In the run-down classroom.
"You have to lift your hands higher and keep your leg closer to your body."
"You have to stay upright and firm, like an unbreakable metal board."
"The leg in front must be hooked inwards. That's right, just like that. Remember this."
Lin Fan came over to the place right after selling ten pieces of scallion pancakes. He had reached at about 9 am, but the students had already been there since 7 am.
They were very serious and determined. He could see from their eyes that they were extremely eager to perform in the annual show. They hoped to perform well and Lin Fan wanted to fulfill their dreams.
After practicing for an hour, Lin Fan let them take a break. Then, they sat in a circle and Lin Fan started to explain about Ba Gua Zhang to them. As a result, he got six Encyclopedic Points. Along with the points he had accumulated from selling scallion pancakes, he had 78 Encyclopedic Points in total.
There were 14 days to go to the annual show and they had been learning some simple moves which looked good but weren't practical. Lin Fan was still trying to correct their posture. It was practically impossible to learn it fully in such a short time. He could only familiarize them with the movements and actions. At the same time, he wanted to make them execute the movements gracefully. After all, they weren't going for a fight. They only had to look like they knew what they were doing.
"Instructor Lin, we've rested for some time, let's continue," Zhang Tao smiled and said.
Lin Fan smiled as well and said, "I like how you're not complaining of fatigue. Ask the rest if they're tired."
"Instructor Lin, we're not tired," the others said at the same time.
"Alright, let's continue then," Lin Fan was elated when he saw that they were so hardworking and determined.
Although they had only interacted for a few hours, he understood from them that some of them were born handicapped while there were some that fell when they were young. Furthermore, they didn't have rich family backgrounds, so they joined the Association of the Handicapped to learn some skills so that they could earn some money using the skills in future.
At 11 am.
"Guys, let's stop. I'll bring you out for lunch," Lin Fan said.
Upon hearing that, Liu Ming Ming lit up and said, "Instructor Lin, let's go to the food hall for our meal. The food there is awesome!"
"Alright, let's go!" Lin Fan said.
At the food hall.
Most of the people from the Chinese Martial Arts Association were having their meals there.
Zhang Tao came over and said, "Instructor Lin, we'll treat you to lunch!"
Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "No, I have a card."
Zhang Tao just said, "Okay." Then, he took out his card and said, "The six dollar meal, please," before swiping at the machine.
What could a six dollar set meal contain? He took a glimpse and saw a piece of cabbage, a small plate of spicy tofu and two to three pieces of fat meat. That was all he was eating. Then, he looked at the plates of the other students. They had also ordered the six dollar set meal, which was simple and not very nutritious.
When they returned to their seats, Lin Fan looked at the chef and said, "Could I have three plates of fish, three plates of chicken, six plates of beef and six bowls of steamed eggs?"
Lin Fan didn't know how their families were doing but from the looks of their lunch, perhaps they weren't doing too great. Then, he took some of the plates and went over to join them.
Zhang Tao was shocked and he said, "Instructor Lin, this…"
"Don't just look. Quick, come over and help me. Do you want me to make a few trips just to bring all of them over?" Lin Fan smiled and said.
"Ah, of course not."
They all hurried to the counter and took the food.
When all the dishes had been carried to the table, Lin Fan smiled and said, "Eat quickly, we'll continue practicing after this."
Liu Ming Ming looked at the scrumptious spread on the table and was extremely happy. She quickly thanked Lin Fan, "Thank you, Instructor Lin."
The food at the association's food hall wasn't very delicious, but he ate a little bit and went to the toilet. He saw Chairman Wang whose face was extremely red. His body stunk of alcohol as he walked out of the cubicle.
Lin Fan glanced at him and went into the toilet. This man didn't seem to like Lin Fan and hence, Lin Fan ignored him.
Wang Yun Jie saw that Lin Fan didn't greet him and was a little unhappy. Then, he chided, "This new person doesn't seem to know the rules here. He didn't even greet me after seeing me."
"Brother Wang, who was that?" the Chairman of Muay Thai, Yuan Guang, asked.
"An inexperienced fool. I wonder what the headquarters were thinking to have requested for this man to join the association. It's just Han Lu. I could beat ten of him if I wanted to," Wang Yun Jie said as he continued to drink his beer.
Yuan Guang said, "That's normal, don't be bothered by him."
"Yeah, let's go to the opposite side to shower," Wang Yun Jie said.
He walked with a swagger and everyone avoided him. They all knew that he was Chairman Wang and he was infamous in the Chinese Martial Arts Association. Most people didn't dare to offend him.
Meanwhile, Zhang Tao and his friends all felt extremely blessed as they had such a good meal. They carried the trays to the tray return area. Liu Ming Ming was extremely happy.
Then, Wang Yun Jie bumped into Liu Ming Ming's tray and the leftovers in the plates stained his clothes.
Wang Yun Jie was infuriated when he saw that his clothes had been stained. Then, he said, "You must be blind!"
Liu Ming Ming was frightened when she saw that it was Chairman Wang, she quickly bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, Chairman Wang, I didn't do it on purpose."
Wang Yun Jie's face was really red and his breath smelled like alcohol. He said, "You guys walk without looking at where you're going. Did you lose your eyes as well as your arms?"
The people around him who hadn't finished their food were extremely angry when they heard his words. They felt that Chairman Wang had gone overboard with his words.
But they didn't dare to offend Wang Yun Jie and they just lowered their heads.
Yuan Guang wasn't really drunk and felt that Chairman Wang was being really rude. Then, he said, "Brother Wang, forget it, they're just kids. They don't know what they're doing."
Although Wang Yun Jie was a little drunk, he wasn't angry because of such a small thing, he was angry because of Lin Fan. He felt that the guy had stolen his limelight. So what if he had beaten Han Lu? Could he rise up to the heavens?
After all, he had entered the association based on his own abilities years ago. Now, a person without any experience or achievement had entered the Association just like that and even became a Chairman too. What rights did he have to attain such a high position?
The thought of Lin Fan not greeting him infuriated him.
Zhang Tao went in front of Liu Ming Ming and said, "Sorry, Chairman Wang, please forgive her."
As he saw that more people had surrounded them, Wang Yun Jie shouted, "Watch where you're going in future. A bunch of stupid handicapped people shouldn't even be trying to learn Martial Arts."
Then, Yuan Guang held onto him as they walked towards the door.
Liu Ming Ming and her friends all felt like crying as their eyes turned a little red.
"Wang Yun Jie, you motherf*cker. You better not move," Lin Fan came out of the toilet and shouted. He had only managed to hear his last sentence clearly.
What did you mean by a bunch of handicapped people shouldn't be learning Martial Arts? You can't go about humiliating people like that.
The people around them were shocked at what was happening.
"Instructor Lin," Zhang Tao and the rest were looking at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan nodded and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Wang Yun Jie was already at the door but when he heard what Lin Fan said, he turned back and pointed at Lin Fan, "What did you say?"
Yuan Guang tried to pull Wang Yun Jie back as he said to Lin Fan, "How could you speak to Chairman Wang like that? Apologize, quickly!."
Lin Fan was extremely angry. A Chairman of such an old age dared to say such hurtful words to a bunch of teenagers. Even if he was drunk, he couldn't be forgiven.
"Apologize to my students now, for your words earlier," Lin Fan demanded.
Wang Yun Jie shouted, "Who the f*ck do you think you are?"
Lin Fan was extremely furious and he said, "I finally understand everything now. Just one person like Han Lu made all of you turn into cowards. It's all because of people like you who are in the organization."
"What did you say?" Wang Yun Jie was infuriated.
Yuan Guang tried to hold him back but failed. It wasn't easy to hold back a drunk man.
"Don't ask me to repeat my words. I only said one thing: apologize to my students now," Lin Fan said.
"Dream on, what can you do to me?!" Wang Yun Jie shouted.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "If you don't apologize, I will turn you upside down and throw you out of this place."
Wang Yun Jie was furious at his threatening and said, "You dare?"
Lin Fan immediately raised his arms and slammed the stainless steel table. There was a loud bang and the table broke apart. Then, he shouted, "You'll see if I dare or not."
It was the angriest Lin Fan had ever been. Even when he had been arguing with Ying Jin, he had only done it for fun, but things were different now.
His slam stunned everyone. That was the true power of kungfu. It was a stainless steel table and it broke apart with just one blow. Who else could've done that?
Even Wang Yun Jie became a little soberer.


