Entertainment: A song that brought his deceased wife back to life.

Although these words are rough, they are for Xu Qing's own good.

After all, in this father's eyes, although his daughter was good, she had been "dead" for more than a year.

If this child keeps living with a dead person, he'll be ruined sooner or later.

pat.

Xu Qing slammed the water glass down on the table.

A few drops of water spilled out and landed on the clean white tablecloth, leaving a small water stain.

His face, which had been expressionless, instantly turned cold.

That kind of coldness is a chill that seeps into your very bones.

It made the surrounding air seem to freeze several degrees.

"Mr. Luo."

Xu Qing turned her head and looked directly into Luo Tianxiong's eyes.

There was no reverence for power in those eyes.

There is only one kind of fanaticism that reaches the extreme of madness.

She's gone.

"So money is just a pile of waste paper to me."

"Besides buying that guitar, there's nothing else I'll ever want to buy in my life."

"As for better people..."

Xu Qing's eyes dimmed.

He remembered the shadow he had seen from the side of the stage earlier.

The shadow whose face he couldn't see clearly, yet whose every movement was so familiar it broke his heart.

There is no one better than her in this world.

"Even if there were, they wouldn't be my little fish."

"I don't want anyone but my little fish."

These words were powerful and resounding.

There were no flowery words, nor any hysterical roars.

It's just that kind of plain and simple narration.

But Luo Tianxiong's eyes welled up with tears.

This old man has been ruthless and decisive in the business world for decades, and his heart has long been as hard as stone.

At this moment, I feel a little sore in my nose.

Oh shit.

Silly boy.

What a silly boy.

No wonder my arrogant daughter would ruin her voice and give up her rich heiress status to live in a basement for him.

Worth it.

It was totally worth it.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want it, then you don't want it."

Luo Tianxiong quickly picked up a napkin to wipe the corner of his mouth, but actually took the opportunity to wipe the corner of his eye.

"I was just saying, don't take it to heart."

Just then.

A muffled thud suddenly came from behind a mahogany screen in the corner of the restaurant.

It looked like someone had accidentally bumped into the chair leg.

The noise was very subtle.

But in this deathly silence, it appeared exceptionally clear.

Xu Qing's ears twitched.

He turned his head sharply and looked at the screen.

That spot is a blind spot; it's pitch black and you can't see anything.

But he always felt there were people there.

Moreover, it's a very familiar feeling of being watched.

What was that sound?

Xu Qing frowned slightly.

Luo Tianxiong was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Hidden behind that screen was Luo Qianyu, who should have been "dead" for over a year.

If Xu Qing finds out...

Tonight's performance was a complete disaster.

"Cough cough! Cough cough cough!"

Luo Tianxiong burst into a violent cough, trying to cover up the sound.

"That's a cat!"

"I have a cat at home, and it's really mischievous."

"They're always running up and down, aren't they afraid of falling and dying?"

As Luo Tianxiong spoke, he frantically winked at the butler.

The butler immediately understood and called out to the other side of the screen.

"Mimi! Come out quickly! Stop causing trouble!"

Silence fell behind the screen.

Xu Qing withdrew her gaze.

猫？

It's not unusual to keep a cat in such a large mansion.

The impact sounded a bit muffled, not like something a nimble cat would make.

It's more like...

A clumsy person.

But his mind was in a mess and he wasn't feeling well, so he didn't want to delve into those details.

The cramping in my stomach is getting stronger and stronger.

Xu Qing subconsciously reached out and pressed her hand against her stomach, her face as white as a sheet.

His stomach had been ruined long ago due to years of irregular eating habits and a year of homelessness.

I haven't eaten a single grain of rice all day, and I just drank some cold water, and now I'm starting to rebel.

A fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Luo Tianxiong had been staring at him and immediately noticed something was wrong.

"What's wrong? Stomach ache?"

Xu Qing bit her lip and nodded.

"It's an old problem."

"Do you have any medicine? Just two stomach pills will do."

"Why take medicine! Every medicine has side effects!"

Luo Tianxiong slammed his hand on the table and yelled towards the kitchen.

"Where's the porridge? Isn't it ready yet?"

"Can't you see the customer is sweating from the pain?!"

The kitchen door opened immediately.

The butler quickly walked over carrying a tray.

A bowl of steaming white porridge sits on the tray.

There was also a small dish next to it, containing a small spoonful of dark red sauce.

"Mr. Xu, this is freshly cooked stomach-soothing porridge."

The butler placed the porridge in front of Xu Qing, speaking respectfully.

"Nothing was added, just rice oil rendered out, which is very nourishing."

"And this too."

The butler pointed to the small dish.

"My young lady... oh no, my chef's special beef sauce."

"It's also good for the stomach, and it's not spicy."

Xu Qing didn't pay much attention when she heard the word "Miss".

His attention was now completely focused on that small dish.

The sauce looked dark and unappetizing.

It even looks a bit burnt.

But it has a very peculiar smell.

It's a mixture of caramel and dried chili peppers, with a touch of aged vinegar.

This taste...

Xu Qing's fingers trembled slightly.

This tastes so familiar.

He was so familiar with him that it was etched into his DNA.

Two years ago, he and Xiaoyu, whom he had just met, squeezed into a rented room of only 20 square meters.

Neither of them had any money.

The most common dish is plain congee with beef sauce.

That brand of beef sauce is very cheap, only five yuan a bottle.

Later, the factory went out of business, and that sauce became unavailable.

Little Fish craved that taste, so she bought beef and chili peppers and messed around in that tiny kitchen that could only fit one person.

I always end up burning the sugar a little bit.

She said that's what gives it that "old-fashioned flavor".

Xu Qing picked up the spoon.

His hands were shaking violently.

The spoon made a crisp sound as it touched the edge of the plate.

He scooped up a tiny bit of the dark sauce and put it in his mouth.

It smells burnt.

Slightly spicy.

And then there's that final hint of sourness.

The same.

This is what it tastes like when made with small fish.

One of a kind in the whole world.

Even the perfect "burnt" flavor from the heat control is flawless.

Xu Qing suddenly raised her head.

His gaze was like a sharp sword piercing Luo Tianxiong.

The weakness and fatigue I felt earlier vanished instantly.

Instead, there was extreme shock and disbelief.

"This sauce..."

Xu Qing stared intently at the small dish.

"Where did you buy it?"

Luo Tianxiong felt uneasy under their gaze.

broken.

They've been exposed.

This girl's cooking is so bad, how could this guy possibly develop feelings for her?

"This...this is that..."

Luo Tianxiong stammered, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.

"It's just a small brand."

"I just bought it at the supermarket."

"Bought casually?"

Xu Qing sneered.

"This brand of sauce factory went out of business five years ago."

"Which supermarket did you buy it at?"

"Did you travel back in time to buy it?"

Behind the screen.

Luo Qianyu covered her mouth, tears welling up instantly.

She never dreamed of this.

Even after three years.

Even just a bite of sauce.

He could taste that she made it.

Xu Qing stood up.

He didn't even care about his stomach pain anymore.

That intuition was screaming wildly in his mind.

Not right.

Something's not right.

That guitar, worth 1.8 million.

Those eighteen inexplicably designated Hope Primary Schools.

That familiar figure on the side of the stage.

And this plate of beef sauce is something you can't possibly buy.

All the clues pointed to an answer he couldn't believe, yet desperately longed for.

"here……"

Xu Qing looked around, her gaze finally settling on the quiet screen.

"Except for cats."

Is anyone else here?
