Huayu Chef

050 Nazha's terrifying little secret

Outside the Starry Night Restaurant.

Zhang Jinxuan, Huang Mengying, Zhuangzhuangchong, Master Wang, Aunt Sun, Xiaodangjia, and Brother Leziren, who was holding a rice bowl, waved goodbye and returned the way they came.

Zhuangzhuang said with a hint of regret, "The restaurant in Little Chef's can make 1008 dishes. I'd like to try a few unrelated ones."

Zhang Jinxuan was speechless: "Have some decency."

Huang Mengying lowered her head and smiled, then said to Zhuangzhuang, "Their food is too salty, too salty, I can't eat it. I was just worried that Brother Xuan would agree to stay for dinner with Little Master."

Is it salty?

"Isn't it salty?"

Zhuangzhuang scratched his head and said, "I was so busy fighting with my older brother for the Lao Bao San that Brother Xuan made. I only ate one piece of meat from the one Xiao Dang Jia made. It was alright."

"So you can eat salty food?"

Zhang Jinxuan smiled and teased, "Zhuangzhuang, you didn't see it just now, Mengying almost cried while eating pork kidneys, but she managed to force a smile with her amazing facial expression control."

Huang Mengying said, embarrassed and annoyed, "You saw it?"

"In a competition, you naturally need to be aware of everything around you."

"You saw this and didn't even help me out; you're so heartless."

"I am heartless, I am unreasonable, so what?"

Zhuangzhuang blurted out, "You two are both actors, why don't you perform a scene from 'Princess Pearl' on the spot to earn some travel expenses?"

"What 'Princess Pearl'? Its real name is 'The Wild Princess Looking for Her Father'..."

Haha~~

Huang Mengying and Zhuangzhuang burst into laughter. The former, who has a low threshold for laughter, laughed so hard she almost collapsed. If they hadn't been walking on the street, she probably would have squatted down and drawn cat faces on her face.

"Brother Xuan, you're such a smooth talker! The wild princess is looking for her father, and the son is gone forever. I'm completely impressed." Zhuangzhuang said with heartfelt admiration.

"Just listen to this, don't go around spreading it. If Auntie causes me trouble, I'm too weak to handle it."

"clear."

"Mengying, haven't you laughed enough yet?"

Huang Mengying rolled her eyes at Zhang Jinxuan, sniffed, took out a small mirror from the handbag Zhang Jinxuan was carrying, looked at herself, and said thankfully, "Thank goodness, my makeup didn't smudge."

"Want to spend money? That's easy..."

"Stop teasing me, Xiao Zhuang, you too."

Zhuangzhuang said, "I'm not as humorous as Brother Xuan."

"Xiao Zhuang, you don't understand yourself at all."

"I understand. Hey, Brother Xuan, why are you calling me Xiao Zhuang too? Please, my nickname is Zhuang Zhuang. What's with calling me Xiao Zhuang again?"

"Russian nesting doll, that's its nickname."

Huang Mengying chuckled and teased, "From now on, Xiao Zhuang will be on par with Brother Xiao Ming in the entertainment industry."

"Mengying, you're really something else." Zhang Jinxuan and Zhuangzhuang both gave a thumbs up.

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter. Huang Mengying laughed along with them, creating a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

After the joke, Huang Mengying suddenly asked, "Brother Xuan, I understand that you were being nice to Xiao Dangjia in the shop, but weren't you praising him a bit too much?"

"Do you doubt his cooking skills?"

"That's only one aspect. On the other hand, Xiao Dangjia is still a student. He should become popular after the third episode of 'Wild Kitchen' airs. Sudden fame may not be a good thing."

Zhang Jinxuan glanced at her in surprise, then said calmly, "Little Master's basic culinary skills are very solid. He has no problem making the dishes at Xingyuan Restaurant. He has real talent. Besides, this is his own choice to become a content creator on Bilibili. Maybe it's just to become famous. His parents support him, so we outsiders shouldn't interfere. It's only right that we give him a push today out of gratitude."

"Mm," Huang Mengying agreed.

"Brother Xuan, where do we go next?"

Zhang Jinxuan took out his phone to check the time and said, "The high-speed train leaves at 8:03 PM. We still have a few hours. Let's go to the Five Great Avenues area again, find a good place to eat, buy some souvenirs, and then head back to Beijing."

"I think it's a good idea."

"Hey buddy, lead the way."

"Tsk, she's becoming more and more like a goddess."

