Chapter 91: The Female Lead’s Future Occupation
Jiang Yu thought for a moment and said, “Sure.”
Jiang Yu was okay with eating alone or with others. Now that she was having her meals together with a few other people, another person made no difference to her.
As long as Ji Churan didn’t mind.
“Great!” Ji Churan clapped her hands happily and said quickly, “Then I’ll come to Class 7 to look for you after class ends.”
“Okay.”
Ji Churan clasped her hands together and took off.
Jiang Yu thought about how she should inform her dining partner, Jiang Zeyu, that she had an additional dining companion. However, before she could walk over to Jiang Zeyu’s place, Jiang Zeyu had already taken the initiative to walk over.
“Little Sister, I have something to do at noon today, so I won’t be having lunch with you.”
Jiang Yu did not doubt him and replied, “Got it.”
…
After class ended in the afternoon, as expected, Ji Churan came looking for Jiang Yu.
She was a little out of breath. It was obvious that she had run all the way here.
Jiang Yu walked out of the classroom and followed her to the dining hall.
Previously, she had always been surrounded by Jiang Zeyu and his group of brothers, so it was usually a noisy affair as they walked along the hallways. Now, standing beside her was Ji Churan instead. Ji Churan did not speak much, so Jiang Yu felt that her ears had some peace and quiet.
Ji Churan stood beside Jiang Yu, still a little nervous.
When they reached the dining hall, Jiang Yu glanced at the chicken drumsticks through the window with a hint of longing. She held her plate and waited for Ji Churan before finding a seat.
Ji Churan was holding a small lunchbox in her hand, but Jiang Yu did not pay much attention to it.
She watched as Ji Churan ordered a simple side dish. Then, she placed the lunchbox to the side, lifted the lid, and brought out one, two, three dishes, and placed them on the table.
Ji Churan said, “I usually bring my lunch from home. I cooked a few simple dishes this morning. I can’t finish them all by myself. Good thing I have you to accompany me.”
Jiang Yu: …She suddenly felt like she had made the right decision by agreeing to have lunch with Ji Churan.
Ji Churan said expectantly, “Please, try my cooking. It might not be very good, but you can give me some suggestions.”
Jiang Yu did not bother to argue with her.
She picked up a piece of chicken and took a bite. Suddenly, she felt that the drumsticks in the dining hall were no longer as fragrant.
Jiang Yu gave her a thumbs up and mumbled, “Delicious.”
“I specially prepared the chicken by…”
On the topic of food, the moment Ji Churan opened her mouth, she recited the recipe to Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu didn’t remember any part of it though.
She’s always had an amazing memory, but when it came to recipes, it was as if she had a filtering system. When the other party talked about the process of cooking, she only had one thought in her mind, and that was…
She only wanted to cook items that were quick and easy.
Jiang Yu took a bite of Ji Churan’s beef dish. It was smooth, tender, fragrant, soft, and slightly spicy. It was equally delicious.
“This beef is a little spicy. I don’t know if you can eat spicy food, so I didn’t put too much chili in it…”
Jiang yu said sincerely, “It’s fine. Other than things that are bitter, I can eat anything sour, sweet, or spicy. You can cook as much as you want.”
Ji Churan smiled. “Alright then. I can eat spicy and non-spicy food too. I’ll follow my mood then.”
Jiang Yu nodded heavily. “Sure.”
It was only then that Jiang Yu suddenly remembered something.
Ah.
She seemed to have picked up a treasure.
The female lead’s future occupation in the book… she would become a rather famous gourmet chef.
Chapter 92: Already Outdated?
In a small corner of the dining hall.
Jiang Zeyu and Song Bi were secretly observing the situation on Jiang Yu’s side. When they saw Ji Churan and Jiang Yu chatting and laughing, it was obvious that they were having a good conversation.
Jiang Zeyu’s heart ached. His sister seemed to have a good relationship with that girl.
Song Bi was also amazed. “Brother Yu, this girl is very smart. Even she knows how to use food to seduce your little sister.”
After discovering that someone was looking for Jiang Yu, Jiang Zeyu had leaned over the window to eavesdrop on the conversation between Jiang Yu and Ji Churan. He knew that Ji Churan wanted to be friends with his little sister and had invited Jiang Yu to have lunch with her.
It hadn’t been easy for his little sister to obtain a female friend. Jiang Zeyu didn’t want to scare her away, so he had lied and said that something he something to do. In fact, he had quietly followed them to the dining hall.
He hoped that his little sister could make a friend of the same sex. After all, it wasn’t good for him to get involved in topics related to girls.
Although it would cut into some of his time with his little sister, as an older brother, he wanted his little sister to be happier.
However, Jiang Zeyu couldn’t help but feel annoyed. He held his chin and said, “Go and find out who this girl is.”
If she was up to no good, nobody could blame him for destroying her.
…
Jiang Yu stood in front of the door.
She pressed the doorbell and the door opened quickly.
A man dressed in casual clothes placed a pair of pink slippers in front of her and smiled. “You’re on time.”
Jiang Yu looked down at the pair of pink rabbit slippers in disgust but didn’t say anything and just put them on.
She walked into the house and the man closed the door. He walked into the kitchen and asked, “What would you like to drink?”
“Lemonade.”
Fortunately, after returning home, he had gone out to buy some lemons. Otherwise, she would have to drink milk.
