Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1784: Chapter 1764:

”Uh, so, you want me to ’bless’ it?” Di Jun gnawed on roasted fish, completely relaxed: ”Sure, no problem, just let me finish eating.”

He Wenyu was speechless: ”How long has it been since you last ate? How much have you eaten already? Aren’t you feeling stuffed?”

Not that she was one to talk; she had seen people who could eat a lot, at least Luo Qianqian’s appetite in the past was nothing to scoff at. But these two, starting with roasted chicken, even when not fully cooked, and barely spat out any bones.

In her mind, only those who are absolutely starving and cannot tell the difference between bone and meat would do such things, right?

Most importantly, after the roasted chicken, they grabbed a pile of fish and started grilling fish again.

While waiting for the fish, they didn’t spare the noodles Luo Qianqian cooked either...

The old man who was eating along with them was almost disapproving...

”By the way, where’s Fu Qing? Why is my senior brother not here?” He Wenyu had been with the old man lately, so she hadn’t paid much attention to other matters. Now that she’s back but couldn’t see the person who should be in the yard, she was a bit worried.

”No worries, he’ll come once he smells the food.” The old man was unfazed, not intending to go looking for anyone.

On the contrary, Long Tu glanced at the old man.

Not everyone is like Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu; Fu Qing is noted in the Book Pavilion.

Pavilion Master of the Book Pavilion, Associate Dean, Fu Qing.

So, the so-called senior brother, was clearly just an excuse, but looking at the interaction between these people, it was evident there was no other reason; perhaps, like Di Jun, it was purely for the food; beyond this, he couldn’t think of any other reason.

Judging from the bottle of Erguotou on the table, one could deduce a thing or two.

The special ’talent’ that He Wenyu was noticed for was clearly her great cooking skills.

After eating and drinking to their heart’s content, Di Jun didn’t stall, and handled Luo Qianqian’s request neatly, even adding some magical assistance.

His attributes sounded fancy like a Heavenly God’s blessing, but in reality, there was no real harm.

Thus, in the Heaven Class, it wouldn’t cause much stir, but in the Yellow Class, it became his shining spot.

Now, whenever there was anything in the class, they’d ask for his and Long Tu’s opinions.

After all, one was the spear of the Yellow Class, with great destructive power, and the other was the shield of the Yellow Class; so long as he was around, there wouldn’t be any life-threatening danger.

Of course, external injuries and internal injuries can heal, but poison cannot be suppressed, and his real weak point lies in resisting the corrosive power of Darkness, which he can only delay, but not counter.

”Shiliu, can you teach me some skills? I can’t eat anything else, and your Forget Worries Tea House is on reservations; I often can’t even get a spot...” Di Jun was thoroughly troubled; he genuinely couldn’t eat things made by others anymore.

But the old man seemed unbothered, after all... he was with He Wenyu, so there never existed a time when he needed to eat anything else.

”...Have you ever thought about buddying up with the eldest brother?” He Wenyu was incredibly skeptical; how was it possible that these two were worrying about not getting a reservation?

Di Jun stared at He Wenyu: ”Even if we buddy up, it’s limited! Not even one more portion!”

His face was full of resentment, and he figured even if Ji Lei didn’t, the same would happen too, sold out already, wouldn’t it?

”But you don’t necessarily have to eat what’s sold... you can ask for something random; I’ve seen my Fourth Brother always making plenty.” Luo Qianqian also found it odd: ”Besides, you think I let you mingle at Forget Worries Tea House just for fun? On one hand, you can protect them a bit, on the other, you can get something to eat.”

Di Jun’s cheek twitched, he opened his mouth wide looking at the two people, and then he furiously poked the hairpin he used to curry favor with He Wenyu to teach a dish into He Wenyu’s head, and stomped his foot: ”Why didn’t you say earlier?!”

If they knew, would they have suffered for a month...

”I’ll ask my brother for a card later, and it’ll be known outside that you’re super members, with VIP room treatment.” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes: ”But don’t go there too often; if my Fourth Brother gets jealous because of your looks, you’ll never be able to go back again.” After all... even Qin Nuan could occasionally be lovestruck.

Di Jun looked utterly crushed, can’t go often?

”But you still have to teach me! Otherwise, won’t I starve to death?” Di Jun grabbed He Wenyu’s hand, face full of sincerity: ”Why don’t I just marry you? I feel like I can’t live without you in my life. Although your conditions are a bit lacking, and you aren’t really...”

He Wenyu listened to Di Jun’s criticism, smiling as she looked up with pursed lips: ”Scram.”

”No, I’m serious, I can give you everything you want...”

He Wenyu withdrew her hand, not forgetting to take out a handkerchief to wipe it: ”Scram.”

Di Jun looked perplexed at He Wenyu: ”Why? Am I ugly?”

”Not bad, not to the point of being disliked.” He Wenyu earnestly said.

”Then it’s because I can’t protect you? But my family...”

”I didn’t find it bothersome, just no feelings for you, love needs mutual attraction. Do you feel your heartbeat quicken when you hold my hand?” He Wenyu had to admit she did... but! It was because she was scared.

Di Jun confusedly shook his head: ”Matching families and mutual willingness, isn’t that enough? As for love... we can talk about it after marriage. Besides, I certainly can’t leave you now, I would only love you in my lifetime.”

Luo Qianqian watched aside, feeling strange, although it was a confession, it was too half-hearted, wasn’t it? Do you even know what you’re saying, young man?

Such words could be vetoed by a majority vote...

”You love the food, not me, you could purchase a Forget Worries Tea House lifetime membership; wherever there’s a Forget Worries Tea House, you wouldn’t need to wait in line to eat.” He Wenyu’s smile was a bit awkward.

Oh my, she’s being confessed to, though the confession is half-hearted... but ultimately it’s a confession, yet what is she doing? She’s advertising! Advertising! Advertising!

Luo Qianqian would definitely tease her for this, absolutely.

He Wenyu sighed lightly: ”Moreover, I don’t think you would be the partner I aspire to; to cook food for someone you don’t like, it wouldn’t taste good. You see, if you marry me, we wouldn’t be friends anymore; if I’m unhappy, I could strike, and whether you get to eat depends on my mood, and it’s possible my mood is fine but I’m too lazy to cook.”

Luo Qianqian was dumbstruck; such rejections were only witnessed but never before.

Strike...

He Wenyu felt twisted inside; what on earth was she even saying?

Di Jun was absolutely stunned, not knowing how to respond with confusion facing He Wenyu.
