Her lips, bright red from the chili pepper, had an unusual presence on her entire face—or perhaps, on her entire being.
Spiciness is not a taste, but a pain - at this moment her lips were slightly swollen, and the natural red color was more shocking than applying dark-colored lipstick.
It really is like a Cheshire Cat - Chu Shangli couldn't help but have such thoughts.
The Cheshire Cat appeared and disappeared, and in the end, only a transparent sneer remained.
Chu Shangli was also quite bothered by what the Cheshire Cat had just said about Bai Xiaoqian's father and brother.
In fact, when Chu Shangli first heard that Bai Xiaoqian's father's name was "Jin", he felt that it sounded unusually familiar - but it was really difficult to connect a man who claimed to be Peter Pan in strange clothes with the disappeared star -
No matter what, there is no way to get rid of these delusional thoughts from my brain.
"Ah, ah, since your name is 'Jin', if you had a brother, would his name be 'Kuang'?"
Chu Shangli said this in a joking tone, but his actual purpose was not to joke, but to test.
Bai Xiaoqian's father's expression didn't change at all - but it was precisely because of this excessive indifference that Chu Shangli saw something was wrong.
No way?
Is it really that missing big shot?
"What kind of taste does classmate Luo Dongxia have... How could someone's name be called 'Kuang'? What's the meaning of this name? Is it a case of Chunibyo?" Tan Xing complained.
"Yes. Normally, I wouldn't choose a name like that—after all, the meaning is a bit unclear."
Bai Xiaoqian's father stopped talking at this point and picked up a pudding from the table.
Use the knife in your pocket to cut the pudding into an irregular shape along the center.
The amount of agar determines the state of the candy - when the amount is relatively large, it will have a relatively crisp taste, while when the amount is relatively small, it will be between a jelly and a hard candy.
The Cheshire Cat hated pre-packaged pastries, so the so-called pudding she made only had the appearance of pudding. After being cut by Bai Xiaoqian's father and poured into the plate, it made a "clattering" sound and became like candy from the very beginning.
Just two casual cuts, but they cut the pudding into a very beautiful shape.
That is exactly what... the existence that Chu Shangli denied in his mind was extremely good at.
Just as Chu Shangli was about to continue testing the waters, he opened his mouth slightly when a system notification sounded in his ears: "Congratulations on unlocking the keywords [Zishu Kuang] and [Zishu Jing]."
Chu Shangli saw the three words "Zi Shujin" turned into a dialog box and appeared just below Bai Xiaoqian's father.
Is it really... Zi Shujin?
Wouldn't that mean——
If the person in front of him is Zi Shujin, then being able to access the core of the empire becomes a matter of course.
Zi Shujin is the younger brother of Zi Shukuang, who is now married into Ouyang Huanshi's family. In fact, Zi Shukuang didn't like this name very much, so he changed it to "Zi Shuhui" after marrying into the family.
Before, it was always Zi Shujin who stood in front of the stage. In terms of popularity and ability evaluation in all aspects, Zi Shujin was stronger - while Zi Shukuang was a person who lived in the shadows and would not be discovered.
It was because he had lived in the shadow for so many years that he chose the name "Hui" when he left the Zishu family - and his real name "Kuang" was covered up.
