The next day, early in the morning.
Wang Tao woke up to find his surroundings empty.
Click—
The door opened to reveal Qu Shilin's pretty little face.
"Wang Tao, time to get up for breakfast!"
"Okay, just a minute."
The body of an Awakener is just amazing—he tossed and turned all night, and today he was acting like nothing happened.
After Wang Tao washed up, under Qu Shilin's expectant gaze, he took a bite of her lovingly prepared breakfast.
"I feel like your talent would be better used in research. Wasting it on cooking is just too much of a splurge."
"..."
Qu Shilin thought Wang Tao was complimenting her, but after she took a taste herself, her face turned red in an instant.
"Cough, cough, I rarely cook..."
"It's fine, at most it's just a bit too salty, sour, or bitter—it's not inedible."
Wang Tao said earnestly.
"Argh! You're so mean!"
Qu Shilin immediately pounced on Wang Tao, teeth bared and claws ready.
