Everyday Life After Returning

When Bai Zhi returned from the Inner World to the Real World, it was about noon.

The front door of the first-floor living room stood open. The sea breeze drifted in, while the scorching noon sunlight poured through the wide bay windows.

The living room was empty, but Xia Wen, wearing an apron around her waist, was cooking in the semi-open kitchen... Wait, Xia Wen?

Glancing at the wall clock pointing to eleven thirty, Bai Zhi's mouth twitched slightly.

It was certainly nice that he had arrived just in time for a meal, but once he realized Xia Wen was the one making lunch, he could not feel happy no matter what... After all, she was the sort of talent who could get into a fight with a fish stewing in a pot.

...Come to think of it, where were the Campus Belle and Night Owl?

Because of the angle, Xia Wen had not noticed his return. At the moment, she was intently using a spoon to test the saltiness of the meat soup stewing in the pressure cooker.

"Hmm... It seems a little bland..."

After tasting the soup in the bowl, Xia Wen took the salt beside her and poured it straight into the pressure cooker, too lazy to bother with anything else.

In an instant, half a bag of salt went into the pot.

"Uh..."

Looking at the scene before her, Xia Wen seemed rather stunned as well. A moment later, she decisively poured half a bag of sugar into the pressure cooker, muttering softly under her breath at the same time.

"If I do this, the sugar and salt should cancel each other out, right?"

Bai Zhi: "..."

He decided that he would rather die than eat that dish later.

"What are you looking for?"
