New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 86 Running
physiological response
Lei Ye was not sure whether he would have such a reaction when taking a sauna, but he had been rubbed by an old man in the bathhouse. It was an experience that was almost like a psychological trauma. Since then, he rarely bought the bath-scrubbing service.

Lei Ye was very cautious about the unexpected bathing together, but he endured giving Jiejie a bath, but couldn't stand the sauna.

The specially made underwear could cover the initial state, but this state was really unbearable. Seeing that Jiejie over there had discovered something, Lei Ye could no longer hide it and could only cover his face to try to deceive himself.

"Ah wow wow"

However, what he heard was this voice, and he opened his eyes.

The one who crawled over like a cat was Jiejie in her stupid state.

She didn't even notice that the towel had slipped off and just looked at him stupidly.

Grinning intimately.

Lei Ye let out a helpless sigh and reached out to touch her pink hair.

There was a feeling of relief.

He must not have stayed here for those five years just to have four fans living together. He must have stopped here because of this cute little thing that had a little bit of her own tricks.

Can.
He found that she was not as straightforward as he had imagined. Just now, he saw that Jiejie was in a state that was almost "fawning" and wanted to get close to him, but he was completely on guard.

Yes, it was defended.

A pair of large cherry-pink horns appeared in Lei Ye's mind.

"Actually, I've done a lot of things that would make you scream 'weird'."

Lei Ye pressed Jiejie's little head and remained silent.

In fact, the world without Buyadi is not bad, and many people like him.

But he suddenly wanted to listen to the big guy's weirdness again.

Considering the depth of the forest lake we experienced earlier, its size is also quite exaggerated.

Running around the lake three times is not like a simple 1,000-meter race, it is a marathon that tests speed and endurance.

Jiejie's physical strength is not that good. Basically, this is a one-on-two match.

However, although he was not optimistic about it, Lei Ye still took out the food he had carefully prepared for Jiejie as agreed.

【Roasted rabbit leg】

: After use, the agility attribute increases by 100%.

There is no need to worry about the medicinal properties of the food, as it is free of additives and pollution, so Lei Ye also prepared some other food as a supplement. However, Jie Jie only had the intelligence regeneration potion.
Lei Ye looked at Congming Jie who was sitting aside and ate the meat he handed over first, then took out another bottle of potion. This marathon did not restrict the use of potions, and what mattered was how far the power of the potion could develop the human body.

[Speed ​​Potion]

This is the potion that Jiejie prepared herself. It also improves the agility attribute, but it is a fixed increase instead of a proportional increase.

The potion was a good one, but since she had already taken a tablet of intelligence recovery potion, her nose started bleeding immediately after finishing this bottle.

Pink fever.
Maybe the sauna helped a little, but it was still unbearable.

"Are you sure everything is okay?" Lei Ye asked with a worried look on his face.

"fine."

Jiejie waved her hand and staggered to her seat.

Looking at her back, Lei Ye had the illusion for some reason that he was taking his child to a school sports meet, but the bad boy next to his child was making faces and talking trash, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Everyone is in their place.

The magic fireworks exploded in the air, and Lei Ye watched Jiejie shoot out like an arrow.

Lei Ye rode on the will-o'-the-wisp and chased after it.

A bit pitiful.

Although he guessed that Jiejie would not win, Lei Ye thought it would be a scenario where she would rely on potions to rush to the front and take the lead, but would be slowly caught up due to a bout of erythema or lack of physical strength in the middle of the race, and would finally make a burst of sprint but still lose.

However, Jiejie was left behind from the very beginning. It wasn't just a matter of a few body lengths behind. The pink-haired girls went a little crazy after taking drugs. They were running wildly and noisily at a very fast speed. Soon, even their shadows could not be seen.

Those children must have put in a lot of effort. Lei Ye wanted Jiejie to win, but he was not going to use any weird tricks to make those children lose. He waited until their figures disappeared before Lei Ye accelerated, and the ghost fire ran beside Jiejie, rolling up the dust.

The little face turned red, and Jiejie clenched her teeth with an unwilling expression.

Lei Ye really wanted to tell you to just not run away. This is clearly your weak point. Just win it next time. Why suffer this?

But Jiejie was determined. Lei Ye didn't want to talk to her and interrupt her rhythm, so he just followed her silently.

There's no hope at all.

After running half a lap, Jiejie began to breathe heavily.

