Ellie was a little confused, while Maria crossed her arms in front of her chest, as if to say, "I knew it."
"It seems that Chinese food is usually covered. According to Chinese cuisine, this is to prevent the heat, aroma, and other elements from escaping, and to maintain the best possible condition."
Chapter 683 Maria: I love you the most
Maria's explanation at this moment made Ellie suddenly realize, "Oh, I see."
Lin Qi watched the interaction between the two seniors, and at that moment, he smiled mysteriously.
"That's part of the reason, but of course there are more important reasons as well."
Lin Qi didn't directly state the reason at this point, instead seeming to keep the audience in suspense.
Hearing this and seeing the mysterious smile on Lin Qi's face, the two sisters were truly intrigued, both wanting to know what other special reason was behind it.
"Is there some special reason, Lin Qijun? Don't keep me in suspense."
Maria was also filled with curiosity at this point, and felt that keeping things a secret was not a good idea.
"Alright, alright. Stop bragging. Open your eyes wide and watch carefully, and don't blink. I'm going to show you something amazing."
After Lin Qi finished speaking, the two sisters couldn't help but widen their eyes slightly, wanting to see what kind of magical thing it was and how magical it was. After all, since he had said so, something magical was bound to happen.
Otherwise, why bother saying such things?
The two sisters couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation, wanting to see what would happen.
Immediately at that moment, Lin Qi had a wicked idea and opened all the lids at the same time with incredible speed.
Instantly, five beams of light shot up from the plate, illuminating the entire living room. Because the two people believed someone's lies and their eyes were wide open, they were hit by a flash of light, almost blinding them.
"Ah!"x2
At that moment, the two sisters screamed at the same time. After all, it's normal for an ordinary person to scream after being hit by a flashbang for no reason, right?
Lin Qi found it quite amusing to see the two sisters' expressions as they covered their faces with their hands and then screamed.
Lin Qi said that all his efforts to hide were worthwhile, just to see this person's expressions at this moment. It can be said that he was really indulging in his wicked humor at this moment.
After the light disappeared, Maria and Ellie stared blankly at the dishes in front of them. Then, a fragrant aroma wafted out. The aroma emanating from the four dishes and soup seemed to beckon them with outstretched fingers, enticing them to eat the food.
Both of them had an urge to grab the food with their hands, but they managed to calm themselves down.
"Fish-flavored shredded pork, Mapo tofu, braised lion's head meatballs, steamed loofah, and fish head tofu soup."
"Exactly four dishes and one soup."
At this point, Lin Qi began to introduce the two of them.
"Chinese food."
Maria didn't ask how the lights appeared. She simply pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at the delicious-smelling food in front of her. She really wanted to eat it. The other one did the same. She didn't ask anything either, just stared straight at the food in front of her. A voice in her mind told her to eat everything, to eat everything. Although she felt that having this thought was not good, she still had it.
"What are you still looking at? Hurry up and eat, it's getting cold and won't taste good anymore."
"I'm starting!" x2
We shouted this out happily, and then couldn't wait to pick up our chopsticks. We both picked up a hot lion's head meatball in perfect unison, took a bite, and the sauce inside burst out.
Instantly, the two of them seemed to feel such an impact, and the aroma inside also burst out, like a huge bomb, the lion's head turned into a bomb.
And then a golden light burst forth, and the golden light flowed out—it was curry. However, the two sisters were already immersed in the delicious food, and when they came out and saw the curry, they finally realized what it was.
"Curry...curry!"
At this moment, Ellie spoke in an incredulous tone, her voice trembling, because she never expected that there would be curry in it.
After finishing the huge lion's head meatball, the two of them unanimously cooked a spoonful of tofu.
"so spicy!"
The two of them instantly broke out in a sweat, as if they were in a furnace of hell.
But at this moment, the two of them seemed to have transformed into demons from hell, about to sink into it.
The rest of them had similar reactions, and for a moment the two of them ate like crazy. After finishing everything on the table, they leaned back in their chairs with a satisfied look on their faces.
The two of them felt elevated after eating the food; they had never imagined that food could taste so good.
Lin Qi silently watched as he watched as he ate nothing, even though he had shared the food in his hands with the two of them. At the same time, he was a little alarmed. Were these two really that good at eating? He had made a portion that included himself, and it was even the larger portion, yet the two of them had devoured it all.
Lin Qi kept glancing at the man's belly, feeling that the two of them had the potential to become mukbang (eating broadcast) hosts.
At this moment, Lin Qi quietly put the things into the kitchen, cleaned them up, and came out with drinks, placing them in front of the two of them.
“I’m so full~”
"I can't drink anymore."
Maria then spoke in a drawn-out voice.
"Drink this special plum juice with some Chinese medicine added to it. It'll help with digestion. You don't want to keep feeling full and hungry, do you?"
Maria thought about it and realized it made sense. Although she was full and satisfied, it wouldn't do to keep her stomach bloated, so she picked up the plum juice and forced herself to drink it.
Maria's eyes lit up after she finished drinking, and she really wanted to ask for another cup, but as soon as she moved, she felt the food and water in her stomach churning, so she held back and didn't say it.
