"Haha, it is also a talent to make the dishes so unpalatable that it creates a psychological shadow!" Blu blinked, "However, I already know who your mentor is. Only Jiang Qianfan will not fail at all. Putting the gains and losses in the eyes, I will take you to participate in the activities of people in the industry openly. And my teacher, almost never appeared at the same time as me. "

Having said that, Lin Kesong suddenly realized that if she didn't even finish in the top six in that competition, everyone would know that her teacher was Jiang Qianfan.

She would make him disgraced.

"Hey! What are you thinking?" Song Yiran snapped her fingers in front of her.

"Ah, nothing..." Lin Kesong subconsciously looked in Jiang Qianfan's direction.

He was calm and calm.

Could it be that this guy really isn't worried at all about losing his face as an unimproved apprentice

At this time, a fat old man in his 60s came to the center of the guests with a wine glass, raised his hand and tapped the glass, and the crisp sound attracted everyone's attention.

"Thank you for coming to my birthday party!"

It turned out that this is what Montgomery looked like after taking off the clown costume, and it was really very similar to Grandpa KFC.

"This is not a serious banquet. You don't need to be too graceful, and you don't need to be dressed so gorgeously that you don't know if you're here for my birthday or for New York Fashion Week!"

Everyone laughed in unison.

"You guys are here to celebrate my birthday, which means the most important thing is to make me happy!"

"Of course!" A noted food reporter responded loudly, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.

Everyone was talking about it, and they all said that they didn't know what kind of bad idea Montgomery was going to use to trick everyone.

"Today's first game is guaranteed to surprise everyone! Bruce, if you like a girl, remember to stand beside her now!" Montgomery winked at his grandson Blue, and then from He took out a napkin from his pocket, "Please suck up this napkin with your mouth and pass it to the next person. The next person should suck it carefully and pass it to the person below. If you lose the paper, or accidentally lick the napkin, you will lose. Those who lose will have to drink a drink specially prepared by me to ensure that you will never forget it!”

When it came to that special drink, everyone showed lingering fears and took a small step back.

"Of course, if any of you really want to kiss someone, and even stand firm in front of my special drink, I don't mind watching you break through this thin napkin and kiss! "

The tense atmosphere just now seemed to be alive again.

"Do you want to play this game with everyone?" Elise leaned towards Jiang Qianfan and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Qianfan didn't answer. He turned his face slightly and seemed to be listening carefully.

"Are you looking for Lin Kesong?" Elise raised the corners of her lips, with a mocking smile in her eyes, but her tone of voice was the same as usual.

"What's up with her?"

"She's nothing, but you must never have imagined that she was with Mr. Song."

"Snr's new shareholder Song Yiran?" Jiang Qianfan's voice cooled.

"Although I don't remember how the name was pronounced, it was indeed Mr. Song, who dined in our restaurant that day, and you asked me to describe his looks and temperament for you. He was with Mr. Montgomery's grandson Blue. Together, it seems familiar."

Elise waited for Jiang Qianfan's reply.

"unnecessary."

It's obviously cutting-edge, but in Elise's view, there are too many meanings that cannot be determined.

"Then... Now let me show you how to play the game!" Montgomery was full of anticipation, and the expression on his face was no different from that of a four- or five-year-old child waiting for Halloween.

He put the napkin on his face, took a light breath, and the paper was firmly attached to his lips. Then he ran excitedly to one of the women of his age with short silver hair, Mrs Bell.

The other party was a little surprised. When Montgomery posted it, Mrs. Bell almost didn't stand still. But she quickly reacted, grabbed the napkin, and turned her granddaughter aside.

Everyone laughed lightly.

Montgomery smiled and held Mrs. Bell's hand, blinked and said to everyone, "Let's all come and kiss! Just like me, seize the opportunity!"

Mrs. Bell is a seasoned gourmet in the food industry, and she has unearthed many rookies in culinary skills that have later won Michelin stars. Widowed at an early age, she had a hard life at first, and Montgomery was always behind her as a friend. The friendship between the two is also a story in the industry. But Mrs. Bell, who indulged in her deceased husband's nostalgia, never fully accepted Montgomery, which made many people sigh.

But today, when Montgomery kissed Mrs. Bell through the napkin, everyone smelled sweetness.

