Chapter 37

So handsome!

This was Kanroji Mitsuri's only thought at the moment.

Sitting in front of the dining table, Kanroji Mitsuri stole glances at Lin Que beside her while mechanically eating the food in her bowl.

She had been on matchmaking dates for a while, and had seen all kinds of people in between, including quite a few children of wealthy families.

But this was the first time she had seen someone as handsome as Lin Que.

And more importantly, the look in the other's eyes when looking at her was normal.

That's right, just normal.

Silently looking at the three stacks of rice bowls beside her, Kanroji Mitsuri looked at Lin Que again.

Since she started matchmaking, Lin Que was the first person she had seen who didn't have any change in expression after seeing her eat so much.

It was as if this seemed to be a very normal thing.

"Kanroji, is there something on my face?"

Just as Kanroji Mitsuri was secretly sizing him up, Lin Que's gaze suddenly met hers.

"Why have you been looking at me?"

"Eh? Um... I was just a bit curious."

Kanroji Mitsuri thought about it, and not liking to lie, she decided to be open and honest and just state it clearly.

"Lin Que, don't you mind that I eat so much?"

"Is it a lot?"

Lin Que tilted his head: "It's alright."

"Eh? Just 'alright'?"

"Yeah."

If he had to say, the amount Lin Que ate when he let go was much more than the other.

The little bit of food Kanroji Mitsuri was eating now wasn't even enough to get between his teeth.

"That's great, fortunately you don't mind."

Kanroji Mitsuri breathed a sigh of relief and brought up another matter.

"In fact, besides having a big appetite, I also have great strength."

"Oh, I heard that from your mother too."

Lin Que raised his right arm, placed it on the table, and signaled to Kanroji Mitsuri.

"It just so happens that I'm very interested in how strong your strength actually is. Do you want to try?"

"This... is that okay?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. How about we make a bet?"

Seemingly suddenly thinking of a fun way, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Que's mouth.

"If you can win against me, I will take you as my wife."

"Of course, if you lose, you'll just have to be my pet."

"Really?!"

Kanroji Mitsuri's eyes lit up.

In Kanroji Mitsuri's view, this was simply a deal that couldn't lose.

Due to her constitution, her muscle density was eight times that of an ordinary person.

She looked soft and weak, but in reality, her strength was immense, and she could even lift boulders weighing tons.

If Lin Que competed with her in strength, he definitely wouldn't be able to beat her.

As long as she won against the other, it would be equivalent to a successful matchmaking date.

The other didn't mind her appetite and superhuman strength, and looked so handsome—it was simply a huge profit!

"That's what you said, no going back on your word!"

"Of course."

Lin Que replied solemnly: "I, Lin Que, have always acted upright and honestly, and never lie to people."

"Okay!"

Kanroji Mitsuri couldn't wait to raise her arm, hold hands with Lin Que, and get into an arm-wrestling position.

"You count three, two, one; at one, we both exert force!"

Lin Que chuckled: "No need to be so troublesome, I'm already prepared, you can exert force."

"Then I'm starting to move!"

Hearing Lin Que's words, Kanroji Mitsuri didn't hesitate and decisively started to exert force.

Of course, she didn't use her full strength.

After all, in Kanroji Mitsuri's view, Lin Que was just an ordinary person.

If she really used her full strength, it wouldn't be arm wrestling; she might even rip Lin Que's arm off directly, which would be too horrifying.

However...

After exerting force for one second, Kanroji Mitsuri's expression suddenly became a bit surprised.

"Strange, I can't budge it?"

"Why is your strength so small, Kanroji."

Lin Que teased from the North North North Side: "Could it be that you haven't eaten enough? Should we order some more food and compete later?"

"No need!"

Realizing that Lin Que wasn't an ordinary person, Kanroji Mitsuri gradually let go of her reservations and began to gradually increase her strength.

In less than a few seconds, she erupted with all her strength and pushed her own power to the limit.

Under her arm, the sturdy wooden table even developed visible cracks.

But what surprised Kanroji Mitsuri was that Lin Que still looked leisurely, his arm standing there without moving a single bit.

"Eh! How is this possible?!"

For the first time since she was born, her superhuman strength had failed; even Kanroji Mitsuri couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"It seems this is your full strength."

Lin Que slowed down, and his arm moved slowly to the left and down.

In Kanroji Mitsuri's bewildered gaze, she was taken for the first time by Lin Que with absolute superiority.

"The outcome is decided."

Tidying up his slightly messy sleeves, Lin Que reached out toward Kanroji Mitsuri.

"Then, it's time for you to abide by the bet."

Abide by the bet?

Staring blankly at Lin Que, Kanroji Mitsuri, whose brain had been blank for a few seconds, finally snapped back to reality.

Because she was too confident at the beginning, Kanroji Mitsuri had never thought about the possibility of defeat.

Now that she had lost the arm-wrestling match, she naturally couldn't be thick-skinned enough to go back on her word; she could only be Lin Que's... pet?

"Eh! Why is it a pet?!"

Kanroji Mitsuri finally noticed something was wrong.

"The status difference is way too big!"

Lin Que spread his hands: "The winner takes all, the loser eats dust."

"Such a simple principle, even you should understand it, Kanroji."

"But......"

Kanroji Mitsuri's expression became conflicted: "No matter how I think about it, this is still too strange."

"So?"

Lin Que raised an eyebrow: "Are you going back on your word?"

"No, going back on my word is bad, but......"

Kanroji Mitsuri was still very conflicted: "If I had known, I wouldn't have made a bet with you, Lin Que. Now I don't know what to do." ===== CHAPTER 74 =====
