How about instant noodles?
His youngest son had received guidance from a great benefactor, and his business had grown considerably, but Guan Xuemin's only regret was that there was no one in the family who studied medicine! His granddaughter's weak personality meant that she could only be a nurse, and she wasn't cut out to study medicine either.
That was why Guan Xuemin had always wanted to find someone to pass on his legacy to, or he wouldn't have been so surprised to see Lin Yi at the bookstore and wanted to take Lin Yi as his last disciple.
But that thought was gone now. His medical skills weren't even a third of Lin Yi's, so what was the point of passing on his legacy? It wasn't even certain who would be whose teacher.
But no matter what, Guan Xuemin had something to look forward to.
"Ding …" The doorbell rang. Lin Yi parked the car in front of Guan Xuemin's villa and pressed the doorbell.
Guan Xuemin was overjoyed at the ring- he quickly stood up and waved at Auntie Liu, who was about to open the door- he'd open the door himself! Guan Xuemin didn't dare put on any airs when it came to Lin Yi. There was no such thing as learning, and Lin Yi was better than him!
"Lin Yi, you're here!" Guan Xuemin said happily when he opened the door and saw Lin Yi.
"Ah, nice to meet you, Grandpa Guan. I came right after school and didn't bring any gifts, so please don't mind me." Lin Yi smiled as he spread his empty hands. Other people brought gifts when they came to Guan Xuemin's house, but Lin Yi came empty-handed.
"What gifts?!" Guan Xuemin was amused by Lin Yi's words. "I'm happy that you're here. It wasn't easy for me to be so thick-skinned as to call you and invite you over for a drink or two. If you keep being so polite, I won't call you again no matter how thick-skinned I am!"
"Ah … alright, then I'll come over when I'm free!" Lin Yi said with a smile.
"That's more like it!" Guan Xuemin nodded matter-of-factly.
Guan Xin was walking out of the kitchen with a plate of Sweet and Sour Mustard Fish in her hands when she heard someone boasting that he could come over for free food. She wasn't happy at all! Who are you? You're here to freeload? Did he really not treat himself as an outsider?
Alright, since you came to eat, I'll let you eat your fill. Let's see if you dare to come again next time! Tonight's sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and numbing feast will definitely be fresh in your memory!
However, the voice sounded familiar. Had it been to his house before? Guan Xin frowned, but didn't pay much attention to it. She was just about to put the fish on the table when she looked up and froze, almost dropping the fish on the floor!
"Lin … Lin Yi?" Guan Xin's eyes widened in disbelief. Why was he the one who wanted to freeload all the time in the future?
"Guan Xin?" Lin Yi was startled. What was Guan Xin doing here? He suddenly remembered what Guan Xuemin had said about his granddaughter. Could Guan Xin be his granddaughter? Both of them had the same surname. "You're Grandpa Guan's granddaughter?"
"You're the handsome young man grandpa was talking about?" Guan Xin blushed. Why was he the handsome young man grandpa was talking about? Didn't he already have a girlfriend? Why was grandpa introducing him to her?
Guan Xin didn't know what to do. She wanted to hide her feelings for Lin Yi from the bottom of her heart, but she lowered her head shyly.
"Handsome young man?" Lin Yi paused at the title, and smiled bitterly, "I'm not considered a young genius, but I'm young and promising, I can barely call myself that!"
"Bragging …" Guan Xin couldn't help but smile. What kind of person was this immodest? Wasn't handsome young and promising about the same? Grandma Wang was praising herself for selling her melons.
"Yi, you know Xin Xin?" Guan Xuemin was afraid that his granddaughter would be conflicted, but he understood after seeing her expression. It seemed like the two knew each other a long time ago, so he was worrying needlessly!
"Yes, we just met today." Lin Yi nodded.
"Oh? Just met today? Looks like we're very close! " Guan Xuemin listened to Lin Yi's words. "That saves me the trouble of introducing myself. Since you know Xin Xin, it's even easier. Let's skip the introductions and eat! I've been starving for a long time! I eat early every day, and I waited until now just to wait for you! "
"Ah … Alright! I won't hold back then! " Lin Yi smiled as he turned to Guan Xin. "What a coincidence, I was supposed to try out your cooking today … …"
"Ah!" Guan Xin jumped and ran towards the kitchen with the mustard fish in her hands. She never would've thought that the handsome young man grandpa was talking about was Lin Yi. She wouldn't have made these weird dishes if she'd known earlier. She would've prepared with all her heart and skills if she'd known earlier …
Guan Xin regretted it a little. If Lin Yi ate the 'feast' she prepared, he'd probably never come again. What should she do? Guan Xin wanted to throw away all the dishes on the table and make a new one …
"Xin Xin, where are you going? Why are you taking the fish away? Grandpa loves sweet and sour fish the most. Bring it back, grandpa can't wait! "Guan Xuemin waved his hand at Guan Xin.
"I … I'm going back to the pot … Hm, the dishes are cold, I'm going back to the pot …" Guan Xin said as she tried to grab the other dishes from the table. She could just throw them away and make a new one. There were still some ingredients left, so she could make as much as she could …
"Back to the pot? Back to what pot? It's not cold, it's steaming! Stop messing around and put it down! "Guan Xuemin was confused by Guan Xin's actions. What was she doing?
"Ah … Oh …" Guan Xin didn't have a choice. She reluctantly put down the dishes and the sweet and sour fish.
"Alright, Xin Xin, you sit down too. Let's eat together!" Guan Xuemin couldn't wait to open a bottle of Maotai and pour a cup for Lin Yi before pouring one for himself.
"Uh … Alright." Guan Xin was reluctant.
Guan Xin was reluctant, but there was nothing she could do. She sat down with a sad face.
"Ah … I've heard from grandpa Guan that you're a great cook. The dishes on the table are delicious. Let me try them." Lin Yi smiled as he picked up his chopsticks.
"Ah … Uh … Grandpa, I have an idea. Why don't we eat instant noodles? Drinking wine and eating instant noodles is delicious, right? What do you think? " Guan Xin suddenly stood up. "I haven't had instant noodles in a long time. Why don't we throw away all the dishes?"
