Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

After saying this, the subtle expression on Alice Nakiri's face became even more pronounced.

They were inseparable when they were young, so they knew everything about each other.

After growing up, Bai Yuan went to China and became much more mysterious after returning, revealing many secrets that she didn't know. Only now are they being revealed, like peeling back layers of an onion.

Is that country really that magical? It inexplicably gives people a mysterious aura, and in just one year, Bai Yuan has become a stranger to her.

Of course, it's not a matter of unfamiliarity in personality, but rather in terms of unfamiliarity in ability.

Although Bai Yuan was very powerful in the past, his skill points were concentrated on cooking, and he wasn't very good at anything else.

But now he seems to have become a super genius who is good at everything.

Is this still the Bai Yuan she knows...?

"There should be quite a few more. Wouldn't it be interesting to discover them slowly?"

Hearing Alice Nakiri's emotional words, Bai Yuan simply smiled and said...

He certainly has many secrets. Rather than spilling them all at once, it's better to reveal them slowly, giving them an unexpected surprise.

"You're right. Teach me how to dive later, so that if you encounter danger underwater, I can go down and rescue you."

Hearing what Bai Yuan said, Nakiri Alice also felt that it made sense.

Rather than having the other person reveal all the things she doesn't know all at once, it's better to discover them gradually over time, which can be more enjoyable.

"I can teach you how to dive, but you'd better not go into the sea without my supervision, otherwise I'll be the one rescuing you."

Looking into Alice Nakiri's sincere eyes, Bai Yuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

With his abilities, he certainly doesn't need anyone to rescue him. Even without diving equipment, he can move freely underwater for more than half an hour.

But Alice Nakiri is no match for her; without any experience, if she went into the water, she would be practically blind.

"I've been worried about you, and you're making fun of me!"

Hearing Bai Yuan's slightly teasing words, Alice Nakiri said with a face full of dissatisfaction, and her little fist landed unceremoniously on his chest.

This guy can be really annoying sometimes!

"This is not a joke, but an objective fact. I will be very worried if something happens to you, so for my safety, you should stay on the ship."

As he spoke, Bai Yuan patted Alice Nakiri's head. He had done a lot of research on this body of water before coming here.

The water is calm and the wind is relatively gentle, so even in the deep water, there is not much danger. On the contrary, because there are many kinds of fish underwater, it is an opportunity.

If this beach weren't specifically reserved for people renting villas, such a great place would definitely be occupied by fishermen.

"Hmph, once I get back and practice my diving skills, you can take me with you next time you go diving!"

Alice Nakiri knew, of course, that what Bai Yuan said was true. She said it only because she was a little annoyed, and she muttered that she was going back to practice her diving skills.

"I'll teach you when I have some free time, let's do it tomorrow, I have important things to do today."

Bai Yuan naturally heard Alice Nakiri's mutterings, and thinking about how boring these girls were, a bold idea popped into his mind.

Nowadays, diving equipment and boats are available, so taking everyone to see the underwater world seems like a good option and can broaden one's life experience.

As the saying goes, to cook a good dish, you must first understand the lives of the ingredients.

Animals that run on land are relatively easy to observe, since everyone lives on land, but those that swim in the water are probably unknown to anyone except fishermen.

Diving is a great opportunity to observe food ingredients, and if you can learn something from it, it would be an incredible opportunity.

"really?"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, a look of surprise appeared on Nakiri Alice's face.

Everyone yearns for the sea, and she was no exception.

She hadn't been into diving much before, so she wasn't interested, but now that Bai Yuan was diving in front of her, the thought of the unexplored underwater world filled her with longing.

"When have I ever lied to you? How come you're starting to doubt me?"

Hearing Alice Nakiri's slightly questioning words, Bai Yuan tapped her nose with displeasure, his voice revealing a hint of helplessness.

How come even he's starting to doubt the trust between them?

"It seems I haven't done it before, so I'll wait for Master Bai Yuan to teach me tomorrow."

"You only call me master when you want to learn something."

Hearing Alice Nakiri's slightly coquettish tone, Bai Yuan couldn't help but rub her head, making her hair extremely messy.

Because of her good hair quality, Alice Nakiri simply shook her head twice, and her messy hair returned to normal.

"Hmph, are you expecting me to call you 'Master' in bed? So Master Bai Yuan likes this kind of thing! I never knew that before..."

Despite her neatly styled hair being messed up by Shiro Awakening, Alice Nakiri continued to speak recklessly.

