Quick Transmigration: Striving Every Day to Overcome Tribulation
Chapter 79 Cooking is okay, but being a wife is not (5)
As fate brought them together, Liu Xinxi and Qin Yizhou gradually became acquainted and grew increasingly close.
Liu Xinxi felt as if she were floating on a cloud of happiness, with every day as warm and bright as if she were bathed in sunshine.
However, this happiness is occasionally shrouded in a dark cloud, which is whenever she meets the female lead, Su Su.
An indescribable sense of hostility would always well up in Liu Xinxi's heart.
Despite her meticulously prepared meals, Qin Yizhou would always unconsciously compare her to Su Su.
If too much seasoning is added, Qin Yizhou will frown and point out the problem; if too little seasoning is added, Qin Yizhou will also express his dissatisfaction.
In order to satisfy Qin Yizhou, Liu Xinxi could only constantly adjust the flavor of the dishes and try repeatedly, hoping to reach the perfect standard in Qin Yizhou's mind.
What made her feel even more exhausted was that Qin Yizhou would often visit the Su Family Restaurant, and would even take her with him.
At the Su Family Restaurant, Qin Yizhou made her try a bite of every dish, and then earnestly told Liu Xinxi to study hard.
Looking at Qin Yizhou's serious expression, Liu Xinxi felt both wronged and helpless. She wished Qin Yizhou could see the efforts she had made for him and offer more praise and encouragement.
These actions plunged Liu Xinxi into deep distress.
Moreover, at the moment she came into this world, Qin Yizhou was proposing to Su Su.
That scene was like a sharp thorn, deeply embedded in Liu Xinxi's heart.
She couldn't help but wonder if Qin Yizhou still harbored deep feelings for Su Su.
Although she understood that it was perfectly normal for the male and female protagonists to be attracted to each other, deep down in her heart, Qin Yizhou belonged to her completely.
She would never allow anyone to share this affection. She desperately longed for Qin Yizhou's exclusive love, and she longed for this love to belong only to her, untouched by anyone else.
Taking advantage of Qin Yizhou's absence that day, Liu Xinxi went to Su Family Restaurant to find Su Su.
Meanwhile, Su Su was busy with her own affairs, and she was also very puzzled. Why was Liu Xinxi suddenly coming to find her when they were supposed to be having a proper romance?
I was a little curious.
Liu Xinxi straightened her back, slightly raised her chin, and introduced herself clearly: "Hello, Miss Su! My name is Liu Xinxi, and I am Qin Yizhou's girlfriend and future wife!"
She deliberately emphasized the words "Qin Yizhou's girlfriend," while keeping her eyes fixed on Su Su, secretly observing her expression.
However, Su Su simply smiled faintly, a smile carrying just the right amount of aloofness, and replied, "Hello, Miss Liu. May I ask what brings you here?"
Looking at Su Su's calm reaction, Liu Xinxi couldn't tell whether she felt disappointed or relieved.
She had expected Su Su to be shocked or at least show some signs of distress, but Su Su remained remarkably calm.
"Yizhou told me that the food at Su Family Restaurant is delicious, and Miss Su probably knows that I've been here with him several times. However, recently Miss Su's cooking skills have declined somewhat. I'm willing to pay for Su Family's recipes so that Yizhou can eat better!" Liu Xinxi's words carried a hint of provocation.
Looking at the woman in front of her, who resembled a victorious rooster, Su Su felt a sense of helplessness.
She shook her head slightly and said calmly, "Miss Liu, the Su family recipes are family heirlooms and not for sale. Moreover, the quality of cooking skills does not depend solely on the recipes, but also on dedication. Besides, even if my skills have declined, it doesn't mean they have to be at a level that suits his tastes. I hope you understand."
After saying that, Su Su turned and left.
Then, suddenly remembering something, Su Su turned to Liu Xinxi and said, "Do you still remember what your own taste is like? Perhaps if things continue like this, you might no longer cook because you enjoy cooking."
Su Su disappeared before Liu Xinxi's eyes without waiting for a reply, leaving Liu Xinxi standing there alone, her face turning pale and then red.
"No way! What he likes is what I like, otherwise why would I be a food blogger?" Liu Xinxi said, her voice trembling slightly and her lips pale.
Her inability to refute was more like a form of self-comfort and support.
At this moment, she was filled with unease and anxiety.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze, making people feel oppressed.
Liu Xinxi stood there, like a fallen leaf shrouded in loneliness, drifting helplessly in the winds of fate.
Liu Xinxi's mind kept replaying her husband from her past life.
That man only cared about money, although he would occasionally treat her very, very well when he was in a good mood, to the point that he would give her whatever she wanted.
However, his inexplicable irritability and ferocity when drunk still terrified Liu Xinxi whenever she thought of him.
Those nightmarish memories surged like a dark tide, almost drowning her.
She tried to extract warmth from her memories of being with Qin Yizhou, attempting to dispel Su Su's words.
"As long as he has the Su family's recipes, Yizhou won't focus on the female lead anymore! That's it."
Liu Xinxi kept repeating this sentence in her mind, as if it were her only lifeline.
So Liu Xinxi went back and probed Qin Yizhou about buying the Su family's recipes.
She brought up the topic cautiously, her eyes filled with anticipation.
However, Qin Yizhou did not agree to Liu Xinxi's suggestion to buy the Su family's recipes, and even the system in the protagonist Qin Yizhou's mind disagreed.
The plot-driven system prioritizes the female lead, not the male lead. It believes that Liu Xinxi's attempt to take what originally belonged to the female lead is suicidal.
Besides, the soul from another world hasn't fully become the female lead yet! As long as she's not the female lead, she can't possibly harm the real female lead.
Qin Yizhou tried his best to calm the restless system in his mind, while also having his own considerations.
He felt that Liu Xinxi was just insecure, so he decided to propose to her in the hope of putting her at ease.
But Liu Xinxi wasn't as happy as she had imagined.
Although she could become Qin Yizhou's wife as long as she put on the ring, Liu Xinxi felt inexplicably familiar with this scene.
The scene seemed to overlap with the day she came into this world, and also with the day her husband proposed in her previous life.
A strange sense of familiarity welled up inside her, making her feel uneasy.
Then, for some inexplicable reason, she remembered the words spoken by the female protagonist, Su Su. Those words echoed in her mind, plunging her into deep thought.
Finally, urged on by Qin Yizhou's gaze, Liu Xinxi ran away.
She suddenly realized that she liked the male lead because she liked cooking, not because she liked cooking for the male lead.
Food is meant to bring joy, not to please one person.
"How is this going?"
