"I don't think I've ever had this before? Is this the meal made by that sister?" Luo Feng was momentarily stunned when he heard the Merfolk Queen directly address Tang Xueying as "sister," but he didn't comment further—it was just a form of address after all.
With that thought, Luo Feng spoke up: "This is the noodles made by that sister. Let me taste how it is first. Wait a moment, I'll have her serve you a bowl."
"Master, what is this heart-shaped thing on the noodles?" the Merfolk Queen asked curiously.
Luo Feng pondered for a moment before replying: "This is an egg, laid by the chicken I gave you to eat before. That sister just now said only I could eat this egg, so I'll have to keep it for myself. I'll find more eggs for you later."
The Merfolk Queen stared at the heart-shaped egg, seemingly recalling something, then said: "Thank you, Master. But in the future, I also want to make noodles for you. Could you teach me how to cook noodles?"
Hearing this, Luo Feng was momentarily taken aback before responding: "Sure, no problem at all. Cooking noodles is actually very simple—you just need hands. You'll naturally learn after watching me do it once. But let's not talk about this now—we should focus on eating first. Let me taste what this egg is like."
As Luo Feng spoke, he picked up the egg with his chopsticks.
Just then, the Merfolk Queen suddenly exclaimed: "Master, wait! There seems to be writing on that egg!"
Luo Feng was startled—how could there possibly be writing on an egg? He immediately turned his gaze to examine the egg closely.
When Luo Feng looked carefully, his eyes widened as if he'd seen something unbelievable. There, on the heart-shaped egg yolk, he indeed saw faint indentations forming a character:
Wei
After checking several times, Luo Feng finally confirmed he wasn't seeing things—the marks on the yolk truly formed the character "Wei."
Seeing this, Luo Feng fell into deep thought. What could Tang Xueying mean by writing this character on the egg? Wasn't this one of the characters from her sister's name? Could it be...?
Luo Feng was frightened by his own wild speculation. He shook his head vigorously—how could that be possible? He must be overthinking it. Tang Xueying was probably just missing her sister, right?
With that thought, Luo Feng said: "It's just a character, but no need to dwell on it. I'm going to eat now."
Having said that, Luo Feng took a bite of the egg.
Seeing Luo Feng's reaction, the Merfolk Queen didn't press further, but she memorized all these details. When she made noodles for Luo Feng in the future, she would also imprint her name on them. This "Wei" character must be that sister's name, right?
After finishing the egg, Luo Feng looked at the bowl of noodles and said: "I just remembered something—do you know how to use chopsticks?"
The Merfolk Queen showed a puzzled expression upon hearing Luo Feng's words and said, "Master, we don't know how to use chopsticks. We usually eat with forks."
Hearing this, Luo Feng smiled and replied, "A fork will do.
But if you're going to live with me from now on,
you must learn to use chopsticks.
When I have time, I can teach you."
As he spoke, Luo Feng handed the Merfolk Queen a fork.
Soon, Luo Feng and the Merfolk Queen finished the bowl of noodles.
Then, Luo Feng sent a message to Tang Xueying, saying:
"Your noodles are delicious.
Do you have any more? Send me another bowl.
I recently got a pet, and she also likes your noodles."
Meanwhile, Tang Xuewei was lost in thought, wondering if Luo Feng had noticed the character she had left on the egg.
Would he realize it was her, Tang Xuewei?
But none of that mattered anymore.
Tomorrow, she would meet Luo Feng, hoping for a favorable outcome.
Hearing Luo Feng's words, she felt both happy and curious. She hadn't expected him to acquire a pet in such a short time.
But she didn't dwell on it—as long as Luo Feng enjoyed her noodles, that was enough.
So, she sent him another large bowl of noodles.
[Large Bowl of Noodles] traded for [Nothing]
Luo Feng didn't hesitate and immediately started eating the bowl of noodles before him.
A few minutes later, both Luo Feng and the Merfolk Queen were full.
The Merfolk Queen then said, "I never expected Sister's noodles to be so delicious. When we meet her,
I'll ask her to teach me how to make them."
Seeing the Merfolk Queen's excitement, Luo Feng didn't want to dampen her spirits.
Making noodles was something Luo Feng could do too—in fact, he was quite skilled at it.
So, he said, "Alright, tomorrow when we meet, I'll introduce you to her.
That way, I'll get to enjoy good food in the future.
I wonder whose noodles will taste better?"
After finishing the noodles,
Luo Feng turned his attention to the plate of cucumbers.
He noticed the cucumber slices were covered in white, sticky strands, and he fell into deep thought.
These were cucumbers, not lotus roots—why were there white strands?
Did she not wash them?
Curious, Luo Feng picked up a slice with his chopsticks, pulling up a web of white strands from the plate.
Startled by the sheer amount, he wondered—
Had Tang Xueying drunk too much water?
Without overthinking it, he popped the cucumber slice, along with the strands, into his mouth.
Sweet?
The taste of the cucumber surprised him.
It was sweet?
Were those white strands sweet too?
He remembered reading online that they were supposed to be salty.
But after checking the description of the Fine Quality Cucumber, Luo Feng finally understood.
He had overthought it; the sweetness naturally came from the Fine Quality Cucumber.
Without hesitation, Luo Feng quickly finished the entire plate of cucumbers with her.
After finishing the meal, he sent Tang Xueying a message: "I've finished eating.
I really can't thank you enough for cooking for me this time.
When we meet, I'll properly express my gratitude.
Now that we've both eaten, I'll give you the gift I prepared for you.
