Chapter 656: Her Favorite
Just as she pushed open the balcony door, the cold wind from outside forced her back.She couldn’t help but shiver, tightened her clothes, and retreated again.
Turning around, she suddenly collided with a human wall right in front of her. Looking up, it was President Shi Mai’er.
Startled, she quickly apologized, "Pres... President? Sorry, sorry, I didn’t see you. I accidentally bumped into you. I hope you’re not..."
"I’m fine." President Shi Mai’er shook his head with a smile, "But you, Mrs. Lu, seemed to be quite startled?"
"Just a little."
Thankfully, it was just a scare.
Song Yinyin playfully stuck out her little red tongue.
"Mrs. Lu, why are you standing here alone? Where’s Mr. Lu?" President Shi Mai’er maintained his smile.
"He’s over there, socializing with people."
Song Yinyin pointed to Lu Jihan, who was surrounded by a crowd, and pouted, "I don’t really like socializing with too many people, so I’m taking a breather here."
As soon as she finished speaking, a sudden sound came from her stomach, "Gurgle—"
She was dumbfounded.
Oh dear, why is my stomach making such a... such an untimely sound now?!
Instinctively, she covered her abdomen, but it was too late because clearly, President Shi Mai’er had also heard the embarrassing sound from her stomach.
"Mrs. Lu, would you like to go to the buffet area and have something to eat? I’m hungry too, and I heard most of the dishes are unique to the Imperial City. Would you accompany me there, be my guide, and introduce the Imperial City’s delicacies?"
President Shi Mai’er was so considerate and down-to-earth, offering her an excuse.
She immediately nodded, "Of course, Mr. President, this way please."
Song Yinyin quickly walked ahead, accompanying President Shi Mai’er to the buffet area.
On the table were various Imperial City delicacies, as well as many Western dishes, like Italian pasta, sashimi, and so on.
Since President Shi Mai’er expressed interest in learning about Imperial City’s delicacies, Song Yinyin began introducing them enthusiastically.
"This is crystal pig’s knuckle, chilled crayfish, this is roast duck, and oh yes, this one here is the most famous Imperial City delicacy, longan sticky rice cake. It’s made with tender, fragrant sticky rice, filled with longan and sweet dates, and wrapped in layers of sesame, both fragrant and soft, with the right sweetness. You should try it; I’m sure you’ll love it..."
When it comes to food, once Song Yinyin starts talking, she couldn’t stop.
She even thought to herself that if she couldn’t play the piano and found herself out of work, she could probably start a food live stream show and do quite well.
Seeing President Shi Mai’er staring at the longan sticky rice cake, seemingly lost in thought and not moving his chopsticks, Song Yinyin mistakenly thought he was hesitant to eat it, so she proactively picked a piece and placed it on President Shi Mai’er’s plate.
President Shi Mai’er smiled, picked it up with chopsticks, and took a bite.
"Hmm, it does taste quite good."
"Of course!"
Song Yinyin slightly raised her brows, proudly said, "This longan sticky rice cake is also my favorite because it’s my mother’s specialty dish. It’s just a pity—"
Thinking of her deceased mother, Song Yinyin’s throat choked up, and tears started welling up in her eyes.
Noticing her sudden change in expression, President Shi Mai’er asked, "It’s just a pity what?"
