Lu Yanci served her a small bowl of pork tripe and chicken soup with a thick, white broth and a rich aroma.
The taste of the food this time amazed her.
The soup is fresh but not greasy, and the subtle pepper flavor adds a lot to the taste without overpowering it.
"Did you secretly sign up for a class?"
"That's the best compliment for this meal," Lu Yanci said, picking up a piece of pork rib and putting it in her bowl. "I didn't sign up for the class, but I did learn a bit from it."
She rested her chin on her hand and said, "Compared to you, my skills are nothing."
"It's okay, even if you boil a pot of water, it will taste sweet."
Qin Yue's eyes widened suddenly as she looked Lu Yanci up and down: "President Lu, tell me quickly, have you been possessed? How can you say such cheesy things?"
"Sweet and cheesy?" He didn't notice it at all.
When you're with someone you like, things you wouldn't do or say before suddenly become natural and effortless.
Qin Yue nodded emphatically and said in a firm tone, "Yes."
"You don't like listening to this?"
This question really stumped Qin Yue.
Regardless of gender, she thought, no one dislikes hearing nice words.
After a brief silence, Lu Yanci understood what she meant and immediately said, "I will study more on the internet in the future and try to make my sweet words sound less abrupt."
"Do you want me to buy you a few books? Something like a guide to sweet talk."
"I will apply to President Qin when I need it later."
Qin Yue gave an OK sign: "It will definitely be approved when the time comes, and the funding will be more than enough."
After dinner, as before, Lu Yanci took her home.
On the way, the topic of promotion came up, and something came to Qin Yue's mind.
Her gaze fell on the shadows of the two people, and she asked seemingly casually, "I've always heard you say that it was love at first sight. When did that first meeting begin? It couldn't really have been that blind date that wasn't a blind date, could it?"
This was the first time she had directly asked this question.
I used to think it was unnecessary.
The longer they spent together, the more she wanted to know about him.
Things that I used to think were unimportant or insignificant suddenly seem quite important.
She knew it definitely wasn't that so-called blind date.
But she really couldn't remember when the two of them had met before, except when they were children.
Lu Yanci countered, "Why couldn't it be that blind date?"
"Intuition." Qin Yue stopped, tilted her head back, and carefully examined his expression, trying to find clues on his face. "I have a feeling that we should have met before."
We cannot say that they have met.
All I can say is that he has seen her many times.
At that time, her world and her vision were filled with another person; he was never there.
"I have indeed seen it many times."
She quickly asked, "When?"
Lu Yanci gave the answer: "When you were little, didn't Auntie say that you used to hug my leg and ask for candy?"
Qin Yue: "..."
Lu Yanci pretended to recall: "I remember that our parents said that when I grew up, they would like to marry Yueyue. I said I would. It seems that everything is the best arrangement."
Why has my mom never told me this?
"Perhaps he thought that words used to coax children couldn't be taken seriously, so he didn't take them to heart?" That's the right question, but he had absolutely no recollection of how I answered.
How old were you at that time?
"Maybe five or six years old."
"Wanting to get married when you're only five or six years old?"
"Since both sets of parents asked, of course I had to say yes. The person I said I would marry when I was a child is now right beside me. Maybe it was all destined."
Qin Yue did not refute.
Fate is magical and full of drama.
Some things may be preordained by fate.
But many things are not immutable; there are always some unknowns.
For example, everyone in the film crew survived unharmed.
Therefore, Lu Yanci must live to be a hundred years old.
...
These days, a wool coat is enough to keep warm in Shanghai.
However, upon arriving in H City, Qin Yue instantly experienced what it meant to be freezing cold.
Fortunately, we were prepared.
Lu Yanci's assistant arrived in H City on a flight two hours earlier than them.
A vehicle to pick them up had been arranged long ago.
Upon their arrival, the assistant led them straight to the resort to check in, and all the clothes, hats, and shoes they needed were prepared in advance.
The hotel faces the snow-capped mountains directly.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows are continuous snow-capped mountains.
If I wake up early tomorrow, I can enjoy the sunrise from my room.
Qin Yue couldn't stay in the room, so the two of them wrapped themselves up in layers of clothing and went out.
Both were wearing quick-drying clothes, then fleece jackets, then down jackets, and finally windbreakers. Lu Yanci moved freely, while Qin Yue felt like a clumsy penguin. She pulled her gloved hand down her scarf a little, and her breathing finally became much easier.
If she climbed to the ski resort, she wouldn't have the energy to ski.
She decisively chose to take the cable car.
The entire ski resort is breathtakingly beautiful.
The ski slopes are lined with trees covered in ice crystals, layer upon layer, like thousands of blooming white flowers. Being there feels like stepping into a fairyland.
Knowing that Qin Yue hadn't had much experience with this, he specially asked his assistant to prepare double-board skis.
Once they reached the beginner slope and changed into their ski gear, Qin Yue tentatively took two steps forward, thinking that her current posture probably resembled that of a little duck.
The little ducklings can flap their wings and quack as they run around, but she can only waddle along step by step.
Lu Yanci was guiding her movements from the side.
"Lower your center of gravity and lean slightly forward."
"Bend your knees a little more."
Qin Yue did as he instructed.
At first, I couldn't quite get the hang of it, but after mastering a few techniques, my snowballs finally became useful.
After she had smoothly glided a distance and braked successfully, she couldn't help but look up and make a heart shape with her hands towards the distance.
Before she could even finish celebrating, she heard a heart-wrenching cry for someone to move aside.
"Get out of the way!"
As a novice, she didn't have such quick reaction time. She saw a figure rushing towards her without her noticing how Lu Yanci moved. By the time she realized what was happening, Lu Yanci had already moved her aside a bit.
The person who was heading straight for her slid away from where she had just been, ran towards the safety net, and then plunged headfirst into it.
The man scrambled out of the snowdrift, knelt on the ground, and looked completely bewildered.
The woman's friend rushed over and, while helping her up, couldn't help but laugh loudly.
Qin Yue was dumbfounded.
She tugged at Lu Yanci's sleeve, asking him to lead her to a less crowded area.
After falling on her bottom twice, Qin Yue noticed Lu Yanci's expression, as if he wanted to laugh but dared not.
