Hearing the beeping sound of the phone, Bai Ye shook his head helplessly.

After washing up, he left the apartment.

After school, Erina Nakiri showed up at the school gate on time in a luxury car.

She was wearing the iconic uniform of Totsuki Academy.

The white shirt paired with an exquisite black and yellow plaid skirt perfectly shows off her slender waist and long legs.

The pair of black silk stockings added a touch of mature charm to her.

Her long, soft golden hair was casually draped over her shoulders, fluttering gently in the breeze.

She stood quietly beside the car, her figure graceful.

But his eyes kept looking towards the school gate, revealing a hint of imperceptible anxiety and expectation.

Sure enough, not long after, Bai Ye's figure appeared in her sight.

He walked towards this side with steady steps, neither hurried nor slow.

Seeing Bai Ye gradually approaching, a faint blush instantly appeared on Erina Nakiri's cheeks.

She lowered her head slightly in a panic, as if trying to hide her shyness.

Then he quickly raised his head and waved vigorously towards Bai Ye, greeting him in a soft but somewhat anxious voice:

"Ye Jun, this way!"

The sound was particularly clear at the noisy school gate, attracting the attention of many students around.

Their eyes moved back and forth between Erina Nakiri and Byakuya.

Their eyes were full of curiosity and speculation, and they were all secretly wondering what the relationship was between this blonde beauty and Bai Ye.

Could it be that there are girls outside of school who like Bai Ye? !

Thinking of this, many boys felt their hearts broken again.

At this time, Bai Ye raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and quickened his pace towards Erina Nakiri.

After the two of them sat in the back seat, Nakiri Erina bit her lip and broke the silence first:

"I didn't expect you to agree to meet my grandfather. I thought you would refuse."

Bai Ye looked at the shy God's Tongue in front of him and raised the corner of his mouth.

"Since it's Erina's invitation, I naturally won't refuse. But why does he suddenly want to see me?"

Erina Nakiri's eyes flickered, and after a moment of hesitation she said:

"I'm not sure either. Grandpa just said he was curious about you. Maybe it was because I told him about the bowl of seafood noodles you made."

Bai Ye stared into Erina's eyes, with a hint of inquiry and tenderness in his eyes, and said softly:

"Just because of a bowl of seafood noodles? Although that bowl of noodles is delicious, it shouldn't be something that your grandfather would worry about so much."

His fingers casually stroked the car window, as if he was thinking about something.

But in fact, he knew it very well in his heart.

The other party is interested in him because of his potential.

After all, being able to make dishes that even the God's Tongue can't find fault with speaks volumes.

And Erina Nakiri's mother, Managi Nakiri, was cursed by the Tongue of God.

This caused her to become bored with eating mediocre food, so she could only survive on nutrients.

It can be said that although the Tongue of God made her successful, it also harmed her.

Nakiri Senzaemon's greatest wish in this life is to break the curse of the God's Tongue.

Soon, the car arrived at the Nakiri family's residence.

This is a luxurious mansion in traditional Japanese style.

Erina walked lightly in front, and Bai Ye followed behind her.

They walked slowly along the winding corridor, and soon they arrived in front of a tea room.

Erina gently pushed open the door of the tea room.

I saw Nakiri Senzaemon already sitting there. He was wearing a dark traditional kimono, and his eyes were sharp and deep.

Seeing Bai Ye coming in, Nakiri Senzaemon raised his head slightly.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on his face, and then he nodded slightly.

His eyes gestured for Byakuya and Erina to sit down on the tatami mat opposite.

"Young man, are you Bai Ye?"

Nakiri Senzaemon's voice was deep and powerful.

Bai Ye's expression was very calm, and he answered neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Yes, Mr. Nakiri, I have long heard of you. It is a pleasure to meet you."

His eyes were clear and firm, and he met Nakiri Senzaemon's gaze without any dodging.

Nakiri Senzaemon smiled, his eyes revealing a trace of scrutiny:

"I heard you're quite talented in cooking. I wonder where you learned it from?"

Bai Ye said frankly: "I have never had a master. Most of my cooking skills are acquired through my own exploration and practice."

A hint of surprise flashed in Nakiri Senzaemon's eyes, as if he was a little surprised by the answer.

Next, he asked Bai Ye many questions about his insights and ideas about cooking, and Bai Ye answered them one by one.

Nakiri Senzaemon listened to Bai Ye's answer and nodded continuously.

The expression on his face gradually changed from initial scrutiny to appreciation.

"Yes, to be honest, even Erina doesn't know these questions."

