Lovable Package Chapter 5

After they came out of Duan Rong, they took a seat in a private room at the Zui Xianju restaurant, the table was filled with the fragrance of food, Su Tang has not yet recovered from what Ling Si has previously stated.

"He's delicate, cherished." Su Tang replayed the words repeatedly in his mind, in his heart he genuinely felt Ling Si's voice is pleasant to hear, clear like spring water, along with wearing a smile, similar to roasting a chicken to eat.

Pēi pēi pēi, what metaphor is this. Su Tang quickly shook his head, only to discover in front him there are neatly placed dishes of chicken, braised, steamed and stuffed ones covered in sauce, his eyes lit up, his little sense of self was blown clean away by the chickens fragrance.

"Wow, very good, there's so many of my favorite dishes." Su Tang's eyes curved up, he rubbed his hands together, he didn't know which one to eat first.

"Break of a chicken leg first?" Ling Si asked.

"N ń ń!" Su Tang nodded.

( Note: ń ń = uh huh)

Chicken legs freshly baked, topped with a s.h.i.+ny layer of sweet-scented osmanthus honey, the aroma of the sweet-scented osmanthus mixed with the fragrant smell of the chicken, the taste of grease was nowhere to be found, Su Tang opened his small mouth and took a bite, the skin is crisp, the honey tastes sweet, taking a bite makes one want to take a second bite.  

"Delicious, delicious!" Su Tang's mouth was filled with meat, as a result his words came out vague, but this small appearance is particularly lovely, looking at this, Ling Si's heart felt like it's eating honey.

( Note: heart eating honey = heart felt sweet/ full?)

"Eat slowly, this table is for you." Ling Si gave him a cup of tea, he smiled at Su Tang's eating appearance.

Su Tang focused on eating, elatedly eating. System watched from the side, and finally couldn't help but say: "did you forget your tasks?"

"What task?" Su Tang ambiguously asked.

"You're really infuriating me!" If the system had grown hands, it will certainly wrestle the chicken leg from Su Tang, then severely strike him on the head whilst cursing, however he doesn't have a physical ent.i.ty, it can only curb it's anger: "the female protagonist, Lord! Did you forget about the female protagonist, you can't find the female protagonist, at the very least you should mention her, let the male protagonist have a good impression of her!"

"Áo'áo áo, right, if you didn't say it I would have forgotten it." Su Tang immediately awakened from the food, he felt he could not ignore ones own tasks anymore.

( Note: áo áo áo = oh oh oh)

He ruthlessly bit on his chicken legs, and said to Ling Si: "I tell you, I enjoy eating chicken legs, my elder sister also loves to eat it, and she can really eat, once she faced me and ate ten chickens in one breath."

With that, Su Tang also turned to the system to take credit for his meritorious  achievement: "how was it, I exaggerated pretty well?"

System: "......"

Su Tang wanted to continue talking to Ling Si about his sister's accomplishments, system finally can't bear it any longer, and spoke once again: "do you think, girls knowing how to eat, is a worthwhile thing to showcase?"

Su Tang half understood, eventually he had to whisper: "what my sister doesn't enjoy eating, I can eat."

Ling Si was amused by him, he grabbed the braised chicken wings dish and pushed it in front of Su Tang, and said: "okay, okay, no one is fighting with you."

( Note: no is fighting with you = no one is competing with Su Tang over food)

"Mm-Hmm. "Su Tang felt particularly satisfied, and began going to war on the chicken wings. 

System was so throughly angered, it ran away.

Eating chicken wings with chopsticks is not convenient, Su Tang simply just started to use his hands, with regards to this, he has skills towards eating chicken wings. First, hold onto the ends of the wings where protruding on either side are the small bones, pull the meat from the bones, then with both hands, throw the bones onto the table, and toss the meat into your mouth.

With the way his mouths munching, one wants to really eat well, also.

Ling Si was in admiration, he ladled up some soup and placed a spoonful of it at Su Tang's mouth, "try this soup."

"Oh." Su Tang's eyes stared at the plates and did not take heed of what the other party's brought to him, he only opened his mouth and swallowed it.

His mouth, after eating, was oily, his lips were scalded a bit red, the white porcelain spoon went in, causing his mouth to bulge. The white spoon, red lips. Just using the small tongue to lick it a few times, Ling Si was barely able to hold it in while watching.

After drinking the soup, Su Tang held the spoon against his tongue and then it was pulled out, some water droplets hung on the spoon, he didn't pay attention to what the other is doing, he only lowered his head down to eat.

Ling Si just sat there staring at Su Tang in a daze, he looked for a long while before returning back to his sense of self, he scooped up a spoonful of soup and drank it down, feeling that the taste is sweeter than honey.