I am Lin Fan and I've become a jack of all trades just because of a powerful Encyclopedia. 
In the first ever competition organised for trolls, all the other contestants lost. The crowd exclaimed, "Brother, you're so good at trolling." 
Lin Fan replied, "But I've never been trolling..."

The Shibuya man was chatting with his friends on Twitter and complaining to several singers who were also on the NicoNico website. 
His name was Mizutani Shun. He was a top student at University of Tokyo. His girlfriend was Ren Xue, from China, and was also a top student at University of Tokyo. In fact, the two were already dating before University. They had dated for about four years. 
Mizutani's diligent work in NicoNico was inseparable from his girlfriend's support. He was a singer, and his girlfriend was a dancer. The two inspired each other, making progress together. They had many things in common. 
In the eyes of outsiders, they were the best couple. 
But Mizutani Shun knew that if a cross-cultural romance was to be maintained, it was not enough to rely on connection alone. 
Just like choice of food, the two would always have differences. 
Ren Xue studied in Japan when she was in high school and she was always interested in her hometown food. However, Mizutani Shun had eaten unbelievably bad Chinese cuisine in high school. His impression of Chinese cuisine had fallen deeply. In addition, he was Japanese and often dissatisfied with his girlfriend's recommendation of Chinese food in daily life. So, he always supported and ate Japanese cuisine.
They couldn't convince each other. This had already evolved into a cultural conflict. 
Woo, woo. 
Mu Xiaoyue, who was playing with her mobile phone, couldn't help smelling the air. Suddenly she raised her head. Her cheek faced the closed kitchen. She sniffed a scent of vegetable fragrance and her belly rumbled. 
"So hungry…" 
Mu Xiaoyue stopped playing with her mobile phone, and her beautiful face was wrinkled and looked distressed. 
The claypot dish was vegetarian. The fragrance was sealed in a casserole, and it was separated by a closed kitchen. No one else in the store noticed the smell. 
However, when Xia Yu was cooking the two meat dishes, the spicy beef mixed with chili, the rich aroma of pork and fish was just like a gas bomb, dropping into the store. 
"What's this smell?" 
A group of singers were comforting Mizutani Shun in a group chat. His mood gradually returned to calmness. At this time, a strong scent entered his nose. 
Grunt. 
His stomach was protesting, and stomach acid was secreted.
Just from the smell, it already made Mizutani Shun's body feel the urge to eat!
'Want to eat! Want to eat! I really want to eat it!'
Mizutani put away his mobile phone and glanced at his girlfriend Ren Xue. And he saw that she also had intoxicated expression with her eyes closed. He couldn't help thinking. '...How can people's appetite be opened by smell alone?'
On the other side, An Ya handed a tissue to her girlfriend. Her shoulders were trembling, and she tried not to smile.
"You pig, wipe your saliva!" she whispered in a low voice.
Mu Xiaoyue seemed to be immersed in the illusion of the incense and ignored the voice of her girlfriend.
An Ya then pick up a tissue to help Mu Xiaoyue wipe her mouth. It was not an exaggeration. A strong cooking scent could stimulate the salivary glands to the maximum. Mu Xiaoyue was a foodie. An Ya did not wipe her saliva just once or twice.
Boom!
At this time, the closed kitchen door was opened, and Xia Yu was wearing a white kitchen hat and a white apron. His left and right hands were holding plates of Chinese food that had just been fried and placed on the counter.
"You can take them by yourself." 
As Xia Yu said this, he went back to the kitchen and wrapped the hot casserole with a rag. He took out braised assorted vegetables with marinated tofu. 
The two Chinese ladies almost lay on the counter like puppies sniffing bones, staring firmly at the two freshly prepared meat dishes. 
"Pay attention to your image!" 
Xia Yu put the casserole down and patted their shoulders. He took two clean porcelain bowls and returned with two bowls of steam rice. "Take the rice." 
In such a short time, An Ya and Mu Xiaoyue had put the three courses on their table. They both took chopsticks and were sitting on the chair. They had obviously tried it. 
He didn't know why, but the couple also sat around the table. They held the chopsticks stained with a bit of oil. 
The Shibuya young man, with a petrified look on his face, slowly chewed the beef in his mouth. 
He tasted the satay beef. 
This was a Cantonese dish, or more precisely, a Chaozhou dish. 
The secret lied in satay sauce and peanut.
But knowing how to make it was not enough to make it delicious. In the Chef God Space, Xia Yu spent three days thoroughly understanding this dish. Even with multi-tasking and cooking fish-flavored pork shred at the same time, the finished dishes were still scored a high score of 80 in the system. 
Golden-colored beef slices were scattered on a white porcelain dish. The thick satay sauce was poured on the beef slices. The taste was mixed with a little chili and it could stimulate the appetite to the maximum.
Under Xia Yu 's gaze, after Mizutani Shun swallowed a piece of satay beef, his eyes were shining, as if he were a beast which had just found its prey. His eyes were covered with blood, and his chopsticks couldn't stop. 
His girlfriend also turned into a hungry ghost. 
The shop was silent for a while. The only sound was the movement of chopsticks touching the plates.
Within a few minutes, a large plate of golden beef slices was eaten clean. 
But Mizutani Shun apparently had appetite. He had a hungry expression that looked like he didn't have enough. He was staring at the remaining satay sauce on the plate. His adam's apple rolled a bit and he seemed to intend to lick the plate. 
"Delicious?" A cold voice made Mizutani Shun wake up. 
Following the voice, Mizutani saw the young chef whom he looked down on in his heart before. Xia Yu's eyes were calm.
"Good, very delicious..." Mizutani's face stiffened, but he couldn't laugh even if he wanted to. 
Silence. 
"What kind of sauce is this. Why haven't I eaten before?" Mizutani pointed to the thick sauce on the white plate and swallowed his saliva quietly. 
"Satay sauce." 
"Originating from the Chaoshan area of ​​China and prevalent in many provinces and cities, it is a mixed condiment. The raw materials are peanut kernels, white sesame, fish, dried shrimp, shredded coconut, garlic, mustard..." 
He listened to Xia Yu casually saying a lot of ingredients. 
"Satay sauce?" Mizutani Shun thought it sounded a little familiar. His girlfriend Ren Xue seemed to have bought such a bottle of sauce in Chinatown before. 
"Don't use the bottled satay sauce in the grocery store to compare with the homemade satay sauce from our Xia's shop," Xia Yu said, "With the homemade satay sauce, we can make many dishes. The satay beef is just one of them. I can also make satay noodles, satay dumplings, satay ribs and other dishes. You can try more in the future." 
Xia Yu finished talking and turned back to kitchen. He washed the pot and cleaned the residue on the kitchen counter.
Mizutani Shun stood blankly for a while, reminiscing about the taste between his lips and teeth. The original impression of Chinese cuisine in his mind somehow collapsed after tasting this satay beef.
"Good! Very delicious!"
Mu Xiaoyue's exclamation made Mizutani realize that he still had two dishes to try.
He couldn't take care of the complex emotions in his heart, and hurriedly reached his chopsticks to a dish on the table. He joined with Ren Xue, An Ya and Mu Xiaoyue to fight for the food.
Fish-flavored shredded pork was more fragrant and delicious, and Mizutani Shun almost bit his tongue.
The second plate was quickly emptied.
The two bowls of rice were completely forgotten, and four pairs of green and faint eyes turned to the casserole that hadn't been uncovered.


