Chapter 23

Ning Zhiqian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chu Yi start to smile, "That's good."

Chewie still stared at her.

Ning Zhiqian was embarrassed by the staring eyes, remembering the stalwart act of force-feeding a candy just now when her brain was hot, she lowered her head in embarrassment, took the plate of candy and asked, "Do you still want to eat?"

"No." Her voice was low, and Chu Yi also spoke softly, and approached as if she was afraid that she would not be able to hear, "Eat slowly in the future."

Ning Zhiqian was tickled by the breath that brushed her face, and when she raised her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Chu Yi's raised lips.

"Hmm..." Ning Zhiqian realized that the distance between the two of them was so close, she subconsciously backed away.

Chu Yi didn't push her forward, pointing to the herbal juice she drank just now, and said, "That's what it tastes like."

"Really?" Ning Zhiqian was curious, "Why can't I tell the difference?"

She picked up the glass and looked at it, but couldn't see any difference in appearance.Although Chu Yi helped this time, she still hoped that she could truly distinguish the difference between the ingredients, and hesitated whether to try it again.

Suddenly, the crisp sound of jingling bells rang in her ears.

Ning Zhiqian turned her head and saw Chu Yi's hand hanging in mid-air, going around her to get the candy, "Hey, do you want to eat?"

She quickly passed the sugar over.

"No." Chu Yi didn't show any embarrassment, and answered her in a serious tone, "I thought you were going to try it, so I was ready to give you sugar."

"... Puchi." Ning Zhiqian was speechless for a moment when she heard these confident words, and couldn't help laughing.

Chuey laughed along with her, and fed the candy in his hand, "Come."

It's normal to go back and forth, Ning Zhiqian didn't think much about it, she spotted the candy that Chu Yibainen's fingertips were holding, carefully bit a corner and ate it into her mouth, chewed the shell, and tasted the peach blossoming out of it Juice, "Well, peach flavor."

"Mine is orange." Chewie said with a smile, "I'll have to try yours some other day."

Ning Zhiqian nodded, took the notebook and wrote the final result of the experiment on it, "We can start making cakes."

"Zhiqian." Chu Yi still had something to say, "Xiao Lin said, you felt like you were being followed in the parking lot today."

"It's a misunderstanding. The bodyguards have already checked it out. There is no one else in the parking lot except us and our colleagues from the purchasing department." Ning Zhiqian didn't expect Assistant Lin to report to Chu Yi, so she quickly explained.

"Who's in the purchasing department?"

"I don't know." Ning Zhiqian ignored the bodyguard when she heard that she was fine, but when Chu Yi asked her, she realized her carelessness, "Are you worried that someone will be in the purchasing department?"

"Well. Grandma said that she didn't find anyone to follow us. Maybe someone secretly followed her while Grandma was attracting our attention."

Ning Zhiqian pursed her lips, "What should I do next?"

"Look again." Chuy confessed, "I've already told the bodyguards. Next time you feel this way again, just say so, and they will check it out."

Ning Zhiqian nodded, but there was a pimple in her heart. After thinking for a while, she said hesitantly, "Chu Yi, tell me...the person following me might be someone sent by my mother?"

Chu Yi had a dispute with her mother before because of going home to save her, and her mother lost, and the harsh words she scolded had already come out, which added an embarrassing color to this memory.Ning Zhiqian felt awkward thinking about that day, her voice gradually became quieter, and she didn't dare to look at Chu Yi at all—she didn't want Chu Yi to be dragged into the mud by her again, and she didn't know what to do.

"If so," Chuy said in a relaxed tone, "everyone in our family has this bad habit, it really does."

Ning Zhiqian was surprised, "Chu Yi..."

"Don't worry." Chu Yi held her hand and said every word, "I'm here."

Ning Zhiqian smiled and nodded obediently. "Um."

"Is it time to make a cake?" Chuy said, "I can try it for you."

Ning Zhiqian hesitated and said, "I want to take a break."

She deeply remembered what grandma said about "sensitivity of taste", and seeing Chu Yi's uncomfortable expression after drinking herbal juice, she never dared to let Chu Yi try this or that easily.

Chuy took it seriously, "Well, it's time for dinner."

Ning Zhiqian cleaned up the kitchen and accompanied Chu Yi to dinner.After dinner, Chu Yi chatted with her and clarified the oolong incident that grandma was following, "She made an appointment with Joe, and came to see her before coming to the hotel. She had no intention of hiding it, but when she saw us at the door, she Changed my mind."

Ning Zhiqian remembered how she rushed towards Chu Yi in a hurry, felt a little embarrassed, and understood grandma a little bit.However, she tasted Chuy's words and noticed another key point, "Is grandma the special guest Joe mentioned?"

"Yes." Chu Yi said, "She said she was going to the hotel too, she didn't follow her, she just dropped by."

Ning Zhiqian understood, "Why did you cancel the appointment later?"

"I wasn't ready to see you." Chu Yi smiled, "I did it today, but I called the police and arrested me."

Ning Zhiqian also found it interesting to think of the scene of Chu Yi being pinched by her grandma and begging for mercy, "Grandma is not easy."

"What about me?" Chu Yi said in an aggrieved tone, "My ears are red from being pinched."

Of course Ning Zhiqian was concerned, "Really? Let me see..."

Chu Yi took the initiative to comb her hair for her to see, and she also leaned forward to take a closer look.As the distance drew closer, she clearly heard Chu Yi murmur "here", with a soft breath.She suddenly wondered if the distance was too close, and hurriedly glanced at the white and tender ears in front of her, and was attracted by the earrings she gave her, "You're wearing them again."