At 8:38 p.m., the high-speed train that departed from Tianjin Station arrived at Beijing Station.

After a long day of fun, Zhang Jinxuan and his two friends wanted to go back and rest. They walked out of Beijing Railway Station, hailed a taxi on the roadside, and headed straight for the Beijing Film Academy.

Near the west gate of Beijing Film Academy, Huang Mengying and Zhuangzhuang got off the bus carrying handbags.

"Brother Xuan, let's go back to school."

Get some rest.

"Brother Xuan, wake me up tomorrow morning, let's go take some photos together."

"Come to the shop tomorrow morning, we'll make pork crackling buns."

Huang Mengying's eyes lit up, and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Mhm."

Zhuangzhuang asked in surprise, "Isn't this greasy to eat so early in the morning?"

"It's all about the greasiness."

"Okay, I guess I'm out of luck with this food; I can't get up."

"Beautiful women have always been destined for tragedy and misfortune..."

"Get lost, let's go."

Huang Mengying giggled and waved to Zhang Jinxuan, "Brother Xuan, bye-bye."

"Bye-bye." Zhang Jinxuan waved to them, rolled up the car window, and instructed, "Driver, go to the west gate of the Beijing Film Academy residential area."

Wild Kitchen was about to close for the day when Zhang Jinxuan received WeChat messages from Yu Jingmin and Tang Qiwen reporting on the day's business and indicating their intention to delegate authority. So, he didn't go to the store and went straight back to his residence.

Zhang Jinxuan unlocked the door and saw Nazha sitting on the V-shaped sofa watching TV. He called out, "Nazha, I'm back. I bought you some delicious food. Come and get it."

After putting down his handbag and backpack, Nazha remained seated on the sofa without reacting, which seemed illogical to Zhang Jinxuan, so he quickly walked over.

Naza was sitting on the sofa in a reclining position, her head resting on the back of the sofa, her eyes half-open, not watching TV at all, which looked a bit scary.

"Nazha!"

"Nazha!"

Zhang Jinxuan called out twice, but Nazha remained motionless. He started to panic, unsure of the situation. He cautiously bent down to observe and could vaguely hear even breathing.

It's gassy.

Oh my god, I was terrified.

Zhang Jinxuan took a breath, calmed his wildly beating heart, and held Nazha's hand.

It has temperature.

There is a pulse.

Conclusion: She fell asleep, sleeping with her eyes open.

Zhang Jinxuan was both amused and exasperated. This night was too exciting. He had just thought something had happened to Nazha, but she was sleeping with her eyes open. He never thought he would see this again.

It would be a shame not to take a picture to commemorate the fright Zhang Jinxuan suffered.

"Click-clack..."

After taking the photos, Zhang Jinxuan took off his coat and covered her with it, then casually turned off the TV.

Naza, who was fast asleep, suddenly woke up with a start. She blinked and said in a sleepy, sweet voice, "Senior brother, you're back!"

Zhang Jinxuan sat down next to her and asked with concern, "Why are you asleep in the living room? Are you not feeling well?"

"I'm not feeling unwell, I just got sleepy watching TV. Ah, after a nap, the energetic Mina is back!" Naza stretched, grinned, and hugged Zhang Jinxuan, asking sweetly, "Senior brother, did the filming go smoothly today?"

Zhang Jinxuan touched her pretty face, still shaken, and said, "The filming went quite smoothly, but you almost scared me to death."

Naza asked, bewildered, "How did I scare you?"

"You were sleeping with your eyes open, and when I called you you you didn't respond. It almost gave me a heart attack."

Naza's right lip curled up slightly, a hint of surprise and suspicion mixed with her seductive charm. "You're lying to me, aren't you? I never sleep with my eyes open, never."

"I took pictures, I'll show them to you."

When Naza saw the photo, she giggled and said, "It's really quite scary! Oh my god, I can't believe I slept with my eyes open. I didn't even know it myself. Senior, send me the photo, I'll show it to my mom, my sister, and my dad."

Silly boy, still laughing.

Zhang Jinxuan asked with concern, "Is anything bothering you?"

"No, I feel great right now." Naza felt uneasy under Zhang Jinxuan's question and asked nervously, "Senior brother, am I sick? Is it a terminal illness?"

"Don't scare yourself unnecessarily. Sleeping with your eyes open isn't too uncommon, but you shouldn't take it lightly. Put on a coat, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."
