The Film Emperor’s Daily Live Cooking Broadcast-Chapter 105 - Too Lazy to Name
Chapter 105 Too Lazy to Name
After the Cutting-edge Chef Competition, the five chefs who entered the top five burst in popularity. Not only did they all enter the Chefs’ Association, but also countless star-rated restaurants extended offers to them. Shi Mingxu’s family was quite well-off. It was said that he was planning to open his own restaurant. He worked quite well with Cao Jun and so they would be starting the business together. Zha Panpan’s family condition was average, but she was very talented. President Gu intended to accept her as an apprentice, and cultivate her talent well. Maybe she will be a very good successor. Chen Yuanwu and Wu Anmin both accepted the invitation from the Rose Restaurant and went to serve as chefs.
This competition motivated culinary enthusiasts to study innovative dishes. They couldn’t wait to find one hundred ways to eat one hundred ingredients. It could be said that it has greatly promoted the development of the food industry, fulfilling the very goal of this competition. At the same time, this program also propelled Ruan Tang’s popularity to new heights. It seemed that he had become synonymous with good cuisine. Everyone thought of him as having both ideas and true skills. He could be considered as the no. 1 person in the Empire’s culinary sphere.
Several major live broadcast platforms also made a lot of money from this competition. It seemed that a second season for the chef’s competition was already ensured for next year.
Overall, this competition ended very satisfactorily.
But no one was happier about this competition ending than Ruan Yu and He Yun Chen. Ruan Tang would no longer need to expend so much energy working on this competition and he can spend time at home with them.
After all, Ruan Yu was just a child. Staying at home by himself was lonely. Although there wouldn’t be any incidents with the smart butler looking after him, it was completely different from the feeling of having someone around. He Yun Chen was the same. Because Ruan Tang had to prepare for the finals, he was quite busy these days. He Yun Chen also had to handle affairs at the military during the day. Thus, the two had little time to spend together.
They had just gotten together as a couple, and it should be a period of love for them. As a result, both people were too busy to see each other. It was enough to make people feel wronged.
With the chef’s contest finally at an end, Ruan Tang no longer needed to go out and he could stay at home to do his live broadcasts. He Yun Chen could finally understood the feelings of yearning.
After finishing work, he drove to Ruan Tang’s door. Ruan Tang had added his biometric information to the family’s security system, so that he could enter the house freely as though he were one of the masters of the house.
As soon as he entered through the door, he could smell something cooking. The familiar figure was bustling about in the kitchen, just like when they first met.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, not to mention that this was a period of love for them. They finally had the opportunity to indulge in their identity as a new couple and be affectionate with each other. Both were a little nervous.
He Yun Chen walked into the kitchen and put his fingers on his shoulder. Making contact with that warmth, he then trailed his fingers downwards, finally holding Ruan Tang from behind. He rested his chin on the other’s shoulder.
“Tang Tang.”
The quiet sigh had turned into his name.
Although the audience often called him this way when he was doing his live broadcasts, hearing He Yun Chen call him that with his low voice in his ears, it made Ruan Tang’s heart race and his face turn red.
“Oh …” He answered indistinctly, and then he heard He Yun Chen ask, “What are you cooking?”
“Xiao Yu wants to eat braised fish and oil fried shrimp. What would you like?”
He Yun Chen smiled and said, “I like everything that you make.”
Ruan Tang couldn’t help but blush. He gently pushed him, muttering, “When did you become such a smooth-talker?”
He Yun Chen raised his hands. “I was being sincere.”
He lay a few soft kisses on Ruan Tang’s cheeks. Ruan Tang’s ears were already completely red. He could only cover his ears, and avoid his arms. He shifted the topic, “Will aunt and uncle be coming back for dinner? Maybe they should come straight here to eat? “
He Yun Chen did not hesitate, “Okay.”
