Chapter 102: The Seventh Princess's Name (2)
"You won't be able to, I know you're the best!" Ye Lang said with a smile.
Zhen Xiaoyan pouted and said: "I'm fine, I won't do it for you anyway. You don't care about me at all."
"Why bother putting you in mind, I don't have that much idle time." Ye Lang said very directly.
"...Go die!" Zhen Xiao Yan angrily said, then in the following days, she didn't appear in front of Ye Lang again, as if she was really angry.
As for this, Ye Lang can be said to have no taste for anything! However, this is not what Ye Lang thought of Zhen Xiaoyan, but because he couldn't eat Zhen Xiaoyan's things, that's why he felt there was no flavor!
Alas, this fat woman has left like this. From now on, I won't be able to eat her food anymore. It's really not used to it, but it's also good this way. Sooner or later, we would have parted ways anyway. Even if there wasn't this time, I would still go out and play, and still part with her, and wouldn't be able to eat her food.
It's better to adapt early on. If I had known earlier, I should have asked her to stock up for myself!
The story goes back to when the contestants set off, the emperor will hold a banquet in the palace for the students to practice, that is to say, at that time Ye Lang will still see Zhen Xiaoyan who may still be angry.
At that time, many people would attend, not only the participating students and their families, but also some court officials who wanted to capture these talents.
This is also a convention, I don't know when this convention started, and this convention has become more and more grand!
Time has passed unknowingly, and today is the day when the trainees leave. Everyone has already packed up and is waiting in front of the palace!
"I knew this place wasn't fun long ago, I should go to sleep instead!" Ye Lang stood among the crowd, yawning, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.
"How dare you!" The Seventh Princess and Ye Lan Yu scolded him in unison.
Today is their departure day, how can they miss Ye Lang this important figure, if he doesn't come to see them off, they might not leave!
"If I dared, I wouldn't be here!" Ye Lang said helplessly.
"You're smart!" The two women said in unison.
"I'm going to find Fei Po, she seems to still be angry!" Ye Lang didn't know if he was taking the opportunity to slip away or if he really cared about Zhen Xiao Yan's feelings, but he left Ye Lan Yu and Qi Gong Zhu behind and walked towards Zhen Xiao Yan in the crowd.
At that time, Zhen Xiaoyan was looking at Ye Lang. Seeing him walking over, a hint of delight flashed in her eyes. From this look, it could be seen that she wasn't angry!
However, Ye Lang did not realize this and only thought that Zhen Xiaoyan had been gone for so many days, her anger must not have dissipated yet.
"Are you still angry, Fei Po?" Ye Lang asked.
"Ah!" Zhen Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook her head, "No, I'm not angry. Why would you think I'm angry?"
"You've been gone for so many days without a word, are you angry or what?" Ye Lang asked in puzzlement.
Zhen Xiaoyan looked at Ye Lang and asked softly: "If I get angry, what would you do?"
Does she mind me? She didn't say this out loud, only because her face is still quite tender, unlike a certain someone who doesn't know shame, oh no, it's dullness!
"I'll apologize. Coax you!" Ye Lang replied.
"Really?!" Zhen Xiaoyan exclaimed with delight, but this only lasted for a moment.
Ye Lang nodded and replied: "Yeah! Otherwise I won't be able to eat your cooking in the future!"
"Hmph! I should have known you'd say something like that!" Zhen Xiao Yan immediately became displeased.
"Hey, don't be angry, fatty. This time when you go to training, remember to take care of yourself. I don't want to lose you." Ye Lang instructed, this sentence came from his true heart, he didn't want to lose Zhen Xiaoyan, but what reason was behind it, that's worth studying.
"I know, I know, you still don't want to lose me as your lifelong cook!" Zhen Xiaoyan nodded and said with a deep understanding.
"No matter what happens, remember, you're mine, nothing can happen to you!" Ye Lang said with a smile.
"Pfft! Pfft! Who's yours? Don't talk nonsense, I'm still going to get married!" Zhen Xiaoyan's face turned red as she hit Ye Lang, seemingly being playful...
"You're my lifelong cook, you just said so yourself." Ye Lang waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"Hmph! I won't bother with you anymore! Alright, since there's still time now, I'll give you all the food for this year." Zhen Xiao Yan said as she took out the prepared food from her spatial bag.
"What? One year? Did you really do it?" Ye Lang exclaimed, while his hands were not idle, taking the food handed over by Zhen Xiaoyan and putting it into his spatial bag.
"Hmm! I've been helping you in the kitchen all these days. It's not easy to finish so many, and I don't even know if it's enough." Zhen Xiaoyan nodded as she spoke, but her hands didn't slow down or stop passing things over.
