my delicious love formula

Chapter 15 State Banquet
In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and the training for the state banquet was tense and busy, during which Simi watched several chefs being ruthlessly eliminated.

The cooks who participated in the state banquet will be subject to political review, and the higher-ups will also send people to Ximi's hometown to investigate.

Simi was very worried that the old man Xi would trip him up.

When the big brother Zou Chengfeng called, Simi was studying in the French class and forgot to turn off the phone, so that the eyes of the students and the teacher all focused on her, making her the focus.

The French teacher was a little angry: "Student, everyone's time is precious, please turn off the mute before entering the classroom."

Simi hung up the phone apologetically and continued to listen to the class.

The man at the same table poked her arm with the end of his pen: "I think you look familiar, are you Sisi Ximi from the gourmet variety show?"

Simi coughed and asked her back: "Do I look like Simi?"

The man at the same table looked at her carefully, tapped his chin with the tail of a pen and said, "It's a bit similar, but you are thinner than her. What do you usually eat? Your parents don't feel sorry for being so thin?"

"Really..." Simi looked down at his figure.

The first thought that popped up was... Will Ying Quhe dislike her small breasts?

So what was going on in her head?
The past month has been really busy, and I have to come here to study every day after the kitchen training, and I hardly have a good dinner.

after class.

Simi waited on the side of the road for Zhou Ming to pick him up by car, and called Zou Chengfeng back. When the call was connected, Simi timidly said "Hello".

"Simi." Zou Chengfeng didn't talk nonsense, and said straightforwardly: "Master already knows that you are attending the state banquet, and someone from your family has already come to investigate."

"Oh." Simi kicked the street lamp with his toe, making a dull sound.

Zou Chengfeng said: "Simi, when you get married, bring Mr. Ying back to meet him, and the family will sit down and have a meal together."

"He doesn't even recognize me as a granddaughter, so what am I going to do?"

On the phone, Zou Chengfeng's voice was slightly hoarse, "Master has been in poor health recently, and he often wakes up coughing at night. His temper is a bit stubborn, but you are his only relative."

Simi frowned, and took a small breath to adjust his emotions: "Brother, if you want to tell me this, then I will hang up."

Zou Chengfeng was a little helpless, and it took a while before he hummed: "Okay, goodbye."

Simi hung up the phone and turned around, seeing the little brother at the same table behind him.The brother at the same table called her: "Rachel? Didn't you get a taxi? Shall I see you?"

Goose feather snow drifted down, and the ground was covered with a layer of white after a while.The snow fell on Simmy's hat, and it took a long time to melt.

Simi was wearing a knee-length down jacket and snow boots that reached to his knees. He did a good job of keeping warm.Only the ears and neck are a little cold.

She pulled the hat down, covering her ears and covering her eyebrows.She thought for a while, but didn't remember the name of the brother at the same table, she shook her head and said politely: "No need, the person who picks me up will be there soon."

The boy at the same table was a little disappointed: "Is it a boyfriend?"

Simi shook his head.

The brother at the same table showed a look of joy in his eyes.

Simi rubbed her hands together, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My husband."

"..." The little brother at the same table felt sad.

No matter how she looks like a college student, she actually has a husband?
The snow fell harder and harder, and Simi shrank her neck in the cold, and suddenly there was a black umbrella on top of her head.She turned around, and Ying Quhe appeared behind her in a black mask and a black wool coat.He wore a light brown scarf to wrap himself tightly.

His hat is still black, and the umbrella in his hand is also black. The steady color highlights his cool temperament.

Simi felt that it was a pity that Ying Qu and not going to be a model, whether it was a hat, a scarf, or an umbrella in his hand, could all become expensive because of his smudged temperament.

Simi smiled at him, and the sweet and creamy breath almost overflowed from a pair of dimples.

The male deskmate smiled awkwardly when he saw Ying Quhe, and knew the relationship between the two without asking.

Ying Quhe looked down at Simi, his clear voice pierced through the thin mask, "wife."

"..." His wife called out so calmly, Simi didn't want to talk to him.Simi took his arm and said to the boy at the same table: "I'll go first, see you tomorrow."

The little brother looked blank: "Tomorrow...see you tomorrow."

The sprout of secret love will be destroyed as soon as it is said, the little brother is so stuffed that he can't help himself.

