Jiang Yichen was deeply surprised to encounter Qin Ling at the audition site. Just after he’d tossed away a wealthy woman’s business card, Professor Qin, sporting a baseball cap and sunglasses, sauntered up to him…
It has to be said, Professor Qin’s aura was truly powerful. As soon as she arrived, the girls who had been trying to get his contact information immediately backed off.
Qin Ling first introduced the woman beside her, Fang Ruoyan.
Fang Ruoyan.
Jiang Yichen remembered her. He’d seen her described in the original novel as a little queen who enjoyed a particular lifestyle.
Back then, lacking sufficient knowledge, he’d had to search online to understand what that lifestyle entailed. Simply put, it involved a role reversal between genders, with the husband acting more like a wife and the wife more like a husband.
The male is the domestic partner, and the female is the breadwinner.
And it didn’t stop there; even in bed, there was a role reversal. The man was on the bottom, the woman on top…
Fang Ruoyan enjoyed this dynamic, and had a particular fondness for women dressed as men…
Jiang Yichen couldn’t help but imagine Shen Jie, the cross-dressing guy in his dorm, interacting with Fang Ruoyan.
Oof…
Perhaps his imagination wasn’t quite up to the task.
After the introductions, the three of them went to a barbecue restaurant on the fourth floor.
Jiang Yichen hadn’t intended to come; he’d even planned to have the leftover pickled cabbage fish soup with rice that night. But he couldn’t refuse Little Queen Fang’s enthusiastic invitation.
Fang Ruoyan: “Come on, Jiang, let’s have some barbecue with us.”
Jiang Yichen: “No, no, I still have some food at home.”
Fang Ruoyan: “But I’ve already bought a coupon on Meituan.”
Jiang Yichen: “It’s just leftovers, it’s fine if we don’t eat them. So, it’s barbecue, right? Well, I won’t hide it, barbecue is my specialty. Professor Qin and you just relax, I’ll handle the grilling.”
Fang Ruoyan: “Haha, you’re so funny, little brother.”
Fourth floor.
Barbecue restaurant.
The three chose a corner table.
Fang Ruoyan and Qin Ling sat down.
They were about to ask for some seasoning.
But Jiang Yichen stopped them.
“Lingling, your student is pretty good. How old is he?” Fang Ruoyan asked with interest.
Seeing Fang’s meaningful look, Qin Ling narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “Eighteen.”
“Oh~~ Eighteen~~” Fang Ruoyan licked her lips, “Of age.”
Bang—
Qin Ling hadn’t controlled her strength well.
A teacup in her hand instantly shattered.
The sharp sound startled Fang Ruoyan. She withdrew her gaze from Jiang Yichen’s back… then met Qin Ling’s stunningly beautiful eyes.
“Fang Ruoyan, what are you trying to do?” Qin Ling asked in a low voice, “He’s my… student!”
Gulp…
Fang Ruoyan swallowed hard, her survival instincts kicking in, “Calm down, Miss Qin, I have no other intentions towards your student…”
In fact, she had had a slight interest. Jiang Yichen was quite handsome, right up her alley.
But now, after seeing Qin Ling crush a teacup with her bare hands, that interest vanished instantly.
Forget it, better to be safe than sorry.
She had witnessed Qin Ling’s fighting prowess firsthand—she could dent a steel plate with one hand.
Her small frame wouldn’t last more than a few punches.
What a pity; Jiang Yichen was Qin Ling’s student…
“Oh, Lingling,” Fang Ruoyan quickly pledged her loyalty, “Do I look like Liu Rong? Would I go after a boy almost ten years younger than me? Don’t misunderstand!”
Qin Ling raised an eyebrow, “Watch your words…”
Before Qin Ling could finish, a waiter noticed something was wrong and approached.
Jiang Yichen also came over, making Qin Ling a dipping sauce.
The dipping sauce bowls at this barbecue restaurant were rectangular with four compartments. Usually, the four compartments would have different seasonings like five-spice powder, spicy powder, barbecue sauce, satay sauce…
But knowing Professor Qin’s taste, Jiang Yichen filled all four compartments with a sauce he’d created…
He didn’t put as much effort into Fang Ruoyan’s bowl; he just added some five-spice powder, spicy powder, and barbecue sauce…
“What happened here?”
As soon as Jiang Yichen returned, he saw shattered teacups all over the table…
Two waitresses were cleaning up.
“It broke,” Qin Ling replied.
“Huh???” Jiang Yichen was dumbfounded.
“I’m so sorry, so sorry, I apologize to you guests. Let me comp your meal…” the owner apologized, completely shocked. She had never encountered such a situation before.
She’d checked the security footage; Qin Ling’s teacup had shattered suddenly.
This scared her.
In all her years running a restaurant, she’d never seen this happen before.
Thankfully no one was hurt, and there were no injuries, otherwise, she would have had to pay medical expenses…
“It’s fine,” Qin Ling waved her hand casually.
Except for her, only Fang Ruoyan knew that the teacup hadn’t broken on its own…
After the little incident.
The master griller, Jiang Yichen, was at work.
The meat sizzled on the charcoal.
Meanwhile, the cilantro and pungent vinegar in Qin Ling’s dipping sauce bowl sent Fang Ruoyan into deep thought…
She hadn’t thought much of it before.
But now, something felt off.
Even if it was out of concern for her student, it was a bit excessive; to actually crush a teacup…
And how did Jiang Yichen know Qin Ling liked vinegar and cilantro?
This was not normal!
Suddenly, a bold guess flashed through Fang Ruoyan’s mind…
Could it be?!
No way?!
Miss Qin… you!!!
Perhaps because the guess was so shocking, Fang Ruoyan’s eyes widened.
“Here you go, Professor Qin, Professor Fang, please try.”
Jiang Yichen put the grilled meat into the two women’s bowls.
He respectfully addressed Fang Ruoyan as Professor Fang.
“Mm.” Qin Ling dipped the meat in her special sauce and put it in her mouth.
The sourness was perfect, the meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, complemented by the cilantro.
Delicious!
This kid really knew her taste!
Fang Ruoyan looked at the meat in her bowl, then at Qin Ling…
Then, she used her chopsticks to pick up some meat and put it into Qin Ling’s bowl, saying, “Lingling, you eat. I’m watching my weight; I’ll just have some vegetables.”
Then, she picked up an ear of corn and put it on the grill to roast…
