The United States, New York, in a villa in the urban area.

A man with a serious face is sitting in the center of the living room. On the table in front of him is a set of elegant tea sets. The light blue porcelain cups have very thin walls, which seem to be able to transmit light at first glance.

The aroma of tea wafted out of the cup. He held the teacup calmly, and after filling the cups in front of the two people opposite him, he raised his elbows slightly, pointed the spout at the cup in front of him, and raised his eyelids after a while. His pale eyes looked in the direction of his student.

The tone was rather cold and he asked:

“I remember that the reason why I agreed with you to go to Huaguo was because you wanted to understand the culinary characteristics of Huaguo.”

When he was talking, he rolled his eyes expressionlessly, and by the way, looked at the extraordinarily flamboyant face next to Ying.

Xie Yi picked up the teacup, raised the corners of his lips, and spoke before Ying could speak:

“Speaking of which, I haven’t discussed with you the reward for helping you train a God of Cookery apprentice.”

Mitchell looked at her without speaking.

After all, there is still a battle between him and Xie Tiao. When I think that my student with excellent aptitude stayed in the other party’s hands for half a year, and then won the championship after participating in the World Food Competition, I feel a little bit of hard work for others. It feels like a wedding dress.

The two stared at each other silently for a while, making Ying next to her a little suffocated.

She had known that the atmosphere between Xie Tiao and her teacher was very strange, she wanted to say something to ease it, but the atmosphere of the two people being pointed at each other did not allow her to intervene in a word.

“If she continued her studies with me, there would be no tie in the food competition.”

Mitchell replied somewhat bluntly.

Xie Tiao nodded obediently: “Yes, then my apprentice will be able to enjoy the title of ‘God of Cookery’ exclusively.”

There was no trace of abducting the self-consciousness of other people’s apprentices in the tone.

Ying and Mitchell: “…”

Ying felt that it would be impossible for a serious person like her teacher to win the bickering with Xie Yi in this lifetime.

Mitchell seemed to have noticed this too, so he closed his mouth, raised his teacup expressionlessly, and decided to drink some tea to calm down.

Ying cleared her throat, and finally found a chance to speak:

“You have a good relationship with my father, so I want to come—”

Mitchell put down his teacup and said in a strange tone: “You want me to help you convince that old-fashioned father of yours?”

Ying nodded.

Although her mother already knew about this and supported their marriage with both hands and feet, her father might not give her blessings.

Freedom in love is one thing, but choosing a spouse to marry is another.

After all, same-sex marriage is not advocated in doctrine, even though the United States has passed this marriage law.

Thinking of this, Ying shook her head from the bottom of her heart.

I thought, in fact, maybe that person didn’t care so much, just thinking about Xie Tie taking her to the cemetery, I always felt that getting the support of both parents was like a ritual that had to be completed, so she also Follow Huaguo’s habits step by step.

Mitchell looked at Xie Tiao expressionlessly, and thought of her attitude just now, and replied with a childish attitude that was completely opposite to his serious expression:

“Don’t think about it.”

Xie Tiao and Ying: “…”

……

After half an hour.

Xie Tiao was basking in the sun outside the villa, as if exposed to the warm sunshine, he could reveal the emptiness in his heart.

After all, before coming here, she had prepared herself mentally. A certain little golden retriever rarely suffered from insomnia for getting married. She also planned to put down a little attitude in front of Mitchell. After all, she wanted something from others.

However, after meeting in person——

Xie Tiao found out that he really didn’t fit in with this kind of character.

Seeing Mitchell’s attitude, she wanted to be angry, and couldn’t control herself at all.

After strolling around outside, feeling the strange aura in his heart subside, Xie Tiao decided to give himself another chance.

She walked into the white villa, and heard a smooth but somewhat cold voice from the living room:

“I have known Xie for many years. She is a very reliable person, whether in this field or in daily life.”

Xie Tiao stood still, raised his hand and touched his ears, suspecting that he had heard wrong.

In the next second, Mitchell answered again:

“Although I don’t quite match her personality, this does not hinder my evaluation of her. Ying and her are very suitable.”

Mitchell didn’t know that his words had been heard by the Lord, but he calmly expressed a few personal opinions on Ying’s marriage with his friend.

Sitting opposite him was a person whose style was almost the same as his. The gray suit brought out the seemingly unapproachable temperament of that person. It was hard to imagine what kind of style his wife would be, and it was only then that she cultivated a character like Ying. .

