The golden-red pumpkin glutinous rice balls have a sandy, thick texture and a slight sweetness that lingers on the tongue. The milky flavor adds to their deliciousness, and they are soft, chewy, and sweet with every bite.
Lu Yu finished the whole bowl and patted her stomach. She didn't dare drink too much, but there was still quite a bit of sweet soup left in the pot, so she decided to add some rock sugar to make it better. She had eaten very sweet fermented rice balls before, and they were delicious.
Unfortunately, Jiao Yuyin added milk, so she couldn't add any more fermented rice. Otherwise, she could have made him a special bowl of fermented rice balls.
Jiao Yuyin, who was having an online voice conference in his study, suddenly sneezed. Little did he know that he had narrowly escaped a disaster at the hands of Lu Yu, who was known for creating recipes haphazardly.
The sun hid below the horizon.
The remote meeting in the study continued.
"Let's see how the investment platform progresses. We need to find directors from outside, and external independent directors are more reliable than our current backers."
No sooner had Jiao Yuyin finished speaking than there was a knock on the door of his study.
"Knock, knock."
"Enter."
"Jiao Yuyin, would you like some sweet soup?" The study door was only half open, and Lu Yu's head peeked out from the crack, looking like the cat San San doing something naughty, which made people laugh.
Jiao Yuyin was so captivated by her sparkling almond-shaped eyes that he forgot to respond for a moment.
Seeing that the other party seemed unable to make a decision, Lu Yu simply pushed open the door, gently placed the sweet soup she was holding in her left hand on the desk, and silently gestured to Jiao Yuyin, crossing her index and middle fingers a few times, like a little person walking on two legs.
"I'm going out," Lu Yu mouthed, silently indicating.
Just as Lu Yu was about to leave, her arm suddenly felt heavy—
She was pulled into someone's arms.
The scent of patchouli wafted towards her, and she sat down in Jiao Yuyin's lap. Their chaotic breaths mingled together, creating an intimate atmosphere that seemed even more intimate than a kiss.
Lu Yu felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and dared not make a sound. But Jiao Yuyin's hands were not behaving properly; he pulled her legs and made her sit on his lap.
It feels like I'm closer to him now...
Lu Yu clearly felt her face burning up...
Jiao Yuyin clicked the mouse, pressed the mute button in the meeting room, and listened quietly to the reports from others.
“The microphone is off, you can speak, don’t be afraid to listen.” It seemed perfectly normal for Jiao Yuyin to speak in such a sexy voice.
Is it a question of whether others can hear us? This distance is clearly too easy to incite crime...
In her panic, Lu Yu tilted her head slightly; the pumpkin dumplings were the only topic she could think of to change the subject.
"I'll bring you some sweet soup."
"..."
There was no response after waiting for a long time.
Jiao Yuyin probably thought she was a killjoy. Lu Yu reflected on herself for a few seconds.
But when she turned her head again, what met her eyes was Jiao Yuyin's stunned expression, a mixture of shock and desire.
Little did Lu Yu know that as she tilted her head, her flushed cheeks suddenly drew closer, so close that Jiao Yuyin's lips only needed to move to touch the fine hairs on her skin.
At first glance, Lu Yu assumed that he still disliked sweets.
Lu Yu, always incredibly efficient, turned sideways and picked up the porcelain bowl with one hand. "Want me to feed you?"
Jiao Yuyin snapped out of his reverie and chuckled at the question. With such a beautiful woman in his arms, he was naturally happy to agree, nodding outwardly but keeping his joy hidden in his heart.
"I added some more rock sugar." Lu Yu scooped out a spoonful and fed it to Jiao Yuyin.
"It's delicious and sweet."
Jiao Yuyin looked satisfied, but before he could say more, he was met with a blow from the language master Lu Yu.
"It feels like the story of the old man taking medicine..."
"..."
Lu Yu's words instantly petrified Jiao Yuyin, shattering all his tender feelings and sending them flying to the ends of the earth.
Jiao Yuyin chuckled twice, covered Lu Yu's hand, pressed his fingers against the rim of the bowl, lifted the bottom of the bowl, and tilted the rim of the bowl.
Lu Yu's hands had to move in accordance with Jiao Yuyin's movements.
"Glug glug..."
His Adam's apple vibrated up and down in the light and shadow of the lamp.
Jiao Yuyin finished the pumpkin and glutinous rice ball sweet soup in his bowl in just a few bites.
"Stay with me for a while," Jiao Yuyin said softly.
"Is it okay?" Lu Yu pointed to the computer screen in the meeting room.
Even though the online meeting only had audio and no video, Lu Yu still felt a sense of crisis from being monitored.
"Just sit here for a while." Jiao Yuyin shook his head, appearing quite relaxed.
Lu Yu hesitated for two seconds.
...
"Mr. Jiao, that's roughly the progress of the infrared imaging and intelligent motion capture module."
"..."
"President Jiao?"
Questions were already coming from the computer. Lu Yu didn't care about anything else and urged Jiao Yuyin to attend the meeting. Then she obediently sat in Jiao Yuyin's lap, shifting her body slightly to adjust to a comfortable position.
"Yes, this level of module division in the field of intelligence is sufficient for the current stage," Jiao Yuyin said calmly, turning on the microphone.
“Currently, emerging fields are supported by charitable foundations, so there are no problems with development in the short term. However, from a long-term budget perspective, research and development funding is still insufficient.” Other people’s voices came from the computer.
Jiao Yuyin pondered for a moment and said, "Ruixin Technology needs to continue operating in a non-profit manner, so there's no need to worry about R&D funding. The third-party investment platform will provide further funding support. Xu Song, you can boldly try different approaches to technology development and product research. I want you to produce results within three months, even if they're not yet complete."
"Okay, Mr. Jiao."
"Qin Zhu, the investment platform can be accelerated, and the R&D personnel of Ruixin Company can be allocated shares according to the upper limit ratio agreed upon last time."
