With the ringing of the bell, the entire classroom turned from noisy to quiet. Only the sounds of the teachers lecturing could be heard, and the sound of students taking notes and flipping pages lingered in their ears.
Bai Yufei played with the shiny little toy in her hand thoughtfully. It was clearly a key.
Specifically, this is a key to Huo Yunkong's house.
Bai Yufei's memory went back to last night. In her mind, Huo Yunkong's cold and handsome face appeared, revealing the cunning smile that only merchants would have when discussing business.
"Are you preparing three meals a day for me?" Huo Yunkong adjusted his posture of crossing his arms over his chest and using his hands to support his chin. He looked at Bai Yufei carefully, as if curious how she would respond.
Bai Yufei's food was too delicious. Even Huo Yunkong, who was a bit picky with his words, couldn't find any fault with it.
In previous studies, if you were able to eat well every day, you would be able to improve your mood and work more efficiently.
Bai Yufei was living so close to him, and her cooking skills were superb, so it wouldn't be too troublesome for her to come over every day. Moreover, he no longer needed to be entangled with those unreliable take-out products. He didn't even need to worry about cleaning up the dishes or chopsticks. Thinking about that, Huo Yunkong nodded in satisfaction.
More importantly, Huo Yunkong was really curious about Bai Yufei. He also wanted to use this perfect opportunity to get to know Bai Yufei better.
"Of course, I'm not going to let you do it for nothing. I'll pay you every month. Don't know... Are you satisfied with twenty thousand yuan a month? " After thinking for a while, Huo Yunkong gave a number that he thought was reasonable and at the same time alluring.
Huo Yunkong was one hundred percent confident that Bai Yufei would not refuse such a favor.
Huo Yunkong thought, other than the money to buy food and the travel expenses, what's left would be Bai Yufei's hard work. After all, it wasn't easy to clean up after cooking with a fire.
Twenty thousand!? Bai Yufei was shocked when Huo Yunkong said this number, as if what he said was not 20,000, but 2000.
Bai Yufei originally wanted to refuse. Although she wanted to build a good relationship with Huo Yunkong, she probably wouldn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of such a cold looking cheetah.
Besides, she was a dignified Bai Yufei who had never worked before! In her previous life, Bai Yufei's brother, Bai Yangtian, was the one who managed the company's affairs. She only had to take care of her eating, drinking, and having fun while she was studying.
Bai Yufei had even taken her PhD in the University of Maya for fun in order to kill time.
Unfortunately, the salary conditions that Huo Yunkong offered were too attractive. Bai Yufei, who just bought a new batch of furniture and invested most of her savings into the stock market, thought that she instantly lost several zero yuan in savings, and her willpower began to waver.
Wealth could make one's life miserable. Wealth could make Bai Yufei lower her head just a single time!
It's just helping to prepare the three meals, it's your, Huo Yunkong's, fortune that I agreed to it! You really are lucky from your previous life to be able to eat three meals a day prepared by me, Bai Yufei. Bai Yufei secretly clamored in her heart.
"May I have my salary paid in advance? The cost of buying vegetables should also be included, right? " Bai Yufei lifted her chin and straightened her back. Although she, Bai Yufei, will serve Huo Yunkong for the time being, she still had to maintain her dignity!
Huo Yunkong wasn't too worried that Bai Yufei would run away with the money. Even if she did, just treat it as him paying for the meal. It was rare for him to relive the warm atmosphere that was precious to him. It was priceless.
Plus, with his power and abilities, even if Bai Yufei went to the other side of the world, he would be able to find her.
"There are still some things I need to explain." "First, I don't eat the skins of tomatoes and potatoes. Remember to take care of these when you cook; second, you can't be too thin or too fat; it's not good for the heart. Third, you have to tell me when you're done with your coffee. I'll drink only American coffee, no milk, no sugar, preferably Blue Mountain coffee …."
Bai Yufei opened her phone's memo and recorded everything down as if it was a dictation. She cursed in her heart at Huo Yunkong for being such a coward. Why is there so many rules for a meal? What a devil!
Huo Yunkong admitted that he was deliberately making things difficult for them. To put it more accurately, he was deliberately being naughty. He watched with interest as Bai Yufei recorded the details in a flurry of hands and feet. He felt a sense of happiness at the success of her little scheme.
"Oh yeah, give me your phone." Huo Yunkong stretched out his hand towards Bai Yufei, not intending to explain too much.
Bai Yufei didn't struggle, nor did she dare to question him. She obediently handed over her cell phone.
Huo Yunkong took Bai Yufei's phone. He used his white, well-defined hands to type a number on the screen and pressed the number. When he confirmed that the screen of his phone lit up, Bai Yufei's number was displayed and he returned the phone to Bai Yufei.
"My phone number." Huo Yunkong raised his eyes and pointed with his nose.
This was the phone of the financial backer! Bai Yufei was as obedient as a docile little sheep. After hearing Bai Yufei's words, she obediently saved them.
In order to let both parties find him as soon as possible, Bai Yufei and Huo Yunkong exchanged the spare keys on the door of their own house.
This way, Bai Yufei could choose to cook at her own home and call Huo Yunkong over to eat, or she could directly say hello and go straight to Huo Yunkong's house to cook for him.
The moment their keys landed in each other's hands, it was as if the two of them had started a life of constant interaction. What they did not know was that their future destinies would be merged together like this.
Seeing that it was getting late, Huo Yunkong said good night to Bai Yufei and left.
Was it an illusion? Bai Yufei felt as if Huo Yunkong had become less cold. The last few times she had met him, Bai Yufei had felt that although Huo Yunkong was handsome and pleasing to the eyes, he looked like a statue from Michelangelo's hands, and his entire body was emitting a chilly aura.
Perhaps it was because the misunderstanding was resolved? Huo Yunkong didn't look so sharp when he looked at her. However, towards her tone and attitude, there was a hint of gentleness that no one would notice if they were careless.
After Huo Yunkong left, Bai Yufei's phone lit up with a message for Huo Yunkong to transfer to her.
Bai Yufei only came back to her senses after she held the key too tight and placed it in Bai Yufei's hand.
Afraid that she would lose it, Bai Yufei put the key of Huo Yunkong's house on the string and took a deep breath to cheer herself on. Her life as a cook began today.
