Chapter 008: Five-month agreement
The low, bewitching words really made Qin Xue stand still and let Liu Zhiyan poke her cheek.
The temperature of my fingertips is lower than that of my cheeks, and they feel icy cold, which is quite interesting.
So much so that Qin Xue was completely unaware of the issue of inappropriate physical contact between men and women.
In other words, in her eyes, the other person was just her master, regardless of gender, so she didn't think that this behavior was inappropriate at all.
When she heard Ye Qinghan's words, she suddenly woke up. The finger poking her cheek in front of her belonged to a man.
The distance between them is not suitable.
She woke up suddenly, stepped back in shock, and her face turned red.
The warmth of his fingertips suddenly vanished, and the delicate, relaxed cheek slipped away from his fingertips. Liu Zhiyan withdrew his hand with regret. Seeing the other person's flushed cheeks, he felt inexplicably happy.
Of course, it would have been better if his stress relief behavior had not been interrupted.
However, considering that the other person is a little girl, it is indeed inappropriate for me to do this.
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about his own mother. He interrupted his own thoughts and directly asked Ye Qinghan's purpose, "Are you here for her?"
As soon as I got home last night, I started to care about this silly girl. I learned that she is very talented in languages. I was even happier than when I found out that he was talented in learning languages.
It was because he no longer cared about his mother's attention. Otherwise, considering her obsession with this girl, he would definitely find a way to make this stupid girl suffer.
"I happened to be free, so I came to take a look."
Liu Zhiyan didn't believe her nonsense, but he didn't argue with her. "Then take her to the back and talk slowly. I'm busy."
Ye Qinghan waved to the little girl huddled aside, "Xiaoxue'er, come on, let's go sit in the back for a while."
Ever since she was interrupted, Qin Xue had been fanning her hot cheeks with her hands, trying to get rid of the heat on her face.
But after fanning for a long time, it seemed to have no effect at all.
Even though she couldn't see her own face, she knew that her cheeks must be red at this moment.
With such a face, she was embarrassed to see people.
But unable to resist the call of her adoring sister, she raised her feet and walked towards her shyly, then covered her face and explained, "I only thought of him as a master and didn't realize he was a man."
Noticing her discomfort, Ye Qinghan felt a little annoyed that he had ignored the little girl's feelings in order to laugh at his son's joke.
It's really not right for a man of his age to be so unreliable in doing things.
However, she found that when she met this girl, she always did unexpected things.
Just like now, seeing that she was uncomfortable, she quickly gave her a way out, "Looking at his face, I always forget he is a man."
Upon hearing her words, Qin Xue subconsciously took her hands off her face, her eyes sparkling, as if she had found a soulmate. "Sister Ye also thinks he's too handsome to be a human, right?"
Ye Qinghan also agreed with the hero, "Do you think so too?"
Qin Xue's head pounded like garlic. "Yes, yes, the first day I saw him, I felt that he was just like the spring flowers and autumn moon, making people marvel at him."
"I wonder how beautiful his parents were to give birth to such a handsome boy."
Even if Liu Zhiyan didn't care about what others said about his appearance, he couldn't stand these two people talking about his appearance in front of him. "You two, please don't be so unscrupulous in front of me and talk about my appearance. Okay?"
After hearing what he said, Qin Xue subconsciously covered her mouth, and then whispered to Ye Qinghan, "It's really not nice to say that to someone in front of others."
"Then let's go to the back and talk quietly so he can't hear us." Ye Qinghan echoed in a low voice.
Ye Qinghan's cooperation made Qin Xue feel excited to do small movements in front of others.
Because of excitement, his eyes were shining brightly, which looked particularly pleasing.
Even when they walked, they subconsciously crouched down, as if by doing so, Liu Zhiyan would not be able to see their little movements.
For the first time, Liu Zhiyan discovered that someone could make that sneaky and obscene look so cute that people couldn't help laughing.
Ye Qinghan discovered that his son, who rarely showed any expression, had been made to laugh several times by Qin Xue in a short period of time.
A hint of deep thought flashed across his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.
Take Qin Xue to the lounge at the back.
Outside the lounge, stone carvings and uniquely shaped bonsai are displayed. Entering the room, a folding screen with ink wash painting is the first thing you see. Walking around it, directly under the window, a large kang sits on top of a small table, with a futon on each side. To either side of the screen stand antique shelves displaying tea sets, antiques, and books.
There was a standing incense burner in the corner, with a few wisps of green smoke rising from it.
Very elegant environment.
Ye Qinghan pulled the person to the kang, took off his embroidered shoes and sat on the futon first, and then greeted the person, "There are only two of us here, you can sit in any position you like."
Qin Xue, who was in a dilemma, took off her embroidered shoes when she heard her words.