Xia Yu made a wish to eat until he vomited. And this particular wish brought him to a completely strange spirit world which was full of cuisines.
What, Chef God System?
"You need to not only satisfy normal people's appetite but also all kinds of devils and ghosts. Use your food to move them!" the old man said to him coolly.
So, Xia Yu would never stop running on the road of becoming a Chef God.
 

In the late night, 
At Jim Chin's apartment, 
Jim calmed Tina and moved her to the couch by gently grabbing her soft hands. 

Then she explained the whole story to him.
Few moments later, he asked with a surprised look and anger on his face, "So that guy punched you just for five yuan?"
She replied with a sad look, "Yup, but he later found the money dropped on the floor."
"Finally the old lady apologized. Though reluctantly..."
"That's the whole story. No big deal."
Jim is silently listening her words and feeling sad and pitiful. His heart is aching like someone hurt his dearest thing, but he is rejecting this feelings. 
Then she took a sigh and said, "Don't look at me like this. I've been like this thousand of times. I've got used to it."
"I don't need your sympathy."
He went silent for a moment, like someone stole his words from his mouth. 
After a moment, he gently put his hand on her head and said, "You are such a girl armed to teeth..."
"Can't you be just less alert and face the reality bravely...."
Then he gently started rubbing on her head. Tina is looking in his eyes and they were so closed to each other. 
Then he said with a smile, "You are actually....." he was about to say further but suddenly a sound produced from Tina's stomach, "Coooo..."
"Cooo..."
"Cooo..."
She started blushing and Jim said with an awkward face, "Your stomach is honest."
She immediately stood up from the couch while saying, "I will make some instant noodles..."
He thought in his mind with a pissed expression on his face, 'Again, those stuff of no value!' 
Then he immediately grabbed her hand and said loudly with an angry face, "Stop doing it..."
Then he also stood and said while moving towards the door, "Follow me"
She asked in confusion, "Hey! Where are we going?"
He replied with a smile, "Stop asking! Just follow me!"

                         ~10 Min later~
At the outside of a famous Chinese Restaurant,
Jim took Tina to the Shinko Chinese Restaurant for dinner but it's already closed. 
Tina taunt him, "You come here assuring me it's good. Then it turned out to be like this."
He replied with a regretful look, "It shuts down so early. Also out of my expectation."
He smiled like a dog and said, "Let's go to that western restaurant!"
Tina yelled at him, "No!"
He asked in confusion with a little frightened look on his face, "Why?"
She again replied loudly, "I don't wanna go there. Anyway!"
Suddenly a thought flashed in her mind and she said out loud, "Ah! Got it!"
There is a spark in her eyes and a big smile on her face with her confidence look she said, "I know there's a good place!"
"Come with me. I'll bring you some delicacies."

Inside a cheap restaurant,
Tina and Jim is sitting on a table. 
She is looking normal and energetic but Jim is feeling too awkward. 
Tina said to a waiter while raising his hand, "Hey, boss! Ten plates of roasted meat. Five plates of sheep waist meat, and an order of stinky tofu!"
The waiter noted all the items and said with a smile, "Got it!"
Jim is feeling very uncomfortable, he said with an awkward look, "This is the good place you mentioned?"
She twitched her eyes and said, "Hey, our CEO Chin, who is always at high ranks, should never come to such outdoor restaurant!"
"Today I will show you what the real world is!"
He went silent for a moment because of awkwardness. 
Suddenly the waiter came with the plates of food, "Here are your sheep waist meat and stinky tofu!"

She started praising that food, "The stinky tofu of this shop is quite smelly but tasty. Take it!"
"The sheep waist meat is specially for you! Take it and you'll get better soon!"
That tofu was very stinky. He get pissed from that terrible smell of tofu and yelled, "Are you kidding me. Aren't you?"
Suddenly a person heard that voice and moved towards that voice, "What?"
He said with a surprised look, "Jim!?"
Jim recognized that voice and immediately turned around, "Hem?"
It was Yi Kuan, he said with a smile while moving towards Jim, "Here is Miss Tung!"
"Why are you two here?"

Jim Chin, a rich CEO of Chin Company. This guy is cold blooded and a big playboy. But recently he met an ordinary girl and started to fall for her. Will his love story be successful or he will ended up destroying her virginity too? Let's find out!

I'm also a big fan of this manga and I'm translating it.

