Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 380 - 249: Junior Brother Xiaojiang, I Really Like You! (3)

"I’m also a student at Jiang University! This peach blossom mille-feuille pastry is both crispy and flaky, with distinct layers, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the texture is amazing, not dry at all, with a faint peach blossom aroma... Thinking about that taste now, it feels like my mouth is full of fragrance!"

"Jiang University student reporting! I’ll just say this, if you don’t try this peach blossom mille-feuille pastry, you’ll regret it!"

"..."

"Gurgle gurgle!"

Xie Siqi carefully read through all the comments in the comments section one by one, and by the end, she actually found herself hungry, with her stomach "gurgling" in protest.

She snapped out of it, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, she quickly exited the Douyin app and without thinking, directly dialed her personal assistant’s phone number. As soon as the call connected, she eagerly said:

"Where are you now? Hurry up and go to the National Day Restaurant and buy me two boxes of butterfly cookies, quickly, I’m starving!"

After hanging up, Xie Siqi let out a big sigh of relief, having been tempted by the peach blossom mille-feuille pastry, she definitely needed to eat some butterfly cookies to calm down.

Then, she flipped up from the sofa, her fair little feet twitching, pouted angrily, thinking to herself:

Why am I eating butterfly cookies to calm down? Butterfly cookies aren’t as delicious as peach blossom pastries!

Thinking of this, she picked up her phone to check the time, tilted her head and thought for a while, then moved her nimble fingers to type a message and sent it to someone.

After sending it, Xie Siqi displayed a triumphant smile, then lay down on the sofa and returned to playing with her phone...

...

In a small private room at the Seventh Dining Hall.

Jiang Yu was in exceptional form today, the computer wasn’t a match for him. He played three games of chess, defeating the computer decisively each time, leaving it no choice but to surrender.

This undoubtedly gave him a great deal of confidence, thinking his chess skills had greatly improved, believing he awakened the "Chess Soul" and perhaps could improve even further.

So, in the fourth game, he increased the game’s difficulty to medium and continued "battling" with high spirits, but by the end of that game, the upgraded computer defeated him soundly, leaving him no choice but to surrender.

Jiang Yu, not believing in superstitions, kept on playing two more games, but the results... were disastrously bad.

Unconvinced, he was about to continue when his phone suddenly chimed with "ding ding," saving the stubborn him from playing until he lost his underpants.

He let out a big sigh of relief, exited the chess app, and opened the message to find it was from Xie Siqi:

"Junior Brother Xiaojiang, what are you up to? Cooked anything delicious lately? Have you thought of your Senior Sister?"

Reading the message in one glance, Jiang Yu couldn’t help but laugh. Ever since Xie Siqi returned last time, she occasionally sent him one or two messages.

They weren’t very familiar with each other, and their circles didn’t overlap, so they naturally didn’t have much to talk about. But that never stopped the quirky Xie Siqi, she always found a topic to chat about for a bit.

Although they didn’t chat much each time, over time, they got to know each other a bit.

For instance, Jiang Yu learned that Xie Siqi graduated from Modu Music College. She didn’t participate in any singing talent shows before debuting. Her resources were abundant, starting to sing theme songs for movies and TV shows before graduation...

It could be said she was not only a talented singer, but her family probably had a lot of influence, otherwise, these resources wouldn’t be easily available to an aspiring artist still in school.

Of course, these details about Xie Siqi, she mentioned them inadvertently, and Jiang Yu just listened without any particular thoughts.

The last message from Xie Siqi was over a week ago. She had mentioned she would be busy recording recently, and Jiang Yu didn’t mind since he never initiated contact with her, so he wasn’t worried about bothering her.

Now that Xie Siqi suddenly popped up, she must be done with work, right?

Thinking about this, Jiang Yu couldn’t help but laugh and casually replied with a message:

"Resting on the first floor in a small private room, I need to go up soon to get ready for dinner."

Unexpectedly, Xie Siqi quickly replied:

"Cooking so many dishes every day must be tiring, make sure to balance work and rest.

By the way, I asked you four questions, why did you only answer two? Quickly answer all of them! Otherwise, Senior Sister will be angry with you!"

Jiang Yu chuckled speechlessly. You didn’t ask seriously, so I just answered casually, and now you want me to take it seriously? He couldn’t even remember all her questions!

Thinking for a while, he checked the first message and his expression turned odd.

This little girl probably knows something; otherwise, why would she remind me to answer all her questions?

Though truth be told, it was indeed his oversight.

Without giving it much more thought, Jiang Yu sent another message:

"Yeah, I recently made some peach blossom mille-feuille pastries. I plan to ask for your and Senior Sister Liu’s address tomorrow when the pastry boxes arrive, to send some for you both to taste."
