A Lion Hunting a Rabbit

Xiao He turned his attention back to the food, opened his mouth and took a bite of a salt and pepper pork rib, its aroma filling the air...

Although you can barely taste the spiciness, it's bursting with salt and pepper flavor, and every bite is filled with the aroma of meat. The meat is chewy but not too tough, and combined with the crispy crust, it's absolutely delicious...

Ye Wanqing's stir-fried tomatoes and eggs were also exceptionally delicious, with a rich and flavorful broth that was, most importantly, thick and creamy.

When he ate at home, his parents always cooked bland, watery dishes, like tomato and egg soup. But Ye Wanqing's tomato and egg stir-fry was so thick and flavorful that it melted in his mouth like tomato sauce. The saltiness of the eggs and the sweet and sour taste of the tomatoes blended together, making him want to eat one mouthful of rice after another, unable to stop.

"How come this girl's cooking is so delicious?" Xiao He stared at Ye Wanqing with some suspicion. "Could it be her second Superpower?"

Watching him wolf down his food, Ye Wanqing couldn't help but laugh, forgetting to eat herself.

"Come, come." Seeing that Ye Wanqing had stopped eating, Xiao He picked up the tomato and egg stir-fry and handed it to her, putting some into her bowl.

Ye Wanqing was both surprised and touched: He actually knew to put food on my plate?

But then Xiao He added, "Want more? If not, I've already put it in my bowl. Tomato and egg rice is the best."

"Eat, eat! I knew you weren't that kind..." Ye Wanqing rolled her eyes, and for some reason, she recalled Xiao He's handsome appearance in the Helicopter. Her heart fluttered, and her face flushed. She could only hide it by lowering her head and eating.

But even while eating, she couldn't help but recall that scene.

"Ugh, why can't I see his image in my mind?" Ye Wanqing thought to herself with a hint of resentment.

Although the two of them had been getting along quite well recently, it was only happy. This was the first time she had ever felt this way, and it was only because of his appearance that she was moved.

She initially thought he wasn't her type, but now she's a total turn-off... Ye Wanqing was a little annoyed by her own "appearance-obsessed" nature.

But watching Xiao He eat and drink so heartily, Ye Wanqing couldn't help but laugh again, comforting herself. "I don't like him entirely because of his looks, the way he eats is adorable, that's the key, hmm..."

Thinking of this, she suddenly came to her senses and became angry with herself: I don't like him at all! I just... I just thought he was kind of handsome before!

"You..." Ye Wanqing picked up a piece of pork rib, took a bite, and stammered, "You actually look quite good in a shirt."

"Is that so?" Xiao He asked, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm... it makes his shoulders look very broad." Ye Wanqing nodded. "I don't particularly like frail telephone poles; I feel safer when a guy is a bit muscular."

"But the weather in this city is so awkward," Xiao He sighed. "Just a few days ago it was summer, too hot to wear a shirt, but a couple of days later it's winter, too cold to wear a shirt. There are practically no opportunities to wear a shirt."

"That's true..." Ye Wanqing muttered softly, putting down her chopsticks. "I'm full, you can finish the rest."

"Hey." Xiao He rolled up his sleeves, ready to clean up the mess. After thinking for a moment, he picked up another salt and pepper pork rib and put it in Ye Wanqing's bowl. "Have one more. I'll take the rest."

"Hmph..." Ye Wanqing couldn't help but chuckle slightly: Really, she's always so gentle in these inexplicable situations.

After dinner, Ye Wanqing washed the dishes, took a walk, and returned home. She went to get her clothes to prepare for a shower, while Xiao He went to the kitchen to boil some water.

As soon as he turned on the light, he saw a hideous creature crawling around on the ground.

Xiao He shuddered and got goosebumps all over his body. He originally wanted to call Ye Wanqing for help, but then he thought, this girl always makes fun of him for not daring to kill cockroaches, so today he'll show her!

"Its name is Lin Tiannan, its name is Lin Tiannan." Xiao He silently encouraged himself, then took a deep breath to calm down, stood firm in his horse stance, gathered his energy in his dantian, mobilized all his strength, and lifted his foot.

"Screech—!" Xiao He gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage, and stomped down with all his might.

Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit!

With a muffled thud, the entire apartment building seemed to shake.

I didn't step on it.

The grotesque creature slipped out through the gap in his slippers and darted away through the kitchen.

"What happened? What happened?!" Ye Wanqing rushed over upon hearing the news, her face filled with horror. Her clothes were slightly disheveled as she was preparing to take a shower.

Xiao He was forced to retreat repeatedly by the scurrying cockroach, explaining, "Kill, kill the cockroach!"

"You're crazy!" Ye Wanqing glared at him, annoyed. "Why are you using so much force?! Don't you know you're Mutant?! It's only because the kitchen floor is tiled; if it were the wooden floor in the bedroom, you would have worn through it!"

"Hmph! As the saying goes, a lion hunts a rabbit..." Xiao He explained in a serious tone.

"Go to hell!" Ye Wanqing punched him on the shoulder in annoyance, then stomped the cockroach to death.

Xiao He pointed to the cockroach's corpse and said with awe, "Even the corpse must be thrown away. I've heard that if you don't throw away the cockroach's corpse, it might mysteriously disappear, which is really scary..."

Seeing him like this, Ye Wanqing was both annoyed and amused. She wanted to laugh at him, but looking at his adorable appearance, she couldn't bear to. So, she put her hands on her hips and scolded, "You asked me to kill them, didn't we agree? I'll kill the cockroaches, and you'll take care of the slugs."

"Then, you're not allowed to laugh at me for being afraid of cockroaches anymore," Xiao He said defiantly.

"Alright, alright, I won't make fun of you anymore..." Ye Wanqing was both amused and annoyed, and patted his head.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. The two opened it and saw a man in his thirties standing outside.

"Hello, I'm your neighbor who lives downstairs." The other person was quite polite, and Xiao He knew why he had come as soon as he spoke.

The neighbor glanced at Xiao He's slightly disheveled hair and Ye Wanqing's disheveled clothes, a look of realization dawning on his face. A knowing smile appeared on his lips, "We can understand you young people having a bit of fun, but could you please be a little quieter? Our electric fan almost fell down, and we finally managed to get the child to sleep, only to be woken up by you."

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Ye Wanqing apologized repeatedly, pinching Xiao He's arm and gritting her teeth as she said, "He was trying to kill a cockroach! He used so much force and still couldn't hit it, he's so stupid!"

"It's nothing, just a reminder to keep it down. I understand, after all, my wife and I were just as energetic when we were young," the other person said with a smile.

"?" Ye Wanqing seemed confused as to why this neighbor wanted to involve his wife as well.

The other party was very polite, and Xiao He was in the wrong, so he could only nod repeatedly. "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, we will be careful."
