-Ch XXIV: Alice the Beautiful Cook-

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking!" Arthur wanted to cook by himself, but then Alice said she could cook, so Arthur asked her to show her skills. 

Unexpectedly, Alice actually cooked a table full of delicious food. Arthur's saliva was almost flowing down. Even the sleepy Lmiu, who was originally sleeping in, ran over with a "meow". 

Before the apocalypse, although Arthur had stockpiled tens of billions of supplies, countless chickens, beef, fish and meat, and various precious ingredients, he didn't know how to cook. 

Whatever abalone, lobster, Arthur directly shabu-shabu them in a hot pot. Eating shabu-shabu every day is a bit irritating for his body, and Arthur didn't know what hot dishes he could eat besides shabu-shabu. 

Now, Alice's arrival has perfectly solved Arthur's food taste problem. With this beautiful cook, he can change the taste of food every day. It's really a treasure. 

On the other side, Nana, who was originally in a daze, swallowed her saliva when she saw the delicious dishes. 

Steamed abalone, braised pork belly, garlic lobster...

Where did Arthur get so much food?

She couldn't afford to eat these dishes made from high-end ingredients even in normal times, it was impossible to have a meal like these in the apocalypse now.

Nana had been eating hard textured bread for several days, and she couldn't even go to the toilet and give out the wastes.

She looked at Arthur eagerly. She tried to wait for Arthur to throw her a piece of meat, but Arthur ignored her and even threw it to Lmiu in front of her.

She was treated not even better than a cat. Nana really wanted to cry, and she didn't know where she had offended Arthur.

What good for him for torturing her like this?

Too vicious.

Arthur and Alice ate delicious dishes from face to face on the marble table. And no one knows why Alice was both happy and shy at the moment.

She secretly took a short glance at Arthur.

Arthur was more than 1.8 meters tall, with refreshing short hair, he looked very sunny, with a hint of determination between his eyebrows, and a little unruly.

Alice likes Arthur's style.

And the last and most important thing is that Arthur is a gentleman. 

Although Arthur pinched her when he saved her at the beginning…he didn't do anything else afterwards.

He didn't make excessive demands on her because he saved her, or take advantage of her and force her to do anything.

He didn't covet her.

This is why she followed Arthur to the cold storage.

If Arthur made excessive demands at the beginning, or showed a little impatience, Alice would rather choose to leave even if she died than becoming Arthur's toy doll.

She noticed she was having a good impression of Arthur.

However, if Nana, who was kneeling on the ground drooling, knew Alice's evaluation of Arthur, she would definitely be so angry that she would vomit blood.

Nana: Gentleman? Not coveting your body?

Do you know that he just rubbed and rubbed me, enjoying more than anyone else.

Moreover, he insidiously harmed his girlfriend and having delicious meal without giving me a little, deliberately torturing me.

Is this a gentleman?

He took you in just because he wanted you. When he strips you until you own nothing, you will definitely cry.

"How come you are so good at cooking? Who taught you?" Arthur didn't even look at Nana. He chatted with Arthur while enjoying this unforgettable taste of food made by Alice.

Apart from knowing Alice's special ability in his previous life, Arthur didn't know much about her other aspects.

"My grandma taught me how to cook before..." Alice is introverted and rarely communicates with boys. But now she has a good impression of Arthur, so she didn't hide anything from him.

She told him everything about her parents' death, growing up with her grandmother, and how she and her little sister depended on each other after their grandmother died.

While telling the story, she bitterly looked at Arthur's face, afraid that Arthur would look down on her because of this.

But this was the girl who had saved his life, how could Arthur look down on her just because of this.

Half an hour passed, and she was shocked to learn that Arthur's parents also died unexpectedly in a traffic accident, and she felt that they were the same kind of people—who had been tricked by their fates.

She came up closer to Arthur with a sweet smile.

Arthur also sighed in his heart. 

Hemp ropes only break at the thinnest part, and misfortune only picks the unfortunates.

Alice's fate is quite tragic.

However, this also made her resolute and hard-working.

Arthur guessed that it was precisely because of this which made her special ability so powerful. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

"Do you have a sister?" Arthur suddenly asked.

"Well, she goes to school at Los Angeles Middle School. I don't know how she is now." Now, having the conversation topic of her sister, Alice's expression was a little gloomy, worried about her sister's current situation. 

That was her only relative left in the world.

"Don't worry, I'll go over to try and find her in the evening." Arthur patted her shoulder comfortingly. 

The virus has just arrived, so Arthur has taken advantage of others not to discover this in the past few days to go out to look for evolution crystals, just in time to visit Alice's sister.

"But there are so many zombies outside, it's very dangerous." Arthur saved her once, Alice was already very moved, and she didn't want Arthur to take risks again.

"What are you afraid of? I have hot weapons like guns beside me. If there are zombies, I will just shoot them to death." Arthur smiled.

Alice then remembered that Arthur had killed a large number of zombies with a gun before, and she felt a little relieved.

At the same time, she was more grateful to Arthur.

He was so good to her, how could she repay him?

The two chatted for a while and soon felt sleepy and tired.

Alice had been trembling with fear these days and had not slept at all. 

Arthur was also busy all night, and he absorbed two evolution crystals, and his physical strength was almost depleted. Now he was also very tired.

"Let's go to bed, it's already late now" Arthur yawned and said to Alice.

"Where shall I sleep?"

Hearing Arthur's words, ALice's face turned extremely red. She had just taken an overall look at Arrthur's cold storage. Although the cold storage was very large, covering an area of ​​300 square meters, there was only one room in the entire cold storage. 

Doesn't that mean that she and Arthur would have to sleep together?

Alice was only 20 years old and was studying in college. She had never had much contact with males since she was a child. How could she accept sleeping together?

Moreover, Arthur hadn't confessed his feelings to her yet.

"Don't worry, my bed is very big and can sleep 10 people." Arthur guessed her thoughts and joked with a grin, "Why, are you afraid that I will flirt with you?"

"No, not really." Alice waved her hands quickly. Covering her dainty face with her fine smooth hands.

"Oh?" Arthur raised his eyebrows, "Then you want me to flirt with you?"

"I..."

Alice's face turned red. Why did she say that? 

It's obvious that Arthur was tricking her. She couldn't do anything but glare at Arthur.

Looking at Alice's shy face, Arthur couldn't help laughing. 

She is so cute.

He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't force you to do something you dislike. By the way I'm afraid that you will do something to me tonight."

Arthur admitted that he was lustful, but he also had his own principles. For matters like love between men and women, Arthur always followed the mutual consent.

Of course there are exceptions.

If the one he was facing is his enemy, or his enemy's woman, then it's totally another thing to talk about. 

Who the hëll cares whether you are willing or not?

After hearing Arthur's words, Alice was relieved, but a little disappointed.

Am I unattractive?

No matter how simple a woman or a girl is, as long as she is a woman, she will be entangled in her appearance, and Alice is no exception.

Arthur took Alice to the room. Before entering the room, Arthur glared at Nana who was still in a daze: "Go wash the dishes, and remember to clean up the toilet for Lmiu. Be honest, or I'll throw you out to feed the zombies."

Nana was very angry after hearing this.

Not only did he not give her any food, but she also had to wash the dishes and clean up for the cat.

Kill me with one sword!

However, she didn't have the courage to die, as the tragic deaths of her two roommates were still vivid in her mind. She had no choice but to obey the order pitifully.
