Just when Qi Yan thought Jiang Shui would not say anything else, his voice as gentle as drizzle sounded again.

"I like cooking and want to be an ordinary chef." His eyes with soft light moved on Qi Yan's face: "The way you eat makes me feel that it's great that I have such an ideal."

Qi Yan felt that he should not blush, and at this time, he should encourage him.

But he blushed, and it was red and hot, the kind of temperature that would keep hot for a long time if touched, which was simply too embarrassing.

Jiang Shui's tone of voice was still very dull, but Qi Yan heard infinite ambiguity and tenderness from it.

"You you you you--" Qi Yan stretched out his arms to cover his red face, widened his eyes and stammered: "What you said is so..." Making people...

making people what? Making people daydream? Cause misunderstanding? Or... make people distracted?

Jiang Shui stared at Qi Yan, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face: "Sorry, I embarrassed you."

The main course was served in time, at least to ease the awkward situation. Qi Yan tried his best to focus on the food.

Fresh fillet steak with pasta, cream of mushroom soup and a small vegetable salad.

This time, Jiang Shui and Qi Yan had the same dish. Qi Yan started eating quietly, while Jiang Shui was not in a hurry to pick up the knife and fork. He supported his chin with both hands and watched Qi Yan eat with interest.

Qi Yan, who had just taken two bites, began to blush again, feeling hot from the inside out.

"Don't look at me..." Qi Yan also put down his knife and fork: "Don't you think it's weird that one person is eating while another is watching? Aren't you hungry?"

The food is delicious. If you are not in a hurry to eat, I will destroy you on behalf of all foodies.

Jiang Shui shook his head: "I'm not hungry, I just want to watch you eat." The purpose of eating with Qi Yan is to see his true feelings when he eats delicious food. That kind of satisfaction that cannot be expressed deliberately is what Jiang Shui needs most.

As a person whose ideal career is chef, the expressions of the guests when they eat the food are what they want to see most.

Although, Qi Yan is not eating food made by Jiang Shui himself.

Qi Yan frowned and began to persuade: "Didn't you say you wanted to be a chef? If you want to be a chef, you should taste the food carefully!"

After a long silence, Jiang Shui seemed to think what Qi Yan said made sense, so he picked up the knife and fork and started eating.

After a very satisfying meal, Qi Yan touched his slightly bulging belly and got into Jiang Shui's car. The car started and returned the same way it came. Qi Yan looked at the scenery outside and suddenly remembered the paper with the restaurant's name written on it.

"Jiang Shui." Qi Yan's voice suddenly rose in the quiet space.

"What?" Jiang Shui replied.

"Next time, don't go to the restaurant." Qi Yan turned his head to the other side shyly: "You, cook something for me."

Jiang Shui's eyes widened as he looked ahead, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, until he heard himself ask again in disbelief: "Are you... serious?"

"Don't get me wrong! I don't want to taste your cooking for you! I just think, I think you always treat me to dinner, and I owe you a big favor! I don't like owing favors to others! Yes, I don't owe anyone favors!"

The hurried and chaotic explanation made it even more obvious. Jiang Shui looked at Qi Yan's head turned to the side, revealing only a little blushing cheeks.

A silent feeling of emotion and hope flashed in his heart, and Jiang Shui's voice was more firm than ever: "Yeah!"

[Male protagonist's favorability towards Qi Yan +10, current favorability: 40]

If the strategy is just to please the other party, then Qi Yan can only say that this "hobby" is simply to his heart.

Who would refuse a delicious food that is delivered to his mouth? Don't you think so?

After agreeing on a time, Qi Yan was about to get off the car when his wrist was suddenly held. Qi Yan was startled and looked over quickly.

"What are you doing!"

"Qi Yan." Jiang Shui raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Thank you, I like being with you very much."

Qi Yan looked at him, suddenly withdrew his hand, then slammed the car door, and quickly turned around and ran into the gallery.

Jiang Shui did not ignore his flushed face and slightly smoking head.

With a knowing smile, Jiang Shui started the car. Just as he was about to step on the clutch and gear, the phone in his pocket began to vibrate.

Seeing the caller ID, Jiang Shui's eyes darkened. After thinking for a while, he answered the call.

"Jiang Shui?" A rebellious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Finally you answered the phone."

"What do you want to say?" Jiang Shui's voice was very deep. Although it sounded the same as always, if you listened carefully, you could still hear a hint of gloom in it.

"Ah, I can imagine your face now, it must be very dark!" The other party laughed: "I gave you a chance yesterday, who made you not grasp it yourself... But, since the opportunity has been missed, don't think about her being with you anymore. After all, who would be willing to give their life to a person who wants to be a cook?"

Jiang Shui's face was terribly calm, like a deep pool with no bottom.

"Ah, I forgot to say, she was very angry about being abandoned by you... Most importantly, she was very disappointed."

"Is that what you want to say? I'll hang up after you finish."

"I'm always not as calm as you... Alas, I hope you will be this calm when she completely abandons you."

The other party said something else, and Jiang Shui had already hung up. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, and his hands holding the steering wheel were slightly blue.

It really doesn't feel good to be provoked...

That girl's smile is what I want to protect, even if she is in love with someone like my brother.

He lied to Qi Yan. He didn't report for Jiang Ze, but made a bet with Jiang Ze to wear a university uniform and spend a day with the girl in his department...

The girl agreed because she once expressed that she liked Jiang Shui.

Unfortunately, missing that opportunity is equivalent to losing love.

Jiang Shui was calm for a long time before starting the car and driving in one direction.

If he has to choose between "chef" and "love", Jiang Shui now will definitely choose "chef".

The things you have always dreamed of will not be given up just because of a "love" that has not been judged yet. After all, everyone has a parallel scale in his heart.

After sending the car to the garage, Jiang Shui got out of the car and took the elevator.

As soon as he entered his apartment, the mobile phone in his pocket issued a message alert tone. He opened it and saw a series of words that did not match his heart.

- Have you gone home? I'm not worried about you! I just asked casually because you invited me to dinner today, don't get me wrong!

The bad mood disappeared in an instant, and Jiang Shui smiled, a very warm smile.
