Chapter 0064: The Unfathomable Heart of a Girl
"I'm sorry, Wen Lan, I was too impulsive." Li Bin gave Wen Lan a deep, sorrowful look, then pointed to Wen Ting's room and said, "Wen Lan, go in and check on Wen Ting. That silly girl is probably still upset about what happened yesterday. Comfort her, get her to eat something. It's not good to go on an empty stomach."
Right now, Li Bin was especially eager to see what kind of state Wen Ting was in and what her intimacy level with him was.
"Wen Ting! Get up! Why are you still in bed? Open the door!"
Wen Lan was much more direct than Li Bin. She started pounding fiercely on Wen Ting's door, urging impatiently:
"You brat! Either you're out causing trouble, or you're cooped up in your room playing games all day! Are you trying to become an immortal? You're not even eating! Get out here now!"
"Alright, alright! Stop knocking! I'm up already!" Wen Ting's impatient voice came from the room.
Immediately after, Wen Ting suddenly opened the door and walked out with a gloomy expression. She gave Li Bin a cold glance, then said to Wen Lan, "I'm hungry! Let's go eat downstairs."

[Intimacy: -90 (Disgust)]
"It's over..." Li Bin felt a buzzing in his head, and cold sweat immediately beaded on his forehead.
When Li Bin saw Wen Ting's status and her intimacy level with him had become -90 (Disgust), he immediately understood that Wen Ting had been conscious last night!
Even if she didn't know the full story, she must have had some vague memory
Li Bin once again prepared himself for a rebirth after social death.
He even closed his eyes in despair.
However, the scene Li Bin had anticipated, of Wen Ting exposing him in front of Wen Lan, then berating him in shame and anger did not occur!
None of the possible outcomes Li Bin had imagined happened!
"Brother-in-law..." Wen Ting called out to Li Bin in a flat tone, then walked past him as if she hadn't seen him at all, heading downstairs.
Wen Ting didn't only not expose what Li Bin had done to her. She even seemed to be deliberately acting as she normally would.
Watching Wen Ting walk downstairs, Li Bin froze.
"Brother-in-law? What are you standing around for? Let's go eat together!" Wen Lan pulled the stunned Li Bin, who was frozen in place, and took his hand, leading him downstairs.
Judging by Wen Ting's state, she must have been somewhat conscious last night!
But, Wen Ting showed no intention of saying anything. On the contrary, she seemed to be deliberately acting as usual. She even seemed to be deliberately pretending she knew nothing in front of him!
Why was Wen Ting doing this?
Li Bin had already prepared himself for social death. But he never expected that nothing would happen. It was as if he had punched a pillow, leaving him momentarily at a loss, completely unsure of how to react.
"Brother-in-law! This is the lunch I specially made for you and Wen Ting today! Here, try my cooking!"
As soon as they got downstairs, Wen Lan handed Li Bin a pair of chopsticks and a bowl of rice, her big, watery eyes blinking with anticipation as she looked at him.
Li Bin glanced at the culinary disaster on the table, and his face immediately darkened.
Wen Lan had definitely put in the effort.
She had made a whole table of dishes.
But every dish looked like a black, charred mess. Was this stuff even edible?
Li Bin swallowed hard with difficulty, picked up a piece of the burnt sweet and sour pork rib, and put it in his mouth.
A bitter, burnt taste immediately assaulted his taste buds, followed by a salty flavor with a hint of vinegar.
It was as disgusting as eating burnt salt!
"Pfft!~~" Wen Ting, who was sitting across from him, immediately spit out the bite she had just tried in pain. "Second sister! What is this stuff? Is this even edible? Ugh!~~ It's horrible!!"
"You brat! You're so heartless! To make this food for you, I got up early and have been busy until now!! If you don't want to eat, then don't. But Brother-in-law will definitely like it, right?"
"Brother-in-law! Tell me, is it good?" Wen Lan turned to Li Bin again, her face full of expectation, hoping for some encouragement.
"Cough!~~ Ugh!~~" Li Bin had originally intended to endure it and give Wen Lan some confidence.
But the food was hellishly difficult to eat. Li Bin couldn't hold it in and immediately spit it out as well!
