In Honkai, My Cheat Is Bouncing Warehouse Chapter 24

Chapter 14: Wa...deline

At the dining table.

The aroma of food filled the air, and the spread was magnificent.

I had to admit, Mei's cooking was truly flawless. It really had the feel of home-style Chinese cooking.

Before this, I had thought she only knew how to make Japanese dishes and Western cuisine.

Excluding Himeko, who had something to attend to, there were only three people seated around the round table.

Ren Yu, Mei, and Kiana.

At this moment, Kiana was holding the large ceramic bowl in front of her and was shoveling white rice into it with abandon, not even bothering with the dishes.

Yes, she really didn't eat any of the dishes.

Kiana stubbornly believed that losing was losing and that she shouldn't go back on her word. Thus, she refused Ren Yu's kind offer to eat some dishes and silently finished the entire bowl of white rice.

Then she refilled her bowl and continued shoveling.

It seemed that before long, her rice bowl would be empty again.

Mei was stunned, and even Ren Yu, who was watching her eat, felt a bit awkward. He hesitated before speaking up to remind her, "Um, Kiana, you don't have to do this. I was just saying it casually, it was just a joke."

Mei also chimed in to persuade her:

"Yeah, Kiana, you should eat some dishes. The assistant instructor didn't mean it that way."

But Kiana shook her head, not even looking up. She quickly swept the remaining grains of rice into her mouth, chewed twice, swallowed, and then clattered her bowl and chopsticks onto the table, stubbornly replying, "It's fine, it's just eating a bowl of plain rice. I'm full."

As she spoke, she proudly tilted her head towards Ren Yu.

As if to say:

—See? I said I wouldn't eat it, and I didn't!

"..."

She then looked up and glanced at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, her eyes almost blinded by them.

They looked so delicious!

Suddenly, Kiana shook her head vigorously, swallowed the saliva that had secreted, and with a determined resolve, picked up her bowl and chopsticks and walked towards the sink.

As she walked, she comforted herself:

No, I can't!

It's just a meal!

I, Kiana, can afford to lose!

Yes, as a descendant of the Kaslana Family, how can I go back on my word? This is the time to uphold our family's dignity, I absolutely cannot back down!

As she thought about it, Kiana felt much better. By the time she finally finished washing the dishes and returned after taking a shower, Ren Yu had already disappeared.

Kiana scanned the kitchen, and her gaze finally landed on Mei, who was busy working. She asked in confusion, "Mei, where did the assistant instructor go?"

"Ah? He left."

Mei replied without turning her head, still chopping something on the cutting board.

"So soon?"

Kiana tilted her head, and soon her gaze fell back on the dishes on the table that had barely been touched.

That assistant instructor is actually a picky eater!

What a waste!

The more she looked, the more she wanted to hit Ren Yu.

Mei cooked, and you're being picky!

I couldn't eat, and you're being picky?

"Kiana, could you help me clear the leftover dishes from the table?"

Mei's voice came:

"Please do, there's not much left anyway, so I won't put them in the refrigerator."

Kiana was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.

You want me to eat leftovers?

Hmph!

"Mei, the assistant instructor treats you like this, aren't you angry?"

"Treats me like what?"

Mei stopped what she was doing and asked, not understanding.

"It's about the assistant instructor being picky! He didn't even touch those dishes!"

"That's Mei's hard work!"

Kiana complained indignantly, "You could have at least eaten something! He really didn't eat anything at all, that's too much!"

Mei suddenly smiled, her delicate lips curving into a beautiful arc.

At first, she wondered if there was something wrong with her cooking, if the assistant instructor didn't like these dishes, which was why he hadn't even touched his chopsticks!

But now, she finally understood Ren Yu's intention.

These were, after all, left for Kiana.

"Assistant Instructor Yang didn't have that intention, but he did leave another message. Would you like to hear it?"

"What message?"
