Translator's Note: Happy 100th Chapter, everyone! 🎉 To celebrate those who have been with me from the beginning, I'll be releasing bonus chapters today AND tomorrow! 2/5   Chapter 101: Disdain      Ying Sisi lowered her eyelashes and looked at the young man's broad back. She hesitated for a moment and bent her knees, ready to lie down.   “It's not good to ride in the bike while I'm carrying you.”  Qin Yanci suddenly stood up straight. “Let's hold you instead.”   Ying Sisi was very shy.  It's too intimate to hold someone in public, right? But if I refuse him, he will lose face.  She nodded.   Qin Yanci wrapped his arms around her waist and held her horizontally.   Everyone started to make a fuss.   Oh!   The groom is holding the bride.   Ying Sisi covered her face with her hands.   Qin Yanci lowered his head and whispered, “I've hired a photographer.  If you cover your face like that, how can we take pictur...

Translator's Note: Happy 100th Chapter, everyone! 🎉 To celebrate those who have been with me from the beginning, I'll be releasing bonus chapters today AND tomorrow! 1/5   Chapter 100: Very Beautiful     “Sister Sisi is so beautiful. When I grow up, will you be my bride? I'll give you all my salary.”   “Haha...” Everyone burst into laughter.   “Who did your makeup? Your blush is too heavy. Why didn't you make your hair symmetrical?” Li Yuwei walked over and said with a hint of disdain.   Ying Sisi's smile gradually faded. “I did it myself. I didn't put on any blush. I did my hair on purpose. What's wrong?”   She had spent a lot of time on her hair.   At first, it was two braids.   It looked kind of rustic and kind of modern, strange and odd with this outfit.   A ponytail wouldn't look right either.   She could let her hair down, but it didn't seem like there was a precedent for brides to wear their hair down.   “You ...

  Chapter 31: Murky and Unclear Kong Yiyue leaned down with lightning speed and placed a kiss on his slightly warm lips.   In the large private room, even the sound of breathing seemed to stop with that kiss. On the LCD screen, the female singer sang sentimentally, one line after another:   “Haven't properly felt The climate of blooming snowflakes We shiver together Will understand better What tenderness is...”   The lyrics were lingering and ambiguous. Kong Yiyue's lips lingered on his handsome lips for a moment, and then she got up and left.   Fu Jinting maintained his original posture, the corners of his eyes slightly raised. He did not scold her for her indecent behavior, his eyes fixed on her.   Kong Yiyue felt a little guilty under his gaze. “Sorry, I made you suffer the punishment with me.” Although her words were full of apology, because of the close distance between the two, her sly look, with her eyes like silk, fell frankly into his eyes.   ...

  Chapter 28: Seriously Ill     Chen Fan carefully thought about it. Maybe his teaching level included the times when he trained new employees at the company before. If that were the case, it would make much more sense.   But compared to Cooking and Beast Language, he didn't value this Teaching Skill much.   He was still an unregistered person, and the most important thing was that his origins were unknown. Who would he teach? Who would dare to let him teach? He couldn't go door-to-door teaching people how to cook, could he?   So this skill was likely useless, and he put it out of his mind.   Braised soft-shelled turtle didn't need to be steamed for one or two hours like steamed dishes, but it still needed to be simmered for about 15 minutes. He put the lid on the pot, turned the heat down low in the stove, and while waiting, he squatted on the ground and chatted with the big yellow dog amidst the strange gazes of the people around him.   "Woof wo...

  Chapter 27: First Time Teaching     The soft-shelled turtles were soaked in cold water and scrubbed clean with rice straw brushes. The washed ones were placed in a wooden basin, and then a dirty one was taken from the bamboo basket and washed.   I don't know if they went to dig the pond early in the morning, but there were dozens of large soft-shelled turtles piled up in the bamboo basket, and even small ones the size of a palm.   Chen Fan held up the small soft-shelled turtle, turned his head, and looked at Captain Yang, "Why did you catch even these small ones?"   Captain Yang tilted his head and grinned, "It's not like hunting or fishing, where you catch the big ones and let the small ones go. These things eat fish fry, they're harmful pests, so of course we have to catch them all."   Chen Fan made a face, his eyes fixed on the small soft-shelled turtle, "But these things don't have any meat."   Accountant Liu puffed on his self-rolled...

  Chapter 99: Secretly Smiling     Ying Sisi smiled shyly. “You're flattering me. I'm afraid I'll get cold.”   Qin Yanci took out a scarf and draped it over her shoulders. “Wrap this around yourself on the way to block the wind.”   Sisi nodded.   Qin Yanci then took out a pair of bracelets and put them on her wrists. “Wear them.”   Sisi said, “You even prepared jewelry for me? The patterns are so delicate. What are they made of?” It looked like gold, but it wasn't.   The gold in the department store counters was brighter than this.   “Gold. What? Do you think it's old?” His face turned cold again.   “No, no, no. I'm just curious about the material. I like it. I can't wait to wear it.” Sisi hurriedly explained. She knew she was lacking in knowledge and didn't know much, but she could appreciate good things. The bracelets were old, but the patterns carved on them were very fine.   They might have faded with age.   Was it ...

  Chapter 98: Saving Money     The husband and wife argued all night.   They both lost. They didn't even have dinner.   Sisi ate until she was full. The next day, when the sun was shining brightly at noon, she went to the family housing complex.   Qin Yanci opened the door.   “Wife, what good stuff did you bring?”   “This is honey for you. This is for my grandma in the countryside. I'm going to make her a cotton coat. I haven't finished it yet. I came over to use your sewing machine. Have you eaten?” Sisi put the things down.   “I was just about to go out to eat.”   “There's food at home. Why don't you cook?” Sisi went into the kitchen to wash her hands and prepare food.   Qin Yanci said, “I'd waste a lot of time if I cooked all three meals.”   Sisi thought about it. A decent meal takes at least an hour.   She started cooking the rice and made a pot of braised fish. She served some and said, “A-Ci, it's time to eat.”...
