Chapter 114 True Love's Kiss
Yu Li originally thought that with the store so busy, Qi Chenyan and his grandmother would not get home until very late.
But after chatting with her best friend on the sofa for a while, she turned on a TV out of boredom. As she was watching and getting drowsy, she suddenly heard the click of the door opening.
Yu Li immediately sat up, but although she was awake, her mind wasn't fully clear. Rubbing her eyes, she asked in a lazy tone, "You're back?"
But only Qi Chenyan entered.
He responded and walked over to Yu Li, first touching her face.
"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Yu Li shook her head and glanced back. "Hasn't Grandma come back yet?"
"I'm afraid we won't be able to close until very late today. I've already asked some villagers to help out, but I'm really worried about leaving you home alone, so I came back to make you dinner first."
Yu Li smiled and said, "Then I want to eat tomato and egg noodles. Do you know how to make them? If not, I can teach you by talking to you."
Qi Chenyan chuckled, "I've never done this before, but I can search for tutorials on my phone. Just lie still and don't move around. I'll be able to finish it quickly."
As he spoke, Qi Chenyan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his fair and slender elbows, and walked towards the kitchen.
Qi Chenyan said he had never done it before, and he really hadn't, so he started practicing while looking at the tutorial on his phone.
But he has excellent hands-on skills and a superb learning ability.
When two steaming bowls of tomato and egg noodles were placed in front of her, Yu Li inhaled the aroma.
"It's obvious at a glance that this is a bowl of tomato and egg noodles that looks, smells, and tastes delicious. Director Qi, is this really your first time making this kind of noodle? You're so versatile, don't you leave any room for normal people to live?"
Qi Chenyan, worried it might be too hot, handed her a small bowl and replied, "Because I always believe that in this world, apart from gender, as long as you want it and work hard for it, you can definitely do it."
"Those who think they can't do it, it's not that they really can't do it, but that they've already denied themselves in their hearts. Even if I do manage to do it many times, it may not be perfect, but at least I've achieved what I wanted, and that's enough."
Yu Li gave a thumbs up, "As expected of Director Qi, his language skills are unparalleled. I have to show off a bit."
As she spoke, Yu Li took out her phone and took a picture of the tomato and egg noodles.
I originally intended to post it on my WeChat Moments, and the text was already edited.
However, when it came time to release the final product, Yu Li thought about it and changed her mind.
I switched to the Weibo interface and uploaded the photos using my main account.
Yu Li V: [Mr. Qi's first attempt at making tomato and egg noodles was amazing; it looked ready to be sold at a street stall. I couldn't believe it was his first time. He said, "In this world, as long as you want it and put in the effort, you can definitely achieve it."]
Yu Li has been running this main account for a long time. In addition to work-related content, Yu Li also frequently posts updates about her life. In the words of her followers, it has a very real and vibrant feel.
Therefore, most of the followers of this account are real people. Not long after Yu Li posted, fans were already leaving comments below.
[Has Pear finally remembered her Weibo password?]
[Wait, Mr. Qi? Why does that tone have such a...sweet, cloying smell of romance? So, has Pear been busy with her real-life romance since she last updated her social media?]
Upon seeing this comment, Yu Li cheerfully replied: "【Marriage before love, how can it not be love?】"
It was said in a joking tone, but it caused a huge uproar.
Holy crap, Pear got married without saying a word?!
[Sure enough, when a blogger suddenly stops updating for a long time and then suddenly reappears, it's because they've been snatched away by some jerk.]
The stench of this romance is practically wafting through the screen to me. And then I look at my freshly made Master Kong beef noodles—at least they're noodles, so I'm not jealous (though I'm actually seething with jealousy).
[Every blogger who loves their fans will proactively share photos of their brother-in-law. Pear, tell me, do you love us? Dare to share your photo?]
Yu Li raised an eyebrow, completely unfazed: "I'm afraid if I post a picture, you'll all be scared to death by your brother-in-law's handsome photos."
A group of people below said they didn't believe it.
But Yu Li swore that this time she was telling the absolute truth.
Even if she actually posted Qi Chenyan's photo, fans would only think that she stole the picture from the internet and would think that she was crazy for the sake of gain.
While Yu Li was chatting happily with her fans, Qi Chenyan silently scooped some noodles from the large bowl into a small bowl.
Only after confirming that it wasn't too hot did she move it in front of Yu Li.
"Stop playing on your phone and eat your noodles. They won't taste good if they get cold."
Yu Li then put down her phone, slurping her noodles as she asked, "Do you know what I was talking about with my fans on Weibo just now?"
"You're saying my noodles are delicious?"
Yu Li laughed: "Wrong, I said my husband is so handsome he'd kill them, but they didn't believe me. Sigh, these days nobody believes the truth, it's really worrying."
Qi Chenyan chuckled, "It's alright, they don't believe me, you can enjoy it all to yourself."
Yu Li exclaimed, "Director Qi, I've discovered that you're quite narcissistic too."
Qi Chenyan raised an eyebrow, "Can't it be considered that you're handsome and aware of it?"
Yu Li clutched her chest, tilted her head, and closed her right eye. "Ah, I'm totally captivated by your handsomeness, what am I going to do?"
Qi Chenyan raised his hand and wiped away the soup left on the corner of her lips with his fingertip.
"So it seems that only a prince's true love's kiss can awaken the sleeping princess?"
When you are gazed upon by those peach blossom eyes that seem like a galaxy, it's as if your heart and eyes are filled with only you, with such deep affection that no one can resist being captivated by such a gaze.
In the final round of playful banter, Yu Li suffered a humiliating and gradual defeat.
He almost buried his head in the bowl, frantically rummaging through the noodles.
So, can anyone tell him how Qi Chenyan, with his ascetic face, could say such shameless things?
Grandma didn't get home until almost 10 o'clock. Although she was very busy today, she was very happy. She said that government officials also came to the shop today and said that her rice noodle shop has boosted the economy of the whole village.
The government will provide assistance, hoping to leverage this surge in traffic to revitalize Panxi Village.
As a native of Panxi Village, Grandma naturally wanted the village to prosper more than anyone else, and readily agreed.
Seeing her grandmother so happy, Yu Li felt sorry for her grandmother and wondered if she was too busy, but she didn't say anything. However, she turned around and started working on the job advertisement.
Hiring more shop assistants will help Grandma with the workload, lighten her burden, and also help the village—a win-win situation.
Just as Yu Li finished designing the job advertisement, she suddenly felt a pain in her lower abdomen.
Qi Chenyan had just finished tidying up downstairs and returned to his bedroom when he heard Yu Li's panicked cries coming from the bathroom.
"Qi Chenyan! Qi Chenyan!"
Qi Chenyan immediately realized something was wrong and pushed the door open to go in. "Yu Li, what's wrong?"
Yu Li clutched her lower abdomen, bracing herself against the sink with her hand. Her face was deathly pale, and she looked panicked and helpless.
"I...I'm bleeding a little, what should I do..."
