Cui Yingying's father was working overtime as usual, so she only needed to prepare dinner for herself and Mo Li.
Cui Yingying did not go to the nearby Costco supermarket with Mo Li because she was very concerned about that plate of blue light. Instead, she bought two lunches from a 24-hour convenience store on her way home from school.
"What's the matter, Mo Li?"
After Cui Yingying paid, she found Mo Li staring at the transparent crisper beside the counter.
"What … is that?"
The little girl pressed her finger against her lips and tilted her ahoge as she asked.
Cui Yingying followed her line of sight and found that she was looking at the roasted sweet potato in the crisper.
"That's right, it's already autumn," she couldn't help but ask Mo Li curiously, "Mo Li, have you never seen a sweet potato before?"
"Sweet potato?" The little girl thought for a moment, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.
As expected, things like sweet potatoes should be quite common …
"A distant relative of landmines?"
"That's not right! You obviously know about landmines, but you don't know about sweet potatoes? "
"That's the monster desiwa that can fight evenly with Bechymos!"
"What's that! And that idiom is enough! "
"Could it be the holy fruit that gives you unlimited magic power after eating it?"
"Who is it! Who the hell instilled in you this kind of cliché that few readers can understand?! "
It seemed that Mo Li really didn't know about sweet potatoes. Cui Yingying confirmed in her mind: Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that he was taught some strange knowledge by someone.
"Could it be …" Mo Li swallowed his saliva, "This is very delicious?"
"Hmm, if you have to choose between delicious and not delicious, it should be considered delicious."
Cui Yingying didn't have any special fondness for roasted sweet potatoes. They belonged to the type that she would only eat on a whim. However, according to her taste that was no different from that of normal women, the sweet and soft roasted sweet potato could indeed be classified as delicious.
"…"
Jasmine turned her head and stared at Cui Yingying with pitiful puppy-like eyes that were filled with pleading, causing the latter to feel a ton of guilt.
"Alright, alright, I'll buy it for you, so don't look at me like that!"
Cui Yingying, who was soft-hearted to begin with, quickly compromised.
“year~~~”
Mo Li cheered in her distinctive, soft, emotionless voice.
"Hah … Mo Li's influence is making me want to try it out."
In the end, Cui Yingying, who paid for two roasted sweet potatoes again, couldn't help but sigh. The cashier's gentle expression as if she was looking at a pair of close sisters acting coquettishly made her lose the mood to even explain.
"What should I do with so many extra calories …"
"Oh, oh, oh. So bad!"
Mo Li, who was standing at the side, clearly wasn't afraid of calories. Instead, he exclaimed about the roasted sweet potatoes with an attitude as if he had discovered a new continent. However, because his mouth was stuffed with food, his speech was slurred.
Cui Yingying peeled off the aluminum foil and pried open the perfectly roasted sweet potato, revealing the tender yellow and fragrant contents.
Because she was afraid of the heat, she only carefully took a bite. Then, she couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "Although it's indeed very delicious … because it's very hot, Jasmine, you have to be careful when you eat."
In the end, when she turned her head, she found that Mo Li's hands had nothing left.
Including the skin of the sweet potato and the aluminum foil.
"Mo Li, don't tell me you even ate the skin and the aluminum foil? You can't eat those two! "
Mo Li, who was licking his fingers, froze for a moment, then pretended to be serious and replied, "The flavor is very unique, I suggest you try it."
"No way! Humans can't digest that kind of thing! "
Cui Yingying couldn't help but ridicule, "By the way, Mo Li, are you really okay? Do you need me to contact Sakura Apartments' landlord? "
"It's fine." Mo Li didn't mind at all, "Compared to the Dragon Slaying Sword, this is much easier to digest. Just say it. "
"…"
At this moment, Cui Yingying felt that if she continued to pay attention to Mo Li's previous recipes, her sanity might start to decrease.
For the sake of her mental health, she decided to pretend that she didn't hear what he said just now.

After eating their lunch, what came next was the main business of the day.
Mo Li sat on Cui Yingying's bed and curiously stared at the TV.
Cui Yingying took out the CD from the CD case and put it into the DVD player that was said to be able to read Blu-ray discs.
After a moment, the TV with the signal set up appeared on the TV screen.
[Amazing, XX Lord's zero can actually do something like this, no! It's going to break, my zero is going to break!]
"…"
"…"
It looked like Ivy's.
Cui Yingying's face turned red as she used her remaining willpower to pick up the remote control and sped it up at 32 times the normal speed.
After a few minutes.
[Ass we can't! Patrice go!]
"…"
"…"
This time it looked like calcium tablets.
"How is this a curse! That guy was definitely tricked by those bastard boys! "
Cui Yingying's entire body felt unwell because she saw a rather unsightly scene.
Mo Li continued to use pure and curious eyes to look at the two brawny men wrestling on the screen.
"Ugh, I feel like I've been defiled … Mo Li, don't look anymore …"
Cui Yingying let out a long sigh and picked up the remote control to turn off the device, "That's right, how can there be so many incredible things in this world …"
But before she could press the button, the image on the TV screen began to change.
First, the image began to flicker strangely, then large patches of snowflakes began to appear on the screen. It was like an old TV with bad reception during the CRT era.
The startled Cui Yingying subconsciously pressed the standby button on the remote control.
But the image was still in a state of bad reception. Not only did the CD player in the TV cabinet not go into hibernation mode, but it also vibrated slightly and made a strange sound. It was probably the feeling of some kind of liquid boiling in the DVD player's casing.
Then, the distorted image became even stranger, it even seemed like blood was seeping out from the screen. Gradually, the entire image was filled with an uncomfortable bright red. Accompanying this strange change was a hair-raising ear-piercing sound effect from the TV speakers …
"This, what's going on?" Cui Yingying who was not mentally prepared was stunned.
Jasmine, who had been indifferent until now, finally raised her small face as if she had sensed something. Her small and delicate nose twitched for a moment, and then she furrowed her brows in an imperceptible manner.
"Strange smell."
