"I told you, do you dare to bet with me, Miss Alice?"
Alice was surprised that this guy had brought up this topic again. She couldn't help but feel strange. Could it be a trap? After all, she wasn't some kind of idiot.
Alice and her husband were frantically trying to figure out if there was something wrong with the situation, but she found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find anything wrong.
Seeing the other person deep in thought, Lin Qi knew he had to use reverse psychology.
"No way? Could it be that the incredibly arrogant second young lady is worried about losing to me? You know, I'm just an unknown nobody in the culinary world."
"As the second young lady of this family, you must have eaten a lot of good food since you were a child. Don't tell me you're afraid that all the delicacies you've eaten since you were a child can't compare to what I make, right?"
Alice suddenly felt that Lin Qi was really annoying. Although she knew that he was using reverse psychology, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.
You should know that I can't stand being provoked, and besides, she doesn't believe the other person's cooking skills are that great.
Putting everything else aside, he had eaten his grandfather's cooking, who was a top chef, so he didn't think Lin Qi could beat him in that respect. Not to mention anything else.
"Hmph! Since you put it that way, I'll take your bet. You should know very well who I am."
"You know, I've eaten a lot of my grandfather's cooking, so I'm just giving you some advice: surrender. Stop thinking about all this nonsense. At your age, you can't possibly be stronger than my grandfather."
Alice then reverted to her spoiled self, crossing her arms and speaking with a sullen expression.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi felt that the girl was too young. However, after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with her having this idea, since he was, after all, an exception.
It's quite normal for the other party to have such thoughts since they don't know him well and have a powerful grandfather.
Lynch replied that it was great that he had this idea.
Erina was wondering when Lin Qi would arrive, but she didn't expect him to be sneaking into her house. She would be furious if she found out.
After all, I was excitedly waiting for the curse to be lifted, but this family was stealing from my own home and poaching my own cousin. Who could tolerate such a situation?
After seeing that the other party had agreed, Lin Qi immediately spoke with a grin:
"make a deal!"
"Let me ask you a question. It's past breakfast time now. Would you like to have breakfast or lunch?"
Alice was a little confused after hearing this. What did this mean?
"It's 9:00 now. If you want to have lunch, we'll start around 11:00. Two hours should be enough for me to prepare some dishes."
"Since I'm here to visit anyway, I might as well treat your grandfather to a meal."
"If you want to eat now, I'll make something that can be done quickly."
Alice hadn't expected this, but after thinking about it for a moment...
"Let's have lunch!"
Alice decided to have lunch.
Lin Qi didn't say anything after hearing this.
"Take me to the kitchen. As for the ingredients, I'll prepare them. You don't need to bother with that."
Alice, intrigued by these words, looked at Lin Qi with a fox-like gaze:
"Oh, Mr. Lin Qi, don't you know where the kitchen is?"
"This is my first time here. We usually meet elsewhere, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Alice immediately covered her mouth, as if she had discovered some incredible secret.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qi was filled with countless question marks, and he couldn't help but blurt out:
What are you suddenly feeling sentimental about?
"Of course I didn't expect you and Erina to choose to secretly meet outside, oh no, I mean, go on a date."
"To be honest, I never expected the other person to be this kind of person."
Alice was stunned at that moment, realizing that she knew absolutely nothing about her cousin, which was a real blunder!
After hearing what the other person said, Lin Qi roughly understood that his unclear expression had caused a misunderstanding.
"Alright, hurry up and take me to the kitchen. I can't wait to become your boyfriend."
Upon hearing this, Alice puffed out her cheeks like a pufferfish and glared at Lin Qi.
"If you lose, don't beg me to let you go."
Alice never actually thought about losing. To be honest, her opponent and Erina were very close, and she was quite free, so she thought it would be a good way to pass the time.
Chapter 132 Alice: This seems pretty exciting.
"Alice, I'd prefer a quiet kitchen where no one can bother me."
"I don't want to be disturbed while I'm cooking; I hate that kind of thing the most."
Alice nodded in agreement upon hearing this, after all, it wasn't something like a special electronic device, and most chefs genuinely dislike being disturbed while cooking.
Alice then spoke up in a cheerful tone:
"Can I watch from the sidelines?"
"Okay, but on one condition: don't make any noise for me."
Upon hearing this, Alice immediately put her hand to her mouth, making a zipper-like motion.
