Hear My Heart: My World Falls into the River of Love

Chapter 12: Blind Date Convention - Who is your auntie? Call me daddy.

He Xiu had originally intended to go out to eat lunch when he just happened to see the brief scene with Jian Yan's high school classmates. At this moment, it was already time for the first shift of employees to have lunch. When he saw Jian Yan carry her lunch box and walk towards the staff dining hall, he also felt too lazy to go outside and headed directly to the staff dining hall instead.

People were sitting in twos and threes in the dining hall. As soon as Jian Yan found an empty seat to sit down, she opened her super-insulated, three-layered lunchbox. Even though several hours had already passed, the food inside was still piping hot.

He Xiu saw where she was sitting and picked up a tray before heading to the canteen window. Today, the dining hall was serving stewed beef and potatoes. The auntie working at the canteen saw that Director He had come to her own dining hall to eat and gave him extra beef.

It was nearly impossible to see the potatoes.

He Xiu thanked the dining hall auntie and carried his tray to sit opposite Jian Yan. Jian Yan, slightly surprised, raised her head. After seeing He Xiu, she was even more surprised.

Ke—ke— She covered her mouth and coughed lightly. She nearly didn't stand up. "Director He."

He Xiu looked at her and chuckled. "I simply came over to eat lunch. There's no need to be so nervous."

"Oh, mn..." Although Jian Yan's mouth made a sound of agreement, her heart was still somewhat uncomfortable.

He Xiu, on the other hand, was rather normal; he even inspected her lunchbox. "Do you normally bring your own food to eat?"

Jian Yan nodded. "Yes."

"Is the dining hall food not tasty?"

"No, no." If Director He believed that the dining hall food was of questionable quality, then the uncles and aunts working in the dining hall might not allow her to enter the hall in the future. "In terms of the staff's meals, the quality can already be considered good. I merely have picky tastes, that's all."

"So it's like this." He Xiu was still studying her lunch: , , and . "You cooked this yourself?"

"Mhmm."

"You got up early to make this?"

"Mn, I generally get up very early in the morning. I began stewing the pork soup last night; it was ready by this morning. If I have an evening shift, I would have cooked in the afternoon."

He Xiu chuckled. "I couldn't tell that you were this virtuous."

Jian Yan thought for a moment. Nan Si seemed to have said the same thing. "Because I dress very fashionably, I don't look like I'm someone who can cook?"

He Xiu bowed his head and smiled. "Has there been anyone else who said this to you?

Jian Yan shrugged. "No one."

He Xiu said, "Your meal aesthetically looks good, but I don't know whether it also tastes good." The corners of his lips curved into a slight smile. He looked at Jian Yan. "Do you mind if I taste a bit?"

When several colleagues sit together and eat, they would inevitably taste each other's meal. Since Jian Yan always brought her own food, many female colleagues had tasted her cooking already.

But He Xiu wasn't a female colleague. Theoretically, she should mind very much, but he was sitting across from her and had been chatting with her for a very long time. She actually... didn't feel as disagreeable as she had expected.

She picked up a clean spoon and scooped a piece of pork chop onto He Xiu's plate.

This time, she pondered, A man who looks attractive and has a pleasant voice really can receive extra care from the world.
