My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 574 - 194: Campus Culture and Art Festival

"It’s Shaomai! I love eating it!"

The insulation box is tightly sealed, so Chen Yin can’t smell the Glass Shaomai, but just knowing it was taught by Du Xixi personally and made by Miao Miao’s own hands, Chen Yin knew it couldn’t taste bad. He immediately quickened his steps to follow Miao Miao.

Chen Yin still had to handle some official duties today, so he and Miao Miao went directly to the palace where he specifically deals with government affairs. Inside seemed to have been tidied up especially, although the stacks of official documents still made it look a bit cramped, it appeared much more organized than before.

Miao Miao glanced around, guessing that it had been specially tidied up because she was coming to visit. She let Chen Yin pull her to sit on a soft chair next to his seat, feeling happy in her heart because of Chen Yin’s attentiveness to her.

She smiled as she placed the bag in her hand on the table and then took out two insulation boxes from it. Chen Yin hadn’t started handling his duties yet, so there were no official documents on the desk, and she didn’t have to worry about dirtying anything.

Miao Miao gently opened the lid of one of the boxes, inside were neatly arranged Glass Shaomai still emitting heat. Perhaps because they had been sealed for a while, there were some condensation beads on the semi-transparent surface, but the insulation box was custom-made, so the Glass Shaomai hadn’t changed otherwise.

"Quickly give it a taste." Rob brought over Chen Yin’s dedicated bowl and chopsticks from the side. Seeing his hand reaching for them, Miao Miao pushed the opened box towards him to make it easier for him to eat.

"Mm! Your cooking skills are really good!" Chen Yin sincerely began to praise Miao Miao after just two bites, both because he wanted to compliment her and because the Glass Shaomai was genuinely delicious. He ate bite after bite, his appetite no less than Ke Lian’s, and quickly finished off the entire box of Glass Shaomai.

Miao Miao watched, her eyelids twitching, but she didn’t feel any aversion to Chen Yin’s fast eating; instead, she found it quite amusing. Smiling, she handed him another box of Glass Shaomai, "This one is yours too, eat as much as you like."

"Thank you." Chen Yin looked at Miao Miao tenderly, seeing her petite figure sitting beside him, softly nodding her head at him, he suddenly felt very content inside.

He’s never known what kind of life he truly wanted, ordinary and mundane or noble and busy? Chen Yin found choosing the Empire too tiring and lonely, yet choosing himself made him worried about the Empire he inherited from his ancestors, unable to bear seeing the Empire’s responsibilities shouldered by another alone.

After much inner turmoil, today Chen Yin finally made a decision.

He doesn’t like any particular lifestyle, but if Miao Miao is by his side, he can accept any kind of life and will embrace it.

Afterward, Miao Miao accompanied Chen Yin in handling official duties, had lunch with him in the newly built pavilion outside, strolled leisurely in the vast Imperial Palace, and together they... slowly envisioned their future.

Du Xixi didn’t know how Miao Miao and Chen Yin got along in the Imperial Palace, but when Miao Miao was escorted back by Jia Yi and Jia San in the evening, Du Xixi noticed she was in a good mood, appearing even more bashful than yesterday.

Watching her shy demeanor, Du Xixi almost suspected that her brother took advantage of young Miao Miao before their relationship was confirmed. But knowing Chen Yin and Miao Miao are clear-headed individuals, Du Xixi felt such a thing wouldn’t happen at this stage and didn’t inquire more about Chen Yin and Miao Miao’s affairs.

As days passed, Du Xixi got increasingly busy in the Food Department, not because of more coursework, but because Blue Star University’s first attempt to hold a Campus Cultural Arts Festival was soon to start internally.

Although it’s Blue Star University’s first approach to a Campus Cultural Arts Festival, the scale is large and the planned arrangements detailed, just the small "food department" has seen four pages of detailed regulations.

The densely packed text initially gave Du Xixi quite a headache at sight, but fortunately, these matters of researching regulations only required extra effort from Wenren Yu as the department head, while professors without administrative positions like her only had to wait for Wenren Yu’s work arrangements.
