The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Rebellious to the Bone

Xue Can exerted a great deal of willpower to suppress the urge to get rid of Lei Li.

Lei Li wasn’t the type to play by the rules. The more you told her not to do something, the more she wanted to do it.

Utterly rebellious.

Xue Can didn’t want to get into a huge fight with Lei Li in front of Shen Lu. He figured he’d just get through the meal for now and explain everything to Shen Lu in private later.

Seeing Xue Can’s foul expression, Lei Li felt a surge of satisfaction.

She finally let go of Shen Lu and picked up her chopsticks.

As soon as she took a bite, she immediately sensed the secret within the dishes.

’This food can actually soothe the Spiritual Sea!’

It wasn’t just one dish; every single one, including the rice, had this effect.

Lei Li shot a quick glance at Shen Lu as a million thoughts raced through her mind.

’For example, why do these dishes have the ability to soothe the Spiritual Sea?’

’Is it the ingredients?’

’Where did the ingredients come from?’

Lei Li’s first thought wasn’t of Shen Lu. She had eaten at the restaurant during the day, and the lunch specials didn’t have this effect.

She took a look and figured Xue Can must have brought them.

Xue Can was very capable and resourceful. He seemed a bit sullen, but he had some good connections in other survival bases.

’So he brought them back from his last mission?’

’Maybe he can’t cook, so he just gave them to Shen Lu to prepare?’

’That seems to add up, right?’

Shen Lu was an ordinary person, so she probably wouldn’t understand the true value of these ingredients. He wouldn’t have to worry about her figuring anything out.

But the more she thought about it, the more Lei Li felt that something wasn’t quite right.

Shen Lu ate a few bites and put down her chopsticks. "Pardon me, but my fiancé hasn’t eaten yet. I’ll have to be going now. Please, take your time."

She considered herself a perceptive person. ’A young couple is trying to have a meal. What am I doing just standing here?’

And so, Fu Cheng once again became her perfect excuse for a graceful exit.

This time, Lei Li didn’t try to keep her. Hearing Shen Lu admit with her own mouth that she had a fiancé put her in an excellent mood.

She was almost certain now that there was nothing improper going on between Xue Can and Shen Lu.

Xue Can wasn’t a saint by any means, but he wouldn’t stoop so low as to pester an engaged woman.

Shen Lu successfully excused herself and carried a tray of food up to the second floor.

The moment she saw Fu Cheng, she couldn’t help but start gossiping.

"Xue Can has a gorgeous girlfriend!"

Fu Cheng adjusted the head of the bed himself and let out a soft "Hm?" with a rising, questioning inflection.

He had given her the exact response she’d been hoping for, which only made Shen Lu more eager to chat.

"I saw her during the day, she’s really so beautiful! She’s tall with a gorgeous face. She must be a Superpower User. She and Xue Can make a great match."

Shen Lu placed the tray on the small overbed table. "She seems to have a very lively, proactive personality. The perfect complement to Xue Can."

Fu Cheng stared at Shen Lu in silence.

He had "seen" the Female Superpower User downstairs with his consciousness.

’Beautiful?’

’I don’t think so.’

In his eyes, Shen Lu was the most beautiful, unique, and only one who mattered.

He desperately wanted to tell her what he was thinking.

But he was afraid that if he did, Shen Lu would find it offensive.

As Shen Lu chatted on, she got a little carried away and suddenly blurted out, "Did you ever have a girlfriend back in school?"

Fu Cheng: ?
