Chapter 283: Chapter 283

Unmatched by most. He was, one might say, the ultimate showman.

Su Yan complained internally a few times, then rewarded the novel with a regular-sized patronage. The plot of this novel was quite inconceivable, even utterly unreasonable. But a novel isn’t a masterpiece. Isn’t the point of reading novels to seek that sense of illogical thrill? So, if it’s exciting, that’s all that matters! Who the hell cares if the plot makes sense or not?

While Su Yan was mulling over these random thoughts, Jiu Li’s light call came from the dining table, "My Lord, dinner is ready."

"Coming!" Su Yan replied.

His stomach already rumbling with hunger, he immediately flipped off the couch. Taking large, quick strides, he rapidly arrived at the dining table.

What met his gaze were four neatly arranged dishes and one soup on the table.

At first glimpse, Su Yan was a bit surprised, thinking to himself, Jiu Li has really kept her talents hidden, being able to prepare so many dishes, and even soup!

However, when he took a closer look! This is damn well not right! Why do all four plates contain tomato scrambled eggs? Even the soup pot is filled with tomato scrambled eggs! What the hell is going on? Can dividing one portion of tomato scrambled eggs into five really pass as four dishes and a soup? Is this even something a human would do?

Completely baffled, Su Yan immediately voiced his confusion, "Jiu Li, why did you divide the tomato scrambled eggs into five portions?"

Jiu Li replied calmly, "My Lord, you misunderstand. I didn’t divide the tomato scrambled eggs into five portions. There are five different dishes on the table."

When I type question marks, it’s not because I have a problem; it’s because I think *you* have a problem, he thought.

Seeing the confused look on Su Yan’s face, Jiu Li patiently began to explain.

"This plate contains tomato scrambled eggs."

"This one has scrambled eggs with tomato."

"This one, tomato-boiled eggs."

"This one, eggs boiled with tomato."

"And the pot contains tomato and egg soup." Original content can be found at novel•fire.net

Jiu Li stretched out her delicate hand, pointing at each dish as she explained them to Su Yan.

Damn it... After hearing Jiu Li’s earnest explanation, Su Yan’s face practically turned green.

He immediately voiced his skepticism, "Well, I’ll be damned! Are you trying to fool an idiot here? Just swap the names, and they become different dishes? Could you please point out what exactly is different between these five dishes?"

Suddenly interrogated by Su Yan, Jiu Li actually began to explain earnestly.

She pointed to each dish on the dining table, saying, "Look, My Lord, the tomato scrambled eggs have more egg in them. And with scrambled eggs with tomato, there are more tomatoes. Moreover, the ratio of ingredients between tomato-boiled eggs and eggs boiled with tomato is different. Compared to the fried versions, the boiled ones have more liquid and are softer in texture. Next, the tomato and egg soup is even more different; with much more liquid compared to the other four dishes, it’s soup, not a dish. All things considered, Jiu Li made four dishes and one soup, not five portions of tomato scrambled eggs."

Jiu Li’s explanation to Su Yan sounded so logical and convincing, it was difficult not to agree.

Su Yan, on the other hand, couldn’t help the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. Then, his composure faltering, he said, "You call this four dishes and a soup, but I suspect you just made one batch of tomato scrambled eggs, divided it into five portions, and then added water to some of them..."

Jiu Li, hearing this, raised her shapely, willow-like eyebrows. Then, with a slight smile, she said, "My Lord, Jiu Li remembers you saying something. As long as someone doesn’t intentionally make the food taste bad, you wouldn’t nitpick about the dishes."

Hearing Jiu Li say this, Su Yan couldn’t help but feel his eye twitch slightly. Then, forcing a smile, he said, "Heh... hehe... hehe, I do seem to recall saying something like that. Since that’s the case, then it’s all good. Let’s sit down and eat."

A triumphant smile brightened Jiu Li’s face as she moved gracefully to sit across from Su Yan, her heart filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

「After finishing dinner and resting for a while, it quickly became 8:55 pm.」

At that moment, Su Yan’s phone buzzed in his pocket, as if on cue.

He took it out and saw it was a message from Sister Zhou.

Sister Zhou: Brother Yan, I’m outside the university gate.

Su Yan: Alright, I’ll come out right now.

After replying, Su Yan reverted to his usual elegant style and flew straight out of the window.

Moving swiftly with Airwalking, he arrived at Jing University’s main gate.

"Brother Yan, over here!"

As soon as Su Yan landed, Sister Zhou, who was on the opposite side of the gate, immediately waved at him.

"Sister Zhou, how long will it take to reach that old residence by motorbike?" Su Yan asked as he walked towards her.

Sister Zhou replied, "If I drive a bit faster, I can get there in about half an hour."
