinking of a way to make you kneel on the durian and sing 'Conquer' to me later. Now, I'll let you off." He looked like a great person who didn't hold a grudge against a petty person. Frightened, Chen Li Bai bowed and thanked him. What else could he say?
"Hahaha, Qi Cheng, you're too ruthless. I have to give you a thumbs up!"
Everyone was watching the fun.
Then, Zhan Yongzhe became the champion and defeated two challengers in a row. In the end, he was defeated by Li Linling. After "kissing" the durian, he rushed to the kitchen to rinse his mouth.
The school belle's gaming talent couldn't be underestimated. She almost dominated the whole game, but in the end, she was defeated by Gou Liang. She asked Zhang Xiao to help. The two of them couldn't stop laughing as they knocked their heads against the apple. They did ten sit-ups for three minutes. In the middle, Li Linling laughed until she had no strength. Zhang Xiao held the apple and lowered her head to knock her forehead.
Gou Liang wiped his sweat because of their inexplicable laughter. Then, he jumped a few times on the spot, waved his hands, and made a few boxing ready moves. He said to the last person left, "Dear deskmate, you're about to relive the taste of failure. Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance."
Shi Yu stood in front of him and smiled gently. "You too."
Gou Liang choked on his words. The two of them looked at each other, as if there was a flash of sword light.
The people who were laughing and joking couldn't help but quiet down. They looked at Gou Liang and Shi Yu, whose eyes were full of murderous intent and fighting spirit. Ever since Gou Liang lost to Shi Yu in the monthly exam by one point, there was always some competition between the two of them. Now, it had become real.
Gou Liang: "Go!"
Shi Yu: "Go."
Gou Liang: "Left!"
Shi Yu: "Left."
Gou Liang: "Back!"
Shi Yu: "Back."
Gou Liang: "…" It's not that easy to provoke me!
He gave Shi Yu a bright smile. His cat eyes were curved, and his pair of deep dimples were so sweet that it was sickening. While Shi Yu was unprepared, Gou Liang threw a mental hint at him and shouted, "Right!"
Shi Yu: "Right …?!"
He looked at his own hand. Just now, he subconsciously did the same thing as Gou Liang. He looked at Gou Liang, who was smugly standing there and smiling like an athlete who had won a gold medal. He said happily, "Genius Shi has lost again. Contestant Qi Cheng is invincible. Everyone, give him a round of applause!"
The students were amused. Even Shi Yu couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. Then, he said with a serious face, "Contestant Qi Cheng, Genius Shi has appointed you to accept your punishment. Do you dare to accept it?"
Gou Liang, who was still smirking, turned around and said, "Are you sure?"
Shi Yu immediately caught the hint of a smirk in his eyes. Just as he was about to think about it, Gou Liang shouted, "Of course! Why wouldn't I dare? As everyone can see, having the courage to admit defeat and constantly seeking death is one of the few strengths of the top student Shi. "As he spoke, Gou Liang had already dissected the durian as fast as he could and took out a piece to eat.
The students who instantly understood his sinister intentions: … What else could they do other than light a candle for Genius Shi? Hahahaha!
Seeing Shi Yu's expression change, Gou Liang narrowed his eyes and laughed even more happily. You want to compete with me? Don't think that I didn't see you. You were the one who hid the furthest when you took out the durian.
In the mindscape, the System, which couldn't stop its master from courting death, stared at the System with fear and trepidation: Running tear.gif
Gou Liang finished eating a piece of durian and took the initiative to lie down. He hooked his finger at Shi Yu and said, "Do you dare?"
Shi Yu: "…"
With a straight face, he leaned on Gou Liang's body and posed. Gou Liang bared his teeth and revealed a bright smile.
Li Linling held Zhang Xiao's hand at the side. She stomped her feet and howled because of this ecstasy. She also laughed with Zhang Xiao because of the obvious hopelessness on Shi Yu's face that could not be ignored.
