Daddy's Gourmet Shop

Chapter 89: What Exactly Is the Secret?


Lin Yuhan sat alone on the bench in the grove.

Don't ask why.

If you ask, it's because Yan Ming dumped her...

Ran away!

Ran away!

At this moment, she felt angry, annoyed, and helpless...

Who made her like him!

The person you like, you have to like them to the end even with tears in your eyes.

So, she could only choose to forgive him!

But...

After a failed confession, what should she do next?

She, with no dating experience, expressed her distress~

Her pretty face was almost scrunched up like a little bun.

As she was racking her brains to come up with a plan to capture a certain someone's heart, a somewhat familiar voice came to her ear: "Hmm? Isn't this our student council's new member Lin Yuhan! What's wrong? In a bad mood?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuhan looked up at the other person.

She saw it was Xia Weiyi, the vice minister of the Student Council's Arts and Sports Department.

She smiled wryly: "Senior, what a coincidence! What are you doing here?"

"I'm here for a date! And you?"

"I..."

She hesitated to speak, thinking that Xia Weiyi had some dating experience, and couldn't help but ask her for advice: "Senior, I want to ask you a question."

Xia Weiyi looked at her curiously: "What question?"

"How can you capture and firmly hold a man's heart?" She asked sincerely.

Xia Weiyi was momentarily stunned: "You want to capture a man's heart?"

"Who is this man? You, with your looks and figure, can't capture his heart? Is he blind?!"

Lin Yuhan: "..."

Maybe he really is blind, unable to see her beauty!

"Just..."

She stammered, unsure of how to start.

"Well, that's not important." Xia Weiyi understood and didn't ask further.

She clasped her hands together, pleading: "Then senior, could you share your unique secrets?"

"Well... I never actively captured anyone's heart; they came to me on their own." Xia Weiyi pondered, holding a bottle of mineral water.

"If that's the case, then senior, you must have a secret for staying popular for a long time, right?" Lin Yuhan said sincerely: "What I want to know is, what exactly is the secret to having many men fall for you?"

Xia Weiyi thought for a bit: "Dress a little sexy and see how he reacts. If he doesn't like it, then switch to a pure style. There's always one he likes."

Lin Yuhan nodded in agreement.

"And there's also flirtatious hair flips, three moves to make the heart of a dream guy itch!" Xia Weiyi pondered and said.

Lin Yuhan suddenly became interested: "Flirtatious hair flips? How do you do that?"

"The first is exposing the forehead while flipping your hair, the second is flipping your hair behind the ear, and the third is flipping as you tie your hair. It's hard to explain with words, so let me demonstrate for you..."

Xia Weiyi extended her slender, fair arms, pinned back her bangs to reveal a clear jawline and a white neck, stopped at her ear, and slightly tilted her head towards the hand flipping her hair, paired with a heartwarming smile, her every move graced with Oriental beauty's subtle charm.

It left a lot to the imagination.

Then she twisted the hair by her ear with her middle and ring fingers, combined with darting eyes and a charming yet innocent lip-biting expression.

Truly a model of flirtatious hair flipping that moves people of all ages to the heart~

Before Lin Yuhan could recover her senses, she watched Xia Weiyi raise her slender arms, gather her hair to the back of her head, revealing a perfect side profile and a snowy neck line, tying it up then letting it fall, fingers passing through the hair, letting it freely cascade over her shoulders, arms stretched back to reveal straight collarbones, lazy and casual!

Stunningly beautiful!

"Understand? Go practice in front of a mirror, and when your special someone looks at you, quickly turn to another direction, then lightly shrug after the hair flip, and give him a sweet smile. He might just melt!"

"I..."

Lin Yuhan wanted to say, she understood what she saw.

But if she really did seductive hair flips in front of Yan Ming, with his personality, he'd probably think she was having a nervous breakdown, possessed by someone...

Besides, being a tomboy, she really couldn't pull off such graceful hair flips...

"Senior, is there anything else? I'm afraid I'd be like the ugly imitation of a beauty, blinding to the eyes..."

Xia Weiyi rested her chin on one hand, thinking: "Well, Zhang Ailing writes in 'Lust, Caution': 'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.' So, if you want to capture a man's heart, first capture his stomach. This phrase holds a lot of truth, as in relationships, most dates include shopping, watching movies, and eating together."

