Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Chapter 248 Old Love Meets New Love

Meanwhile, in the apartment.

"Did I forget something?"

Jiang Nian, who was preparing dinner, felt that something was off about the day.

It seems as if there's something left undone.

But... is there anything left undone?
The filming was completed, the martial arts training was completed, and even the apartment keys, access cards, and elevator cards were given to Huang Shengyi.

"I think I'm overthinking it."

Jiang Nian muttered something to herself, then quickly put the matter out of her mind and turned her attention back to cooking.

This has been Jiang Nian's only source of joy lately.

As a transmigrator who came from a parallel world in 2030.

In his previous life, as a corporate slave, he suffered quite a bit from the poison of those trendy Chinese food delivery services.

Now I have money and ability in this life.

Naturally, you should cook for yourself.

Only in this way can you eat comfortably and with peace of mind.

Jiang Nian was sweating profusely in the kitchen.

I'm preparing eight dishes and a soup.

in the living room.

I was busy all afternoon.

Huang Shengyi finally finished decorating her room.

Looking at the neat and clean room in front of me.

Huang Shengyi wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

From today onwards, this will be her home for the next month or two.

This made her feel somewhat enlightened.

Because she actually decided to live with Jiang Nian.

this.
"It feels surprisingly good!"

Huang Shengyi murmured.

Although Huang Shengyi was initially incredulous about his actions after regaining his senses.

Some even doubted whether they had gone mad or been possessed.

But now, let's calm down and think about it carefully.

Then she discovered that living with Jiang Nian wasn't so bad after all.

Especially when she thought of how Jiang Nian saved her in mid-air before the plane was about to crash in North India.

His face was half-human and half-ghost, paired with a thick, reliable, and incomparably tall body.

Huang Shengyi then felt an unprecedented sense of security arise spontaneously.

The surging male hormones seemed to drown her in them!
"That's what a man should be like!"

Huang Shengyi thought to himself.

I couldn't help but let my mind wander.

For a moment, those slender, white fingers, as green as scallions, became restless.

By the time she came to her senses, her mouth was already dry.

This surprised Huang Shengyi.

Because until now, no man has ever made her feel this way, even just thinking about him.

"He's truly an extraordinary person!"

Taking a deep breath, Huang Shengyi murmured.

Just as she was getting ready to tidy up the room.

at this time.

"Dong dong dong."

"Teacher Huang, are you asleep?"

A dull knocking sound suddenly came from the doorway, followed by Jiang Nian's voice.

Hearing this noise, Huang Shengyi was immediately startled.

She panicked and quickly grabbed some clothes to cover herself, looking towards the door: "No, I'm not asleep, Teacher Jiang, wh...what's wrong?"

"Oh, I just made dinner. If you're not asleep yet, Teacher Huang, come out and have some food."

"After all, I saw you've been busy all afternoon without eating anything, so you can't let yourself go hungry."

Standing at the door, Jiang Nian said.

Huang Shengyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out it was just a meal.

She thought Jiang Nian had discovered something.

So he said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll be right there."

"Okay, then I'll go to the restaurant and wait for you."

Jiang Nian replied with a sentence and then left.

Huang Shengyi quickly put on his clothes.
I smelled my hands, and then went to the en-suite bathroom in the guest room to wash them.

As cold water was splashed onto her face.

That icy, stimulating sensation finally brought Huang Shengyi back to her senses.

She patted her slightly flushed cheeks and regulated her breathing.

After feeling that there was nothing wrong with me, I wiped my face clean and went to the living room.

The living room table was already filled with eight dishes and a soup prepared by Jiang Nian.

Huang Shengyi was quite surprised to see this.

She sat down opposite Jiang Nian and asked curiously, "Teacher Jiang, this meal is so lavish! Do we have any guests today?"

"Guests?" Jiang Nian was slightly taken aback: "No, this is all for the two of us."

Upon hearing this, Huang Shengyi froze, staring at Jiang Nian in astonishment: "The two of us? Eating this much? Are you sure?"

Eight dishes and a soup!

This is quite substantial for a New Year's Eve dinner!
"Hey, what's there to be uncertain about? Just eat it."

Jiang Nian said something.

Then he picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his bowl, then shoveled it into his mouth along with the rice.

Seeing this, Huang Shengyi was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't say anything more. He simply picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and started eating.

The moment the food touched his lips, Huang Shengyi's eyes lit up.

"Wow, this is delicious!"

