"Yang Yichen, who did you learn from? How are you so amazing?" She had nearly thirty years of life experience across two lifetimes and had cooked often enough to barely manage chopping vegetables.
Yet, Yang Yichen, a boy, wielded the kitchen knife with such fluidity that his slender fingers seemed to leave only traces in her eyes. When he stopped, the table was filled with an array of dishes.
Yang Yichen remained silent. Anyone would feel this way when praised by a girl they liked. Reflecting on his past, those days filled with danger and darkness suddenly didn’t seem so frightening anymore.
Without the training from before, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to showcase his skills in front of the girl he adored.
"Put this in; it will enhance the mushroom flavor," Liu Qingxi said as she handed him the washed mushrooms.
Unlike others' astonishment, Yang Yichen calmly accepted them, sliced them in half, and cut them into thin strips.
It was as if he had done this a thousand times before. Strangely, Liu Qingxi felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity.
Yes, unlike her previous understanding, it seemed that Yang Yichen, being from ancient times, had an exceptionally strong capacity for learning. The things he brought out never piqued her curiosity—like hot pot or mushrooms that people of this era didn’t consume.
There were also some peculiar items that, while different from modern ones, shared a similar essence.
Could there really be hope? Her previously dormant heart reignited with optimism.
She just didn’t want to recklessly bring it up and waited for the right moment.
Half an hour later, the chicken was tender and delicious. As she picked up a piece with her chopsticks, the meat separated perfectly from the bone, releasing waves of aroma along with the mushroom's freshness.
"It smells so good!" Liu Qingxi nostalgically recalled this flavor. This season was rainy; mushrooms should be abundant. It seemed she could enjoy them often in the future.
Eagerly grabbing a piece, she blew on it a few times and hurriedly brought it to her mouth. Taking a bite confirmed its deliciousness beyond her expectations.
"So tasty! But it's hot!" Liu Qingxi exclaimed between bites, enjoying the flavors while also noting the heat.
Yang Yichen smiled lightly, patting her head, "Don't rush, take your time eating, it's all yours."
Liu Qingxi stopped chewing, the warm sensation still lingering on her head. Such a forceful head pat was simply overwhelming!
I can't take it anymore, I'm lost in this! Liu Qingxi scolded herself for being so weak. Should it really be like this?
"You eat too!" She picked up a piece and brought it to Yang Yichen's mouth.
The boy slightly opened his mouth, took a bite, and the curve of his smile was simply enchanting.
The two of them were like young lovers, wiping sweat off each other, feeding each other, sharing smiles that spoke volumes without words.
Outside the door, Wen Family was about to enter when they happened to see Liu Qingxi feeding their son. That usually cold boy was actually eating—yes, he was eating!
What was even more surprising was that he was feeding Liu Qingxi as well.
Just as she was about to cough and announce her presence, she quickly held back, afraid of disturbing the sweet moment between the two. Quietly, she slipped away when they weren't paying attention.
She emphasized to the servants not to enter: "No one can speak of today’s events. If anyone lets anything slip, they'll be sold off. The Yang Family won't keep anyone who betrays us!"
"Rest assured, Madam, we wouldn't dare!"
After giving them a good talking-to, Wen Family happily returned to her room. This silly son had finally come to his senses. If he could just give her a grandchild later on while she looked after him, life would be wonderful.
However, the matter between the two children must not get out—it absolutely must not—otherwise Liu Qingxi's reputation would be ruined unless they officially became engaged.
"Hey? That's not a bad idea. Why not set it down first?" Such a capable daughter-in-law would be hard to come by again.
In love, Youth has no idea that the Wen Family has already put their marriage plans on the agenda, eager to become part of the Yang Family right now.
After the sweetness, returning to the main topic, Liu Qingxi calms herself down. Being with someone she likes makes her unconsciously lose herself and constantly think about the other person.
It's her first love in this life and the last, surrounded by pink bubbles.
“Yang Yichen, the restaurant is currently overcrowded. Should we renovate? I’ve thought about this; we can build the house taller, from the first floor to the sixth floor, catering to different guests. The varying identities and statuses will correspond to different floors, making the number of floors a symbol of status.”
“Your idea makes sense, but our building can’t be that tall; at most, it’s three stories. How do you plan to achieve this?”
“Don’t worry about that; I’ve already figured out how to do it. We can start anytime. There’s also the issue with the Construction Team.” She couldn’t just remain stagnant.
Times are progressing, and people must advance and strive; one cannot be content with a stable modern life.
More importantly, years of experience in the modern construction industry have taught her not to let these techniques fade away and not to waste her opportunity to live again.
This is her first time proposing a taller building; strictly speaking, it hardly qualifies as high-rise.
According to modern definitions of architecture, a building must be over twenty stories to be considered high-rise.
What she refers to now is merely constructing a masonry structure a bit taller.
If the material is Mud Brick, achieving six stories is impossible; however, if it’s Azure Brick, it’s not an issue at all.
“First, the foundation must be deeper. When laying bricks, make them thicker. During construction, set pillars at each corner and use layers of high-strength solid wood boards instead of ordinary flooring on top.”
The girl speaks with expertise, her confidence shining through as she passionately describes her ideas, feeling very happy and fulfilled.
Yang Yichen listened attentively to the girl's explanation, occasionally offering suggestions or nodding in agreement to show that he was paying close attention.
In the end, Liu Qingxi said, "Are you even capable? I've put a lot of thought into this."
Before confirming her relationship with Yang Yichen, she was used to making all the decisions herself. But now?
She found herself unconsciously sharing her thoughts and discussing better solutions with Yang, and now there was someone else making decisions for her.
Indeed, there is a difference between being cherished and being alone.
Yang Yichen expressed his viewpoint at last: "I agree with your approach. The tavern in our town will be under your management; you can make the decisions."
"If you need more hands, just let me know, and I'll send people over."
Although Yang Yichen found Liu Qingxi's creative ideas strange, he didn't think they were odd; rather, he felt they were quite natural.
"Alright, it's settled then! I'll make arrangements when I get back and start preparing right away!"
She couldn't wait to showcase her abilities.
Little did she know that the stronger one becomes, the tougher the opponents they face. Even knowing that the future would be filled with challenges and obstacles, Liu Qingxi was still willing to strive for her dreams and fight for them!