"Furthermore, Confucius also said: "Food, sex, and beauty." Feeling full is a primal instinct and the most satisfying."

"If you really have a crush on him, then cook for him. To capture his heart, first win over his stomach. Cater to his preferences, slowly strategize..."

Lin Yuhan nodded in realization.

To capture a man's heart, first win over his stomach.

Alright!

She understood!

This will do!

"Yuhan, you can cook, right?"

"I can a little bit."

"It's okay, maybe your cooking skills aren't that great, and the dishes you make might not be all that delicious. But as long as you're making his favorite dishes, your intention will surely make him feel valued, and he'll feel your deep love for him..."

Xia Weiyi gently patted Lin Yuhan on the shoulder to show encouragement.

She thanked her: "Thank you, senior!"

"You're welcome. My boyfriend's here, so I have to go. You should think it through on your own..." Xia Weiyi stood up, waved her hand, and gracefully left with her boyfriend.

After watching Xia Weiyi leave, Lin Yuhan was pondering what Yan Ming likes to eat.

Oh!

Got it!

But thinking about her lousy cooking skills, she felt she couldn't manage it!

What should she do?

She thought for a moment, and suddenly had a bright idea.

But she was worried the other party wouldn't be willing to teach.

After considering it for a bit.

She decided to go ask directly.

Better to act than just be tempted!

She got up and headed to West City Old Street.

...

At Delicious Restaurant.

"Are you full?"

Xu Hao watched Shen Qiumo finish eating, eyes full of affection, and thoughtfully handed her a napkin.

Shen Qiumo smiled and accepted the napkin, wiping her mouth: "Yes, I'm full!"

"What time will you go back to school later?" Xu Hao thought if the time didn't conflict, he could give her a ride back to campus.

"I'll go back before the dorms close. I have nothing in the afternoon, so I can stay here to help you."

"If you have nothing else to do, you can stay at the shop for a bit, but no need to help."

As they were talking, the shop door slowly opened...

"Hello, may I ask if Boss Huang is here?" Lin Yuhan pushed the door open and peered inside.

Shen Qiumo looked at the person at the door, a bit uncertain: "Lin Yuhan?"

"Senior... why are you here too?" Lin Yuhan had a face full of surprise, and then walked in.

Shen Qiumo stood up and said candidly: "My friend works here, so I came to take a look."

Lin Yuhan's gaze shifted between Xu Hao and Shen Qiumo and let out a meaningful "Oh."

A friend's acquaintance works here.

She felt her hope increased a bit.

She smiled and extended her hand: "Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Lin Yuhan."

"Hello, I'm Xu Hao."

Xu Hao politely shook hands, released his grip, and curiously asked: "You wanted to see my boss earlier? Do you need something?"

"I have a favor to ask Boss Huang, is he in the shop?" Lin Yuhan looked around and didn't see the shadow of Huang Tao.

Xu Hao glanced at the temporary rest area, not seeing the boss come out, he guessed the boss was still napping, apologetically to Lin Yuhan: "He's here, but the boss is resting. Why don't you sit and wait for a bit?"

"Hmm, alright!"

Lin Yuhan thought since Boss Huang was resting, it wouldn't be good to disturb him, so she sat down peacefully to wait.

After a moment.

Huang Tao, after a short nap, yawned as he came out of the rest area.

Just as he emerged, a delighted shout came to his ears: "Boss Huang, you're awake."

About to look towards the voice, he saw a lively girl bounce in front of him, making him momentarily stunned.

He asked in surprise: "Is there something you need?"

"Yes, Boss Huang, I want to learn how to cook from you." Lin Yuhan looked at him earnestly.

Huang Tao was directly dumbfounded by her words.

This girl wants to take him as her master?

"Sorry, I don't think my cooking skills are good enough to take on students."

"Boss Huang, you misunderstood. I didn't plan on becoming your apprentice. I just purely want to learn to make crab fried cake from you, and also, don't worry, I'm not learning this dish for business purposes."

Huang Tao: "..."

"Then why do you want to learn to make crab fried cake?"

"Because the person I love likes to eat the crab fried cake you make, so I want to learn and cook it for him."

After speaking, she bowed to Huang Tao: "Please, Boss Huang, I'll pay you. But, as a student, I don't have much money. Can I pay in installments?"