In fact, he had long wanted to introduce Ruan Tang to his parents and elder brother officially as his boyfriend. Although Ruan Tang often went to the He family for dinner and had met his parent a long time ago and even maintained a good relationship with them, back then he was introduced as a friend. It wasn’t a proper ‘meeting the parents’ kind of introduction. He wanted to reintroduce Ruan Tang to his family, using his new identity.
Today was a good opportunity.
He Yun Chen really wanted to spend his entire life with Ruan Tang and so, he couldn’t wait to announce the good news to his family.
He also wanted to ask He Yun Yi to see if he could recommend any places for dating. Anyway, they were now formally a couple. They should go out and date like ordinary couples, have some fun and be immersed in their own world.
He Yun Chen asked, “Where’s Xiao Yu?”
This little child was very lively, and especially sticky. He would be chattering away all day long. It had been a while since he came in and he has yet to hear the little guy. It was unusual to go this long without hearing him.
Ruan Tang said, “He’s in the treatment cabin and Xiao Bai is upstairs with him.”
“That’s perfect then.” He Yun Chen smiled. He turned the heat on the stove to low, then turned the person in his arms to face him. He bowed his head and kissed him on his soft lips.
“Hmm …” Ruan Tang was startled, but soon relaxed into He Yun Chen’s gentle kiss. His arms wrapped around the other’s neck, and the two shared a deep kiss. To He Yun Chen, Ruan Tang was like a soft candy he could never get sick of. He was sweet to his very bones, and it was almost like he wanted to swallow him whole.
The two didn’t know how long they kissed. It wasn’t until they heard footsteps coming from the stairs that they separated.
Ruan Tang blushed and wiped his mouth, then turned to look towards the stairs.
“Brother, I’m here!” Ruan Yu rushed into the kitchen like a small cannonball and plunged into Ruan Tang’s arms, and then with eyes gleaming, he looked at He Yun Chen. “Brother He, you’re here too?”
He Yun Chen said, “Yes, hello.”
Ruan Tang quickly picked up the little guy and kissed him on his soft cheeks filled with baby fat. “Are you hungry? Dinner’s almost done. We can eat soon.”
“En!” The little guy nodded energetically. He lay his head onto his shoulder, two big watery eyes looked at his brother’s face. With slightly pouting lips, he asked doubtfully, “Brother, why is your mouth so red?”
“Ahem!” Ruan Tang was taken aback by the little guy. He almost choked on his own spit. He had to answer vaguely. “Ah, brother just had a taste of the dishes and ate something spicy.”
“Oh-” Ruan Yu stretched his words. “Brother, snuck a taste! Shame on you!”
“You little scoundrel, are you selling out your own brother?” Ruan Tang feigned anger and started to tickle Ruan Tang.
The little boy laughed until he was out of breath and wriggled in Ruan Tang’s arms like a big fat silkworm baby.
“I’ll take him out to play so you can continue cooking.” He Yun Chen took the little kid and went with him to the living room to play.
After receiving the message from He Yun Chen, He Wei Ye and Ran Jing, as well as He Yun Yi, all went directly to Ruan Tang’s home after work.
Because there were a lot of people eating that night, Ruan Tang specially made some extra dishes. In addition to Ruan Yu’s braised fish and fried shrimp, Ruan Tang also made He Yun Chen’s favorite shui zhu beef, red braised pork which He Yun Yi loved and scallion chicken for Ran Jing who liked lighter dishes. He Wei Ye was fond of seafood, so Ruan Tang also made spicy crabs, and finally, he added a vegetable soup, accompanied by a pot of fragrant rice, it was truly a feast.
Ruan Tang’s culinary skills were naturally excellent. Everyone ate very well, and they almost finished off all of the dishes.
After eating and drinking their fill, no one wanted to move, so they all sat around the living room to rest. He Yun Yi was the most relaxed and he immediately lay himself flat on a sofa.