Mrs. Bell said with a smile: "There are fifty-four guests present today, not including children. If everyone can successfully pass this facial tissue in one minute, I will agree to Montgomery's proposal."

The words just fell, and after less than a second of silence, everyone applauded.

It was originally just a game, but all the guests suddenly became serious, and many people whispered to discuss countermeasures, and some people have already taken out napkins and started practicing. From their attitude towards this game, Lin Kesong can feel their respect for Montgomery and their hope for happiness for the two of them.

Lin Ke Song looked at Song Yiran a little embarrassedly, she had never played such a game before. Although it's just a napkin, I can almost feel the other person's lips and temperature... It's really embarrassing!

Montgomery, this is the kissing game! How did you come up with this! It's not childish, it's just bad-hearted!

Looking at the other guests, although some of them seemed embarrassed at first, when they heard what Mrs. Bell said, they all let go and threw themselves into the game.

Lin Kesong looked in the direction of Jiang Qianfan and Elise. Jiang Qianfan obviously heard the rules of the game, but there was still no other expression on his face. On the contrary, Elise, covering his ears, did not know what she was saying.

Jiang Qianfan always kept a certain distance from others. Lin Kesong had only seen such an intimate gesture when he was with Elise.

Will he play this game

Elise is by his side, and they won't be separated when they are playing games, right

It doesn't feel much different than kissing Elise, right? If it was someone else, Jiang Qianfan couldn't bear it at all, but if Elise...he would gladly accept it...

"Hey, you're not going to lose face to Mr. Montgomery, are you? He's looking at you righteously? If you decline his game invitation, I guess he'll kick you out of the house." Elise said half-jokingly.

"I know." Jiang Qianfan replied calmly.

"I'm on your left, and on the right... it's David, the chairman of the Food Association." Elise explained kindly, looking at Jiang Qianfan, as if she wanted to see something from his expression.

Jiang Qianfan remained silent.

Elise looked in Lin Kesong's direction: "Do you want me to call Kesong? But she seems to be doing fine with Mr. Song. They should be old acquaintances. Mr. Song takes good care of her. ."

"No." Jiang Qianfan's voice was like a cold wind passing through the country under the warm sunlight.

He took a half step back, obviously not planning to play this game. After all, he couldn't see, and Montgomery knew that he didn't like to be in contact with people. Even if he quit, Montgomery shouldn't really be angry with him.

Seeing Elise looking at him, Lin Kesong hurriedly looked away.

She tugged at Song Yiran's sleeve, and the other party raised his lips and lowered his body: "What's wrong? Are you embarrassed to play this game?"

This guy Song Yiran, of course, has played all kinds of games, which is a little bit of a child for him.

"I was just thinking that the napkin came from somewhere. If it came to us in the end, it might have been broken."

"Is that so? I thought you were embarrassed, and even your ears turned red."

Song Yiran stretched out his hand to pull Lin Kesong's ear, but Lin Kesong quickly raised his hand to cover it.

"It's not red, it's a lie!"

"Maybe someone will really lick the napkin, in order to kiss the person he wants to kiss!" Song Yiran's smile turned bad no matter how.

Montgomery's voice rose, he clapped his hands, and all the guests moved.

"Alright, alright! Give everyone a thirty-second chance to stand beside the person you want to 'kiss'! The countdown begins!"

Blue was pulled over by a group of elders about the same age as Montgomery, and the whole party scene suddenly looked like a mahjong table that had been disrupted.

"Song! Come together!"

The relatives and friends who were with Blu also called Song Yiran over.

"This is coming!" Song Yiran responded loudly.

He grabbed Lin Kesong's wrist, turned around with a smile and said, "Even if you are kissed by uncles and aunts, it's not a big deal, right?"

Lin Kesong laughed and suddenly felt relieved. This is really just a game, and you should blend in with the atmosphere instead of wiggling.

Soon, a large circle was formed.

Montgomery and Mrs. Bell stood in the center of the circle, touching their chins to survey the circle of guests.

"Elise and Chiho, where have you been?"

After the crowd, Elise's voice came.

"Here it is, teacher! Qianfan will not participate in this game. I will accompany him to chat with him."

"How can you not participate! If the two of you don't participate, there will be fifty-two people. This is done in one minute. It's really pediatric, it's so unchallenging! You must participate!"

