Chapter 329: Response
Now, she felt a sense of sudden enlightenment. It turned out that up until now, she had been completely ignorant—there were still so many things and intricacies to learn!
She resolved to continue studying when she returned, focused on how to improve her skills. Her eyes were glued to Xiao Yi’s every move, trying to remember all of his steps and actions. Even if she couldn’t remember them all, she would recall as much as she could.
Xiao Yi was naturally aware of Li Ling’s unblinking stare, but he didn’t mind her "peeping" behavior. In fact, when possible, he deliberately slowed down a bit so she could see more clearly and understand better.
"Done!"
Finally, Xiao Yi once again finished cooking the food, stopped his movements, and said with a smile. He first handed over the food to the two customers and then passed Li Ling her share.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Li Ling took the food from Xiao Yi, and immediately, a wave of fragrance hit her. She had already smelled the aroma before, but now, bringing the food close to her face, she realized that what she had previously smelled wasn’t even one tenth as fragrant as the real aroma of the food!
"Try it, see if it’s good or not, hehe."
Xiao Yi smiled, his face showing a hint of pride.
In his eyes, this food was like his artwork, and the most important test of this artwork was undoubtedly the taste that came after eating it. He had some expectations about how his hard work would turn out.
"Mmm!"
Li Ling lifted a skewer and took a gentle bite.
In an instant, her expression changed dramatically. She could feel a rich flavor spreading in her mouth, almost numbingly delicious. Biting into the firm slice of meat felt like savoring its freshness and tenderness.
Almost immediately, she could confirm that this was the best barbeque she had ever eaten in her life so far!
"Xiao Yi, you are amazing!"
It took her a while to lift her head in surprise and look at Xiao Yi, "I never imagined that your barbeque could be this delicious!"
"Hehe, it’s just a hobby, barely palatable, I guess."
Seeing Li Ling’s expression, Xiao Yi finally put his mind at ease.
"Xiao Yi, you are being too modest. If this level is barely palatable, then you really put us to shame. What we were eating before was downright inedible!"
Li Ling shook her head, her face showing genuine admiration. Just watching him barbeque felt impressive, but tasting it was even better than she had imagined. No wonder the two other customers had specifically asked for extra skewers. Even she wanted to eat more.
Looking at Xiao Yi’s expression, Li Ling sighed thoughtfully, "Xiao Yi, any girl who marries you will be incredibly lucky!"
"Hey handsome, do you have a girlfriend? We can introduce you to one."
"Yeah, yeah, handsome, our factory has lots of beautiful girls."
As soon as the two female customers heard Li Ling’s words, their eyes immediately lit up with gossip.
"Cut it out, you guys, just drop it. Do you think my friend sells kebabs or something? He’s actually a university student at Z University, just a freshman. He’s not suitable for your factory,"
Li Ling teased them with a smile.
"Oh oh..."
"Wow... who would’ve thought the handsome guy was so impressive!"
"......"
"Hehe."
Listening to the three girls’ chattering and laughter, a faint smile crossed Xiao Yi’s face, but in the corners of his eyes, there was a hint of bitterness that none of them noticed.
Would the girl who marries him be receiving her greatest blessing?
It’s probably her greatest sorrow...
And how could there possibly be any happiness to speak of if she were to follow someone like him?
Naturally, these were not thoughts he would share with them.
After standing around for a while and watching the two customers leave, he untied the apron wrapped around him and prepared to say goodbye to Li Ling.
"Li Ling, you should really consider what I just said. Tang Feng is genuinely a nice guy, and he truly likes you a lot. If you reject him because of his parents’ issues, it will really put him in a lot of pain. Besides, I don’t think it’s necessary at all. As long as you two truly love each other, many difficulties can be overcome. And about his parents, I will seriously help you to persuade them."
Before leaving, Xiao Yi brought up the topic again; it was a very important reason for his visit. Moreover, after this meeting, he had even more confidence in her and even greater admiration and agreement. He truly hoped that she would end up with Tang Feng, to make their pair complete.
Even more, he had decided that to make this match happen, if he could not convince Fatty Tang’s parents and prepare their mindset, he was ready to go against his previous principles and ask for help from Chen Jianguo or even Elder Han to work on them.
Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Li Ling, who had been enjoying her food, suddenly stopped, and the smile vanished from her face. She quietly put down her food, pursed her lips lightly, her expression changing back and forth.
Xiao Yi did not press her; he just stood to the side silently, watching her, waiting for her response.
"Xiao Yi, thank you. I appreciate your kindness. Please tell Tang Feng that he truly is a good guy and that he should have more confidence in himself. He will definitely find his own happiness in the future, and I... will always sincerely wish him well,"
After a long while, Li Ling finally lifted her head, looking at Xiao Yi with a resolute expression in her eyes.
"Sigh..."
Xiao Yi let out a soft sigh. In the end, Li Ling had given such an answer, which, in his heart, he both expected and hoped not to hear.
Seeing Li Ling’s expression, he said nothing more. He didn’t know why Li Ling would choose this way after he had said so much. But since she had made her decision, it was not his place to force her into anything.