"Crowdfunding for a new dish?" His customers were all feeling puzzled.
"Are you trying to borrow money from us, Mag?" Mobai asked after reflecting on his words.
Habeng's eyes brightened. "New dish! Mag, are you planning to sell another dish?" Sure, the Yangzhou fried rice was good, but if he was given a chance to try other food that was as delicious, he would gladly take it.
Conti and Haga were looking at Mag, wondering. This man is kind, but he always keeps his distance. He seems a little strange, wanting to borrow money from people that he has known for only one day.
"Yes." Mag nodded, smiling. "But the necessary appliances and ingredients cost money. I can make enough money this month, but I want to add this new dish to the menu sooner, so now I'm starting this crowdfunding campaign. You can look at it as lending out money to me. It's completely up to you."
Then Mag put the six receipts he had just prepared on the table. "One receipt is worth 500 gold coins. If you buy one, you'll gain the prior right to try the new dish and get two plates of Yangzhou fried rice for free. This money can be used to pay for your expense in the restaurant, and at the end of the month, all the remaining money will be returned," he continued.
"500 gold coins is not enough to buy 100 plates of Yangzhou fried rice, and we'll stay in this Chaos City for a month. And more importantly, I'd like to try the new dish as soon as possible. Give me two receipts," Habeng said as he took two receipts from the table brusquely. Then he put a purse on the table. "This is 100 dragon coins."
"Thank you." Mag took a look at the bulging purse and nodded with a smile, showing little excitement.
Mobai thought for a while and took two receipts too. "Then I'll have two receipts too. If I eat six plates a day, this money could almost last me a month; plus, I get four plates for free." Then he turned to Mag. "I don't have enough money with me right now, Mag, but I'll bring it to you after breakfast."
Mag nodded. "Okay. Thank you." He had raised 2,000 gold coins in an instant.
"I'll have one as well. Please tell me in advance when you have a new dish on menu." Conti smiled as he rose to his feet. He pulled two fistfuls of dragon coins from the purse at his waist and counted out 50 coins.
"I … one." Haga took the last one with a smile. "Pay for me. I'll pay you back," he said in another language as he gave his brother's shoulder a pat.
"Don't you have money?" Habeng asked, a little surprised.
"I like spending others' money first," Haga answered with a smile.
Habeng didn't know what to say. He had no choice but to put 50 more dragon coins on the table, feeling his brother had become a little strange.
Amy looked at the shining dragon coins that were piled up like a little mountain. "Father, these coins are ours?" She looked at Mag, her little mouth slightly open.
"No." Mag shook his head, smiling. "These customers lend us this money for our new dish. They just leave the money with us temporarily. This way, Amy will be able to eat the new food early."
Amy cast Habeng an appreciative glance. "Loud Voice is very good today." Then she started counting the coins cheerfully.
Habeng felt a little happy at first, but then he smiled awkwardly when he realized that maybe he shouldn't be so happy.
Mag looked at his four customers with a smile. "Thank you all for your money. I'll introduce my new dish quickly and notify you of the progress. You'll be able to try the new dish in a day or two if nothing goes wrong."
"No matter. I'm sure it'll be very good." Habeng waved his hand indifferently. Then, he asked out of curiosity, "Is there meat in it? Big pieces of meat. I like big pieces of meat."
"There is meat and that's all I can say right now," Mag answered with a smile, trying to maintain an air of mystery.
"Anything where meat is involved. We're hungry. It's time to eat our breakfast." Habeng was still a little curious, but seeing that Mag didn't want to say much, he refrained from asking.
In fact, it was mainly because he had suddenly felt Amy's stare.
Mag put the money in the drawer. Amy went back to counting the coins behind the counter after she said hi to the customers. She really loved counting coins.
Mag started cooking for them. When Mobai comes back with 1,000 gold coins, I can buy enough ingredients and complete the mission.
Although the flow of time in the test field had been very much slowed down, he still needed time to practice, so he had to wait until night. There was no need to rush.
Breakfast time was relatively not busy. Only two customers came besides Mobai, Conti, and the orc brothers. They were merchants, and had eaten their dinner here last night. They told Mag that they had to leave for the capital of the Roth Empire today and wouldn't be back until after a few months, so they decided to eat the delicious Yangzhou fried rice once more before they left.
The opening hours in the morning were over. Mag was cleaning tables. Mobai came in while Amy was bending over a table doing nothing. He put a bag of coins on the table. "Little owner, here, 80 dragon coins and 200 gold coins," he said to Amy with a smile.
"Really?" Amy'e eyes brightened immediately. She pulled the money bag towards herself with effort and started counting. She separated the dragon coins from the gold coins.
"I'll take my leave then, Mag," Mobai said to Mag.
Mag nodded. "Thank you for the money." He watched Mobai leave, took a glance at Amy, who was counting the coins merrily, and got back to wiping tables.
Amy finished her counting when Mag was done cleaning. "Father, I counted 80 dragon coins and 200 gold coins. No more, no less," Amy said to Mag.
Mag nodded, smiling. "You've done a great job, Amy. Let's put the money in the drawer and recite the 9x9 table[1] again." Amy had almost mastered the 9x9 table after these few days.
"But, Father, I've found a secret. Please don't be upset after you hear it. It seems some money in the drawer has been stolen. We had more when I've counted yesterday, but about half was missing this morning." Amy looked at Mag, a little worried.
Mag was taken by surprise. He hadn't expected that Amy had remembered his income every day, and that she was worried about him being upset after finding out that their money had been stolen. He smiled, and explained, "It was not stolen. We have to buy ingredients to make the fried rice, so some money in the drawer will be spent every day. But we'll have more and more money."
"I see." Amy's smile returned. "Then let's put the money in the drawer and buy a new dish," she said expectantly.
"All right." Mag helped Amy put all the money in the drawer, and then he said in his mind, "I want to buy 3,000 gold coins' worth of ingredients."
"You have bought 3,000 gold coins' worth of ingredients with cash. Mission complete," the system said instantly.
[1] ED/N: Not sure if I've mentioned it or not, but Chinese multiplication table is basically several dozen sentences (40-50 iirc) that describe each equation within. They're all super short in Chinese, so they're easy to learn by heart for Chinese children.


In Chaos City on the Norland Continent, there is a strange restaurant.

Here, elves and dwarves share tables. Beastmen are prohibited from making a din, and giant dragons can only seat around the tiny square in front of the restaurant. Even demons have to bring their own stools…

But it is such a strange restaurant that has long lines outside every day.

Elves are stuffing kebabs, paying no mind to their manners; giant dragons are sitting around a hot pot, strainers in their hands; demons are eating nice-looking dango…

"There's no other place on this continent where you can find food like that! The boss here is a genius!" a customer provides such a review. Then, he gives a furtive look at the door. "Also, don't you think of kidnapping the boss away or dine-and-dashing, or you will suffer a tragic death."

"Eat, pay, or you will be beaten to death." says a cute little girl in her childish voice as she trots forward. A five-meter tall dragon shivers when it meets her eyes.