"No rush, no rush. I've made a lot and put it in the refrigerator. You two can have it anytime you want."
"Qi Jun, you're so thoughtful, I like you the most."
Maria was in a state of bliss at that moment, completely unguarded, and her words came from the bottom of her heart.
Chapter 684 Things Have Changed, But Not Much
"Qi Jun, I like you the most."
Maria spoke the truth behind his back and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After hearing these heartfelt words from the other party, Lin Qi couldn't help but sigh that he was actually a hidden tsundere who preferred to hear things directly.
Ellie finished her drink at this moment and lay down in a different position than she usually was, with a serious and principled demeanor.
"I really like Qi Jun the most."
Ellie, feeling elevated and at peace, echoed the sentiment.
Lin Qi's expression became a little subtle at this moment. Could it be that these sisters were so easy to win over? It was just a meal, and of course, it was also because he had feelings for her. But no matter how high those feelings were, it was useless. After all, they were both tsundere. The reason they were like this now was entirely because of the food he cooked. Once this feeling passed, they would be tsundere again.
At this moment, Lin Qi secretly turned on his phone, pressed the record button, and then asked the two people with a puzzled look on his face.
"What kind of liking do you think I am the most?"
"Of course, it refers to attraction between men and women."
Maria spoke in a gentle tone, even though she was full, and the other person echoed her.
"Yes."
"Would you like to be my bride? You'll get to eat delicious food all the time!"
"I'm willing." x2
At that moment, the two spoke at the same time.
At this point, Lin Qi stopped recording. With this recording, even if he didn't admit it, he could still make fun of that stubborn person who was serious.
About half an hour later, the two finally broke free from that sublime state, or rather, barely. They were both sitting on the sofa, pretending to watch TV, but in reality, they were both absent-minded. After all, they remembered what they had just said and done, and at this moment, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Ellie was still the most embarrassed, looking rather restless, after all, she never expected that she would say such a shameless thing.
Lin Qi himself looked at the two of them with a smile, a smile that made them a little uneasy. In the end, Ellie couldn't stand it anymore and stood up first, saying she was going to take a shower, and just like that, she ran away.
Maria, being the older sister, was naturally bold and unlike her younger sister, she looked at Lin Qi and spoke in a helpless tone.
"Lin Qijun is still the same big bad guy as before."
Upon hearing the other party's words, Lin Qi immediately adopted an attitude of "I'm not responsible."
"Just tell me what's wrong with me? After all, I didn't say anything more than you guys did; you said it yourselves."
At this moment, Lin Qi shamelessly stood up and sat down next to the other person, taking shamelessness to the extreme and choosing to eat.
"You know, I didn't do anything from beginning to end. I just made such delicious food that you relaxed and told me the truth."
Maria's face began to show a slight hint of embarrassment. She knew she had inadvertently spoken the truth, but it all happened too quickly. They had only just met, and it was already like this, even though she kept a picture of him in her room. It was all too fast.
My original plan was to meet again, so we could take things slowly.
Now look what's happened! Someone cut to the chase and asked me what was on my mind. What am I going to do? I'm so panicked.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I'm not an idiot. It's not like I accidentally say what I really think is true."
"After all, there are many, many things to consider in reality."
"It's just that I know an answer that makes me happy."
Maria glanced at Lynch with a hint of surprise.
"Lin Qijun, you've changed. You wouldn't have acted like this before."
Maria was genuinely surprised, thinking the other person would try to take advantage of her, but instead, they said something like that.
Lin Qi shrugged as if it were perfectly natural.
"After all, I'm willing to spend time now. Can things be the same before and now? The most important thing is that I have your heartfelt answer, and that's enough. I have plenty of time."
"And I haven't actually changed. It's just that I'm more willing to be patient and take things slowly... Most of what I say is known in the student council. Compared to before, I'm more decisive and less indifferent."
Maria recalled how forceful and domineering the other party had always been during meetings. Compared to now, she had to admit that she and her sister were among the few who were willing to put in a lot of effort, as it was evident in many ways. This made her a little happy, since the other party's willingness to spend so much time meant that they valued her.
"Lin Qijun, to be honest, I'm very happy that you're willing to take it slow like this."
Maria didn't hide anything; instead, she spoke the truth. After all, the other person's personality—being willing to take things slowly—was already a clear indication of their attitude.
Looking at the other person like this, Lin Qi thought to himself that if he didn't know the situation he was in that he could make the other person truly lower their guard and tell the truth, he might have taken some tough and extreme measures. But after hearing the truth and considering his own situation, he was willing to take it slow, since he had plenty of time.
And this so-called "taking it slow" won't actually take too long. So there's no rush, no need to create psychological trauma.
At this moment, Lin Qi was calculating his own scheme.
"Well, considering that I've made an exception for you, shouldn't you give me a small reward?"
Maria paused for a moment after hearing this, then spoke in a gentle tone, though with a hint of emotion in her voice.
"I take back what I just said. Things have changed, but not much."
Maria knew exactly what the other person wanted. After hesitating for a moment, she thought that since it had happened like this last time, she took the initiative to approach them this time.
