Chapter 614: Thank you for your care, learn to accept it (23 updates)
"Um."
Shen Qiannan was dumbfounded, suspecting that he was still in a dream.
"……real?"
Xie Dingyuan simply did not respond to this idiotic question.
The other end smacked his lips and said, "Okay, it seems to be true... Did the girl agree to it?"
Xie Dingyuan responded vaguely.
Although Jiang Fuyue did not agree, she did not refuse either.
"So why are you calling me? To show off your affection? Old Xie, I have to say a few words to you. As the saying goes, showing off your affection leads to a quick death. I advise you to be kind."
"no."
"?"
"I want to ask you...how do you take care of yourself?"
"Huh?" Shen Qiannan was a little slow to react.
"I remember you used to go to... a health club a lot? The slogan was 'Replenishing the kidneys and giving men a youthful and energetic life'?"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem—who told you that?! I didn't go!"
Xie Dingyuan: "I saw it."
Shen Qiannan: "...Fuck! It's not what you think, I really didn't..."
etc!
"Why are you asking that?"
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
"Also, you just asked how to maintain it? Could it be what I think it is?"
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
"Alright, Old Xie, you've made it! Why didn't you just say you wanted to go? You went through all this trouble and scared me!"
"...So, how did it happen?"
"This... is hard to explain over the phone. Once we get back to the capital, I'll take you there to experience it and you'll know."
Xie Dingyuan frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with this method that could not be implemented immediately.
"Let's talk about it later." After saying that, he hung up.
Shen Qiannan on the other end cursed.
When you need me, you call me baby, but when you don’t, you just say bah. You’re such a dog!
On this side, after Xie Dingyuan ended the call, he drove back to Yutian Huafu.
As soon as he entered the door, he called out to Aunt Liu.
"gentlemen?"
"Call the nutritionist and have them come over."
"Are you all coming over?"
"Um."
Aunt Liu looked puzzled, but still did as she was told.
Soon, six nutritionists arrived one after another, all ready to go, standing in a row in the living room.
Aunt Liu went upstairs and called Xie Dingyuan, "Sir, everyone is here."
"good."
Xie Dingyuan went downstairs to meet the six people in person. Liu Ma went back to the kitchen to do some work. During this time, she vaguely heard words like "youth" and "maintenance".
she:"?"
Twenty minutes later, the nutritionist left.
Liu Ma received a newly planned menu, which was completely different from the previous one.
Not only is the taste heavier, but meat intake has also increased significantly.
There are also several ingredients that have never appeared before, such as leeks, sea cucumbers, etc.
Liu Ma couldn't say what other things were good for, but this leek...
In their countryside, it is a great product for strengthening yang and nourishing the kidneys.
So, sir, what is this?
No, no, no, she quickly shook her head. How could she think in that direction?
The gentleman is like a god, aloof and inviolable.
There can't even be any guesswork.
"Then... shall we follow the new menu tonight?"
"Yeah." Xie Dingyuan nodded.
"Oh, then I have to go buy some food quickly, I don't have many ingredients."
…
After the last class in the morning, everyone filed out and rushed to the cafeteria.
Jiang Fuyue was still with Huo Fanjin, Lin Shumo and others, plus Liu Bowen, Wan Xiutong, and Lin Qiao. They went downstairs and met up with Jiang Han, Ge Meng, and Liu Sisi.
The group was huge and quite spectacular.
Edmund had become close to Hamasaki Naohara at some point; they attended classes together and ate at the same table.
"Huh? Why aren't you eating dumplings?" Edmund pointed at his plate.
Hamasaki Naohara frowned and said, "...It has a strange smell."
"Is there?" Edmund wondered, "Why didn't I taste it?"
Naohara Hamasaki glanced at his half-empty plate and asked, "Don't you think this filling has a strange, punchy texture?"
Edmund performed a swallowing demonstration on the spot, and after swallowing, he said, "Look, there's nothing at all."
"What's your filling?"
"Cabbage and meat."
Hamasaki Naohara shook his head: "That's not mine."
"Is this true? Let me try it..." As she said that, she forked one directly from his plate, and it was too late for the latter to stop her.
Five seconds later, Edmund vomited everything out with a loud bang: "Cough cough cough... What a terrible smell! Soup! Give me soup!"
Naohara Hamasaki pushed in front of him.
Edmund gulped down the drink.
It took a while to recover. "This taste is so weird, it feels a bit like fish, and it tastes fishy when I put it in my mouth."
"Um."
"Do you know what it is?"
Hamasaki Naohara: “…I don’t know.”
