Chapter 1076 - 483: Well Summarized, But No Next Time

It went out again. It went out again. My little uncle-in-law felt like he would never love again.I’m so stupid, really, how could I ever believe what Lin Li said...

The engagement ceremony didn’t go on for too long. After all, everyone was gathered right at mealtime; if the pre-ceremony stuff dragged on, people would probably be starving. Very soon, once everyone, at the emcee’s request, stood up to toast the couple, it was announced that the banquet had officially begun.

The waiters outside the hall, who had just finished plating but hadn’t dared to rush in during the ceremony, immediately filed in one after another and started serving the hot dishes to every table.

Noticing a certain middle‑aged single woman at his side shooting malicious looks at him every now and then, Lin Li kept his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart, and obediently focused on eating.

Especially just now, the moment when Qin Xuan’s eyes lit up, Lin Li had caught that too.

Lin Li was very familiar with that look, because he often saw it on his own face.

That was the "I’ve got a bad idea" look.

So he had to be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious.

"Lin Li, this one’s pretty good, you should try it." Sure enough, before long, Qin Xuan, seemingly unable to keep her dagger hidden, unfolded the map of Yan Kingdom and smiled gently at Lin Li as she spoke.

Lin Li wasn’t in a rush. He nodded at her words, but chose to observe first.

After seeing that no one at the table was rejecting the dish Qin Xuan had pointed out, he reached out with his chopsticks, picked up a small piece, and put it in his mouth.

The taste really wasn’t bad.

Then Lin Li shifted his gaze to Qin Xuan. "So? What’s your next step in the plan?"

Seeing him like this, Qin Xuan frowned slightly, a little headache coming on.

Lin Li’s wariness was written all over his face.

This guy probably couldn’t be tricked that easily.

A moment later, Qin Xuan decided to make a move that would shame her ancestors. She waved Lin Li over, and when he cautiously leaned in, she whispered in his ear.

...

"Bro, damn, this is really good." After tasting a dish, Lin Li turned to recommend it to Wu Lifeng.

"For real?" Even though there was no grudge between him and Lin Li today, the fact remained that the person recommending him food was named Lin Li, so Wu Lifeng still kept a basic level of vigilance and only picked up a small bit.

"Hey, it really is good!" His eyes lit up and he nodded.

"How could the engagement banquet that Bro meticulously prepared be anything but delicious? Also, Bro, the way you’re eating it right now isn’t even the best way," Lin Li said, picking up a big chopstickful of the dish and stuffing it into his mouth, chewing in big bites, looking utterly satisfied.

A moment later, after he finished chewing, Lin Li let out a satisfied breath. "Bro, this dish is all about that sense of satisfaction. You have to eat it like me, a whole big mouthful—that’s the real rush."

"There’s even a difference like that?" Wu Lifeng was a little curious.

"Of course there is. One big bite and your dopamine just gushes out. Your mouth gets an overload of flavor stimulation in a unit of time, your neural excitement threshold breaks past normal, and you get this explosive pleasure. It’s a shame you can’t eat it like that too many times; only the first time feels especially amazing."

Lin Li explained very seriously.

"For real O.o?" Hearing that, Wu Lifeng started to look forward to it. "Then I’ve really got to try."

Copying Lin Li’s earlier move with his chopsticks, Wu Lifeng picked up a big clump of the dish, shoved it into his mouth, and started chewing and chewing.

But what he didn’t expect was that in the very next second—

Lin Li and Qin Xuan simultaneously grabbed their goblets filled with soft drinks, turned toward the elders at the table, and beamed:

"We juniors would like to toast all you elders!"

Qin Xuan: "That’s right!"

"Come on, Miao Miao, Brother Feng (ah Feng), let’s stand up!"

At this moment, with his cheeks puffed out bigger than a cow chewing cud, having not chewed anything properly, let alone swallowed, Wu Lifeng: "(;☉○☉)?"
