Playoffs

"Bai Liu--!!!"

The door to the room was slammed open, Mu Sicheng rushed in furiously and lifted Bai Liu up repeatedly to make sure there was no problem before he let out a long breath and collapsed onto the sofa in a state of exhaustion, "...... It's good that you aren't hurt."

"I told you Bai Liu is fine." Tang Er, who followed, explained helplessly, "You're the only one of us who came out with injuries."

Noticing Bai Liu's inquiring gaze, Liu Jiayi made an OK gesture: "Don't worry about this guy, I've already healed his wounds in the game, he's alive and kicking."

Mu Ke closed the door with a smile, and when he saw Spades sitting in front of Bai Liu, the smile on his face stopped for a moment, and then he sat down as usual: "What about Georgia?"

Bai Liu truthfully explained to the team the whole process of getting soul bills.

"So that's it." Mu Ke seemed to realize, "No wonder Georgia reacted so well."

"This can totally be considered as a cheated soul bill, right?" Liu Jiayi spat breathlessly, "And Bai Liu you really like to cheat children, cheating Georgia who trusted you so much, won't your conscience hurt?"

"It was a little bit." Bai Liu honestly spreads his hands, "but at the moment he said he would send his good friend gold, the conscience suddenly disappeared and there was no way for it to hurt."

Liu Jiayi: "......"

What a frankly shameless man!

"But that's not an option." Tang Er enquired, his temples jutting and he rubbed them while his head ached, "Georgia's in charge of the third bureau, his soul bills aren't that easy to come by, Bai Liu."

"What's wrong with that?" Mu Sicheng didn't feel anything at all, he leaned back on the sofa, relaxed, took an apple, tossed it twice and held it in his mouth, one foot crossed on the coffee table and spoke arrogantly, "Taking it is taking it, what else can he do to us!"

Bai Liu calmly swept a glance at Mu Sicheng's feet on his coffee table, "Put them down."

"...... Oh." Mu Sicheng honestly put down, holding an apple to eat, the tone is arrogant, "Big deal, just a fight, they are just defeated!"

"It's possible in the game." Tang Er hit his head and explained seriously, "But not in reality."

"In addition to the power of the Heresy Handling Bureau's Third Bureau, Georgia was also Gurolen's Wang Zi, and although Gurolen is now sunk, he still has a lot of political power left in him that he can call upon, and as far as I can tell, he can arm the Third Bureau to the standards of national defense, and he trains the members of the Third Bureau in the same way that he trains classified informants. "

"The fact that he was able to get his hands on all this armed equipment and cultivate the Third Bureau, an airtight warehouse of heretical stashes in a world where information circulates, speaks volumes about him."

Mu Sicheng listened with a gradually heavy expression, his chewing mouth slowly not moving, "Is ...... that scary?"

"Not only that." Tang Er fights an inexorable sigh, "Georgia has money on her hands that even we at the Heresy Authority don't know the amount of."

"I've only heard about it, Georgia is rich as hell, he had a very sizable amount of gold on hand back in the day, but we all assumed that refurbishing the three bureaus, building the floating islands and arming the three bureaus would be enough to spend his savings, but judging from what Su Yang has been telling us back lately, that's not the case."

"Su Yang said Georgia also helped reimburse an expense for five buildings, which is no small amount, and the fact that Georgia could take it out so easily shows that he still has savings on hand."

"Why can he be so rich?!" Mu Sicheng was incredulous, "He's only a few years older than me, right, does it make sense to be so rich?!"

"Few people can readily come up with such a huge sum of money, not even my family can easily come up with ...... " Mu Ke thought wistfully, "This amount of money reminds me of an organization. "

Bai Liu looks over, "What organization?"

Mu Ke replied, "Land of Gold Trade Bank."

"Thank you uncle, ah, inquiring about this bank is because I'm suddenly a bit interested in the bank's president, I heard that he's a young and talented man, and I'd like to meet him if I have the chance." Mu Ke said to the phone with a smile in his voice, "Recently, I also have the idea of making a business, it would be good if I can develop my network."