“The God of Cookery, Xie Tiao, I’ve heard of this name before.”

The man didn’t move the teacup in front of him, but just said this lightly.

Mitchell replied calmly: “That was before, now God of Cookery is your daughter.”

The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds before the middle-aged man sitting opposite Mitchell nodded slightly. He got up and subconsciously adjusted the position of the suit cuffs and tie, and said:

“I see, if she insists on getting married, I will respect her choice.”

“If you want to hold a wedding, let her remember to send me an invitation in advance, and I will try to spare time to attend.”

Ming Mingying is also in the same villa, but he would rather communicate in this way.

After finishing speaking, he came straight to the door, as if he didn’t have a cup of tea with his friends, but came to attend a business meeting in a hurry.

There was only one road leading to the gate, so it was inevitable to meet Xie Tao face to face. He nodded to Xie Tao as a greeting, and it seemed that he was planning to continue walking forward without stopping.

However, he stopped suddenly.

It seemed that he realized who this person was.

He turned sideways and stood there straight, the indifference in his eyes was stronger than that of Mitchell:

“Nice to meet you.”

Xie Tiao thought to himself that if it wasn’t for her father, he would have choked back.

However, at this moment, she could only smile with the same smile as usual, and said, “Me too.”

“The relationship between her and me is not very good. I said that she might not take it seriously, but I still hope that you can take care of each other in the future.”

Xie Yi nodded: “Of course.”

So the man let go of his heart, turned and walked out of the gate.

Until he left, Ying came out from nowhere, leaned against the wall and asked lazily: “He left?”

Xie Tiao stared at the figure of the legendary father-in-law for a long while, and when he looked back, he had a half-smile: “Why do I feel like you haven’t told me anything?”

What I told her before receiving the certificate was that her parents would not object.

However, after coming to the United States, the words changed. Although my father was a bit troublesome, if there was Mitchell, it would be easy to deal with.

But Xie Tiao always felt that something was not right.

Ying shrugged, and there was a bit of innocence in the blue eyes:

“He travels all over the world all year round, busy with business, how can he have time to supervise me?”

After she finished speaking, she said again slowly: “Besides, I’m not his biological daughter, and his teachings can’t control me.”

She seldom mentioned this matter to others, when Xie Tiao heard it suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, and then for some reason, he couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Ying leaned against the wall with her arms folded, and when she saw her smile, her lips curled up.

For a moment, I actually found a little bit of sympathy from the other party.

One is that he lost his parents in his early years, and the other is that his mother remarried.

So when two people who stayed in this world met, no wonder they also had a very high compatibility.

……

After coming out of Mitchell’s house, Ying and Xie Tiao walked slowly along the winding mountain road outside the villa, and suddenly asked:

“Did you hear what the teacher said?”

Xie Tiao showed a lazy smile, but the mole at the end of her eye showed her style for no reason, she replied slowly:

“For the sake of his honesty, I decided to choke him less next time.”

honest……?

Ying recalled it for a while, and felt that Xie Tiao’s ability to boast with a brash air when he praised others was indeed a skill.

She silently lit a candle for her teacher from the bottom of her heart, and then directly stood in Xie Tiao’s camp, echoing:

“Ah.”

Xie Tiao squinted at her, raised his eyebrows, as if he was very satisfied with her attitude, and even nodded slightly, raised his hand to hook Ying’s chin.

“So nice.”

Ying: “…”

The piece of skin that Xie Liao lightly touched now seems to have been scratched by a cat’s tail, which makes people feel some much-desired itch, which makes the bottom of my heart arouse.

She felt that a Xie goblin might have done it on purpose.

Ying raised her hand to hook Xie Tiao over, but her arms were empty. Xie Tiao avoided her movement, but did not avoid her next one——

“Hey!”

Ying hugged her from behind, with half of her body weight on her body, Xie Tiao seemed to be walking forward with someone on her back, so he had to remind the little friend.

“Walk well.”

However, a girl with blond hair didn’t seem to have heard of it. The long hair beside her ear was pressed on Xie Tiao’s shoulder by her arm, but she didn’t realize it, and she just leaned on Xie Tiao’s body and refused to get off.

He even said while cheating: “Oh, my legs are so sore, you can carry me on your back.”

Xie Tiao: “Dream.”

Hearing her words, Ying tilted her head and kissed her neck, muttering: “Stingy.”

