“You won’t do that. I know you quite well.” Ye Lang said with a smile.

Zhen Xiaoyan pursed her lips and said, “No, I will no longer cook for you, because you never put me in your heart.”

“Why bother to put you in my heart?” Ye Lang said very directly.

“...Go die!” Zhen Xiaoyan said angrily. The next few days, she no longer appeared in front of Ye Lang, it seemed that she was really angry with him.

These few days, Ye Lang lost his appetite, not because he missed Zhen Xiaoyan, but because he missed the food she cooked.

Ow, fatty has left, so I can no longer eat the food cooked by her, I’m not used to it. However, sooner or later, we will have to separate because of my travel.

I had better get used to this earlier. I should have asked her to make some food for me.

Before the participants set out, the Emperor would hold a farewell feast in the palace for them. At that feast, Ye Lang might still see Zhen Xiaoyan, who might still be angry with him.

Many people would attend the feast, including the participants, their families, and some senior officials who want to seize this chance to attract talent.

It was a custom for them to hold such a feast. No one knew when it started. But in the end, it became quite grand.

How time flew! Today was when the participants set out. Everyone was ready to leave and stood in front of the palace.

“If I knew it would be this boring, I would have just stayed in bed.” Ye Lang stood among the crowd and yawned. He looked sleepy.

“You dare!” Princess Qi and Ye Lanyu scolded him from both sides.

They were going to set out today. Ye Lang was important to them, they wouldn’t leave without seeing him.

“If I dared, I would not be here.” Ye Lang said helplessly.

“At least you understand.” These two women said at the same time.

“I have to go find fatty, it seems that she is still angry with me.” Ye Lang said. No one knew if he was making an excuse to leave them or if he really cared about Zhen Xiaoyan. He left Ye Lanyu and Princess Qi and walked towards Zhen Xiaoyan among the crowd.

At this moment, Zhen Xiaoyan was looking at Ye Lang. When he came over, a little joy could be seen in her eyes. It seemed that she was no longer angry with him.

But Ye Lang didn’t see this, he thought that Zhen Xiaoyan must still be angry with him since she had not appeared for so many days.

“Fatty, are you still angry?” Ye Lang asked.

“Ah.” Zhen Xiaoyan was in a daze and immediately shook her head, “No, I am not. Why do you think so?”

“So why did you disappear for so many days ?” Ye Lang asked with confusion.

Zhen Xiaoyan looked at Ye Lang and then gently asked, “If I get angry, what will you do?”

Why is she asking this? She wouldn’t normally just say that because of her shyness, unlike a certain shameless person, no, I mean dull person...

“I’ll apologize and try to please you,” Ye Lang replied.

“Really?” Zhen Xiaoyan was delighted, but only for a moment.

Ye Lang nodded and replied, “Otherwise I will no longer be able to eat what you cook for me.”

“I should have known that you would say that.” Zhen Xiaoyan immediately became unhappy.

“Hey, don’t be angry, fatty. This time, remember to take care of yourself during the training. I don’t want to lose you.” Ye Lang said sincerely. He didn’t want to lose Zhen Xiaoyan for a certain reason.

“I know, I know you don’t want to lose your lifelong cook.” Zhen Xiaoyan and said directly.

“Anyway, remember that you are mine so you must be okay.” Ye Lang said with a smile.

“Bah! I am not yours. I will marry someone else.” Zhen Xiaoyan blushed and patted Ye Lang, acting like a spoiled child...

“You are my lifelong cook, you said it yourself just now.” Ye Lang waved his hand and said casually.

“Well, I will give you food which is enough for you to eat for a year.” Zhen Xiaoyan said while taking out some food out of her spatial bag.

“For a year?” Ye Lang was amazed and reached out to take the food from Zhen Xiaoyan and put it into his own spatial bag.

“These days, I was in the kitchen, cooking for you. I finally managed to cook this much, but I don’t know whether it is enough.” Zhen Xiaoyan nodded and her hands kept passing the food to him at the same speed.

