I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 377 The drunkard doesn’t care about drinking

Lezhi chatted with Lechu for a long time, until Leixiu finished cooking dinner, and Lezhi reluctantly hung up.

The main ingredient for dinner was naturally the octopus meat that Lezhi had relentlessly hunted. Following Lezhi's instructions, Lei Xiu tried various cooking methods such as frying, stir-frying, steaming, deep-frying, and braising. He also added the stinky juice that Lezhi requested. It's easy to imagine how satisfied Lezhi was with this meal.

Fresh seafood can easily outshine many other delicacies. Here, "fresh" refers not only to the freshness of the ingredients but also to their fresh taste and flavor. Lezhi is not picky about food; as long as it tastes good, he embraces all kinds of food and accepts them all.

The two of them, along with the two birds, ate almost a third of the octopus in one meal, most of which was eaten by Lezhi. In the end, Lei Xiu and the two birds had long since finished their battle and could only watch as Lezhi continued to eat at a steady but elegant pace.

The furball was so frightened that it started hiccuping and it took a long time to come to its senses.

"Zhizhi, are you really alright?" Lei Xiu diligently cleaned up the mess in the restaurant and kitchen.

He cooked and cleaned up the dinner, while Lezhi only had to eat. Lei Xiu had taken Lezhi's Schrödinger's appetite into account when he was cooking, but he almost couldn't finish it. He added a few more dishes later to feed Lezhi.

Fortunately, octopus meat is relatively easy to cook. It can be stir-fried or blanched for a few dozen seconds and then it's ready to serve. Steaming is even simpler, with several stoves working together. The sauce was later prepared by Lezhi himself.

"Hmm, it's okay, I'm so full and satisfied." Her bottomless stomach had consumed dozens of times more food than usual, but Lezhi's abdomen remained flat. She had no idea where all that food had gone.

Seeing that Lezhi was slumped there and didn't seem to be uncomfortable, Lei Xiu didn't ask any more questions. After bringing over a cup of food, he placed a cola bottle next to Lezhi for her to eat. He sat down next to Lezhi. By this time, the cola had also finished eating and drinking. It spread its wings and flapped them, gliding all the way from the back of the dining chair, finally landing next to Lei Xiu in a slightly disheveled manner.

"Chi chi chi~"

"Yes, I saw it. You did well, but don't push yourself too hard."

"Chi chi chi~"

Attracted by the noise of the cola, Lezhi raised one eye and saw it pecking at Lei Xiu's fingertip. The moment the sharp beak touched the fingertip, there seemed to be a flash of electricity.

"Does Cola still need you to feed it electricity often?" With her stomach full, Lezhi was in the mood to care about other things and asked casually.

Lei Xiu nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, the little guy has quite an appetite. It's already consuming more electricity than many people in the clan every day." If this continues, one day his reserves will run out. If Cola's demand keeps increasing, then he'll either have to work hard to increase his own power reserve limit, or he'll have to chase after the heavenly lightning with Cola.

Lezhi also thought of this, and he gradually sat up. "So that means you might have to take it back to your clan, I mean the Thunder Clan, right?" According to the information he had learned before, the place where lightning was most likely to appear in Jormungand was right in the Thunder Clan's territory, Purple Cloud Ridge, which was also where Lei Xiu had trained since childhood.

So, are they going to break up so soon?

Feeling a bit down, the good mood from eating and drinking to her heart suddenly deflated like a balloon with a hole punched in it. Lezhi raised her hand and pressed it against her chest, trying to relieve the discomfort in her heart with external force.

Upon hearing Lezhi's words, Lei Xiu turned his head, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes. When he saw Lezhi avoiding his gaze and his actions, he immediately became like a cat smelling blood, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Will it be what he hopes for? Lei Xiu leaned forward slightly, shortening the distance between himself and Le Zhi.

Their eyes searched for Lezhi's gaze, trying to find some clues in Lezhi's eyes, but Lezhi dodged them all.

"Zhizhi..." Lei Xiu called out, but didn't say anything. He just waited quietly for Lezhi's response. Lezhi didn't want to look at him, but her ears were perked up. After waiting for a long time without hearing Lei Xiu's reply, she turned her head suspiciously and bumped into Lei Xiu's smiling face.