Walking around the artificial rockery, Fangzheng felt the world in front of him brighten up.
Behind the rockery was a verdant lawn, and behind that, there was a stone house that looked like it came out of a fairy tale. The house was perfectly integrated into nature. The roof was covered with green grass and trees. The circular windows weren't big, and the entire Windhouse resembled a magical world from a fairy tale. Every part of the building had something unique about it. It was really beautiful, and there was a charm to it.
Phelps chose a room. It didn't appear very large from the outside, but it was quite spacious on the inside. It had a long, wide table that could seat more than ten people.
Phelps said generously, "Master, as long as we don't talk shop, you can eat as much as you want. Eat your fill!"
Fangzheng smiled. "In that case, This Penniless Monk will not stand on ceremony. Patron, don't worry. This Penniless Monk doesn't eat meat, only vegetables."
Phelps smiled even more happily. Although Windhouse's vegetarian dishes were expensive, vegetables were just vegetables. No matter how expensive they were, they weren't more expensive than meat. Besides, he knew very well that Chinese monks didn't drink alcohol either. This would save him a huge sum of money.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He appeared to be very pleased. He said to the waiter, "Serve all your vegetarian dishes and let the master taste them!"
"Sure thing, Mr. Phelps." The waiter immediately responded and left.
Phelps leaned back into his chair and said in a rather relaxed manner, "Master, don't hold back when the food arrives. Eat as much as you want."
Fangzheng said, "Thank you, Patron. This Penniless Monk will let loose with the eating."
"Haha, that's the spirit. As for money, don't worry. Actually, I'm a major shareholder of this restaurant. You can eat as much as you want." Phelps laughed.
Fangzheng took a glance at Red Boy who chuckled in return. He instantly understood what Fangzheng meant.
Soon, the dishes were served.
As expected of a high-class restaurant, the plating was very artistic. In the middle of a huge plate, there was a serving that was enough for two to three bites. This was one dish.
Fangzheng, who was from Northeast China, subconsciously pursed his lips when he saw the amount of food. "Patron, in Northeast China, we eat with basins. There's just too little here."
Phelps rolled his eyes at Fangzheng, thinking, "What a lack of class!"
However, he said, "It's good food. You can eat less of every dish but have more variety. That's what true pleasure is. Master, let loose on the food. Although each dish might not be a lot, we have plenty of variety. Eat to your heart's content."
Fangzheng nodded and began eating.
Fangzheng couldn't help but marvel as he took a mouthful of the food. "This taste is truly excellent."
"That's for sure. All the chefs here are top chefs." Phelps laughed.
Although Fangzheng did things in a slow and composed manner, his every move was somewhat Zen-like. Such a monk's actions were indeed beautiful. Even the natural charm within resembled the traditions of the Way of Tea. It was pleasing to the eyes.
But Fangzheng's disciple stopped Phelps from smiling.
Red Boy grasped his chopsticks, and each time Fangzheng took his share of a dish, Red Boy would immediately pick whatever remained. Then, he would open his mouth wide and swallow it all!
Fangzheng looked slow, but his movements weren't slow. Red Boy followed closely behind.
In no time, all thirty-six dishes were finished.
Although each dish didn't have a lot of food, most people would be full from eating thirty-six dishes.
However, the duo didn't seem satiated. Red Boy even licked his lips and said, "Is this the appetizer before the main meal? The serving is a little too small."
Phelps had claimed that they could eat their fill; therefore, he immediately made someone serve more dishes. However, while the dishes were served, Red Boy would sweep right through them. Even when Fangzheng stopped eating, Red Boy continued ravenously, having no intention of stopping.
Towards the end, Phelps couldn't remain calm anymore. He looked at the mountain of plates that were as tall as a person and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He got the waiter to quickly clear the plates and then added, "Increase the quantity served. Fill every plate!"
There was nothing he could do about it. With Red Boy clearing each plate with one mouthful, there was no way the serving of dishes could keep up with the clearing of plates. As the chairman of the Gaia Group, how could he allow an empty table when he was treating someone? Besides, he also understood that the quantity was lacking per dish, and the food was being served too slowly. With Red Boy eating so quickly, he would be able to digest while waiting for new dishes to be served.
Therefore, as a calculative businessman, Phelps's plan was to serve large plates of food and fill him up at once. It would save him money!
Soon after the waiter left, large plates with copious amounts of food were served.
Indeed, Red Boy was clearly taken aback when a large plate of food was served. Only when the table was filled with food did he grin. "There's so many people. I'm a little embarrassed."
Phelps sneered inwardly. Embarrassed? Why didn't I see your embarrassment before? I'm afraid you won't be able to eat anymore, right?
Thus, Phelps said with a smile, "All of you can leave."
The waiters left.
Phelps said to himself, "Let's see how much more you can eat!"
Red Boy smiled bashfully at Phelps when he saw everyone had left. Imagining that Red Boy was afraid, Phelps said with a sinister smile, "Eat. It's not good for children to waste food."
Red Boy said, "Alright, I want to be a good child!"
With that, he opened his mouth.
Phelps's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets! He saw the huge mouth open so wide that the corner of his mouth cracked open all the way to his ears. When Red Boy opened his mouth, half of his head was opening and closing! At the same time, Red Boy grabbed a plate of vegetables and threw the plate into his mouth. Once the mouth closed, crisp cracking sounds could be heard.
But Phelps felt his scalp go numb. His entire body turned cold. This was a problem!
Red Boy ignored the dumbfounded Phelps and stuffed a plate of food into his mouth. In the blink of an eye, the entire table of dishes was finished!
Red Boy patted his belly and revealed his sharp canine teeth at Phelps. He said bashfully, "Patron, I'm not full yet. Where's the food?"
Phelps wiped the sweat off his forehead. He suddenly realized that his little schemes had backfired.
However, at that moment, he had no other choice. He was afraid that he would be eaten by the little demon if he disagreed! Therefore, he hurriedly ordered for more dishes to be served.
As a result, Phelps saw plates being served and disappearing one by one. The child was like a bottomless pit that could never be satiated.
An hour passed, and Red Boy was still eating.
Phelps wiped his sweat.
Two hours later, Red Boy was still eating.
Phelps was about to cry.
Half a day later, a waiter came over and whispered, "Mr. Phelps, we have almost run out of food…"
After wiping the sweat from his head, Phelps looked at Red Boy and said, "Little Venerable One."
When there were outsiders, Red Boy would rest for a moment. When he heard Phelps call out to him, he wore a radiant smile as he looked at him and said, "Patron, I'm not full yet… As you must know, once a person is hungry, they can eat everything."


In the rural northeastern mountainous regions stands a tiny Buddhist temple, named One Finger Temple. It isn't a large one but it is extremely miraculous.

The temple has rice that emanates an aromatic fragrance.

The temple has sweet and refreshing water that rivals ambrosia.

The temple has Buddhas that grant wishes to the sincere.

The temple isn't large but it has everything. The temple isn't large but it has flourishing incense offerings that far exceed all temples. The temple isn't large but it attracts both citizens and foreigners that line up overnight…

The temple has a bald but handsome monk. Every day, he would bawl, "I want to renounce asceticism! I want to marry a chick that's not too pretty, have a cute baby, and lead a stable life!"

This book is a casual novel that introduces various Chinese traditional customs, as well as Buddhist ones. It strives to be a positive book, allowing people to reflect on how they should live their lives and treat others.

Xia Yu took care of the kitchen, two empty plates, and a casserole, on the counter waiting for him to clean up.

    "Oh..." At first

    glance, the two bowls of rice did not move, and Xia Yu could not help but have a black line.

    "So you can eat?" He suspected to look at Anja and Mu Xiaoyue.

    "What do you eat?"

    "I don't want meals, just dishes!" Mu Xiaoyue took a natural tone.

    Xia Yu shrugged, the couple also stood in front of the counter, staring at him.

    Seeing, Xia Yu refers to the menu wall. "Today only do the six dishes, you can't repeat it! Otherwise, don't give money!"

    Mu Xiaoyue pulled the sleeve of the female fan Ren Xue, so the niconico The dance whispered softly: "I want Mapo tofu, hot and sour potato and pineapple."

    "Yes, wait for half an hour." Xia Yuyi glanced at Mu Xiaoyue, "You help me collect it." Money!"

    Then he turned and returned to the kitchen.

    "Yeah"

    Mu Xiaoyue excitedly waved a small fist in the store. "I don't eat rice with wit, otherwise the stomach is definitely full!"

    She touched her half-satisfying stomach and looked at me with a wise look.

    "Sister of the month, give you money--" Ren Xue took out her lady's wallet, three dishes, a total of 8500 baht, she took a five thousand denomination, a two thousand denomination and a thousand The denomination of the banknotes, followed by a five-dollar coin, was put on Mu Xiaoyue's hands, and the delicate consideration of Mu Xiaoyue was not found.

    This time her boyfriend, Shui Gujun, stood by, no temper when she first entered the store, and her eyes were fixed on the closed kitchen. Obviously, she was also looking forward to the next meal. From time to time, the throat rolled and swallowed.