A loud and bright laugh came from the opposite side: "It's good that junior has ideas, but the creator of this bank is not even available for us to meet, so I'm sorry if I can't help you with the introduction."

"Nothing nothing." Mu Ke smiles, "Just getting to know."

"To say that I understand, I do know something about it." The opposite party pondered for a while and spoke in a sighing tone, "It is said to be a young man with a big background."

"Ten years ago, there was a mysterious gold trading organization, near the Guro Sea, this organization traded a large amount of gold outwards, with a reasonable gold price and pure gold mines, it was considered a big trader of gold exports all over the world, but no one ever found the exact location of this organization, and then one day, this organization suddenly disappeared."

"Then not long after that, a young man appeared at a bank, he brought in a large amount of gold, used the gold as collateral to acquire many banks that were about to go bankrupt, and then used the gold as the bank's inventory to establish the Land of Gold Trade Bank - this bank only accepts gold as the general equivalent for everyone to for trade, and the security is ridiculously tight, and there's never a situation where the trade goods are lost, so many bigwigs love to use this bank as an intermediary office, and will also store all their family assets here."

"It's also one of the largest and most famous trade banks in the world."

"But your family's business, it seems like less of it goes through this bank, so why the sudden curiosity about this?"

Mu Ke smiled and snorted over, "I've been preparing to develop the overseas trade market a bit lately."

"Quite." The opposite party smiled cheerfully, "I'll be waiting for your good news then."

Mu Ke hung up the phone and turned his head to the group of people waiting beside him, "It's basically certain that the creator of this bank, should be Georgia correct."

Tang Er struck a somewhat strange expression as he swept a glance at Bai Liu, who was in deep thought next to him.

...... It turns out that this bank was established by Georgia.

In the previous world line where Georgia became a member of Bai Liu's team, there was also a bank that cooperated with Bai Liu in smuggling, also using gold as collateral, and that's what Mu Ke used to move the smuggled heretics - Bai Liu collected the heretics, Mu Ke found the merchants, and Daniel provided protection along the way - it's a total one-stop shop. The bank set up by Georgia provides the medium of exchange, and Daniel provides protection for the arms along the way - it's a complete one-stop-shop!

No wonder it's growing so fast!

"Isn't the head of such a bank ......" Bai Liu rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "very rich?"

"Yes." Mu Ke nods, "If Georgia really is the creator of this bank, then I can totally understand him coming up with that kind of money."

"And if I have his soul, won ...... t I" Bai Liu s tone gradually became meaningless.

Spades stared at him with sharp eyes, "Your lust for him is spilling out again!"

Bai Liu: "......"

Two days later.

The moment the phone alarm went off, Bai Liu reached out to press it, and was held back and pinned by Spades, who hadn't even opened his eyes yet; he held Bai Liu's hand and took the phone away, his voice a bit lazy: "...... There's no game today, sleep."

Bai Liu struggles to get up from Spades' arms and reaches for his cell phone, but Spades rolls over on his back and buries his head in Bai Liu's shoulder, biting it, and Bai Liu hisses.

Spades voice was muffled, "...... It's cold, don't get up, sleep some more."

Bai Liu's chest was tight from the pressure, and he pushed Spades, who didn't move at all, realizing that this meant that if he didn't stay in bed with this lizard, this lizard would never let himself get up easily.

"If you want to stay in bed, then say stay in bed properly." Bai Liu eventually gave up the action as he looked at the ceiling, his tone calm, "Who taught you to say bedridden when you're cold?"

Spades this lizard's body temperature is on the cold side, before sometimes rolled to the floor to sleep for the night is fine, he is more accustomed to the ice cold, although it is true that the weather is getting colder day by day, but Spades, this for the cold has no sense of the body of the guy, can not detect this change in the weather, naturally, will not say, it is cold, I want to stay in bed this kind of words.

This kind of is usually this lizard see around certain people, after learning, used to cheat Bai Liu bed-wetting words.

