Chapter 248 No Meat, No Pleasure 9
"Who would come over at a time like this?" Ziyue didn't care and picked up her chopsticks, heading straight for her favorite dish.
Seeing his older sister's adorable, greedy look, Qi Annian smiled indulgently, got up, and opened the door.
As soon as Qi Annian opened the door, a man with a straight posture, handsome face, and wearing a crisp military uniform appeared before him.
Qi Annian looked wary; he had a bad feeling about it.
Qi Annian wore an innocent expression. "Who are you looking for?"
Ji Linyuan looked at the baby-faced man blocking the doorway. He knew that he must be Qi Annian, the second-level high-ranking fire-type ability user. Ignoring the wariness in the baby-faced man's eyes, he said, "I'm looking for Qing Ziyue."
Upon hearing the voice, Ziyue asked, "Who is it? Come in and talk."
Actually, she already knew who the person outside was through Xiao Jiu'er.
Qi Annian reluctantly stepped aside to let her in only after his sister gave the order.
Ziyue looked at the man in military uniform who walked in. He was tall with long legs and a straight posture. The top button of his uniform was fastened, giving him an air of asceticism.
He had pale, cool skin, sharp features, a high nose bridge, and eyes as black as ink; his face was handsome.
Ziyue silently gave his appearance a score of 9.5 in her mind.
Zi Yue raised an eyebrow and said, "Major General Ji? What a rare guest."
As soon as Ji Linyuan entered, his gaze was immediately drawn to the woman sitting at the dining table.
She wore a black halter-neck dress, revealing her fair and slender shoulders and sexy collarbones. Her features were alluring and exquisite.
He hadn't expected that this female ability user, who was at the same level as him, would be so... well, so beautiful.
To my surprise, even though I arrived at the off-peak hours, these two seemed to be just getting ready to eat.
"Excuse me for disturbing you. Why don't you two have your meal first, and we can talk afterwards?" But he didn't seem to feel apologetic at all for interrupting their meal.
From the moment General Ji's gaze fell upon his older sister, Qi Annian wished he could immediately hide her away and kick this man out.
Qi Annian's smile grew even more innocent and harmless. She sat down next to Ziyue and put a piece of rib on her plate. "Sister, let's eat first, or the food will get cold."
"Well, you should eat too. I wonder if Major General Ji has eaten yet? Would you like to sit down and eat with us?"
Actually, Ziyue was just being polite, but who knew that Major General Ji would be so unceremonious and calmly take his seat?
He sat down opposite Ziyue, looking quite leisurely: "Thank you, then I'll accept your thanks."
Seeing his actions, Ziyue didn't say anything and continued eating her food. This guy is quite interesting.
"An'an, get a set of chopsticks and a bowl for Major General Ji."
"Okay, sister." With that, Qi Anian stood up, her gaze falling on Major General Ji, her eyes growing increasingly dark, before turning and walking into the kitchen.
How annoying! Why should others eat the food my sister made?
During the meal, Qi Annian glanced at Major General Ji several times, but Major General Ji ignored him.
Looking at the eight dishes and one soup on the table, Ji Linyuan's inner monologue had already begun: He hadn't expected that even in the apocalypse, these two would still be eating so lavishly. Their family only had four dishes and one soup on their table, which was just a bit large in quantity, but there weren't this many kinds.
Moreover, where would he get so much meat? At his own home, there are meat dishes at every meal, but not many.
He felt his face was turning ashen, which was truly agonizing for someone who loved meat so much.
Suddenly seeing a table laden with what could be described as a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, he had wanted to sit down since he entered, but he had been holding back. Now, as soon as the host invited him, he immediately took a seat. What was politeness? Politeness meant he wouldn't get to eat meat.
Oh my gosh, it's so delicious, so incredibly delicious! Especially this braised pork belly, it's absolutely amazing—fatty yet not greasy, it melts in your mouth! He really loves it.
He could eat two big bowls of rice with just this plate of meat!
Could he apply for a permanent stay? Could he work to earn a living? Cleaning? Laundry? Machine repair? Bodyguard? What else could he do? He needs to think about it…
Ziyue watched as Major General Ji across from her ate happily, his thoughts seemingly wandering off somewhere, and suddenly found him somewhat endearing in a contrasting way.
One moment he was aloof and abstinent, but the next he suddenly changed to a completely different style, and even became a bit gluttonous.
She discovered that he also had a particular fondness for meat, just like her, and was probably someone who couldn't live without meat. Moreover, he was a bit dull, which was quite endearing.
As a result, the three of them ate all eight dishes and one soup, leaving not a single bite.
After the meal, Ziyue and Ji Linyuan sat on the sofa facing each other. Ziyue spoke first: "May I ask what brings you here, Major General Ji?"
Ji Linyuan looked at the soft and delicate woman lounging lazily on the sofa opposite him. She looked harmless. Just by looking at her appearance, who would know that she was a level three lightning-type ability user with such great destructive power?
This proves once again that our ancestors were right: never judge a book by its cover.
Ji Linyuan stopped his wandering thoughts and sat up straight.
"It's like this, Ms. Qing. We understand that you are a Level 3 beginner lightning-type ability user, and Mr. Qi's ability level is also very excellent. I am here on behalf of our Central Base to invite you two to join the military. We hope that we can work together to contribute to the development of the Central Base in the future."
Ziyue could roughly guess his intentions, and after hearing what he said, she refused without hesitation.
"I'm sorry, Major General Ji, I'm used to being free and easy, so I might not be very comfortable with the discipline and habits of the military."
Ji Linyuan had already prepared himself for rejection before he came. After all, someone with such a high level of superpower must have their own pride. All he needed to do was ensure that they were friends, not enemies.
But after he arrived, he changed his mind; he was determined to bring people on board.
I wonder if it was for the delicious food and skillful cooking? Or for the person in front of me?
