"Jueyun Jiaojiao? Then what are you doing in front of Xiaomijiao?"

Bai Qiyun showed a strange expression, and that subtle gaze made Xiang Ling feel a little embarrassed.

"Small... millet pepper?"

As if she didn't expect that the chili peppers she had been distinguishing for a long time were not what she needed, Xiang Ling grabbed a handful of chili peppers and put it into her mouth.

"Hey! Don't..."

Seeing the girl's reckless movements, Bai Qiyun stretched out his hand to stop her, but her movements were frighteningly fast.

In an instant, a small handful of chili peppers filled the girl's mouth.

Xiangling was not afraid at all and chewed a few mouthfuls before swallowing it.

"Hmm... Look, it's nothing—"

The girl stood in front of Bai Qiyun, holding her waist with her hands, looking very proud.

But before she could be proud for too long, a feeling that something was wrong came to her.

Spicy and painful.

A wave of heat rushed from his throat into the sky.

The girl's face was as bright as if it had been smeared with a thick layer of tomato juice.

"Uhhhhh!!"

Like a puppy, Xiangling stuck out her pink tongue, hoping that this would alleviate the pain from being burned.

Big drops of tears fell from the corners of his eyes like broken beads, and it looked like he was really crying.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but sigh.

This guy really should go to Bubulu and have his brain checked.

Then he took the cup at hand and walked to the bucket to get a glass of water.

"Here."

The shimmering water rippled quietly in the cup, which was unremarkable, but to Xiang Ling at this time, this thing was a life-saving elixir.

Taking the water cup, Xiang Ling directly placed the cup on her small mouth.

"Dun, dun, dun~"

After a while, the glass of water was completely wiped out by the girl.

But her face didn't change at all, it was still frighteningly red.

After going back and forth like this, Bai Qiyun got several glasses of water for this guy before he calmed down a little.

"Uh-huh..."

Even though the spicy taste on her tongue had subsided a bit, Xiang Ling still didn't dare to take her tongue back into her mouth, for fear that doing so would stir up the chili pepper hidden on the tip of her tongue.

"Spicy millet...hiss...is it so spicy?"

Apart from anything else, eating spicy food is common in her family. Although she doesn't recognize chili peppers like millet spicy, she must have eaten a lot. How could it be so heart-wrenching?

Xiangling opened her mouth wide, breathing heavily while fanning her mouth with her hands, and kept sobbing.

"Ordinary millet spicy is definitely not as spicy, but this is my improved and enhanced version."

In order to make Xiang Ling feel better, Bai Qiyun moved all the chili peppers on the table aside.

"Enhanced Edition?"

"Well, how to use millet spicy to achieve the spiciness of Jueyun pepper. This is the topic of my current research."

He pointed at the chili that had just been removed, and Xiangling's eyelids jumped as he looked at it.

"But it seems like it's a little over-concentrated."

Looking at Xiao Xiangling's miserable condition, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but shook his head.

Even if the real Jueyun Chili Pepper was grabbed and eaten like this, there would be no such big reaction in the stomach. It seems to be a failure.

"Failed? Making such spicy chili is considered a failure?"

Seeing the young man's slightly depressed expression, Xiang Ling felt a sense of disbelief.

She has been tortured to this point, but she is still considered a failure?

"The hotter the pepper, the better. There are many factors that determine the quality of the pepper, such as aroma, spiciness, storage time, etc."

Seeing that the girl's face was turning red again, Bai Qiyun stood up again, took a glass of water, and handed it over.

"Ah, thank you."

This time, Xiangling learned the lesson and no longer drank like before. Instead, she soaked her tongue in cold water to relieve the symptoms.

"Originally, my project was to achieve the spiciness of Jueyun pepper. If it exceeds this much, it is considered a failure. I will adjust it next time."

Having said this, Bai Qiyun looked at the girl in front of him who looked like a scalded kitten.

This guy could be considered as his experimental subject by accident, so he had to show some gratitude.

Although this experimental subject asked for it.

He walked to the wall, picked up a basket full of Jueyun peppers and handed them to the girl.

"What's this?"

Xiang Ling, who had had the painful experience before, did not dare to put things in her mouth and taste them this time. She could only look at them carefully with her eyes.

"Alas, you are still the child of a chef, so you can't even recognize Jueyun Jiaojiao?"

Perhaps Bai Qiyun's words touched some nerve in Xiang Ling, and her reaction suddenly became intense.

"What's wrong with the chef's children? Do the chef's children have to recognize this and that?"

The water glass hit the table and the water in it almost spilled out.

The boy didn't answer, but silently handed over the chili in his hand.

He had a preliminary understanding of the character of the girl in front of him. She was a little guy with a bad temper.

"Well, even though it's not required, some people can still do it."

Hearing that Xiang Ling across from me was not even a chef, a guy who had just started working for a few days became a bitch.

He keeps a straight face, as if he is afraid that others will not know that he is talking about himself.

"Oh? Does that mean you recognize it?"

For some reason, Xiang Ling felt that this appearance was what the boy in front of her should look like.

The guy before, who was full of gloom, darkness, and his whole body was stained with gray, shouldn't be his true face.

"Ha, I am just a trainee chef who has just started!"

Just like a child showing off a toy that others don't have, in front of Xiang Ling, Bai Qiyun always felt that the identity of the chef was unusually superior.

After all, he is just a seven-year-old kid now, and he doesn't think so much.

Showing off and being proud, these things that seem deadly to adults, don't feel out of place on him at all.

After all, this is how it should be at this age.

His gesture aroused Xiang Ling's sense of antagonism that came from nowhere.

The little girl pouted, looking like she was provoking a thorn.

"You are still 'under', which era are you from?"

While the little girl disdained the other person's showing off, she secretly envied the other person in her heart.

It's amazing that you can become a chef at this age.

It's just that she won't say this in front of him, otherwise this guy will definitely become an even worse person.

——Eh? ‘This guy’?

Thinking of this, Xiang Ling realized that she didn't seem to know the name of the boy in front of her.

So she moved forward reluctantly with a shy face.

"name."

"ah?"

"Name, usually you should understand it when you mention the name."

Girl, your coquettish look made Bai Qiyun feel strange.

It turns out this guy still has such a side.

It's just not his style to just grant the other person's wish.

Bai Qiyun raised his eyebrows, crossed his hands on his chest and pretended to be serious, "Isn't it polite to introduce yourself before asking others for their names?"

"Huh? Don't you already know my name?"