Spades paused, "...... Lu Yizhan says being cold eliminates the need to get up early."

Bai Liu has learned.

Sure enough, it's Lu Yizhan.

This man is so spoiled for the people he taught growing up, what a mess he is teaching.

--Bai Liu, who was also spoiled to the point of not liking to get up early at all, thought so calmly.

Bai Liu from the university into the community that year, for him the least favorite thing, is to get up early to go to work, especially in the winter, his work or work time is relatively relaxed 8:30 to 9:00 in the game industry, but Bai Liu rented a remote house, every day consumed in the subway or public transportation commuting time will be an hour and a half, Bai Liu is a do not like to be late, do not like to buy breakfast outside people (mainly poor and expensive to eat out), so he usually have to get up at 6:00 or 7:00 to make a breakfast to catch a subway to arrive just 8:30 a. m. Bai Liu is a person who doesn't like to be late and doesn't like to buy breakfast outside (mainly because he is poor and eating out is expensive), so he usually wakes up at 6 or 7am, makes breakfast, catches the subway, and arrives at 8:30am.

In summer, it's fine, but in winter, the moment you leave the blanket and all the heat dissipates, even someone like Bai Liu, who would risk his life for money, would sincerely ask himself at that moment---.

--For a couple hundred bucks full time, do I really want to get up now?

Winter always comes extra early and cold in Mirror City.

Sometimes Bai Liu would not take the subway in the morning to print out some materials or documents on his way to the office, so he swiped a shared electric bike and rode over there.

Tiny crushed snow fell on Bai Liu's face, he was wearing a scarf and a black overcoat, slightly exhaling a bit of white air, with snow hanging on his eyelashes, with his face, it was actually quite an aesthetic scene, able to reach the level of attracting some female college students to accost them for contact information in a print store.

But usually by that time, Bai Liu has already been frozen to the point of losing any desire at all, he has no waves on his face, his mind is empty, all he wants is to go back and buy a pair of discounted cotton hats and socks, otherwise he will freeze to death on the way to the office tomorrow.

The supervisor who had a lot going on more than likely wouldn't give him any worker's comp.

In his first year of work, before Fang Dian's accident, Bai Liu lived a less cold life.

When winter came and the temperature dropped, Fang Dian and Lu Yizhan would deliver clothes at the right time, send electric blankets, urge him to turn on the air conditioner when he slept at night, and purchase a small electric hot-water bag in his office (which was later censored by his superiors for inspecting illegal electrical appliances).

Fang Dian and Lu Yizhan have the keys to his rental house, in Bai Liu's words - the company bought him personal accident insurance, you as the beneficiary, if I die in the rental house, you have to be the first to come over to collect my body.

The tone of voice was as if he had frozen to death in the rental house.

Fang Dian laughed and scolded him for his bad luck. Lu Yizhan often opened the stove on Bai Liu's side of the house, usually when Bai Liu was off duty and went back at eight or nine o'clock, and when he pushed open the door, there was a steaming hot meal and a warm room, with the sound of popularity and conversation overflowing. She would sometimes have a drink, and when she was half-drunk, she would grab Bai Liu by the shoulder and yell at his stupid boss for checking on his electrical violations.

Because no one else was investigated, only Bai Liu's was.

But after Fang Dian's accident, such unseasonably cold winters came to an abrupt end, and Bai Liu wouldn't allow Lu Yizhan and the others to come over.

After Bai Liu had almost gotten used to the cold winter alone, Spades began to show up every night, taking over his bed and sleeping with him in his arms.

And then Bai Liu is even colder, because Spades is cold and must be held to sleep, the electric blanket on the hottest temperature for a night does not give strength, sometimes Bai Liu will have to use some adult methods to Spades this guy's energy consumption, and then pushed him to the side of the bed to sleep himself.

But usually the day before, Bai Liu's own energy has been completely consumed by Spades, and Spades is still full of energy, so he will still be woken up by Spades holding him the next day.

