Lin Kesong swallowed his saliva and read the original English text in a gentle, eloquent manner.
She was a little nervous. If Jiang Qianfan kept correcting her pronunciation, breaking sentences, and explaining English vocabulary for her like the morning, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep that night.
After reading a whole paragraph, it is all about the description of the dining environment in the restaurant. Lin Kesong stopped and looked at Jiang Qianfan's face.
He raised his hand and patted the seat next to him.
"You're too far away. Sit down and read."
Lin Kesong became even more nervous.
What did Jiang Qianfan say? She must have heard it wrong, right
The bed was indeed quite big, and Jiang Qianfan was sitting in the center. With such a distance between myself and him, it is indeed a little laborious to read. But sitting side by side with Jiang Qianfan on the bed was something Lin Kesong could not even dream of.
Before Lin Kesong could react, Jiang Qianfan had already stretched out his arms and put the pillow next to him against the head of the bed.
If it was another man who made such an invitation, it would definitely be a conspiracy, although she never felt that she had the capital to be conspired.
But this person is Jiang Qianfan.
He has always been consistent in his words and deeds, even so cold that he does not eat human fireworks.
The thought of all the conspiracies of others should never have appeared in Jiang Qianfan's mind.
Lin Kesong sat up nervously and carefully moved his legs up. She thought she could only sit on the quilt, but she didn't expect Jiang Qianfan to say indifferently, "Cover your legs."
Could it be that he has been "left out" by the other party for too long, and when he heard a little bit of warm words, he felt completely unreal
Jiang Qianfan doesn't like nonsense, and he will not repeat what he has said.
Lin Kesong lifted the quilt, and the breath belonging to Jiang Qianfan rushed to his face.
Not so cold, even warm and refreshing, makes people suddenly have an urge to snuggle into his arms.
She knew that Jiang Qianfan's legs were not far from her, and she was apprehensive that she would touch him if she moved again.
She started to read, for the first time, she had no idea what was coming out of her mouth.
Because all her feelings and attention are given to the man around her.
She aimed at him out of the corner of her eyes, his profile was beautiful, and he kept looking straight ahead indifferently. His breathing was obviously calm, but in Lin Kesong's ears, it was like turbulent sea water in the dark, covering the sky without realizing it.
She knew that she had mispronounced several places, and also knew that her sentence was wrong, but Jiang Qianfan remained silent.
She even began to suspect that he was actually falling asleep with his eyes open.
Lin Kesong began to feel sleepy, she rubbed her eyes and stopped. I thought that if Jiang Qianfan didn't speak, then he was asleep and he could go back to his room.
She counted the seconds silently in her heart.
one two three four…
With heavy eyes, Lin Ke Song said to herself that she just closed her eyes and rested for a few seconds, and after a few seconds she got up and went back to her room.
It wasn't long before she tilted her head and leaned against the pillow, her thinking was completely distracted, and the little determination to wake up disappeared.
A few minutes later, the tablet she was holding tilted to one side and fell onto the quilt.
The man sitting still like a statue stretched out his hand and put the tablet on his other side.
Not long after, there was a soft sound in the room.
Jiang Qianfan turned his face sideways and slowly leaned over as if to confirm the source of the voice. He put one hand on Lin Kesong's pillow, and the other hand gently covered the quilt and pulled it upwards.
The good smell drew Lin Kesong to the side.
Something soft seemed to touch her cheek.
Everything is like an illusion.
Jiang Qianfan's hand went around the pillow, put Lin Kesong's upper body down, and pulled the quilt up.
His fingers brushed over the tip of her nose as he retracted, stopping. The fingertips slid across the bridge of her nose, forehead, sank into her hair, and stroked it lightly.
When she woke up again, she saw the European-style wall in a daze.
There was a faint sound of running water in the bathroom not far away.
Lin Kesong suddenly woke up and sat up suddenly.
Where is this place
She looked around blankly, the last memory in her mind was that she was sitting on the bed reading the news, and Jiang Qianfan was sitting beside her!
Turning his face to the side, Lin Kesong found that on the other side of the bed, the tablet was lying comfortably under the quilt.
So... this is Jiang Qianfan's room!
This bed is Jiang Qianfan's bed!
Even the quilt is Jiang Qianfan's quilt!
Countless exclamation marks weighed heavily in her brain, and Lin Kesong's only thought was: it's over.
