The next day Yena cheerfully ran to the study and called Ethan Zhao.
Like last time, Ethan Zhao was reading a foreign book.
Yena moved closer, "Reading another French book?"
Ethan Zhao shut the book, "It's Chinese."
Yena was shamed into anger, "Hmp…So how many languages do you speak Mr. Smarty Pants?"
Ethan Zhao: "Spanish, Chinese, English, French, Janpanese , and a few phrases in Korean."
Yena: "…."
But one can lose a little yet still be in the running. Thus, Yena thought for a bit, curled her lip, and said, "Is knowing six languages that amazing? I actually know all languages!" Yena tried to boast.
Ethan Zhao looked at her in surprise and raised an eyebrow.
"I mean I know there a lot of languages but I don't speak them". Yena could only swallow her words. 'Hmph! If Chuchu was here, you'll kneel down and bow to me right now'
Ethan Zhao: "..."
On the way from the study to the dining room, Ethan Zhao suddenly asked, "Can you speak both Tianjin and Dongbei dialects?"
"Well yes of course. That so basic" Yena instantly broke out in a cold sweat. 'Oh shit! This time I've spilled the beans! She vaguely remembered that the original owner seemed to be a girl from Jiangnan. Was he testing her?
Thoughts spun quickly in her mind. Yena brazenly retorted, "What? It's strange? For your info everyone in the country knows Tianjin and Dongbei dialects, alright?"
"Hmm.. Really?"
Seeing that Ethan was not convinced Yena immediately started to copy some famous people talking with dialects. Thus the long time role play started till Yena was out of breath. ' Huhuhu. This stupid mouth of mine. I'm digging my own grave. Ayah! I should just keep silent all the time.'
Ethan Zhao: "... "
Yena looked up and asked him, "How was it?"
"…You're really talented." Ethan replied her with an amused faint smile. ' This girl something is strange about her'
Yena was super feeling embarrassed but she immediately relaxed, "I'm hungry! Let's eat!"
...…
Ethan Zhao was dumbstruck again after seeing the food on the dining table.
Chiken, beef with green peppers, tofu with crab roe, winter melon and meatball soup. Even if these three dishes and soup were just simple home cooking, the color and fragrance were completely alluring and incited hunger.
Ethan Zhao was surprised, "You made all this?"
"With all of my heart and soul" Yena said proudly, "How is it?"
Ethan Zhao answered matter-of-factly, "Looks good."
Yena hurriedly handed him the chopsticks and excitedly ladled some soup for him. "Hurry and try it!"
Ethan Zhao tasted a little of everything. When he looked up, he locked eyes with a pair of eagerly expectant, sparkling eyes. He smiled faintly and said, "It also tastes great."
Yena was very pleased. She beamed as she sat down and thought: Chuchu I can survive! Somehow I will. I'll wait for a miracle. Right now I'll try my best.
As it turned out, Yena's mother was a good cook. Yena somehow absorbed the family tradition. From a young age, she learned how to cook. After graduation and starting work, she lived away from home and and worked to pay for her rent and all her need. She had a normal life. She was satisfied with her life. Not until she meet that person. Her life suddenly turned to a nightmare. She fell in love with someone out of her reach. Yena met Leo the man who looked like the same as Ethan.
Memories were forming inside her mind so she shook it all off and pretended to carelessly ask,
"How was my cooking before?"
Ethan Zhao: "Your cooking was good before." He paused, "But now it's better."
Yena revealed a smile. Inside, she was bursting with joy. She was happy for she still have that talent in cooking.
Then, she trembled in fear. ' This person has amnesia, yet her cooking has improved. It doesn't really make sense! I've got to find an excuse so this makes sense! Why am I so stupid? Oh God Why?'
Yena quickly found an excuse, "Hehe. It's because I didn't like you that much before. Because of that, my cooking wasn't as good!"
Yena's real thought: 'You remind me of someone I loath. How could I cook for you? Yesterday, you only got instant noodles, but today however, I realize you and that person are different. Because of that, I find you more tolerable! I'll give you a chance. I should not let my past affect me.'
Ethan Zhao stared blankly then slowly said, " So you mean… that now… you like me?"
Yena had just spooned a mouthful of rice into her mouth. When she heard what was said, she sprayed it all out with a "puu" sound.
Ethan Zhao whose rice bowl and face were soaked with the spray: "..."
'Chuchu… I think I'm Doomed'