As a result, when she saw her two different embroidered shoes, she stopped putting on her slippers and felt secretly annoyed. She didn't look carefully when she went out in the morning and actually put on the wrong embroidered shoes again.
Her hands didn't slow down at all. She quickly lowered the hem of her skirt to cover her two different embroidered shoes. She sat sideways on the futon and said in a somewhat weak tone, "I'd better sit like this. Sitting like this, I can move my feet anytime."
Ye Qinghan was pouring water from a kettle and didn't notice her strange behavior. "Do it in the position that feels comfortable to you."
Then he began to ask her about her situation over the past two days.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xue told her how she was disliked yesterday morning because of the egg-cracking incident.
She said that if she didn't cherish the opportunity she was given, she would probably be despised and give up.
Although she had heard it from her son once, her son's straightforward way of narrating it was completely inferior to Qin Xue's emotional and angry words.
Listening to my son, he was describing the entire process of an event, from its beginning to its end.
Listening to Qin Xue, and following her emotions, she felt that her son was a piece of shit, actually looking down on a newcomer who had just started baking.
But in fact, Ye Qinghan knew better than anyone that his son was already very gentle towards the girl in front of him.
You know, in the past, when he met this kind of person, he could make people not want to see him anymore.
So she said that the little girl in front of her was very capable of influencing people with her own language and emotions.
"I'll teach him a lesson later and make him speak more politely."
"No, no." Qin Xue quickly waved her hand. "I'm not the kind of person who won't fight back or respond if he's hit or scolded. If he says something harsh, even if he's my master, I'll scold him back. I won't suffer any loss, so there's no need for you to teach him a lesson."
I said this to Ye Qinghan simply to complain, and I had no intention of asking her to do anything for me.
Then, feeling that this might be a bit damaging to my image, I quickly shared about my foreign language learning experience yesterday afternoon, and then whispered, "I think I might really be suited to learning foreign languages, just like Sister Ye said."
Although before yesterday, she didn't even know what a foreign language was.
But after yesterday's contact and the feedback Liu Zhiyan gave her when she was learning a foreign language, which was completely different from her behavior when she was cracking the egg, she inexplicably felt that as long as she learned the foreign language well, Liu Zhiyan would no longer dislike her.
When I told her about learning a foreign language that day, Qin Xue acted as if it was just a casual thing.
Now that she thinks about it, foreign languages have become more important to her than the desserts she originally wanted to learn.
Interest is the best teacher.
According to my son, this girl is talented and interested.
She was looking forward to the other party giving her a surprise in terms of language.
"Then I'll tell you in secret. If you can learn basic daily expressions within five months, I'll give you a big surprise." Ye Qinghan also lowered his voice, as if telling her quietly, as if afraid that others would hear.
Hearing that there would be surprises if she studied hard, Qin Xue became even more excited. "Okay, I will definitely study hard."
Thinking of the meringue that had just been interrupted, Qin Xue's eyes rolled around, and then she scratched her head embarrassedly, "Sister Ye, I may not be very talented in desserts, and I may not be able to learn it. I want to ask, if I can't learn desserts, can I continue to study foreign languages?"
After that, she told Ye Qinghan about how Liu Zhiyan asked her to make meringue, and told her to leave at noon because she didn't make it in the morning. Then she stretched out her thin arm to show Ye Qinghan, "With my thin arm, there's no way I can make meringue, right?"
I remembered what my son said last night, that from now on, we should just find something for this girl to do every day to let her kill time.
Ye Qinghan didn't think that he would ask the girl to get out if she couldn't make meringue at noon.
She really wanted to know how her good son would step down if the girl didn't complete her task at noon.
Ye Qinghan, eager to see his son in a good mood, decisively refused to help Qin Xue. "Your master is a very conservative person. He won't change his mind even if his parents ask him to. So you have to solve this matter yourself. I can't help you."
"Then I'll try my best later." Not to mention that it may not be done, at least you have to try.
Ye Qinghan never asked about her background, but from her clothes, words and deeds, he could tell that she was a girl who grew up in a pampered environment.
This kind of girl is usually very delicate.
The girl in front of me is no exception.
But despite her pampered nature, she has her own persistence.
This is rare.
Thinking that she had come here today, besides seeing this girl with her own eyes, she also had something to tell her, "I will be leaving Yangzhou Prefecture soon, and I am afraid that you will miss me, so I came to tell you."
Hearing that she was leaving home, Qin Xue was very reluctant to let her go. "Will you come here again in the future?"
During their last chat, she knew that Ye Qinghan was not a local, nor the owner of Fang's Desserts. She was just there to help out in the shop.
"Didn't I just make a five-month appointment with you?" She was about to go on a diplomatic mission and would be back in three or four months if nothing unexpected happened. "Shall we still meet here on Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Although five months is a long time, they can still meet. Qin Xue is satisfied, "Okay, let's see each other in five months."