As a female celebrity.

Unlike other female celebrities, Huang Shengyi is not very averse to certain foods.

On the contrary, she is a gourmand.

Loves to eat, and is very particular about food!

And the pork stew with vermicelli that she just ate.

Huang Shengyi can confidently say that this is absolutely the best and most delicious pork stew with vermicelli she has ever eaten, bar none!

If Jiangnan cuisine is like the meticulous brushwork in a traditional Chinese ink painting, then braised pork with vermicelli is like the wild cursive script of the northern lands.

Ruggedness conceals delicacy, intensity is wrapped in tenderness.

Just like the Dongbei people, who are born in extremely cold places but are warm and hospitable.

When the scalding hot amber soup bubbles in the bowl, what rises is not just steam, but also a poem of flavors composed by the taste buds!

Based on Huang Shengyi's research over the years.

When making pork stew with vermicelli, it is best to cut the pork belly into slices about three fingers wide.

Its flesh is white and red, like agate.

The moment they flip in the boiling oil, the oil transforms into golden, crispy edges, and the bursting oil between the grains brings out the rich, caramel-colored aroma of the scallions and ginger.

One bite and the aroma is irresistible; it's rich but not greasy!
Vermicelli, on the other hand, is the soul that holds hidden secrets.

When the broth completely soaks it, the translucent starch reveals a silky softness.

Gently lift it with chopsticks, and the soup clings to it, trembling and incredibly tempting.

As you put it in your mouth, the rice noodles have both the chewy texture of the mountains and the lingering sweetness on your teeth.

Its smooth texture makes it easy to swallow without even realizing it.

It leaves one feeling lost and disappointed, but then it reignites, making it impossible to stop.

Of course, the most amazing thing has to be that thick soup!

Rich yet not cloying, the crispness of the pickled cabbage is like a north wind sweeping across the plains.

In a daze, it seemed as if one was transported to the vast northern plains.

Look at the laborers who live here.

With a big smile on his face, he put the cabbage into the jar to pickle.

Then the beans are poured into a mold, and through that complicated process, tofu is made.

Finally, they were brought together. All the sharp edges, soothed by the gentle heat, transformed into this exquisite delicacy.

For a moment, Huang Shengyi forgot everything.

He was only focused on eating.

Oils, like snowflakes, clung to the lips.

It made her already red lips even more captivating.

The heat from the food caused a thin layer of sweat to appear on his forehead.

Stick those stray hairs on it.

Huang Shengyi felt like she wasn't eating.

They were on a pilgrimage.

A pilgrimage for the sense of taste!
He sat opposite the yellow-clad figure.

Whenever he sees Huang Shengyi, he'll obsessively eat pork stew with vermicelli.

Jiang Nian was completely dumbfounded.

Although he knew his cooking was delicious.

But you don't have to do this!

Good heavens, the way you're acting now makes it look like Jiang Nian put something he shouldn't have in the food.

"Don't rush, don't rush, eat slowly, there's still plenty of food."

"And don't just focus on this one dish, there are other dishes too, try them as well."

Jiang Nian said, while extending his chopsticks and picking up a piece of food, placing it in Huang Shengyi's bowl.

Upon hearing this, Huang Shengyi finally came to his senses.

Realizing she had just acted inappropriately, her face flushed, and she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Teacher Jiang, it's just so delicious, I couldn't resist..."

"Alright, alright, it's nothing. Besides, I'm not blaming you. I just wanted you to order a different dish. After all, including the soup, there are nine dishes in total. Why don't you try some?"

Jiang Nian suggested.

Upon hearing this, Huang Shengyi initially wanted to refuse.

She said that one pork stew with vermicelli would be enough for her.

But then I thought, if Jiang Nian can make this dish so delicious, then the other dishes must be even better.

So he nodded, then picked up other dishes and started eating.

as predicted.

Just as she guessed.

The other dishes on the table were all very ordinary, but their taste was the best Huang Shengyi had ever experienced before!

This greatly stimulated her taste buds.

But it also meant that she was full in no time.

"Teacher Jiang, today's meal was absolutely amazing!"

"Was your family a family of imperial chefs before?"

Slumped in his chair, Huang Shengyi asked curiously.

In her opinion, the food Jiang Nian cooked would be considered top-notch even if it were placed in the imperial palace in the old society!
Because all the ingredients were brought out perfectly by Jiang Nian and blended together just right.

This is simply unbelievable.

