104: Chapter 104 You think I can't cook after all this time, being your assistant? Let me show you!

Lu Li leaned against the sofa, holding his phone and roughly scanning the comment section.

The comment section refreshed rapidly, with dozens of new messages appearing almost every time it was refreshed.

"The response is pretty good."

Lu Li raised an eyebrow and handed the phone to Shen Qingxue.

Shen Qingxue took it, lowered her head to look for a while, and her expression still showed no emotional fluctuation.

"Not bad."

Shen Qingxue handed the phone back to him.

Lu Li's mouth twitched.

Not bad?

He felt that this response was already awesome.

Less than half an hour had passed since the release, and the comments had already broken ten thousand, while the likes were heading straight for the 100,000 mark.

Such data could be called explosive on any fledgling online singer's account.

Although this certainly included the reason of Shen Qingxue's built-in traffic, it could not deny the lethality of the song coral sea itself.

It completely belonged to Lü Bu riding the Red Hare, a strong alliance of the strong.

"What's next?"

Lu Li placed the phone on the coffee table, put his hands behind his head, and crossed his legs.

"Let's wait first."

Shen Qingxue spoke leisurely.

"Wait for the popularity to ferment for a while longer, and then we'll post another update stating that the full version is currently in production, asking everyone to wait patiently."

Lu Li nodded.

This train of thought was correct.

Netizens' appetites had just been hooked, and it was the most itching time. If the full version was released directly at this time, it would instead waste this wave of popularity.

It was better to let them itch a little longer, until the itch became unbearable, and then bring out the full version. The effect would definitely be much better than releasing it directly now.

The sense of anticipation was directly maxed out, it was just a bit inhumane.

"Alright, then we'll wait."

Lu Li stood up from the sofa and stretched.

"I'll go take a shower first, I'm all sweaty."

After tossing and turning all afternoon, both debugging equipment and recording songs, his back had been soaked long ago.

Shen Qingxue gave an "en" sound, without raising her head, and was still looking at her phone.

Lu Li turned around and walked into the bedroom, took clean clothes, and slipped into the bathroom.

When the hot water rushed onto his body, he felt his whole person completely relax.

Although he was tired today, to be honest, compared to going on a show, this feeling was quite good. At least he was working for himself, rather than working for others.

Before long, Lu Li came out after taking a shower, changed into a dry set of clothes, and walked out with his hair unblown and dripping wet like that.

Shen Qingxue was still sitting on the sofa, her posture hardly changed.

Hearing the movement, she raised her head and glanced at Lu Li.

"Done washing?"

"Mhm."

Lu Li walked over, plopped down on the sofa, and wiped his hair with a towel.

"What is the current situation in the comment section?"

Shen Qingxue handed the phone to him.

Lu Li took it and looked, his pupils instinctively contracting slightly.

The view count had already broken three million, comments broke fifty thousand, and likes had surged to over two hundred thousand.

This data growth rate was even fiercer than he expected.

And the direction of the wind in the comment section had completely changed.

Netizens at the beginning were still discussing the song, but gradually, the topic shifted to eating melons.

The biggest topic was:

[Did Lu Li and Shen Qingxue really get together?]

The comments below had piled up into hundreds and thousands of floors.

Lu Li's mouth twitched.

Isn't coral sea good to listen to? Why is everyone eating the gossip between me and Shen Qingxue? Is this melon that delicious???

Fortunately, this song was indeed able to fight. Among the countless gossip comments, it still steadily occupied a place.

Afterwards, Lu Li handed the phone back to Shen Qingxue, pretending to be nonchalant as he continued to wipe his hair.

"Ahem, don't look at the bad reviews, because netizens' imagination is truly strong."

Shen Qingxue took the phone, ignored him, and still glanced at those guessing gossip comments again, her expression showing no change.

"It's fine, let them be. Explaining would instead make us look guilty."

Lu Li nodded; he thought so too.

This kind of thing gets darker the more it's painted; it's better to just pretend not to see it.

Anyway, they were originally a cooperative relationship, and living together was only temporary.

When they earned money, when their popularity went up, and when Shen Qingxue found a suitable house, they would naturally disperse.

Thinking of this, a nameless feeling suddenly surged in Lu Li's heart.

He couldn't tell what kind of feeling that was, he just felt a bit uncomfortable.

Lu Li shook his head, shook off that strange feeling, and stood up from the sofa.

"Are you hungry? I'll go cook."

Shen Qingxue raised her head and glanced at him with some surprise.

"You know how to cook? Are you sure it's not just boiling noodles?"

"Who are you looking down on?"

Lu Li snorted, rolled up his sleeves, and walked towards the kitchen.

"Always being your assistant, did you really think I don't know how to cook? Although I can't compare to you, it's not that bad, alright."

Shen Qingxue looked at his back, her mouth moved slightly, she didn't follow, and continued to lower her head to look at her phone.

In the kitchen, Lu Li opened the refrigerator and rummaged through the vegetables bought yesterday inside.

There were still some ribs left and potatoes too, which was just right to make a dish of braised pork ribs with potatoes, and then make stir-fried tomatoes with eggs.

It's just that the ribs had to be pressed with a pressure cooker, otherwise they would be too hard to bite through at all.

Lu Li tied his apron and began to busy himself.

Although his cooking movements were not as smooth as flowing water like Shen Qingxue's, they were also neat, at a glance not a novice who had never entered the kitchen at all.

After all, having lived alone for so long before transmigrating, basic home-cooked dishes were still within his ability.

Halfway through, a slight sound of footsteps came from the kitchen doorway.

Lu Li tilted his head to look, and Shen Qingxue was standing at the doorway, her gaze falling on him.

"What is it?"

Lu Li felt a bit uncomfortable being looked at by her, and subconsciously touched his face.

"Is there something on my face?"

Shen Qingxue shook her head, her gaze shifting to the pot in front of him.

"Do you need my help?"

"No need."

Lu Li turned back to continue stir-frying, his tone casual.

"You just go sit and wait to eat. Today, let you taste my craftsmanship; don't think only you know how to cook."

Shen Qingxue didn't leave; she just leaned against the kitchen door frame, quietly watching him bustle about.

Before long, Lu Li turned off the heat. When dishing out the food, he even carefully covered the ribs on top of the potatoes, and then served it in front of Shen Qingxue.

"Taste it."

Shen Qingxue lowered her head to look at the appetizing ribs on the plate, picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece, and sent it into her mouth.

Lu Li stared at her expression, waiting for an evaluation.

Shen Qingxue chewed a few times, then nodded.

"Not bad."

Lu Li's mouth twitched.

Why is it 'not bad' again? He seriously suspected that there were simply no two words like "delicious" in Shen Qingxue's dictionary.

"Can't you change a word to praise me?"

Lu Li couldn't help complaining.

Shen Qingxue glanced at him, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Better than I expected."

Lu Li: "..."

Alright, this could also be considered praise.

Afterwards, he served the dishes on the table, stir-fried another tomato and eggs, dished out two bowls of rice, and the two sat face-to-face to start eating.

Shen Qingxue was very quiet when eating, her actions leisurely and unhurried, chewing every bite very carefully.

Lu Li's eating style was completely different from hers; he shoveled it in big mouthfuls, occasionally picked up a chopstick of vegetables, and swallowed it in two or three bites.

The style of the two eating was extremely contrasting.

But strangely enough, this huge contrast placed on the same dining table did not make people feel discordant.

Instead, it had an inexplicable sense of harmony.
