Chapter 56 Principal Jiang Woke Up_1
Dugu Zixi watched Shen Tianxing’s movements as she stir-fried dishes, as graceful and smooth as floating clouds and flowing water, and asked with amazement in his eyes, "Little Xingxing, how come you know how to do so much at such a young age? Could it be that your family isn’t treating you well?"
Shen Tianxing always defended her own, and when she heard her master suspecting her family of ill-treatment, she was displeased and immediately said, "How could that be? My family is very good to me. It’s precisely because they’re so kind to me that I want to repay them well and often cook delicious things for them to eat. As for my cooking skills, it’s because my master in my past life was a big glutton. I learned these culinary skills specially for him. When it comes down to it, it’s all because of you."
Dugu Zixi pointed at himself incredulously, "What are you saying? I was a big glutton in my past life?"
Shen Tianxing, seeing his eyes widened in shock, nodded with a bit of amusement, "Yes, that’s right. What, don’t you believe it?"
Dugu Zixi put aside his shocked expression and smiled, "I actually find it a bit hard to believe. I don’t feel like I’m that gluttonous in this life!"
Shen Tianxing gave him a sidelong glance and said with a smile, "In the past life, master, whether it was about food or clothes, you were extremely picky. To satisfy you, this disciple of yours put in a lot of effort. It was because of your pickiness that I became so skilled."
Dugu Zixi imagined himself in his past life with a proud and haughty face, harshly criticizing Little Xingxing’s cooking skills, and suddenly felt somewhat displeased with his past self for letting his Little Xingxing suffer so much.
He spoke with a hint of guilt, "Little Xingxing, I’m sorry for the hardships you faced in the last life. This life, let me learn, let me learn these skills, and then I can take good care of you, okay?"
When Shen Tianxing heard his words, she could not help but feel delighted inside, "Really? Are you serious?"
Dugu Zixi said earnestly, "Of course, it’s true! My word is my bond, Dugu Zixi never goes back on his word!"