Jiang Nian was already used to this.

Basically, everyone who has eaten with him asks this question.

So he said, "No, this is just something I figured out myself."

After all, even the imperial chefs weren't as skilled as him.

He is able to mobilize his internal energy to directly bring out the essence of food and elevate its flavor to a higher level.

The imperial chefs, however, clearly could not do that.

"You're really amazing!"

"I feel that with your skills, even if you don't work in the entertainment industry, you'll definitely make a name for yourself!"

Because all people pursue in life is nothing more than desire.

Appetite is naturally one of them.

From heads of state to ordinary people, no one can escape it in their lifetime.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be sayings like "If you can control someone's stomach, you can control them" on the internet.

Jiang Nian smiled and did not continue the discussion on this topic.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about this anymore, Huang Shengyi tactfully skipped the topic.

She stood up, picked up her rice bowl, and said, "Teacher Jiang, thank you for cooking. Let me wash the dishes today."

"Okay, thank you for your help. By the way, could you please get me a glass of water?"

"Of course, please wait a moment."

Huang Shengyi responded, then went to the living room, filled a glass of water, and placed it next to Jiang Nian.

at this time.

"Click—"

A crisp sound came from the doorway, and the door was opened.

Gao Yuan'er hurriedly walked in and said as soon as she entered, "Teacher Jiang, Teacher Jiang? Didn't you say yesterday that you would come to the set to watch me film? I've been waiting for you all day and haven't seen you at all!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian paused in his eating.

I remembered!

He finally remembered what he had forgotten to do today.

Damn it, he left Gao Yuan'er on the film set and didn't go to see her all afternoon.

"I rely on!"

Jiang Nian cursed inwardly.

He said he felt something was off about today.

So that's the reason!
And it was during this time of contemplation that he began to think.

Gao Yuan'er also smelled the wonderful fragrance coming from Jiang Nian's room and followed it over.

When she arrived at the restaurant, she saw Huang Shengyi, who was wearing an apron and standing next to Jiang Nian, serving him water.

He was completely stunned.

The current situation and relationship between the two seem far too ambiguous!
It's almost like
No! It's just like a wife pouring water for her thirsty husband after cooking!
"Teacher Huang, why are you here?!"

Gao Yuan'er stared in disbelief and asked, completely puzzled.

Huang Shengyi was also taken aback by Gao Yuan'er's sudden appearance and subconsciously said, "Because I live here."

"You live here?!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuan'er let out a soft exclamation: "But isn't this Teacher Jiang's room?"

"Yes, I'm living with Teacher Jiang now. I'm staying in the guest room next to his. What's wrong?"

Huang Shengyi honestly confessed her situation.

As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Yuan'er's pupils contracted.

She looked at Huang Shengyi in disbelief.

What the hell?
You actually moved in with Jiang Nian?!

What a joke!
You should know that when she arrived yesterday, Jiang Nian had not yet gone home, and the guest room was empty.

How come you two started living together after she went out to film a movie today?

"Could it be that"

Gao Yuan'er looked at Huang Shengyi and Jiang Nian.

The thought that had subconsciously flashed through her mind when she came in resurfaced—they've got together!

As soon as this idea came out.

Gao Yuan'er immediately lost her composure.

Because in her subconscious, she had long regarded Jiang Nian as her own!
He had even made plans to confess his feelings to Jiang Nian and take her home to meet his parents after filming "The World's Number One" was completed!

Little did anyone expect that her plan hadn't even begun to be implemented.

Suddenly, Huang Shengyi appeared out of nowhere and snatched the prize from her.

A sense of urgency and tension welled up in her mind.

She subconsciously said:
"How could you live with Teacher Jiang?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Shengyi also came to her senses and looked at Gao Yuan'er with a puzzled expression: "Why can't I live with Teacher Jiang?"

"Of course it's because I got here first! Teacher Jiang is one of my people!"

Gao Yuan'er wanted to say these words.

But when the words were about to come out, he changed his mind:

"Because it's inappropriate, Teacher Huang. You're a woman, and Teacher Jiang is a man. Don't you two feel strange being alone together in a room?"

"And Teacher Jiang, give me an explanation! You clearly promised to come watch me perform, but why didn't you show up when I was acting?!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian couldn't help but rub his temples.

When he realized he had stood Gao Yuan'er up to accompany Huang Shengyi, he knew something bad was about to happen.

Now it seems that it was indeed true!