Now Ye Lang understood that all these days, Zhen Xiao Yan was not angry with him, but had been preparing food for him. The reason might be because of his words, which made her prepare a year's worth of food!
Looking at Zhēn Xiǎo Yān's smiling face, Ye Làng suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart. It seemed that he had not cared about her much except for food, but she had always been considering him.
Am I being too heartless?
"Fat lady..." Ye Lang looked at Zhen Xiaoyan, his eyes a little moist.
"What's wrong? Are you asking me why I didn't go over? You, your sister and Seventh Princess were chatting, I didn't want to interrupt, I thought I'd wait until you all finished talking, but I didn't expect you to come over yourself." Zhen Xiaoyan said with a hint of happiness, the fact that Ye Lang had taken the initiative to come over made her heart very joyful.
Perhaps for Ye Lang, this is not a big deal, but for her, it's a completely different concept.
And if Ye Lang didn't come to find her, she would take the initiative to go to him and hand over the food in her hands. She just felt that with Ye Lan Yu and Qi Gongzhu around, she should hold back a bit.
All this shows that she didn't hold any grudge against Ye Ruo, at least not overnight. After a good night's sleep, no matter how big the anger was, it would all be gone.
"Oh, actually you don't have to be afraid of them, they like you." Ye Lang recalled that Zhen Xiao Yan would always be a bit restrained in front of Ye Lan Yu and others, as if she was afraid of something.
"I know, but our identities are different." Zhen Xiao Yan said lightly.
"What's the big deal?" Ye Lang didn't understand.
"In short, it's related, but soon I'll be able to shorten the distance between us, and I'll become a formidable alchemist." Zhen Xiaoyan clenched her small fist and said seriously.
"?" Ye Lang didn't understand, he only knew that Zhen Xiao Yan had recently put a bit more effort into alchemy, unlike before when she mostly focused on cooking.
And he also found it strange that Zhen Xiaoyan suddenly said she wanted to participate in the competition, now it seems that there is some connection with this.
"I'll teach you and you can become awesome."
"No way, I still want to be famous, being famous will bring benefits!"
"Do you care about these?" Ye Lang understood that Zhen Xiao Yan didn't care about them at all.
"I care!" Zhen Xiao Yan hadn't thought of it, but for now, she could only say that.
"Does it make sense?" Ye Lang waved his hand.
"Got it!"
"I think you're just a flash in the pan, let's wait and see." Ye Lang didn't think Zhen Xiaoyan would last long because this wasn't suitable for her, but she did have some talent.
"Hmph! You dare to look down on me? I'll show you!" Zhen Xiaoyan said, pouting her small mouth in discontent.
While they were talking, things continued to be handed over, leaving the students on the side speechless, how much more is there, what have you done?
Of course, now everyone is just paying a little attention to this and will soon return to greetings and congratulations.
What?
At this time, most people were congratulating these students and their families, saying that they were really great for being able to enter this trial.
Take Ye Lan Yu for example, she is now being bothered by a group of people. She wants to pull Ye Lang over as a shield, but Ye Lang is currently busy receiving his food supply for the next year and has no time to bother with her.
Also because of this, Ye Lan Yu and Seventh Princess also parted ways, originally the two didn't get along well without Ye Lang around. It was such a situation that Seventh Princess had left early on.
And she also has her own people to deal with, she is a princess and the most noble among these students, naturally attracting attention.
Time is passing...
After a long wait, today's main course is finally on the table, the emperor has arrived!
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is your..."
Just as Yewang imagined, every time in such a situation, there would always be some polite nonsense, the only difference being the length of time, and this time the Emperor's words were not long, but absolutely could not be considered short.
"Now, let us set out for the pillars of our future empire, and open the banquet!"
"I've been waiting for you to say that!" Ye Lang pulled Zhen Xiaoyan, and soon met up with Ye Lan Yu, finding a place to sit down and finish this meal before parting ways, probably not seeing each other for a long time.
And the meal for the practice is also very simple, probably can't be finished in half an hour, it's a simple banquet.
"Strange, where's Little Seven?" Ye Lang couldn't find Seventh Princess till the end and felt a bit strange.
"I don't know, they were just gone a moment ago. Those princesses and princes are nowhere to be seen either, they should be inside, right?" Ye Lan Yu was not familiar with this custom, something that happened once every ten years, who would remember it clearly, especially since she was just a little girl ten years ago.
"Yè Làng's dish has a strange taste, let's not eat this!" Zhēn Xiǎo Yuān said with a frown after taking a bite of the dish.
"What's that weird taste? What taste, I didn't feel anything?" Ye Lang and Ye Lan Yu both couldn't taste it, and neither did anyone else in the room.
