Chapter 59: The King of Food
It stands to reason that although Ma Le deceived Xiao Ning too much and used her superpowers, but speaking of which, this did not cause any loss to Yu Xiao Ning, the two had nothing to do with each other, and Ma Le did not owe her anything.
But for some reason, as soon as he heard the girl's name, Ma Le had an urge to escape. He dared to fight to the death when facing Zhao Renfan, and he also moved forward bravely when facing the terminator, but he was a little helpless against this little girl. The reason is that when they were separated last time, Yu Xiaoning's miserable and complaining expression made Ma Le can't bear to look back.
"Lao Tzu can't see a woman crying the most!" When he was a child, Ma Le said so when he laughed for Ma Xiao, who was bullied and cried, but he didn't expect that after many years, he still couldn't change this problem when he grew up.
But since he has been caught, Ma Le didn't twist, turned around generously, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ning, you also came to work so coincidentally?" Students, you should be learning-oriented, have you finished your homework......
Yu Xiaoning still stared at him and didn't speak, Liu Qi next to him stopped doing it, and grabbed Ma Le's neck: "Still Xiaoning, you can be kind, what is the relationship between the two of you?!" ”
"Stay where it's cool!" This time, it was Ma Le and Yu Xiaoning who spoke in unison, Ma Le looked at this girl with some surprise, but she didn't expect that she would also have time to scold people, who has always been well-behaved and sensible.
Then, something even more different happened to him, after being yelled at by Yu Xiaoning, the unrelenting Liu Qi seemed to be fascinated, nodded with a dull look, and really left in a daze, standing at the air conditioning vent of the shopping mall...... Sure enough, it's cool, it's too obedient.
Ma Le looked at Yu Xiaoning in shock and stammered, "You ...... Is it a hidden ability, or is it a ......"
Yu Xiaoning snorted and turned her head away: "Why should I sue you!" ”
Ma Le thought of the worst possibility, could it be...... He took out the miracle badge and scanned it, and was relieved to see Yu Xiaoning's information displayed. Then he grabbed Yu Xiaoning's wrist, looked around and no one was paying attention, and said sharply: "Follow me!" He pulled Yu Xiaoning and walked towards the safe passage.
Yu Xiaoning wanted to break free at first, but where did she have Ma Le's strength, she gave up after struggling twice, but she didn't say a word, just let Ma Le pull her, and the two came to the stairwell.
"Say, what's the matter with your ability, is it mutated?" Ma Le asked with a frown.
In the small environment where the two of them were alone, Yu Xiaoning looked a little apprehensive, but she still said stiffly: "You said that we have nothing to do with each other, what do you care about me!" ”
"I didn't play with you!" Ma Le said sharply: "Answer me well, this is for your good!" ”
Yu Xiaoning was intimidated by Ma Le's momentum, and finally compromised, and said, "It's a new ability that has only been available recently...... Something similar happened before, my strength is getting stronger little by little, at first I can only see people's feelings, gradually, I can see what people think, and then I have the ability to premonition, and this ability to control people was only discovered last week...... But it's not very useful, I can give him some psychological hints at most, how much it affects his thinking, this Liu Qi is ...... to me I have very poor resistance, so I can control it so perfectly...... But don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything special about him. ”
"Who have you used this trick against?" Ma Le asked.
Yu Xiaoning thought for a while and said: "At first, it was our domestic kitten, and it usually didn't listen to me, but suddenly one day, it did whatever I said, and then tried it on my parents, but it didn't work much...... For outsiders, there is only that Liu Qi, because he is so easy to control......"
Ma Le breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, remember, unless it's critical, this ability should never be used on anyone again!" "Of course Ma Le is in a hurry, if it is only the ability to read minds, it is probably not enough to attract the attention of adventurers, but this power of manipulating people's hearts is almost magical! This power, which is difficult for even a French adventurer to get, actually appeared in ordinary people, you can imagine how eager the city battle system will be for her, how high the price will be, and if her ability is exposed, it will definitely lead to a disaster!
Listening to Ma Le's words, Yu Xiaoning was a little unhappy: "You still care what I do, don't you tell me not to bother you?" ”
"I'm afraid you'll put yourself in there!" Ma Le pressed the top of Yu Xiaoning's head and shook it from side to side, he was relatively tall and seemed to like touching people's heads.
Yu Xiaoning was ravaged, shrank and retreated, escaped from Ma Le's clutches, and said angrily with a frown: "I'm fine, I don't need you to worry!" ”
Ma Le snorted and pointed to the hall: "Don't worry about me, who do you need, that kid?" Yu Xiaoning looked at his fingers, only to see Liu Qi still standing in a daze at the cold wind outlet, shivering all over.
"Oh, is our chief Ma jealous?" Yu Xiaoning turned around and teased Ma Le with a wicked smile. Ma Le shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, our eldest lady Yu is beautiful and unparalleled, I am deeply impressed by your charm, and I am willing to bow down under your pomegranate skirt......"