On the way back, Simi opened his notebook, and while doing his homework, he responded to Qu He and said, "The exam is coming soon. I have to work harder on my revision. Bless me, I won't be eliminated."

Ying Quhe stared straight ahead and said to her in French:
——You are so good, you will not be eliminated.

Simmy also tried to communicate with him in rough French.Ying Quhe corrected some of her grammatical mistakes. After returning home, Ying Quhe called her into the study and handed her a notebook.

Simi sat on the tatami and opened it. The pen writing on it was neat and elegant, and listed some common sentences at state banquets.She flipped through it casually, and these sentences actually amounted to more than 20 pages.

It was all in response to music and handwriting, and he wrote down all the dialogues that might be used at that time.

Simi has a good command of English and can learn French quickly, but it is still a bit difficult to reach the level of proficient communication in a short period of time.So he sorted out some common sentences for Simi, even if it is memorized by rote, it is better than the step-by-step French class.

After getting Ying Quhe's notebook, Simi felt as if he had found a treasure, and put his arms around his neck and kissed him.

Ying Quhe entangled her, hugged her and sat on his lap, and kissed her carefully.Before his body was set on fire, Simi quickly pushed him away, slid off his lap, sat cross-legged on the tatami, and began to read his notes seriously.

Every word and sentence in the notebook has become the response to the song and the little touch written for her.If this is a love letter, it must be the most beautiful love letter.

In order not to disturb Yingqu and work, Simi went back to the room with a notebook in his hand, sat on the bed and carefully memorized these common kitchen sentences.It was two o'clock in the morning when Ying Quhe finished reading the work documents, and when he returned to his room, he found light leaking from Simi's room.

When I got closer, I heard no sound inside.

The door was slightly pushed open, and Ying Quhe walked in lightly, and saw Simi curled up on the bed with a notebook in his arms, already asleep.He walked over and pulled the quilt to cover her. Simi suddenly sat up holding the notebook, rubbed his eyes and handed the notebook over: "What does this word mean?"

With a sudden shock, Ying Qu and his heart trembled in fright.

"Matsutake." Ying Quhe held her shoulders and asked her to continue lying down.

Simi sat up again holding the notebook, and turned over two pages: "What about this? Can you read it to me? I always feel that my pronunciation is a bit strange."

Ying Quhe frowned, snatched the notebook from her hand, and put it on the bedside table: "Miss Xi, it's already two o'clock, do you want to sleep tonight?"

Simi said disapprovingly, "Recently I only go to bed at two or three o'clock."

Ying Quhe was slightly taken aback, no wonder she wakes up listless every morning.

She was already thin, but after half a month of tossing, she became even thinner.Ying Quhe pinched her thin arm, worried that when she was weighing the pot, her thin hand would not be able to bear the weight of the iron pot and would break...

He was so thin that he felt distressed.

Simi was also a little unhappy, and muttered: "What's so fierce? Didn't I study hard? If I fail the language test, all my previous efforts will be in vain!"

Ying Quhe lay down beside her, and pulled her into his arms, "Simmy, I respect your dreams, and please respect my feelings. Have a good sleep tonight, okay? Otherwise, I will be very distressed .”

"Okay, then I'll go to sleep." Simi held his face and kissed him on the forehead, "You too, go to bed early every day, don't work too hard, or I will feel bad."

Simi raised his hand to turn off the light, arched into his arms, and hugged him: "Sleep together."

Ying Quhe closed her eyes, rubbed the tip of her nose against her forehead, and the soft fragrance of the girl's body lingered in the air she breathed.

With Yingqu and this cheat, Simi easily passed the language test for the state banquet.Simi and Liu Yang performed well during the training period, and both of them successfully won the places of two chefs.

There are five dishes and one soup for the state banquet, and the cooking of the five dishes uses a combination of Chinese and Western cooking. Simi has almost zero knowledge of Western cooking, which is her weakness, so she is only in charge of soup.

Under the suggestion of Li Guoliang and other chefs, Simi improved Sibao soup and successfully innovated dishes.All their ingredients are airlifted from all over China, and the ingredients for the state banquet meal cannot exceed 6 hours from picking to transportation.

Three months later, one week before the state banquet, Simi and other chefs stayed in Ziyun Villa.

