Chapter 260 – Perfectly Seasoned Poison (2/2)

Lin Xiao froze after he took a bite.

“Hm, it’s not bad… though it’s a little on the bland side, but that’s just the way I like it. Strange, how did Shen DaiYing know I like it on the bland side?” He slowly savored the eggs as he muttered to himself.

This dish was definitely the least impressive and most normal dish among all of the dished, but it was unexpectedly perfect in taste, no matter how good the other dishes were, these perfectly seasoned eggs was delicious.

“Elena, you shoulder learn more from Sister Ying, if you could just cook a tenth of how well she could, then I wouldn’t get a stomach ache everyday.”

He chewed with great relish while lecturing her.

It would be lucky that her cooking didn’t give him diarrhea, not to mention delicious.

“I am.” Elena paused and didn’t bicker with him like usual, seriously answering, “I made those eggs.”

“Ah?”

Lin Xiao froze and forcibly swallowed the remaining food in his mouth. He speechlessly looked at the normal plate of scrambled eggs and then at Elena.

No wonder, that’s why it was on the bland side and Shen DaiYing didn’t want him eating it… Even if she was bad at cooking, since she cooked for him everyday, she understood his tastes well. So with Shen DaiYing’s guidance, along with her normal experience, she was able to make this unremarkable dish that suited Lin Xiao’s tastes extremely well.

What should he say… is it better to praise her now? Should he be like a Japanese anime protagonist and pat her head and say something nice?

“Stop staring at me, pervert.” Elena became flustered as Lin Xiao stared straight at her, so she didn’t wait for him to say something and quickly went to cleaning up the table then coldly said, “Are the eggs good? Then eat some more, because I poisoned it.”

“Uh… what poison?”

“Pervert poison… it’ll make someone more and more perverted after eating it, afraid?”

“Oh, so Elena, you want me to be more and more perverted? That means you’re a masochistic maid that likes a perverted master?”

“… Peh! Disgusting.”

Elena glanced at him, and when she saw his expression, she held back the urge to throw the plate onto his head.

“You should worry less about my preferences, and worry more about the banquet tomorrow. A good-for-nothing like you would surely become the laughingstock at a noble’s banquet.”

Elena cleaned up while making snide remarks.

“You’re right, I have to make myself look good.”

Lin Xiao nodded his head, and then said the following.

“Elena, come buy some clothes with me later.”

“Give up, a good-for-nothing is still a good-for-nothing no matter how you dress up.”

“No, no, it’s not for me, it’s for you.”

“For me? … Why?”

“I’m guessing that if I took you with me, then I wouldn’t be laughed at, right?”
