Chapter 26 First Use
The two stood by the roadside, Li Yuqin covering her mouth and laughing.
Lu Shi seemed somewhat helpless, as he couldn't escape these three dates no matter what.
The two exchanged a glance and then laughed, dispelling the awkward atmosphere.
"Looks like we'll have to eat today after all," Li Yuqin said, stopping her laughter but with a smile still lingering in her eyes.
"Eat up," Lu Shi said with a smile, showing that he had also become somewhat interested in Li Yuqin.
The other party may have gone further than him in the field of metaphysics. In this case, it is not a bad thing to befriend them.
Life is more than just dating, and romance is not the entirety of life.
If a relationship is only about romance, then it falls into a lower category.
What matters is what you can learn and what you can gain from these relationships.
At least that's what Lu Shi thinks for now. Li Yuqin seems to be a seasoned metaphysical ability user, and she has a good personality.
Building good relationships with others is called networking.
I turned and walked into the pedestrian street.
The pedestrian street is bustling with people, lined with various shops and numerous food stalls on both sides.
Li Yuqin turned her head to look at Lu Shi, then asked, "Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
"Let's gather our opinions and then choose one that both sides can accept."
Lu Shi paused, stopped in his tracks, and looked at a huge sign on one side.
"You...eat bullfrogs?"
Ten minutes later, the solid alcohol was ignited, and then the iron basin was placed between the two people.
The flavor of perilla, combined with its spicy and savory aroma, made the frog die in peace.
Once you get over that initial hurdle, you'll find that bullfrogs are truly delicious.
The meat is firm and tender, with a spicy flavor that penetrates deep into the meat's texture.
It was served with standard plum juice, which was sweet and sour and not bad.
"Let me make sure you're not interested in dating, right?" Li Yuqin picked up a piece of meat, quickly finished it, and then began to ask Lu Shi about his thoughts on the blind date arranged by Sister Xu.
"Yes, I don't want to date anyone." Lu Shi clearly expressed his thoughts at this time.
"That's good." Li Yuqin smiled after hearing Lu Shi's reply. She picked up her plum juice and took a sip. Even though the lighting in the store wasn't very good, she looked exceptionally radiant.
"After all, Aunt Xu watched me grow up, so I really can't refuse her." Li Yuqin also felt very troubled by Sister Xu's sudden blind date.
"But don't misunderstand, I don't mean to say you're bad." After saying that, Li Yuqin realized that her actions were a bit exaggerated, so she immediately added, "It's just that I have a lot of things to do right now, and dating is too much trouble."
"Then we've reached an agreement." Lu Shi smiled.
Although he doesn't plan to date, he has a strong liking for girls like Li Yuqin.
Speak your mind, be simple and unpretentious.
Most importantly—the other person has good taste.
When Lu Shi mentioned bullfrogs, she immediately thought of the perilla bullfrogs from this place.
"Mmm." Li Yuqin smiled and picked up another huge bullfrog leg, with red oil and some Sichuan peppercorns on it.
However, she seemed not to see the peppercorns on top, and put them in her mouth along with the fruit, showing them off as if they were lightning nuts.
At this moment, Lu Shi felt deep admiration.
Sichuan peppercorns are a good seasoning, but only if they are not on food and eaten together.
The meal was quite enjoyable. Both of them are food lovers and exchanged ideas about exploring the culinary delights of Changshi.
For example, Li Yuqin recommended a place with incredibly delicious stir-fried snails.
Lu Shi knew of a farm that had free-range chickens and reservoir fish.
The two agreed to go out for a meal together next time they had time, and become dining buddies.
As for other things, we can talk about anything under the sun, but many things, once said, leave no trace and are merely side dishes to the meal.
After they finished eating and drinking, the two split the bill, and Sister Xu showed no intention of showing up again.
Clearly, Sister Xu was deliberately creating opportunities for the two of them to be alone.
Li Yuqin was about to say something when her phone rang.
The phone ringtone sounded very familiar, and Lu Shi quickly identified its name—Night Voyager.
It seems to be music derived from "The Three-Body Problem".
Li Yuqin took a couple of steps away, whispered something, and then hung up the phone.
"I was thinking of going to have a bite at a pretty good snack shop here with you, but something came up."
"It's okay, go ahead and get busy." Lu Shi showed his phone, where he had already received a WeChat message from Li Yuqin: "I'll let you know if there's anything good to eat."
Seeing this, Li Yuqin smiled, hailed a taxi, said goodbye to Lu Shi, and left.
Lu Shi's eyes flickered for a moment, then he turned around and looked at the bustling pedestrian street. As various thoughts changed in his mind, he saw a 'street photographer' holding a camera.
The street photographer, with long hair and a goatee, stood on this side of the pedestrian street, raised his camera, and began taking pictures.
The camera lenses are mostly aimed at young women.
Often, he would simply raise his camera and gesture to the other person, without waiting for their consent, before starting to take pictures.
Even though some women clearly refused, he still kept taking pictures.
It has a kind of attitude that says, "You people don't do art, so you're inferior, but I'm superior, so I can do anything."
Lu Shi was slightly moved when he saw this scene.
The power of the "failed New Year's Eve" effect was amplified in the scheduling.
The [Blood Calamity], which could originally cause fluctuations in the degree of erosion, became invisible at this moment.
Lu Shi began to emit a blood-red color, but the corrosion level on the watch did not change at all.
After a moment's thought, Lu Shi immediately took action.
Blood shot out and landed on the street photographer.
Then, Lu Shi made a slight thought and controlled the crimson figure to fly towards several sources of danger in the vicinity.
The situation changed the next moment for the street photographer.
"I told you to stop taking pictures, are you deaf?" A woman threw her bag at the street photographer.
Street photographers are very experienced at dealing with this kind of thing; they say they don't understand art while backing away.
However, at that very moment, he stepped on a landmine in the modern city—there was water under the loose brick.
A stream of muddy, murky sewage was kicked up and squeezed, then landed on the street photographer's trouser leg and flowed into his shoes through the gaps.
It was wet and sticky, yet with a slight gritty, frictional feel.
This was arguably the worst experience imaginable.
The street photographer instinctively frowned, put down his camera, and looked down to check the condition of his feet.
The woman's swung bag came in a second round, hitting him squarely in the face.
Caught off guard, he felt a sudden dizziness and fell to one side.
At that very moment, a GG standee placed in a shop on the street was blown down by the wind.