"No sincerity at all!" Yu Xiaoning frowned, she could naturally hear that Ma Le was really teasing her. But looking at the helpless look of this big man, she sneered and laughed: "Forget it, although it is a lie, I will accept it as a compliment, and forgive you for the time being...... But it's a shame that you figured it out that you lied to him that he was a hacker and asked him to spy on my movements...... Hee-hee! ”
Ma Le was stunned: "You know? ”
Yu Xiaoning raised her chin proudly: "Hmph, have you forgotten my ability, I know exactly what this guy is thinking, you, you actually put eyeliner next to a telepathic person, it's too amateur."
Ma Le patted his head: "I just said that I think something is faintly inappropriate, and the problem is here...... That's it, anyway, you know, I'll also talk about it, first, it's really dangerous around me, I don't know when I'm going to get involved in a fight, if it really starts, your half-baked ability is useless. Second, you have awakened one more ability, although it cannot be used in battle, but this is already a very rare phenomenon, once your power is exposed, there will definitely be more than one side of the force to snatch you, and I will not be able to protect you at that time. Saying that, Ma Le put his hand on Yu Xiaoning's head again: "So, it's still the same sentence, stay away from me, and don't use your ability, try to live an ordinary life!" ”
As he was talking, Sun Yi's shout came from the hall: "It's started, it's started, Ma Le, where is Yu Xiaoning, and that, your name is ...... Liu Qi, right, what are you doing standing in the air conditioner, it's not too cold! ”
"Here's it, go right now!" Ma Le agreed from afar, but Yu Xiaoning looked at his tall back, but there was an indescribable bitter feeling. When she read the thoughts of Liu Qi, who was pestering her, she was quite surprised, although the "Chief Horse" said very much, he actually really cared about her. Since then, every time Yu Xiaoning posts on Weibo and updates the status of the space, he secretly thinks that maybe Ma Le is paying attention to him in front of the computer somewhere, or at least, he is inquiring about his latest movements from Liu Qi......
But now, when Yu Xiaoning saw Ma Le again, stood in front of him and joked with him, feeling that he could restore the joyful atmosphere before, this man did not let go at all, and was still unwilling to accept her. Although, this reason was indeed for her good, why couldn't he express it in a more gentle way?
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoning felt that her nose was a little sour, and her eyes were faintly moist. At this moment, the tall figure in front of him turned his head and said in that casual and stiff tone: "By the way, Xiao Ning, although I hope you forget about superpowers, but if you are really involved in a superpower incident one day, remember to call my brother, and my brother will help you as soon as possible!" With that, the tall man turned around and walked out of the hallway.
Yu Xiaoning was a little stunned, although Ma Le's words were simple, they touched the soft place in her heart. Yu Xiaoning felt that the sourness in her heart was swept away, replaced by full of relief and satisfaction, but despite the change in mentality, tears still flowed down uncontrollably. She wiped her tears vigorously, looked at Ma Le's distant back, and rushed up with a smile.
Ma Le worked with these part-time college students to move tables and chairs, clean the stage, and worked for more than an hour to finally complete the decoration of the venue. A beautiful singer sat on a stool in the center of the stage with a guitar and began to play and sing songs to Mike, and gradually, the crowd gathered around the stage to watch the excitement, and many people saw the huge advertisement on the stage background and signed up for the King of Food competition.
By the way, Liu Qi has come to his senses, and it seems that Yu Xiaoning has cleared part of his memory, completely eliminating his hostility towards Ma Le. But the poor fellow had a complete cold, and was sitting in the corner of the auditorium shivering around a thick blanket.
At noon, the competition finally officially began, a total of more than 40 contestants, every group of five, the food eaten is weighed, determined to weigh the same two plates of fried rice, each has a timekeeper by the side in time, and so all groups of competitions are completed, according to the length of time, the fastest two are selected to enter the finals.
Ma Le was one of the timekeepers, and he stood on the stage with a movable hat and a lowered brim to hide most of his face. He is in charge of the No. 2 table, and in the first round, a big fat man of high tonnage came up, looking at his physique, at least three hundred pounds! Two plates of dry fried rice, if you let ordinary people eat, even if you can eat it, it generally takes more than ten minutes, and if you deliberately speed it up, it will take at least four or five minutes. But the heavyweight of Ma Le Timekeeping is obviously not an ordinary person, and in less than a minute after the host gave the order, he pulled the first plate of fried rice steak clean!
The big fat man put down the empty plate in his hand, stuffed the unfinished food in his mouth, and picked up the second plate. Just when Ma Le thought that the big fat man had a chance to win, the host suddenly announced loudly: "It's really amazing, this gentleman at table 5 has eaten it all, and it only took 53 seconds!" ”