So even though Bai Liu doesn't work anymore, he still wakes up at 6:00 a.m. on the dot every day.

"It's not an alarm clock." Bai Liu tapped Spades on the shoulder to get out of the way, "It's Lu Yizhan's call, let me take it."

Spades paused, dawdled and moved away, and Bai Liu braced himself to get to the phone - by this time it was the third time Lu Yizhan had called, and if it wasn't urgent, Lu Yizhan wouldn't have called so early to wake him up.

Bai Liu wearing loose pajamas, from Spades above when the neckline shook a little, can clearly see the traces left inside, Spades' hands did not move to grasp Bai Liu's waist, Bai Liu quickly covered the man became staring eyes, calmly refused: "No, get up, last night has already overdone it. "No, get up, I've already overdone it last night.

Meanwhile, the phone calls for the fourth time, and Bai Liu picks up, "What's up?"

"Did you just get up?" Lu Yizhan spoke apologetically, but soon became anxious again, "Did you watch the news on TV?!"

Bai Liu gave a warning glance at Spades, whose hand was still reaching into his shirt, while answering Lu Yizhan: "No, what's wrong?"

"Eh, it's that Gurolun thing, didn't you help them settle the deal, then they floated up from under the surface and came back to the surface." Lu Yizhan head earth explains, "Good thing this matter was not seen by anyone except a few people from the Heresy Handling Bureau, the previous Gurolun has been a very secretive and low-profile country because it was hidden by Bai Liu, everyone knows about the existence of this country, but few people know the geographic location of this country."

"But after returning above the sea yesterday, because the deal was aborted, Gurolen no longer had a way to hide it, and it came right out in the open."

Bai Liu held up his cell phone as he dressed with one hand, his tone calm, "Well, then what?"

"And then now all the international news outlets are reporting on this country that has suddenly appeared, and there are already a lot of people connecting this country to the one that supplied the gold before." Lu Yizhan sighs, "They realize that Gurolon is rich in minerals, and because of that, many countries are trying to establish diplomatic relations with Gurolon."

"There's no more gold in Gurolon now, but there's still a lot of rare minerals, and Georgia behind them, still a worthy subject."

"And Georgia's soul is in my hands." Bai Liu had an epiphany. "He came to my country?"

"Yes." Lu Yizhan had a headache, "Although it's in the name of a private visit, Georgia is also Wang Zi, the head of the three bureaus, and I heard that he's also the founder of some bank, no matter which one I can't stop him, and he asked you by name to receive him, and he should be arriving in the afternoon."

"Even if he is Wang Zi, he should not have the right to ask me, a laid-off employee, to entertain him, right?" Bai Liu was not straight, "I'm just a laid-off employee."

"Right." Lu Yizhan's tone was sultry, "But who made you say you were someone's best friend?"

"Georgia says he traveled all the way across the ocean specifically to meet his soul mate, so it's a private outing that only a few insiders know about at the moment."

"They're all soul-best friends, it's normal to receive them, don't you think so, Bai Liu?"

Bai Liu: "......"

...... Since Georgia has said so, will he bring gold over to him ......

Spades sat on the bed, he and Bai Liu locked eyes, the sleepy lizard's eyes instantly iced over, "Your eyes ......"

"There is desire."

Bai Liu calmly hung up the phone, "Because I just got groped by you and kind of want to do it."

Spades was a bit aggressive in the morning, he seemed to realize what was going on, and followed Bai Liu very coldly all morning, as if he was going to play on the league field, Mu Sicheng came over and was shocked to see Spades' indifferent but inexplicably murderous eyes.

"What's going on here??" Mu Sicheng looked incomprehensibly at Spades, who was standing in the doorway with a murderous look on his face as if he was preparing to assassinate someone, his head filled with question marks, "Spades, what is guarding the door for?"

Liu Jiayi stared at Spades with amusement for a moment, "We're in for a treat."

Tang Er and Mu Ke are in the study discussing things with Bai Liu.

