Chapter 128: The Defender’s Troubles

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 After living for twenty-two years, Yu Zhesen personally cooks seriously for the first time in his life.

It wasn't until he actually used the kitchen that he realized how serious it was that Yu Qingxue said there was a problem with the range hood last time.

The kitchen of this house was renovated with a fully enclosed balcony, so when the range hood didn't work, the oil fumes completely accumulated in the small space, making people want to cry.

He must buy a new range hood on the next day off, Yu Zhesen secretly swore in his heart.

He was cutting the washed vegetables with a knife. Yu Qingxue glanced at it and praised: "This is really my first time cooking? This knife skill doesn't look like that of a rookie."

"Talented player." Yu Zhesen explained casually.

Yu Qingxue just thought he was talking nonsense and did not ask further questions.

Of course, this cannot be explained by talent. Yu Zhesen was actually inspired by playing badminton with Chu Yuexi before, so he asked Shi Xin to find himself a decent cooking instructor.

"When frying, the oil should cover the food. When the oil temperature comes up, turn on low heat."

"Put the sauce last, don't rush."

"Try to drain as much water as possible before putting it in the pot..."

Yu Qingxue took the trouble to correct their basic mistakes, and occasionally helped save the food in the pot.

"Miss Yu knows a lot, have you always cooked by yourself?" With her help, Chu Yuexi completed a dish of sweet and sour pork ribs, and her admiration for her arose spontaneously in her heart.

"Yes, I will cook by myself as long as I have time." Yu Qingxue smiled, "Besides, we agreed that you can just call me by my name."

"I always feel that I need to respect you a little bit." Chu Yuexi stuck out her tongue playfully, "Why don't I call you Teacher Yu."

Yu Qingxue waved her hand: "My cooking skills are just like that... If you are interested and willing to study, maybe you will be almost as good as me in half a month."

When she said this, she kept looking at Yu Zhesen on the stove next to him. Yu Zhesen was engrossed in frying a fish-flavored shredded pork dish and didn't pay attention to their conversation at all.

With the help of Shi Xin's cheating mental tutorial, he has gradually gotten better and even played the game naturally.

"Ahem..." Yu Qingxue covered her mouth and turned around, coughing twice.

"Why don't you find a mask and wear it?" Yu Zhesen said casually.

"I didn't... choke on the oil smoke..." Yu Qingxue looked at him with complicated eyes, "If you have cooked by yourself before, just admit it..."

"I learned it in my dream, is it possible?" Yu Zhesen felt as if he had "faked it".

Yu Qingxue's expression was solemn: "When did you enter the nightmare dream again?"

"Ah? You think so? Does that mean that in Nightmare's dream, you can indeed learn skills that can be used in reality?" Yu Zhesen's mind was wide open, "I can do a lot with this... If Nightmare doesn't commit a crime, he can open one

Aren’t Dreamland Educational Institutions going to have to make a lot of money?”

Yu Qingxue and Chu Yuexi were both stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Yu Zhesen's words.

"But... usually dreams you have will be forgotten after you wake up." Chu Yuexi said, "No matter how much you learn in your dreams, isn't it a waste of time if you forget when you wake up?"

Yu Zhesen and Yu Qingxue looked at each other, and they confirmed the same thing from each other's eyes - even though a few days had passed, they both still had a deep impression of Nightmare's dream.

"Can you retain the memory of your dream by actively waking up?" Yu Zhesen boldly made a hypothesis.

"It's possible." Yu Qingxue nodded.

In the past, they had actively chosen to die and escape from the dreams created by Nightmare.

Of course, if you have a more rigorous attitude, you have to do a test before drawing a conclusion, but it would be too dangerous to give up the initiative to escape in a nightmare...

"Wake up on your own initiative?" Chu Yuexi has no dream experience, so she doesn't understand what they are talking about.

"Have you ever been in a situation where you were vaguely aware that you were dreaming?" Yu Qingxue asked.

"I seem to have had... when I was dreaming, I knew I was in a dream, but I just couldn't wake up."

Yu Zhesen said: "It seems that your will is not strong enough."

Chu Yuexi retorted: "It's that kind of beautiful dream! Wouldn't it be better to stay a little longer? Why do you have to wake up?"

"Wouldn't it be easy for you to become the prey of a nightmare?" Yu Zhesen said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Seeing that the two people looked at each other and seemed to be arguing, Yu Qingxue quickly reminded: "The food is going to be burnt."

……

With the cooperation of the three of them, a sumptuous dinner was prepared.

Yu Zhesen is a silent person at the dinner table. When cooking, he only pays attention to efficiency. After all, people only have one mouth, and speaking affects the efficiency of cooking.

He guessed that Yu Qingxue also belonged to the silent group, but Chu Yuexi always spoke to her, and she could only respond slowly out of politeness.

"You're not that eloquent even at home." Yu Zhesen teased.

"Huh? Is there anything wrong with not letting go in front of parents?" Chu Yuexi rolled her eyes at him.

"Be careful of biting your tongue when you talk while eating."

"A little bit... exercise gives me flexible reactions and good coordination!"

"Okay, but if you play badminton like that too much this afternoon, your life may be shortened."

"It's not like you were cheating first! It's too shameful to pause time!"

Yu Qingxue's shoulders trembled when she heard the words "time pause", and she hurriedly put down the hand holding the bowl and covered her mouth.

"Teacher Yu, what's wrong with you?" Chu Yuexi looked at her curiously.

"It's okay... I accidentally bit my mouth..." Yu Qingxue responded in a low voice.

Yu Zhesen was well aware of her reaction and joked: "It turns out that doing two things doesn't end well."

After Yu Qingxue recovered, she stopped eating. She sighed and said seriously: "You should have a correct understanding of your situation and don't use your powers in strange places."

"In addition, if you don't want to reveal the secret of your multiple powers, you should keep a low profile."

Yu Zhesen and Chu Yuexi both suppressed their smiles. Yu Qingxue spoke in a serious tone, not suitable for laughing and joking.

"That...the last sentence...I can understand that you are willing to help me pass this investigation and review?" Yu Zhesen asked cautiously.

"I never planned to do anything to you from the beginning." Yu Qingxue was helpless.

"But when we met at the management office that day, you were obviously very...strong? Arrogant?" Yu Zhesen was looking for a suitable adjective.

"Please, even a private defense lawyer will ask his employer to confess his crime before defending." Yu Qingxue closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose, "I must at least know your true situation so that I can give you the corresponding information.

Can you make the report acceptable to the superiors?"

"Oh..."

"Death prediction, active prediction, time suspension, and steel burning that I haven't seen with my own eyes yet." She showed a tired look, "Just these abilities are concentrated in one person. If you report it truthfully, someone will probably be there.

I can’t sit still... God knows how many secrets you are hiding from me."
