Relieved to know she wouldn't have to worry about being forced into blind dates for the next few years, Ni Bingyan hung up the phone in high spirits. She tied up her hair and did an hour of yoga.
She had another red carpet event coming up soon and planned to go all out in a qipao. She wanted to exude a sense of strength without losing her feminine grace.
After her workout and shower, Ni Bingyan found herself with nothing to do, so she grabbed her gear and went to the lake to catch a few crucian carp. She planned to make a cold-dressed carp salad for dinner to whet her appetite.
As a southerner living in the north, she found the dry climate often made her feel overheated. She didn't dare eat too many spicy peppers, but if she went too long without them, she'd lose her appetite.
In times like these, fresh chili peppers were much more refreshing than dried ones.
