The Zerg Queen, who is assigned to me, wants to kill me!

Chapter 128 Chef Qi!

The area above the stairs where they descended was completely silent, even gradually fading into a blur, like a piece of velvet slowly dissolving into the air.

........................

Outside the ward, Liu Zhe was still using his subordinate's personal computer, frowning as he looked at the two juvenile male insects being remotely photographed on his own personal computer.

In the hospital ward, he was telling a silent pantomime with a worried expression.

Qi Min and his wife had returned home and, together with Ling Yi, put away all the things they had bought that day.

She then asked Ling Yi to help her wash the ingredients for dinner, while she went upstairs to her bedroom.

A moment later, Qi Min came downstairs and took over the things from Ling Yi, asked him to sit down, and began to prepare dinner for the two of them.

In the middle of the meal, she also made him a small portion of fruit tea, which Ling Yi liked, and had him sit at the dining table to keep her company while she talked.

But most of the time, it was Qi Min who did the talking, while Ling Yi only asked questions or answered occasionally.

Suddenly, Qi Min seemed somewhat helpless. He stopped what he was doing, turned the fire down to the lowest setting, and let it simmer slowly. Finally, he wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen.

Ling Yi didn't hear Qi Min continue speaking. He stopped drinking his fruit tea, looked up with some confusion, and watched Qi Min walk towards him.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

Ling Yi looked at Qi Min, who was walking over but only staring at him without saying a word, and asked with some confusion.

"Is the fruit tea delicious?"

Qi Min looked at Ling Yi's puzzled expression and asked seriously.

"Delicious... Your Majesty?"

Ling Yi expressed her feelings, then watched as Qi Min slowly leaned closer, wrapping himself around the table and chair.

"I'd like to try some...maybe?"

Qi Min looked into Ling Yi's eyes, his words carrying a double meaning. He seemed to be asking very seriously, but every move he made conveyed that he was not allowed to refuse.

Looking at Qi Min, who was so close to him, listening to his straightforward words, and feeling his breath on him, Ling Yi couldn't help but blush.

"My lord, the food in the kitchen is still cooking..."

Ling Yi tilted his head slightly, as if to remind him, but Qi Min said nonchalantly that it was fine and it needed to cook for a while longer.

"The soup needs to simmer a little longer to absorb the flavor. Don't change the subject. Answer me, can I...?"

Qi Min suppressed his worries and asked again, the last "hmm" coming from his nose. He even deliberately touched Ling Yi's cheek with the tip of his nose, implying that he was urging him to answer.

Faced with such a seemingly polite but actually seductive master, Ling Yi couldn't bring himself to refuse. His throat tightened as Qi Min uttered a soft "hmm" in response to Qi Min's question.

He swallowed a few times with some restraint, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, causing Qi Min, who had been watching him, to momentarily darken his gaze.

Just before Ling Yi couldn't control himself and wanted to kiss him first.

Qi Min, who had been watching him, saw that he did not respond, so he could only purse his lips in restraint and slowly get up with a smile on his face.

I didn't want to lose my composure before dinner, lest I annoy this person again and ruin the atmosphere for the evening.

"Alright, I won't force you. I'll go check the dishes..."

"Can……"

Ling Yi turned his head slightly to answer, and at the same time, Qi Min was also speaking, thus creating distance between them.

Ling Yi raised his eyes slightly, looked at Qi Min who had stopped moving because of his words, pursed his lips somewhat uncomfortably, and then looked away.

Qi Min looked at Ling Yi, who had said yes but seemed a little shy because of his retreat, and suddenly felt a surge of anger rising in his heart.

She no longer cared about the dishes and immediately went over to Ling Yi, responding to him with her actions and letting him fully know how much control she had just had.

"Ugh...the food...the fire isn't...off yet...ugh..."

Ling Yi originally thought it would only take a few bites, but when he smelled the faint burnt smell in the air, he couldn't help but turn his head to try to remind Chef Qi, who said he was going to cook him a big meal.

The stove's still on, your food's going to burn!

Qi Min also smelled the burnt smell in the air, so he had to stop again, take a deep breath, and take a few bites in annoyance before leaving the dining table and returning to the kitchen to try to salvage the dinner that had already partially dried out.

As Ling Yi watched Qi Min's somewhat disgruntled figure leave, a silent smile crept onto his lips.

Unexpectedly, this touched on the spot where she had just been bitten, causing her to suppress her smile and cover her mouth as she resumed drinking the slightly cool fruit tea on the table.

The fruit tea had barely touched her lips when she remembered Qi Min's suggestion to try it, and almost unconsciously, she took a couple more sips, silently thinking to herself:

'I tried it but didn't say anything, though the taste was indeed quite good...'

"cough……"

Realizing what he was thinking, Ling Yi coughed lightly, trying to suppress the emotions welling up inside him.

Soon, Chef Qi, who had saved the soup, announced that dinner was served.

These were fresh dishes that Ling Yi had never seen before, along with a rich and flavorful meat broth, all neatly arranged on the table.

"Have some soup first, it'll whet your appetite."

Qi Min first served him some soup and then handed it to Ling Yi with instructions.

Ling Yi accepted the drink with a gentle expression, and after finishing it, he began to sample the new dishes.

Mmm, delicious.

The moment the food entered his mouth, the sweet and sour juices and the chewy texture of the meat quickly filled Ling Yi's mouth.

This made Ling Yi's eyes light up slightly, and he quickened his chopsticks movements.

Qi Min watched Ling Yi eat with great relish and felt very satisfied. Nothing makes a chef happier than seeing a diner enjoy their meal.

The couple devoured the dinner, and then Qi Min got up first to clean up, letting Ling Yi rest and digest.

Seeing Qi Min's actions, Ling Yi felt even warmer inside. Remembering that there were still things to deal with and to avoid being called over by Chen Xuan to work overtime that night, he decided to go back to his study to handle and explain them first.

After Qi Min quickly tidied up downstairs, he returned to his room to find Ling Yi washing up. He took some clean clothes, went to the outer room to tidy himself up, and came back to find Ling Yi already out, looking at something under the light.

Why didn't you dry your hair?

Qi Min stepped forward and used the towel in his hand to cover Ling Yi's still dripping hair, gently wiping it.

"I forgot, my lord, why did you buy this..."

Ling Yi held up the items in his hand and asked Qi Min, his eyes lowered, a hint of hesitation in them.

But Qi Min, who was still wiping him, didn't notice anything and answered naturally.

"Oh, I bought it based on a recommendation. They said it works well, so I thought I'd buy it for you to try."

Qi Min spoke naturally, but Ling Yi felt a little nervous. He wasn't fully prepared, but Qi Min's meaning was already very clear.
