Chapter 486 - 473: Difficulty Adapting?
Su Yu hurriedly rushed to the restaurant. As soon as the receptionist heard his name, they immediately led him into the restaurant and brought him to a private room.The private room Su Yu booked included a private chef, an open kitchen, and two dedicated waiters.
Qin Yun, Pei Yan, and the others were already seated at the dining table, opposite them was the private chef who was handling the leopard coral grouper and mud crab.
Because Qin Yun wanted to eat, Xiao Li specifically instructed the chef to help Qin Yun handle the remaining fish and shrimp.
Originally, they only planned to make two dishes, but now they could enjoy several dishes, and Qin Yun was quite pleased.
"Drink some water."
Pei Yan glanced back at Qin Yun, only to find her looking a bit unwell.
She frowned as she watched the chef handle the leopard coral grouper, slicing open its belly and removing the innards.
Although the chef was very careful, Qin Yun still caught a glimpse of the fish’s belly, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly.
For some reason, even though such scenes weren’t usually bloody to her, she suddenly found them hard to accept.
Qin Yun shifted her gaze away.
Pei Yan casually poured her a glass of lemon water. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Qin Yun shook her head; she didn’t feel like drinking water at the moment.
Li Ning and Bai Ziyu looked over upon hearing the conversation, and Bai Ziyu reacted quickly by calling over a waiter to open the pleated curtains outside.
"Sorry, we didn’t consider that Sister Yun might not be able to handle these scenes. It was our oversight."
Bai Ziyu, accustomed to shooting primitive life scenes outside all year round, was naturally used to such things.
Li Ning’s character was straightforward, without any of these concerns, and for Pei Yan, they wouldn’t think it was an issue. So, they didn’t think too much of it.
But now, Qin Yun was so uncomfortable she seemed like she was about to throw up.
Qin Yun waved her hand. "It’s fine, it’s fine. Maybe it’s just some acclimation issue coming here for the first time; I’ll be better in a bit."
With the bloody scene out of sight, Qin Yun felt significantly better. She took a deep breath, and her pale face finally had a hint of color.
When Su Yu arrived, he saw the three of them looking at Qin Yun with concern.
He discreetly found a corner to sit down, observing the four of them interaction.
With no more of the chef handling the ingredients being shown, the livestream fans actually howled for quite some time. Some even remarked that the chefs at CS were very good-looking, and the chef handling the ingredients for Qin Yun and the others had particularly nice hands.
[Oh, my Yunyun missed such a beautiful scene, what a pity.]
[When did Qin Yun become so delicate?]
[Could she be pretending, considering she’s been taken back by the Tang Family to be a young lady, and has to maintain the noble visage? Have you ever seen a rich young miss like Qin Yun, climbing and jumping around, and able to kick a grown man flying?]
[Is this a script?]
[Can the haters for once not bash mindlessly? Does your script have such realism? Did you not see Yunyun’s unwell face, pale as paper? No one can act that well; she must be genuinely uncomfortable.]
[I think so too, just now, Mr. Pei poured her water, and she couldn’t even drink it.]
[Stop trying to wash it away, do you seriously think being found by the Tang Family turns a crow into a phoenix? It’s disgusting, acting so real.]
[Honestly, I’ve never liked Qin Yun; she seems alright on the outside but is full of schemes beneath, completely unacceptable and always trending on hot searches, clearly bought deliberately!]
[Haha, if you don’t like it, just leave, okay? Don’t disgust people here.]
Because of Qin Yun’s unease, the livestream chat was almost torn apart, with many people saying Qin Yun was pretentious and acting, but her fans stood firmly by her, quickly shutting down the haters.
And then the door to the private room was opened again, as a waiter brought in four small white jade cups.
"Miss, this is a new dessert developed by the kitchen. You’re invited to try it and give some valuable feedback."
The waiter placed the first dessert cup in front of Qin Yun, and as they opened the lid, a refreshing aroma wafted out.
The discomfort was dispelled by this refreshing scent.
Qin Yun felt much better and asked, "What dessert is this?"
"Manager Li heard you were unwell and specifically asked the kitchen to make a cooling dessert for you. We don’t usually prepare this in winter."
The waiter bent over respectfully to explain in Qin Yun’s ear, speaking softly so that the others couldn’t hear.
Qin Yun nodded. "Thank you."
The manager looked serious, but the attention to detail was admirable—the kind of thing she’d have to praise her brother for later.
Qin Yun took a bite of the dessert; it was refreshingly mild and indeed quite comfortable.
Seeing that Qin Yun was feeling better, Pei Yan relaxed his brows.
He started typing a message on his phone to Zheng Qian, asking him to arrange for a doctor to come to check on Qin Yun.
Zheng Qian on the other end of WeChat: [Should I still have a doctor come over now?]
Pei Yan: [Yes, have the doctor follow closely, so I can be more reassured.]
Qin Yun had never been like this. This time going abroad, she might have felt unwell due to the weather and climate, so having a doctor around felt more reassuring.
[Okay.]
Zheng Qian immediately made arrangements.
Putting away his phone, Pei Yan unobtrusively glanced at Qin Yun, confirming that she was indeed alright without watching the fish gutting scene. That’s when he looked away.
Suddenly, Su Yu, who had been watching all this time, regretted coming a bit.
The others, unaware of the situation between the two, didn’t think much of it. But being informed, every time he saw the two together, it gave him a toothache!
Previously, he didn’t find Pei Yan this gushy!
Meanwhile, the chef in the kitchen had finished prepping the ingredients, tidied everything, and then opened the pleated curtains, stepping out.
"The ingredients are ready."
The four sitting there were left in confusion. What did this mean?
Were they supposed to cook themselves?
Pei Yan looked at Su Yu, and Su Yu shrugged, giving him a helpless look.
Li Ning, dumbfounded, said, "What’s this, revenge upgraded?"
When they arrived earlier, they didn’t hear any chef say they had to cook themselves.
Bai Ziyu nodded. "It seems so."
The two exchanged a glance and got up to follow him into the kitchen.
Pei Yan also rolled up his sleeves.
Qin Yun finished the last bite of dessert, then stood up, the chef at the door smiling at them broadly.
Li Ning and Bai Ziyu, without any hesitation, walked over to the cooking station, put on the aprons that had been prepared, and said to Qin Yun, "Sister Yun, you handle the ginger, scallions, and garlic on the side, we’ll deal with this."
As soon as Qin Yun entered the kitchen, Pei Yan handed over a bunch of scallions, saying she should clean them.
Actually, there wasn’t much to clean; the kitchen had washed everything.
Holding the scallions, Qin Yun looked at Pei Yan with pleading eyes.
Pei Yan’s lips curled up, "Wash them and chop them a bit."
"To help everyone complete the task more smoothly, the CS chef can guide everyone on-site; if you have any questions, feel free to ask."