"Yeah." Chu Yi suddenly turned her eyes, "I like it very much."

The four eyes met, Ning Zhiqian subconsciously lowered her eyes to avoid them, and her eyes just fell on Chu Yi's smiling lips.

The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.

Ning Zhiqian didn't think about what to say next, the sudden doorbell broke the silence.Auntie was washing dishes in the kitchen, and she looked at the doorbell display when she was close. She saw Secretary Fang standing at the gate of the yard carrying something, and turned to ask Chu Yi, "It's Secretary Fang."

"Oh." Chuy sat upright, "Open the door."

Ning Zhiqian also sat down.

Secretary Fang walked in and was not surprised to see them sitting on the sofa together, and said, "Mr. Chu, some materials need a computer, so it's better to go to the study."

This is a euphemism for "talking in private", Ning Zhiqian understood, and said without Chu Yi asking, "I'm going back to my room."

Chuy nodded, "Okay."

They separated, and Ning Zhiqian stayed in the room for a while, feeling that it was a pity that the good vacation was so wasted, changed clothes and went to the kitchen.When she passed the study room, seeing the door was closed, she thought it was a good opportunity: Chu Yi was busy, if she was making cakes now, she wouldn't have to find some reasons to refuse to try it.

Ning Zhiqian made up her mind and rolled up her sleeves to do it.

However, Joe's desserts are not something that can be easily recreated.She's been busy making ugly brownies.

"The color is not pure enough, and the cut surface is ugly." Ning Zhiqian was so ugly by the finished product the first time she tried it.She was expecting the taste to be better, took a sip with a spoon, and frowned at the bitterness of the herbs alone in addition to the sweetness of the cream, and sighed, "The taste is not good..."

Ning Zhiqian had to do it all over again.

The house Chuyi lives in is a small villa. The kitchen on the first floor is divided into two parts. One is the closed Chinese-style kitchen near the dining room, which is equipped with a super range hood and a large stove, and the other is the one used by Ning Zhiqian. Fully equipped but located a little closer to the garage, with a small door leading directly to the bakery kitchen in the yard.In terms of distance, she was far away from Chuy's room, so she didn't worry that her voice would disturb others, An An was at ease stirring the chocolate, and even hummed a ditty with rhythm in order not to get sleepy.

She was singing out of tune when a person appeared at the door, "Zhiqian."

Ning Zhiqian immediately stopped the not-so-pleasant singing voice, and smiled dryly, "Are you done with your work?"

"Well. It's 12 o'clock, aren't you still asleep?"

"Can't sleep." Ning Zhiqian lied, "I'm sorry, did I make too much noise..."

"No." Chu Yi raised the mug in his hand, "I want to find a glass of milk to drink."

Ning Zhiqian put down the things at hand, "I'll help you."

Chuy stopped, "Help me, what should I do with these materials?"

Ning Zhiqian took a look at the chocolate that needed to be temperature controlled, and felt embarrassed.

"Is it ready?" Chu Yi looked at the first-generation failure who was left out in the cold.

Ning Zhiqian shook her head, "This smells wrong."

"Shall I try it for you?"

"No, I think it's really unpalatable, and you definitely can't stand it."

Chu Yi didn't try to be brave, she stared at the chocolate cake thoughtfully, "That's right, how could I bear it."

"What did you say?" Ning Zhiqian couldn't hear clearly, so she leaned forward and asked.

"Do you still want to do it?" Chu Yi asked without answering, "It's very late, and I have to go to work tomorrow."

Ning Zhiqian was not reconciled, "After a long time, I will gradually forget what the chocolate cake tasted like, and it's not easy to have a full vacation for one day, so I want to make it as soon as possible."

"That's right." Chuy nodded, picked up the spoon she used and ate the first-generation failed product.

"Hey?" Ning Zhiqian didn't have time to stop, "Why did you eat?"

Chewie frowned, but still made her opinion clear, "The herbal taste is too strong, the creamy taste is too thick, the sweetness of Joe's is mainly from the syrup, and there is a very slight salty taste in it, you try to add Adjust this direction?"

After hearing this, Ning Zhiqian felt admiration and frowned for a moment, found the candy and handed it over.

Chuy deliberately picked out pink peach candies, and smiled with crooked eyebrows, "So you have this taste."

"Yes." Ning Zhiqian thought Chu Yi was wrong, and communicated according to her own understanding, "This is what I ate this morning."

Chu Yi continued on this topic, "Is what I just said useful?"

"Yes!" Ning Zhiqian found inspiration, "I have an idea. Thank you."

Chuy found a seat and sat down, "I'll accompany you."

"I'm going to do it for a long time." Ning Zhiqian persuaded, "It's late, go back to sleep."

As she said that, she walked over, planning to help Chu Yi up and send her out of the kitchen.

As the distance got closer, Chu Yi pre-emptively made a unique move—stretched out her hand, and tightly circled her to stick to her.

It was the first time for Ning Zhiqian to be hugged like this, and she was stunned, with her hands hanging in the air with no place to put them, and she listened to Chu Yi in her arms saying "no" in a muffled voice.

"I see." Ning Zhiqian compromised, "I've got chocolate and cream on me, it will stain your clothes..."

Chuy let go a little, and smiled at her with her head raised, "No wonder there is a sweet fragrance."

Ning Zhiqian's cheeks felt hot when she heard that, "How could..."

"Okay, let's make the cake." Chuy let go of her hand and straightened her messy clothes, "I'll wait."

"Uh-huh!"

Ning Zhiqian quickly agreed, and ran back to the workbench as fast as she could, and dared to touch her still hot cheek while Chu Yi was not paying attention, and silently sighed:

It's so hard to make a cake.