Montgomery spoke very earnestly.

Elise had no choice but to smile and say, "Okay alright teacher, let's come here."

After speaking, Elise walked over with Jiang Qianfan in her arms.

"Here... is there anyone you think 'can'?"

Elise whispered beside Jiang Qianfan.

Many women looked over, clearly hoping that Jiang Qianfan would choose their side, but because he didn't show any expression on his face, he didn't dare to invite him.

Maybe for Lin Kesong, Jiang Qianfan, a man, has some shortcomings that make it difficult to get along with, but to others, he is a very attractive and successful person and a man of the industry.

Jiang Qianfan held the blind stick and patted the back of Elise's hand, indicating that he could take care of himself.

Elise frowned, but in the end the hospital that respected Jiang Qianfan took her hand back from his arm.

Jiang Qianfan's pace was steady, his blind stick was almost suspended in the air, and he was always about two centimeters away from the lawn before falling.

Whenever he passed by, everyone turned to look at him subconsciously, as if they were curious about who he would choose to stand by.

When Jiang Qianfan was about to go around behind her, Lin Kesong turned around, swallowed his saliva and meditated in his heart: He doesn't know where I am... He doesn't know where I am...

But God obviously didn't hear Lin Kesong's prayer. Jiang Qianfan stopped behind her and politely said to an older woman beside Lin Kesong, "Is that Mrs. Smith?"

"Yes. How did you know it was me?" Mrs Smith looked surprised.

"I smell your orange blossom perfume. Excuse me, may I stand by your side?"

Mrs. Smith laughed. "Certainly, young man. I didn't expect my perfume to impress your nose so deeply."

"thanks."

Mrs. Smith naturally took Jiang Qianfan's arm, turned her face to him and said, "Montgomery is still the same, and likes to see everyone's embarrassed and distressed expressions. But today's game is quite interesting. It is only through close contact that we can begin to understand each other.”

"Yes, ma'am."

Elise, who originally wanted to come over, was pulled over by several young female guests and could not get away.

Lin Kesong, who was standing on the other side of Jiang Qianfan, was inexplicably nervous.

Her heart was beating fast, and her arm was less than two centimeters away from Jiang Qianfan. She didn't dare to get closer to him, or even dared to speak, she confirmed whether there was any smell on her body. She knew how keen Jiang Qianfan's sense of smell and hearing was, so she nervously confirmed again and again that she had not left any clues for Jiang Qianfan to choose this position.

His palms began to sweat slightly.

Although Jiang Qianfan still speaks very little, he has always respected the elders very much. No matter what Mrs. Smith said to him, whether gossip or joking, he would respond.

Lin Kesong took a breath. Jiang Qianfan's face had never been turned in her direction. It seemed that he didn't know that the person on the other side of him was her. Maybe he thought that the elders were standing here.

If he is playing games for a while, will he notice

Then how will he react

Will it push her away like a germ? Or do you feel like you've been tricked by her

If it's the latter, that's bad. After all, as a student, she was clearly by his side but didn't say a word, it was really suspicious!

Lin Kesong didn't dare to look at Jiang Qianfan, and kept leaning towards Song Yiran, trying to distance himself from Jiang Qianfan.

Song Yiran on the side lowered her eyes and looked at Lin Kesong with her head lowered, her ears turned red.

A trace of coldness swept across his eyes, and it was fleeting.

He originally just held Lin Kesong's wrist lightly, but now he slipped down little by little and pinched her fingers.

Lin Kesong raised his head, and Song Yiran shook his head at her, meaning to change positions with her.

You must know that on the other side of Song Yiran is a 60-year-old grandmother who looks very kind.

Lin Ke Song's eyes filled with a deep sense of gratitude for Song Yiran.

It was just the thought of Song Yiran and Jiang Qianfan standing next to each other after changing positions. How could Lin Kesong think it was so harmonious and beautiful

Well, Song Yiran! I've known you for so many years, it's rare for you to stand up for justice! You must have kissed a lot of women, right? Just a change of taste today!

Hopefully there won't be any bloodshed for a while! Good luck!

Just as Lin Kesong was about to turn around, someone firmly grabbed her arm.

She looked over in surprise, it was Jiang Qianfan!

He is obviously chatting with Mrs. Smith!

