Chapter 126: Chapter 123 You are My Human World’s Fireworks

"When will we have dinner together?"

Chu Yan replied softly, "Sure, just let me know when."

After he spoke, he thought for a moment and added, "How about heading back together later? These past few days I’ve found some secret recipes for making desserts. I’m not on call tonight, so it’s a good time to go try them."

"Desserts?" Qin Zhao’s eyes lit up. "What kind of desserts?"

"Matcha pudding, half-baked cheesecake, sea-salt chiffon cake, and others. There’s quite a variety."

Chu Yan handed her his phone, which had a document listing these items.

Qin Zhao looked at the photos and really wanted to try them.

"Seems like the kind of stuff you can buy at cake shops, right?"

"Definitely not as delicious as the ones I make."

Seeing his confident expression, Qin Zhao said, "Then you’ll have to make them tonight!"

"We’re missing some ingredients at home; I need to stop by the supermarket later."

Hearing Chu Yan’s words, Qin Wan said, "You two don’t have to stay here with me, head to the supermarket first."

It was rare for her to see the two of them getting along so harmoniously, and she was keen for them to enjoy each other’s company.

"No rush, Chu Yan hasn’t finished work yet."

"There’s nothing much left to do; I just need to change out of my clothes and I can go."

Chu Yan was still wearing his doctor’s white coat.

"Shall we go to the supermarket now?"

"Uh-huh, just wait for me a bit."

Chu Yan hurried to the office to take off his white coat, then informed his assistant Ling Yi.

The two left the hospital and got into Chu Yan’s car.

This was Qin Zhao’s first time in his car; she used to try to avoid riding with him.

"What do you want for dinner?"

Chu Yan drove while asking her.

"Anything."

Qin Zhao really didn’t know what to eat. She said "anything," but in truth, she felt like eating anything and everything.

"We’ve had a lot of seafood in the past few days, how about I take you for hot pot? Something spicy to drive away the cold. Ling Yi said there’s a really good hot pot place he and his wife often go to."

During his breaks at work, Chu Yan would ask Ling Yi about good places to eat in Imperial City.

The look Ling Yi gave him was as if he had seen a ghost.

After all, Dr. Chu was like an unattainable flower and had a strong preference for cleanliness. He never joined them for group meals and was said not to favor dining out, so why was he asking about this now?

"Can’t we just have hot pot at home?"

Qin Zhao felt that the poached chicken they had before was pretty much like hot pot.

As long as you have a pot on the table to cook in, isn’t that hot pot?

Chu Yan said, "Because I want to go with you."

He wanted to do all the things couples do, to experience the hustle and bustle of the Human World.

It made him feel like his existence in this world had some significance.

And not just buried in hatred, neglecting the truest part of himself, gradually forgetting what he was like at the very beginning.

Qin Zhao turned her head to look at him, "No one to go with?"

He nodded.

Actually, there were people, but he didn’t want to.

He always felt out of place with those people. He didn’t want to enter their world, and he didn’t want them invading his.

Chu Yan thought he’d spend his life in solitude and hatred.

Until Qin Zhao came along.

The night seemed to have a bright light, signaling him to rise and see the beauty of this world.

His initial special feelings for her might have been because of that bizarre dream.

But now, Chu Yan knew clearly that he really liked her, and he really liked the feeling of having her by his side.

This made his life so full of vitality, instead of being stagnant.

"Then let’s go have a try."

Qin Zhao had never had hot pot outside before, and was quite curious about how good that restaurant could be.

How had she not realized in her last life that she loved to eat so much?

Probably it was the curse of Fasting; not eating had made her miss out on a lot of delicious food!

Hmph, even if she had to practice Golden Core Fasting in this life, she would still enjoy good food!!

The two first went to the supermarket.

Chu Yan had picked the ingredients when he noticed that the shopping cart had been filled with a pile of junk food.

He couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on, "Eating too much of this isn’t good."

"Shut up!"

Qin Zhao brought over a huge bucket of cola.

Chu Yan couldn’t shut up because he’d noticed in recent times that Qin Zhao had a problem.

That was, she wanted to eat whatever she saw, but often after trying a little of each, she was full.

Chu Yan was a person who liked to be economical and prevent waste; he felt they shouldn’t be wasteful, then every time it was he who ate the leftovers!!

"I don’t want to eat these things."

"No, you do."

"..." Fine, he did.

Carrying two full shopping bags, they left to put them in the back of the car, and only then did they go eat hot pot.

Arriving home after eating hot pot, it was almost seven in the evening.

Chu Yan tidied things up a bit, then went to the kitchen to figure out how to make desserts.

He had to admit, he had a talent for cooking.

At a little past eight, Qin Zhao successfully ate a sea salt chiffon cake with an exploding center.

Scooping into the cake with a spoon, the sea salt filling oozed out, a bite enough to make one blissfully ascend to heaven.

It was fucking delicious!!

There was a tiny person inside Qin Zhao’s heart screaming, but she didn’t show it.

She couldn’t appear too excited, or next thing, Chu Yan would get carried away.

If he got carried away and didn’t do well in the future, she would miss out!

"Is it delicious?"

Chu Yan came over to ask when Qin Zhao’s phone suddenly rang.

She answered the call; it was Huo Xun from the police station.

"Qin Zhao, Ye Jin was the one you reported and had arrested, right?"

"Yes, what happened to him?"

"He’s dead."

Qin Zhao paused, not even noticing Chu Yan standing by her side.

"How did he die?"

"We had him locked up in the jail, and no one had gone in during that time. But just now, the guards found him dismembered into six parts. Judging by the expression on the corpse, he must have been frightened before his death."

Qin Zhao didn’t say anything for a while, thinking that Wang Xuan might have something to do with this.

"The prisoner in the cell next door said he heard Ye Jin scream around seven o’clock; it seemed like he said he saw a ghost. Are you free right now? Could you come over and take a look?"

"Okay, I’ll come over in a bit."

Qin Zhao hung up the phone with a complicated expression.

Only then did she notice that Chu Yan’s handsome face was right in front of her.

"Why aren’t you responding to me?"

His eyes conveyed a touch of grievance as he leaned in a little closer.

Just an inch separated their noses.

His cold, handsome features were as if sculpted by the gods, perfection itself.

Even up close, no flaw could be discerned, and the vibrant red mole at the corner of his eye gave off an allure of cold desire.

"Uh, I was on the phone."

She was about to kiss him, and Qin Zhao involuntarily held her breath, her ears tinting red.

Chu Yan curved the corner of his lips, chuckled, and wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth with his finger.

He stood up and then started eating the cake.

The recently unravelled Qin Zhao: "......"

Damn bastard, asking for a beating, right?

Qin Zhao rubbed her hot cheeks, then said to him, "I need to go to the police station."

"I’ll take you there."

Chu Yan had heard parts of the conversation while she was on the phone.

"Aren’t you tired from the day? Just rest at home."

Chu Yan had already grabbed the car keys and gave her a glance, "No more talking. Let’s go."

Qin Zhao hastily took another bite of the cake, then went to the entryway to put on her shoes.