"Hey, Genius Shi's movements aren't standard enough. You can't take it anymore? Are your arms filled with pork? "
"My dear deskmate, look at me. I've made such a big sacrifice for you, but you're so cold to me. I'm so sad."
"Shi Yu, don't you know that it's basic courtesy to look at the other person's eyes when they're talking to you? Let me tell you, I liked your name the first time I heard it. Don't you think it's very appetizing? Also … "
"Shut up! Shut up! "
Shi Yu couldn't take it anymore. He quickly finished the remaining two push-ups, turned over, covered his nose, and sat aside.
As for Gou Liang …
He was already holding his stomach and rolling around on the floor laughing.
[Hopeless System: Ding! Target's favorability level has been updated. Current favorability level: Data is unstable. Calculating accurately. T Д T]
Gou Liang got up and leaned over to Shi Yu. He put his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile, "I've made Genius Shi lose his cool. Aren't you going to congratulate me?"
Shi Yu silently turned his face away. He reached out and took a piece of melon from the low table and stuffed it into Gou Liang's mouth.
Gou Liang: "…"
[Gou Liang: You're not really angry, are you? [Rubbing chin]]
[System that has already pulled a bunch of gibberish to strangle itself: Don't stop me … o o o.]
This time, the calculation of favorability level took longer than Gou Liang expected. He couldn't sleep for the first half of the night because of the System's cries.
[Gou Liang's forehead: How do you want to die, hm?]
[System: Sob sob, the target isn't asleep yet you only want to sleep. Doesn't your conscience hurt? T, T]
[Gou Liang raised his eyebrows in surprise: What is he doing?]
[System: Sob sob sob.]
The System cried as it showed him the target's blind spot. The location was still in the study. According to Gou Liang's recent observations, this guy spent two-thirds of his time at home except for sleeping. He couldn't see what he was doing, but from the black and white words on the corner of the table, he was writing calligraphy.
Silence.
Looking at another piece of paper with the word "silence" written on it, Gou Liang's mouth twitched. He thought to himself: It seems that I really stepped on a landmine this time … Tsk, it's just a piece of durian. Is there a need to be so angry?
At three o 'clock in the morning, Shi Yu stopped.
[Ding! Target's current favorability level: + 40.]
[Gou Liang: … Wasting my expression, hehe.]
[The System patted its chest and sobbed as if it had just survived a disaster: Fortunately, it's not -40. Master, you have to be grateful! You can't be so willful in the future!]
[Gou Liang: Oh.]
The light in the study went out, leaving a stack of words swallowed by the darkness.
*
On the Sunday after the sports meet, Le Cheng pulled the students back to school for Friday's classes.
Unlike the other returning students who were complaining, most of the students in the third grade class were full of energy. The students who were hurt by the food photos on their WeChat Moments and couldn't attend the hot pot party suddenly felt regretful when they heard other people talking about how good Gou Liang's cooking was and how exciting the game was.
When Gou Liang walked into the class with a bulging backpack, someone greeted him and told him to invite him to a similar party next time. He glanced at Ye Hui's empty seat and nodded in a good mood.
"Good morning, deskmate ~"
Gou Liang patted Shi Yu's shoulder. Gou Liang clearly felt Shi Yu avoid him: … Still angry? Isn't he a bit too grumpy?
The System replayed the scene where the target wrote at least two thousand words of "Jing" in one day and one night on Saturday, indicating that it didn't want to talk to its stupid master at all.
Fortunately, Shi Yu quickly looked up from his book as usual and smiled at him: "Good morning."
Gou Liang sat down with a smile, opened his beloved backpack, took out two individually packed food boxes and cutlery, and put them on Shi Yu's table: "Breakfast."
Shi Yu was stunned and said hesitantly: "… Bet?"
Gou Liang stared at him: "If you agree to bet, you have to accept defeat. Although I won unfairly, I don't owe you anything. I invited you alone, can't I? "
"Of course … You can."
Shi Yu smiled.
