Chapter 59

—[I would rather eat a burger from a certain Kaifeng dish rather than eat that sandwich…]

—[Is she trying to compete with the Vase Fairy? Although the Vase Fairy is annoying, at least her food looks appetizing. This Qin Wanyan’s skills tho emmm…]

Director Chen had been staring at his phone the entire time, reading the netizens’ comments. He couldn’t understand it.

Someone, in particular, had posted: [Next door at “Two Under One Roof”, they’re starting to fry the milk! Friends, I will take off first!]

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

The number of viewers in the stream began to decline noticeably.

Director Chen stared in disbelief.

How did it end up like this?!

He opened the stream for “Two Under One Roof”. The stream had just begun, but the number of viewers was no less than “Heartbeat”.

Director Chen felt his heart skip a beat. He had underestimated the popularity of this show.

The milk curds had been prepared in advance. Mixing cornflour with fresh milk, salt and sugar to taste, it had been boiled over a slow fire before it was placed in the refrigerator to freeze.

The girl was once again in natural makeup with a calm expression. It was as if all the noise in the world couldn’t sway her from concentrating on the ingredients in front of her.

The delicate white milk curds were dipped in flour, baking powder, yeast, and MSG. It formed a beautiful parabola as it was dropped into the fryer, happily swimming through the oil.

Xiang Yi’s actions were swift, and soon, she had fried an entire pot. After scooping them out, she garnished it with some white sugar.

Li Jianyu picked up one and, in mutual understanding, the cameraman approached to do a closeup take of the fried milk.

The surface of the milk was a light yellow, and it was exquisitely crunchy. It came apart with a ‘crunch’. The custard inside was smooth and soft, and if you squeezed the crispy crust with your hands a few times, the custard would slightly sway like jello.

The comments:

—[Ah ah ah I want some!!!]

—[I can smell the goodness through the screen]

—[The custard is so cute, why would you squeeze it!]

—[She only fried one plate? This milk lover could eat an entire bucket by themselves!]

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, the first thing Yan Nai did was visit the kitchen.

The young boy’s hair had been ruffled all night and looked like a messy bird’s nest.

He approached Xiang Yi. “Big Sister, is it done?”

Xiang Yi blocked the camera for him. “Children with messy hair are not allowed at breakfast.”

During yesterday’s chat, Director Yan had revealed the news that he had wanted Yan Nai to debut in the entertainment industry. She didn’t care about her appearances, but her beautiful little brother had to watch his image in front of the camera to avoid having his photos exploited for suspicious purposes.

Yan Nai paused for a moment and shyly shook his head. “I… I don’t know how to style hair. Yesterday, the gege from the hairdressers styled my hair for me.”

Xiang Yi thought for a moment. “Go find Ah Nan, he’s pretty good with hair.”

“Oh, okay.”

“Wait.”

“Hmm?”

Yan Nai turned around to a piece of fried milk being stuffed into his mouth. The gentle voice of the girl coaxed:

“Children who behave will be rewarded.”

Slurp—

Yan Nai forgot how to chew as a flush of crimson spread from the tip of his ears to his neck.

‘She fed me…’

‘Does she li…like me…’

The young boy felt his brain become overwhelmed by his heartbeat and flushing cheeks. Hurriedly, he scurried out of the kitchen, bumping into a slender figure.

It was Shi Sui.

He was wearing a casual and sporty outfit today, dressed in a white sweater and blue jeans, looking as fresh and clean as a student still in school.

“Watch where you’re going,” he warned.

Yan Nai looked around, and seeing that there were no cameramen around, he cautiously whispered, delighted:

“Uncle, the big sister fed me food!”