"Georgia came over." Tang Er hit said helplessly, "Although I also knew it was a matter of course, I really didn't expect it to be so fast."

"Do you have a strategy for dealing with it?"

Bai Liu was calm: "There's nothing to deal with."

"He won't do anything."

"Also." Mu Ke pondered seriously, "The soul is already in Bai Liu's hands, the initiative is on our side, the other party should not dare to act rashly."

"Of course if the other party really wants to do something unfavorable to Bai Liu." Mu Ke smiled a gentle smile and said jokingly, "--or else we can still tear up the ticket."

Tang Er typed: "......"

He always thought Mu Ke wasn't joking.

"It won't come to that." Bai Liu lifted his cup and took a sip of water, saying slowly, "Captain Georgia's a good man, he wouldn't do anything that crosses the line like that."

Tang Er hit looked at Mu Ke and Bai Liu, the two riddle-players, and sighed, "Count me as overthinking, it's best if nothing happens."

"But Bai Liu, Spades what do you do with him, he's too hostile to Georgia and doesn't act with as much discipline as normal people, if he does something and is taken as an assassin for the Crown Prince, this guy will be wanted."

Bai Liu's hand that picked up the cup stopped, and he spoke with some rare bitterness, "...... I actually don't quite understand why he's hostile to Georgia."

"I don't really like Georgia, or more accurately, I just like him."

"But Spades might not think so?" Tang Er hit inexplicably felt like he was choking on a big mouthful of dog food as he gruelingly offered advice based on his barren-to-no relationship experience, "You talk to him?"

"But I don't know how to talk to him either." Bai Liu scratches her chin with a studied expression, "Is that what it's called, not giving the other person enough security in a relationship?"

Tang Er fought hard to answer, "Maybe?"

"But usually there's a trigger for this kind of situation." Mu Ke, who also has no experience in relationships, calmly analyzes, "Did you do something to make Spades uneasy?"

Bai Liu was deep in thought, "Let's see ......"

A kind of gruesome scene formed in the house!

--Two people with no relationship experience are imparting relationship tips to the only person in the room with relationship experience.

And the man actually listened!

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Spades and the others are sitting in the house, and Bai Liu has gone to the airport to pick them up.

The expressions on everyone's faces were stony, with Spades in particular, expressionless and murderous-eyed, sitting upright on the couch in the formal attire Bai Liu had given him to change into before he went out, looking quite consistent with his guild's name - assassins.

Even Mu Ke, who was as calm as he was, was a little fidgety by the end of the day.

In the game that feeling wasn't obvious, but in reality, the oppressive feeling of Georgia status simply multiplied several times over.

The Crown Prince, a real Crown Prince, even Mu Ke, who had seen many occasions, was meeting the Crown Prince face to face for the first time, and he simply didn't know how Bai Liu managed to keep his composure.

Bai Liu also went downstairs to eat a bowl of beef noodles before leaving, called Lu Yizhan to ask if Georgia would reimburse him for the taxi fare to the airport, and only took the taxi after confirming the reimbursement, which was so calm that even Mu Ke couldn't believe it.

Mu Sicheng paralyzed on the couch absentmindedly swiped his cell phone, swiping it for a moment before tossing it away in annoyance.

On my phone, no matter what app, it's all about the Gurolum present.

When this ancient golden country, which has never been seen in the world, finally came into existence, their Wang Zi was of course rightfully the center of attention - young, handsome, from a distinguished and noble family, and a low-profile and mysterious person, all the media were frantically seeking photos of Wang Zi, and everyone was talking about this pair of Wang Zi, who have not been seen until now. All the media are frantically seeking photos of Wang Zi.

And no one knew that Wang Zi was about to show up at Bai Liu's rented house.

Mu Sicheng annoyingly turned the phone over, face down - what Wang Zi Wang Zi, is just a defeatist of his!

And even thinking that, that weird feeling of grumpiness lingered - the one he had fought with before, the one who was so high and mighty, was actually really a Wang Zi?

This is outrageous!

Can this kind of person be Wang Zi's too!

