The next day, Liu Ming woke up very early.
He had a lot to do today.
The messy areas from last night needed to be cleaned up.
The first-floor restaurant also needed a thorough cleaning.
The tables and chairs also needed to be carefully checked for any damage.
And for the Chinese Restaurant to reopen, he still had to go to the Administration for Industry and Commerce, the tax bureau, and other places to complete the procedures.
There was a pile of things to deal with.
Just thinking about it made him, this slacker, feel annoyed.
It was better to copy novels; he just needed to stay in his room, with just a computer.
He was just about to wash up when a knocking sound came from the second-floor window.
"Who is it? So early?" Liu Ming mumbled.
Opening the window, a dragon's head came into view.
Liu Ming blinked, then instinctively closed the window.
Why was there a dragon outside so early in the morning?
Am I still dreaming?
Just then, a knock sounded from the first floor.
Liu Ming rubbed his dry eyes and reluctantly went downstairs to open the door.
Who is this person? She looks familiar.
Standing outside the door was a beautiful woman with horns on her head.
After clearly seeing the woman's face,
Liu Ming finally remembered who that dragon was earlier.
It was Tohru, wasn't it?
She actually found him.
"Xiao Ming, I finally found you!" Tohru pounced, hugging Liu Ming and laughing happily.
"You're that dragon from last night?" Liu Ming had to feign ignorance.
"That's right, I'm Tohru, and I've come for you." Tohru said with a grin.
Liu Ming was instantly stunned.
He hadn't expected to actually get a dragon maid.
His luck these past few days was too good, wasn't it?
Cheat after cheat was coming online.
Liu Ming welcomed Tohru into the house. "You sit down for a bit. I'll go wash up and be right back. Oh, by the way, have you had breakfast yet?"
"Are you making breakfast? Do you need my help? Should I prepare the ingredients for you?" Tohru asked proactively.
Hearing the word 'ingredients', Liu Ming involuntarily glanced at her tail.
Tohru seemed to often use her own tail as an ingredient.
Liu Ming shook his head repeatedly, refusing, "No need, I can handle it myself."
If it were just an ordinary dragon,
Liu Ming certainly wouldn't mind, and might even be a little excited, after all, that was dragon meat.
But the one in front of him could transform into a delicate, at least seemingly delicate, girl.
How could he possibly eat her?
After a few minutes of washing up, Liu Ming went to the kitchen and found that there really weren't many ingredients.
He used to live alone and mostly ordered takeout, so having even a few ingredients in the kitchen was already good.
Unfortunately, he had already eaten them last night.
However, even so, it couldn't stump him.
With rice, eggs, chopped green onions, and some common seasonings, he could make delicious egg-fried rice.
Tohru was curiously looking around the house. When she came to Liu Ming's room, she smelled that familiar scent and immediately became excited.
She quickly went forward, jumped onto the bed, and kept wrapping her head in the quilt, occasionally letting out silly giggles.
"It's Xiao Ming's scent! The whole room smells like Xiao Ming! I'm so happy!"
While she was still fantasizing, a burst of fragrance suddenly wafted from the window.
She poked her head out, sniffed, then suddenly jumped up from the bed and rushed downstairs.
"Your nose is really sharp. I just finished, and you're already down here." Liu Ming smiled as he looked at Tohru.
"Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming, what are these golden, glittering things? They smell so good!" Tohru's drool was flowing out.
"It's just ordinary egg-fried rice. From your expression, it should suit your taste. Don't be shy, eat as much as you like." Liu Ming scooped a large bowl and handed it to Tohru.
He really wanted to know what his food tasted like to other people.
"Then I won't be polite." Tohru picked up a spoon, scooped a mouthful, and gently put it into her mouth.
"Mmm~~~"
"This is called egg-fried rice, right? It's too delicious! So human food is this good. I never knew before. Mmm, it's truly exquisite!" Tohru couldn't help but take another bite, a blush immediately appeared on her cheeks, and a silly smile returned to her lips.
Qi Ming shook his head helplessly. As expected of a world with Totsuki Academy. As long as the dishes were delicious, it would be like being drugged, making people utter all sorts of embarrassing exclamations.
"What are your plans for the future?" Liu Ming pulled out a chair and sat down, preparing to eat breakfast.
"Didn't you tell me to come? I can never forget those heartwarming words, so I came looking for you early this morning. From now on, let me work here. I'm very useful. Not only can I breathe fire, but I can also use curses. Even if you want to be the King of the World, I'll help you."
"Stop, stop, stop. I'm just a lazy bum who only wants to run this Chinese Restaurant. How about you be a waitress? I'll pay you." Liu Ming didn't refuse Tohru staying. Besides, he really did need help running the restaurant.
He just didn't know if she could be a good waitress, as a waitress had to serve other humans. With Tohru's way of thinking, it might be a bit difficult.
"Leave it to me, Xiao Ming! Can you make me egg-fried rice every day?" Tohru asked with sparkling eyes.
"No problem. Food and lodging included. There are plenty of rooms upstairs; pick one yourself."
"I want to sleep with Xiao Ming."