At this moment, the bathroom door opened and Jiang Qianfan came out.
He had already put on his shirt, walked to the closet, pointed a finger, and took out a casual suit.
Lin Kesong sat in the same place, holding his breath, his heartbeat was about to explode.
She thought that if she occupied Jiang Qianfan's territory last night, even if he didn't kick her off, he would at least go to sleep in another room, right
Slowly stretching her arms, she was sure that the position beside her was still warm... So Jiang Qianfan was lying beside her yesterday.
He was already neatly dressed and walked towards her step by step.
Lin Ke Song subconsciously grasped the bed sheet and slowly raised his head.
"What time is it now?" Jiang Qianfan's voice was indifferent.
There was no one else here, he could only speak to her. So... he knew she was awake
Aren't you invisible? Don't be so sharp, okay
Lin Kesong couldn't touch his mobile phone, so he quickly touched the tablet from the side and turned it on.
"It's eight-twenty now."
"Go to Montgomery's at nine. Don't be late."
"understood!"
Lin Kesong threw off the quilt and rushed out of the door.
When she went back to the bathroom of her room and brushed her teeth and washed her face in the mirror, her ears turned red.
God, seeing Jiang Qianfan wearing a shirt in front of him in the morning... It feels so delicate.
Fortunately, she was not seen by other people, otherwise, if she was misunderstood, she would not be able to wash it out even if she jumped into the Pacific Ocean.
Just as she was washing, the hotel staff had pushed the dining cart into the suite and put breakfast on the table.
The whole breakfast was quiet. The only thing that Lin Kesong was happy about was that he didn't have to stand aside to read the news for him.
When they left the hotel door, Elise's car had already arrived.
Fortunately, Elise's clothes were also very ordinary, with an off-the-shoulder t-shirt and jeans, otherwise Lin Ke Song would have worried that she would be disrespected when she dressed up to meet a master in the culinary arts.
The car drove into a community and stopped in front of a four-story villa.
A circular arch was built outside the villa, with colorful balloons stuck on the arch and the words "Montgomery that never gets old" sprayed.
Many cars have been parked neatly outside the villa, and even luxury cars such as Aston and Bugatti.
There is even a castle-shaped inflatable air mattress on the lawn, and a man dressed as a clown guards the castle gate outside. Children's laughter and laughter were always heard in the castle. It's just that this clown's belly is too big. If he only looked at the silhouette, Lin Kesong would have thought it was KFC!
Outside the bouncy castle, you can see a dining table with plates and drinks on it. Many people were talking while eating.
When they saw Jiang Qianfan get out of the car and Elise walked slowly with him, their eyes were fixed on them.
Lin Kesong feels like walking the red carpet.
At this time, the big-bellied clown who was guarding the bouncy castle suddenly came to Jiang Qianfan and Elise and stretched out his hand to them.
The birthday party guests who were eating and talking laughed in unison.
Elise sighed, turned her head and said to Lin Kesong: "Crescent, go to the car and get the gift for Teacher Montgomery. Teacher, last year was The Flash, last year was Batman, I should Are you glad you didn't dress up as Superman this year?"
Only then did Lin Kesong understand that this big-bellied clown turned out to be Montgomery!
The clown didn't speak, just touched his big belly. Everyone laughed again.
Elise turned her head to look at Lin Kesong, raised her chin, and indicated why she hadn't passed yet.
Lin Kesong sighed in his heart, and when he was about to turn around, Jiang Qianfan suddenly said, "Do you know where the gift is?"
"I should be able to find it. The car is that big."
"I'll go with you." Jiang Qianfan patted the back of Elise's hand that was wrapping her arm, pulled out his hand, and stretched out in the direction of Lin Kesong.
Although he didn't directly say to let Elise go get the gift herself, Elise's face was a little unsightly.
The joy in Lin Kesong's heart!
This is probably the good result after the psychological communication with Jiang Qianfan last night.
"Forget it, George has already brought the gift." Although Elise still had a smile on her face, her expression was obviously not good-looking.
The Potbellied Clown happily accepted the gift and opened one of the boxes first. He looked in the direction of Jiang Qianfan and Elise, Elise smiled and said, "This is my gift."
Opening it up, it turned out to be a very dreamy carousel night light.
The Joker smiled and gave Elise a big bear hug as a thank you.
Then he pointed to Jiang Qianfan and opened the remaining gift box.
