The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

"Kid, with your intelligence, I'm sure you've already come up with a plan to fool me, right?"

Upon entering the reception room, Ye Lan went straight to the head seat and sat down.

Two long legs encased in stockings crossed, she leaned back, crossed her arms over her chest, and slightly raised her chin.

That kind of demeanor is exactly like a super mature and sophisticated Starbucks.

Secretary Li followed behind, quickly glancing at Ji Bai, then at the young lady from Beijing, giving Ji Bai a "good luck" look, and then very tactfully withdrew.

Putting aside the fact that she is the apple of the eye of the Ye and Qin families, just considering her goddess-like appearance, he didn't want to stay here and spoil Ji Bai's "refined interest".

What if that person is a genius and has a particular taste?

The door closed gently.

Only Ji Bai and Ye Lan remained in the room.

"Tell me your reasons, let me hear them."

Ye Lan raised her chin, glancing at him with an air of "Let's see how you act."

Ji Bai smiled, not responding to her words, but instead focusing his gaze on her face, speaking as casually as if it were just a casual remark: "Sister, you look really beautiful today."

He silently added in his mind: "Sorry, teacher. I'm in a pinch. I'll borrow the buff for now and make it up to you double next time."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Lan seemed to be electrocuted.

An indescribable feeling exploded from the depths of my heart.

My mind went completely blank.

Then came wave after wave of shockwaves, rushing from the coccyx all the way to the top of the head, like countless tiny electric currents running rampant through the body.

She froze, her fingertips unconsciously gripping the hem of her trench coat, her breath catching in her throat.

What did he just say?

Just a simple "You look great today"?

But why...?

It was just an ordinary compliment.

Countless people say the same thing to her countless times every day.

Fans held up light boards and shouted "Ye Lan is so beautiful," and people in the industry would praise her when they met her, saying "Teacher Ye looks great today." The rich young men who pursued her went to great lengths to praise her, saying things like "stunningly beautiful" and "a peerless beauty," which they were tired of hearing.

But those words, compared to Ji Bai's "You look really good today," are like the difference between a black-and-white silent film and 4K Dolby Atmos.

The boy's words seemed to possess a certain magic, each word striking precisely at her most vulnerable spot.

Ye Lan even felt her skin burning, as if something had awakened within her body, making her feel light and soft all over.

That sentence almost broke my composure!

"Don't give me that!"

Ye Lan forced a straight face, but her voice softened uncontrollably: "When...when don't I look good?"

She regretted it as soon as she said it.

Others?

When did Ye Lan ever use the word "people"?

She was called "older sister" just a moment ago, but now she's grown up.

She was a queenly, mature woman just a moment ago, but now she's instantly transformed into an innocent and adorable young girl!

Ye Lan cursed herself in her heart, her face turning even redder.

Seeing her reaction, Ji Bai thought to himself how awesome the system was.

This effect is even more powerful than the one we used on our teacher last time.

As expected, a goddess-level foundation makes all the difference.

After a long while, Ye Lan finally managed to calm herself down and put on that cold and aloof mask again:

"Stop talking nonsense! You need to give me an explanation today!"

She spoke toughly, but in her heart she was thinking: as long as this bastard can come up with a plausible reason, I... I'll let him go.

However, Ji Bai did not make up any reason.

He just smiled and asked:

Are you hungry?

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Lan's stomach rumbled in perfect unison.

The air was quiet for a second.

Ye Lan's face flushed red to her ears instantly.

Upon receiving the news, she immediately flew from Beijing to Shenyang, and then took a car from Shenyang to Fucheng. She has been traveling all this way and hasn't eaten anything.

But just then, my stomach rumbled.

It even rang right in front of him!

"I...I'm a little hungry, what's wrong?"

"Perfect timing, I haven't eaten much all day either. Wait a minute, I'll make you some noodles."

As Ji Bai spoke, he walked towards the kitchen.

Ye Lan still wouldn't let up: "Hmph! Don't think that just because I'm feeding you, I'll let you off the hook! I paid in full!"

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment.

Give me some to eat...

under……

Why does this sound so awkward?

and many more.

In an instant, Ye Lan's face flushed crimson.

"You brat! You're taking advantage of me!"

Ye Lan's eyes widened in anger, and she stood up abruptly from the sofa, pointing at Ji Bai with her fingers trembling.

That little rascal, he actually... he actually flirted with her!

That's incredibly audacious!

From childhood to adulthood, no boy had ever dared to flirt with her so openly.

Which of her suitors wasn't polite and gentle in front of her, never daring to utter a harsh word?

How dare that brat do that?

But for some reason, Ye Lan just couldn't get angry.

The warmth in her heart was still surging, melting her anger into a soft, shy feeling.

"You, you, you..."

She hesitated for a long time, but couldn't come up with a coherent answer.

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Ji Bai waved his hand, looking at her helplessly: "Big sister, can you please get all that lewd nonsense out of your head?"

"It's just making a bowl of noodles, what are you thinking?"

"Huh? Me?"

Ye Lan pointed at herself with an incredulous expression: "You mean I should dig all that lewd stuff out of my head? Me?"

"Alright, alright, go back and wait patiently, it'll be ready soon."

"you……"

Ye Lan's face flushed red with suppressed rage, and she could only manage a cold snort: "Fine! I'll wait! If your noodles don't taste good..."

"Pah! I meant, if your noodles aren't good, we'll settle all our scores, old and new!"

"Okay, okay, let's calculate."

Ji Bai smiled and shook his head, then turned and went into the kitchen.

"I promise you'll never forget it after you've tasted it."

"Ha, anyone can brag." Ye Lan curled her lip.

She didn't believe it.

What delicacies hasn't she eaten?

She has tasted the cuisines of chefs who have served state banquets and those who have earned three Michelin stars.

Even if this kid is a genius, he can't possibly be a top-notch cook, right?

Ye Lan sat back down on the sofa, arms crossed, her face still burning hot.

"You little brat, you're talking nonsense..."

She muttered to herself, but her eyes kept glancing towards the kitchen.

Inside the kitchen, Ji Bai tied on an apron and began to work.

Secretary Li prepared plenty of things.

All kinds of kitchen utensils are available, the refrigerator is full of common ingredients, the spice jars are neatly arranged, and even several pots of different sizes are prepared.

Ji Bai opened the cabinet, glanced around, and took out a bag of noodles.

Then he took out two more eggs, a can of ham, and a few green vegetables.

Ye Lan sat outside, watching from afar as he took out something. The anticipation that had just been stirred in her heart instantly vanished.

Noodles?

She thought this jerk was going to show off his skills, but he just cooked some noodles?
