Chapter 545 - 564: I Announced It Because I Felt Like It
A few minutes after leaving, Zhao Buyan snuck back.
’Damn,’ he thought. ’Wouldn’t I be losing out if I left now?’
The Braised Gugu Pork Rice would be ready soon. Leaving now meant missing out on a meal!
The fact that she had a boyfriend was all the more reason for him to stick around in the stream. That way, her boyfriend wouldn’t be the only one who got to eat her cooking—
He could eat it too.
And so, before long, Jiang Qiuqiu’s viewer count went back up.
As the aroma grew more and more intense, the number of viewers in the stream rose a little more.
Soon, the sauce in the large pot thickened. The glistening, translucent pork belly was ladled over the rice, and a fragrant bowl of Braised Gugu Pork over Rice was ready.
After clicking "upload," Jiang Qiuqiu set her tools aside. "That’s all for today’s Braised Gugu Pork tutorial. Did you all learn how to make it?"
[My brain is fried, but I got it! I’ll give it a try after the stream ends.]
"Well, today’s stream marks the end of the Homestyle Cooking series."
"Thank you all for the well wishes. I’ll enjoy my time at school. When I have free time from my studies, I’ll start a stream. If it’s not convenient to stream, there will still be the Gourmet Showcase."
"See you all next time~"
She waved goodbye and, amidst a barrage of comments like [Bye-bye], [We’ll miss you!], and [Next time we see you, you’ll be a college student, Juju!], she turned off the camera robot.
It was over. Jiang Qiuqiu’s streaming career was coming to a temporary close.
She had just finished sighing at this thought when she felt a hand land on her waist again.
Well.
Here we go again.
"Why did you come to the kitchen? I was just about to go to the living room." She gave Mo Si a little push.
Mo Si said, "I wanted to ask you something. Why did you announce... that... in the stream?"
"What?" Jiang Qiuqiu exclaimed. "Don’t tell me you didn’t want me to say I have a boyfriend?"
"No," he denied instantly. "I did."
He wanted it more than anything. On the first day they made their relationship official, he wished he could announce it to the whole world.
But... there were many reasons not to.
"But aren’t you a public figure?"
Although he had received some rather unhelpful replies on a relationship forum before, Mo Si still felt that some people there gave good advice. He would occasionally go on there to browse and ask some small questions.
One of the topics was the proper etiquette for dating a public figure.
For example, one should consider whether it’s appropriate to go public when their partner’s career is on the rise.
"What kind of public figure am I?" Jiang Qiuqiu tossed the spatula in her hand. "Here, *this* is the thing that has public recognition."
"Besides, this stuff is all just my boyfriend’s leftovers anyway. Don’t worry, this won’t affect me at all." ’What kind of impact could it have? People are here for the food, and they’ll keep coming back for it.’
And another thing...
"Don’t you make that face." Jiang Qiuqiu leaned back, and Mo Si wrapped his arms around her. The girl’s lazy voice sounded by his ear, "Weren’t you the one searching on your terminal for, ah, ’what gift can I give to let everyone know she has a boyfriend?’ What’s wrong? Now everyone knows without you having to do a thing. Aren’t you happy?"
"..."
The tips of Mo Si’s ears instantly turned red. "How did you know I searched for that?"
"Sister Chengyu told me." She grabbed Mo Si’s forearm and pushed him out of the kitchen. "Relax. You need to have a little more faith in me, and in yourself."
"I’m not going to be lured away by someone else."
"Why does she tell you everything..." Mo Si frowned. "She can’t keep a single secret."
Jiang Qiuqiu chuckled softly. "Is this the first time you’re realizing this? She can keep big secrets, but she has no self-control when it comes to the little ones."
