If there is a beauty pageant, other girls may need to find ways to be more beautiful than others. The slits of their cheongsams may almost reach their shoulders, and they may look like they are twisting their kidneys out when walking on the catwalk.

Ella doesn't need all these. She just needs to wear this outfit, which is neither revealing nor exaggerated. She just ties her hair into an ordinary ponytail and flips a spoon in an ordinary way. She holds the trophy as easily as holding a frying pan.

You may fly across the world and see flowers, but no matter what, you have to go home for dinner.

Whether it's molecular cuisine shark fin soup or bear paw ginseng soup with caviar, none of them can replace the noodles and sauces you stir while squatting under the eaves of your own house, chewing garlic.

So, of course, no flower can compare to a cook holding a spoon.

The cook waved her spatula and asked, "Hey, do you like rice or noodles?"

"It's all right, but isn't it a bit late to start steaming rice now?"

"What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry to leave?" Ella teased.

"It's not urgent, but the main thing is not to waste your air conditioning fees." Jiang Mu said with a smile.

Ella didn't say anything. She just took the time to turn her head and rolled her eyes coquettishly.

"Now that you're here, don't just sit there and wash the vegetables. Do you know how to pick vegetables? Well, picking vegetables means removing the inedible parts of the vegetables and then washing the edible parts..."

Jiang Mu always felt that his image was problematic in the eyes of this girl.

"…Just in case, let me ask you something." He said, "In your eyes, am I the kind of idiot who doesn't know the difference between grains?"

"Well, I heard that all the young masters from your wealthy families seem to be like this."

"… No matter how rich a person is, they still have to eat. Besides, my family is in a special situation. There is no one to cook or clean. The only one who does it regularly is the one who lives in that room."

"Wow, that's troublesome."

"Fortunately, my father explained clearly what I could touch and what I couldn't touch, and pointed them out to me one by one. There were also some relics, such as pianos, calligraphy and paintings, and feather dusters, which were used to play, appreciate, and beat my husband, etc."

"Your father is very patient."

"Of course he is patient." Jiang Mu said expressionlessly, "Because when I finish learning, it will be my job to clean up all of this."

Ella looked sympathetic: "How pitiful."

Jiang Muchen said that I am not pitiful, but you are the one who is pitiful because you don’t even want to turn on the air conditioner.

But he knew that he couldn't say such things, even if Ella had no grudges about it.

In fact, she is a very amazing girl. Many girls of this age are more or less vain. They envy other people's dresses, necklaces or bracelets, and carefully hide everything about their poverty, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

So in the not-so-gentle world that Jiang Mu once lived in, they would often fall into men's traps because of this emotion. Jiang Mu had come across many cases related to this.

But Ella didn't care about these things. If the clothes didn't fit, then she wouldn't wear them. She could make up for the regrettable parts with her youth and beauty.

She was reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, but she was not a stingy person and would turn it on immediately when guests came to her house.

If there is no tea to entertain guests, then use boiled water, and considerately prepare the appropriate temperature for him and Li Hua respectively.

Many girls of her age always compare themselves to ugly ducklings and can only watch with envy the swans playing in the lake. But Ella is different. She is like a black swan. Even when she is alone, she will flap her wings and dance to admire her beauty, and her dance makes people dazzled.

In fact, there was something that Jiang Mu found very strange.

This house is actually quite nice, although it is certainly not as good as the Shennong clan’s land. There may be such a house in Kyoto, and it is definitely not related to a "poor family"... Then why does she have such a personality and such habits?

He was curious, but he wouldn't ask.

Jiang Mu is such a person.

His kindness never needs to be known to others. I saw you and thought you might need help, so I helped silently and left silently. Whether you thank me or not, accept it or not, that is your business and has nothing to do with me.

This behavior is neither unique nor beyond the rules. Even the meat, eggs and milk brought today were reimbursed by the student-caring dean of studies. This reason will be more easily accepted.

...Don’t worry about whether the director took the initiative or not, asking means he cares about the students!

Jiang Mu thought as he went to the sink to wash the vegetables.

He thought that this girl had a bit of a stereotype about rich kids. For example, some rich kids not only knew how to wash vegetables, but they didn't even have any money...

Haha, it’s just choosing a dish, how difficult can it be?

This thought continued until he saw something in the sink that looked like a green dragon fruit.

Pat.

Ella, who was patted on the shoulder twice, turned her head and saw Jiang Mu holding the basin with an expressionless face.

"What is this?" he asked.

“Artichokes.”

"I know this is an artichoke." Jiang Mu said in a bitter tone, "I'm asking, why do you have this thing in your house?"

Artichoke, officially nicknamed the Queen of Vegetables, is jokingly called the "King of Public Area". Its characteristic is "70%? 70% belongs to others, and the remaining 30% depends on the mood of the edible part."

To put it simply, there are very few edible parts of this thing, and it is also very difficult to handle.

If picking vegetables is compared to getting married, celery is the girl next door with a bad tone. As long as you remove those soft and flexible fibers, she will let you understand what gentleness like water means.

Lettuce is a hidden yandere. It may seem like it’s given freely and generously, but if it’s not handled properly, it will make you feel the pain on the tip of your tongue.

As for artichokes... this thing is like an arrogant and hopeless princess. It has a nice name and you put in a lot of effort. But in the end, only a tiny bit of it ends up in your mouth, and it’s not even you who ends up eating it.

"My mother brought it back when she came home." Ella spread her hands. "My mother is that kind of... well, she's quite naive. When she came back, my grandma asked her to bring something back, and she just left with an artichoke."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Mu with a smile:

"'Not knowing the difference between the five grains'? Hmm?"

"...No matter how you look at it, this thing can't be counted as one of the five grains!"

"Why not? Are you Shennong? If you say no, then you're not?"

