Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 1930 - 1934: Super Scholar

"It’s nothing," Muu Qingwan chuckled with her lips pursed, "maybe I have a bit of talent in this area. I didn’t study for long, and after slicing a few times, I could cut this thin."

Ye Xingbei: "..."

She suddenly thought of a saying: Do you know why so many people have been hit by apples in this world, but only Newton discovered gravity?

Because of talent!

Just like how she excels at songwriting. Even without systematic training, she was already very skilled.

That ability was innate, she was born with it.

After systematic training, she progressed to another level, reaching the pinnacle effortlessly.

But some people are tone-deaf by nature, and even if a hundred or a thousand masters taught them day and night, they would never stand out as exceptionally talented.

That’s talent.

Something everyone desires but most people don’t have.

"Why did you learn to cook?" Ye Xingbei asked, "Is it a hobby? There aren’t many young girls into cooking these days."

"I initially learned to cook because my grandparents were in poor health and ate very little every day. I wanted to make something delicious for them personally, so I went to find a master chef to learn," Muu Qingwan said as she busily worked, "After getting into it, I suddenly found that I quite enjoy cooking. Seeing my grandparents eat happily gives me a special sense of satisfaction and achievement."

"Oh," Ye Xingbei nodded, praising her, "you’re really filial."

Such a sensible young girl and so filial too, Ye Xingbei had a good impression of her.

"It’s nothing," Muu Qingwan chuckled, "My grandparents love me dearly. Seeing them unwell makes me anxious, and I just want to do my best to do something for them. That should be human nature, right?"

"Yes, being filial is human nature too," Ye Xingbei asked, "Are you still in school? Which school do you attend?"

"I’ve graduated," Muu Qingwan replied, "Last year I got a dual bachelor’s degree from Beijing University. I didn’t continue studying afterward and joined my grandfather’s company last fall to help him. My grandfather isn’t in good health, so I wanted to help share the burden."

Ye Xingbei: "...So you got a dual bachelor’s degree at nineteen?"

"Yes." Muu Qingwan tossed the prepared ingredients into the pan and stir-fried them.

Ye Xingbei: "...Nineteen isn’t that the age to just start college?"

Muu Qingwan turned her head and smiled at her, "I started school early and skipped a few grades, so I graduated relatively early."

Ye Xingbei: "..."

Don’t make skipping grades sound as easy as chopping carrots and cabbage, okay?

She realized she had met another super scholar!

Ever since she got together with Gu Junzhu, super scholars seemed to lose their rarity.

Not to mention Gu Junzhu himself, just his three special assistants, each one is a super scholar!

So, the saying birds of a feather flock together is true!

"Do you have a photographic memory?" Ye Xingbei was now filled with curiosity about Muu Qingwan.

"Not quite a photographic memory," Muu Qingwan answered every question, "If I see something once, I can only remember eight or nine-tenths of it. I need to look again to fully remember."

Ye Xingbei: "..."

This regretful tone, if heard by someone who needs to recite a text ten times to remember it, would surely drive them to grab a knife!

Luckily, her memory was decent. Otherwise, her knees would definitely be full of arrows right now.

Muu Qingwan cooked quickly, and in just over ten minutes, four dishes were ready.
