Chapter 348 Tempting Dishes

"Woof?!"

A sudden bark from a dog instantly turned the previously quiet room into a noisy space.

Guai Guai stood beside Lin Xiyue, her big, round eyes wide open, staring at Lin Xiyue with a look of terror on her face.

Just moments ago, Lin Xiyue had solemnly told Guaiguai not to eat random things, but in the blink of an eye, she seemed to have completely forgotten those words and was actually preparing to eat those somewhat strange-looking foods.

This sudden scene terrified Guagua. It hadn't expected Lin Xiyue to do such a thing, so it instinctively cried out.

"!!!"

The dog's bark was like a thunderclap, exploding in Lin Xiyue's ears.

Her previously dazed eyes suddenly regained focus after hearing the scream.

"call----"

Lin Xiyue let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare.

Her heart was pounding, and a thin layer of sweat even appeared on her forehead.

"What am I doing?! (wДw)"

When Lin Xiyue fully regained consciousness and realized what she was about to do, she couldn't help but scream in surprise.

Good heavens, how did I end up sitting on this stool, about to eat this table of steaming hot food?

These dishes look really weird!

Just a second ago, he was filled with vigilance and fear towards the food on the table, but now, he seemed to have completely lost his mind and actually wanted to eat it.

This was truly terrifying; a strong sense of unease welled up in Lin Xiyue's heart.

She didn't know why she had suddenly acted this way. Was there some strange force in the food on the table influencing her?

[You're getting ready to eat! I was just telling you these dishes looked delicious, but they're a bit strange, and then you plopped down and started eating. I called you several times but you didn't respond, but then the dog barked and you woke up.]

The system said helplessly to Lin Xiyue, its tone full of grievance.

Upon hearing the system's words, Lin Xiyue suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

She stared wide-eyed at the delicious-looking food before her, as if she had witnessed something terrifying.

"Oh? That's terrifying."

Lin Xiyue screamed in terror. Her heart pounded, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

This feeling was just like the scenes she used to watch in horror movies, which gave her the creeps.

The terrifying images flashed through Lin Xiyue's mind, and her breathing became rapid.

She instinctively stood up, staggered back two steps, trying to get away from the table that terrified her.

At the same time, she quickly looked away, not daring to look at the dishes and the system on the table anymore.

Not only that, Lin Xiyue also reached out and pulled Guai Guai away, preventing her from looking in that direction. She was worried that Guai Guai would also be frightened, or see something she shouldn't see.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you're awake now and you haven't eaten any of these things."

The system seemed to sense Lin Xiyue's fear and quickly comforted her.

It spoke repeatedly to comfort Lin Xiyue, trying to calm her down.

"What's wrong?! What happened?"

Hearing Lin Xiyue's exclamation, Ling Ye's heart tightened. He immediately put down the wall he was observing and rushed over as fast as he could.

Just now, Ling Ye saw Lin Xiyue go to stop Guai Guai, so he continued to observe the things on the wall with peace of mind.

He carefully examined the patterns and textures on the wall as he slowly walked towards Guai Guai.

Ling Ye thought to herself that since Lin Xiyue had already gone there, and she wasn't too far away, and the area was relatively open, she would definitely be able to get there quickly if there was any emergency.

So he decided to first observe the surroundings before slowly walking over.

However, just as he began to examine the patterns on the surrounding walls, he suddenly heard Lin Xiyue scream.

The scream made Ling Ye's heart race instantly. Without hesitation, he quickened his pace and ran wildly towards Lin Xiyue.

When Ling Ye arrived, she saw Lin Xiyue standing next to the table, her body blocking the table as if she were blocking something.

"What happened? Are you alright?"

Seeing this, Lingye hurriedly asked.

"Be careful, I think I was just bewitched."

Lin Xiyue's face was a little pale. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then spoke to Ling Ye.

"Okay, I won't look for now. Tell me what just happened?"

Ling Ye looked at Lin Xiyue with a serious expression, her brows furrowed tightly.

"There was a table full of steaming hot food, which looked and smelled delicious. At first, I felt that the scene was a bit strange, and I had a feeling that something was wrong."

"But after taking a closer look at the dishes, an irresistible appetite suddenly surged into my heart. The dishes seemed to exude an enticing aroma, making my mouth water, and all I could think about was tasting these delicious foods as soon as possible."

Lin Xiyue took a deep breath, composed herself, and then began to recount her recent experience.

"Then, just as I was overwhelmed by this strong appetite, I suddenly lost consciousness. When I came to my senses again, I found myself sitting down without realizing it, with a table full of food in front of me, and I was about to feast."

She paused for a moment, then continued.

"Luckily, Guai Guai barked just now, which woke me up from that dazed state. Otherwise, I probably would have been wolfing down my food and completely lost my mind."

At this point, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but shudder, and pointed at Guai Guai with lingering fear, before continuing.

"Huh? Me?"

When Guai Guai heard Lin Xiyue call her name, she suddenly raised her head, blinked her big eyes at Lin Xiyue, and looked at her with a face full of doubt.

She subconsciously tilted her head, seemingly unsure whether Lin Xiyue was really calling her.

"Yes, that's a compliment. You're really great!"

Looking at Guai Guai's adorable appearance, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but laugh, which also eased her mood. She gently patted Guai Guai's head and continued to praise it.

"Hehehe (′?w?｀)?"

Guai Guai laughed happily, revealing two deep dimples on her face. She scratched her head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Okay, stop touching things, be good, and I'll give you candy."

Lingye took a piece of candy out of her backpack and handed it to Guaiguai.

"Okay!"

Upon seeing this, Guai Guai's eyes lit up immediately. She quickly took the candy and said happily.

Upon receiving the candy, Guai Guai immediately quieted down. She squatted on the ground, with the candy in her mouth, and ate it with relish, while also entertaining herself by playing, completely immersed in her own little world.

Seeing that Guai Guai had calmed down, Ling Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
