Komatsu's Love Defense

I tried my best to control the cotton-like softness on my feet and tried to adjust my stride and posture so that my walking would look like normal walking.

I reached out and gently pressed the elevator button. With a crisp "ding" sound, the elevator door slowly opened. I was the first to step into the elevator, then turned around and showed a gentle smile to everyone.

Others followed me into the elevator, and as the elevator gradually and steadily rose, I suddenly felt a wet feeling on my cheek, as if something had touched me lightly.

I turned my head in confusion, only to see Sunny staring at me with a smug look on his face. What's worse, Sunny's sense of touch began to become restless, and he began to explore my clothes more and more boldly.

I couldn't help but glare at him fiercely, my cheeks flushed with shyness, and I was secretly angry. How could this guy be so unscrupulous? And in front of so many people!

The corners of Sunny's eyes slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible hint of playfulness and complacency, as if he had done it on purpose.

Finally, the elevator slowly reached the top floor. When the elevator door opened, I stepped out of the elevator quickly without hesitation, fearing that if I stayed for another second, Sunny would tease me more and more, making it even more unbearable for me.

I led everyone into the restaurant, and after everyone was seated, I turned and walked towards the kitchen.

I gently pushed open the kitchen door, and a strong aroma hit me in the face. It was the aroma of the century-old soup that I spent a lot of time and energy to carefully cook.

I carefully dripped the precious saliva of the Walleye penguins into the soup. Suddenly, a miracle happened. A beautiful and dreamlike scene appeared in the soup! The colorful aurora danced lightly in the bowl, like fairies dancing, which was intoxicating.

Then, I poured all the steaming soup from the pot into the bowls, carefully arranged the tableware, covered the bowls with lids, and finally pushed the food cart to deliver the bowls of soup that everyone was looking forward to.

Ah Lu sat at the dining table, his eyes fixed on the bowl of century soup in front of him that exuded an alluring aroma. His throat slid up and down unconsciously, and saliva was secreted crazily in his mouth.

He could no longer suppress his desire for delicious food, so he closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and said devoutly, "Century Soup, I'm going to eat!"

Everyone opened the lids of their soup bowls at the same time, and in an instant, a brilliant aurora rose from the soup, just like the brilliant light of the aurora shining in the night sky.

Along with the aurora, there is also an extremely rich aroma. The aroma is so unique, blending the essence of several top-quality ingredients, but not conflicting with each other, but complementing each other.

When Ah Lu faced the bowl of fragrant and attractive soup, his eyes instantly became brighter. He took a deep breath, letting the rich aroma penetrate his heart, then gently scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

"This is the real thing, the soup of the century!" Everyone could no longer contain their excitement and picked up soup spoons, carefully scooping up a spoonful of the steaming soup from the bowl.

When the hot and delicious soup slid down their throats, they immediately showed astonishment on their faces. The taste was so complex and varied, with layers of texture and umami jumping on the tip of the tongue, making people almost forget how to breathe.

At that moment, they seemed to be unable to believe that their taste buds were enjoying this feast. A satisfied and happy smile bloomed on their faces, as if all the waiting had turned into sweet fruits, and they savored the mellowness and fragrance of the soup.

However, at that moment, they unconsciously narrowed their eyes and couldn't help but reveal a funny and obscene smile on their faces.

Even Sunny, who always pursues perfection, couldn't control his expression at this moment and looked funny.

I watched as everyone had extremely vulgar smiles on their faces after drinking the Century Soup, and I was filled with confusion: "Big...what's wrong with everyone? Why are they all smiling so vulgarly?"

The system explained to me: "Host, this century soup is made of ancient ingredients. It is so delicious that it is difficult to control one's expression. Originally, the century soup chose Xiaosong, but I found something similar to this century soup in your memory, so the century soup chose Xiaosong and you at the same time!"

It suddenly dawned on me: "So that's how it is. Then let the memory that belongs to me remain in my heart forever..."

Machi's three subordinates couldn't help laughing when they saw everyone's funny smiles: "Hahaha...what kind of expressions are those? Even Team Leader Machi has the same expression..."

"Hahahaha...what weird faces!" The people around were also amused by the funny and weird expressions on each other's faces, and they all laughed out loud.

At this moment, I was also infected by their laughter, and a wave of joy surged in my heart. I couldn't help laughing too, sharing this rare joy and happiness.

Ah Lu wiped away the tears from laughing, pointed at the Century Soup in the bowl and asked me: "Xiao Song, can this Century Soup be put into my Western-style full meal?"

Hearing A Lu say this, my heart suddenly trembled: "Eh? Join Mr. A Lu...your full western meal?"

A Lu nodded seriously, and the sincerity in his eyes made me feel a little overwhelmed.

The electronic voice of the system conveyed the good news: "Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully getting A Lu to add Century Soup to his Western meal, and gaining 5 points of cooking skill. The current cooking skill value is 45 points."

"I agree!" Takimaru raised his hands and loudly agreed to the idea, breaking the silent atmosphere.

I couldn't find words to describe the joy I felt. I could only let my tears flow. "Really? Can you add the soup I cooked... to your menu?"

"Oh, why are you crying? Xiaosong, I begged you to do this! This is the first time I've tasted such a delicious soup!" Seeing that I suddenly burst into tears, A Lu explained eagerly and expressed his hope that I could add this soup to his Western set meal.

However, I didn’t want to tell Ah Lu the deep meaning behind this soup called “Century Soup” because my grandmother once told me that this is a soup that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family.

If you can get the approval and recognition of the person you love, then you two will be able to stay together forever. My parents used to love each other very much. However, after my mother passed away, my father followed soon after, leaving me and my grandmother to depend on each other.

Can this century-old soup really become the bridge between me and A Lu?
