Chapter 22 Ambiguity Gradually Arises

  Xiao Lin's heart skipped a beat, this virus may not be clear to others, but Xiao Lin knew it very well. Fortunately, last year in Jingliang Province reported relatively promptly, for this highly contagious and strong virus, the domestic high-level is quite serious, immediately organized dozens of experts to conduct research, within a short half-month took down the virus.

  "How could the variant HTC4 virus appear at this time?" Xiao Lin thought back to the situation at that time, the source of the infection had been completely controlled, although the expert team found a treatment plan for the virus within half a month, they also knew that these viruses were not so easy to thoroughly eliminate. The expert team took turns going to Jingliang Province every month for two whole years without finding this virus before withdrawing from Jingliang Province.

  Four years later, the virus re-emerged in a mutated state, and Xiao Lian had an ominous feeling. Initially, the transmission speed of this infectious virus was not very fast, so it was possible to quickly control the source of infection. If the mutated virus has changed its transmission habits, such as airborne or other highly contagious methods, the harm will be even greater.

  Later, the news reported that the incident had been reported to the National Health Department, and the Health Department had urgently dispatched dozens of experts to Jingliang Province for assistance. Among these medical experts, 70% had fought against the HTC4 virus in those years, and it is believed that the situation will be brought under control soon. Please do not panic, citizens.

  After reading this message, Xiao Lin felt a little relieved. Now the domestic response to infectious diseases has been greatly strengthened, and local epidemic prevention departments are no longer as ineffective as they were ten or twenty years ago. I believe that with the capabilities of those expert groups, they should be able to effectively control the spread of the virus.

  "Not in his position, not his problem, what's the point of worrying!" Xiao Lin smiled and shook his head, then switched to the game channel.

  Xiao Lin said so, but after watching the game channel for a while, she turned back to the news channel. However, the previous news had already been broadcast. Xiao Lin switched between several news channels and found that only the provincial station of Jingliang Province was reporting. It seems that this variant infectious disease was discovered very early and did not affect other provinces and cities. With the current domestic measures and intensity for preventing infectious diseases, it should be well controlled.

  "Xiao Lin, get ready for dinner, can't you even manage to bring bowls and chopsticks?" Xia Xue shouted from the kitchen.

  At this time, Xiao Lin also put down his heart and heard Xia Xue shouting in the kitchen. He responded with a sound and got up to walk towards the kitchen.

  Just now, my attention was on the news of the variant virus, and I didn't notice the situation in the kitchen. Now, Xiao Lin is walking towards the kitchen, smelling the delicious food aroma coming from the kitchen. This smell is quite good, it seems that Xia Xue's cooking skills are not bad at all. Xiao Lin couldn't help but look forward to his future life, being able to eat such delicious food every day, this life is enough.

  Xiao Lin opened the kitchen door, and the aroma of food inside became even more intense. Xia Xue was wearing an apron at this time, with beads of sweat on her forehead, which made her look even more charming. Xiao Lin even had a sudden urge to go over and give her a hug. However, just then Xia Xue finished stir-frying the last dish, put it in a bowl, and saw Xiao Lin's dazed expression, so she glared at him and said: "What are you staring at? Haven't seen a beauty before? Hurry up and get your bowls and chopsticks!" Although her words were like this, in her heart she was actually quite pleased: Look at you, still not falling under sister's pomegranate skirt. The ancient saying that grasping a man's stomach is equivalent to grasping his heart seems to be true.

  Xiao Lin quickly took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks from the disinfection cabinet, then carried a plate of stir-fried cucumber, and in less than three minutes, three dishes and one soup were placed on the dining table.

  A steamed carp, a stir-fry of cucumber and shredded pork, a braised eggplant, and some green vegetables. The colors, smells, and tastes are all complete, the presentation is excellent, making everyone who sees it can't help but salivate.

  "It's a waste that you didn't become a chef!" Xiao Lin said with an unusually good mood, jokingly to Xia Xue.

  "Get out, being able to eat the dishes I cook, you must have accumulated a lot of virtue in your previous life!" Xia Xue was quite confident in her cooking skills: "I don't know what got into me today, I actually went to the supermarket and bought back so many vegetables, probably enough for this week's meals!"

  "It's actually not necessary to buy so much at once. Although there is a refrigerator, it's always bad to freeze things inside!" Xiao Lin knew this common sense even though she couldn't cook.

  Xia Xue nodded slyly and said, "I think so too. So from now on, when you buy vegetables, they can't be more than three days old. By the way, today's vegetable bill is a total of 386 yuan, which works out to 193 yuan per person!" Xia Xue stretched out her hand towards Xiao Lin.

  Xiao Lin sighed and smiled wryly. With such a good atmosphere, this young lady had to come up with this move. She retorted: "Can't we eat first? It's rare to have such a good atmosphere, don't you think it's vulgar to bring up money now?"

  "I don't think it's common at all!" Xia Xue chuckled and sat down.

  Xiao Lin couldn't care less about anything else now. With delicious food in front of her, she dug in with gusto, wolfing down the bowl of rice with great relish.

  Seeing Xiao Lin's eating posture, Xia Xue found it interesting. Facing such a big beauty, Xiao Lin didn't know how to be reserved. Seeing Xiao Lin's speed of picking dishes, she hurriedly said: "Don't eat so fast, be careful not to choke!" Her expression was quite like the concern between boyfriend and girlfriend.

  "Heh heh, got used to it!" Xiao Lin said while serving dishes. In the past when they were on a mission, every team member would eat as fast as possible to fill their stomachs, without wasting a single bit of food.

  Seeing Xiao Lin eating, Xia Xue also felt a sense of pride in her heart. If Xiao Lin had boasted about how delicious his cooking was but didn't eat much, it would have been a blow to himself. Now, with Xiao Lin being afraid of not eating enough, it perfectly matched Xia Xue's intentions - the dishes she made should be treated this way.

  Watching Xiao Lin eat, Xia Xue forgot to pick up her chopsticks and just watched him eating, feeling that the little man in front of her was really good and very sincere.

  "Hey, you eat! If not, I'll finish it all!" Xiao Lin ate for a while before noticing something was off about Xia Xue. Xia Xue, who had been called out by Xiao Lin, felt a bit guilty and quickly picked up her bowl and chopsticks.

  Twenty minutes later, Xia Xue stared at Xiao Lin in shock. Three dishes and a soup plus a catty of rice cooked into a meal, she herself had only eaten seven or eight liang, the rest all went into Xiao Lin's stomach.

  Xiao Lin let out a satisfied burp and said: "It's been a long time since I've eaten so freely!"
