The Buggiest System

82 - That Stage

"Sis, cook me some food, I'm starving," Zhou Lei said to Zhou Zhenya.

At this point, Zhou Zhenya was too dumbfounded to even refuse his order, and ended walking out of the room and towards the kitchen, preparing a sandwich for her brother! She placed the sandwich on a plate.

"This sandwich looks tasty."

It was only when she was already heading back to the computer room that she realized something was amiss. "Wait a minute... Why am I giving him food?!"

"Might as well...," Zhou Zhenya picked the sandwich up and took a bite, anticipating its taste. For some reason, Zhou Zhenya felt strangely confident that the taste would be better than usual.

The sandwich reached her taste buds. Have you heard of the saying, "The higher you go, the lower you fall down" or something along those lines?

Zhou Zhenya's expectations for the taste of the sandwich were too high, so when she ended tasting the actual sandwich, she couldn't help but be extremely disappointed. She took a couple more bites to confirm.

"It tastes... bland. Ehm...," Zhou Zhenya was disheartened. In her heart, she was glad that the sandwich didn't reach her brother's tongue. Otherwise, as the better chef he is, he would have criticized her dish harshly.

"Bro, I don't want to!" She ended up walking to the table and responding to her brother's earlier command while putting the plate with the sandwich back on the table.

She left it there and headed towards her room, where she now had a strong desire to study...

.....

Zhou Lei anticipated the meal from his sister. Since she too had absorbed the Master Chef Book, with her superior stats than his, he wondered if it would be enough to satisfy his taste.

Hearing Zhou Zhenya's refusal after such a long time of waiting made Zhou Lei mad. He stood up and headed to the kitchen, as his stomach was growling.

As he left, the computer was still typing in letters, without any input from the keyboard. It seems that... the earlier input from the keyboard was too fast and the computer could not keep up at all! It was only now that the computer started processing his later taps.

The only reason that Zhou Lei didn't notice this was that he himself did not know the keys he was typing. His hand was too fast for his eyes to keep up with, especially with these Idea Glasses.

Zhou Lei arrived at the kitchen and saw that there was actually a sandwich on the table.

"Hmm? What is this?" Looking at the half-eaten sandwich that was on the plate, he saw that it was newly made.

He picked it up and put it against his nose. He smelled it and an expression of pleasure appeared on Zhou Lei's face. "This smells good!"

"Could it be...? My little sis is acting all bashful? Well, everyone goes through that stage someday..."