    In less than twenty minutes, Xia Yu put the three dishes out.

    The three-course dish, which is pineapple and minced meat, takes a little time. Pickling and deep-fried are done in the other two dishes of Xia Yu. This time, it is almost a three-line operation, and the materials used are prepared. It's easy to control the rhythm.

    "Take away -"

    put three steaming dishes on the counter, Xia Yu put away the coins that Mu Xiaoyue placed on the countertop, and put them into the small cash drawer in the background.

    "Is this the first bucket of gold?" The

    money is not much, 8500 baht, at least the cost has been earned.

    Xia Yu touched the banknotes in the drawer. The wonderful thing is that money is not as attractive as cooking at this time. He feels that his hands are itchy, and he doesn't care if Mu Xiaoyue is listening. He told her to help the store, again. Going back to the bedroom and entering the kitchen space.

    "Hey, what about people?"

    Mu Xiaoyue saw that the cooking was fast, and it was almost gone on the table. I realized that it was not good. I turned my head and wanted to call four bowls of rice. The counter was without a shadow.

    She can only squat and run into the kitchen herself.

    Fortunately, the food is very good for cooking, a meal, a few mouthfuls of rice, each person ate an average of two bowls, and finally have a full of satisfaction.

    "Ha--" is sitting on the chair without any manner, and the satisfaction of Mu Xiaoyue's face is stunned. "The cooking of the stinky boy seems to have improved. However, these dishes are still not yesterday. The night of the magical Ma Po tofu is delicious, hateful! Damn!"

    "He must have no intention of cooking, really, as the chef should be the best craft, show it!" Mu Xiaoyue wiped the mouth Do not recognize people, full of justice to suppress the tone.

    Anya thought last night that road "magic food", silent, only smile, said: ".. Month, you meet good and bad about it is not the kind of food you can eat with the money, we considered a very lucky"

    smell Words, Mu Xiaoyue nodded.

    "Correct!"

    "I seriously doubt whether the kid wants to entertain his girlfriend's appearance and show off his cooking skills, and we just have it by the way... it is like giving a wild dog to the roadside wild dog!" Months bite your teeth.

    Snapped!

    An Ya's hand knife squatted on the forehead of Mu Xiaoyue's bright face, and said with no expression: "If you eat delicious food, you must know how to thank the chef!"

    Ren Xue listened to his face and reacted. After the reaction, Xiaosheng gave Shui Gujun translation.

    "The young chef, and the better food did not show up?" Shui Gujun opened his mouth and ate six dishes in a row. His bad impression of Chinese cuisine in his mind had been completely reversed and washed.

    If Japanese cuisine is a meticulous piece of art, now in the eyes of Mizutani, Chinese cuisine is a splash of landscape painting, full of freehand and free taste, a variety of ingredients mixed, all kinds of incredible and full of human flavoring seasonings It is finally cooked into a food that makes you feel the ultimate enjoyment.

    Shui Gujun, who likes Japanese food, tastes the opposite of his Shibuya style, very light.

    However, after eating six Chinese dishes of "heavy taste" in a row, Shui Gujun did not feel heavy oil and strange sauces. What made him hate it, it was amazing.

    His girlfriend Ren Xue pulled Mu Xiaoyue, and three women were chatting.

    Mizutani spit out a sigh of relief, sat down, took out his mobile phone and opened Twitter. He sent a tweet:

    "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

    "The work of this Chinese cuisine store is worth the price. On the contrary, with the distant moon Compared with the resorts, fine restaurants and high-end hotels, the price of the dishes is very low. You don't have to use 10,000 baht and three dishes to get the ultimate taste of the tongue. I think I will be a frequent visitor to this store in the future. ..."

    "Finally, what I want to say is-"

    "I love you, real Chinese cuisine!"

    After finishing the tweet, Shui Gujun finally vented his heart's joy and complex emotions.

    At this time, looking back, Shui Gujun instantly felt that the boulder between him and his girlfriend had quietly moved away. Cultural barriers are not unsolved. Now he is also captured by authentic Chinese cuisine. Isn't the food taste of the two people close to each other?

    Thinking, the mouth of the water valley Jun mouth has a sweet smile. Four years of past experience are in sight, and perhaps soon after graduation, they will board the sacred marriage hall.

    Xia Yu did not know his own food, and untied the heart of Shui Gujun, otherwise he must wear the cloak of the big FFF group, holding the torch and shouting the slogan of burning.

    After the tweet was sent, niconico sang in the circle and talked a lot. Many friends came to ask. Asked a lot, Shuigu Jun simply sent a tweet, detailing the address of the Xia cuisine store:

    "Tokyo, Taito, Ueno Station, Ami Yokocho Old Street 7-16."

    "This is not an advertisement, no It involves any commercial interest. And, I guarantee in my own name, the food there is absolutely worth the money!"

    Another advertisement.

    It is also a spontaneous propaganda that explains what a water army is called tap water.

    However, this time Xia Yu did not know his own shop, gradually spread between a group of UPnico and fans of niconico.

    Xia Yu, who is struggling in the kitchen space, began the practice of the next week's menu.

As the story progresses I will try to integrate more.