Lin Kesong tried to move, Jiang Qianfan was so strong that he almost pinned her in place.

She looked at Jiang Qianfan in surprise... Jiang Qianfan wouldn't touch anyone easily.

So he actually knew that she was standing beside him!

So did he choose a position next to Mrs. Smith to find her, or did he just recognize her and Mrs. Smith was just an excuse

The former is more than 80% likely, the latter... Lin Kesong, you are too narcissistic...

Lin Kesong wanted to cry, because she had the feeling that she stole Jiang Qianfan's mobile phone and wanted to hide in the crowd, but was suddenly caught.

Song Yiran turned his face to the side, glanced at Jiang Qianfan, and the expression on his face also cooled.

He raised his hand, went around Lin Kesong's neck, put his arm around her shoulder, and pulled it hard to the other side. But Jiang Qianfan clasped Lin Kesong's arm even harder. His fingers were so strong that even Lin Kesong's bones could feel his strength.

Song Yiran still had a smile on his face, but when Lin Kesong raised his face, the smile made Lin Kesong unfamiliar.

It's neither lazy nor ridiculing, on the contrary... It's like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed, reflecting a sharp edge between the gap.

Song Yiran wanted to pull Lin Kesong to the other side, but Jiang Qianfan pressed Lin Kesong to the same place as steadily as a mountain.

It was like a tug-of-war between two men, neither of them willing to back down and let go.

Lin Kesong's eyes were wrinkled in pain. If this continued, she really doubted that her arm would be crushed by Jiang Qianfan.

"I'll be right here. The game is about to start when you watch it!"

Since none of them would let go, only she, Lin Kesong, would compromise.

Song Yiran looked at Lin Kesong, she couldn't see any other emotions in his eyes, it was deep and dark, two seconds later, he raised his eyebrows, and the sunlight seemed to fall on the corners of his lips again: "Okay, whatever. You. If it hurts, don't cry."

"No. Who will bite me! Haha..."

At this time, Lin Kesong felt that Jiang Qianfan's hand seemed to relax slightly.

What the hell is this guy thinking

Mrs. Smith was asking Jiang Qianfan for some Chinese home cooking recipes, and Jiang Qianfan's answer was very calm, and it was impossible to see that he had exerted so much strength on Lin Kesong. It seems that everything just now was Lin Kesong's imagination.

The game has finally started.

The whole scene was chaotic and tense.

Cries of "Hurry up! Hurry up!" are heard everywhere.

The whole process was much smoother than Lin Kesong imagined. Following the established rhythm, the napkin passed through seven or eight people in a few seconds, but instead fell behind Bruce.

Every time he turned around, the napkin would fall off, going back and forth several times. In Lin Kesong's eyes, it looked like a DVD card, and a certain scene kept replaying.

"Blu, don't breathe when you turn around! Hurry up, hurry up!"

The person who succeeded Bru couldn't wait, and everyone reminded Bru.

After a full delay of four or five seconds, Bruce passed the napkin to the next person.

To get those few seconds back, each person passed the napkin to the next person without thinking.

When the two middle-aged people with big belly bumped into each other, everyone laughed happily.

"Pete, you have to turn your body to one side, or the distance between the two of you will make your necks disjointed, so I'm afraid you won't be able to kiss!"

The two of them finally completed the pass, and the pace continued to pick up after that, and everyone didn't care who their lips touched across the napkin.

Several lipstick lip prints have also been left on the napkin, which looks very charming.

In an instant, the napkin came to Song Yiran's side.

Lin Kesong's heart lifted.

She was about to repeat in her mind how to make the napkin stick to her face so that it wouldn't fall off, when Song Yiran turned around.

He lowered his head and bumped his lips against hers precisely.

The power at that moment made Lin Kesong feel like he was hit.

Even through the tissue, she could still clearly feel his temperature and his touch.

This is the closest contact they have had in ten years.

Lin Ke Song felt Song Yiran take a breath and blow the tissue on her face.

"Inhale." Song Yiran's reminder sounded.

Lin Kesong sucked slightly, and the tissue was stuck to her face.

She couldn't see anything, and she couldn't even think about it. She turned her head, and the tissue just covered her eyes, so she couldn't see Jiang Qianfan. But with Jiang Qianfan's height, Lin Kesong thought he had to stand on tiptoe no matter what.