Due to the special form, all the luggage she brought was confiscated, even the underwear and toiletries were issued by the above.The mobile phone was confiscated, and Simi was completely isolated from the outside world. He could neither call Ying Quhe nor send him voice messages.

The state banquet starts at 05:30 pm, and the chefs start to go to the kitchen at [-]:[-] in the morning.

When entering the kitchen, she has to go through a security check, stripped for inspection. Simi was quite shy at first, but the female security check comforted her and said, "Don't be shy, just imagine us as boyfriends."

"..." Simi took off her clothes, imagining that she was naked in front of Ying Quhe, and she became even more shy...

In the afternoon, under the leadership of Li Guoliang, several groups of chefs began to work in an orderly manner. Everyone divided the work carefully, and the order of serving dishes was exactly the same as the time controlled by the previous training.

There are five dishes and one soup for the state banquet, double-flavored raw shrimp balls, fried and braised snowflake beef, stir-fried fresh strips with summer fruits, soy-flavored flounder, Nestle fried lamb fillet and four-treasure soup.

Simi’s four-treasure soup is a very innovative attempt. Matsutake, yam, Hericium erinaceus, and beef tendon are first blanched in onion and ginger juice, then soaked in rich chicken broth, and finally poured into a white porcelain soup pot with golden dragon elements .

The chairman and the first lady had already taken their seats with the guests, until a cook shouted: "Serve the cold dishes, and the four-treasure soup is ready!"

Simi just started to do the rest of the process. Cook the choy sum prepared by the chef in water and oil, add chicken broth to taste, and pour it into the soup pot.After all, she was a chef in charge of the spoon in the Xijia restaurant, and she was quite domineering and imposing when directing the cooks. When she was cooking and mobilizing people, no one thought she was a little girl, but regarded her as a person with both ability and courage. female conductor.

Liu Yang admired Simi very much. Once she entered the kitchen, she changed completely.Before entering the kitchen, she was a charming young lady, but when she stepped into the kitchen, she became a majestic female general.

As the opening dish, a cup of Bishengsheng Sibaotang was presented by the service staff.

Sibao soup is the painstaking effort of Simi's entire team. Seeing the soup being presented, she and the people below were so nervous that they could hardly breathe.

The moment the guests opened the lid of the stewing pot, a burst of aroma and dense mist sprayed out, and two golden dragons seemed to fly out of the green jade.

In addition to the four seasonings and bread and butter at the state banquet, there will be no more than two dishes in front of the guests during the serving process.Simi's Four Treasure Soup, as a pure Chinese cooking dish, is well received by foreign guests.

After receiving the good news from the waiter, Simi and her team members were completely relaxed.This time the state banquet was very successful, and the kitchen staff cooperated very well. From the main course to the dessert after the meal, it was well received.

This time at the state banquet, Simi didn't use a word of French he learned.But she didn't feel any pity at all. The moment Simi came out of Ziyun Villa, Simi took a deep breath of air, as if her soul had been sublimated.

She had never thought of being able to attend a state banquet before, and only after she got to know Ying Quhe did she feel that she might be able to do it, and she might be able to set this goal.

Looking back on this journey, Simi himself felt a little unbelievable.

Probably with excellent people, it will really become better and better.She is very glad that she did not succumb to her fate, and did not follow Old Man Xi's arrangement to marry the elder brother.

After all, Old Man Xi was still selfish. After his son passed away, all hopes of inheritance were concentrated on his adopted apprentice, Zou Chengfeng.One is an unmarried apprentice, and the other is a gifted granddaughter. The combination of two is the most perfect for him.

After the apprentice became the son-in-law, he changed his surname to Xi, which could not only inherit the culinary skills of the Xi family, but also prevent his granddaughter from marrying away and stay by his side forever.

But it was this kind of selfishness that pushed Simmy farther and farther.

After the state banquet, Simi returned to Jinyang with everyone.At the gate of Ziyun Mountain Villa, Li Guoliang took the chefs into the bus and prepared to go back to the city, while Simi sat on the suitcase, waiting for Ying Quhe to pick her up.

Li Guoliang asked her: "Are you really not going back by car with us?"

Simi shook her head: "I'll wait for my boyfriend to pick me up."

Liu Yang pushed the suitcase over and asked her, "Can I go back with your car? I want the autograph of Food Road."

Simi grinned: "Yes, but I think you will be kicked out of the car by him."

