Top-Tier Superpower Student

Chapter 198 Kiss Me!

Seeing Li Nian's seductive look, Lin Tian swallowed hard and glanced at He Qianqian beside him with a wry smile.

"I don't have a problem, but conditions don't allow it!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here!" As soon as Lin Tian finished speaking, He Qianqian angrily smacked him on the head with a textbook.

This heartless guy, does he really think about being served by both his cousin and me?

Too much!

"Uh…" Lin Tian touched his head, looking embarrassed.

When Lin Tian had made that earlier comment, he had held a sliver of hope that He Qianqian would agree, but it seemed he had been daydreaming.

With a helpless shrug, Lin Tian glanced at the two girls and stood up, saying, "Well, I'm off then!"

"Off where? I'm getting hungry. Let's go have some late-night snacks!" Seeing Lin Tian actually about to leave, Li Nian suddenly spoke up.

Li Nian said this because, on one hand, she was indeed hungry, and on the other hand, she still wanted Lin Tian to make her another glass of that "Anti-aging Water."

She was somewhat unwilling to just let him go like that.

"Late-night snacks?" Hearing this, Lin Tian was startled. He wasn't very hungry, but he thought a little outing wouldn't hurt.

With that thought, Lin Tian immediately said, "It's all the same to me, we'll have to see if He Qianqian is up for it."

Seeing that both seemed tempted by the idea, He Qianqian hesitated for a moment and then said, "Alright, let's go, but we need to return early."

He Qianqian had classes the next day and she usually followed a very regular routine, going to sleep at a set time if there was nothing else to do.

"Okay, then let's get going!" When He Qianqian agreed, Li Nian giggled, wrapping her arms around Lin Tian's.

She pressed her body tightly against Lin Tian, looking very intimate!

"Cousin!" Seeing Li Nian's affectionate gesture, He Qianqian said discontentedly.

"Ugh! Petty!" Noticing He Qianqian's dissatisfied expression, Li Nian pursed her lips and let go of Lin Tian's arm.

As Li Nian's hand released him, a hint of disappointment flashed across Lin Tian's face.

Just now, it felt pretty awesome. He had even fantasized about being flanked by both women.

"Hmph!" He Qianqian huffed.

"Okay, let's go, let's go!" At this moment, Li Nian cheerfully tried to smooth things over.

As they left He Qianqian's room, she made sure nobody was outside before letting Lin Tian out, to avoid suspicion.

Even after they stepped out of the dorm, He Qianqian made Lin Tian keep his distance on campus out of caution.

Many people on campus knew He Qianqian and Lin Tian, and seeing them too close could give the wrong impression, especially since it was still evening and there were people around.

Once they reached the street outside the school gates, Lin Tian relaxed a lot, and despite He Qianqian's resistance, he just took her hand.

The three then hailed a taxi to a nearby food stall.

The stall was sparsely populated, with just a few patrons scattered about.

They sat down and started ordering food.

There wasn't much to choose for late-night snacks, just stir-fried snails and some cold dishes.

The three ate and chatted, with Li Nian doing most of the talking, and what she talked about the most was the Anti-aging Water.

She still couldn't resign herself to just letting Lin Tian get away.

But Lin Tian was determined not to yield the Anti-aging Water so easily.

He had already given her one bottle, which was worth a Superpower Point.

So no matter how subtly Li Nian hinted, mocked, or tried to provoke him, Lin Tian remained unfazed. He just kept eating snails and replied with noncommittal answers.

Seeing her efforts in vain as Lin Tian remained indifferent, Li Nian became a bit irritated and mouthed: "Ugh! Boring!"

"You're just wasting your time!" Lin Tian watched Li Nian with a mischievous smile. Picking up a snail, he sucked lightly, then bit into it, extracting the flesh inside.

He really liked this kind of stir-fried snail, especially enjoying the tangy and spicy taste that burst on his tongue.

Of course, Lin Tian liked the stir-fried snails he made even more.

Ever since he had acquired the level-one cooking superpower, Lin Tian would sometimes cook, but he was quite lazy, preferring not to bother even if the dish someone else made wasn't very tasty.

Seeing how Lin Tian continued to enjoy his food nonchalantly after all her talking, Li Nian glared at him in annoyance and then reached out to pick up a snail and suck the juice and flesh out together. After a few chews, she shook her head in disappointment:

"The taste is far from as good. I really miss the stir-fried snails your mom makes!" Li Nian said, looking up at He Qianqian.

"That's true! My mom's stir-fried snails are extraordinary!" He Qianqian laughed as she picked up a piece of dried tofu.

"Stop it, I'm going to drool just thinking about it!" The memory of He Qianqian's mom's stir-fried snails made Li Nian instantly lose her appetite compared to what they were eating.

"Is it really that delicious?" After glancing at the two girls, Lin Tian asked, a bit puzzled.

Lin Tian was not aware of He Qianqian's mom's level of skill, but it was true that the two girls hadn't really enjoyed the stall's stir-fried snails.

"You wouldn't know that heavenly delight since you've never tried it!" Li Nian gave Lin Tian a dismissive look.

"Heavenly delight?" Lin Tian laughed upon hearing this. Wiping his hands with a napkin from the table, he pointed to himself:

"Don't talk about heavenly delights in front of me!"

"What, you think you're a chef or something!" Li Nian said with disdain.