The two people ate and drank in silence. When Su Tang ate till he was half full, he then looked up, only to find Ling Si didn't touch anything. The soup, contrarily, was seen at the end of the table.

( Note: Dishes that are finished are generally piled up and placed on one side of the table to prevent from being a hindrance / if it's disliked it's piled up at one side, too)

"Wa, is the soup that tasty? Give me some." Su Tang said surprisingly.

"It's okay, it tastes pretty good." Ling Si nodded his head, and handed Su Tang the soup, however he forgot to hand him a spoon, Su Tang wasn't paying any attention, he cheerfully took it, and started to ladle it to drink.

He drank two sips, and also felt that it's alright, he pushed what he thought to be delicious towards Ling Si, and said: "you try some of this, and this, I feel it's sweet and good to eat."

Sweet tooth? Just like his name.

( Note: Su Tang = Su: to revive / Tang: cherry apple, it can also be p.r.o.nounced as candy / sweets in Chinese)

Ling Si ate two bites, and felt sweet things didn't really agree with him, he simply ate two bites of rice, and continued to eat the dishes Su Tang handed to him.

In fact, whatever he ate tastes all the same to him. When he was in the mountain, what he ate was light, he wasn't like his other apprentice brothers who went out to steal wild game. He ate what he had, but today is different. He felt what Su Tang ate, tasted delicious, what didn't taste very tasty, he still felt it tastes delicious. 

He suspects himself of surrendering himself.

( Note: surrendering = giving himself away)

The one that caused Ling Si to surrender himself, finally ate enough. The plates are empty, his eyes are also empty. This time the food is so satisfying. To be able to be satisfied simultaneously with a sigh, is because this man, Ling Si, is genuinely good.

"You're really a good man." Su Tang lying on the chair, sent him the good man card, once again.

"Just inviting you to eat a meal makes me a good person?" Ling Si asked.

" Of course!" Su Tang heroically patted his little belly, saying, "From now on we are friends, if you have anything you need help with, ask me, I would surely help you."

Ling Si wanted to laugh a little, Su Tang, this jack of all trades and master of none, can't really help him much, but having someone who he can talk with, he was very much satisfied.

Su Tang lied on the chair for digestion, Ling Si began fiddling with the instruments in his bag, he picked out a few that he could use and placed it on his body, and pulled out a letter, carefully looking at it.

"What are you looking at? "Su Tang opened his eyes and asked, curiously.

"Case." Ling Si said.

"Case!?" Su Tang sat up, realizing that he's finally entering the main plot, in his heart he felt nervous and excited, he jumped around a bit and hopped to Ling Si's side, he craned his head wanting to take a look, Ling Si directly placed him on his lap, and placed his arm around him to read the letter together.

The writing on the letter is dense, in total there are several sheets, Su Tang glanced at it, and felt eye pain, he let Ling Si tell it to him.

Ling Si made no secret of it, he uplifted Su Tang and pulled him close, after confirming that he's sitting tight, he said: "this capital, for nearly a month, every three days a young girl would be lost. There is now 11 in total. The bureaucratic suspects it is a flower thief at first, they sent people to search but to no avail, they haven't been able to solve it. Later, on a family locked their daughter inside, and had a maid accompany her. As a result on the second day she went missing without a trace. Over time people suspects it is the doing of something evil."

"So they sent you to catch the demon?" Su Tang asked.

"The letter was first sent to my master, he accounted down this matter, then sent my apprentice brother and I to catch the demon." Ling Si stopped up to here, apparently reluctant to mention other things. Su Tang knows that Ling Si's apprentice brothers are unkind to him, they exclude him, because he had no father or mother, there are rumors that he is a half-demon.

Ling Si skipped the matter, and pretended nothing had happened, from his bag he took out a map, it's a map of the capital. On it a red cinnabar marked the missing girl's address, along with a few lines, Su Tang concentrated on it, and eventually felt that this is a bit like a character array.  

( Note: red cinnabar = red dot)

Ling Division used his finger tip to move it along the lines, he eventually stopped at one point, and frowningly said: "this is a spirit charge array, located on the west street, in the eyes of a locust tree, but I looked at it before, and found nothing unusual."

Master have high hopes for him, but he could find nothing, more than 10 lives were in his hands, if he still couldn't find it, he really isn't as good as what his fellow apprentice brothers are saying, he might as well let go of his self ego.

Ling Si's brows wrinkled, showing a rare lonely look, Su Tang's heart quivered, thinking: if he helps Ling Si ... ...

But the system will not allow it, and then it will continue to scold him?

Su Tang nervously pursed his lips, clenching his teeth, and finally said, "I ... ... I seem to know the place."

He placed his finger on the old locust tree, just happening to touch on Ling Si's fingertips.
