CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40 COOKING FUNCTION

Qin Jiran’s feelings were complicated, and so were Su Yanyi’s. As the night deepened, neither of them showed any intention of sleeping; nor did they seem to want to speak. They just lay there with closed eyes, each lost in their own thoughts, while also thinking about the other person beside them.

Neither of them had the experience of sharing a bed with someone else, and they both thought they would be unable to sleep. However, as they lay thinking, they fell asleep almost simultaneously, without an agreement to do so.

But in the middle of the night, Qin Jiran woke up somewhat helplessly. Without knowing when, someone had sprawled on top of him—it was the woman he had been thinking about. How could he sleep like this!

Qin Jiran didn’t dare to move, swallowed silently, and stiffly let Su Yanyi treat him as a pillow, pressing down on him.

But even without moving, it didn’t mean he couldn’t feel anything! That soft sensation, that indescribable delight, truly made it impossible for Qin Jiran to continue enduring!

Endure as he might, there comes a limit to endurance, and even if he couldn’t bear it any longer, Qin Jiran still had to endure. He told himself to bear it, just bear it a little longer, and it would pass.

At dawn, perhaps because they had both slept deeply through the night, Su Yanyi was the first to wake up. Before even opening her eyes, she felt an abnormal heat source around her. Not only was the temperature unusual, but the texture was also very odd.

After pinching and kneading, Su Yanyi’s intelligence returned. She attempted to sit up from the "bed," only to realize that she seemed to be pressing on something that didn’t feel quite like a bed. At that moment, the man whose chest she was pressing on woke up with a start. He looked up to see Su Yanyi’s annoyed expression, and as Su Yanyi saw Qin Jiran awake, she too was momentarily stunned. And so they looked at each other, forgetting the actions they should have taken.

"Morning, let’s get up," Su Yanyi, who had recovered first, said. The annoyance that had been on her face vanished, returning to her usual indifferent and cool demeanor. But upon closer inspection, a hint of irritation still lingered in her eyes.

With apparent composure, Su Yanyi moved her hand from its resting place, propped herself up, and got out of bed. She hurried off to the bathroom, her back giving off a vibe of a hasty retreat.

"Morning," Qin Jiran’s voice was low. By the time he spoke, he could only see Su Yanyi’s retreating figure.

The urgency of that figure seemed to convey Su Yanyi’s embarrassment and annoyance to Qin Jiran. He couldn’t help but find her somewhat cute, his lips curving into a handsome smile.

Luckily, Su Yanyi’s system no longer gave such prompts, or else know she was being laughed at again would have certainly made her angry and embarrassed.

After coming out of the bathroom and getting dressed, Su Yanyi started to organize her things. Finally, gazing at the exquisite little handgun, she suddenly thought of the System’s storage function, a feature she had never used before.

As Su Yanyi contemplated, the handgun in her hand disappeared in an instant, and then the system’s interface materialized in front of her, adding the exquisite little handgun to the storage space.

Su Yanyi found it quite interesting. With another thought, the handgun reappeared in her hand, just as Qin Jiran came out of the bathroom and saw her holding the gun.

Raising an eyebrow, Qin Jiran didn’t ask any questions. He always knew the Su family was not simple. Although Su Yanyi had not discussed the Su family situation with him, the Su family members did not conceal it from him. A word here and there allowed him to sense the differences of the Su family, only not in much detail.

The presence of the handgun was clearly not too unusual; he just didn’t know why Su Yanyi suddenly had a gun and what she intended to do with it.

Qin Jiran’s mind raced, and he couldn’t help but think of the Wang Family. His eyes hardened somewhat—he felt that it was time for him to do something as well. He couldn’t always rely on Su Yanyi to protect him.

In the following days, Qin Jiran continued to be busy with the film crew, while Su Yanyi found time to start learning how to make coffee, preparing for her upgrade from Level One to Level Two.

Standing in the kitchen, Su Yanyi began looking for coffee beans, but once she found them, she was a bit troubled because she didn’t know how to make coffee!

Thinking it over, Su Yanyi decided to ask Sister Wang for help, but just at that moment, Zero Zero One’s voice rang out.

"Master, the Cooking Function of the system contains a Junior coffee-making tutorial. It’s quick to learn, simple to understand, and the coffee it makes tastes amazingly delicious. Why not give it a try? The Cooking Function and the Medical Function of the system are both very practical. Really, it’s awesome!" Zero Zero One nodded its small head, looking hopeful for Su Yanyi’s agreement.

It was only then that Su Yanyi remembered the system also had a cooking feature. She had never thought about cooking, so she hadn’t paid attention to this function, but now it seemed like a good time to give it a try.

"Activate the System Cooking Function tutorial."

Su Yanyi activated the system’s Cooking Function, and a virtual interface appeared in front of her, displaying a long list featuring dishes from various countries, categories including different national cuisines, and separate sections for desserts, pastries, drinks, and alcoholic beverages—it was practically a food and drink encyclopedia that made Su Yanyi’s head spin.

"Master, this is the index. If you want to make coffee, you can directly select the Coffee category. It’s very convenient!" Zero Zero One’s small voice chimed in just in time.

Su Yanyi immediately selected the coffee category, which brought up another extensive list of coffee types, with options like Blue Mountain, latte, cappuccino, Vienna, and many more.

However, this time Su Yanyi directly chose Blue Mountain, as its aroma is lighter but the flavor is very rich and exquisite, which she liked. She had also seen Qin Jiran drink it a few times, so he must like it as well.

The system’s function was powerful, not only providing a detailed explanation of the coffee-making process but also featuring reminder alerts. From the quality of the coffee to the temperature of the water, from the quantity added to the brewing time, anytime something didn’t follow the program, the system would remind Su Yanyi. Even so, it took her several tries before she managed to make a pot of coffee that could truly be considered qualified.

Yet, it must be said that the coffee made following the system’s method tasted really quite exceptional.

But soon, Su Yanyi was struck by a question and asked the system with great vigilance, "Zero Zero One, future tasks won’t involve cooking, will they?"

She always felt the system’s functions weren’t provided for free. If Level One to Level Two required making coffee, it wouldn’t be far-fetched for Level Two to Level Three to require cooking meals!

"Master, I can’t reveal future system tasks in advance."

"Then what can you do? Just act cute?"

"Master, are you despising me? I am still very useful!" Zero Zero One displayed a very aggrieved look in its small eyes.

"Then what use are you?" Su Yanyi asked skeptically, feeling that the system itself was more useful. This Zero Zero One, apart from acting cute, was just acting cute!

"I can help Master you pursue the male master!"
