Chapter 57 - Lu Lixing, a single dog for 30 years, totally fails at understanding double meanings (2)

"I want to drink that soup. Can you fill a bowl for me?"

Lu Lixing's brow deeply furrowed. With his gaze, he indicated that she was going to far in her acting.

Ji Qingqing twitched her lips. If he didn't want to get her soup, then don't. Was there any need in looking at her so fiercely?

-- "Imminent death warning: within the next five minutes, please feed your wife, Ji Qingqing, at least three spoonfuls of soup. If you fail or give up on this task, you'll be deducted five points."

Lu Lixing was stunned. It took him a long time to recover. "You..."

-- "Host, you're not allowed to curse at the system!"

"You f*cking system, you can deduct points too? When did the rules change?"

-- "Host, you've only known me for three days. The time we’ve known each other has been too short. I feel really sorry that there wasn’t enough time to explain all of the rules to you immediately."

Lu Lixing's face was gloomy. He didn't say a single word.

-- However, there is a reward for completing this task. Five points will be added to your life. Host, you have three minutes remaining."

Ji Qingqing stood up and ladled out a bowl of soup for herself. Before she could sit down, Lu Lixing took her bowl of soup.

Ji Qingqing doubtfully looked at Lu Lixing. He was holding a bowl of soup in one hand and a spoon in his other hand. What was he doing?

Aunty Pei came downstairs. "Young Master, I finished moving things around for you. Young Madam, you can start sleeping in Young Master's room tonight."

"Thank you, Aunty Pei."

"You're welcome."

Elder Lu looked at Aunty Pei. He smiled and said, "Sit down with us. You're probably tired from being busy all day."

Aunty Pei had been working for the Lu's for many years, so Elder Lu didn't treated her like an outsider.

Aunty Pei agreed and sat down across from Lu Lixing.

And so, all three people looked at Lu Lixing, who was holding up a spoon.

"Young Master, what's wrong? Do you not like the food that Aunty Pei made today?"

Lu Lixing gritted out a smile. "No."

-- "Last two minutes."

Lu Lixing took a deep breath. He scooped up a spoonful of soup and brought it to Ji Qingqing's mouth. "Open."

Startled, Ji Qingqing questioningly looked at him. Isn't this over-the-top?

Lu Lixing insisted, "Open."

Ji Qingqing swallowed down her annoyance. Under Elder Lu and Aunty Pei's astonished, but happy gazes, she slowly opened her mouth.

Lu Lixing not very gently fed Ji Qingqing a spoonful of soup.

Right after she swallowed the soup, Lu Lixing started to bring over another spoonful of soup.

Again?

Grandpa Lu and Aunty Pei were both looking at them!

Ji Qingqing got goosebumps from Lu Lixing feeding her soup. She quickly reached for the bowl of soup in Lu Lixing's hand. Smiling, she said, "I can drink the soup myself."

Lu Lixing didn't let go of the bowl of soup or move the spoon away. He steadily brought the spoonful of soup to her lips without spilling a drop and waited for Ji Qingqing to open her mouth.

"Really, I can drink the soup myself."

"Open."

Under Elder Lu and Aunty Pei's increasingly hot gazes, Ji Qingqing slowly opened her mouth and swallowed another spoonful of soup.

She meaningfully looked at Lu Lixing. Enough, enough. She couldn't take anymore of this.

However, Lu Lixing ignored her and brought another spoonful of soup to her lips.

She opened her mouth and swallowed the soup again.

-- "Task completed. 5 points has been added to your life. You currently have 16 hours to live."

Right after Lu Lixing put down the bowl and spoon, Ji Qingqing lowered her head and coughed. She had choked on the soup.