There was a hint of pride in his tone, as if he was happy for Bai Ye's outstanding performance, and as if he was teasing his granddaughter.

"I have to say, you really surprised me."

Nakiri Senzaemon looked at Bai Ye again, the light in his eyes becoming brighter and brighter, as if he saw a rising star in the culinary world.

And Erina Nakiri heard this.

He immediately sat up straight like a kitten whose tail was stepped on.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes widened, and she began to argue:

"Grandpa, who said I don't know? I obviously know most of it, okay?"

Her voice was crisp and urgent, with a hint of girlish coquettishness and unwillingness to accept it.

He unconsciously waved his hands in front of his chest, as if this could increase the credibility of his words.

Nakiri Senzaemon couldn't help laughing as he watched his granddaughter trying to explain herself anxiously. He shook his head slightly.

He waved his hand, his gesture showing a hint of doting, and said, "Okay, okay, it was Grandpa who said the wrong thing."

"However, it is indeed rare for this kid to have such insights."

His gaze fell on Bai Ye again, his eyes full of admiration and expectation.

Just as he was about to ask the other party to become his disciple, Bai Ye spoke first.

"Mr. Nakiri, you must be looking for me today because of Erina."

Bai Ye's tone remained calm.

"Oh? Why do you think so?"

When Nakiri Senzaemon heard this, he also became interested.

"It's simple. I heard that Erina's mother also possesses the Divine Tongue?"

Bai Ye raised the corner of his mouth.

"Yes."

Nakiri Senzaemon nodded.

Although Nakiri Managi rarely appears in public, as the only specific executive officer of WGO, she also appears at a few WGO meetings every year.

So it’s not surprising that the other party knows.

"From what I understand, Erina's mother can only survive on nutrients."

"And this is the curse of the Tongue of God, am I right?"

Bai Ye paused, his eyes swept across Nakiri Senzaemon's slightly surprised face, and continued:

"I believe you're worried that Erina will suffer the same fate, which is why you're interested in me, someone who can cook dishes that will satisfy the God's Tongue."

"You hope that I can find a way to break the curse, or at least help Erina walk more steadily on the road of cooking."

"You're not completely bound by this curse, are you?"

A complex emotion flashed in Nakiri Senzaemon's eyes.

There was the surprise of having one's true feelings spoken, and there was also deep worry about the future of her granddaughter...

He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "You are right. The curse of the Divine Tongue is like a dark haze that has always shrouded our family."

"Erina has displayed the ability of the Divine Tongue since she was a child. I'm both pleased and terrified by her talent in cooking."

"I have searched through various ancient books and visited many talented people, but I still haven't found a way to crack it."

There was a hint of fatigue and weakness in his voice, which was the helplessness of a grandfather facing an unsolvable family dilemma.

"grandfather..."

At this time, Erina Nakiri also learned for the first time that the Tongue of God was actually a curse.

No wonder her mother left without saying goodbye when she was very young.

It turns out it was because of the Tongue of God.

"What if I say I can resolve the curse of the God's Tongue?"

Bai Ye suddenly spoke at this time.

"Are you telling the truth?!"

Nakiri Senzaemon looked at Bai Ye deeply, as if trying to see the truth of his words from his eyes.

If what the other party said was true, he would agree to it no matter what the price was.

"Really, Ye Jun?!"

After hearing this, Erina Nakiri also showed a surprised expression.

If the other party can solve the curse of the Tongue of God, then wouldn't her mother be able to return to the family?

Bai Ye met the two people's anxious gazes with a calm and confident look. He nodded slightly and said:

"I wouldn't joke about this kind of thing. I'm 100 percent sure."

His eyes revealed a calmness and confidence that made people choose to believe him involuntarily.

Nakiri Senzaemon stared at Bai Ye closely, his hands trembling unconsciously, and his voice became a little tense:

"If you can really do this, my Nakiri family will be grateful to you."

"This curse has plagued our family for too long, and I've lost so much..."

His words were filled with years of pain and helplessness, as well as his cherishment of the glimmer of hope before him.

Tears glistened in Erina's eyes, a light mixed with joy and anticipation.

She walked forward, grabbed Bai Ye's sleeve, and said with a trembling excitement in her voice:

"Ye Jun, if you can save my mother, I...I don't know how to thank you."

Her cheeks flushed with excitement, and her eyes were filled with longing for her mother and longing for family reunion.

Bai Ye gently took Erina's hand, with a slight smile on his face. 5.5 "It's very simple, as long as you become my woman."

When Erina heard Bai Ye's words, she was stunned at first, her cheeks instantly became hot, and the blush quickly spread to her ears.