Lin Tian just smiled, his expression serene. A chef?

That title isn't enough to describe me anymore.

But Lin Tian didn't say anything more. Continuing would mean having to show his skills.

Lin Tian was usually unwilling to cook for himself, and he definitely didn't want to start cooking now.

Seeing that Lin Tian didn't reply, Li Nian thought he was admitting defeat. Then she looked disdainfully at him:

"Aren't you all that? Then show me!"

Also, didn't you say you have some so-called superpower? I haven't seen you exhibit any special skills! Pfft!" Li Nian looked at Lin Tian with contempt.

Li Nian was somewhat irked by Lin Tian's apparent indifference; she'd been going on about the Anti-aging Water for quite some time, but the guy seemed totally unmoved. It was only natural that she harbored some resentment towards him.

As for Li Nian's resentful and sarcastic words, Lin Tian couldn't be bothered to deal with them. He picked up a river snail and sucked on it again before turning his head to look at her with a smile:

"I can cook, no problem, but what's my reward? How about a kiss from you?"

"Pervert!" Hearing Lin Tian's somewhat frivolous words, Li Nian was taken aback and then angrily retorted:

"Fine, if you can do it, I'll kiss you! But what if you can't?"

Seeing Li Nian take the bet seriously, Lin Tian was momentarily stunned.

Lin Tian hesitated. A kiss from Li Nian didn't seem very reliable.

With He Qianqian here, even if Li Nian dared to kiss him, Lin Tian wouldn't dare to accept it.

So, if Lin Tian won, he might end up with nothing, but losing wouldn't be so simple for him.

Not a good deal!

Not a good deal!

How could this be a good deal?

Variety of thoughts flashed through his mind; then Lin Tian ignored Li Nian and continued to eat his river snails.

Seeing Lin Tian suddenly lose his nerve and shy away from the challenge, Li Nian stared at him with even more disdain:

"What's the matter? Lost your courage? Where did that tone go? I thought you were so cool! Honestly! If you don't have the sunshine, then don't outshine!"

Curling his lips, Lin Tian didn't utter a word, his expression seemed somewhat indifferent.

Noticing Lin Tian's expression, Li Nian was somewhat displeased as she spoke:

"What? Still not convinced? Then show me! If you pull it off, I promise I'll keep my word and give you a kiss!"

After speaking, Li Nian pursed her tempting red lips!

Looking at Li Nian's cherry-like little mouth, Lin Tian really wanted to take a bite!

To show off or not to show off?

As Lin Tian was hesitating, all of a sudden, he paused!

An electronic synthesized voice echoed in Lin Tian's mind.

"Task: Fulfill Li Nian's wish by making the stir-fried river snails the way she remembers them from outside!

Reward upon completion: one Superpower Point. Note: This task must be completed within fifteen minutes. Failure to complete within the assigned time is deemed as failure."

"A task notification?" Lin Tian was astonished.

At this moment, Li Nian still didn't want to let Lin Tian off the hook, looking at him with a mocking tone, she said, "Kid, if you're not capable, then don't brag! You…"

Having recovered his senses, Lin Tian cut her off directly, looking at her earnestly: "I can do it!"

"What?" Li Nian was startled, not understanding what Lin Tian meant.

"Didn't you say you wanted to eat the version your mom makes? I'll do it for you! But remember what you promised, your kiss!" Saying that, Lin Tian stood up, patted Li Nian on the shoulder, and then walked towards the owner of the food stall.

"This…" Seeing Lin Tian suddenly walk away, Li Nian was dumbfounded, somewhat unable to understand what was happening.

The change in Lin Tian was too abrupt.

The sudden shift in Lin Tian's attitude also caught He Qianqian by surprise. She found it rather confusing as well.

However, one thing was certain for both girls: Lin Tian had agreed to stir-fry the river snails and had boldly claimed he could replicate the same flavor as He Qianqian's mother.

Thinking of this, they both turned their heads to look at Lin Tian.

By that time, Lin Tian had already negotiated with the owner.

The owner had agreed!

Watching Lin Tian busily tossing and turning the river snails in the wok, Li Nian looked dumbfounded for a moment before turning to He Qianqian with a puzzled expression, "Is he good at cooking?"

He Qianqian was also somewhat bewildered, hesitantly replying:

"He should know how to cook, but I haven't heard that he's particularly skilled!"

He Qianqian had never eaten anything cooked by Lin Tian herself, so she wasn't very sure.

"He couldn't possibly replicate the same flavor as your mom, could he?" Li Nian said, looking doubtfully at He Qianqian while watching the busy Lin Tian.

At this point, Li Nian was truly skeptical.

After all, Lin Tian's Anti-aging Water had left too much of an impression on her.

What if there was a miracle?

"It shouldn't be possible. Even if the cooking is really good, flavors differ from person to person, and he hasn't even tasted my mom's stir-fried river snails." After some thought, He Qianqian shook her head.

"That's true!" Li Nian nodded, reassured by He Qianqian's words.

However, what they didn't know was that when Lin Tian stood up and patted Li Nian's shoulder, he had already activated his cooking superpower and memorized the perfect flavor of the stir-fried river snails from Li Nian's memory.

As Lin Tian stirred the river snails, wisps of white aura drifted from his body into the snails in the wok.

Gradually, a fragrant aroma began to fill the air!