Because of her erythema, she didn't take any drugs to enhance her endurance, so she soon lost her strength. Even though Lei Ye was cheering her on, her head was still drooping as if it was filled with lead.

"Ha ha ha ha."

There was laughter from behind.

Lei Ye looked back and saw that it was Ai'er Meimei who was walking towards him with a pair of long legs. She laughed triumphantly.

Although that arrogant face was a bit annoying, looking at that pair of strong long legs, Lei Ye found it hard to imagine what kind of training this guy had to go through to be able to run faster than that Elili. He silently made way for her and watched her pass by Jiejie.

He could be stingy and scold her, but Lei Ye was not prepared to trample on her long-term efforts at this time.

He was just a little curious. Logically speaking, this segment should be Lili's home court. Although she didn't have much communication with the big guy, Lei Ye often saw her wearing white socks and practicing her legs at the door. How could this allow Meimei to run to the front?

He soon had the answer to this question.

After running for a while, Lei Ye saw Lili in front of him. She didn't run forward, but walked back with her neck raised, looking like she was anxiously looking for something.

When she saw Jiejie, she relaxed and shrugged.

Then, a somewhat sad expression appeared on her face. She watched Jiejie staggering as she ran, her clothes gradually soaked with sweat. Lili wanted to say something but didn't dare to, so she just ran behind her silently, like a younger sister chasing after her sister to play.

Oh, it really is.

Lei Ye glanced at Jiejie, who probably didn't notice, so he turned around and waved at Lili, motioning her to get in the car.

The guy hesitated for a moment, accelerated a little, and then sat on the back seat of Leiye like he was riding a merry-go-round. The Will-O-Wonder let out a scream of metal collision, and raised his head slightly, and the front wheel was in the air.

"You should lose weight, sister"

"Losing weight is useless. I'm too light to hit anyone."

"By the way, you really dare to get in my car. According to the rules, you lose if you get in my car."

"It's okay. I can't win anyway. I'm just a little worried about Sister Jiejie. Isn't her erythema still not healed?"

Lei Ye was stunned at first, then suddenly laughed.

Although he didn't look back, he could imagine the unhappy and slightly worried face of the big guy behind him. The guy who wanted to beat him up when they first met now seemed much more likable.

He imagined that if one day he was brought to Buyadi on a leash, would that guy calmly think and say thank you for taking care of him during this period? Impossible, he would definitely punch him!
Thinking about it this way, Lili is much cuter than her mother and sister.

Jiejie heard their conversation, and she raised her head with great effort, looking over here and meeting Lili's gaze. "It's me, it's me, long time no see, Sister Jiejie!"

Lili waved her arms and gestured so vigorously that the will-o'-the-wisp shook a little. Her voice was a little happy and a little nervous, so Lei Ye remembered one thing. Jiejie had never spoken to her sister in the smart Jie state.

"What are you doing? You're going to lose," Jie Jie said breathlessly.

"I know, but the key is that I can't win. I'm not good at making potions, and my magic power is a complete waste in the next round. What's the point even if I win? Just now, when I looked back, I found that you were gone. I was shocked. I thought you fainted from running, so I came back to look for you."

"But if you win the race, Meimei won't be able to win, right? I remember there are big problems with the rules of your competition. There is no score calculation for the three major events. It only depends on who wins more championships. If you beat Meimei, then your sister will at best be in a tie." Lei Ye interrupted Lili.

There was silence behind her for a while, and then Lili suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no!", as if she had suddenly turned a corner.

She jumped out of the car, then started running, shouting at Lei Ye as she ran.

"Don't tell me I got into your car!"

He ran so fast that he disappeared in a flash.

Even if it was considered cheating according to the rules, if she could still win after running back half a lap, then Lei Ye had nothing to say.

He turned his head to look at Jiejie.

Her pace was getting slower and slower, as if she was running out of energy, or as if she had something to say, or perhaps both.

She was panting so hard that she even started coughing. While coughing out big tears from the corners of her eyes, she reached out to support Lei Ye's body as he slowed down, grabbed his clothes and jumped lightly, then sat on his back seat.

Jiejie's way of running would get her nothing except getting herself out of breath. Lei Ye had been waiting for her to give up. Now that he saw that she had chosen to compromise, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned the handle to speed up.

Isn't it great that the magic will-o'-the-wisp carries the magic girl?

He heard a small cry behind him.

"I have a younger sister again, I have a younger sister again"

This sob is a bit strange and incomprehensible.