"Yeah, I like this kind of thing. It's exciting to have a bit of a status symbol. If you insist on calling me 'Dad' in bed, that's fine too."

Since the other party brought it up first, he felt no pressure when he said it, but for some reason, the image of Leonora Nakiri came to mind when he said it.

However, he quickly shook off that thought. The other person was his benefactor and also Alice Nakiri's mother; it was best not to fantasize about it.

This is his respect for Leonora Nakiri.

"Hey! You're taking advantage of me!"

Alice Nakiri was clearly surprised by what the other person would say, and couldn't help but puff out her cheeks.

However, when she thought about the image of herself calling Bai Yuan "Dad," a faint flutter welled up in her heart, as if she was looking forward to such a thing happening.

Why don't you try it when it's wet underneath?

But wouldn't that open some unknown door to shame? I feel so embarrassed!

"Then let's not stay in bed, let's call him over now."

"do not want!"

"Can you keep your voice down? I promise no one else will hear you."

"This isn't about being quiet!"

"Then put it to my ear, I really want to hear it."

"No."

"I beg you."

"..."

"Honey, I won't tell anyone, just a little whisper."

"Okay then, but make sure you don't tell anyone."

"dad..."

"Eh!"

The moment he heard Alice Nakiri whisper "Daddy" in his ear, Bai Yuan felt an intense sense of satisfaction.

It's like a character who originally belonged outside the moral high ground is suddenly granted a pass to experience transgression within a safe script, without having to bear real sins, which is truly delightful.

If people in the world of culinary disasters were to witness this scene of the two playfully bickering, they would be so shocked that their jaws would drop.

The leader, who was usually so serious and unsmiling in front of outsiders, was now laughing so happily!

Chapter 366 Diving and Fishing

"We're here. I'll stay here and lend you a hand. You can go up first."

Holding Nakiri Alice's hand tightly, whose face was flushed, Bai Yuan led her to the yacht and then stopped to speak to her.

The yacht in front of him wasn't very big; it could only carry a dozen or so people at a time, and with the diving equipment, it was barely enough for his harem to travel together.

After all, it's a group activity, and it wouldn't be good to leave anyone out.

If the yacht is too small for them to set off at the same time, Bai Yuan would rather not go diving, so as not to leave the person behind feeling sad or even damage their relationship.

"Ah."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Alice Nakiri nodded slightly and boarded the yacht with his help.

The slightly salty sea breeze caressed her face, and a look of enjoyment appeared on her face.

"Speaking of which, no matter how hot the weather is outside, it's quite cool at the beach. The breeze feels so comfortable on your skin."

With Bai Yuan's help, Nakiri Alice boarded the yacht smoothly. Feeling the sea breeze, she couldn't help but sigh.

"This involves geographical knowledge."

The beach is cool in summer, mainly because the sea is lazier than the land.

When the sun shines, it absorbs heat slowly; when the sun sets, it dissipates heat slowly as well. Add to that the cool sea breeze blowing constantly towards the shore, which acts like a natural air conditioner, so even on the hottest days, the seaside remains very cool!

Reaching out and grasping Alice Nakiri's outstretched hand, Bai Yuan smoothly boarded the yacht. Then, to her astonishment, he sat in the driver's seat, skillfully maneuvered the yacht, and steered it away.

Why don't you ask me why I know how to drive a yacht?

"So many shocking things have happened that I feel no matter how surprising you are, I won't be surprised at all."

Standing beside Bai Yuan, watching him skillfully operate the yacht as if he had known how to drive it for a long time.

Alice Nakiri said that there is a limit to surprise; after a lot of things that she didn't understand happened, she started to think they were normal.

"Haha, so you've become desensitized."

Upon hearing Alice Nakiri's explanation, Bai Yuan, who was operating the yacht, laughed out loud and instantly understood her situation.

As more and more things happened that she didn't understand, she stopped trying to understand them, because whether she understood them or not didn't have much impact on her life.

"In a sense, I have indeed become somewhat desensitized. I'm going outside to enjoy the sea breeze."

"Go ahead, but be careful not to fall."

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid!"

Hearing Bai Yuan's slightly teasing words, Nakiri Alice laughed and cursed, then went to the corridors on both sides of the speedboat, watching the beach rapidly recede into the distance.

The cool breeze feels so nice on my skin...

Alice Nakiri comfortably squinted her eyes. It was a pity there were no lounge chairs on the yacht, otherwise sunbathing here would be a top-notch experience.

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Yuan slowed down the yacht and finally stopped in the deep water.