A little yellow duck popped out and just hit the clown's face.
Everyone laughed, the clown touched his face, pointed at Jiang Qianfan and waved his finger.
Lin Kesong didn't understand what this meant, but Elise spoke up: "Qianfan, Mr. Montgomery doesn't seem to believe that you chose this gift. He thinks it should be Mel's idea."
"It was Mel's idea." Jiang Qianfan admitted generously.
Montgomery's eyes fell on Lin Kesong along Jiang Qianfan's shoulder.
"What's the name of this lovely lady?"
This was the first time Lin Kesong heard Montgomery's voice. Kind, with a bit of mischief. No wonder Jiang Qianfan said he was childish.
"Hello, Mr. Montgomery, my name is Lin Ke Song, you can call me Ke Song."
"Your name is so cute that it makes you want to bite down. Both Qianfan and Elise are my students, but I don't know who you are with today?"
Elise laughed and said half a step forward, covering Montgomery's ear, "She is the new student accepted by Qianfan."
"Qianfan's student? My God, even in my dreams, I never thought that Qianfan would give even a little thought to teaching students." Montgomery tilted his head, "So laudable, you came to my birthday party, Have you prepared a present?"
Lin Kesong was a little surprised, she looked at Jiang Qianfan, he clearly said that he didn't need to prepare gifts.
"That's it? But it doesn't matter. Give me a kiss as a birthday present."
Montgomery turned his face away and pointed to his cheek.
Here, the veneer ceremony is not a very excessive thing, and Lin Kesong doesn't need to actually kiss it.
She knew that Montgomery was teasing herself, so when she was about to collide generously, she felt someone grab her arm and pulled her back with great force.
"Teacher, you are still as childish as ever and like to tease people."
Jiang Qianfan's voice sounded.
Montgomery shrugged his shoulders regretfully and said, "Qianfan, you're still as unpleasant as ever."
After speaking, Montgomery turned his head and went back to the bouncy castle to play with the children.
Elise took Jiang Qianfan to the guest room.
Listening to them, Lin Ke Song probably guessed their identities. Some are well-known critics, editors, journalists in the food world, others are giants in the restaurant industry, and some are star chefs like Elise. They are all elites in the field, only she is… out of place.
But Lin Kesong has always been casual, and she will not force herself to integrate into a world that cannot be integrated into.
When he came to the table and looked at the food, Lin Kesong almost didn't laugh out loud.
Piggy wraps, mini burgers, jelly bean doughnuts…
How to see how it is food for children.
She grabbed a mini burger and took a bite and half of it was gone.
But it was only one sip, and she was attracted by the wonderful taste. The croquette inside was so fluffy that it rustled as it collided with the teeth. The patties were very tender and the broth of the meat was completely locked in. The shredded cauliflower inside seems to have been seasoned a long time ago, sour and sweet, very refreshing. The dough of the hamburger is also very soft, with the fragrance of wheat. The sauce inside melds with the flavor of the meatloaf for a unique taste.
Not only children will like it, but adults will also like it.
Who is making these foods
Although it is just a simple mini hamburger, Lin Kesong can feel the mastery of the taste and the combination of ingredients.
Just as she was savoring it, someone suddenly covered her eyes from behind.
She was startled, unable to control her balance and fell backward, just slammed into the other's arms.
She clasped the other person's arm subconsciously, thinking that someone must be playing a prank.
"That... Sir, I think you've got the wrong person!"
The other party still did not let go. She could even feel each other's cheeks against hers, rubbing lightly.
Lin Kesong's heart became angry.
She knew that people who could attend a Montgomery birthday party were either educated or well-known, but their behavior was clearly inconsistent.
Elise looked over, and when she saw this scene, she just pulled the corners of her lips and continued to chat with others.
Before them was David, president of the Gourmet Association. He was very interested in Jiang Qianfan's new Chinese restaurant, Xingyue Restaurant in Washington, and expressed many of his thoughts and opinions. Although Jiang Qianfan did not speak, he kept listening.
"Sir, if you don't let go, don't blame me for being rude." Lin Kesong lowered his voice in English and warned the other party very seriously.
What Lin Kesong never imagined was that the other party actually got worse!
She felt her ears smack, her shoulders shrugged subconsciously, she wanted to avoid the other party, but the other party kept covering her eyes.
