“This is your room here,” Su Yu Hi told Yu Qi.
“Brother Yu Hi has very good taste.” Yu Qi said and looked around the room.
Yu Qi sat on the chair prepared for him while Su Yu Hi was already sitting down. They started their monthly meeting. Su Yu Hi told him about her company for the past month. Yu Qi nodded when he heard the report. Both companies are making good progress in their profits.
“Yu Qi, this ryokan is 100 percent finished. When is the grand opening?” Su Yu Hi asked.
“Hmm... I think Sister Mei Fung's training will be completed soon. Brother Yu Hi, you've found employees for ryokan, right?”
“Iya.”
“You can fill another position but leave the position ‘Okami’ to me. I already have the right person for that position.”
“Okay, Yu Qi.”
“Brother Yu Hi, you can find another assistant to help you. The work continues to increase and I do not want Brother Yu Hi to become ill due to the increased workload.” Said Yu Qi while looking at Su Yu Hi's face.
Yu Qi grabbed his hand and read his pulse. Yu Qi frowned as he felt his pulse.
“Go and take two days off.” Yu Qi's orders.
“Yu Qi, I'm fine.” Su Yu Hi insisted on working.
“No. Keep your mind off work and relax your mind.” Yu Qi, as a doctor, knew that if Su Yu Hi did not rest and free her mind from work, sooner or later she would faint.
“You should tell me about what you will do in the next two days. There's no work. Understand?” Yu Qi ordered Su Yu Hi in a tone that forced people to obey her.
In the end, Su Yu Hi gave up. He will follow his orders. He himself knew that he did not have a short vacation for a long time.
The meeting ended with Su Yu Hi getting two days off. To make sure Su Yu Hi rested well, he told the employees to contact him directly if they encountered a problem that they could not solve on their own because Su Yu Hi was getting two days off. The employee nodded, taking orders from their female boss.
Su Yu Hi wanted to send Yu Qi back to the university, but Yu Qi rejected her because she wanted to take a walk in the city. Well, Aoi and Bo Ya were asking for food from the outside because they were tired of what the university had.
Yu Qi went to the street selling some street food. The two little foodies would love it if he brought them a new meal to try.
The first kiosk he saw was selling Jianbing, otherwise known as the Chinese Crepe. It was a very common street food. The dough is made from wheat and wheat flour and is fried on a frying pan with eggs at its base. Meanwhile, the middle is filled with chives, lettuce, coriander, and a rich chili sauce. She brought some for herself and her cute little one.
After that, he went to the next stall that sold Cifantuan or Ci Faan, also known as sticky rice balls. Cifantuan or Ci Faan is a rice ball filled with a variety of locally flavored ingredients. The most common type is the savory type. There are also sweet variations, the same ingredients as the savory ones but added sugar and sesame. Yu Qi made the decision to buy two different types to give it a try.
He walked again observing the stall to find something else that looked good. He found something. He saw Baozi or Chinese Bread. Baozi is a dough bread, often filled with juicy meat such as roasted pork or vegetables and steamed in a steamed tray made of bamboo. It looks so delicious.
In addition to the stalls selling Baozi, there were also stalls selling Rou Jia Mo or Chinese Hamburger. Rou Jia Mo is the Chinese version of the American hamburger except the bread is thinner and seasoned with meat sauce and chili paste – than tomato sauce and mustard. The meat is also shredded instead of a large round patty. He brings a lot, Aoi will be happy with this.
Another food that makes Aoi happy is Chuan’s or Chinese Kebab. It was a piece of meat that was pierced into a thinly cut bamboo stem. Any kind of meat or even vegetables are used. The way PKL prepares it is to coat the meat with salt, dried chili, and fine cumin seasoning, then mix the three ingredients into one before grilling the marinated meat on charcoal until cooked.
Bo Ya is a fan of sweet foods. He thought he would be happy if he brought some Bing Tangghulu. Bing Tanghulus is a type of Chinese hawthorn coated with a layer of hardened sugar syrup and poked into long thin stems. Tastes sour and sweet – similar to mini candy apple, but more sour, astringent, and granular. The outside is crisp and sweet while the inside is soft, but sweet and sour because of the fruit.
Yu Qi did not realize that he had already brought a lot of food for himself and his two cute little ones. The day also began to change color. He quickly took the bus back to university. Even the bus driver was shocked when he saw so much food for a young girl.
He knew his goal was Starlight University. Inevitably he thought that a girl with a petite body like hers could not spend all that food. He even thought he might buy the food to share with his friends.
If Yu Qi could read the mind of this bus driver, he would probably tell him that the food was for his little pet.

Zhu Xiao Ling walked out of the Faculty of Finance building. Class is over today. Tonight, he had his first training session at the shooting club. He couldn't wait to go there and see his idol. She sang her favorite song while walking.
“Hei.”