Now Ye Lang understood that Zhen Xiaoyan hadn’t been angry with him the past days, she was just busy preparing the food for him for this year because he had mentioned it.

Looking at Zhen Xiaoyan’s smile, Ye Lang suddenly felt ashamed because he always asked for the food she cooked. He had never cared about her, but she had always cared about him.

He felt guilty.

“Fatty...” Ye Lang looked at Zhen Xiaoyan with watery eyes.

“What’s wrong? Do you wonder why I didn’t come to you? That was because you were talking with your sister and Princess Qi. I had intended to come, when you finished the talk, but I didn’t expect you to come to me.” Zhen Xiaoyan said with joy, because he came to her first.

Perhaps it seemed to not be a big deal for Ye Lang, but it was completely different for her.

If he hadn’t come to her, she would have found him first in order to give the food to him. However, she felt that when Ye Lanyu and Princess Qi were present, she had to keep away from them.

This showed that she wasn’t angry with Ye Lang, or at the very least, her anger had faded in a very short period of time.

“Oh, actually, they like you very much so you shouldn’t fear them.” Ye Lang recalled that Zhen Xiaoyan was restrained in front of them.

“I know I am inferior to them.” Zhen Xiaoyan gently said.

“It doesn’t matter.” Ye Lang didn’t understand.

“In short, soon I will become a powerful alchemist like you.” Zhen Xiaoyan clenched her fist and seriously said.

Ye Lang didn’t understand, but he knew that recently Zhen Xiaoyan had practised alchemy a little harder. She used to spend most of her time in the cooking.

He was also curious about why Zhen Xiaoyan suddenly took part in this contest. It seemed that this was her aim.

“I can teach you.”

“No, I have to be famous. If I become famous, I will get rich.”

“Do you care about that?” Ye Lang knew Zhen Xiaoyan didn’t care about fame and wealth.

“Yes.” Zhen Xiaoyan didn’t think about it before, but at present, she had no choice but to say yes.

“Does it matter?” Ye Lang waved his hand.

“Yes.”

“My guess is that you won’t be keen on that soon.” Ye Lang believed that Zhen Xiaoyan won’t stick to it because it was not suitable for her, even though he was talented.

“Damn, you dare to look down on me. I’ll succeed.” Zhen Xiaoyan pursed her lips and protested.

Even while talking, the two were still passing the food, which made the other participants near them speechless and wondered how much food she had cooked.

Of course, everyone only pondered about this for a little while and soon they continued to greet and congratulate the other participants.

They didn’t understand.

At this moment, most people were congratulating these participants and their families for their entering the contest.

Ye Lanyu was being bothered by a group of people, so she wanted to ask Ye Lang to help her get rid of them, but at this moment, he was busy receiving the food, so he ignored her.

Because of that, Ye Lanyu and Princess Qi left respectively. They didn’t get along well, so under such circumstance, Princess Qi ran away at once.

Not only that, she also had to deal with the others. As a princess, she was the noblest among them, so she attracted the most attention.

Time passed...

After waiting for a long time, the main course was finally served, and the Emperor turned up.

“Today is your...”

Ye Lang believed that this time also, the Emperor’s speech would not be much different, talking about some or other nonsense. And this time, he delivered neither a long nor a brief speech.

“Now let’s start our farewell meal for the future pillars of our country.”

“I waited for it for a long time.” Ye Lang pulled over Zhen Xiaoyan to join Ye Lanyu, and took their seats. After this meal they would no longer meet for a long time.

It seemed that it would take them less than half an hour to finish this simple meal.

“Where is little Qi?” Ye Lang did not find Princess Qi and felt a little strange.

“I have no idea, she was here just now. All princesses and princes have left, they may be inside.” Ye Lanyu didn’t know much about the farewell banquet which was held once in ten years. Moreover, ten years ago, she was still just a child.

“Ye Lang, this dish tastes a little unpleasant. Don’t eat any more.” Zhen Xiaoyan frowned and said after tasting a little bit of the dish.

“I don’t find anything tasting unpleasant.” Ye Lang and Ye Lanyu didn’t find anything strange, nor did the others present.
