When Qin Xin finished writing, she sent the manuscript to the publisher’s editor.
At that mont, Nalan Ye Jue happened to knock on the study room door: "Want sothing to eat?"
Qin Xin was just about to say, "I’ve eaten, no need," but her body was surprisingly honest, leaning a bit towards Nalan Ye Jue: "What is it?"
What kind of dish slls so fragrant?
From afar, it made one’s mouth water.
Nalan Ye Jue’s lips slightly curved upward, while he maneuvered his wheelchair with one hand and held a tray with the other, like a waiter with great skill, arriving at the desk to spread a napkin for her, setting up the bowl and chopsticks.
Seeing Qin Xin’s curious baby expression, the curve of his lips deepened even more: "Just made a simple midnight snack, give it a try."
Indeed simple.
Just a bowl of porridge.
Thick white porridge.
Qin Xin couldn’t believe it. She picked up the small spoon and scooped a little.
Putting it in her mouth, it lted instantly.
Rich and extrely delicious!
Qin Xin said nothing, just one small bite after another, finishing the entire bowl of white porridge.
If Mr. Nalan wasn’t there, she would’ve wanted to lick the bowl clean.
Oh dear, she had never tasted such wonderful white porridge!
No, is this really just white porridge?
"Can you tell how it’s made?" Qin Xin, soone who knows nothing about cooking, was full of interest.
Nalan Ye Jue thought for a mont: "You need to add dried scallops, let them dissolve in the porridge, and the rich flavor will co out."
"It’s just about adding dried scallops..." Qin Xin was incredulous.
Sounds simple? Maybe soone like her, a cooking novice, could make it?
Her passion for cooking, previously shattered by a failed attempt at cooking for Master Tuantuan, began to stir.
Nalan Ye Jue smiled: "There is also the Nalan family’s exclusive secret recipe."
Qin Xin grew more curious: "What is it?"
Nalan Ye Jue held back a laugh: "If the little wife wants to know, she might need to give her husband a bit of encouragent."
He pointed to the corner of his lips.
Qin Xin froze, then her cheeks turned crimson.
Ah, is this man openly asking for... that kiss?
Qin Xin ran out of the study with her burning cheeks covered: "No, no, I don’t want to know!"
The man behind felt sowhat forlorn.
It seems the allure of white porridge isn’t enough to get a spontaneous kiss; he considers designing a new dish that she can’t refuse.
＝＝
In the sa late night.
So won are savoring the exclusive dish made by a man.
So won are crying their eyes out over the piano.
It’s over.
All over.
Failed to sche against Qin Xin, didn’t seduce her brother-in-law, and lost her integrity; now the whole world knows about her and Lan Yingjun, sobbing.
Her professional image as a piano talent ca to a halt before it even took off, sobbing.
While crying, footsteps and a reproach sounded behind her: "Stop wasting ti crying and practice the piano! Crying is useless!"
Qin Wenrou shuddered. Turning around, she saw Duanmu Heiying walking leisurely over: "Teacher, I..."
Duanmu Heiying surveyed her tearily dampened clothes, showing a satisfied smile: "I’ve booked the Imperial Music Hall. Tomorrow night we’ll hold a special performance concert!"
Qin Wenrou was taken aback: "Teacher... my reputation is ruined now."
Duanmu Heiying shook his head aningfully: "Silly, now is when you should seize the opportunity. Capitalize on your current online buzz and turn infamy into true fa!"
Qin Wenrou was still a bit puzzled: "Teacher, everyone online is mocking , ridiculing ..."
Duanmu Heiying’s smile deepened: "That ans you have greater value. Co, I’ll teach you a new playing technique tonight. You need to master it overnight in order to make an impression at tomorrow’s concert."
What?
Does Master have a secret technique?
A technique more impressive than playing the piano with chopsticks and chin?
Suddenly feeling resurrected!
＝＝
Early the next morning.
Qin Xin instructed Xiao Shuang to wait at school after class. She and Nalan Ye Jue would pick him up to go to the Imperial Music Hall to attend the evening’s scheduled guitar concert.
Xiao Shuang was full of spirit.
This evening, was the special concert carefully prepared by his brother-in-law and sister for him, he must perform to the best of his ability!
[Master Yun: Goodnight kiss!]
