Chapter 20: Do You Need Me to Help You Solve Your Needs Tonight?

"Spirit Rice!"

Yang Shi's annual yield of 430 jin of Spirit Rice wasn't enough, but for Yang Genshuo, it was plenty. Ten jin of Spirit Rice would last him many days.

He wasn't a martial arts practitioner like Yang Shi, who ate several large bowls of rice with two jin of beef every meal.

He rummaged through the kitchen and found a rice cooker he hadn't used in months, happily steaming a pot of rice for himself.

The aroma wafted to his nose!

"High-end ingredients often require the simplest cooking methods."

"This Spirit Rice is even more fragrant than Wuchang Rice by a whole level."

"Add a few stir-fried dishes, and it'll be perfect~"

He was about to order Delivery, but then he thought of the high-salt, high-oil, high-seasoning taste of takeout, and it didn't seem appealing anymore.

"Add some lighter dishes, don't steal the spotlight from the Spirit Rice."

This was his first time eating a Cultivator's food; it deserved a sense of ceremony.

Seeing the leftover lunchbox still on the wooden table under the Pomegranate Tree, Yang Genshuo had an idea and sent a message to Little Chef Lin Yue.

"Come to my place for dinner tonight. I'll buy the ingredients, you cook."

Lin Yue replied instantly: "On my way."

The two prepared a small table of dishes for a bowl of Spirit Rice.

As night fell, they finished everything, scooped two bowls of Spirit Rice, and sat under the Pomegranate Tree.

The fragrance of the Spirit Rice spread from the small courtyard onto the village streets. The old men and women sitting by the roadside couldn't help but look around.

"Whose house is cooking rice? It smells so good~"

Just as the two were about to enjoy a quiet dinner, the door opened.

Chen Wanting, who opened the door, walked in, sniffing the aroma of the rice.

"Shuo Ge, you're cooking yourself?"

Then she saw Lin Yue sitting under the Pomegranate Tree, her gaze turning cold.

"Yang Genshuo, why is she here?"

Yang Genshuo looked annoyed.

Forgot to change the password on the lock, and Chen Wanting just walked in.

When Lin Yue saw Chen Wanting, her body trembled. She instinctively stood up and fumbled for her phone, typing to Chen Wanting:

"Boss Lady, I was cooking for Shuo Ge, I'm leaving now."

Just as she was about to grab her bag, Yang Genshuo stood up and gently patted her shoulder, signaling her to sit down.

Lin Yue dared not sit. She lowered her head, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, like a child being punished under the Pomegranate Tree.

Yang Genshuo said irritably, "Chen Wanting, that question should be for you. Why are you at my place?"

"I told you, I wanted to see you tonight. Didn't you check WeChat?" Chen Wanting said matter-of-factly.

"I didn't reply."

"If you didn't reply, doesn't that mean you agreed? Oh, I get it. You knew I was coming and deliberately had her come over to make me angry, right?"

Chen Wanting suddenly realized.

"How come I never noticed your talent for comedy before? Huh? Chen Wanting? Please, don't be so off-putting."

"I know I was out of line the night before last, but I had my reasons. My Thesis Defense is really difficult, and I was already annoyed. I was just joking with them, and you caught me. I was so ashamed then."

"Zhao Tianci was also someone they insisted I add, just to show off their vanity. In reality, I don't know him at all, nor do I understand him."

"I cried for a long time when I went back that night. I finally realized that the only person I love is you. Whether you are poor, rich, or sick, I will only love you."

She spoke with a wronged tone, appearing harmless and evoking a desire to protect. However, her eyes couldn't help but drift towards the Bentley parked in the Courtyard.

"Oh, oh, oh~ Stare any longer and your eyeballs will fall out. Do you want to ask why Zhao Tianci's Bentley is here?"

"I'm a little curious."

"Because he owes me for it. Alright, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave. I'm in a good mood today, I don't want to scold you."

Chen Wanting didn't seem to care about Yang Genshuo's sarcastic taunts. Instead, she picked up her phone and typed to Lin Yue:

"You can go. I'm staying here tonight, and it's inconvenient to keep you."

