Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 57

Lisa only lost two rounds for the entire afternoon on Landlord that they played. It was always when Jungkook wad the landlord and he had used the two strokes to draw a tiny moustache on her face.

As for Jungkook, Lisa had helped him to line his eyes exquisitely. She had retraced each eye line numerous times, each time elongating the end the a little more with a flick. Jungkook's originally handsome eyes had been embellished until it held a beguiling charm.

He blinked lightly and languidly raised his eyes to look at Lisa.

Mesmerizing and terrifying, this was a beauty capable of devastating cities.

Oh My.

Lisa clutched her chest dramatically. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, a devil indeed".

Jungkook could not keep his straight face and burst into laughter.

Jimin inched over with a simpering smile, his expression begging to be praised, "Boss, what about me?"

"You're a nightmare".

"....QAQ"

Jimin looked at his reflection in the mirror, sad and depressed.

Actually, this was not his appearance's fault. One has to know that most of lines on his face were drawn by Jungkook. At first, Jungkook only helped Lisa to line his eyes. The problem was, being a straight guy, the eye lines he drew were just do darn straight as well. Stroke by stroke, the line appearing on Jimin's eyelids were like withered grass. This painting style reminded Jimin of painting the sun as a child. Then, straight lines had indicated the sun's brightness.

Later, Jungkook stopped drawing eye lines. He went along with his whim and drew a bicycle on Jimin's left cheek.

A! Fricking! Bicycle!

Just how many rounds had he lost....TT~

With this huge blow, Jimin mourned in silence.

Lisa said, "You can't avoid victories and defeats in battles. I'll treat you guys to a meal".

Jimin perked up a little, "Oh? Boss, what are you treating us to?"\

"Let's see what there is in my fridge".

Jimin silently swallowed his delusions of "seafood buffet" before he could voice it out loud.

Lisa went to the kitchen and discovered quiet a number of items in the fridge.

Jimin followed behind Lisa and watched as she took out stuff from the compartments like a pro.

Jungkook crossed his arms and leaned against the kitchen entrance, watching them in a manner that seemed like he was supervising from the side. With his tall build, fair face and beguilingly lined eye, the way he surveyed them expressionlessly had the bearing of a queen.

Lisa hefted the potato in her hand and tossed Jungkook a glance. She said, "Jungkook, you are really look like Dongfang Bubai now".

Jungkook thought of the missing object on Dongfang Bubai's body and his face darkened.

Jimin asked Lisa, "Boss, you know how to cook?"

"Please". Lisa pointed at the fully stuffed fridge. "I know how to cook everything here".

"You're that capable?" Jimin was deeply impressed.

"Of course. Go on, set the table with Zhen's Seven Treasures Exquisite Grand Hot Pot".

Jimin: I can't believe I fell for that!

His arms still crossed, Jungkook watched these two idiot children's play around. In the end, he quirked his lips lightly, unable to hold the soft smile in despite his disdain.

....

The hot pot soup base and ingredients were all readily available. Besides the vegetables in the fridge, Lisa also found fish balls, beef balls, mutton slices and frozen prawns the size of her palm in the freezer. They prepared the ingredients before gathering ground the table, ready to din in.

All three of them had big appetites. The tableful of ingredients diminished rapidly as they methodically polished off the streaming hot food as soon as they cooked. In the midst of eating, Jimin raised his head. Realizing their eating frenzy, he suddenly broke into laughter.

Lisa was baffled. "What are you laughing for?"

"I suddenly recalled the scene I saw when visiting the pig farm in primary school".

Lisa and Jungkook stared at him in silence.

Jimin also realize the inappropriateness of this comparison. He coughed in embarrassment and purposely asked, "Boss, you guys should also gone before, right?"

"We went to a chicken farm". Jungkook said.

"Oh? Was it fun?"

"Still alright. After we came back, your boss did something even more fun than visiting the chicken farm".

Jimin asked curiously, "What was it?"

When Jungkook was about to speak, Lisa hurriedly raised her chopsticks to hit him. "You're not allowed to say!"

Jungkook chuckled and ducked backwards out of her reach. When she withdrew her chopsticks, he straightened and pretended that he was about to speak again. This mad Lisa re-raised her chopsticks to hit him.

Jimin was about to die of curiosity. "So what was it? Please stop playing, the two of you are burning my eyes! Can you tell me before I lose my sight...."

Unfortunately, Jimin never got his wish. Jungkook succumbed to Lisa's tyranny and failed to say anything till the very end. He merely passed her an egg with a grin.

Lisa kicked him under the table.

Jimin released a long sigh, lowered his head and sent a message to Chaeyoung.

Jimin: "What are you doing Chipmunk?"

Chaeyoung: "Eating, watching TV. Why?"

Jimin: "I kind of need you a little right now".

Chaeyoung: "Jimin, do you need someone to bail you out of the police station right now? Spill it Mochi, sex, gambling and drugs....which offence did you commit?"

Jimin:  "....So that's how you actually think of me!"

Chaeyoung: "Then why do you need me?"

Jimin: "You know what, my boss is being targeted by an experienced swindler".

Chaeyoung: "Is it Jeon Jungkook?"

Jimin: "Bingo"

Chaeyoung: "Waah, I still carrying my king's child!"

Jimin sweated. He had nearly forgotten that Chaeyoung was a talented graduate of the 'drama queen' academy and had went on the 'rogue' academy to be a doctoral advisor. He was really grasping at straws at this point....

Chaeyoung: "Actually, I want to see how wretched consorts outside try to seduce my king".

Jimin: "...."

Chaeyoung: "Can you help me to record it? Make sure it's as detailed as possible".

Jimin: "I...."

Chaeyoung sent Jimin a sticker of a Lolita acting cure, causing him to agree unwittingly.

....It must be because the sticker was too cute!