However, Lei Ye's heart moved. He remembered the night when he and Congming Jie were refining the potion together. She declared her victory in advance with great momentum, like a little sun.

Although I was infected, it was too dazzling.

The fragile Jiejie here is more real.

"You can't win if you get on my car, is that okay?" Lei Ye asked involuntarily in a soft voice.

Without answering, Jiejie leaned on Leiye's back and wiped away her tears.

It was a while before Lei Ye heard her mumbling softly.

"I've already won."

Lei Ye didn't quite understand.

According to the rules, Jiejie has indeed admitted defeat. There is nothing she can do about it as she is indeed far behind the others.

He silently started the car music, which was a revised version of the English song that Jiejie had chosen before. The prelude of "Kate Bush-Running Up That Hill" began to roar, and he stepped on the accelerator to the limit.

The magical will-o'-the-wisp shot out like a cannonball.

In less than a minute, they caught up with Ellili. The will-o'-the-wisp flew up with the front of the car lifted up, as if time had slowed down. Jiejie looked at her sister's face, which was relieved when she saw her sister getting into the car.

She wiped away her tears and put on a smiling face.

The will-o'-the-wisp soon reached the starting point, announcing the end of the first lap. Lei Ye saw Almama sitting up from the small chair with an ugly expression on her face.

Before the competition started, Mama specifically found him and told him that it was not feasible to complete the competition using magic items.

Although the potion-making part was given the green light, it was still a contest of alchemy after all. If magic items were used, it would be completely cheating by exploiting a bug. Lei Ye expressed his understanding of this.

The big pink-haired guys waiting there were also shaking their heads and shouting something.

However, Lei Ye had no intention of winning. He just had a sudden idea to take Jiejie for a happy ride.

In this final time.

Jiejie behind me put her hands on her waist. Judging from the strength of her hands, Jiejie was turning around and looking back.

After a moment, she turned around and put one side of her face against Lei Ye's back.

"Mom, she is still like this."

She whispered, her voice coming up against Lei Ye's back.

"What does it look like?"

"Just like she taught us, winning or losing is more important than anything else. When the Ai'er family was still in the royal city, she lost politically to her opponents in the royal city. As a result, they took the opportunity to ruin her family and moved her family to such a remote place. I still remember that when I was a child, I often heard her complain about this, saying that if she had won, we could have lived in a bigger house and had a better life."

"So, in order to win, she often tells us about the law of the jungle, so she wants us to fight for a few snacks. Even if it means quarreling, she never stops us from doing so. She only feels relieved."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with this, especially since I've experienced the outside world and know that what she said makes sense, but...but..."

Jiejie remained silent.

He pressed his forehead against Lei Ye's back.

"Damn it. That's what I was going to tell you in the bathroom."

Jiejie's description of her mother was consistent with Lei Ye's impression. That lady was a woman who could seduce her daughter's boyfriend for her own purposes.

Of course Lei Ye could feel that Madam Mama was not a bad person.

But it's very twisted.

In her eyes, she must be a very useful person, so it doesn't matter even if someone doesn't like her, even if someone puts a dog leash on her daughter, or even if she is a demon from the enemy camp, because she is someone who can bring great benefits to the Ai'er family, so it doesn't matter.

With this kind of education, her daughters also...
No. Not bad.

At least Lili is not that annoying to Leiye, and Jiejie is even more likable, that Meimei.
"So, your rosacea was indeed caused by your sister, right?" Lei Ye asked.

".I can't be sure."

Listening to Jiejie's answer, I realized that she actually thought the same thing as I did, but she had no evidence.

The difference is that Lei Ye is sure that it was Meimei, the bitch, who did it without any evidence, but without evidence, Jiejie is unwilling to believe it.

“Winning is important, but winning is not everything.”

Jiejie said.

"I have been running behind my sisters since I was a child. When I run fast, I will slow down. When I run slow, I will look at their backs. At this time, I feel happy about my small defeat. But because I am the elder sister, I can only run behind? Why can't my sisters look back at me like I wait for them? Why do I have to be like an enemy?"

"I want to win. After I become the heir of the Ai Er family, I will find a way to correct the bigotry of my mother and sisters. In the future, my children should not be educated like this."

She used a little more strength to hold Lei Ye, and her voice was choked with sobs.

"But it's great. My sister has come back. I have a sister again."

　I think the traditional school is not bad.