But the one who said ‘no memorization’ backhanded back to protect her, as if she was worried that she was busy playing around and forgot to look at the road under her feet, and pressed her palm on Ying’s back weakly.

Immediately afterwards, Ying finished complaining, and got off her body again, wanting to go to her side, but as soon as the distance separated, the two took a breath of cold air at the same time.

“hiss……”

“Hey……”

It turned out that a few strands of hair were messed up by Ying’s arm before, and got tangled up with the long hair on Xie Tiao’s shoulders. She immediately stopped, pinched her hair, and gently smoothed it out with her fingertips. , and then re-arranged Xie Tiao’s hair.

Only her golden hair was a little messy.

Xie Tie looked funny, raised his hand to help her straighten her hair, and only said: “Walk well.”

But obviously Ying didn’t listen to her, instead she walked up to her in two steps, and answered with a smile:

“If you don’t carry me, then I will carry you?”

Xie Tiao hooked her index finger to her, and when she walked back to him, he raised his hand to hold her hand, and when his fingers interlocked, Ying heard her say unhurriedly:

“Let’s go like this.”

Hearing her words, Ying calmed down inexplicably, only the smile in his eyes was like the golden edge of the clouds covered by the sun.

Side by side, hand in hand, from now on the mountain is long and the road is long, you and I will walk together.

……

A week later.

Xie Tiao and Ying returned to the courtyard in the capital, she lazily leaned on the deck chair under the tree, and called Cheng Youyou:

“Huh? Her, someone wanted to challenge her two days ago, and she’s in the kitchen right now…I went to the United States to get a visa last week, so I’m not in China, not traveling…Wedding? No, it’s fine… …”

Xie Tiao is not a high-profile person, and besides, there is no Gao Tang on his side who needs to witness the scene. Although Ying’s mother is kind, she always follows her husband all over the world. If the two of them want to hold a wedding, say Uncertain when it will have to be determined according to Ying’s father’s itinerary.

In the end, both of them decided quite tacitly that the wedding would not be held and the wedding photos would not be taken.

Living a peaceful life like this, and occasionally going to various places to search for delicious food on a whim, such a life couldn’t be more comfortable.

After hearing Xie Tiao’s decision, the person on the other end of the phone said something, which made Xie Tiao laugh lazily. The sun fell into the yard, and the golden light passed through the layers of leaves, and when it shone on her body, , mottled with bits and pieces of light.

After Ying finished researching her new product, she prepared her lunch by the way. After serving it out, she saw Xie Tiao on the lazy lounger under the tree.

Even though she was half-lying and basking in the sun, she was able to assume a beauty lying down, as if this person exuded a seductive energy from the inside out.

Seeing her come out with two dinner plates, Xie Tiao sat up with one hand supporting the chair, stretched out his feet to put on slippers, but for a while he didn’t see the shoes under the chair, they could only hang out of the reclining chair Shaking.

There happened to be a spot of light falling from the top, bouncing and shining on the skin of her ankles, making her skin white as if reflecting light for a moment.

Ying put down the two dinner plates, picked up the mushroom juice and poured it on the steak, looked up inadvertently, her blue eyes were fixed.

At that time, Xie Tiao didn’t know what he heard, a bit of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked with a smile:

“Is there such a black technology?”

She beckoned to Ying, as if she wanted to discuss something with her lover.

Ying suddenly realized that when she looked down, the whole cup of mushroom juice had been poured out long ago, only her hand holding the sauce bowl was still hanging empty.

She put down the things in her hand, and walked towards Xie Tiao’s direction a few steps.

Xie Tiao said “wait a minute” to Cheng Youyou, looked up at the person who came to her, raised her head slightly, and wanted to say something to Ying, but the person above bent down and kissed her on the lips.

Xie Tiao was blocked by such a cold word, and let out a little doubtful:

“Well?”

What’s wrong?Suddenly kissed while talking?

Unconsciously, Xie Daxie was confused by the kiss at all, and moved the phone a long distance away, and when Ying let go of her, she reminded her with her eyes:

It’s my turn today, little golden retriever, I advise you not to be too arrogant.

Ying chuckled, and kissed her lips again, stroking her red lips with her fingertips, never tired of loving this soft place.

Xie Tiao took her hand and asked:

“Do you like puppies?”

Ying: “What?”

“Yuyou said that a technology has been released recently that allows two women to have children. If you like it, we will raise one.”

