Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle

On that day, Zang Liang left work feeling both shocked and a bit overwhelmed.

Zheng Siyuan left work in shock and deep thought.

Tan Wei'an was shocked... well, actually, he wasn't that shocked anymore; he left work carrying Crab Roe Noodles.

Qin Huai was so calm that it seemed pretentious, although he was indeed not that calm; he left work calmly yet shocked.

Almost as soon as he left Yunzhong Restaurant, Qin Huai glanced back to ensure Zheng Siyuan and the others were not in his sight, and no one could see the expression on his face. Without hesitation, he immediately took out his phone and opened the group chat of [Loving Family].

Qin Huai: I really feel like I'm the protagonist from a system novel now.

Qin Huai: Guys, it's ridiculous. I'm actually talented at thickening.

Qin Huai: My talent is so overwhelming, even I'm scared.

Confronted with Qin Huai's shock, Luo Jun replied coolly and disdainfully:

so?

Chen Huihong saw there was drama to be had and immediately started a group call.

"Chen Huihong, what's wrong with you? Is your community office too idle lately or what? You just waste time on video calls every day, don't you know I have things to do? I haven't finished watching my drama yet. Xiao Zhang, go buy some green plants!"

"Okay, Mr. Luo." Zhang Shumei's cheerful voice came from the phone, and Qin Huai could imagine Zhang Shumei happily carrying her bag out to slack off.

Chen Huihong didn't pay Luo Jun any attention and, seeing Qin Huai join the call, eagerly asked, "Xiao Qin, what do you mean you're very talented? What thickening? What's thickening? How are you talented?"

Qin Huai: ...

Sister Hong, your cooking skills really don't disappoint.

Qin Huai briefly recounted what happened in the afternoon, during which Qu Jing also joined the chat. Qin Huai focused on the differences in thickening techniques, lest the three spirits couldn't understand the difficulty of thickening.

Of course, many things Qin Huai directly repeated Zang Liang's words from the afternoon because, until this afternoon, Qin Huai actually didn't know where the difficulty lay.

After listening, Chen Huihong showed no significant reaction, only pretended to nod in sudden realization, though clearly acting wasn't her strong suit and she wasn't convincing enough.

"Oh~"

Chen Huihong's tone of sudden realization wasn't convincing either.

"So Xiao Qin, are you saying that the Double Crab Bun is about to be ready? Yunzhong Restaurant will no longer sell Crab Roe Noodles, and we won't be able to eat them anymore; they'll only sell the bun from now on."

"Luo Jun, did you hear that? Soon, you won't be able to eat Crab Roe Noodles anymore. You love Crab Roe Noodles, don't you? I've been inviting you to the restaurant to eat noodles these afternoons, but you never come. Is that new spy drama really that good? Didn't you only watch fantasy before?"

"It doesn't take much time to go out. You haven't got many years left to live, why not go out more often before you reincarnate? Once you're reborn, you'll have to start as a kid, at that time you won't get to do whatever you want."

Qu Jing, hearing what Chen Huihong said, quickly agreed: "Yes, Mr. Luo, if you can go out, you really should do so more often. It'll be good for you to breathe fresh air and get some sunlight."

"And if you could come to our hospital to complete the remaining therapy, it'd be even better. Today, Dr. Zhou from the rehab department asked when you'll be coming; you haven't been here once this month."

"Therapy is a process that requires persistence; you can't stop just because you wanted me to awaken or to get Qin Huai to network with me and came for therapy. Now that I'm awake, you're not coming anymore. If that's the case, I wish I had awakened later."

Facing the bombardment from Chen Huihong and Qu Jing, Luo Jun just laughed coldly: "Hmph, awaken later. Let Qin Huai network with you when you're dead and buried under two feet of grass. I'm not the one here who will reincarnate first; there's another bird."

Qin Huai: ...

What kind of shock has Luo Jun experienced recently?

Although he used to be a spitfire, he's even worse now, insulting himself too. Plus, he likes to sneer coldly while also sneering jokingly. Has he been secretly watching CEO romance dramas besides spy dramas recently?

Switched tastes.

Fearing he won't be able to enjoy dramas thoroughly after reincarnation, is he watching all kinds of shows now?

Thinking of this, Qin Huai suddenly felt a bit guilty because he's been busy making snacks lately and hadn't made time to see Luo Jun; the group hadn't gathered for a tea party in a long time either.

Of course, Qin Huai's house isn't lacking fruits. Even if they don't have tea parties, Chen Huihong will regularly visit Luo Jun's house and bring Qin Huai and Qu Jing's share along, delivering it to them.

Qin Huai asked with some concern, "Mr. Luo, is your health okay lately? Has something gone wrong? If there is really an issue, it's better to go to the hospital for a checkup; don't let illness go unchecked. Even if you're eager to reincarnate, there's no need to rush."

"What Sister Hong just said is right; if you reincarnate, you won't be able to watch TV for at least a year or two."

Luo Jun: ...

Luo Jun was very thankful that he sent Zhang Shumei out for a walk, because now he really wanted to blow up these three people through the phone with a fiery rant.

Luo Jun, angrily ranting: "Qin Huai, have you also been infected with Chen Huihong's brain problem?"

"Don't think your snacks are so tasty that I won't scold you. You think you're a system novel protagonist; have you read those novels? How many system novel protagonists are like you?"