"Then what are you humming? You're obviously younger than me, but you insist on pretending to be mature and steady. Aren't you tired?"
Hamasaki Naohara: “…Not bad.”
“Tsk.”
Suddenly, his eyes turned and glanced at the table next to him: "Jiang Fuyue must know, why don't we go ask her?"
When he heard the three words "Jiang Fuyue", Hamasaki Naohara's pupils tightened instantly.
Obviously they haven't recovered from the three defeats yesterday.
"...I'm not going," he said, his lips curled into a slightly sharp arc, "If you want to go, go by yourself."
"Think about it carefully. You don't have many chances to chat with her. If you miss this one, it will be hard to get another one."
“…”
"You don't really consider her an enemy, do you? Just because you lost yesterday?" Edmund said, his expression making a fuss. "Thinking back to when we were at IPhO—yep, your brother was there too. Jiang Fuyue was so fast and so accurate, she dominated everyone in seconds. What did I say?"
"After all, I'm a recognized genius in Country F, okay? I've been carrying the aura of high intelligence since I was a child, thinking that the whole world is stupid. I was so proud that I never thought that one day I would lose."
Hamasaki Naohara's eyes moved.
Edmund grinned, his lake blue eyes reflecting the person opposite him, clear and transparent.
"Isn't it uncomfortable?"
Hamasaki Naohara: “…”
"It's hard to bear, but you have to accept it, because this is reality. There's no shortage of geniuses in this world, and every genius thinks they're the center and the world revolves around them. But in reality, there are countless people who are smarter and wiser than us. It might be a one-sided victory, or it might be an all-around crushing victory."
"I used to think that no one was better than me. Of course, the people around me weren't as good as me either. But after meeting Jiang Fuyue, I slowly learned to accept that I'm not the smartest person and that the world doesn't revolve around me."
"Are you willing to do that?" asked Naohara Hamasaki.
"I'm unwilling to accept this, so I have to admit my shortcomings and make up for them. Who knows if one day in the future we can make Jiang Fuyue lose once again?" Edmund put down his chopsticks, leaned back in his chair, and folded his arms. "Life is still long, there is still a lot of time, and anything is possible."
Hamasaki Naohara seemed to be lost in thought.
Suddenly, Edmund stood up and said, "If you don't go, I will."
After saying that, he walked over to the next table and said in a tone that sounded very provocative: "Hey, Jiang Fuyue, I have something to ask you. I bet you don't know the answer."
A group of people raised their eyes and looked at him.
Hmm...like looking at a proud idiot.
Edmund, however, wasn't embarrassed or ashamed. Instead, he particularly enjoyed being the center of attention. He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem... Today's dumplings have a very strange filling. It's pungent and fishy. Do you know what it is?"
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows and looked him up and down: "I know, but why should I tell you?"
"Oh, baby, you are still that dangerous rose, even your words have thorns."
Everyone: “…” Are all the people in Country F so corny?
Oh no, they call themselves——Romantic~
Finally, Huo Fanjin couldn't bear it any longer and told him directly: "That's called Houttuynia cordata, Herba Houttuyniae. Do you understand?"
Edmund nodded, "I understand." But his gentle blue eyes were still staring at Jiang Fuyue, without moving away.
As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Huo Fanjin simply couldn't stand it and got goosebumps all over his body.
Fan Ye looked disdainful.
Gao Zhaoming and Huang Hui looked at each other.
Zhong Ziang and Yi Ci's faces had turned dark.
"Are you done yet? Who are you?"
"What? What are you talking about?" Edmund pretended not to understand.
Unfortunately, Zhong Ziang and Yi Ci couldn't speak French, and their English was also very poor. The two of them chattered away, and Edmund only had to say one sentence -
"Sorry, I don't understand (French)."
It can make the two of them explode with anger.
Zhong Ziang: He insulted me!
Yici: Damn! Why didn’t I study English well before?
Edmund returned to his seat after having enough of his "romance" and finished the remaining dumplings.
Seeing that Naohara Hamasaki felt sorry for him, he gave him two.
…
After lunch, Jiang Fuyue and his group returned to the classroom.
Turning the corner, I ran into Hamasaki Naohara.
Huo Fanjin and the others had subtle expressions, exchanged glances quickly, but didn't say much.
Just as the two passed by, Hamasaki Naohara suddenly spoke -
"Can we talk?"
He spoke Chinese with clear pronunciation and a calm tone.
Three thousand words, yesterday’s second or third update.
Today's update will be around 11 o'clock, roughly, not very exact.