Lin Kesong's ears turned red. Because the other party not only sipped her, she could clearly feel the bastard's tongue hooking over her ear, although it was only for a very brief moment.
Just when she raised her foot mercilessly and was about to kick the other person's knee backwards, a familiar voice rang in her ears.
"Your English has improved a lot! That sentence just now has no accent at all."
The opponent's hand let go, Lin Kesong turned his head and saw Song Yiran's smiling face.
In the warm sunlight, he looked very laid-back, not to mention the lazy smile that always hung on the corners of his lips.
"You... how did you come here?"
"Well, someone invited me to come." Song Yiran asked with a smile, leaning forward with her pockets in her pocket. "Did you think I was plotting against you just now?"
At that moment, Lin Kesong almost raised his hand to cover his ears, but she forcibly held back.
"You're so boring! When I said I was going to Washington, why didn't you say you were coming too?"
"If I don't ask you, don't you plan to tell me you're coming to Washington? In your heart, don't you think that even the best friends don't need to tell each other about their whereabouts in detail?"
Lin Kesong understood. This guy is really a little belly.
"Why would someone invite you?" Lin Kesong looked left and right, "Where is your new girlfriend? You must be here as a male companion, right?"
Song Yiran's finger flicked on Lin Kesong's forehead: "What are you guessing? I was invited by one of my college classmates. He is Mr. Montgomery's grandson. He prepared all the food today. of."
"Really? His cooking is amazing! Have you tried that mini burger? It's delicious!"
Song Yiran shrugged his shoulders with his pockets in his pockets: "I only know that his cooking skills are half a catty to yours. I don't believe how much he can improve in half a month."
Lin Kesong picked up a little pig to wrap the carpet, bit off half of it, and sent the remaining half to Song Yiran: "Look! The bread on the outside of the sausage is very soft, and the sausage is lightly fried with butter before it goes into the oven. It was too crunchy to bite into. He also seasoned it with a little basil and thyme, and it wasn't greasy at all!"
"real?"
"real!"
Song Yiran suddenly lowered his head and took the remaining piglet wrapped in the rug into his mouth from Lin Kesong's hand.
His lips touched his fingers, and the touch of softness was fleeting.
"Well... I really didn't expect his level to be so high? Could it be that he found a gunman to do these things for him to make his grandfather happy?"
"Hey, take what you want to eat! What do you want to eat?"
"Because I know you. You have taken all kinds of vaccines, and the results of the physical examination are very healthy. It is a high-quality blood source for voluntary blood donation."
This guy is babbling nonsense again.
But with him around, Lin Kesong suddenly felt that this party that he was out of tune with became cute.
At this time, a young man came out of the villa with brown hair and a cheerful smile. Many people greeted him, and he smiled and waved to each other.
He came to Song Yiran's side and patted Song Yiran's shoulder: "Hey, Song! Did you eat anything I made?"
"I've eaten it, and it tastes good. Why didn't I know you had such a level? In the previous barbecue conference, the lamb chops you grilled made me want to vomit when I saw the lamb chops for a whole month." Song Yiran looked at Lin Kesong and introduced Say, "This is my classmate at New York Business School, Bruce Montgomery."
"Montgomery... So he's Mr. Montgomery's grandson?"
"Yeah," Song Yiran raised her arm and put it directly on Lin Kesong's shoulder, with a good attitude of two brothers, "Hey, Bruce, this is my most important friend, Lin Kesong."
"Oh, Ke Song! Hello!" Blue shook hands with Lin Ke Song, his fingers were very long, making Lin Ke Song suddenly think of Jiang Qianfan, "Song! If Ke Song is your most important friend, then What am I to you?"
"She and I have known each other for ten years. If one day you and I have known more than Ke Song, then you can also become my 'most important' friend." Song Yiran pressed Lin Ke Song into her arms. pressure.
The feeling of the bones being crushed made her hurt.
Her ears were pressed against Song Yiran's chest, his heartbeat was like a steady mountain, like another world she never knew.
"Okay, hello Crosong. Do you feel familiar when you see me?" Blue deliberately leaned his face towards Lin Crosong.
"Because you look like Mr. Montgomery?" Lin Kesong asked puzzled.
"I mean, we're all in that MasterChef competition that Foodie and the Gourmet Alliance put together! I saw you on TV. Don't you remember me?"
Lin Kesong shook his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I didn't watch TV much, and was inexplicably told to pass the audition."