"Ding Dong--!"

The door to the room slammed and Bai Liu's voice came from outside the door, "You guys come in and change your shoe covers, the house was just mopped."

There was a long interval before Armand's gritted voice came through, "...... got it."

"Armand, don't be rude." Georgia's cold reprimand comes in, then after a moment of silence, Georgia's softly inviting voice comes in, "May I ask Mr. Bai Liu, shoe covers, what are they?"

The group of people waiting to greet them inside the door: "......"

I don't know why, but the tension is suddenly gone.

The door was opened from the outside, and Lu Yizhan's helpless face appeared, "Don't bully the other country Wang Zi ah Bai Liu, the other party comes to the door as a guest, you are a little bit of the proprietor's demeanor, okay."

Bai Liu did not move to avert his eyes, "...... It's not like I took the initiative to invite them to be my guests."

The implication was that since the other party was not a guest invited by me, it was fine for me not to fulfill the proprietor's demeanor.

Lu Yizhan: "......"

Bai Liu, you can be more childish.

Lu Yizhan was afraid that Bai Liu would cause trouble, so he sacrificed his only day off this week to accompany Bai Liu to pick up the plane. Of course, Lu Yizhan, as Georgia's friend and someone she respects very much, should have received him as his first time as a guest.

But why ...... why is this the day!

Lu Yizhan wept in his heart - today was the day that he and Fang Dian had decided to go to choose their wedding paraphernalia, he had been looking forward to it for a long time, and then Georgia suddenly came, and all of that was out of the question.

Fang Dian is very understanding, a wave of the hand, smiling, went to the kindergarten to help on duty, but Lu Yizhan heart attack to the present, can not be released.

I don't even want to receive any Wang Zi or save the world, I just want to get married!

Let me get married!

Lu Yizhan was in tears.

The reception for Georgia was initially scheduled to be at the Heresy Treatment Bureau, but after Georgia pointed out that he was visiting on a personal basis and just wanted to see the local area, there was something to be said for avoiding it-it would have to be a visit to a friend's house.

One could even say that Georgia is here for Bai Liu.

Lu Yizhan actually understands Bai Liu's displeasure. Bai Liu is a person with a strong sense of personal territory, and people with normal relationships would be very resistant to having their door knocked on, or knocked on without a greeting, but who asked this guy to cheat people out of their souls? Lu Yizhan can also fully understand that Georgia is coming straight at Bai Liu, he is carrying too many things on his back, and after having his soul taken away, he can't simply quit the Heresy Bureau like Tang Er did, or give up his guild like Heart did.

Nor can you entrust the responsibility to Bai Liu as you do.

Georgia is a crown prince, after all.

Lu Yizhan thought of that Georgia who knelt in front of him ten years ago, tilting his head and begging not to erase his memory, and sighed in his heart, looking towards Bai Liu's back as he walked through the door.

...... Georgia isn't a bad guy, let's hope both sides can have a good conversation.

Lu Yizhan followed Bai Liu through the door, and he turned, reaching out in a friendly manner to signal the two men behind him to come in, "No need to be formal, please come in."

"Chatter." Georgia bowed her head slightly, he was dressed in an obviously well chosen outfit with embroidered patterns on the cuffs and waistline, but it didn't clash too much with his own style, and the gold hairpiece on his head had been replaced with a light tasseled textured knot, so it was obvious that he had put in the effort to learn about the culture of this place, and he looked aristocratic and courteous.

"Where are the shoe covers, please?"

Georgia asks, and Armand comes in after him, looking a little tighter than Georgia, dressed a little more juvenile than Georgia, his arms and legs gathered up like some kind of chivalrous martial arts pants, his hair ornamented with a small, dangling jade fan, his eyes repulsed, his lips pursed.

"Excuse me."

"No shoe covers." Lu Yizhan laughed and cried as he watched Georgia seriously look down for her shoe covers, "I've got slippers for you."

