She expressed her feelings to Xiaoshu, but unexpectedly a car accident happened...
In that car accident, Guan Xiaoshu lost her eyesight, but the cheerful and lively Guan Xiaoshu did not feel depressed, nor did she complain to God. It was unfair to her, but she chose to face the future with strength and optimism. But the infatuated Leng Lie couldn't let go. He blamed himself and decided to make up for Xiao Shu's future. In addition to not giving up any hope, he took Xiao Shu around to find a way to let her see the light again. He even went against his own principles and returned to Taiwan to serve as the culinary director of the Imperial Hotel, which his father Leng Zhongtian invested heavily in. I hate administrative work, and all this is just to be by Xiao Shu's side, but even though the cold food can satisfy everyone's heart, it still can't make Xiao Shu open his heart...
In fact, Xiao Shu also had the same feelings for Leng Lie, but this feeling began to deteriorate after the car accident, because every time Leng Lie paid more to Xiao Shu, the more Xiao Shu felt the guilt in Leng Lie's heart, so Xiao Shu chose to avoid Leng Lie's kindness to her and tried to return the relationship between the two to the original starting point... Until one day, Xiao Shu came to a snack bar called "Egg Fried Rice" and found a plate of seemingly ordinary food. Egg fried rice actually made Xiao Shu feel a kind of happiness without pressure and burden, and the person who made such delicious egg fried rice was actually just a rookie chef Mi Qilin who had been cooking for less than two years...
< p>Mi Qilin is the chef of this egg fried rice restaurant. With the delicious egg fried rice that is only available in limited quantities during lunch time, this egg fried rice restaurant has become a famous restaurant that has been passed down by word of mouth among foodies, but no one guessed Got this egg fried rice restaurant with long queues at noon every day, but at night, no one is interested? It turns out that Mi Qilin is a unique chef who only knows how to scramble eggs and fried rice. Except for egg fried rice, all other dishes are so unpalatable that it is difficult to swallow. As a result, during dinner time, he can only survive on the signature pickles sold on consignment in the store.Because of Nancy’s relationship, Xiao Shu learned about Leng Lie’s feelings, so he decided to accept Leng Lie’s feelings again, and regained the hope of seeing the light that he had long given up. But at this moment, the doctor gave him Leng Lie's desperate answer is that Xiao Shu's eyes can no longer be healed... Leng Lie originally wanted to hide this cruel reality from Xiao Shu, but in an abnormal dish, Xiao Shu guessed Leng Lie's thoughts, so Leng Lie Lie emphasized his love for Xiao Shu by proposing, but at this moment, Xiao Shu believed that Leng Lie's feelings for him, besides love, were more about guilt and self-blame. Xiao Shu, who was in a state of inner confusion, chose to leave after dawn, leaving the wedding ring Leng Lie gave her without saying goodbye.
Xiao Shu, who had no idea where to go, came to the egg fried rice restaurant. She sat silently in the corner of the restaurant, sitting there from day to night, no matter how the waiters Wasami and Half Dragon interacted with Xiao Shu when they were about to close. Shu persuaded, but Xiao Shu never said a word. Seeing that Xiao Shu was in a bad mood, Mi Qilin poured her a glass of wine. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shu became drunk and unconscious. After Xiao Shu woke up, Xiao Shu asked Mi Qilin made a request to Mi Qilin to temporarily take her in...
Xiao Shu was originally a cheerful and lively cute girl, but after losing her sight, others mixed with sighs and sympathy, and Xiao Shu was at a loss what to do. Being cautious, the optimistic Xiao Shu has never been able to get out of the haze of blindness, especially when facing Leng Lie, whom she loves deeply, because she is blind and cannot distinguish whether Leng Lie's love for her comes from sympathy or guilt, but The frankness of Mi Qilin and others made Xiao Shu have no such worries at all.
Through Wasami’s introduction, Xiao Shu rented the ghost grandmother’s house and started her independent life again.
