The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

Lu Zhao felt as if half of the sky above his head had collapsed.

Who worked so hard all day, only to be back to where we were before liberation?

Who takes meticulous care of a parrot, only to be called a psychopath?

It’s him, it’s all his fault, he is such a big victim!

Lu Zhao said with a sad face: "Listen to my explanation."

"I heard that parrots need to defecate in a designated place, otherwise they'll poop everywhere after feeding, so..."

"And I've watched it so many times and it hasn't pooped. I'm worried it might have an upset stomach..."

Lu Shi remained expressionless after hearing this, but she felt differently in her heart. She was complaining.

In fact, they didn't have to go into so much detail, as she didn't really like to hear it.

What kind of good person would listen to the previous episode’s gossip about the “reincarnation of grains” right after finishing a meal, fearing that the food would not be digested in the stomach and would have to be vomited out again?

In short, both of them are perverts!

"You all stop talking."

In order to end the topic as soon as possible, Lu Shi directly asked the two to shut up and she would explain the rest.

"Lu Zhao, this parrot is a little special. It's very shy and doesn't like being looked at. So don't worry about it. It will solve the problem on its own."

"It's my fault too. I didn't explain it to you clearly at the time. This parrot is very smart. Apart from taking it in and feeding it, you don't need to worry about it anymore."

Lu Zhao stood up straight like a primary school student who had made a mistake, lowered his head and pouted, "I know."

The bird system finally poked its head out and shook its head at Lu Zhao: "I'm very capable, I can solve it myself!"

Lu Shi patted the bird system's head, reminding it not to be too proud. Didn't it see that Lu Zhao's tears were about to burst out?

She quickly changed the subject, "I heard you moved. Did you move next door to me?"

Lu Zhao sat down next to Lu Shi, and the two of them were so close together that there was almost no gap between them.

"We should cultivate our relationship, right? I've thought about it. You're busy with work, and I don't have much time to rest, so why don't we just live closer to each other? We don't have to waste time traveling to see each other."

"Hehehe...you're so thoughtful." The two of them were too close to each other, so Lu Shi moved to the other side without saying a word. When Lu Zhao looked at him, he put on an uncomfortable fake smile.

It seems that she looks more like a scumbag...

Lu Shi's words seemed to have killed the conversation. The whole world seemed to be paused, and a deathly silence began to spread.

It wasn't until someone broke the peace that the world was repaired and began to operate normally.

"When are you going to make me a regular employee? Will it take a long time?" Lu Zhao suddenly asked, stroking the fabric on the corner of his clothes. His voice was so low and soft that it seemed like it could be blown away by a gust of wind.

He didn't even look at the other person, but just sat there quietly, seemingly not caring about the outcome. He fixed his gaze on that deserted corner, but secretly he was analyzing his own heart fiercely.

People are always so greedy. No matter how much they get, they are never satisfied.

In fact, his heart was not at peace at all.

He knew what he wanted, and he knew it might take time and effort. But he didn't know if he would ever get an answer, or if he was truly ready to face the answer.

Once, he thought that just seeing that figure again would be enough.

But when he actually stood in front of the other person, he found that this was not enough to comfort his longing for the past five years.

His heart became more and more greedy. He wanted more, wanted to go further, and wanted to become the most important person in that person's heart.

Now that he had successfully become a potential boyfriend, he should have felt satisfied. However, he found that this feeling did not last long.

I thought that after becoming his potential boyfriend, I could get closer to him more openly, but after just one day, Lu Shi left for a month.

It’s been too long, so long that he’s afraid he won’t be able to wait for the day he longs for…

The reality of being apart from each other made him unable to sleep or eat, so he had to speak to Lu Shi to test him.

As the atmosphere between the two grew more silent, Lu Zhao thought that he already knew the answer.

Maybe it will take a long time, or maybe it is impossible.

"You don't have to reply..." answered me.

"Lu Zhao."

Lu Zhao was stunned when he suddenly heard his name being called, and even the words he hadn't finished were swallowed back into his stomach.

"Lu Zhao, didn't you say that you would cook for me if I wanted to eat your food in the future?"

Lu Shi curled up the corners of his mouth slightly, his voice was soft, and his eyes seemed to have made a decision.

"Then cook me a hundred meals."

"One point for a basic meal, full points 100."

"After one percent, I will grant you one request."

"How about it, do you do it?"

Lu Zhao was in a daze, his mind seemingly unable to process the news he had just heard. His eyes were blank and dull. After a moment, they suddenly shone brightly, and the gloom in his eyes was completely gone.

"you said?"

"I said."

"Seriously?"

"Of course!"

"Okay! One hundred tons!"

Lu Zhao was immersed in the sudden good news and couldn't extricate himself. Like a programmed robot, he sat next to Lu Shi and kept smiling foolishly.

At this moment, the bird system in Lu Shi's arms suddenly raised questions in Lu Shi's mind.

"Host, why did you suddenly give in? I remember you didn't seem to like Lu Zhao."

"I don't know. Maybe she doesn't want to be a scumbag."

Lu Shi stared at the ceiling quietly, the bird system had no way of reading his thoughts.

And what exactly was Lu Shi thinking?

In fact, even Lu Shi herself couldn't explain why she suddenly made such a decision. Perhaps it was the gleam in Lu Zhao's eyes that was too dazzling, or perhaps his expectant expression touched a chord deep in her heart.

Or maybe she really didn't want to waste a relationship that was pure and sincere from beginning to end.

She didn't understand why she had such thoughts, so she finally attributed it to the original owner. She came to this world, experienced the original owner's life, adapted to the original owner's personality, and would eventually be influenced by the original owner.

Perhaps the original owner's sense of morality was too strong at a certain moment, causing her to feel guilty about taking advantage of others' feelings, even though she had only eaten a meal he cooked and had him take care of her bird system for a month... That's all...

Perhaps the hesitation at that moment was not enough to make Lu Shi change her mind, but she had to admit that when Lu Zhao asked her for an answer, the rejection she was about to blurt out suddenly got stuck in her throat and could not be uttered.

After that, she came to her senses. Since she had hesitated, she might as well try another ending.

Maybe another path that is not in the preset will be full of flowers.

Besides, according to the standard of three meals a day, Lu Zhao would have to cook for at least a month to prepare 100 meals. Maybe he couldn't bear it and gave up halfway. Then she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. It was the best of both worlds.

"Go back and rest early. Maybe you can try to make breakfast for me tomorrow."

"I'll state in advance that you can't order takeout, you have to cook it yourself."

“No points if it’s not delicious!”