Bai Liu swept his eyes and found that Armand and Georgia, the two customers, had neatly arranged their shoes after changing out of them, and even Georgia had helped him to arrange other people's shoes, which gave him goosebumps, even for a shameless person like him.

That's a very polite attitude to say the least.

Isn't ...... a bit much?

Noticing Lu Yizhan's condemning gaze, Bai Liu finally straightened up, showing some proprietor's demeanor, and coughed lightly, "What would you like to eat tonight?"

Georgia and Armand sat down on the couch in an orderly fashion, Georgia with her hands on her knees, looking up at Bai Liu in a serious, solemn manner:

"No need to break the bank."

"I looked up the common foods here and learned some recipes, so if you don't mind, please let me cook."

The room was silent, everyone was frozen.

Even Lu Yizhan's expression changed to, "......=mouth=."

I can't believe I've endured this much humiliation, Georgia!

Lu Yizhan explained a little awkwardly, "Georgia, we don't usually have guests cooking on our side."

Georgia coughed very slightly as he noticed the stares of the others, and he seemed a little embarrassed as he clenched his hands, but still explained coldly:

"...... In Gurolen, when we go out to a friend's house, we never let our friends cook, it's always the guest who cooks."

"Gurolum is a closed land, very few people can go out, and for that reason, very few Gurolums can make friends from the outside, and those Gurolums who can go out are very happy to have friends who can get good food from them, and bright gold, and everything that is good in the world, the Gurolums are willing to share it with their friends."

Georgia looked up at Bai Liu:

"-including the soul."

"I have come here with no hostile intent, just to meet you and negotiate something."

"I beg your indulgence for not informing you before coming."

Bai Liu leaned against the door with his chest hugged, his eyes downcast and Georgia stared at him calmly for a moment before he spoke, "What kind of cooking do you do?"

Georgia's demeanor became slightly constricted as he straightened his back, coughed lightly, and reported softly as if he were talking about some list of red dangerous heretics, "...... Mapo tofu, boiled pork slices, steamed sea bass, and a few veggies."

"...... all learned in the last couple days from reading recipes, not too much."

Armand added stiffly, "I can make scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

Mu Sicheng let out a snort of laughter, Armand's hateful eyes then looked over, and he said, annoyed and vicious, "--and egg fried rice!"

Bai Liu faintly swept a glance at Mu Sicheng, warning him to be more restrained, Mu Sicheng turned his head away, covering his mouth to hold back the laughter to hold back the stomach ache.

Help! How can someone report egg fried rice as the name of a dish!

Seeing that Bai Liu heard the name and didn't say anything, Georgia lowered her voice and asked softly, "Don't you have a favorite dish?"

"I don't hate it either." Bai Liu finally showed a little smile, "Thank you for coming as a guest, it's also my first time to receive a friend without rules, I hope you won't be offended."

Noticing Bai Liu's softened attitude, Georgia also brought out a smile on his face, his light brown eyes inexplicably softened a lot, "It's also my first time to come to a friend's house as a guest, so I hope you won't take offense."

Bai Liu spread his hands, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do, we don't have the sense to let our guests labor all afternoon to cook a big dish here, our side is usually the host cooks."

He grinned, "Ever had fondue?"

"Fondue?" Georgia asked suspiciously in return, "It seems to be a very difficult dish, and it is said that the base must be boiled two or three days in advance."

"No need to go through that much trouble, nowadays it's all ready-made hot pot base products." Bai Liu shrugged, "But even so, I'm not good at making this, I usually go out to eat."

"But it's not very convenient to go out for fondue in your honor, so let's make it at home."

Armand's suspicious and alert gaze went to Bai Liu as he narrowed his eyes, "You know such complicated dishes?"

-- Bai Liu This guy doesn't look like he knows how to cook, and the food in their country is so difficult to cook, can the hot pot made by this guy really be eaten?

It took him two days to learn how to make even a scrambled egg with tomatoes!

Bai Liu smiles, "I didn't do it."

Noticing Bai Liu's sweeping gaze, Lu Yizhan: "......"