Lin Qi tilted his head and asked:
"There are only three people in total, right?"
"Correct!"
Alice thought about it and agreed.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Qi searched the chat group's shop and found the relevant ingredients, indicating that he could get to work.
After she led him to a relatively quiet kitchen, Lin Qi looked around and couldn't help but ask in a curious tone.
"This must be your private kitchen, right?"
Upon hearing this, Alice readily nodded in agreement, and then looked at Lin Qi with a curious expression, saying:
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"Look around you, everything is quite cutting-edge, and I roughly know what kind of chef you are."
"And if you add a quiet kitchen in a place like this, then it's definitely your private kitchen."
Upon hearing this, Alice immediately gave Lynch a thumbs-up, as if to say she admired him for guessing it.
However, she quickly fell into a state of suspicion.
"Lin Qijun, why do I feel like you know me very well?"
Alice was pretty sure it was the first time she was meeting the other person, and that idiot Erina wouldn't talk to the other person about herself.
So how come the other person seems to know me so well?
Lin Qi couldn't very well say it was because he had watched anime, so he thought for a while and decided to come up with an excuse.
"You're Erina's cousin, and a beautiful girl with white hair, so what's wrong with me getting to know you a little?"
Alice roughly understood what was going on, and immediately said with a smile, "It seems that I am always the center of attention, no matter when."
Anyone else would have called the Spirit Rider a pervert or something, but Alice felt she was being noticed.
Of course, that depends on the person. If she said those words to someone she didn't like or didn't think was a good person, the outcome would be unpredictable.
Lynch then began his work, first creating a large sea bream.
Lynch knew they liked to eat fish, so he prepared sea bream.
When Alice saw this, her mouth formed an "o" shape.
After all, how could he not be surprised to see Lin Qi pull out such a large sea bream out of thin air?
Alice looked at Lin Qi as if she were looking at a wild Doraemon.
However, thinking of her promise to Lin Qi, she chose to keep quiet.
Then, Lin Qi took the kitchen knife in his hand—since this was his place, the knife was extremely sharp—and began to scale the fish.
Alice was completely stunned after watching Lynch's actions.
After all, normally, this kind of knife shouldn't be able to scale fish so perfectly, but Lin Qi just happens to be able to use it so easily. He just can't understand how Lin Qi did it.
After finishing the superficial work, Lin Qi picked up the fish and cut it in two with a knife.
Then he saw that the knife seemed to be enveloped in black flames, and then the flames changed shape, as if small circles were appearing on the knife.
Then Lynch chopped at the fish, and Alice watched a fireworks display of the fish.
Not only that, Lin Qi's next move also broadened her horizons, and she even had the urge to become his apprentice.
After all, she had never seen such knife skills in her life. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have thought it was a movie.
Moreover, in her eyes, apart from the knife deforming at the beginning, Lin Qi's other cooking skills were the most authentic, which meant she could learn them.
Just as she was completely absorbed in watching, Lin Qi suddenly spoke up.
"Alice, please tell the kitchen that they don't need to prepare lunch for you. I forgot to remind you of that."
Alice snapped out of her daze upon hearing this and immediately went to make the contact. After returning, she looked at Lin Qi and suddenly remembered something.
I think I have a bet with the other party. Could I be going to lose this time?
After all, the other party's knife skills were something he had never seen in his life. He even felt that he would never meet anyone with such knife skills in his life except for that other party.
So her good mood vanished instantly, and she turned into a bitter face. After all, if she lost, she would have to become the other person's girlfriend, and the person in front of her was a super womanizer.
And there's a high probability that he really is her proud cousin's boyfriend. But thinking about this gives me a strange thrill. After all, it would probably be a lot of fun to snatch him away.
Alice was caught in a dilemma at this moment...
Lin Qi had no idea that this arrogant guy's nemesis had some ulterior motives. If he had known, he would have wholeheartedly agreed.
How should I put it? Anyway, he's the one who benefits, so what's there to be afraid of?
Lynch was also preparing the food.
Erina was feeling really annoyed. That bastard Lin Qi said he would come and help her lift the curse, but he couldn't be found at all. He wasn't replying to her messages. What was that bastard up to?
Erina had considered going to kill him, but considering that the commoner flag's personality meant he wasn't replying to messages, he was probably up to no good. If she went to kill him, that guy might drag her down with him, and Hisako, who was with her, wouldn't escape either.
