Although it would be hurtful to say it bluntly, Qi Yan really didn't know how to be tactful about this matter.

Song Yan's face revealed a trace of grievance, and she looked at Qi Yan with a somewhat complaining look.

"Mr. Qi, can't you... just wait a little longer." Song Yan said aggrievedly: "I really need this opportunity."

"Everyone needs this opportunity, and I look at ability, not whether it is necessary or not." Qi Yan sighed slightly: "Actually, I didn't want to come to the appointment today, but after thinking about it, it's not good to let a girl like you wait here, so I came."

"But, I-"

"I'll treat you to dinner today." Qi Yan interrupted her: "You still need to hone your skills for a few more years, and those who are ready to go need this opportunity."

"..." Song Yan didn't say anything else, but nodded silently.

Qi Yan knew that she was unhappy, but what could he do? Song Yan was too confident at the beginning, and was determined to get the position of tutor.

The meal was eaten in silence, and Song Yan lost her initial enthusiasm. After finishing the main course, she sat there and drank red wine intermittently. Qi Yan didn't care much, because his attention was on the next table.

—— Jiang Shui ordered a large table of food by himself, including appetizers, main courses, drinks and side dishes, which was simply terrible.

As if sensing Qi Yan's gaze, Jiang Shui also looked over and met his eyes. Qi Yan's cheeks flushed, and he quickly lowered his head to cut the steak and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Jiang Shui was right. Except for the quality of the meat, the cooking and taste were no different from the steaks in the steakhouse. As for the quality of the meat, Victoria is not the only one that has fresh meat. Others may also have fresh meat, and they are cheaper than Victoria.

It can only be said that different consumer groups have different mentalities.

After dinner, Song Yan found an excuse to leave. Qi Yan was not in a hurry either. After paying the bill, he sat on the other side of the river.

Jiang Shui was still eating his steak. Qi Yan propped up his chin and asked helplessly: "You ordered so much, can you finish it?"

"You will help me eat it." Jiang Shui said firmly: "The taste is ordinary, the meat is good."

"I didn't expect you to be right." Qi Yan picked up the unused fork and ate the salad: "Expert!"

"I'm not an expert, as long as I have contact with cooking, I will feel the difference in food." Jiang Shui said very humbly, scooped a little caviar sauce with a spoon and handed it to Qi Yan's mouth: "Taste it, it tastes delicious."

Qi Yan opened his mouth without hesitation and took it. The fish roe spread in his mouth with a little sweet aroma.

Little did they know how ambiguous their actions were to outsiders.

"How is this made?" Qi Yan's eyes lit up: "It tastes great, but why do I taste sweetness?"

"It should be processed with butter and cream." Jiang Shui praised: "Very unique cooking method." "

...This is not accepted by people." Qi Yan snatched the spoon from Jiang Shui's hand and scooped a mouthful of caviar himself: "What if no one accepts it? It can't be delicious just by listening to it...ah, it should be more delicious with rice."

Jiang Shui smiled and shook his head: "Aren't you accepted it now?"

"..." Qi Yan rolled his eyes, took the side dish rice on the side, sprinkled some caviar on it and started eating.

——Wo Cao really has to admire these people, they can study eating so carefully, it's super delicious!

What Jiang Shui said at the beginning was indeed right, Qi Yan would help him eat the food on the table.

When coming out of Victoria, Qi Yan was in a state of floating. Of course, it was his bulging belly that was floating, but in fact his weight was sinking a little bit.

"It smells so good." Qi Yan sighed, and seeing Jiang Shui's somewhat lonely face, he paused and said quickly: "Well, it's useless to smell good, it's not real. I still like what you cook more..."

"Thank you for your recognition." Jiang Shui smiled: "Qi Yan, you are the first person who supports me to be a chef. I want to go further and further on this road..."

"Then go, who will stop you, idiot."

"I hope you can always be with me." Jiang Shui expressed her wish: "When I stand at the end, you will be by my side."

Family, Jiang Ze, including...she, never support herself unconditionally.

In their eyes, he is an alternative weirdo. He has a bright future but he has to give it up and start a new path that no one recognizes.

This is probably the reason why he moved away from that bustling home.

Jiang Ze is now the ideal heir of his family, because the Jiang family has never had any disputes, so even his parents have expectations for Jiang Ze.

Jiang Shui also thinks so. If Jiang Ze can manage the family business well, it is not impossible for him to give way.

But the current Jiang Ze...

Jiang Shui's eyes flashed with a haze.

He is too arrogant and even treats others with sarcasm, including him as his brother.

"Jiang Shui."

A hand flashed in front of him, and Jiang Shui came back to his senses and looked at Qi Yan's slightly red cheeks.

"If you are willing to keep cooking for me, of course I can accompany you." After saying that, Qi Yan began to emphasize fiercely: "I just don't want to suffer a loss! It may be difficult to accompany you to the end! I always have to ask for some reward! So, so you cook for me, then I will accompany you!"

The bright moonlight did not have much effect in this brightly lit night. The soft moonlight was replaced by fierce and gorgeous colored lights, reflecting on the handsome profiles of the two people.

Jiang Shui felt that a corner of his heart was slowly changing.

Something called a heartbeat, spreading little by little, and it was about to...spread to the whole heart.

And the person who gave him this feeling was the man in front of him - Qi Yan.

Obviously, he said one thing and meant another, he was too arrogant, he was unwilling to admit anything, and sometimes he even offended people. But this was him, a person who allowed a kind of emotion that he had never formally set foot in to sprout.

"…Why are you looking at me? Am I wrong?!" Seeing him staring at him, Qi Yan thought he saw through his explanation, although this explanation was really not very good.

But in the past, no matter how flawed the explanation was, Jiang Shui would accept it one by one, indifferent like a pool of water.

"I'll cook for you."

Jiang Shui's voice was full of a smile from the heart.

"Because it's you, I'll cook for you, as long as you want to eat."

Do you still remember why you chose to continue on this path when you were hesitant?

——Because the person in front of you, he gave you a feeling of happiness.