Jiang Xingyi poured her a cup of lemonade and pointed at the two paper bags on the sofa. “The clothes are over there. Bring them with you when you leave.”
Jiang Yu replied, “Okay.”
When she had received the call from Jiang Xingyi, she was a little surprised.
Although she had given him her contact information when they met the other day, she had not expected him to contact her again so quickly.
She had thought that a busy person like him would have flown off somewhere a long time ago. She had not expected him to still be holed up here in the capital.
Did he neglect to say something?
Jiang Yu thought back to the craziness in the department store the other day. Although it was easy for celebrities to go out of fashion, Jiang Xingyi’s fame should not… fade that fast, right?
Jiang Xingyi saw her staring blankly at the lemonade and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Jiang Yu said slowly, “I’m wondering if the tickets for your concert are still selling well.”
Jiang Xingyi: “…”
It seemed like his little sister really didn’t care to follow the entertainment world. She didn’t even know how hard it was to get tickets for his concert.
The last time his company had a live broadcast, they had asked him to hand out free tickets to his fans. At that time, he didn’t think much of it, but three seconds later, as the page on his phone was still loading, all the tickets were already gone.
Jiang Xingyi thought of something and asked, “Little Sister, do you want to watch my concert? There’s a concert in Nanchuan City soon. Do you want to come?”
Jiang Yu asked, “How long will it take to get there?”
Jiang Xingyi thought for a moment. “If it’s by plane, it’ll take less than two hours.”
Jiang Yu shook her head. “That’s too far.”
Moreover, she didn’t like crowded places. It was too noisy.
Even though Jiang Xingyi had been rejected, he wasn’t too disappointed.
He thought for a moment. It made sense. Little sister was now in her third year of high school. It was almost time for her college entrance exam. It was better to focus on her studies.
Chapter 93: Like a Little Dragon Guarding Its Hoard of Gold
“You can come when I have a concert in Beijing.” Jiang Xingyi sat on the other side of the sofa and asked casually, “Have you decided which university you want to apply to?”
“No.”
Jiang Xingyi said patiently, “You have to first understand the main subjects taught at each university, then see which aspect you are most interested in. If It’s liberal arts, you can consider Hai U. If you like science better, you can consider Qing U.
“My personal suggestion, choose a university in Beijing. After all, this is the capital and the faculty is much stronger. It will be more convenient for you.”
The two universities that Jiang Xingyi mentioned were both ranked in the top 100 in the country but he wasn’t trying to put pressure on Jiang Yu. By mentioning these two universities, he was trying to give Jiang Yu a boost.
After all, there were still seven more months to go. If she worked hard, a miracle might happen, right?
Jiang Yu asked, “Which university is ranked number one in the country?”
Jiang Xingyi replied without hesitation, “Of course it’s Bei U, Beijing University.”
Jiang Yu said, “Then I choose Bei U.”
There was no hesitation.
Jiang Xingyi was stunned. Little sister was that confident?
Then wasn’t what he said just now too conservative?
Thinking that he shouldn’t undermine Jiang Yu’s confidence, Jiang Xingyi encouraged her, “Alright, then we’ll apply for Bei U. I believe in you.”
Jiang Yu was slowly drinking her lemonade. Her long eyelashes fluttered. When she didn’t speak, she looked obedient and cute.
Jiang Xingyi couldn’t help but raise his hand again, wanting to pat his little sister’s head.
However, just as he raised his hand, Jiang Yu seemed to sense something and raised her head. She then raised her eyes and stared at the hand that was directly above her head.
The little girl was quite vigilant.
After being discovered, Jiang Xingyi lowered his hand and tried to cover up his embarrassment as he rubbed his nose. “Erm, I still have some things here. You can take them with you later.”
Jiang Yu: “?”
Jiang Xingyi stood up and went to bring over a cardboard box. He opened the box and saw a sea of red and green inside. There were many, many bags and cans of imported snacks within the box.
“A friend knew I was back and sent me some food. However, I need to maintain my figure for the concert, so I can’t eat these. Since you’re here, you can bring them back with you when you leave. Otherwise, it’ll be wasted on me.”
Jiang Yu’s gaze did not leave the cardboard box.
She put down her cup, squatted down, and took out a can of biscuits from the box.
The picture on the can, looked so delicious, she wanted to tear into it immediately.
She turned her head, blinked, and asked, “Can I eat now?”
Jiang Xingyi couldn’t help but laugh.
Jiang Yu didn’t talk much, and she didn’t have any expression on her face. She looked cold and indifferent and it wasn’t easy to get along with her.
However, whenever she encountered food, her face seemed to have been lit up by a small flame, becoming ever so lively.
For example, right now, she was squatting beside the cardboard box. Looking at this and that, she looked like a little dragon guarding its hoard of gold. The light from the gold treasures made her eyes sparkle.
It was so cute.
Jiang Xingyi nodded. “Of course. They’re all yours now. Go ahead and open them if you want to eat them.”
“Okay.”
Without another word, Jiang Yu opened the package.
After taking a bite, she praised, “This is delicious!”
“If you like it, I’ll buy it for you again next time.”
Jiang Yu: “Huh?”
Realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag, Jiang Xingyi cleared his throat and tried to correct himself. “I meant, I’ll get my friend to send some more.”