"Did my colleague not give me this little face after so long? Did you agree to let me touch the food?" Liu Yang suddenly felt sorry for himself, and got into the car in despair.

After they left, Simi waited under the streetlight for another half an hour, and Ying Quhe's car was stuck in the city.

Simi talked to him on the phone with a headset on: "If you were riding a motorcycle, there wouldn't be such a traffic jam."

Ying Quhe rolled down the car window, looked at the motionless car queue ahead, and said to Simi in the headset, "I'll make a phone call first."

After hanging up the phone, Ying Quhe called Zhou Ming and asked him to come on a motorcycle.

He threw the car to Zhou Ming, and rode his motorcycle to Ziyun Villa.

Zhou Ming looked at the boss who left in a hurry, and felt that after the boss fell in love, the whole person went crazy...

First, I shaved my head a few days ago, but now I have finally grown my hair, but I am riding a motorcycle in the cold wind?

It is said that people in love are fools.Zhou Ming thought his boss was crazy.

Simi sat on the suitcase and slid back and forth on the pulleys. Not long after, a motorcycle stopped not far from her, and its lights flashed at her.

Simi looked at the man on the motorcycle. He hadn't seen him for a week, and someone was so handsome again...

She pushed the suitcase and ran over, looked at the motorcycle, then at the suitcase, and asked, "What about my suitcase?"

Ying Quhe glanced at the guard room of the villa, and said, "It's left in the guard room, and Zhou Ming will come to pick it up later."

Well.

Simi stored the suitcase and was about to step on the back seat of the motorcycle when she came back. Ying Qu and her backhand dragged her to the front.

Ying Quhe took off her scarf, put it on her, wrapped her nose and mouth tightly, and finally pulled down her hat until only her pair of dark eyes were exposed, and she was completely relieved, " Get in the car."

Simi stepped into the back seat, put her face on his back, and hugged his waist.

The motorcycle roared down the hillside and entered the city, but the long queue of cars remained motionless.Simi's hands were already frozen, and her lower body was numb and unconscious. When the song and speed slowed down, she said tremblingly, "Daosun, I'm so cold... How long will it be before I get home?"

Ying Quhe stopped the motorcycle by the side of the road, and took Simmy into a cafe-style bar.There is coffee, music, and wine.The flowers and plants in the room were growing lushly, Ying Quhe led her to sit on the sofa in the corner, held her and rubbed her hands together, and cheered her up, "How is it? Is there anything better?"

Simi's hands were only numb from the cold, while Ying Quhe's hands were reddened by the wind, and should be painful after touching the hot air.Ying Quhe unbuttoned her coat, lifted the clothes inside, and stuffed her hands into it.

Her hands pressed against the muscles of his abdomen, and the warm air made her hands warm immediately.Simi was so moved by the heat of his body temperature that he asked him, "Aren't you cold?"

Ying Quhe smiled: "It's cold, but my heart is warm."

The ambiguous background music and dim lights in the coffee shop made Simi courageous. She took the initiative to lean forward, bit his lips, kissed him mischievously, and let go.

Ying Quhe held the back of her head and wanted to attack back, but was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.

Simi answered the phone disappointedly, and the caller ID was Zou Chengfeng.She glanced at Ying Quhe as if asking for help.

"Take it."

Simi pursed her lips and connected the phone.

The person on the other end of the phone took a few deep breaths and said to her, "Ximi, go back to Jialing tonight."

Simi resolutely refused: "No reply."

Zou Chengfeng: "Master is seriously ill. The doctor said that he may not be able to survive tonight."

The air in the cafe is warm, but Simi's fingertips are as cold as no temperature.

After hanging up the phone, Simi looked at Qu and agreed.He held her hand, "I'll book a ticket right away and accompany you back."

Simi pursed the corners of her lips. She didn't know what to say to him at this time. After a moment of emptiness, she said to him, "Thank you."

An hour later, Ying Quhe accompanied her on the plane to Tangxi Ancient Town.

The plane takes off.

Simi sat near the porthole, leaning his head on the window frame, looking at the city lights below, feeling a little sad suddenly.Thinking of the first time he flew by plane, flying back to China from the United States, the flight of more than ten hours was a kind of torture for the old man Xi. His face was pale and his speech was weak during the whole process.

