"No," the girl shook her head, with a slight smile on her lips, and stood up calmly to answer Fergus's words: "It's just that I'm not feeling well, so my appetite is not very good."
She covered her stomach with her gloved hand, and Lin Yu put the chopped beef into his mouth, so he could watch her performance at leisure.
"I have something wrong with my stomach. I always have stomach pains." She held her stomach and frowned slightly, looking like she was tormented by pain.
"I see, then my guest, you should take good care of your health." Fergus looked like he suddenly understood, and then gently advised: "Even if it doesn't work out, just drink some soup."
"Al" he called the valet standing next to him, "give the guest a bowl of thick soup."
The manservant responded respectfully, and then stepped back respectfully step by step.
I don’t know what the order of their meals is. It should be soup after the appetizers and bread, but now that the main course is served, soup still has to be served separately.
The girl nodded, and the male servant took the soup bowl covered with a gold lid from another male servant, carefully placed it on Qin Qing's table without making any noise, and then opened the lid.
The smell of seafood hit his face, and Lin Yu sensitively smelled a hint of fishy smell from the rich aroma.
The girl didn't seem to hear anything, so she thanked Fergusdo for his concern for him, and took a sip of soup under his gaze.
Fergus nodded with satisfaction and meaning, with a joyful smile at the end of his eyes, as bright as a sunflower.
Perhaps because of her disrespectful behavior just now, Fergus remembered his existence, so he started chatting with her: "This beautiful lady, may I know your name?"
The girl put down the delicate gold spoon and leaned back in the chair, "My name is Qin Qing."
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, it was still an oriental name.
Fergus seemed to be full of interest in her, and asked him several questions in succession, and Qin Qing answered them one by one.
"There are so many guests here, why don't you find someone else to chat with?" Qin Qing smiled and brought the topic to everyone present, "I believe the other guests are willing to chat with you."
In order to prevent Fergus's attention from focusing on them, they had worked hard to keep their heads down.
Why did Qin Qing bring the topic to them!
They don't want to! ! ! I don’t want to chat with the big boss! He was the only one with such a big heart who chatted with Fergus for so long!
"That's right." Fergus seemed to realize that he had ignored the others at this moment. He picked up the red wine glass and raised it in their direction, "Sorry, I accidentally got lost in the conversation when I met someone I was interested in." , I’m really sorry for ignoring you.”
There was a ring on the index finger of the hand he was holding a glass of. Lin Yu used a trace of mental power to explore it, but unexpectedly the trace of mental power bounced back.
He was a little surprised, and his meat-cutting hand paused slightly.
There is actually something prohibiting mental exploration here? Then why does the system give him a mental skill...
It was obvious that their mental power could not be known to them, but Fergus seemed to brush past Lin Yu lightly when he withdrew his mental power.
Was he discovered
Maybe it's just an illusion.
Lin Yu withdrew his gaze and focused on the food in front of him.
He looked like he was eating all the time, but only he knew that only a little amount was actually swallowed into his stomach.
Qin Qing didn't know when she picked up the tableware and pretended to eat. Lin Yu paid attention and observed. She also tried to eat as little as possible. After each bite, she had to pause for a long time before taking the next one.
After careful guidance from those caring people, the topic finally came back to them.
Why do you say it's them
"Didn't you know each other before?" someone asked curiously.
Occasionally, some players will be assigned to a task, and it is possible to leave information about each other to ensure that they will be recognized next time they meet. After all, everyone's appearance has changed in the game, and no one can recognize anyone else.
"..." Lin Yu glanced at him calmly and was about to say that he didn't know him.
"We have a pretty good relationship." Qin Qing spoke first. "We played together in previous copies of the game."
"How many copies have you played?" someone asked.
Lin Yu looked at Qin Qing, wanting to hear what she had to say.
Obviously she wanted to rely on herself, and Lin Yu certainly didn't mind! He couldn't wait to play games with such a beautiful woman. It doesn't matter even if you use him, it won't matter if you lose anyway, the worst thing is that death will be a little more painful.
When he was thinking this, his ancestor's words about being a ghost under the peonies and being a ghost under the peonies flashed through his mind, and he clicked his tongue.
Qin Qing was about to continue talking nonsense when the hall suddenly flashed a few times and then turned into darkness.
power cut? No, all the candles used for lighting in the restaurant were strangely extinguished at once.
Is it intentional? Or is it really that weird
People are always full of fear of the unknown darkness. The screams of men and women came one after another, so harsh that Lin Yu couldn't help but want to use his mental power to block his hearing.
He raised his eyes for a glance, and then lowered his eyes. He didn't know what he was studying in the darkness, and his mental power was completely dispersed.