The words were light and soft, as if they were talking about going to the pet store to pick up a little guy in the afternoon, instead of going to the hospital for matching, and then waiting for a baby to be born in ten months.

Ying listened to her words, twitched the corners of her lips, and replied:

“I like you better.”

It doesn’t matter if there are children or not, as long as Xie Tie likes it.

Xie Tie snorted, and replied to his apprentice. After hanging up the phone, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of his lunch, and happened to see the steak covered in mushroom sauce in front of him.

Xie Tiao: “…”

She looked at Ying on the opposite side in amazement, as if it was hard to imagine that a family steak served by the dignified contemporary God of Cookery could contain so much sauce that it almost overflowed from the edge of the plate.

Ying felt that she was in the wrong, looked down at her share, and was about to cover up to get the sauce dish, when the tentacle felt that the dish was empty.

…By the way, when she was making the sauce, she put the amount for two people on a plate.

So her steak still maintained the freshly cooked, shiny appearance, with fine black peppercorns on the surface.

Two steaks, one died of drought and the other died of waterlogging.

Xie Tiao shook his head, picked up a spoon, scooped up some sauce from his own plate, put it on Ying’s plate, then picked up a knife and fork to cut off a piece from his own plate, and before bringing it to his mouth, he said with a smile said a sentence:

“For the sake of your fame, I can only help you destroy this evidence first.”

In order not to be discovered by one of the contemporary gods of food, even the most basic combination of steak and sauce has a terrible basic error.

Ying lowered her head and ate her share, pretending that she didn’t hear it.

Xie Tiao took a sip and was really surprised, so he couldn’t help asking again:

“The beef is fine, can you tell me what happened when you poured the sauce today?”

Bewitched by beauty.

Ying said expressionlessly from the bottom of her heart.

“Oh, someone made trouble, so it didn’t work properly.”

Xie Tiao looked at his own yard, and there was a little surprise in his long and narrow dark eyes, and he asked in disbelief:

“If I remember correctly, we’re the only ones in this yard? And I’ve been on the phone?”

Are you sure it’s a person making trouble and not a ghost?

Ying sighed from the bottom of her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face. She thought to herself, thanking the boss for his good looks, even if he didn’t deliberately seduce people, it was already enough to make people suffer.

However, saying this would only make Xie Tiao’s ridicule worse, so she chose to shut up.

Seeing her hesitant to speak, Xie Tiao asked with great interest, “Huh?”

Ying ground her back molars a bit, and replied:

“I made a mistake myself.”

The splattered flowers gradually became charming to the eyes, so much so that she stumbled.

……

That night.

A wild cat nimbly jumped up to the eaves, and passed through several rooms, occasionally looking left and right, trying to find out who has a scent in the kitchen, so that it can quietly steal a few pieces of dried fish while the owner is away. .

When passing by a quiet yard, it jumped in following the familiar scent, walked lightly and silently on the ground, walked to an old silver bowl containing dried fish, and ate it happily.

Unexpectedly, a strange sound came from the next room, which startled it, stepped on the bowl with one paw, and made a crisp sound.

in the room.

Ying vaguely heard the movement outside, was startled, and was about to sit up, but was stopped by Xie Tiao’s shoulder, because this movement pushed herself forward instead.

So he only got up halfway, and was pushed back to the bed.

Xie Ruo chuckled lightly, and replied soothingly:

“There are a lot of wild cats around recently, so I put some dried fish in the yard, don’t be so nervous.”

Ying opened her eyes and looked at her. The dimly lit room was completely illuminated by the light falling in from the yard, which added a bit of hazy feeling.

They can only see the curvature of each other’s chin and side face, and the rest can only be supplemented by their usual understanding.

Filled with a secret sense of familiarity.

The moment Xie Lie bowed his head and kissed, half of his face happened to be covered by the place where the light could reach.

At that moment, her eyebrows were so gentle that Ying had never seen before.

As if looking at a treasure.

Ying froze for a moment, then was pulled into a deeper whirlpool.

Another hour passed, and the sound in the room stopped a lot until the stray cat had been gone for an unknown amount of time.

Holding Xie Tiao’s waist, Ying said hoarsely:

“One is fine.”

Xie Tie didn’t hear clearly: “Huh?”

“Don’t you want a child? Just one.”

Better be like you, be gentle like you.

Xie Yi smiled and replied: “Okay.”

The two clasped each other’s hands tightly under the quilt, and fell asleep together.