During this period of life, Xiao Shu became friends with Cai Shancheng (nicknamed Sanshi or Half Dragon) who was timid but liked to pretend to be a gangster and fight fiercely, and Wasami, a hot girl who worked in a restaurant for Mi Qilin. , and felt Mi Qilin’s enthusiasm and optimism even more...
After finding a place to live, Xiao Shu told Leng Lie that he wanted to live independently and hoped that the two could return to their original simple relationship. Leng Lie listened in silence As Xiao Shu said his decision, he understood that everything Xiao Shu did was actually to reject Leng Lie's sacrifice, because Leng Lie's love was too heavy for Xiao Shu, and in order to respect Xiao Shu, he could only accept it silently. .
After Xiao Shu left, Leng Lie devoted himself to work in order to forget the sadness in his heart. In addition to continuously improving the catering quality of the Imperial Hotel, he also expanded the customer base of the Imperial Hotel and stood out from the crowd. In order to overturn the past impression that the Imperial Hotel only served the top consumer class of the pyramid, it held a million-dollar lunch contest.
In order to help the third layer pay off their debts, Mi Qilin decided to participate in the Million Bento Contest to earn bonuses. However, Mi Qilin never expected that in this cooking competition, in addition to the participating chefs' own specialties,... In addition, he also had to design a creative bento dish, which put Mi Qilin, who could only scramble eggs and fried rice, into crisis. In the end, Mi Qilin still lost the game. At this time, the organizer of the competition, Leng Lie, discovered in Mi Qilin's creative lunch box that one of the most critical things was missing in Mi Qilin's cooking...
Under Leng Lie’s guidance, Mi Qilin finally understood the mystery of the ingredients, and in the process, Leng Lie also discovered that Mi Qilin had a magical talent—taste buds. An uncanny gift for knowing ingredients, condiments, and cooking methods just by tasting them. Based on the idea of ????cherishing talents, Leng Lie decided to help Mi Qilin become a real chef, and the two became good brothers who were both teachers and friends... In this way, a lively bento contest made Leng Lie and Mi Qilin... The triangular relationship with Xiao Shu has undergone new changes.
Compared to Leng Lie's every possible care for Xiao Shu, Mi Qilin's attitude towards Xiao Shu is completely different. Mi Qilin never treated Xiao Shu differently because of Xiao Shu's blindness. He either called Xiao Shu "blind" without any scruples, or pretended to be blind and went shopping or riding the Ferris wheel with Xiao Shu. One time He even took Xiao Shu to watch a movie together, making Xiao Shu happy by showing off the scenes in the movie. Facing Mi Qilin like this, Xiao Shu never felt any uneasiness. On the contrary, he felt at ease.
It is not so much that Mi Qilin accepts the fact that Xiao Shu is blind than others, but that Mi Qilin never treats Xiao Shu as a blind person. Xiao Shu understands this better than anyone else, and is more moved than anyone else. Unknowingly, Mi Qilin has entered Xiao Shu's heart. Only when facing Mi Qilin can Xiao Shu be completely willful, nagging and even make unreasonable demands. Most importantly, Xiao Shu feels in Mi Qilin A kind of happiness, just like the egg fried rice he makes, without pressure or burden.
Mi Qilin also developed feelings for Xiaoshu while getting along day and night.
But because of worries about Leng Lie, Mi Qilin always suppressed his love for Xiao Shu and selflessly helped Xiao Shu accept Leng Lie's feelings again. However, Mi Qilin, who played the role of Cupid, always felt inexplicable sadness in his heart...
On the other hand, Mi Qilin's cooking skills have made amazing progress. Leng Lie found that Mi Qilin's cooking was enough to keep pace with him. While being surprised, he also saw Mi Qilin and Xiao Shu. The subtle and intimate interaction between them was exactly what he lacked. A feeling of loneliness began to spread in his heart. However, seeing Xiao Shu smile again because of Mi Qilin, he also worried about the friendship with Mi Qilin. Leng Lie tried Ignore the faint jealousy in my heart...
At this moment, due to an accident, Xiao Shu's blind eyes regained sight. However, Xiao Shu, who regained sight again, was not happy because of this. Shu knew that he no longer had any reason to refuse Leng Lie...