Jiang Mu patted his chest and said, "Let me introduce myself. My surname is Jiang from the Shennong clan. Jiang Mu, as the only designated heir of the Shennong clan, I have the final right of interpretation. If I say no, then it is no."

"...Wow, you are really Shennong!"

Ella said this with a smile, and pushed Jiang Mu out of the kitchen like pushing a tire.

"Really, really, I can do it alone. In fact, I quite like staying in the kitchen alone. Just wait patiently~"

She shook the spatula and said, "Didn't you say that you are a young master but have never experienced the feeling of someone cooking for you? Today I will let you experience it!"

So Jiang Mu could only sit on the sofa.

That’s great, he thought.

Of course, it’s not that being served is good, it’s just the feeling of having a woman cooking in the kitchen and all he has to do is wait for the food.

This was a feeling Jiang Mu had never experienced before, comfortable and secure, and it seemed like there was some other emotion mixed in.

It would be great if I could marry a girl like this... Although it's a bit strange to fantasize about marrying someone after only meeting them a few times, it's not illegal for a boy to dream.

...maybe it's really possible?

If, just if.

If it was really like in the dream, they would probably tease each other like before, and then he would be driven out of the kitchen in disgust... But at that time, they would probably be more intimate? Kissing, hugging?

Stop, Jiang Mu, you are a mature man, it would be rude to continue.

Mature men should not have any thoughts about underage girls.

Then wait, wait another four years.

After waiting for four years, I can start chasing girls...I wonder who I will chase?

Now there are so many girls around me...

Tsk, I don’t think I’ve ever chased a girl.

Could it be that I am actually the type that is not popular with girls?

Then he would be just like Chen Shuzhai, who had wasted his time until he was 24 and still had no girlfriend, and had to rely on the world’s awareness to help him get out of being single... That would be too embarrassing.

Everybody laughs at Chen Shuzhai, and everybody is Chen Shuzhai.

I didn't feel it just now, but now that I sit down, I realize that running back and forth in the morning is really tiring.

Then just close your eyes and rest for a while, Jiang Mu thought.

Some things slowly flashed before my eyes, as if they were reflections of the past.

In his previous life, Jiang Mu was abducted when he was four or five years old and ignorant of human affairs. When he was ten years old, he sold the traffickers and escaped.

That was a very difficult time, but fortunately, I didn't suffer any physical injuries, and I also developed a pure and kind soul that was extremely evil...

As for getting to know Professor Luo, it is because this kind of case of "the trafficked child selling the trafficker" is not only unprecedented, but will most likely never happen again.

During that period, Jiang Mu, as a typical example, met all kinds of legal workers and felt like he was facing an expert consultation on a rare case.

Moreover, those law professors would argue in front of him at any time, and some would even roll up their sleeves and start fighting, which left the young Jiang Mu with the wrong impression that "lawyers are passionate professions that speak cool lines and then speak with fists", and made him quite yearning...

Thanks to Professor Luo's efforts, Jiang Mu finally received critical education.

After that, there were some flashing scenes, such as eating at different people's houses and tricking college students into showing their love to him. They were all small things, not worth mentioning.

Jiang Mu didn’t know who his parents were in his previous life. If he really had to say, the person he called father should be Professor Luo. Jiang Mu always wanted to change his name to Luo Mu.

But for some reason, the professor never agreed and just supported him - without even paying any money.

Because Jiang Mu can always get living expenses, if asked, he would just say it must be legal, and if not asked, he would know it must be unethical...

Unfortunately, the professor was disappointed in the end.

But Jiang Mu is such a paranoid person. His childhood experiences made him hope that some tragedies around him would get better, but it also made it difficult for him to have a great recognition of the "rules".

And, most of the time, he would only believe in himself.

...In fact, the world here is pretty good. He has a home, a father, and a beautiful girl. Although he still has never experienced any maternal love, Jiang Mu is very content.

But, if possible, I really want to see Professor Luo again... He must be very sad if I suddenly disappeared, right?

What should we do when we meet? It seems nothing.

Just say "I'm fine".

I wonder if [Miracle Deal] can fulfill my wish...

If 20% unblocking isn’t possible, what about %?

Also, I really want to have a woman in my family... Dad, can you please be more motivated, come out of this situation sooner, and find me a stepmother?

I can accept a stepmother who is younger than me!

I've lived two lives and there's never been a person I could call my mother. You're making me lose face in this keyboard warrior world!

===

Ella walked past the sofa carrying a tray of food, subconsciously walking lightly.

The young man was lying there, soundly sleeping.

The girl gently placed the plate on the table and then gently sat down next to him.

At first I sat far away, but after thinking about it, I moved a little closer.

After a while, it quietly moved closer.

This continued until there was only an index finger's distance between them.

Then she stopped moving, tilted her head, and looked at Jiang Mu's face gently, as if she was counting his eyelashes.

——In fact, it is difficult to tell what Ella is thinking. Even she herself doesn’t know what she is thinking.

For some reason, she seemed to have started to care about some things recently... things that she didn't care about much in the past.

At the very beginning, of course, it was the bookstall of that day.

Thinking about it carefully, I was really corrupted by the atmosphere that day. It was clearly the first time we met, but I actually did such a thing... Wow, I must have been led astray by my mother.

It’s all my mother’s fault. She has always told me that Chinese people are too conservative. She said that when she was sixteen years old, she chased my father to three or four cities before she finally won over that rigid and sullen man.

My mother said that when you see a man you are interested in, you must leave your mark on him.

…Obviously, despite all her complaints, Ella was still poisoned by this kind of thinking.

Especially after the kiss that day, although she looked quite calm, in fact, she really felt her heart stop for a moment, and then it started beating wildly, thump thump thump thump...
