Chapter 37: New magic, dinner

It only took a dozen seconds from the moment the Suit Man's defenses were breached to his luxury car being hit by a garbage truck.

Qin Yuxue, who witnessed the entire scene, couldn't help but part her lips slightly, her face filled with surprise, the blush from earlier shyness still lingering.

She only snapped back to reality when the Suit Man arrived at his luxury car and started throwing out bags of garbage.

And it was then that she suddenly felt Lin Ye release her hand.

Under her puzzled gaze, Lin Ye picked up the flowers that the Suit Man had just thrown on the ground.

He first brushed off the dust, then tore off the card on the flowers, flicked it with his finger, and the card accurately flew into the nearby trash can.

The next second, he took the bouquet of flowers and approached Qin Yuxue.

Looking at the flowers in Lin Ye's hand, Qin Yuxue couldn't help but say with disgust,

"Throw them away, why pick them up?"

"It's a waste to throw them away, and flowers are innocent. They have no right to choose who buys them, don't you agree?"

"But the way he arranged these flowers is indeed tacky. The bright red and purple don't quite match your temperament."

As he spoke, Lin Ye pulled out a few stems from inside.

Seeing his actions, Qin Yuxue couldn't help but be curious.

"What are you doing?"

"Changing them, close your eyes."

"Oh, oh." Although she didn't know what Lin Ye intended to do, Qin Yuxue still closed her eyes.

And the moment she closed her eyes, Lin Ye replaced the overly vibrant flowers in his hand.

The replaced flowers were those he had bought at the night market near the school last night.

"Alright, they're changed. You can open your eyes."

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Qin Yuxue immediately opened her eyes.

After she clearly saw the bouquet in Lin Ye's hand, she immediately showed a look of disbelief.

The main flower in the original bouquet had been changed from roses to a sunflower, accompanied by a few pure white daisies.

Instantly, the bouquet became much fresher.

"How is it? Isn't it much better now?"

"Mhm, mhm, mhm." Qin Yuxue subconsciously nodded repeatedly.

"Then take them back. You can use them as a decoration in your room."

With Qin Yuxue's slightly dazed expression, Lin Ye placed the bouquet in her hands.

After taking the flowers, it took her a long time to react, her eyes filled with both surprise and shyness.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Also, don't mind what I said just now. I just wanted to annoy that person, and he indeed broke down. Only a man understands another man better."

"Hehe, I don't mind, and what you said makes a lot of sense. My sister told me that when looking for a partner, you must find a young one. Older ones don't have good stamina." Qin Yuxue suddenly chuckled. "I'm just talking nonsense, actually, I don't know either."

"You've helped me so much this time, I must thank you properly."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and checked the time.

"It's almost dinner time. How about this, I'll cook for you later, okay?"

"You can cook?" Lin Ye asked in surprise.

"Of course! I cook for myself every day, but I only know how to make some home-cooked dishes." Qin Yuxue said proudly.

"Home-cooked dishes are fine. I was just wondering what to do for dinner."

"Then it's settled! Let's go buy groceries now."

As she spoke, Qin Yuxue led Lin Ye towards a small vegetable market next to the community.

Unlike when they arrived, this time the two deliberately maintained a distance, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

After buying groceries, the two returned to their residence. Qin Yuxue tied on an apron and cooked in the kitchen outside, while Lin Ye began to plan the Magician's performance he would give at the Black Rose Bar tonight.

Last night's debut had already earned him a good reputation at the Black Rose Bar. Early this morning, Hu Die sent a message saying that the guests last night had a great time.

This second show definitely couldn't fail. Even if it couldn't be as stunning as the first, it had to be eye-catching. Just in time, Magician's Hand had also upgraded, so he decided to create a brand new Magician's feast centered around the upgraded Magician's Hand.

As a flash of inspiration struck, his gaze landed on the bedsheet and the clothes on it.

With a thought, Magician's Hand was instantly released, and the bedsheet, which had been spread flat on the bed, immediately floated up, as if it had come to life.

After the bedsheet floated up, it immediately formed a circle.

A few seconds later, the bedsheet swished down to the ground, followed by a figure appearing out of thin air in the middle of the bedsheet.

This figure was wearing Lin Ye's clothes, a top hat, and white gloves, but eerily, its face was empty.

Not just the face, but the wrists were also empty, as were the bottoms of the pant legs.

It was as if an invisible person had put on his clothes.

