Chapter 2683: Yin ya’s gift
Translator: 549690339
Everything was carried out step by step. Although the main reason was to complete the mission, Yuan Zhou had always been very serious about cooking. No matter what his purpose was, he had to do his best to learn cooking. Even if he could tell the whole story with just a glance with his current strength, he would still do it once to make sure that his eyes, brain, and hands were all good.
That afternoon, the sun was just right.
It was rare that Yuan Zhou wasn’t practicing his culinary skills or learning cuisines from other countries. Instead, he had a free day and was sitting in the backyard, lazily basking in the sun.
There were several plates of beautiful pastries on the stone table beside her. There were crystal clear Jasmine cakes, blooming rose cakes and Osmanthus cakes that could move people’s hearts just by looking at them. They were all Yin ya’s favorite types of cold snacks.
At the moment, Yuan Zhou was making tea with a purple clay tea set given to him by Wang Mingjie, a disciple of Jiangsu cuisine. The tea set was very exquisite and beautiful. The Biluochun tea made by the tea set was unique and also liked by Yin ya.
“Xiao Ya’s plane will arrive in an hour. I’m almost done with the preparations here, so I can go out and pick her up.” Yuan Zhou calculated the time and found it was almost time.
This time, Yin ya went on a business trip again. The time she took the plane back was just 3:00 after the business time at noon, which was convenient for Yuan Zhou to pick her up.
As long as Yuan Zhou had time, Yin ya would always pick him up when he was on a business trip. As a good fiancé, this was what he should do.
However, Yin ya was really quite busy, especially after she was promoted by half a level again. She became busier and had more time to travel to other places than before.
With Yuan Zhou’s support, half of Yin ya’s attention was on her work while the other half was on Yuan Zhou. This way, her family and career wouldn’t be affected.
This time, Yin ya had been away on her business trip for a long time, almost a week. Therefore, Yuan Zhou still missed her very much.
Just as he was about to get up and go to the second floor to change clothes and pick Yin ya up, he heard a burst of extremely subtle footsteps not far away from the door, which sounded very familiar.
It wasn’t the business time at the moment. Naturally, he wasn’t under the protection of the system. In addition, Yuan Zhou had sharp ears and sharp eyes. No sound could escape from his ears.
Upon hearing the footsteps, Yuan Zhou, who was a little anxious, sat back down quietly and began to pour the tea slowly. The curve of the corner of his mouth rose a few degrees and the imposing manner around him eased. Obviously, he was very happy.
Just as Yuan Zhou sat down, the door opened softly. Someone walked towards him quietly. He was probably walking on tiptoes on purpose, almost as if he was a cat. If it was someone else instead of Yuan Zhou, no sound would be heard. The person was really walking in an extremely light manner.
Yuan Zhou still pretended that he didn’t hear anything and directly poured the tea into the beautiful and exquisite purple clay cup. Right at that moment, a burst of fragrance assaulted him. It was the faint fragrance of Magnolia that Yin ya was used to. Two smooth and soft small hands covered Yuan Zhou’s eyes while a deliberately lowered voice sounded beside his ears,
“Guess who I am?”
Her voice carried a smiling tone. Apparently, the visitor was in a very good mood. A big smile hung on her delicate and beautiful face. Her smiling appearance made people couldn’t help but want to smile along with her. It was Yin ya.
It was rare for Yin ya to be so playful. After Yuan Zhou got together with Yin ya, he had also learned a lot of quotes from a filial husband. Therefore, he was particularly cooperative,””I can’t guess, but she must be a very beautiful person.”
“Hahahaha, blockhead, are you surprised? I’m home.”
Probably because of Yuan Zhou’s cooperation, Yin ya’s smile instantly widened. She laughed so hard that she directly rolled into Yuan Zhou’s arms and continued to giggle. Obviously, she was really happy.
“Xiao Ya, you’re back. Why did you say the time was wrong? I didn’t even pick you up.” Yuan Zhou said while carefully holding Yin ya in his arms, afraid that she would roll on the ground while laughing.
“I just didn’t want you to make an extra trip. I can come back by myself.” Yin ya pulled Yuan Zhou’s sleeve and said.
During the recent period, no one knew better than Yin ya, the person who slept beside Yuan Zhou, how busy he had been. Even when he was on a business trip, Yin ya would call Yuan Zhou every night to remind him not to be too tired and to give herself more time to rest.
Yuan Zhou was so eager to work 48 hours a day that she felt it would be useless. Therefore, Yin ya told him she would be one hour late on purpose. In this way, she didn’t need to worry that Yuan Zhou would come to pick her up. She would have already come back by then.
It could be said that Yin ya had spent a lot of effort in order to let Yuan Zhou rest for a while.
“Let me pick you up next time. It’s okay, you can rest in the car. I’ve prepared a few of your favorite cakes. Which one do you want to eat first?” Yuan Zhou patted Yin ya’s head gently and said.
“I’ve been out for a few days. I really miss the food made of wood. Let me see. ”
Upon hearing that, Yin ya stopped laughing. She sat up straight in Yuan Zhou’s arms and looked at the stone table. There were red rose cakes, white jasmine cakes and light yellow Osmanthus cakes. They were of different shapes and colors, but they were all very beautiful and exquisite, which made people drool.
Having not eaten Yuan Zhou’s food for a week, Yin ya naturally didn’t feel guilty for wanting to eat but being afraid of getting fat. She couldn’t wait to eat all the pastries in one go.
She had completely forgotten about the beef jerkies and milk tea buns that Yuan Zhou had brought for Yin ya. She had eaten up the last bit of them on the plane, which clearly showed how much Yuan Zhou had brought for her.
In order to prevent Yin ya from carrying so many heavy things outside, Yuan Zhou had specially checked in these things to the hotel where Yin ya would be staying so that she could take them directly when she arrived.
“Oh, sweet but not greasy, the fragrance is everlasting, it’s my favorite sweetness, it’s really delicious.”
In order to make it more convenient for her to eat, Yin ya had already sat down on the stone bench at the side from Yuan Zhou’s arms. However, the two of them were still very close to each other. Whenever Yin ya ate a piece, she would also feed Yuan Zhou a mouthful. For a moment, the atmosphere was quite sweet.
The flower cakes prepared by Yuan Zhou were only for Yin ya to fill her stomach and satisfy her cravings. Naturally, there wasn’t much of them. A small plate only contained about three to four pieces of the cake. Three plates didn’t amount to much either. Therefore, they were soon eaten up.
Not until she finished eating did Yin ya recall something and said mysteriously,”Blockhead, guess what I brought you this time?”
Every time Yin ya went out and came back, she would not only bring gifts for her best friend, but also pick out gifts for Yuan Zhou. She had brought all kinds of clothes, shoes, scarves, and so on.
“I can’t guess what it is. Could it be the brooch you mentioned before?” Yuan Zhou asked.
Previously, Yin ya had taken a photo of a beautiful men’s brooch and showed it to him. It was very elegant and simple. She said that it could be hung on the formal dress to attend banquets or award ceremonies.
“Of course not. I met a very famous Chinese medicine Hall in the local area. They have a kind of hand cream and hand membranes that are quite effective. I’ve already tried it to see if it looks more delicate than usual. It’s all natural and has no taste. You can try it without worry.” Yin ya said quite complacently.
Conveniently, she stretched her fair and tender little hand in front of Yuan Zhou, as if she wanted him to see clearly.
