Shen Qiqi was looking through these old memories. When she saw this, she suddenly thought of something and looked up at Xie Beiming: "That little boy covered in blood in the village, was it you?!"
Xie Beiming held her hand and nodded with a smile: "It's me."
"..." Shen Qiqi's throat was blocked, unable to speak, and could only swallow unconsciously.
Xie Beiming is the young boy in the village.
She once saved the young boy's life.
She also told the boy that she wanted lanterns, lots and lots of lanterns.
That's why Mrs. Xie came to ask for her hand in marriage for her son and brought her a very ugly lantern.
That's why Xie Beiming likes making lanterns so much. He makes one lantern after another, and the entire cave is filled with lanterns he made.
…
Shen Qiqi recalled that in her previous life, she went to rob Xie Beiming's lair and saw the spectacular scene of the other party's entire cave filled with various lanterns. Her brain, which was already on the verge of critical point, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Shen Qiqi was completely dizzy until Xie Beiming led her into the dining room and Yin Qiao called "girl" in her ear. Only then did she blink her eyes and reluctantly regain her consciousness.
But she was still a little confused, so when Yinqiao asked her if they could serve the dishes now, she said "hmm" in a daze.
Then Yinqiao responded, "Okay."
The voice was cheerful and clear, and Shen Qiqi suddenly woke up. She quickly called Yin Qiao: "Yin Qiao, there's no need to serve the food. We don't want to eat anymore. We're not hungry!"
Because she was anxious, her voice was a little sharp and sounded like she was angry. Yinqiao, who had been full of joy, paused and became at a loss when she heard the words.
Because she had no pupils, only a pair of terrifying white pupils, her eyes were covered with black cloth, and the emotions in her eyes could not be seen.
But Shen Qiqi could feel the deep disappointment in the other person's eyes.
Maybe there is also the sadness of being at a loss.
Yinqiao has been practicing her cooking skills hard for today, but now she is suddenly told that she is no longer needed... She is definitely disappointed and sad.
But there is nothing you can do about feeling lost. People’s hearts are selfish, and there are different levels of selfishness.
Shen Qiqi sighed in her heart. Before today, she was indeed looking forward to this day, and she also wanted to see the scene of Master Xie being humiliated.
But now... now she doesn't want to see Xie Beiming suffer a loss at all.
Because I can't bear it.
So she had no choice but to sacrifice Yinqiao.
Shen Qiqi sighed silently in her heart again, and was about to go over to pull Yin Qiao down to comfort her, telling her why she made her practice cooking so hard, and why she suddenly deprived her of the opportunity to show her achievements today.
But before Shen Qiqi could make a move, at this moment, Xie Beiming suddenly said: "Since you are here, you might as well eat something."
He looked at Shen Qiqi with gentle eyes: "Didn't you say you would treat me to lunch?"
Shen Qiqi: ...Is it not okay if I change my mind now?
Obviously not.
Then Xie Beiming said to Yinqiao, "Qiqi said your cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds. I'm so greedy just hearing that."
Yin Qiao's white pupils covered by the black cloth suddenly lit up, the corners of her mouth curled up high, and she was about to respond "Okay" subconsciously, but suddenly she realized that Shen Qiqi was her master, so she looked at Shen Qiqi timidly again.
Shen Qiqi: ...Excuse me, does she still have a say now?
Obviously not.
On one side was Yin Qiao's cautious expectation, and on the other side was Xie Beiming's tender gaze. Shen Qiqi was caught in a double-edged attack, defeated, slumped her shoulders, and said weakly: "Then, then let's eat."
The corners of Yinqiao's mouth suddenly raised high, without daring to respond, she quickly turned around and ran down to prepare.
I was afraid that if I ran too slowly, Shen Qiqi would change her mind again.
The corners of Xie Beiming's mouth also curled up slightly.
If his guess was correct, the worry that had made him nervous for several days should be brought out soon.
I just don’t know what tricks Qiqi has prepared for him.
Glancing at Shen Qiqi, who was lying on the table like a puppy with her head drooping, Xie Beiming suddenly felt a little expectant.
Then his expectation was soon met.
Yinqiao came in carrying a large tray with several dishes on it that looked delicious.
The first dish served was braised large intestine.
Yinqiao introduced, "Mr. Xie, this dish is called Soft Intestines. The girl said you like it very much, so she specially ordered it to be made for you."
Xie Beiming, who had just picked up the chopsticks: ... He paused and looked at Shen Qiqi with a strange expression.
Shen Qiqi took a breath, put her hand on her forehead to cover her eyes, and pretended not to see it.
Yinqiao brought out another dish and enthusiastically introduced it to Xie Beiming, "Mr. Xie, this dish is called Twin Hibiscus. The young lady said that this is also your favorite dish."
Xie Beiming put down his chopsticks, supported his chin with his hand, narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Qiqi again.
Shen Qiqi shrank her neck and rubbed her forehead constantly, almost rubbing the skin off her forehead.
Yinqiao, who never forgot to speak well of her daughter, was still unaware of this and served dishes such as "Long-Long-Winged Couple" and "A Hundred Years of Happiness"...all of which were the names of the dishes that Aunt Tian had told Shen Qiqi.
Xie Beiming, the founder of Caiming, probably didn't expect that this day would come. He was initially surprised and stunned, then became thoughtful in the middle, and now he was staring at Shen Qiqi with a half-smile on his face.
For the first time, Shen Qiqi experienced what it meant to be sitting on pins and needles. She changed the action of supporting her forehead to covering her face. Later, she felt that this still could not withstand Xie Beiming's gaze. Just as she was about to find an excuse to slip away to hide, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