 Boiled dumplings with eggs and Chinese chives were a common food for Chinese people. Even the frozen ones bought from the supermarket were delicious. As he was chewing the dumplings in his mouth, Qin Guan heard a percussion from the stage.
 The attention of the guests was attracted by the sound.
 Dang, dang, dang,...
 "Leaving Hongdong Town, Su San walked along the street..." [1]
 Qin Guan spit his food out. Cong Nianwei, who was peeling garlic across from him, calmly pulled her plate back.
 Are you kidding? It’s despondent to sing such a sad song during dinner.
 Even more ridiculous things followed.
 There was a hurried percussion sound before a monkey suddenly jumped out. [2]
 "Elder sister, don’t worry! I’m coming!"
 The Monkey King performed a series of backward somersaults backstage. All the American customers looked excited. They cheered and applauded, forgetting about the food on their tables.
 The Monkey King's appearance was expected. Anyone studying about the Peking Opera would have clapped. It was a pity that he was in the wrong play.
 Who had taught them this? [3]
 An intact garlic was lying in Cong Nianwei's hand. She blinked and put the garlic in Qin Guan's bowl. Qin Guan had gotten absorbed in the performance, so he was paying no attention to her.
 After several backward somersaults, the monkey walked up to Su San with his golden stick.
 "You b*tch! You killed my brother! You should pay back!" [4]
 Qin Guan’s chopsticks fell on the table. Am I dreaming?
 "Spare my life, uncle! It was Wu Dalang who originally..."
 Sister, you just called yourself Su San. Why did you change your name from Pan Jinlian? What is this? A combination of traditional operas?
 Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei stopped eating for fear that they would choke on their dumplings.
 They were curious about what the monkey would do next. According to common sense, the martial arts part had to follow. The monkey would play with his famous stick and hit Pan Jinlian, or Su San, on the head.
 The Monkey King moved. The stick was rotating like a wind wheel in his hand before it took flight. It danced in the air like a golden flower and then landed on Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei's table.
 "Careful!" Qin Guan yelled, shielding Cong Nianwei's head.
 In an instant, water and dumplings splashed out in all directions. Their plates and chopsticks fell on the floor with a loud sound.
 "Thank god the soup was warm, and not hot!" If the soup had been boiling hot, Qin Guan would have gotten burned.
 He let Cong Nianwei go and spat the dirt out. It had been an accident.
 The monkey on the stage was confounded, but the audience was laughing happily. They all applauded Qin Guan. "Good, very good!"
 Are they praising me?
 The monkey ran up to Qin Guan with a bitter expression. "Qin Guan? Is that you?"
 "Who are you?" Qin Guan picked a dumpling off his hair angrily. There go my hard-earned dollars...
 "It's me, Xu Xiaoxiao!"
 What? The obsequious boy? Are you kidding me?
 The two of them were classmates. Qin Guan calmed down. "Do you work here?" he asked Xu sympathetically. What a hard job!
 Xu sniffed as he watched Cong Nianwei clean Qin Guan's face with a handkerchief. Finally, he noticed Qin Guan’s real face.
 Oh, my! Words can’t express my feelings.
 Reality had exceeded his imagination. Students at Columbia University were considered the most modest among Ivy League Universities. That guy was too modest in Xu's opinion though. He had heard about the mysterious, ancient skill of disguising in China.
 Although he had been born and raised in the US, Xu admired Chinese culture a lot. His family had lived in Chinatown for hundreds of years and worshipped traditional Chinese culture the most.
 Xu showed off to Qin Guan proudly. "No, this is my family’s restaurant. I direct the performance. Isn’t it perfect?"
 Both Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei smiled kindly at him.
 Xu waved his stick at the stage and the percussion resumed.
 "People say that bright, beautiful flowers will bloom in Luoyang, but this is no spring before my eyes..." It was an authentic Peking opera.
 "My grandpa will celebrate his 68th birthday and all my family members will gather in New York. We’ll play an opera during the party. As his grandson, I have to perform on stage. I have to dress up in motley attire to amuse my parents."
 "So you’re practising here? How is it going?"
 Xu looked down gloomily. "I’m too busy with courses. I have no time to practise. Besides, there are few opera actors in New York. Nobody has agreed to teach me."
 Qin Guan and Cong Nianwei exchanged a glance. He's a devoted, but unlucky boy.


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

I pad back out to one of the two chests of drawers I had made in Tunisia. Pulling open the first drawer, I find three neat piles of boxer shorts, in black, white and grey, all Guchi and Ralph Lauren. All look was brand new.
I continue my way to the next drawer, which finding dress socks. Does he have them ironed? I open another to discover belts, all coiled neatly, in every shade of black and brown leather you could imagine.
He's a neat freak. 
Oh, this is bad news! I'm shockingly untidy at my home. I shut the drawer, opening the last one, but all I find are sports socks and various caps. I proceed to open every drawer on the other chest and all occupied with an array of running shorts and vests. Giving up and with my towel still wrapped around me, I make my way downstairs to the kitchen, finding Feng Teng with his head in the fridge.
"I can't find my stuff," I inform the fridge door.
His head pops up from behind the fridge, his eyes running up and down my towel-clad body.
"I'll take naked," he says, shutting the door and sauntering over to me with a jar of peanut butter.
" The housekeeper off today and the fridge is empty. I'll order in, what do you fancy?"
"You," I grin.
He smiles, reaches forward and whips the towel off, throwing it to the side and running his appreciative gaze down my naked body
"Your Knight needs to feed his queen." He flashes his dancing eyes to mine.
"The rest of your stuff is in that great big wooden truck that you had dumped in my bedroom. What would you like to eat?" He informs.
I ignore him and shrug. Actually, I could eat anything as long it edible.
"I'm easy."
"I know, but what do you want to eat?" He asks again.
I must stop saying that.
"I'm only easy with you," I grumble.
Does he think I'm easy?
"Wei Lin. Now, tell me, what do you want to eat?" He asks again.
"I like anything, you choose. What time is it, anyway?" I've lost all concept of time.
In fact, I lose all concept of everything, every time I'm with him.
"Eight, go and dry your hair before I abandon dinner and take you again." He turns me around, smacking my backside to send me on my way.
I take my naked body back up the stairs to fulfil his instructions. When I reach the top and take a left to the Master Suite, I glance down and see Feng Teng stood by the archway to the kitchen, and quietly watching me.
Then, I blow him a kiss as I disappear into the bedroom, just catching a glimpse of his knee-trembling smile as he vanishes from my view.
Half an hour later, I'm done dried my hair. I've cleansed, toned and moisturised, and I've even got a clean set of lace underwear on. Almost all my stuff here but still I couldn't find my most comfortable sleepwear here, P.Y.J.A.M.A.S.
Gosh, does SiSi forgot to put it in or what?
I can't believe SiSi my bestie has becoming Feng Teng alliance to move me here. If not how almost everything of my stuff here, I bet just a few things left there.
Huh, Feng Teng is an impossible man to deal with.
So since there no traces my pyjamas here, I just ambush Feng Teng huge wardrobe and grab his white shirt. But this time I don't pick the most expensive one, although I'm sure they're all pretty costly. 
"I was just coming to find you." He pauses from forking various dishes onto two plates. 
"Mhmm...like your shirt, sexy. " He approved. 
" SiSi didn't pack me, my pyjamas even slobby clothes," I complain.
"She didn't?" He raises an eyebrow, and I snap, I know instantly, SiSi did pack my pyjamas and slobby clothes since almost everything of my stuff here but just that didn't have here.
 I suspect someone might intercept with it.
"Darling. Where do you want to eat?"
"I'm e…" I snap my mouth shut on a shrug.
"Only for me, yes?" He grins, shoving a bottle of water under his arm and picking up the plates. "We'll slum it on the couch." He leads me into the colossal open space and nods at the gigantic sofa. I sit in the corner section, accepting the plate he hands me. 
It smells delicious and it's Chinese. 
Perfecto.
The doors on the massive television cabinet start sliding across, revealing the biggest, frameless, flat screen T.V I've ever laid my eyes on.
"Do you want to watch television or would you prefer music and conversation?" He looks at me on a small smile. 
My fork is hanging out of my mouth. I didn't realise how hungry I was.
I chew and swallow as soon as I can. 
" Music plus conversation, please." That was an easy choice. 
He nods like he knew that would be my answer, and the next thing I know, the room is swamped in the calming tones of JJ Lin.
 This is a surprisingly comfortable dinner ever. I cross my legs and sit back. I made a good choice with this couch.
"Yummy?" He asks.
I glance over and find him facing me, one knee up and his arm resting on the back of the sofa holding his plate.
"Very, you don't cook?" I ask.
" Yeah, I don't." He answers flatly.
I smile around my fork.
"Why though? Oh, is that something you don't do well?" I came to a conclusion.
" Lol. My queen, I'm not that perfect as you always thought," he says, completely straight-faced, and his eyes studying me closely. 
He really is an over-confident bastard!
" Housekeeper did?" I ask.
"If I ask her to, but most of the time I eat at The Mansion." He says.
I suppose it makes sense that he'd take advantage of the lovely food at his disposal. I know I would. 
"Oh. Mhmm. Let me ask something. When are you going to reveal me your age?" I ask in a serious tone.
He pauses with his fork midway to his mouth.
"Twenty-iish," He takes his forkful of food, watching me as he chews.
"Iiiish?" I mouth.
"Yes,iish," A smile plays on the corners of his lips.
I return to my food, not in the least bit bothered by his vague answer. Because if asking, he'll keep evading. 
Maybe I should try with my own lurking and tempting of persuasion or detective crime interrogation like in the tv dramas? 
Haaa, or strip him naked and cuff him on the bed or shoot a gun directly to him when he comes toward the bed like the scene from the late-night drama show, FO YE and XIN YUE from Mystic Nine on their wedding night. 
Hahaha....I can believe I imagining those dramas scene.
UNBELIEVABLE
 I drift into musing over exactly what I could do at that time, between mouthfuls of my Chinese dinner. I can think plenty of it, but I don't think could carry out with success.
Because  I believe he'd overpower me, very, very easily. There might get a turntable as the countdown is off the menu, so it's a truth make out then. 
Grhhh. What should I do if my plan fails?

