Chapter 1755 - 719: New Year’s Day

Chapter 1755: Chapter 719: New Year’s Day

The main reason is that Zhou Wang indeed has some ’ghosts’ in his heart.

He knows Jiang Qingkui is too smart, so in order to smoothly complete the fourth round of actions and to lay more groundwork for a happy future, Zhou Wang adhered to the principle of performing a complete act, leaving Magic City without a word. He even intentionally chose Qin Island, a place with little interaction with them, just to complete his task in peace...

Distance creates beauty.

Especially with a clever-minded woman like Jiang Qingkui, spending time with her every day, she would always find something amiss, which is not conducive to Zhou Wang’s reverse tugging at her emotions.

From Jiang Qingkui’s action of abandoning her work and chasing to Beidou on New Year’s Eve, it shows Zhou Wang’s strategy was quite effective.

She was indeed a bit mentally disturbed.

It’s just... her IQ was clearly still online, she knew how to find Zhou Wang, even specifically went to wait for him at Beidou No.1 Courtyard.

And crucially, she really succeeded.

The senior and Qu Peining happened to be sent away as well.

This timing was unexpectedly very suitable.

At this moment, Zhou Wang had nowhere to escape, he could only passively accept the scrutiny of the proud big sister in front of him.

Her beautiful amber eyes always held more things... Zhou Wang had been reading the "Jiang Qingkui" book for too long, but in fact, until today, Zhou Wang still hadn’t fully understood her.

"Are you hungry?"

At this moment, Jiang Qingkui suddenly spoke up.

Zhou Wang, who was fully alert, preventing certain "interrogations" from Jiang Qingkui, was momentarily stunned when he suddenly heard her speak.

Why this kind of question...

"Uh, it’s okay, maybe... a bit?"

Zhou Wang, not knowing how to answer at once, went along with her words.

"Then sit down and wait a little, I’ll get you something to eat."

Jiang Qingkui, with a gentle expression, said as she tied her hair and walked into the kitchen.

"Uh, okay."

Jiang Qingkui’s sudden change in attitude left Zhou Wang a bit confused, so he followed her lead and sat on the sofa.

What left Zhou Wang more puzzled is that midway, Jiang Qingkui came back from the kitchen to pour him a glass of iced cola, then continued busying herself in the kitchen.

Why... today Jiang Qingkui is especially hard to read?

Not only did she not question Zhou Wang about anything, she instead posed as a kind little wife, which seemed like a side of Jiang Qingkui Zhou Wang had never seen.

Although Zhou Wang didn’t know if Jiang Qingkui was prepared in advance, he clearly remembered the fridge was short of ingredients, but in just a moment, the enticing aroma of delicious dishes wafted over from the kitchen.

Just in the time Zhou Wang smoked a cigarette and flipped through Douyin, Jiang Qingkui had already served the dishes on the table.

"Alright, let’s eat."

Jiang Qingkui took off her apron and called out to Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang sat down in the dining room and saw four dishes and a soup on the table.

Judging by their novel yet some slightly odd style, it was indeed Jiang Qingkui’s specialty fusion of Chinese and Western "innovative dishes"... Zhou Wang had tasted it once at Spring Eye before, and he remembered it being quite good. However, Jiang Qingkui rarely cooked, so Zhou Wang had only eaten it that one time.

Later on, he wanted Jiang Qingkui to cook him another table, but Jiang Qingkui was always running around, so Zhou Wang was hesitant to bother her with such requests.

"This is black pepper cheese beef roll, sliced braised beef in a Chinese style, paired with mozzarella cheese and black pepper sauce, then wrapped in spring roll pastry and fried..."

"This is cod baked with bean paste, I also used a bit of lemon juice, um, I’m trying it for the first time, see how it tastes."

"And this, lasagna with mapo tofu sauce... then this is roasted chicken smeared with fermented bean curd and butter... finally, a seasonal vegetable soup, though I’ve added some cream..."

Knowing that Zhou Wang might not understand the dishes she made, Jiang Qingkui explained in detail, going through each dish’s ingredients and techniques for Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang listened, but he wasn’t truly listening. To him, what he captured was the other information revealed in Jiang Qingkui’s words.

"When did you... arrive?"

Zhou Wang looked at Jiang Qingkui in a daze.

"More than an hour ago, I came over right after Jiang Mo’s performance ended."

"So you prepared all these ingredients in advance?"

Zhou Wang couldn’t help but ask, "But how did you know I’d come here? What if I didn’t, and anyhow you’d know I’d definitely be with the senior, wouldn’t the possibility of me going to Wanliu Academy be greater..."

"I wasn’t sure."

Jiang Qingkui shook her head, with a self-deprecating chuckle, "I just wanted to do it, take a gamble..."

"Gamble?"

Zhou Wang interrupted her, puzzled.

"Zhou Wang, do you remember those bets we made?"

"Of course I remember."

Zhou Wang recalled something, nodded, and smiled.

Betting... that’s where his and Jiang Qingkui’s relationship started to change.

The first time, he successfully performed a magic trick for Jiang Qingkui, then Jiang Qingkui had to play out a scene like those in Japanese plots, hiding a mischievous little thing inside her in broad daylight.

The second time was at the golf course in Hang City. Zhou Wang used some small tricks and won again; the bet wasn’t fulfilled until they returned to Ming City. That time was even more excessive, Zhou Wang directly had Jiang Qingkui perform a live Solo and joined her just as she was about to peak in her performance, marking their first intimate encounter...

Then there was the third time in Magic City, where Jiang Qingkui proposed a room-guessing bet. Zhou Wang gladly accepted the challenge, which was perhaps the closest they had ever been to losing themselves in passion.