Lin Yue: "Okay, Boss Lady."

"Since you know I'm the Boss Lady, don't come around here when you have nothing better to do."

"Mm."

Lin Yue bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She turned her head to leave.

Yang Genshuo grabbed Lin Yue's hand. Her small hand was ice-cold.

Jingle jingle~

Lin Yue shook the wind chime, her tear-filled eyes looking at Yang Genshuo, her gaze filled with grievance and a desire to escape.

Let me go.

Yang Genshuo read the three words.

Yang Genshuo glanced at her phone, his expression instantly turning cold.

He used Lin Yue's phone to type to Chen Wanting: "You are no longer the Boss Lady. I can come whenever I want. You are affecting Shuo Ge and me eating now, please leave."

Lin Yue widened her misty eyes, like a female protagonist in an anime, and watched in surprise as Yang Genshuo held her hand and typed out those words one by one. A warm current surged from the back of her hand to her entire body.

Chen Wanting's face immediately turned pale with anger.

"You! You two. Yang Genshuo, you are shameless! You want to play with a cripple? She can't even speak clearly! She can only make 'aba aba' sounds when she moans! You want to drive me away for someone like her?"

Chen Wanting pointed at Lin Yue, furious.

"Get out."

Yang Genshuo's face had already turned cold listening to those words. Even an old pervert like him felt disgusted.

"You're something else!"

Chen Wanting turned and left.

"Wait a moment!"

Hearing Yang Genshuo chasing after her, Chen Wanting's face revealed a triumphant smile.

"I knew you..."

"Take off the windbreaker I bought for you."

"?"

Chen Wanting covered her arm and cursed as she left. She reached the subway station, closed the door, and hailed a taxi. The driver seemed to be in a bad mood, and he drove while cursing all the way to the address.

"Let's watch a movie."

Yang Genshuo opened the outdoor screen in the courtyard, put on a movie, and ate with Lin Yue.

There were no words, but at this moment, it was better than any words.

Lin Yue felt hot all over tonight, her face was constantly flushed, and her heart was beating fast.

She disliked Chen Wanting because she had long felt that Chen Wanting was a bad person. Every time they met, the boss would just buy, buy, buy.

Yang Genshuo, meanwhile, was using his heart to feel the wondrous sensation brought by the Spirit Rice.

"This special fluctuation is spiritual energy. The spiritual energy is flowing through my body and continuously modifying it."

After finishing a bowl of rice, Yang Genshuo, whether it was an illusion or not, felt his eyesight had improved a little, and he could see the screen more clearly.

His nose could detect more fragrances, and his ears seemed to have become a little more sensitive.

This change was very subtle; if one didn't sense it carefully, it would be like a fantasy.

But Yang Genshuo knew that this was spiritual energy modifying his body.

"Liu Wuhen said that Spirit Rice is not only useful for Cultivators, but mortals who eat Spirit Rice regularly will also improve their physique, become immune to all diseases, and increase their Lifespan."

"It's like the body is developing again."

"How peculiar."

This was different from the potent tonics used for body forging. This was a gentler yet peculiar power. Yang Genshuo even felt that if he persisted in eating Spirit Rice, perhaps his mild myopia of 150 degrees could be cured.

"Hmm?" He suddenly looked at Lin Yue, his eyes gradually showing joy.

"Lin Yue has Congenital Deaf-mutism. Is it possible... for her to recover?"

At this moment, he made a decision.

"Lin Yue, come here to cook every day from now on. I'll pay you a salary."

"No, no, I'll just do it casually."

"Well, actually, I want to hire you as my Nutritionist to plan my three meals a day and assist me with my exercise and weight loss. This matter is very complex and professional, requiring your full commitment. Your monthly salary will be the same as before, 4000 yuan. Do you have the confidence to accept this job?"

"Yes! I'll officially start tomorrow!"

Yang Genshuo nodded. Changing the wording indeed worked.

The next moment, Lin Yue looked at the many rooms behind her and typed:

"Boss, do I need to live in the Staff Dormitory? I heard that fitness enthusiasts have high demands on food and need to control calories and such. I can stay here at night too and take care of your various needs."

"Huh???"
