I'm The Hard Rice King

Chapter 6 The wind is very noisy today

I see again my long-estranged enemy, and my wounds suddenly bleed again—Jean Racine in "Fedel."

Xu Man raised his head slightly, staring at Li Peifeng's slightly thin but handsome face as always, and suddenly thought of this sentence in his heart.

When she first saw this sentence, she thought "enemy" was "old friend". When she looked at it again, she found that it was "enemy", and then she remembered the sentence "It only takes a moment to turn an old friend into an enemy."

Damn scumbag! We never contacted you again without even saying the word "break up". Do you really think of me as the Bichi you experienced before? !

…

Hitting means kissing and scolding means loving, but I really like kicking too much - MR. Li.

When Li Peifeng saw Xu Manying's reaction, he knew that she still had some feelings for him. Looking at the love-hate look in her eyes, the eyes in those small single eyelids wanted to chew him alive, including flesh and bones.

Hey, I just asked my girl for a bowl of porridge. You are so jealous... You don’t really want to get back together with me, do you? !

With just one phone call from me, you will directly enter the third stage after falling out of love. Are you starting to fantasize about recovery?

What a huge misunderstanding!

But this also has its advantages. Li Peifeng has gained some confidence in completing the next task of 30,000 consumption quota.

"If you don't want to eat it today, forget it. We'll talk about it later when we have time, but I have to give this to you, lest I forget it in the future."

Li Peifeng handed her the cylinder in his hand.

"What?"

Xu Manying hesitated for a moment, then took it and looked at it.

"I promised to paint a portrait of you, but painting is easy, but painting you...is difficult."

Li Peifeng said softly: "I have been painting this painting for nearly a month. Recently, I stayed up two all-nighters and forgot about food and sleep. I finally finished the painting and wanted to give it to you immediately."

Li Peifeng didn't lie. In the past two days, besides trying to find ways to exploit the system, he was painting this picture. After obtaining the system and knowing that Xu Manying was among the targets of the assessment task, he took out the half-finished painting and completed it overnight.

The purpose is to use this painting and this past promise to repair the relationship between the two, which will help complete the assessment task.

Li Peifeng was forced by his parents to sign up for many training classes since he was a child. As a university professor, his second son also taught many things to his son orally, such as calligraphy, music, art, dance, etc.

But learning too many things also resulted in Li Peifeng being knowledgeable but not proficient. He was only able to master painting and music.

"..."

Xu Manying silently unfolded the 8K-sized drawing paper slowly, and a colored lead portrait of herself was displayed under the early autumn sunshine.

Li Peifeng did not overly beautify Xu Manying's facial features. He has a smaller head and a standard oval face. The lines on both sides of the face are smooth and smooth. The chin does not have a strange pointy or sharp retraction line, but a naturally retracted jawline. , the overall face is natural and soft.

The two crescent eyebrows of appropriate density are neither sad nor happy. The pair of lying silkworms paired with the pair of slender eyes under the single eyelids have a blurred look. The upward bridge of the nose is high and slightly hump, which neutralizes the cuteness of the slightly upturned face. The sharpness of the hump and high bridge of the nose.

Xu Manying in the painting is not smiling, and her lips are slightly drooped naturally, but this kind of mouth corner is unique among the thousands of smiling lips.

Under the touch of Li Peifeng's capable and concise brushstrokes, Xu Manying is cool, arrogant, and riding the world of mortals.

…

Ten minutes later, it was still a Cantonese fast food restaurant.

Still the same table.

The same two people.

However, a large casserole of raw beef porridge and four side dishes were already placed on the dinner table.

"You paid for this meal with paintings."

Xu Manying drank the porridge and looked at the man in front of her. His expression had softened a lot: "If you have anything else to say, just say it quickly. I still have work to do after dinner."

"Hmm~um~hiss~"

Li Peifeng didn't even bother to talk. He opened the bow with both hands and made "哓哧哓Chi" in one fell swoop.

He thought back on the two and a half days when he was constantly hungry, and it felt like a lingering nightmare. Now, he finally woke up from the dream...

"You really haven't eaten in three days?"

Apparently, Xu Manying was a little frightened by his appearance.

