“I thought I’d send a few of my guards to escort you, didn’t I?”
Idris lightly kissed my forehead.
“Did I surprise you? Since when?”
“I came to meet you.”
Idris raised one corner of his mouth.
Oddly enough, Idris’s appearance was so elegant and enchanting that most of the worries from a little while ago flew away as if they never existed.
“Was the conversation good?”
“I’m not sure. It seems hopeless on this end.”
“Don’t feel so down. I can handle everything. I can solve it all.”
Idris twirled a strand of my hair around his finger, a playful gesture.
My heart fluttered with delight.
“Have you had a meal?”
Idris shook his head.
“How about eating something delicious? Oh, but there might not be any restaurants open now, right? Lately, I’ve been so tired and worn out that I wanted to eat something special.”
“Something special?”
Idris’s eyes narrowed. He looked more serious than when he was planning the infiltration of Agila.
Then, as if having a good idea, he quickly grabbed my hand.
“What is it? Where are we going to eat? Can I look forward to it?”
“Look forward to it… well, yes. I’ll try to meet your expectations.”
But where Idris took me was our accommodation from last night.
“As expected, all the restaurants are closed now, right? Can’t help it. Let’s just eat something simple like we used to.”
I tried to take off my coat while saying that. However, Idris stopped my hand. He buttoned up my coat again, up to my neck.
“No, I’ll do it myself. Cooking.”
He led me to the kitchen in our accommodation. It was evening, and everyone was busy preparing dinner. Idris told them to leave immediately. Those who didn’t understand English had to leave, leaving their knives untouched.
What a nuisance!
As I was about to say something to Idris, he handed them a wad of money.
“Go eat.”
Yeah, it’s better on the other side than making and eating something. Besides, the amount seemed generous.
In the kitchen, only the two of us remained. Idris moved busily as if he had a specific plan.
I sat quietly, gathering my hands and admiring his handsome face. I enjoyed the muscles in his arms and back every time he moved.
Idris certainly handled the knife well.
Look at that. You can hardly see his hands, right?
But the skill was too much for peeling potatoes. The peeled potatoes barely had any flesh left.
Idris looked puzzled as he took out the meat.
“Others would be amazed to see Idris sweating like this in the kitchen.”
“Others don’t need to see it. I’m doing it for you.”
Idris was enthusiastic.
“Well, thank you very much. But, Idris, it seems like the meat is burning now.”
“No, it’s cooking well, so don’t worry.”
“I can smell it burning.”
“It can’t be.”
Idris tried to flip the meat. Unfortunately, it was pitch black. What a waste of good meat.
“Why did this happen?”
Idris scratched his head as if truly not understanding.
Still, Idris didn’t give up. After going through four charcoal briquettes, on the fifth attempt, he managed to produce something edible enough not to cause illness.
Ganish decided to focus on raw vegetables that don’t require cooking. To accomplish that, it seemed like he would have to stay up all night tonight.
We set up a table in one corner of the kitchen. We laid out a white lace tablecloth, found from somewhere, and arranged silverware to make it look presentable.
On the plates were steaks with the black parts trimmed off, pickled side dishes prepared in advance by the kitchen staff, and a fresh salad.
“It looks terrible.”
Idris gave an objective assessment. Of course, I shared the same opinion. However, I didn’t show it. Regardless of the outcome, I found Idris wielding his knife and pot, muttering to himself, rare and amusing.
“No, it looks very delicious. I’ll enjoy it.”
“No, don’t eat it.”
Idris abruptly stood up, reaching for the plate. I quickly moved to defend before he could take it away.
“Why did you give it to me, only to take it back!”
“I can’t feed you something this terrible. Just endure a bit, even if you’re hungry. I’ll immediately call the chef to prepare a new dish…”
“No! I want to eat this. It’s the first thing Idris ever made.”
“But if you eat this, you might…”
Idris trailed off, looking at me.
“Die from eating it.”
Before Idris could take the food away again, I quickly took a bite.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