Zhu Xiao Ling ignored the voice. He thought the man was calling someone else. So, he kept walking away.
“Hei. Stop.” Two girls blocked his path and stopped him.
Zhu Xiao Ling looked at the girls who were blocking him. He doesn't know them. Assuming from their attitude, the girls might be seniors.
“Ya what is it?” Zhu Xiao Ling asked their purpose blocking his path.
“You're a member of the shooting club, right?”
“Iya.” Zhu Xiao Ling replied innocently.
“Are you close to Tang Yu Qi?”
“He's my senior in the shooting club. Why are you asking me?” Zhu Xiao Ling really did not know these girls. Perhaps these girls were friends of Sister Yu Qi. That's why he's polite to them.
“We want to be friends with Tang Yu Qi? Can you tell me about him?” One of the girls asked.
These girls are smiling sweetly.
“Sorry. I'm not close to him because I just became a member of the shooting club.” Zhu Xiao Ling politely apologized to these girls.
“Is that? I thought you could help me be her friend.” The girls were disappointed by Zhu Xiao Ling's reply.
“If you want to be friends with him, you can ask him then.” Zhu Xiao Ling told them.
She thought Sister Yu Qi was good. He would accept these girls if they wanted to be his friends.
“I did something wrong with him. I wanted to apologize. Can you ask her what her favorite food is? I want to give it to him. You have to keep it a secret.” Said the girl.
“OK. I'll try asking that.” Zhu Xiao Ling agreed to ask Yu Qi about it.
“Thank you.”
Zhu Xiao Ling left the place. The girls are still standing there.
“Feng Jiu, are you sure the girl will ask Tang Yu Qi?” One of the girls asked.
Yes, it was Bai Feng Jiu. Cousin Bai Shu Jin.
“I'm sure he'll do it.” Bai Feng Jiu smiled.
“I hope so.” Friend said.
“I just want to help Brother Shu Jin. She was serious about Tang Yu Qi. This is his first love. He said he didn't want to give.” Bai Feng Jiu told her friend.
“But, I think Tang Yu Qi already has a girlfriend.” His friend mentioned about Yu Qi's girlfriend.
“She's just a girlfriend. They're not married yet. So, Big Brother Shu Jin has a chance to win her heart.” Bai Feng Jiu was convinced by her older brother Bai Shu Jin. His brother is handsome. If he tried, he would win Tang Yu Qi's heart.
Bai Feng Jiu had yet to see Tang Yu Qi's rumored girlfriend. That was why he believed in his older brother Bai Shu Jin.
Bai Feng Jiu's friend said nothing more. However, he hoped that Bai Shu Jin would never succeed in winning Tang Yu Qi's heart. It was because he also liked Bai Shu Jin. He became Bai Feng Jiu's friend because he hoped to be close to Bai Shu Jin because Bai Shu Jin was close to Bai Feng Jie. When Bai Shu Jin came and spoke to Bai Feng Jiu, it was a blessing for her. In fact, he didn't talk to her about anything.
***
Bai Shu Jin sat in the corner of the library. He learned because there was nothing to do. As for the archery club, he had already bequeathed his position to the new generation since this was the last year of his studies.
Although he can continue like the club captain and vice-captain did but he is not able to do it.
As the heir to the Bai Family, he had to match the standards his family set for him. His father had other children but they were illegitimate children. So, her father may have to choose his other children if he does not perform well.
Somehow the matter about him chasing a girl got into the ears of the Bai Family. He did not know how the new one got to their ears but his father, himself was not happy to hear the news.
Bai Shu Jin fooled them about this matter. He said that to the Bai Family's advantage. The girl he was after was the daughter of the famous Tang Family. Listening to that information, his father thought about the matter. In the end, her father agrees that she approaches the girl but she has to keep up her appearance.
“Kakak Shu Jin, learn?”
Bai Shu Jin lifted his head from the book and looked at the person who called out to him. It was Bai Feng Jiu and her friend.
“Yes. Anyway, this is my last year.” Bai Shu Jin replied.
“Brother Shu Jin, you still have feelings for Tang Yu Qi?” Bai Feng Jiu asked cautiously for fear of getting a tantrum from Bai Shu Jin.
“Why are you asking that question?” Bai Shu Jin only used a calm tone.
From his tone, Bai Feng Jiu knew that Bai Shu Jin was not angry with the question. He knew that his uncle was angry when he heard about his son who was just chasing a girl.
“I just helped you, Brother Shu Jin.” Bai Feng Jiu said as she patted her chest.
“How is it?” Bai Shu Jin asked.
“I will get information about Tang Yu Qi from my informant. I hope you can use the information to make Tang Yu Qi yours.”
“Why did you do that?”
“That's your first love. The first time you showed interest in that girl. That's why I want to help you.” Bai Feng Jiu pouted.
“Thank you, Feng Jiu.”