He Yun Chen and Ruan Tang sat side by side on the sofa with their palms close together. The two looked at each other, He Yun Chen grabbed his hand and raised it, solemnly saying to the three, “Mom, Dad, Ge, Ruan Tang and I are dating”
He knew his family would be surprised by his sudden announcement of their relationship, so he deliberately waited until after dinner to tell them, hoping to give them some time to adjust.
Ruan Tang was sitting beside He Yun Chen. Their hands were clasped tightly together. They were obviously very nervous.
What they didn’t expect was that the three responded very calmly, only exclaiming with a faint “Oh”. He Yun Yi decided to give them some face. He snapped his fingers and said, “Congratulations.”
The two looked at each other again, He Yun Chen said, “Are you … not surprised at all?”
After he asked these words, the three looked a little surprised. He Yun Yi said quietly, “Did you think you were hiding it well?”
He Yun Chen: “…”
“You pay so much attention to Tang Tang. Whenever something happens, you have to be on the ground seeing to things yourself. And you still come over here all the time to freeload off him. Which of your friends have you ever been so close to? Oh, no, you have no friends.” He Yun Yi concluded, “Anyway, ordinary male friends aren’t so sticky. Everyone in our family has already known a long time ago that you had your sights set on Ruan Tang.”
“We didn’t expect though that the two of you would be so dense.” He shook his head and snorted.
He Yun Chen and Ruan Tang: “…”
“You stinky boy, you better treat Tang Tang well. If you dare to bully him, just see if I won’t beat you to death!” Ran Jing also threatened her son fiercely, and then turned to Ruan Tang and said genially, “Tang Tang, just think of me as your own mother. If A’Chen dares to bully you, you come and tell your mother. We won’t stand for it. ”
He Yun Chen: “…”
Just which one of us is your actual son? ? ?
He Wei Ye was even more direct, “Both of you are all grown now. You’re no longer children, you should already prepare for your wedding next year.”
He Yun Chen and Ruan Tang were once again speechless. They had just gotten together; wasn’t it too soon to be discussing marriage?
Anyway, they had achieved their purpose.
The two of them sent away the three with 囧囧 incredulous faces. He Yun Chen was going to go back with them, but was pressed back by He Yun Yi. “Didn’t you two just managed to meet up again today? You should sleep here tonight.”
“This …” He Yun Chen was a little embarrassed. Cohabiting as soon as their relationship has been established? Wasn’t it a bit too fast?
He Yun Yi silently looked at the stupid look on his brother’s face. He was like an old man harboring thoughts of spring. He couldn’t help uttering a ‘tsk’ and rubbing his cold arms. He said quietly, “This isn’t your first time living together.”
This was also true.
He Yun Chen was silently accepted the situation. While Ruan Tang and Ruan Yu went upstairs to take a bath, he whispered to his brother, “Ge, do you have any recommendations where I can take Ruan Tang on a date?”
He Yun Yi’s EQ was much higher than his. As the dean of the Academy of Sciences with his handsome looks and outspoken personality, he was loved by countless people. If he were not such a workaholic, he would have become the empire’s most well-known prodigal son. Ever since he began attending school, the people who came to pursue him came in an endless stream. After an initial show of reluctance, he would consent to dating only to have it lead to nothing. He was merely leading them along and none of his relationship progressed anywhere. Once he entered the Academy, he threw himself into his work. Despite this, he had more experience about dating and emotions than his wooden younger brother.
He Yun Yi said, “What? You want to take him out for a date?”
He Yun Chen nodded.
“Do you want to go out for only a few hours or do you want to go out in a world for two?”
“Well, a world for two …” But He Yun Chen added, “but it’s best if it’s somewhere he can cook so that he won’t need to suspend his live broadcast.
After all, the gourmet live broadcast was Ruan Tang’s job. If the broadcast had to stop for a long time, neither Ruan Tang nor his fans should accept it.
He Yun Yi thought for a moment, then laughed a little bit wickedly.
“It just so happens that I really do have a good place to recommend to you—I believe Tang Tang will love it.”
