Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the day the hotel opened, Zhou Ling fulfilled his promise by spending a considerable amount of money to invite the capital planet’s largest television station. Ten flying steamships were employed to pull a massive banner, effectively promoting the hotel.
In the following week, the trending topic of #The Zhou Family’s Acting Patriarch Spending Money for a Beauty’s Smile# maintained its position in the top three trending topics. Consequently, the hotel’s business experienced a surge in popularity.
On the eve of the grand opening, Lin Wan organized a special event to celebrate. The guests were encouraged to take photos in the hotel and upload them to the Star Web social media account’s social circle. By accumulating a total of 200 yuan, participants would receive a complimentary breakfast voucher, redeemable at any time during the subsequent month. This exclusive event lasted for a week, with only 10,000 spots available. The first participant to receive the highest number of likes would win the prize.
In an instant, numerous individuals from the Interstellar Alliance Capital’s social circle flocked to the hotel, eager to savor the delicacies, capture moments, and share them on social media in search of recognition. The hotel’s reputation flourished as a result of this event.
Ping Ye was one of the fortunate individuals to receive early praise. Taking advantage of the school holiday, he visited the Zhou family’s residence to accompany Mili and Liao Ning. His plan was to bring the two cubs to the hotel for breakfast.
“Ping Ye, hurry up!” Mili disembarked from the flying car and dashed into the hotel cafeteria with Liao Nai, excitedly beckoning Ping Ye from the entrance.
Upon seeing Mili’s joyful expression, Ping Ye playfully remarked, “How impolite! You should address me as ‘brother’!”
“No, you’re mistaken. If you’re going to call him ‘Uncle,’ then call him ‘Uncle’ the wolf cub interjected, waiting for Ping Ye to approach before continuing, “Considering your age is similar to Uncle Zhou Ling’s, it’s only appropriate to address you as ‘Uncle.”‘
Ping Ye felt a twinge of pain in his heart. Was he really that old?
Mili observed Ping Ye’s frozen smile and couldn’t help but burst into laughter. In the past, Ping Ye used to engage in playful banter with her at the Zhou family’s residence. Now that Ping Ye found himself on the receiving end, Mili found it immensely amusing.
Deciding to change the subject, Ping Ye inquired, “I wonder what kind of breakfast the hotel offers?”
Understanding Ping Ye’s intention to divert the conversation, the wolf cub followed suit, responding, “Aunt mentioned that they serve rice noodles.”
Ping Ye nodded in agreement. His mother had watched Liao Ning’s farm live-stream and learned how to make bridge noodles. Since then, their family had developed a fondness for this dish. “Let’s not waste any time. We should go quickly. ”
The hotel’s rice noodles, which were introduced that day, came as a set meal with five side dishes. Since there were three people—Ping Ye and the two cubs
—aside from Ping Ye’s complimentary voucher, he paid a total of 219 star coins.
“It’s definitely worth it.” Ping Ye carefully carried three servings of rice noodles across the bridge to the dining table. “Hurry up and try them. I want to see if they taste as good as what Mom usually makes.”
Ever since Ping Ye’s mother learned various ancient cultural delicacies from Liao Ning, it was always Ping Ye who struggled in the kitchen. His mother even jokingly remarked that he might not find a girlfriend in the future if he couldn’t master the art of cooking such delicacies. This teasing infuriated Ping Ye, leaving him with no choice but to silently endure his mother’s playful lectures.
As Ping Ye took a sip of the fragrant and rich hot soup, a comforting warmth enveloped him. A peculiar sense of satisfaction emanated from his stomach.
The aroma of the tender rice noodles filled his mouth, instantly reminding Ping Ye of his mother’s words—she often said that the aroma was the soul of the rice noodles. He couldn’t help but find it unbelievable and incredibly delicious!
“It’s a shame that Colonel Zhou is away on a mission at the border. If he knew he missed out on such a delightful breakfast, he would undoubtedly feel regretful,” Ping Ye remarked, his thoughts drifting to Zhou Ling, who was currently on a mission. At this moment, he could only rely on nutritional supplements, bitter as they may be.
“I miss my uncle. He left without spending much time with me,” Mili expressed, her sadness momentarily overshadowing the enjoyment of the food.
Upon noticing Mili’s melancholy, the wolf cub disregarded its rice noodles and swiftly comforted her. “I’ll be here for you. Uncle Zhou Ling will return once he completes his mission. Didn’t he mention that he would take a break at home after this assignment? Mili, when he comes back, he’ll be able to spend quality time with you.”
Mili found solace in her friend’s comforting words and nodded. “I understand. Nai Nai, thank you for always being there for me. I’m truly happy to have you by my side!”
The wolf cub touched the back of his head in embarrassment. He knew that Mili was referring to the time when he was on Star Web until now.. How could he not thank Mili for accompanying him through those dark times as well?
