As soon as the message from the chubby gourmet was posted, the live streaming room immediately livened up.

"Wow, it's the most professional food critic across the platform. If he says so... baby wants to eat Shen Qiang's chicken even more!"

"Kneeling down to the great god, if the chubby gourmet says so, it must be right!"

"Wuwuwu... I want a boyfriend like this, someone who's thoughtful with medicinal cuisine and has a commanding gaze, knowledgeable as well."

Once this barrage appeared, it instantly couldn't stop.

"So jealous of Yaoyao, if I met a man this considerate who could cook and even dare to tough it out against the platform for me, I would definitely marry him."

"Don't say that, guys, Shen Qiang is clearly my type."

"Sigh... Girl, if you meet such a man, just marry him."

"Get together, get together!"

Seeing all kinds of messages flood in, Lv Shuyao's face turned red.

Fortunately, Shen Qiang was there to help her out.

While tasting Lv Shuyao's dishes and chatting with people in the live stream, although his explanation style was somewhat different from a real food blogger, Shen Qiang was originally a medical student and had inherited the Medical Saint Inheritance.

Whether it was the characteristics of the ingredients or the nutritional components, he explained everything eloquently.

So, not only did the popularity in the room not decrease, it even got higher.

By the time Shen Qiang finished eating Lv Shuyao's meal and ended the stream, the number of online viewers in Lv Shuyao's room had already surpassed three hundred thousand.

He turned off the live stream.

After Lv Shuyao efficiently helped Shen Qiang clean up everything.

The time had already reached nine thirty in the night.

After shutting off the live stream, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat ambiguous.

Especially Lv Shuyao, who kept thinking about the constant 'get together' in the live stream, felt her heartbeat strangely accelerating.

But after much consideration, Lv Shuyao still said to Shen Qiang, "Thank you for today, but it's getting late, and I should go home."

Shen Qiang smiled gracefully, "I'll take you home."

Lv Shuyao nodded.

And almost at the same time, a sudden thunderclap sounded outside the window.

The room immediately turned pitch black due to the power outage.

Boom!

Another flash of lightning.

Startled by the suddenness, Lv Shuyao couldn't help but pounce towards Shen Qiang, exclaiming, "Shen Qiang!"

Bang!

Feeling Lv Shuyao hugging his waist tightly, Shen Qiang asked in astonishment, "What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid of the dark!"

Crack!

Bright thunder sounded outside the window.

Holding onto Shen Qiang's waist even tighter, Lv Shuyao trembled and said, "And I'm even more afraid of thunder."

Shen Qiang laughed, his arm gently wrapped around her back, softly comforting, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, I'm here."

Lv Shuyao fell silent for a moment, softly murmuring an acknowledgment.

By then, the drizzle that had clouded for a few hours had turned into a downpour.

Shen Qiang, looking out at the pitch-black city, spoke softly, "The power's out, and it's pouring outside. Let me take you home after the rain lightens up, okay?"

Lv Shuyao softly hummed in agreement.

As the storm hammered against the windows, a worried Shen Qiang gently wrapped his arms around Lv Shuyao, and they moved to close the windows properly.

"If you're tired, you can rest on the bed. I'll go outside, and once the rain eases up, I'll take you home."

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's words, Lv Shuyao first hummed softly, then suddenly grabbed Shen Qiang, saying anxiously, "I'm scared of the dark, stay with me."

Shen Qiang nodded, then sat down on the bed.

Lv Shuyao let go and sat by the bed.

The atmosphere in the room turned awkward, but just then, as a thunderclap sounded, Lv Shuyao, who had just let go of Shen Qiang, plunged into his arms again.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

For a long while, there was no more thunder outside, only the relentless rain battering against the window.

"Have you ever had a girlfriend?"

Lv Shuyao's question led Shen Qiang to look slightly saddened, but only for a moment before he smiled brightly, feeling Lv Shuyao's soft warmth and said, "I suppose I have."

"Did you guys break up a long time ago?" Lv Shuyao asked cautiously.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Graduation is breakup season, and internships follow the same logic. I ended up at Bikang, and she went to Medical University Second Hospital. With such a clear gap, forcing it would obviously make no sense."

Lv Shuyao said with some surprise, "So you dumped her because Bikang wasn't good enough?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "You're thinking too much. I come from a small suburban town and am inherently a farmer at heart. Finding a suitable woman to seriously spend my life with has always been my dream."

Lv Shuyao, stunned in Shen Qiang's arms, exclaimed, "So she thought you had no prospects and dumped you?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Let's not talk about such embarrassing things."

"Is it because it still hurts?" Lv Shuyao pressed.

Shen Qiang laughed, and, under the fleeting lightning outside the dark window, looked at Lv Shuyao in his arms and spoke softly, "Love is too complicated, let's talk about you instead. I had never imagined before that you would be a 'broadcaster.'

Lv Shuyao chuckled suddenly, then coquettishly asked, "So between me and Xin Xiaoting, who do you like more?"

Shen Qiang was helpless, "That's even more awkward."

In the flash of light outside the window, Shen Qiang clearly saw Lv Shuyao gazing seductively at him.

"No direct answer, that means you do have feelings for her," the coquettish Lv Shuyao said as she got up and straddled Shen Qiang, gazing intensely into his eyes.

She then positioned Shen Qiang's hands onto her waist.

"I like you, even though it might not be very reserved of me to say so, but I don't want to tell you these words only after I've lost you."

Shen Qiang was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Lv Shuyao, he said, "Are you serious?"

Lv Shuyao quietly looked at Shen Qiang, then slowly bent down and, drawing closer, softly kissed Shen Qiang.

This gentle kiss, like a spark in a wasteland, instantly set Shen Qiang's blood aflame.

And at that moment.

In the dim light of the lightning outside.

Shen Qiang clearly saw Lv Shuyao looking at him with tender affection. In her beautiful eyes, there was no confusion, no shyness, and no hesitation, only a resolute determination.

"I want to be with you," Lv Shuyao said with utmost seriousness.
