Chapter 145: Soy Milk

Ruan Mian scooped up the yellow and white beans that had been soaking all night, crushed them lightly; they were soaked through and ready to be made.

She scooped the beans into the blender and added a large ladle of water.

She turned on the switch, and after a buzzing sound, the water turned into a milky, slightly yellowish Soy Milk.

But that was not enough.

She poured it into a pot and brought it to a boil.

She added white sugar to a cup, poured in the Soy Milk, and stirred it well.

"All done!"

Ruan Mian looked at Lu Yi beside her with a beaming smile, "You come try the Soy Milk and see if you like it."

Lu Yi cast a triumphant smile toward Xia Cheng, who was walking over with quickened steps.

No matter what, he was still more important in Ruan's heart than him!

The next second, a fair, delicate hand holding a cup was extended toward Xia Cheng behind her.

"Little Xia, you try it too and see if you like it."

Xia Cheng gave a well-behaved "mm," took the cup with both hands, and said, "Thank you, Sister~"

He also quietly provoked Lu Yi beside him with the cup.

Lu Yi's hand gripping his cup tightened, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

"Sister, it's delicious, I like it very much!"

As soon as Ruan Mian heard him say he liked it, her eyes curved into crescents.

"Then which do you prefer, this Soy Milk or the Lemonade?"

"They each have their own merits; both are very delicious."

"Hmph."

Lu Yi on the side let out a sarcastic remark.

He took a sip from his cup, "I really like the Soy Milk; it's mellow, rich, flavorful, and has a faint, fresh plant fragrance. I just like this one."

The Lemonade was good too, but it was a bit too sour; he liked it, but he liked the Soy Milk more.

"I'm not like Brother; I just feel that everything Sister makes is delicious, I like it all."

Such a green tea!!!

"Mm-hmm, everyone has different tastes; some like this, some like that, but as long as it's good overall, that's fine!"

Thinking of someone else, the tenderness in Ruan Mian's eyes was about to overflow.

Huo Junze would probably like it too!

She scooped up another large cup, packed it up properly, sealed the lid, carefully wiped the cup clean, and even thoughtfully wrote a sticky note.

【Careful, it's hot~】

After getting everything perfectly prepared, she stored the Soy Milk in her Light Brain and sent it off to that person.

"Huo Junze, this is the Soy Milk I just made. I added some sugar, try it and see if you like it~"

Huo Junze?

Lu Yi was very unhappy; he knew that Ruan Mian and Huo Junze had a partnership.

But he didn't know when the two of them had become so close.

This kind of slightly intimate tone really made one feel very unhappy!

"Ruan, when did you get so close to President Huo?" Lu Yi clicked his tongue, then figured it out, "Are you planning to collaborate with President Huo on this Soy Milk too?"

He patted Ruan Mian on the shoulder, full of admiration.

"Ruan is truly amazing!"

Ruan Mian was just about to speak when her Light Brain rang.

Thinking it was Huo Junze replying to her message, she took a look and saw it was a spaceship requesting entry.

It was an old customer.

Ji Jialin ran down from the spaceship quickly, the expression on her face indescribably bright.

"Sister Ruan! What delicious thing are you making again? It smells so good~"

Seeing her, Ruan Mian teased her in return.

"You must have a dog's nose; you can smell the fragrance from so far away!"

Her hand quickly scooped up a cup of Soy Milk, added a large spoonful of sugar, stirred it, and handed it over.

"Here, try it. This is the Soy Milk I just made today; see if you like it."

Seeing her impatient look, she quickly reminded her, "Careful, it's hot!"

With one mouthful of Soy Milk, the mellow and rich drink, carrying a fresh plant scent, rushed into her throat.

With the sweet taste, it felt very comfortable.

"Delicious!"

The bean flavor was rich, and for Ji Jialin, who had never eaten these things, it was just delicious.

"As long as you like it."

She drank it all in a few gulps and still seemed to want more.

"Sister Ruan, how much is a cup of Soy Milk?"

Ruan Mian had been dealing with her for so long, how could she not know what she was trying to do?

She laughed and shook her head, "This is something I just tried making today; I'm not ready to sell it yet. If you want more, I'll scoop you another cup."

Ji Jialin's eyes lit up instantly.

She held out her cup with both hands, her voice rising a few notches.

"Then I want another cup!"

Xia Cheng, however, was very unhappy, feeling that Sister Ruan was still too kind-hearted to just give it away for nothing.

The next second, another spaceship landed from outside.

Lu Yi walked forward quickly, looking guardedly at the spaceship in the sky.

Ruan Mian patted his arm.

"It's fine, it's my guest."

The person who walked down from the spaceship was none other than Qin Xiulin.

Ruan Mian teased, "Yo, Mr. Qin has free time again today."

The moment Qin Xiulin's gaze met her face, his eyes and brows were filled with smiles.

It seemed that the moment he saw her face, the bit of annoyance lingering in his heart dissipated quite a bit.

He didn't even know when her face had become able to affect his state of mind.

"Miss Ruan, I've come to support your business, isn't that good?"

Ruan Mian made a gesture of invitation.

"Of course I welcome it~"

Just as Qin Xiulin was smiling, his gaze met the two men behind her.

That's right, two of them.

He had seen both of these men before.

When Lu Yi saw this man, his Mental Power surged again, turning into thick armor as he took a large step forward to shield Ruan Mian behind him.

"Ruan, hide behind me!"

It had to be said, it was somewhat moving.

Lu Yi was still loyal.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, this is a regular customer, a regular customer!"

"Yeah, brother, don't be nervous." Xia Cheng followed him forward and teased, "This is our customer; are you trying to ruin Sister's business?"

Lu Yi's gaze was stern as he swept over Xia Cheng, "What do you know!"

The expression on Qin Xiulin's face darkened, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Everything before was a misunderstanding; Boss Ruan and I have already cleared it up, there is no malice."

Ruan Mian knew they had misunderstood, so she hurriedly tugged on Lu Yi's sleeve.

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, it's all been cleared up." After saying this, she didn't forget to blink her eyes.

Lu Yi seemed to understand something.

"Alright, alright, let's let our customer come in first."

She pulled him to one side and went to scoop out a cup of Soy Milk to hand over, "Mr. Qin, come and have a taste; there's something new to eat today~"

The room was filled with the fresh fragrance of plants.

Qin Xiulin's eyes lit up immediately, and he was even more delighted after tasting the flavor of the Soy Milk.

"It's delicious, Boss Ruan is amazing!"

"That goes without saying!"

Having received recognition once again, Ruan Mian was very happy, extremely happy.

There was nothing happier than having the food one made recognized by a diner.

Suddenly, she didn't know why, but she smelled a fishy odor.

"Ugh—"