In reality, that was exactly the case. The one wearing his clothes at this moment was the Invisible Servant.

Looking at the human-like Invisible Servant, Lin Ye first sized him up, then took out a pure white mask from his system backpack that could cover the entire face.

Then he found a pair of leather shoes and long socks to put on, and finally pulled the sleeves of the clothes out slightly.

After dealing with the details, he couldn't help but nod.

"Not bad, if it's in dim lighting, it should be impossible to tell he's a fake person."

After saying this, Lin Ye took out the roger gold watch and pressed the button on it.

In a flash, his clothes also changed to be identical to those on the Invisible Servant. After putting on the same pure white mask as the Invisible Servant, he led the Invisible Servant to the full-length mirror in the room.

Looking at himself in the full-length mirror and the Invisible Servant standing beside him, Lin Ye could barely tell which one was himself and which was the Invisible Servant.

If he couldn't, then others certainly couldn't.

"But this still seems to be missing something. I must add another element."

As he spoke, his gaze once again scanned the room, finally settling on the full-length mirror in front of him.

The moment he saw himself in the mirror, he immediately thought of a very good idea. While his lips couldn't help but curl slightly upwards, he also muttered to himself,

"Let's use this as the opening. I hope you won't be scared then."

Just as he set the main tone for tonight's Magician's performance, Qin Yuxue's voice came from outside the door.

"Dinner is ready!"

Hearing this sound, Lin Ye quickly snapped his fingers to dismiss the Invisible Servant, and at the same time, pressed the roger gold watch to switch back to his original appearance.

After tidying up the bedsheet again, he opened the room door and walked out.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Qin Yuxue, wearing an apron and loungewear, with her hair tied back, bringing dishes out from the kitchen.

And on the dining table were the flowers Lin Ye had given her earlier. For some reason, Lin Ye suddenly felt an indescribable feeling about this scene.

"Perhaps this is the feeling of home."

Thinking of this, a faint smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Let me help you."

...

The dishes weren't very elaborate, but Lin Ye ate very happily. During the meal, the two also chatted about their daily lives.

Qin Yuxue was very surprised when she learned that Lin Ye's side job was a Magician.

"So you have to go to the bar every night to perform Magician's tricks?"

"Currently, yes. I might come back a bit late at night, I hope I won't disturb your rest."

"No, no, I usually don't finish my live stream until two or three in the morning."

"That's also very hard work."

"It's not hard. It's much better than working like a dog outside. At least I don't have to be strung along by the boss or deal with passive-aggressive colleagues. I'm very content with my current life."

The two finished their meal while chatting.

After dinner, Qin Yuxue was about to wash the dishes, but Lin Ye refused.

"You cooked, how can I let you wash the dishes? Just leave them there, I'll do it."

"Don't worry, I'm a professional at washing dishes."

"Alright then, thank you for your trouble. I also need to prepare things for tonight's live stream."

Once Qin Yuxue entered her room, Lin Ye directly cast a Cleaning Spell into the sink.

In an instant, all the grease and grime on the tableware vanished, and the grease itself flowed into the drain.

Seeing this, Lin Ye cast another Cleaning Spell on the kitchen.

Various dirty things and grime in the kitchen also condensed into a dark mass and fell into the trash can.

In the blink of an eye, the entire kitchen was cleaned, looking as if it had undergone a deep cleaning.

Of course, to prevent Qin Yuxue from noticing anything amiss, he specifically turned on the faucet to create some sound.

After returning the tableware and kitchen utensils to their original places, he also used Cleaning Spell to clean the common areas.

With one Cleaning Spell, the common area immediately became spotless. Garbage went into the trash can by itself, dust gathered into a small pile, and the floor even reflected light.

Once everything was done, he returned to his room, took the items he needed for tonight's performance, and left the rental house with Black and Brian.

To ensure a better presentation effect for tonight's performance, he also needed to buy some other things.

Not long after he left, Qin Yuxue came out of her room.

When she saw the spotless common area and kitchen, her eyes were filled with surprise, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself,

"Oh my god, is he a snail girl transformed?!"

"It seems my wish from yesterday came true. Heaven really granted me a good roommate. By the way, can he really do it seven times?"

"Oh, what am I thinking?"

...

A few hours passed in a flash, and night once again descended upon Kyoto Sea. The "Open" sign was hung at the entrance of the Black Rose Bar.
