The allure of delicious food was endless.
One of the most important desires of humans was appetite, and it wasn't something that could be changed by one's will. Besides, this was a virtual world. Everything was good in this world, except for the fact that one couldn't hide one's expression. Because this game was reproduced by the machine by directly reading the human brain waves, what one thought in one's mind would be reflected in the real world.
If this was the real world, Asuna might be able to control her expression, but in this virtual world, she couldn't help but show an intoxicated expression when she felt the intense stimulation of delicious food.
How embarrassing!
Asuna lowered her head shyly. She was usually the most serious person in this group of people, and she didn't like to laugh or talk. And now, she was actually showing such an expression in front of Fangzheng. In Asuna's opinion, it was simply … embarrassing!
In fact, the reason why Asuna had such a huge reaction was because even though the food was delicious, it wasn't that exaggerated. The main reason was that ever since Asuna entered the game, she had been living a simple life. She had devoted herself to strategy, training, and leveling up. Usually, when she was hungry, she would only eat some dry bread or a few sandwiches. It was only on the day of the Fangzheng Guild's establishment that Asuna ate some good food. But at that time, she was worried about her future, so the food was tasteless and tasteless.
Now that the Level One Overlord had been eliminated, they had a good start. Asuna's nerves weren't as tense as before, and after being dragged around the streets by Fangzheng for a long time, her anger had mostly dissipated. This was the moment when her inner defenses were at its weakest, and this delicious steak was like a sharp sword that pierced through the last line of defense in the depths of Asuna's heart. She was completely immersed in the charm of the food.
Asuna lowered her head and tried desperately to control her expression, but she couldn't do it. She wanted to stop eating, but her hands seemed to have an independent consciousness as they continued to slice the steak into her mouth …
I can't stop!
How embarrassing … Fortunately, no one else saw it …
However, just as she was thinking about this, a familiar voice suddenly entered her ears.
"Ah, isn't this big brother Fangzheng and big sister Asuna?"
"…"
Asuna looked up and saw Ji Zheng waving at them excitedly not far away. Lifa and Aoba also nodded at the two of them and greeted them.
"You guys are here too?"
Fangzheng put down the tableware in his hand and waved at Youji and the others. Youji was like a puppy that was summoned by its master, trotting all the way to Fangzheng.
"That's right, Big Brother Fangzheng, the food here is very good. It just so happens that we have some money on hand, so we planned to eat something good. What are you guys eating? Look at Sister Asuna! She's eating so happily! "
"Argh …"
Hearing Youji's words, Asuna couldn't wait to dig a hole and bury herself in it. However, Fangzheng didn't think much of it. He just looked at Youji and smiled.
"I just ordered a few dishes … Do you guys want to join us?"
"Okay, okay, it'll be more delicious if we eat together!"
Ji had a naive and pure personality. When she heard Fangzheng's suggestion, she immediately nodded in excitement. If she were to be compared to a puppy, one could probably see her tail wagging rapidly behind her.
But for some unknown reason, Asuna felt a little … uncomfortable deep down in her heart. Although she couldn't describe it with words, Asuna didn't want Youji and the others to join them. Of course, it wasn't that she had a problem with Youji and the others, but …
"Ah, it's fine, Mr. Fangzheng."
Compared to the innocent Youji, Aoba was much better at reading the atmosphere. At this moment, she hurried over and grabbed Youji. Then, she bowed to Fangzheng and Asuna in an embarrassed manner.
"Sorry for disturbing the two of you … I'm really sorry …"
As he spoke, Qing Ye pulled Youji away. Youji could even hear Youji grumbling, "Eh? Why can't we eat together? "…
"Ah …"
Seeing Aoki pulling Youji away, Asuna opened her mouth, wanting to say something. She was worried that Aoba thought that she was on a date with Fangzheng and left. But at the same time, she wasn't willing to let the three of them join them. Asuna didn't know why. Previously, when she was shopping with Fangzheng, she was still angry at him. But now, she felt more familiar with this feeling …
At this thought, Asuna suddenly changed her mind.
Shouldn't I dress up before coming out today? Alright … This is a game and there aren't any cosmetics for sale … But I didn't behave well earlier. Will Mr. Fangzheng be unhappy? Will he think that I'm petty?
For some unknown reason, Asuna wasn't happy that Fangzheng dragged her out. But now, she was worried that her previous actions would upset Fangzheng …
It could only be said that a young lady's heart was really complicated.
Fangzheng didn't care about Asuna's thoughts. He pondered about the game settings and how to carry out experiments. At the same time, he finished his steak, dessert, and a glass of juice. Got to say, this virtual world was really well done. If it weren't for that brainless Akihiko Kayaba who trapped so many people in the game, this would have been a really enjoyable trip to another world.
But then again, if it weren't for that brainless Akihiko, Fangzheng wouldn't have come to this world in the first place.
After dinner, Fangzheng brought Asuna back to their encampment.
Of course, although it was called an encampment, it was actually just a hotel that Fangzheng had rented. After all, their guild level was only Level 1 and they needed to reach Level 3 before they could apply for and purchase an official encampment. Before that, Fangzheng could only be like other guilds and purchase or rent a house as their encampment.
"Alright then, I still have something to do. You should go back to your room and have a good rest after dinner."
In front of the door, Fangzheng smiled at Asuna and said.
"If you don't know what to do, you can also learn how to cook. Delicious food can indeed relax one's mind. Besides, I saw how much you enjoyed your meal today. It's also a good way to relax by cooking for yourself when you have nothing to do. "
"Hmm …"
Asuna blushed upon hearing Fangzheng's words. Then, she lowered her head and nodded gently. Earlier during dinner, Fangzheng didn't say anything and she thought that Fangzheng didn't notice it. She didn't expect that he had noticed it and just didn't mention it …
"Alright then, I'll head back first."
After saying that, Fangzheng pushed open the door and was about to return to his room. But at this moment, for some reason, Asuna suddenly raised her head and took a step forward, shouting at him.
"Mr. Fangzheng!"
"Hmm? What's the matter? "
Fangzheng turned around and gazed at Fangzheng. For a moment, Asuna didn't know what to say. She wanted to say that she would go out with Fangzheng again next time, but before the words left her mouth, she reacted. Isn't this a date?!
She had never gone on a date with a young man before!
"No, this …"
Asuna blushed at this thought. She looked around and bit her lower lip embarrassedly.
"I wanted to say … Thank you …"
"You're welcome."
After saying that, Fangzheng nodded at Asuna with a smile and walked into the room. Asuna gazed at the closed door and pondered for a moment. Then, she let out a sigh.
… I might as well … practice my cooking skills when I get back.
