At lunchtime, Xia Nuannuan took out the two sandwiches, and the two of them ate together.
“Auntie’s cooking is amazing, these sandwiches are delicious.”
Qin Tian ate the sandwiches with large bites, praising with a smile.
It wasn't just flattery to his future mother-in-law.
They were genuinely delicious, and low in calories.
“Hehe… My mom makes many delicious dishes, but unfortunately, I can’t eat them now. She’s been making me these fat-reducing meals temporarily.”
Xia Nuannuan said happily.
“That’s good.”
Qin Tian nodded with a smile and teased, “Now I understand why you’re so… adorably a bit inflated. It’s because your mom’s cooking is too good.”
Xia Nuannuan paused when she heard this, and then a flush quickly rose from her fair, jade-like neck to her forehead.
This was the first time she had ever heard such a comment.
Not only did she feel no dislike, but she was instead very shy and secretly delighted.
“Adorable… He said I’m adorable…”
Xia Nuannuan felt her cheeks burning and her mind a bit dizzy.
All the surrounding sounds seemed to have vanished, and Qin Tian’s words echoed in her ears again and again.
Qin Tian knew when to stop, quite satisfied with the pick-up techniques he had learned through various means in his previous life.
His skill level was limited, but for a pure and adorable young girl like Xia Nuannuan, it was more than enough.
Washing down the sandwich with the sugar-free cola Xia Nuannuan gave him, he finished it in a few bites and continued to climb ranks.
Zhang Peng and Xu Hao had gone out for lunch together earlier, so Qin Tian had asked them to pack something for him.
After Xia Nuannuan snapped back to reality, she cupped the sandwich in her hands and ate it in small bites like a hamster, watching him play games with a radiant smile.
Although she didn’t understand it at all, she just felt incredibly happy.
If she were in her room right now, she would probably have already rolled up her blanket and be happily tossing and turning on the bed.
“Handsome guy~~”
Suddenly, a sweet, girlish voice was heard.
Xia Nuannuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a scantily clad hottie with fiery red hair sitting down in Xu Hao’s empty seat.
Her small hands, holding the sandwich, instinctively tightened, and she stared at the girl with a vigilant and hostile gaze.
“It’s not even summer yet, and you’re wearing so little. Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold!”
Xia Nuannuan thought maliciously in her mind.
Qin Tian merely glanced at the hottie with a calm expression before returning his attention to the computer screen.
“Who are you? Don’t sit here, this seat is taken.”
The hottie’s face froze.
A slight curve appeared on Xia Nuannuan’s lips.
She knew it, Qin Tian wasn’t such a shallow man.
Little did she know, Qin Tian simply found the hottie quite ordinary and unappealing.
This was true for her looks, her figure, and her attire.
After all, he had seen Xia Nuannuan after her successful transformation, a truly stunning sight, and she was sitting right beside him.
“My name is Jin Lili. I see you play the game so well, could you help me rank up too!”
Soon, the hottie’s face broke into a charming smile again, and she said coyly.
“No time!”
Qin Tian refused without hesitation.
“Don’t be like that, I’ll support you, okay?”
Jin Lili leaned closer, her body pressing against Qin Tian’s elbow.
Qin Tian frowned, shifted his arm, and said calmly, “No need. I’m a jungler. And please, could you move aside? Can’t you see I have a girlfriend?”
Xia Nuannuan, sitting to his left, widened her eyes, her pretty face instantly turning crimson.
“Eh eh eh? Are we already dating? No, no, he’s just saying that on purpose.”
Xia Nuannuan quickly figured it out, cooperating by proudly lifting her chin, and glaring at Jin Lili with a pout.
Jin Lili glanced at Xia Nuannuan with disdain, saying, “Handsome guy, you’re so good-looking and play the game so well, how can your taste be so bad? You found a chubby girl as your girlfriend?”
Xia Nuannuan’s face turned red with shame and anger upon hearing this.
She opened her mouth to retort, but didn’t know what to say.
After all, she was still a bit overweight, and she wasn’t good at arguing with people.
The sandwich in her hand was crushed, and Xia Nuannuan’s resolve to lose weight strengthened.
She didn’t want to be like this anymore.
She could tolerate it when others said such things before.
But it was different now.
She didn’t want Qin Tian to be ridiculed because of her.
[Task Triggered: How can you let someone mock the woman you fancy? Host, please stand up for Xia Nuannuan. Task reward is unknown!]
“I would have done it even if you hadn’t told me.”
Qin Tian’s icy gaze fixed on Jin Lili, and he said sternly, “Apologize to her!”
“Huh?”
Jin Lili looked at him in disbelief.
“I said, apologize to her!”
Qin Tian repeated, his eyes growing colder, as if devoid of any emotion.
Jin Lili was stunned for a moment, her lips twitching. “No way, you really like this little chubby…”
“Slap!”
This time, Qin Tian didn’t give her a chance to finish her sentence. He directly slapped her across the face.
Xia Nuannuan was startled, her expression becoming tense and anxious.
Jin Lili was dazed by the slap.
She raised her hand in disbelief, touching the burning half of her face.
Many people playing games nearby heard the crisp sound of the slap and cast curious glances.
“You… you dare to hit me?”
Jin Lili stared at Qin Tian, her eyes seeming to spew fire.
“I told you to apologize, not to spew trash.”
Qin Tian said with a flat expression.
“Your mom… Slap!”
Jin Lili was furious and was about to curse again, but Qin Tian interrupted her with another backhand slap.
The onlookers were all stunned, their eyes wide with shock.
He was truly ruthless!
In their eyes, Jin Lili was quite a beauty.
Yet Qin Tian showed no leniency, no trace of pity for the fairer sex.
Even the slap itself looked painful to them.
“You can continue!”
Qin Tian sneered.
Jin Lili was so enraged she was about to go mad.
The burning pain on her face was secondary; what was more unbearable was the humiliation of being publicly slapped.
But she indeed dared not utter another word.
The scoundrel before her was simply a lunatic, quick to resort to violence.
She had never met such a man.
“You’re ruthless, you’re ruthless, I’ll remember you both.”
Jin Lili stood up with a dark expression, uttered a threat, and then quickly left in anger.
[Congratulations to the Host, task completed. Reward: Comprehensive Fighting Skills Experience Pack, System Points +666]
With the system’s notification, a flood of information regarding comprehensive fighting entered his mind.
This was a combat technique that included various martial arts styles such as boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, wrestling, Taekwondo, and more, hailed as the decathlon of combat sports.
Moreover, what the system imparted was not just the version for competition, but true no-holds-barred combat techniques used for fighting and killing.
Coupled with his current physical fitness, although he hadn’t tested it, Qin Tian felt his combat power had reached a terrifying level.
One against ten?
That was like a strongman playing with a carrying pole.
Effortlessly!
