20 years of living in a nursing home, 40 years of detours are avoided

Half an hour later.

Sitting in the university cafeteria, Jiang Yuan was utterly speechless.

He glanced at the desolate university cafeteria, empty because it was past breakfast time.

Turning to He Miao, he asked, "You're planning to treat me to a meal here?"

Jiang Yuan: "Is there any difference between this and a retirement home cafeteria?"

He Miao huffed.

"You wouldn't know it, but our school, Jiangcheng University, has a chef who used to be the head chef at a five-star hotel!"

As she said this,

He Miao even puffed out her chest with pride.

Seeing this sudden "beautiful scenery," Jiang Yuan's breath hitched.

Forget it.

I'm already here; I'll just listen to this girl brag for a while.

"This chef used to work at a big hotel in the capital, but he retired a few years ago. Because his younger relatives are studying here, he came to be a cook here."

"I'm telling you, you might not be able to eat this in a few years!"

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow: "So, this person is which of your elders?"

He Miao was dumbfounded: "How could you guess that he's a relative of mine?"

Live broadcast comments:

[Not just He Miao, even I, an observer watching the live broadcast, can't figure out how Jiang Yuan deduced that.]

[Just from some useless information, he can come to a conclusion?]

[A reminder to every melon-eating crowd watching Brother Yuan's chill stream, it's already been dug up online that Jiang Yuan graduated from Capital University, and he was one of the top students.]

[? ? ?]

[Capital University is the dream of so many students. This dog actually went to a retirement home to chill after graduating from Capital University?]

[A friend of mine was in the same class as Jiang Yuan in college. It's said that Jiang Yuan was very competitive in college. Before the graduate recruitment season even started, several Fortune 500 companies had already signed letters of intent with Jiang Yuan.]

[Yes, yes, yes, I went to the same school as Jiang Yuan. This matter caused quite a stir at the school. It's said that several companies were almost in agreement with Jiang Yuan, but in the end, Jiang Yuan suddenly rejected everyone and left with his diploma.]

[What's even more outrageous is that this guy originally had the possibility of being recommended for graduate school, but he refused at the last moment.]

[? ? ?]

[To the elder brothers and sisters in front, are you sure that the one you're talking about is really Capital University? Is there really a student in the world who can refuse the recommendation for graduate school from Capital University?]

[Now, everyone is basically guessing that Jiang Yuan must have suffered a huge shock at some unknown time.]

[So, this is the difference between a genius and me? He can deduce the correct answer with a little bit of information. Even if the genius is chilling, his thinking mode is still a genius's thinking. I'm crying to death!]

[...]

Jiang Yuan looked at He Miao with an expression no different from looking at an idiot.

"If there really is such a hidden master in this school, he naturally wouldn't want others to know of his existence and wouldn't flaunt his past accomplishments to the world."

"Because once he says it, and the students in the school know that there's such a big shot hidden in their school's cafeteria, not to mention they'll come to eat the five-star chef's dishes every day, they might even bring their relatives and friends to the school cafeteria to taste the five-star chef's craftsmanship at the cheapest price."

He Miao: "..."

She opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to say that it wouldn't be that bad.

But after really thinking about it, she carefully considered it.

She found that what Jiang Yuan said was the most likely scenario.

Jiang Yuan didn't notice He Miao's expression.

He just continued to analyze according to his own logic.

"I guess, it won't be long before your relative will mention resigning to your school."

He Miao opened her mouth: "It wouldn't be that bad, would it..."

This elder in her mouth was her maternal grandfather.

As the only girl in the younger generation of the family, whether on her grandfather's side or her maternal grandfather's side, she had always enjoyed the best treatment in the entire family.

Her retired maternal grandfather was even worried that she wouldn't eat well in the school cafeteria, so he specifically found such a job.

She has now been admitted to graduate school.

How could her maternal grandfather resign from the school at this time?

But seeing Jiang Yuan's serious expression,

For a moment,

He Miao couldn't even firmly believe in her previous thoughts. Looking at Jiang Yuan, she asked hesitantly: "Is what you're saying true?"

Live broadcast comments:

[Just because of a few words, he'll resign? It wouldn't be that bad, would it?]

[Jiang Yuan is probably just trying to fool He Miao. Looking at He Miao's reaction, he's fooling her quite successfully.]

[I think Jiang Yuan said it very seriously. Maybe what he said is true. It won't be long before He Miao's elder will really resign because of today's live broadcast?]

[Really, whether it's He Miao or some of the viewers in our live broadcast room, don't you really think that you're praising Jiang Yuan too much? If you ask me, what he just said should just be a simple scare to He Miao, with no substantial deduction effect.]

[...]

—

Listening to He Miao's words,

Jiang Yuan still couldn't control his temper.

In front of the camera, he rolled his eyes at He Miao, a great beauty, "Wouldn't be that bad? It's too bad?"

"You've already said that the elder came to the school cafeteria for you, which means that he's not here to work at all. If a bunch of people know that there's a five-star chef here and come to eat, and your elder is exhausted, wouldn't he resign?"

He Miao: "..."

What he said seemed to make sense.

Thinking of this,

He Miao couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

When she looked at the live broadcast camera behind Jiang Yuan, her expression was even more resentful.

Originally,

She brought Jiang Yuan here just to show off to Jiang Yuan that she had a loving and very skilled chef maternal grandfather.

If she had shown such sincerity, just to treat Jiang Yuan to a meal,

The grudges between them yesterday should have been put down by Jiang Yuan, right?

But...

How could she have imagined that she would be smart her whole life but confused for a moment.

She calculated everything, but forgot to calculate how many people watching the live broadcast might be her alumni, and how many people might be attracted by her words.

He Miao lowered her head a little dejectedly.

She seemed to have done something wrong...

Suddenly.

A warm hand gently patted her shoulder.

She looked up.

Meeting Jiang Yuan's gentle eyes, He Miao was stunned.

Why would Jiang Yuan look at her with such gentle eyes?

Was he going to comfort her?

The next second.

Jiang Yuan spoke.

And then.

He Miao's face changed...