A cuisine's enticing smell instantly covered the room the moment the plate's lid was removed. This appetizing smell could easily make one salivate.
They had just taken a whiff of the dish's aromatic smell and turned to look at the plate when the other plates of exquisite Chinese cuisines were presented before them.
"This…" Zhang Manhua looked at the dishes in shock and said with uncertainty, "I think you've delivered this food to the wrong place…"
"Madam Zhang, we didn't deliver wrongly. All these are indeed for you and your daughter, Miss Pei." The man wearing white, who seemed to be the chef and the person in charge, told Zhang Manhua respectfully.
She was totally dumbfounded when the man accurately pointed out their surnames and even their relationship.
My daughter and I haven't even had the time to order a meal. What in the world is going on? Could this be treatment for the occupant of a VVIP room?
She eyed the crowd in confusion and asked, "Is this from the hospital?"
"No, these are ordered for you by Mr. Ji." The person in charge replied as he signaled the people behind him to place the dishes on the dining table in the ward.
"Mr. Ji? Could it be Xiao Ji?" Stunned and uncertain, she turned to look at her daughter, who was standing at one side.
Pei Ge only nodded helplessly. "It is mostly likely CEO Ji."
Except for that man who was a picky eater, no one else she knew would make such a huge ruckus about something as simple as sending food.
"Xiao Ji's service is too thorough when we have no relation to him. Not only did he help you look for a ward for me, he even sent us this sumptuous lunch." Her mother's suspicion was provoked again.
She was really made speechless when she again felt her mother's suspicious look on her.
That man has really outdone himself this time. The two of us don't even have such an intimate relationship.
All he's doing is make my mom suspicious of us!
"Perhaps, it's because… he likes you more." Pei Ge blinked and weaved another lie.
"Pfft! Xiao Ji likes me?" Zhang Manhua was entertained by her daughter's words.
"That's right! He told me before that you are very similar to his mother." After that first lie, the succeeding lies all became easier to deliver.
"Is that so? I thought Xiao Ji had taken a liking to our little girl here," Zhang Manhua teased with a grin.
Pei Ge reflexively refuted, "That's not possible at all! How can he possibly like me?"
She shook her head lightly at her daughter's reaction.
"How is it not possible? My daughter is such a good catch."
"Mom, stop talking nonsense. It's not possible for CEO Ji to like me," she denied vehemently with pursed lips.
Zhang Manhua frowned lightly at this, feeling heartache for her daughter.
Ever since her husband passed away and their family experienced such an upheaval, her adorable and confident daughter had somehow developed an inferiority complex.
Also, after going through that relationship with Zhou Zhuoyang, while she seemed fine on the surface, it was apparent that that event had left an emotional scar on her heart and made her feel all the more inferior and extra timid.
"Sigh… Ge Ge, you should know that you are not worse than anyone else out there. Rather, you are much better and much more beautiful than anyone else." Fondly looking at her daughter, she held her hands in hers.
Warmth slowly flooded Pei Ge's heart at her mother's words, but she continued to remain mum.
"Madam Zhang, Miss Pei, your lunch is ready. Would you like for us to stay around and assist as you have your meal?"
The person in charge spoke with utmost respect as the pair of mother and daughter was having a heart-to-heart talk.
Zhang Manhua quickly shook her head at the man's suggestion. "No need; we can just eat by ourselves. Thank you so much."
"This is part of our job." The man gave her a polite smile. "Then, Madam Zhang, Miss Pei, we will be taking our leave now."
"Alright, alright. Sorry to trouble you all. Thank you!" Zhang Manhua smilingly nodded her head.
The group left in the same way that they had come – quick and orderly.
Once the huge crowd was gone, the two made their way to the dining area from the ward's bedroom.
The dishes were in separate plates earlier, and after being arranged on the dining table, they now looked more inviting to the eyes.
Zhang Manhua observed the table of delectable food and involuntarily sighed in exasperation. "This Xiao Ji is really very thoughtful. He actually helped us order lunch."
"Mhm." Pei Ge glanced at the food-laden table and realized with a start that, although the dishes looked exquisite, they were in fact homemade food.
In fact, most of the cuisines were her favorites.
"The only thing he did not do well is order too much. There are just two of us, so we definitely won't be able to finish all of this food." Zhang Manhua eyed the table full of dishes in regret.
A light smile blossomed on Pei Ge's lips as she continued to take in the food-laden table.
This is indeed that annoying fellow's doing.
"Mom, let's stop talking now and just quickly eat. The food will turn cold soon." She pulled her mother to take a seat at the table.
Zhang Manhua smilingly acquiesced with a nod.
She had thought that the dishes were just normal homemade food, except that they were made to look beautiful, but with that first bite, her eyes widened in surprise.
"My gosh! This fish is so tender! It doesn't have a bone at all!" she exclaimed.
Pei Ge secretly laughed at her mother's reaction.
She had already seen through this food from the very start.
That annoying fellow is truly very picky with food. It is as Sister Yun has said before; their young master only eats the best and the freshest ingredients.
While all these dishes seem normal, they are not that at all!
Hm… This isn't right. When that annoying fellow was also confined at the hospital, how was he able to swallow my cooking?


After a series of life-changing events, Pei Ge decides to start anew and rediscover her place in this world. She gets a new job, new friends and… a new boss whom she mistakes as a male host!

He helps her to get revenge on a back-stabbing friend, supports her when it seems that the world has given up on her, encourages her to be more confident about herself and even… messes up her blind dates!

With her strong working abilities and fiery attitude, she manages to climb up the ranks in the company (under the devious scheme of a certain CEO) and even gains a fan girl who can’t wait to be her sister-in-law.

As Pei Ge navigates through the ups and downs of office politics, family drama, finding her right partner and societal expectations, she realizes that things are not as simple as it seemed and everything she had believed in is tested…

The Big Misunderstanding:

“You asshole! Why didn’t you use protection?! I’m pregnant!”
“…It’s not mine.”
“Asshole! You actually dare to not admit it?! I gave all my firsts to you! You jerk!”
…
At the gynecologist, she read her pregnancy lab report and was stunned: Irregular period.
The man raised an eyebrow and smirked, “Didn’t you make a ruckus about being pregnant with my child? Where is the child?!”
“…” Who is scared of who? Let’s make a bet!