"What?" Her tone carried three parts impatience, three parts doubt, and four parts that even Lezhi herself couldn't quite distinguish.

Such a brief answer still couldn't completely confirm Lei Xiu's thoughts. "Zhi Zhi." He still only called her by her name, but this time his tone was more determined.

Lezhi hadn't reacted yet, and was even a little annoyed by Lei Xiu. He glared at him, about to explode, "What are you yelling about? Just say what you want to say."

Now Lei Xiu was certain: the remaining four parts were inexplicable and stemmed from a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

The curve of his lips deepened, and Lei Xiu's eyes seemed to sparkle like stars, with each star gathering in his dark purple pupils to resemble Le Zhi. "I won't go back unless you come with me."

"What?" Le Zhi was clearly stunned for a moment, a blank look flashing in his eyes, before he realized that Lei Xiu was answering his previous question. Realizing the meaning behind Lei Xiu's words, Le Zhi instinctively raised the corners of his mouth, then quickly pursed his lips and suppressed it. "Oh, it's up to you. Whether you leave or not is your freedom."

Anyway, they had already talked things out yesterday. They both knew that the so-called life-saving grace was just an excuse from Lei Xiu. The moment Le Zhi chose to point it out, Lei Xiu no longer needed to follow him.

Lezhi had been pretending not to care all day, but just now she couldn't help but probe Lei Xiu's thoughts.

However, this does not mean that Lezhi will accept Lei Xiu. He vaguely stated that Lezhi will always maintain a superior position in the relationship, at least verbally.

"Alright, it's late. I should be busy tomorrow, so I'm going to rest now... Goodnight." Picking up the fur ball, Lezhi's eyes, which had been darting away since earlier, finally met Lei Xiu's again when it was time to say goodnight.

It lasted only a second before they separated again.

Lezhi turned her gaze to Cola, "Cola, you should go to sleep early too, see you tomorrow."

"Chirp chirp chirp~" I want to sleep with Zhizhi.

Although it had already teamed up with Lei Xiu, Cola was still a fledgling bird that hadn't grown any hard feathers yet, so naturally it didn't want to leave the nest. When Le Zhi was unconscious, it stayed by Le Zhi's side with Mao Qiu.

Yesterday, Lezhi and Leixiu had a fight. In an attempt to comfort Leixiu, but instead of getting angry, it was separated from Lezhi for the first time at night.

Now, at least on the surface, Lezhi and Leixiu are fine, and Leixiu doesn't need its comfort, so Kele naturally wants to fight for its own benefits. But Maoqiu won't allow it.

"Chirp chirp~"

The furry ball, which had been nestled peacefully in Lezhi's arms, immediately raised its wing roots, its eyes sharp as knives, and rebuked in a shrill voice as soon as it heard that Kele intended to return to the nest.

You don't need to understand the meaning behind its words; you can tell the furry ball's attitude just by looking at it.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. Cola is still small, we'll teach her slowly." Lezhi almost dropped the fluffy ball, and quickly raised her hand to stroke the base of its wings until the little fluffy ball relaxed again. Only then did Lezhi look at Cola, who had been startled.

Cola huddled pitifully in a ball, seemingly frightened, but when Lezhi looked over, it instinctively stretched out its wings in Lezhi's direction. Clearly, it knew that Lezhi was in charge, and as long as Lezhi agreed, the furball's protests were meaningless.

But Lezhi's next words made Kele completely give up.

Between a fluffy ball and cola, Lezhi chose the fluffy ball without the slightest hesitation.

When Cola asked for a hug, Lezhi just shook her head, her feet rooted to the spot. "Cola, no, sorry. From now on, you should sleep with Lei Xiu. Be good, okay?"

"Chi chi chi~"

Watching Lezhi's figure disappear from sight, Cola's bewildered little black bean eyes showed some frustration. She turned to look at her human companion, her eyes filled with disappointment.

"Alright, stop looking at me like that. Even Maoqiu couldn't tell that you were actually after it, not Lezhi. Let's not talk about who's right..."
