Chapter 398: Chapter 258: Magicians Are a Bunch of Incredibly Lazy People
"Hey, mister, why have you come here again?" He Luo looked at Destiny with a puzzled face. This guy with the white mask had been coming around frequently lately, and she had no idea what he was thinking.
"I..." Destiny found himself at a loss for words. He certainly couldn’t say he wanted to marry her, right? That would be too rash and didn’t fit his persona at all.
"What exactly do you want?" He Luo leaned in closer, and Destiny could even smell her scent.
It was the scent of wheat, with the aroma of wheat ears. Destiny was very familiar with this fragrance, as he had often helped with the farm work at home in the past.
"The smell of malt..." Destiny muttered quietly to himself.
His voice was so soft that an ordinary person wouldn’t have been able to hear it, but He Luo did. She jumped back and then looked at Destiny as if he were some kind of pervert.
"That! I... I didn’t mean to!" Destiny hurriedly explained, knowing that smelling someone else’s scent, especially the scent of the opposite sex, was not a very nice thing to do and could even be considered a bit perverse.
"Mr. Destiny, I think we should keep our distance," He Luo said politely.
"So you’ve come to me again?" Flemea said with a look of speechlessness. She felt like her job had shifted from a world-destroying dragon to a confidante overnight.
This isn’t the right script!
"I can’t go on, I feel like I’m completely broken," Destiny lay on the table, his face the picture of despair.
"Sigh, Flemea, give me a strong drink," the table shook slightly as Reinhardt sat down too, with a gloomy face.
"What, are you all having a collective mood today?" Flemea was even more speechless. This knight, with his overflowing sense of justice, wasn’t he always doing good deeds? Why was he in a bad mood today?
"I gave some coins to a few homeless kids, but they complained that I didn’t give them enough. Is that my fault?" Reinhardt said, visibly upset.
If a hooligan had said that, Reinhardt wouldn’t have hesitated to punch him, but looking at those frail children, he was reminded of his own daughter, and he just couldn’t bring himself to do it.
"How about we go to the manager’s restaurant tomorrow, eat something, drink some, and cheer up?" Flemea looked at her two dejected companions and asked hesitantly.
"Manager? Thunderbrew Lager? Great!" Reinhardt slapped the table excitedly, to which Flemea responded with a death glare.
"Sure... It’s about time I found a place to die," Destiny agreed as well.
"Hey, hey, hey, cut it out," Flemea was somewhat at a loss for words. She had thought these two were aloof powerhouses when they joined the Church, but after getting to know them, they turned out to be complete goofballs.
The next morning, Chen Ze got up early and smiled as he looked at Lafra, who was still sleeping beside him.
Of course, last night...
Nothing happened. Chen Ze made Lafra a meal of dry stir-fried mushrooms with ham, then they watched TV together, played some Mario Kart, and just went to sleep like that.
Although Chen Ze felt Lafra probably wouldn’t mind getting a bit closer to him, what if? Just what if?
Chen Ze didn’t dare to gamble on that ’what if’. He had heard that during the dating period, many girls dislike men who are too eager, yet if a man is never eager, that might also be a turn-off. So this was indeed a dilemma.
Chen Ze yawned, climbed out of bed, freshened up, and went downstairs, planning to make breakfast for Lafra.
The variety of breakfast dishes in Huaxia was countless; even if he made a different one every day, he could go a long time without repeating any. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"How about making a bowl of Dan Dan noodles?" Chen Ze stretched and thought it was a good idea.
"Dear... you’re up so early." Lafra said, yawning, as she came down from the second floor in her slippers.
Chen Ze watched the especially beautiful Lafra with a happy smile. This was his girlfriend, after all.
"I’m going to buy some things. Wait for me at home; I’ll be back to make breakfast for you," Chen Ze said, as he playfully ruffled Lafra’s hair before heading out the small door.
Dan dan noodles are a traditional Huaxia breakfast dish, a specialty of Sichuan and a very delicious one at that.
However, it’s best to buy noodles especially made for dan dan noodles. Though he could make his own noodles, with them readily available for purchase, Chen Ze didn’t bother to do so.
"And buy some Yibin sprouts." These were another important ingredient for the dan dan noodles.
After purchasing the necessary ingredients, Chen Ze returned to the restaurant, pushed open the door, and saw Lafra sleeping on the dining table.
Chen Ze walked over slowly; Lafra was sleeping soundly.
He didn’t wake her but went straight to the kitchen and began preparing the dan dan noodles.
There are many ways to make dan dan noodles, and Chen Ze hadn’t found the authentic method from Sichuan, so he just chose the most popular recipe to follow.
First, he made the "hat," which is the meat filling. Chen Ze was used to calling the meat put in noodles or rice noodles the "hat."
Next, it was time to simmer the chicken soup and prepare the red oil sauce. Once the hat, chicken soup, and red oil sauce were ready, he started boiling the noodles.
"Dear, is there anything I can help with?" Lafra asked, walking over, her eyes still half-closed as she looked at Chen Ze.
"No need," Chen Ze glanced at Lafra and almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Lafra had brought down the Totoro stuffed animal from the bedroom on the second floor, which was about half the size of Lafra herself.
"Mmm... then I’ll go freshen up," Lafra nodded and headed back upstairs in her pink bunny slippers.
Chen Ze touched his ears, feeling that Lafra was becoming more and more like an Earthling, whether in her clothing or in her actions and mannerisms.
By the time Lafra had freshened up, Chen Ze’s dan dan noodles were ready, and then they both enjoyed the meal that the System had rated as excellent.
"Phew~ I’m full~" Lafra patted her stomach, waved her hand, and Chen Ze watched as all the dishes and chopsticks automatically floated into the kitchen and got cleaned.
"Huh?" Chen Ze was stunned. What was that about?
"Magic assistant, dear. It can help magicians with some domestic chores," Lafra explained that most magicians were too disinterested to deal with housework.
And Lafra never even washed a dish herself; in the castle, there were maids to take care of such things for her.
"I see..." Chen Ze nodded.
"Do you want me to enchant one for you? It would make washing dishes and attending to guests very convenient," Lafra added.
"No need," Chen Ze smiled. It would be quite awkward for Betty.
This waitress, although far from perfect, was a longstanding employee, after all.
