《A Guy, A Latte and Status Screen.》Chapter 13

"..." Wa Lui Qi couldn't open his mouth when he saw the mysterious girl started wearing a navy blue blazer with an emblem on the left chest pocket. Under her blazer was a solid white buttoned shirt, the same shirt that she used when she slept next to him. On her waist was a light steel blue skirt, then black stockings, and maroon shoes... Basically, she wore a school uniform.
'Did I sleep with a minor?!' Lui Qi grimaced at the possibilities. 'No... she slept with the same white shirt and skirt, so there's a chance we didn't do anything.'
"Sore wa subarashī yorudeshita~" She said, stretching her body and did some exercising with a big smile on her face.
Lui Qi only staring at her. He gasped as he remembered something. Opening the translation app from his phone, he urged the girl to repeat her word. "It was a wonderful night." Said Siri.
"...." Lui Qi got petrified.
"Watashi no zenshin wa mada itai." She continued speaking while massaging her own shoulder and gave a wry satisfied smile.
"My whole body still hurts." Said Siri.
"..." Somehow, Siri's robot like voice was bothering him, so Lui Qi temporarily turned it off. "Can... you... speak... English...?" He knew talking slowly and loudly wouldn't make someone understand that, but he still did it.
The girl nodded at his remark. "You raiku beasuto." She said, clenching her hand in a high spirit.
"..." There was a little bit of broken English but somehow Lui Qi still understood her. 'I am like a beast...' Translated Lui Qi in his mind.
'Yep... we definitely did it.' Lui Qi could only sigh inwardly. "We use protection... right?"
"Purotekushon?" She repeated, tilting her head to the left. "Umm..." She thought for a while and then shook her head.
"..." Lui Qi cradled his painful and dizzy head. His next question might not have tact but he still asked her. "...Inside or outside?"

"Inside." She immediately answered, looking at Lui Qi with a somewhat confused look.
"..." Her speech wasn't broken but that wasn't the problem. Lui Qi just stared at her, open-mouthed, cursing his ownself. His brain formulated no thoughts other than to register that he was shocked. He then closed his mouth, then looked at the floor, muttering something before glancing back up to catch her eye. "Ah, yesterday is a safe day, right?!" was all he could say, his eyes started spinning around.
"Sēfu?" She wildly shook her head. "Dangerousu day."
"..." Lui Qi didn't know if this was because of his Wisdom or what, but the girl in front of him didn't seem to be lying. "Ah, I need to go to work." He said, leaving an unknown girl in his room as he was running awa- he was going to deliver some sandwiches.
He didn't even afraid to leave her alone as he was sure nothing worth stealing from in his room.
On his journey to deliver the sandwich, he just felt like his brain stuttered. Every part of him went to pause while his thought went to catch what was going on. Before he knew it, he already clutched $152 dollar in total. "...Maybe I should visit a temple and pray for... no, no, no... what the hell am I thinking. There's no way I can pray for something like that."
"Haaah... I should at the very least ask her name." Said Lui Qi, he was walking with a hunched shoulder.
With a determination of some sort, Lui Qi went back to his apartment. He was passing through the same street and neighbourhood, seeing the same people but his steps felt like ten times heavier.
By the time he got home, he felt like his stamina already dropped to 0. His feet stepping on the stairs... From Mini-Map, he could tell the girl was still in his room. With another sigh, he scurried down the path towards his room, his shoes slapping against the wood floor that led to his front door.

The metal of the doorknob was cool against his palm and he twisted it with ease, entering the well-lit room. And she was still there... not to mention she used the kitchen without his permission.
She used Lui Qi's green apron as her temporary apron, and even though Lui Qi's figure wasn't tall or big, the apron was already reaching to her ankle. He didn't pay much attention to her, but just only now he noticed the girl was modelling her hair in pigtails.
On the kitchen table, there were eggs, tomato sauce, an onion, a diced chicken, a variety of vegetables. The rice cooker was on. From the ingredient alone, Lui Qi could guess she wanted to make omelette rice.
Tak!
Lui Qi was mortified, frozen to the spot. He couldn't believe it just happened. She just stabbed the onion like a killer in an old horror movie flick and started moving the knife up and down to chop them.
And the onion flew away.
Lui Qi watched in awe at her expression. He saw nothing but a surprise on her face. '...Did she really think she can cut an onion like that?'
Still watching from the door, this time he watched her knocked the egg with a full swing.
And the egg's innard splattered on the table, slowly spilling from the edge to the floor. '...I have a bad feeling about this.'
Lui Qi was right.
His rice cooker might be old, but he never thought it would start vomiting out the black smoke. The girl, in panic, opened the lid and grabbed the inner pan with her bare hand.
And she immediately dropped the inner pan and sucking her thumb in reflex. What was she thinking, why she did that and what was her plan after grabbing the inner pan, Wa Lui Qi hadn't had a single clue.
He wanted to help but... he felt like he was watching a silent comedy movie right now. What kind of other things would she do? Such question echoed in his head... before he realized she might just burn this whole place down if she kept doing whatever she just did.
"Ahem." Lui Qi cleared his throat, trying to get the girl attention.
She turned her head to the door and what she did was went as red as a beetroot and radiated heat like a hot pan. One could have cooked a three-course meal on her face. She wanted the earth to open up and swallowed her whole. She wished to 'do a Daphne' and dropped through a scooby-doo style trap door in the floor.
"Are you hungry?" Asked Lui Qi with a little bit of gesture, he tried to hide the amused grin from his face.
"Ha-" She opened her mouth but got stopped by the thunderous rumbling growl that came from her stomach.
Lui Qi's mind just went blank when he heard that growl and he couldn't help but snorted away.
"Just sit over there." Said Lui Qi, jokingly pointed to the corner of his room.
Much to his surprise, the girl listened to what he said.
...Lui Qi didn't know her name, and how she got here, or what happened last night. But after seeing her sitting down while hugging her knees at the corner of his room, Wa Lui Qi instantly knew he would get along with this girl.