"Hmm~ um, sizzling~ sizzling~ ah!"

…

five minutes later.

"Another pot of mushroom and fish fillet porridge, a plate of crab roe siu mai, and a plate of spicy bamboo shoot slices."

Most of the food on the table was gone, and Li Peifeng was still devouring it. Xu Manying called the waiter to order more dishes, and then asked the waiter: "Is it enough?"

"Hmm~hmm~hmm."

Li Peifeng kept stuffing things into his mouth and nodded: "Dog."

…

Twenty minutes later, Li Peifeng finally stopped eating. Xu Manying couldn't help but said: "Tell me, where did you come back from the disaster? I don't believe the excuse that you didn't eat for three days because of painting!"

Li Peifeng kneaded his stomach slightly with his left hand, and still scooped porridge into his mouth with his right hand. He felt the liquid slowly enter the stomach from the esophagus, and the rice grains mixed with soup and oysters slowly moved in the intestines. He felt safe and comfortable. Happiness filled every cell of his body, and he felt a rare sense of joy. He couldn't help but joke: "It's not that I'm running away from home, it's just that after seeing you, my appetite suddenly became better than ever."

Xu Manying tilted his head and gave a confused look: "Are you really sick?"

Li Peifeng subconsciously wanted to refute, but he thought to himself that he was bound by the system and could not eat normally. He could only survive by eating soft food. Wasn't he sick? But he may be the only one in the world with this disease...

"Just think I'm sick."

Li Peifeng sighed and continued to eat in small bites. He usually exercised a lot and had a big appetite, but now he only ate five times full.

Seeing him continuing to cook, Xu Manying became a little impatient: "You called me all the way here just for a meal? Don't you have something to say to me? Why don't you say it now?"

"I've said all that needs to be said, and I've given you the painting. There's nothing else to do."

While eating, Li Peifeng asked with concern: "You haven't answered yet, it's not winter yet, why are you wearing a down jacket and you have a cold?"

What does it mean to say something to the contrary? That's it.

Mr. Li knew Xu Manying's subtext very clearly, and he also had a clear idea of ​​his thoughts, but he did not dare to continue because he had no idea of ​​getting back together with Xu Manying, let alone playing an emotional game of rejoicing with Xu Manying...

Yes, if two people get back together, depending on each other's personality and family conditions, it would be easy for Xu Manying to spend 30,000 for himself, but what about the other mission target?

Break up and then move on to the next one? Two in two months? Or... operate multiple lines at the same time?

The risk is too great, the boat may capsize, and then I would not want to be far away from the society.

Moreover, Li Peifeng cannot accept that he has really become such an emotional liar for the purpose of money.

Fortunately, in the days after obtaining the system, Li Peifeng not only tried every means to exploit system vulnerabilities, but also had a rough plan on how to complete the assessment tasks safely.

But the premise of the plan is to remain single and not be in a relationship with anyone.

On the other hand, Li Peifeng is not in the mood or has the ability to talk about any bullshit romantic love story now, he just wants to eat!

Xu Manying obviously misunderstood, and there are good reasons for such misunderstanding...

"Of course I wore a down jacket because it was cold, and the temperature was not bad, but the autumn wind was so noisy that it made me dizzy. It also made me understand something."

"What?"

Li Peifeng was confused, and Xu Manying pointed out: "The wind is changeable. Even if you like its tenderness like water, like its coolness and clarity in spring and summer, you will also hate it in autumn and winter. It’s biting and cold.”

"not to mention……"

Xu Manying paused, glanced at the man across from him, and then said: "The wind is ruthless and unreasonable. It can waver wherever it wants to go. It can blow whatever it wants and do whatever it wants."

"It is absolutely correct to describe it as capricious and inconsistent... So, the truth is, I have to work hard to make money, buy more coats, no matter what the weather is, no matter what time of year, I have to wear them all the time, so as not to be blown away by this nerve. It’s time to catch a cold.”

Li Peifeng thought carefully for 0.1 seconds, and finally decided that the wind she was talking about had nothing to do with the wind in her name...

It can be said to be completely irrelevant! ! !

New books need to be read...