Suddenly a burst of heat hit him, and he had to immediately withdraw his mental power, concentrate, and prepare to face the sneak attacker.
Lin Yu raised his hand to block it, but the other party took the lead and held down his arm.
The temperature on my arms is slightly cool.
It's Qin Qing.
Because of his mental strength, he has excellent night vision. He can clearly see every move and every flaw of Qin Qing.
After a few moves in an instant, he was surprised that this girl was on par with him, which showed that even in reality, her strength was not bad.
"What are you doing?" Lin Yu didn't want to do anything to the beauty.
"Since we want to cooperate, of course it's time to try your skills!" In the darkness, Qin Qing sprayed each other on Lin Yu's face, although it was not the right time, it was like a shameful kiss.
But before his face could get close to him, Qin Qing suppressed him with one hand, and the steak knife in her hand was thrust towards the aorta in his neck -
"Fuck!" Lin Yu cursed.
Suddenly someone screamed next to him, and then bumped into his hand, causing the blade that was supposed to kill him to miss his hair.
A strand of broken black hair fell and fell to the ground leisurely.
Qin Qing put down the steak knife and sat down as if nothing happened.
"Qin Qing, did you really want to kill me just now?"
"Of course not!" Qin Qing smiled at him, "You can say that I want to know you better." Her voice was clear and crisp, but Lin Yu actually heard a bit of frivolity.
I believed your lies...
"... If I hadn't dodged just now, you would have cut the aorta."
Qin Qing looked surprised: "How could it be? The steak knife isn't that sharp. Besides, I'm not that strong either."
She refused to admit it. Lin Yu grinded his teeth and moved his upper body closer to Qin Qing's face.
"So now you understand?"
Qin Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly laughed again: "Absolutely, not as good as me."
"...I think so too!" Lin Yu didn't feel ashamed at all to be told by a woman that he was not as powerful as her, and said happily, "In this case, we are allies now, and you are better than me, then this Copy game…”
He sat down, patted Qin Qing's hand on the table, and took the opportunity to squeeze it twice; "It's all up to you, beautiful Qin!"
The smile on Qin Qing's face disappeared, but Lin Yu was still saying: "I also want to experience the feeling of winning!"
"Are you still a man?" Qin Qing shook off his hand.
Lin Yu: "Are you a man? Try..."
With a "bang", the candlelight spread throughout the restaurant again, interrupting Lin Yu's words.
The two people's hands were still together. I don't know if it was too obvious, or Fergus had been paying attention to them, so he spoke immediately.
"It seems that the relationship between you is really good." Fergus calmly sat in the main seat and looked at them with a smile. "The farce is over. You can calm down and enjoy our feast again."
He didn't explain why the candle went out, and no one dared ask.
Under the smiling expression of the owner of the castle, everyone did not dare to have any objections at all, and sat back to their previous seats obediently.
A boss cannot be easy to talk to, and a boss with a smiling face is even more terrifying.
Lin Yu had no choice but to slow down his eating speed a little more, pretending to listen carefully to the topics Fergus brought up in order to re-heat the atmosphere.
"There is your hair on the ground." Qin Qing suddenly whispered. "Remember to pick it up later and don't let them take advantage of it."
When I first entered the game, the game name given by the system was {Cursed Castle}, and the prompt was: Evil spirits, casting a curse. Since food can be cursed, something like hair is obviously the most direct carrier.
Don’t you see that in many TV dramas, hair is used to cast curses
"I'm not stupid." Lin Yu rolled his eyes at her.
Fergus was chatting with others about his love experience. Lin Yu had no interest in these things, but in order to understand the current situation as soon as possible, he still listened.
"Ah, what about you, Qin Qing?" As expected, Fergus never forgets Qin Qingzhi and brings her out on any topic, "Do you have anyone you love deeply?"
"The person you love deeply?" Qin Qing blinked, "Yes!"
Then she took Lin Yu's hand, clasped their fingers together, and smiled calmly at Fergus: "He is the person I love most."
Lin Yu looked at the hands they were holding, grinned suddenly, kissed Qin Qing on the cheek before Qin Qing could react, and then nodded affectionately.
Qin Qing's expression cracked, if Lin Yu hadn't kissed her and whispered, "You started it first!"
She now puts the knife and fork on the table into his mouth!
But a player next to him asked strangely: "Didn't you say before..."
"That's fun!" Lin Yu shook their intertwined hands, "My baby likes to play all kinds of role-playing the most."
Other players: Japan... Why do you still have to eat dog food in the game!
Qin Qing: I will kill him later!
But Fergus laughed: "That's because I didn't think well, Al, let's move the rooms of these two guests into the same room."