Eight-year-old little Simi lay on the porthole watching the sea of ​​clouds billowing outside. He grabbed old man Xi's finger, shook it, and said to him in English: "Grandpa, look quickly, it's very cloudy."

Old man Xi couldn't understand English, so he stroked her little head and asked her to sit down.

At that time Simi could not understand Chinese either.

The old man's eyebrows and eyes were too serious, and Simi felt that the old man was a little angry, so he sat down resentfully.She was so bored, she glanced at the pale old man secretly, and poked him with her short fingers: "Grandpa, why don't mom and dad go to China with us?"

It's not that old man Xi doesn't want to get close to his granddaughter, but it's really hard to communicate with his granddaughter without the translator.

When Xi Mi and Ying Quhe arrived at the city hospital, the old man Xi had already been pushed into the ICU.All the seniors leaned silently in the corridor, seeing Simi, the usual chatter was gone.

Zou Chengfeng walked over, glanced over Ying Quhe, and finally landed on Simi: "You are here."

Simi pursed her lips and nodded: "Well, where is Grandpa, is he... all right?"

Zou Chengfeng took her to the door and looked in through the glass on the ICU door. The old man Xi was covered with tubes, lying there like a lifeless mummy.

"Gastric cancer is in the advanced stage, and he has been ill for a long time. He has a stubborn temper and won't let us tell you." Zou Chengfeng sighed and said, "But before entering the ICU, the last thing he said was your name. Now he has fallen into a severe coma. Do you... want to go in and have a word with him?"

Simi curled his fingers weakly, his fingertips were cold.

Ying Quhe hugged her shoulders, giving her warmth.

Her eye circles were slightly red, she took a small breath, adjusted her emotions, and asked the doctor, "Can I go in?"

The doctor said: "The patient can only maintain his vital signs in the ICU. It is impossible to say anything to you. But you can say a few words to the patient so that the old man can go away peacefully."

Simi nodded and hummed, followed the doctor to disinfect and change the gown.

There was silence in the ward. If it wasn't for the fact that the life-indicating instrument was still fluctuating, she would have suspected that Old Man Xi was dead.

Simi went in alone, walked to the bed, and looked at the old man in disbelief.

The old man in her impression of being hale and hearty with piercing eyes was now shockingly thin.The eyes and cheeks are sunken, and the old skin covered with age spots is wrapped in bones, like a mummy.

What Zou Chengfeng said to her just now echoed in her ears:
"Master said, I hope you will live a good life in the future, and I hope you can take over the Xijia restaurant. He said that he dared not admit his failure until the end of his life. His stubbornness all his life, in exchange for his son staying away and his granddaughter running away from home. He regretted it. No matter whether you accept it or not, he wants to say sorry to you."

The electrocardiograph suddenly issued a piercing alarm:
"Di-"

The sudden sound broke the silence of the ward, Simi shouted: "Doctor!"

Doctors and nurses rushed in, Simi was knocked away by the nurses who came in, and almost fell down.The nurse pushed her out, and the door slammed shut, completely isolating her from Old Man Xi.

Simi leaned on the glass to watch what was going on inside.

The doctor inside patted Old Man Xi's shoulders and shouted his name, but he didn't respond.

ECG monitoring showed that Xi Wendao had ventricular fibrillation.Doctor: "The patient needs to be rescued, prepare for defibrillation!"

Simi's face was pressed against the cold and hard glass, and finally he couldn't control his emotions, and tears fell down.

Ying Quhe reached out to cover her eyes, and pulled her into his arms.

After a few minutes.

The doctor came out, took off his mask and told them regretfully: "We did our best, and the patient passed away peacefully."

The string tightly tied to Simi's brain broke with a "snap", and he almost fainted out of breath in Yingquhe's arms.

The joy after the state banquet was washed away, and her mind was full of old man Xi's dying, skinny appearance.

In her memory, this old man was paranoid and decisive. Except for his bad legs, his physical fitness was very good.She never thought that old man Xi would fall down one day.

Old man Xi has always been a rigid iron plate in her heart, always standing tall.

He fell so suddenly that she didn't even have a chance to show it off to him.He didn't even have a chance to stand in front of him and say, "Bad old man, did you see that? I'm the chef for the state banquet now!"

She also wanted to marry Ying Quhe gracefully, and let the old man see how wise she was when she chose to escape marriage.

