59: Chapter 60: Substitute (5) 59: Chapter 60: Substitute (5) His world collapsed in an instant.
No one knew that his decision to single-mindedly pursue a career in music was because of a girl.
The beauty of that moment in music, the girl’s pure beauty—it was like a deep scar, leaving a trace in his heart.
Over the years, he had been tirelessly searching for that girl.
Unfortunately, he had never been successful.
It might not have been his first love, but it was the only time his heart had fluttered in all these years.
But to mix up the girl who had quickened his heartbeat with Jiang Xuanqi, who was fawning over him right now—he found it disgusting no matter how he looked at it!
It was a desecration!
While speaking, Jian Anning placed the porridge and chicken wings she had just bought to the side.
Yu Zexiao, without thinking, lifted the lid.
He had just tasted a spoonful of porridge and bitten into a chicken wing when he immediately furrowed his brows, visibly dissatisfied, “Assistant Jian, how do you do your job?
This porridge, concocted with essence and lacking any proper cooking, contains lean meat from pork that has been refrigerated for who knows how many days.
And these spicy wings, the oil is of such bad quality, the proportions of the ingredients are all wrong, this is not something fit for human consumption!
Are you trying to kill me?”
Nothing was to her satisfaction, Jian Anning grew angry!
Yu Zexiao, still oblivious, clapped the containers shut and flung the entire bag of food in a smooth arc into the trash can not too far away, “Buy them again!”
“Yu, Ze, Xiao!” If possible, Jian Anning really wanted to retrieve that box of porridge and smash it hard against his handsome face!
“Can you be reasonable for once?
We’re so pressed for time, where can I find the time to make you century egg and lean pork porridge and fried chicken wings?” Jian Anning clenched her fists, struggling to swallow her anger, knowing better than to argue with him in public, “I’ll make it for you this afternoon, okay?”
“I want to eat it now, immediately, right away!” Yu Zexiao, completely unself-aware, gave her a disdainful look and threatened menacingly, “If I don’t see what I want within half an hour, you’re dead meat!”
“Go starve to death!” Jian Anning had had enough of this guy’s unpredictable temper!
Strange to say, Yu Zexiao, watching her face turn red with rage and her eyes gleam with moisture, actually—felt great!
It was like that feeling when you’re not happy, you like to squeeze instant noodles in the supermarket or poke condoms.
Just knowing you’re unhappy makes me happy.
At this moment, his mood had been very bad, but seeing Jian Anning upset because of him, his mood became very good.
His lips curved upward slightly.
He leaned back comfortably against the chair, crossing his legs, “After all, you are my assistant.
If I don’t eat well, it will harm my body.
If my body is harmed, I won’t be able to act, and if work is delayed, you’ll be the one the company deals with.”
Jian Anning couldn’t take it anymore, her fists raised like an angry little lion!
Even if she were to be fired by the company, she was determined to give this wildly imagined bastard a good thrashing!
Her fist was raised in mid-air when, beside her, Director Li, looking at Yu Zexiao’s smiling lips and the furious Jian Anning, suddenly had a stroke of genius, “Wait a minute!”
Jian Anning looked at him puzzled, but Director Li said with a smile, “Assistant Jian, could you please help with something?”
