"Is it delicious?"

Facing Asuna, whose face had "thawed" slightly, Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly and asked lightly.

Asuna was surprised that this robot-like man with facial paralysis and glasses would care about whether his food was good or not.

But as soon as she remembered the Chinese food just now, Asuna couldn't help but lick her lips, just this action said it all.

"Well, it's good, it's delicious."

Asuna also sensed her subconscious movements, so she immediately raised her hand to cover her lips, and replied softly with a red face.

Subsequently, perhaps in order to divert Chu Xuan's attention, Asuna, who had been deliberately not speaking just now, took the initiative to ask Chu Xuan a question:

"Haven't you been busy every day trying to clear this game world as quickly as possible, why...... Do you put so much effort into cooking? ”

Originally, Asuna thought that Chu Xuan and herself were all the way, and both of them were bent on clearing the game as soon as possible, and all other activities had to meet this goal, and they should be tightly around this goal, and those things that deviated from this center could all be abandoned.

However, after watching Chu Xuan's cooking process, Asuna realized that Chu Xuan was actually completely different from her - to be honest, this discovery hit Asuna very hard, and she even had an urge to scold Chu Xuan as a "traitor" in her heart.

"I wanted to beat the game as soon as possible, but my usual behavior was more of a simple study of the rules of the world - just like I did in the past world.

As for the craftsmanship of the cooking...... I've learned it a long time ago. ”

Chu Xuan sat upright in his chair, stared straight ahead with his eyes, and answered Asuna's question seriously.

Asuna looked at Chu Xuan's resolute side face with some surprise, and asked tentatively:

"The World of the Past...... Are you a scientist in reality? ”

"Yes."

Chu Xuan nodded very surely, while Asuna asked again in disbelief:

"An 18-year-old scientist?"

"Yes."

Chu Xuan nodded affirmatively again, there was no strange expression on his face, as if he didn't think it was an incredible thing to become a scientist at the age of 18, which made Asuna, who was originally quite shocked, also begin to feel that judging from Chu Xuan's performance in the game, it was not surprising that he "only" became a scientist at the age of 18.

Asuna looked at Chu Xuan intently, blinked several times in succession, and then looked up at the ceiling, as if talking to herself, and sighed:

"Is this genius......

I have a brother who is also very good - far less than you are, and that day I used his brother's helmet to enter the game.

I wasn't interested in games before, so why did I suddenly want to do that? ”

After saying that, Asuna kept silently looking at the ceiling, her eyes a little dazed, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

After a while, Chu Xuan, who had been staring at each other without squinting, turned his head, pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and said lightly in a voice as smooth and uninhibited as always, as boring as a machine:

"Probably...... It's to meet me. ”

“……”

Asuna looked at Chu Xuan dumbfounded, she would rather suspect that her ears were hallucinating, than believe that the very ambiguous words just now came from the mouth of the man with paralyzed glasses who was as cold as an iceberg in front of her.

"Half of it was a joke."

Before Asuna could react, Chu Xuan added another sentence, which made the girl's already down brain restart.

"Hara, it turned out to be just kidding......"

Asuna stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, but then she immediately noticed the pit in Chu Xuan's words just now.

"No, but why is it only half a joke?"

Although she really didn't want to step on that very obvious pit, in order not to make the atmosphere awkward, Asuna still asked cautiously.

"Because, you came into this world to meet 'someone'."

Chu Xuan corrected what he had just said seriously, and for some reason, this joke, which didn't seem to be much different from just now, made Asuna's heart flutter.

"Isn't this the same as just now, that 'someone' is yourself!

Really! If you play tricks on me like that, I'm welcome. ”

Asuna, whose heart was beating faster, couldn't help but blush, and said to Chu Xuan angrily, but Chu Xuan just silently pushed down her reflective glasses and didn't say anything.

Well...... Chu Xuan once again "made a plan", but in this world where there is only "Kiriko" and no "someone", what Chu Xuan did was just to prevent Asuna and Kiriko from ...... There is probably a distortion of the surname orientation of Naoye's sister.,For the predicament of "declining birthrate", this is a matter of immeasurable merit.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, Asuna took out her rapier from the inventory with an expressionless face, and slapped it directly on the dining table of Chu Xuan's house, shaking the plate that still had reddish-brown soup left, and the two spoons resting on the side of the plate were also shocked to the table, and they kept colliding with the edge of the plate, making a "click" sound.

“……”

Asuna and Chu Xuan's eyes both moved to the spoon, to be precise, to the leftover soup that had been stained from the spoon onto the table.

"Hmph...... I'm going to clean up the dishes. ”

Asuna, who didn't know what she was going to say, felt very embarrassed, and she could only maintain a poker face expression when she was temporarily embarrassed to face Chu Xuan, quickly picked up the two spoons back to the plate, and then walked into the kitchen of Chu Xuan's house with the plate.

A few seconds later, Asuna, with a straight face, hurried back, holding a rag wet with water in her hand.

Asuna walked briskly to the table, silently wiped off the reddish-brown soup that had been stained on the table, and then turned to leave.

However, just as Chu Xuan was about to stand up, Asuna, who had already turned most of her body, glanced at Chu Xuan from the corner of her eye, and said to him in a cold tone:

"You just have to sit and I'll clean it up."

“……”

Chu Xuan, who originally wanted to go to the kitchen to help Asuna clean up the dishes, honestly obeyed the order of Asuna, who was obviously in an abnormal mood, and returned to the **, and continued to sit upright on the chair.

And when Asuna walked to the kitchen door with her head down, she turned her head a little reluctantly, and asked Chu Xuan from afar in an awkward tone:

"Tea ...... Where to put it? (To be continued.) )