The more he thought about it, the more distressed Simi became.

Recalling that when she first arrived in China, the climate was not acclimatized, and she had a high fever in the middle of the night.

It was old man Xi and grandma who drove her to the county hospital by motorcycle in the middle of the night.

It was too dark that night, and there was a section of the road that was difficult to walk, and the motorcycle fell into the ditch.Grandma jumped out of the car with Simi in her arms and suffered only minor injuries, but old man Xi's leg was crushed and fractured by a heavy object, leaving behind the sequelae of lameness.

The old man Xi adopted many orphans as apprentices. At that time, China's economy did not keep up, and the business of Xi's restaurant was not very good. It was very difficult to raise a large family.

She still remembers the most difficult years, when she was always hungry, the elder brother and grandma always secretly left half of the steamed buns for her.

Old man Xi hated who wasted the most in his life.

One time, Simi casually threw away half a bunch of candied haws leftovers, and when Old Man Xi saw him, he not only slapped her, but even asked her to pick it up and eat it.

Simi still remembers how wronged he was at that time, and now he still remembers how much he hated old man Xi at that time.Hate him for letting her pick up candied haws and eat them.

But remembering now, the hatred when I was a child is really not worth mentioning.She was relieved of everything.

She shouldn't waste it, no wonder the old man is strict.

The old man wanted her to marry Zou Chengfeng, but it was also to abide by the rule of the Xi family that the males should not be passed on the females.

According to the rules of the Xi family, she had no chance to learn how to cook, but the old man Xi made an exception for her.

To a certain extent, the rigid feudal old man Xi still loves her.

Before Xi Wendao died, he had his will notarized by a lawyer, and the property of the Xi family was inherited by Xi Mi.

After Xi Wendao's funeral was completed, Xi Mi handed over the Xijia restaurant to Zou Chengfeng. She still planned to return to Jinyang with Ying Qu and her contract with Ying Shi Xuan to be her own restaurant after a year.

When we left, it rained lightly.

Zou Chengfeng stopped Ying Quhe: "Mr. Ying, can I have a few words with you alone?"

Simi got into the car first, playing with his mobile phone and waiting for the response.

Zou Chengfeng took Ying Quhe and walked a certain distance, then turned around and asked him: "Mr. Ying, I grew up with this girl Xi Mi. She has a stubborn temper. Let her be a bit more in the future."

Responding to the song and nodding: "Of course."

Zou Chengfeng pondered for a moment and then said: "Simi... Did she cause you too much trouble? When do you plan to marry her?"

Ying Quhe didn't even think for a moment, and blurted out: "Mr. Zou, I will spend the rest of my life with her. Even if there is a little trouble, what is that compared to half my life? Mr. Xi just passed away. It is not suitable for a marriage proposal in the near future."

In fact, Zou Chengfeng was still a little worried, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ying, I know that you have everything in your status and status. You are rich and can cover the sky in Jinyang, but please remember that Ximi's natal family is not Coward, if you dare to bully her, we will not let you go."

Ying Qu and his eyebrows were serious, correcting him: "You are wrong, I am short of a Simi."

Zou Chengfeng was taken aback, and it took him a while to realize the meaning of his words.

"Simi, there is something I wanted to tell you a long time ago." Ying Quhe returned to the car and grabbed Simi's hand, clasping it tightly with five fingers: "I never thought of getting anything by luck, Including you, it all depends on hard work."

Simi didn't understand why he said this suddenly, pouted and said, "You seem to have no trouble chasing me at all? Now that I think about it, I'm so impatient, I shouldn't have agreed to you in a daze!"

When he recognized her as Xixi Ximi from the ancient town, he had already started "conspiring against her".From beginning to end, he worked hard.

It is not easy for him to meet a girl who is suitable for marriage and has a crush on him.From Weibo to Jialing Ancient Town, and then to Tangxi Ancient Inn.A series of fates forced him to pay attention to this girl. From the moment he recognized her, he had already moved his mind.

Although at that time, the feelings for her had not risen to the height of love.He never thought that he would fall in love so madly.

Seeing him in a daze, Simi poked his collarbone again: "Hey, why are you in a daze?"

Ying Quhe smiled, leaned against her forehead and said, "I didn't believe in fate before, but now I believe it."
