The strongest gourmet food system

Chapter 837 Chapter 374 Answer
Dim street lights shone on the ground, and the maple trees standing on both sides of the sidewalk had already lost all their leaves.

This street should be full of artistic conception, but now it is a bit cold.

Catherine lowered her head, twirled her fingers, and followed Zheng Ke. She could guess what Zheng Ke wanted to say to her, and she wanted to know Zheng Ke's answer.

"Do you remember, when I met my aunt, I said that I have no relatives in this world?" Zheng Ke turned to look at Catherine.

"I remember." Catherine nodded repeatedly.

"That's true... I suddenly lost my family, and then I was alone, penniless, standing on the streets of Tokyo... A kind old couple took me in and let me work in their restaurant. Then, an accident , gave me the opportunity to take the entrance exam for Totsuki Academy, and I was lucky enough to become a student of Totsuki Academy.

"However, I still had no money. Later, I participated in the chicken nugget competition and lost to Ruishan. I also worked for a restaurant, but that restaurant also closed down. However, in that restaurant, I met you Brother, is this considered fate?"

Catherine pouted, and Absolun knew Zheng Ke earlier than she did.

"For most people, being admitted to Totsuki Academy is more important than tuition fees, but for me, tuition fees are more important than admission qualifications. Even after entering the school, I still worry about the money to buy ingredients."

"Zheng Ke..." Catherine opened her mouth. This was the first time she had heard of these things.

Recalling the bits and pieces of the past, Zheng Ke's strong image has been deeply engraved in her memory, but she did not expect that behind Zheng Ke, there is such a bitter journey.

"However, it got much better later. Senior Shiraishi and Senior Sister Xuanli helped me a lot - it can be said that without them, I might not have become the Ten Elites of Yuanyue, nor would I be qualified to stand on the stage of the-blue finals. Later. , something happened at a friend’s house. I went over to help with a small favor and gave me a generous reward. After that, the tuition issue was successfully resolved."

"Sorry, I don't know any of this." Catherine felt a little guilty.

As her father said, she doesn't know Zheng Ke at all, otherwise, she would not be ignorant of these things.

"It has nothing to do with you. These are my own affairs. Even if you want to help, I will not let you intervene." Zheng Ke waved his hands again and again, "The purpose of my saying this is that I like you, and I want to hold you. One hundred roses, I want to date you, I want to spend Valentine's Day with you, I want to hold hands with you and walk on the Champs Elysées..."

"Then let's..." Catherine frowned.

"But...I won't do that."

Zheng Ke had a slight smile on his face, but in Catherine's eyes, Zheng Ke's smile was sharper than a scalpel, piercing into her heart, it really hurt.

"Why? Did I do something bad?" Catherine was about to cry.

"It's because I didn't do a good enough job." Zheng Ke sighed, "I...actually, I also know what you mean. However, if I agree to you rashly, I will be irresponsible to you and to this relationship... ...I have nothing to give you right now."

"But I don't care," said Catherine.

"But I care!" Zheng Ke retorted, "I don't want to let myself fail like this. So..."

Zheng Ke took a deep breath and said to Catherine: "I will catch up as soon as possible. If the speed is fast, it may take a year. If it is slow, it should take two or three years. If at that time, you are still willing..."

"I am willing..." Catherine nodded repeatedly, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, "But don't make me wait so long."

"Three years?" Zheng Ke speculated.

"No! One year—" Catherine retorted.

"One year? I might not be able to do it." Zheng Ke was a little confused.

"I can't say it can't be done!" Catherine said dissatisfiedly, her eyes widening.

"Ah? This doesn't work?" Zheng Ke said depressedly.

"No, no, no, no... Anyway, no!" Catherine shook her head repeatedly, her long black hair flying in the air.

Zheng Ke looked at Catherine with a serious face, and didn't know how to explain it, so he could only put this question aside.

"Before that, we'd better restrain ourselves and forget about this matter for the time being. After all...it's really difficult to move forward. I can't guarantee how far I can go -"

Everything is like sailing against the current, and if there is a slight negligence, all previous efforts may be wasted.

"Of course, there is a long line of people who want to date me. It's not that simple." Catherine looked at Zheng Ke proudly.

This little girl...

Zheng Ke sullenly, feeling a little depressed.

"However, one year...well, okay." Catherine didn't listen to Zheng Ke's words at all, raised her head to think for a while, and nodded slightly.

One year...it's really difficult...

Zheng Ke had a headache.

"However, before that, can you charge some interest?" Catherine looked up at Zheng Ke.

"Interest?" Zheng Ke was slightly taken aback.

"Ok!"

Catherine stood on tiptoe.

Under the bright moonlight, the shadows of the two had brief contact.

After parting, Catherine's ears were flushed, and Zheng Ke scratched his head in embarrassment.

……

"Hey, can you stop standing in front of the window sill and walking back and forth, my eyes are blurred." Natalie complained, looking at her husband dissatisfied.

"I know—oh, tell me, did I do something wrong? If I let Catherine go to Zheng Ke, isn't that just sending the lamb to the wolf's mouth?" Milne regretted.

"It's still unclear who is the lamb and who is the wolf?" Natalie muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Milne glanced at Natalie dissatisfied.

"I mean, I don't think Zheng Ke is a bad guy." Natalie said.

"Do you know him?" Milne asked.

"I... Didn't I listen to what you said? Really."

Seeing Milne nod his head, Natalie was secretly relieved.

Milne continued to turn his head. Under the dark night, a car with lights on was slowly approaching, and finally stopped at the door of the villa.

"Shh, keep your voice down, we're back." Milne breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zheng Ke sending Catherine to the door.

"I see... Zheng Ke is not bad, right?" Natalie poked Milne's arm.

"Ahem, not bad, what? It's only once." Milne muttered.

"What happened once? It was sent back in person." Natalie glanced at Milne dissatisfied.

Zheng Ke returned to the taxi and left quickly. Catherine also opened the door and entered the villa, and walked up the stairs lightly.

"Tell me, what is their relationship?" Milne whispered after Catherine closed the door.

"Well, my baby girl was walking very fast just now, so she should be in trouble." Natalie explained.

"However, the two of them didn't hug each other when they parted, so there must be no point." Milne retorted that the good daughter he had carefully raised for 17 years was gone like this?He didn't allow this to happen.

"Well... why don't you go and ask?" Natalie winked at Milne.

"What am I asking? Anyway, Zheng Ke is going to leave soon." Milne turned his head and said.

Natalie covered her mouth and smiled without saying a word.

After Catherine entered the room, she threw herself on the bed, her face flushed. What happened tonight was like a dream.

Zheng Ke's answer did surprise her, but she was not disappointed in her heart.On the contrary, I feel that Zheng Ke's caution may not be a good thing, and she is indeed a little impatient.

Whether it's one year or three years... I can definitely wait until that day.

must……

A happy smile appeared on Catherine's face.
