Chapter 30 The competition had just begun, and Xi Mi was already caught in a dilemma. Without salt and sugar, she had lost two essential flavors. The other contestants were already racing against the clock, diving into their cooking. Only Xi Mi stood frozen before her simple cooking station, her mind completely blank, unable to move. The host held the microphone to her lips. "You got the best ingredients, but you're missing sugar and salt. What food are you planning to make?" Xi Mi glanced at…- 106.4 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 31 Outside the window, a bolt of lightning cleaved the dark sky in two, and the torrential rain that was a few days late finally poured down. A thunderclap exploded in Xi Mi's ears, leaving them buzzing. She lifted her chin in shock. Her pale face made Ying Quhe's heart twist with pain. Distressed for her, he pulled her head into his chest, rubbing the back of her head with his large hand to comfort her. The man's solid chest provided an overwhelming sense of security. Feeling the warmth…

- Chapter 32 Outside the French windows, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The garden plants were whipped about by the wind, with no sign of the torrential rain letting up. Snot and tears covered his shoulder as the little girl's sobs gradually faded, and she fell asleep in his arms. Ying Quhe lowered his head with a slight smile. He stroked the back of her head with his large hand, his palm brushing across her cheek. Sensing her burning temperature rising rather than dropping, he realized things…

- Chapter 33 "You're still young. Making it to the top three in this competition is already a huge success. Your profile has risen because of this match. Even if you finish last in the Chef King Championship, it won't tarnish the honor of defeating all those top chefs along the way. Plenty of hotels and restaurants will be looking to sign you afterward. So no matter how this match turns out, you've already achieved your goal." Ying Quhe stroked her head, just as he did with Ulrica. For a moment, Xi Mi…

- Chapter 34 "You're only nineteen?" Those words threw Xi Mi into a panic and turned Ying Quhe's expression dark. As he handed back the documents, his hands trembled violently. A wave of immense shock attacked his brain from all sides, leaving his mind completely blank as he walked out like a living corpse. With a wooden expression, he put on his shoes, tied his necktie, grabbed his keys, and opened the door... Xi Mi clutched her ID card and ran after him. Staring at the back of his head, she…

- Chapter 35 Ying Quhe paused briefly on the other end of the line, his speech slowing down. "There are some things we should clear up once you get back." Xi Mi set her bowl on the floor and clutched her phone back in her hand. The battery was below ten percent, flashing red. She asked, "Did you just say... you miss me?" "Mm." A single word, heavy as a boulder, weighed on Ying Quhe's heart and left Xi Mi completely reeling. "My battery's almost dead, wait for me a second." Panic over her dying…

- Chapter 36 Outside the wooden house, the wind howled, rattling the windows with a clatter. The wind blew in, and Xi Mi instinctively felt Ying Quhe would be cold. Her arms slowly wrapped around his waist, holding tight. Ying Quhe slid his fingers through her curly hair, gently gathering it, savoring the slow, tender kneading. The hollow in Xi Mi's heart gradually filled with the tenderness of his touch, a sweet, creamy warmth nearly overflowing from her chest. They held each other in silence…

- Chapter 3 Xi Mi had booked a budget room on the ground floor. It didn't have air conditioning, so she slumped over the windowsill with her tongue hanging out from the heat. The window wasn't high; sitting inside, her chin rested right on the sill. Across from her were the inn's luxury suites, standalone little villas equivalent to presidential suites in a five-star hotel. Right outside her window was a flagstone path, which guests staying in those villas had to walk down, passing right by her…
