《My Life or Your Memory》Chapter 14: Young Master's First Market Visit
Advertisement
Jiang Yingyue berkata tidak lebih saat dia memasuki Porsche hitam Han Qingshan. Tak satu pun dari mereka berbicara dalam perjalanan pulang. Sebaliknya, pria itu fokus pada mengemudi sambil sedikit tersenyum, merasa sangat senang dengan dirinya sendiri, dan Jiang Yingyue sibuk merenungkan apa yang harus dia buat untuk makan malam malam itu.
"Kau bisa berhenti di pasar alih-alih mengantarku pulang," katanya, suaranya terdengar menyenangkan di telinganya, suara yang tidak akan pernah bosan didengarnya.
"Kenapa pasar?" tanyanya bingung, dan Jiang Yingyue memandangnya dengan bingung, "Aku perlu berbelanja untuk makan malam malam ini, bagaimana lagi yang bisa kulakukan untuk memasak?" dia menjelaskan.
Dia mengira itu akan jelas, tetapi kemudian dia diingatkan bahwa pria di depannya bukanlah orang yang sederhana. Dia mungkin memiliki koki yang memenuhi setiap kebutuhannya dan memasak apa pun yang dia ingin makan. Bahan makanan mereka kemungkinan dikirim ke mansionnya, atau dia akan makan di luar rumah di restoran mewah setiap hari.
"Kamu bisa memasak?" Han Qingshan mengangkat alis terkejut ketika dia mendengar bahwa Jiang Fengmian sedang berbelanja untuk makan malam, dan ketika dia melihat dia menganggukkan kepalanya, dia terkejut.
Pria muda ini di sisinya seperti harta karun yang dipenuhi dengan kejutan yang menakjubkan.
Dia adalah siswa yang cerdas yang selalu mendapat beasiswa, dan sekarang dia tahu bahwa dia bahkan tahu cara memasak.
"Yah kalau kamu memasak, kenapa aku tidak menginap untuk makan malam?" Han Qingshan tiba-tiba bertanya, tetapi pertanyaannya membuat mata Jiang Yingyue melebar karena terkejut dan terkejut.
"Permisi, tuan muda terkasih, saya tinggal di rumah yang sangat kecil dengan orang tua saya yang pekerja keras. Seluruh rumah saya mungkin bahkan lebih kecil dari kamar Anda!"
"Aku tidak akan memandang rendahmu hanya karena itu," Han Qingshan menyeringai ketika dia mendengar kata-katanya, "Aku hanya ingin mencicipi masakanmu. Aku yakin itu akan lezat."
"Tentu saja enak, tapi juga sangat sederhana. Aku tidak bisa membuat orang terhormat sepertimu memakan masakanku!"

"Aku mudah senang."
"Tidak, sungguh, itu terlalu berlebihan."
"Aku akan membayar makanannya, kamu bisa membeli bahan apa saja yang kamu mau."
"Oh, tuan muda, apakah kamu merasa ingin makan lobster malam ini?"
Melihat perubahan perilaku yang tiba-tiba, bibir Han Qingshan sedikit bergerak. Dia tidak pernah berpikir bahwa Jiang Fengmian sangat sederhana untuk menyenangkan, penyebutan sederhana untuk membayar bahan-bahan membuatnya berubah pikiran begitu cepat.
Untungnya, Han Qingshan memiliki banyak uang sehingga dia tidak akan pernah kehabisan, jadi membayar bahan-bahan akan lebih murah daripada pergi ke restoran untuk makan.
"Kalau begitu, mari kita pergi ke pasar," Han Qingshan tidak akan memberi Jiang Fengmian kesempatan untuk mengubah pendapatnya dan langsung menuju ke pasar.
Ini adalah pertama kalinya Han Qingshan pergi ke pasar, dan dia dengan cepat diliputi oleh banyaknya kebisingan dan orang-orang.
Kios ada di mana-mana, orang-orang di kios memanggil, mencoba menjual dagangan mereka.
"Hei tampan, aku akan memberimu harga yang bagus jika kamu datang ke tokoku!" salah satu dari mereka berteriak ketika mereka melihat Jiang Yingyue dan Han Qingshan.
Orang-orang di jalan telah memperhatikan mereka cukup awal, melihat mereka berjalan di jalan membuat mereka semua merasa bersemangat. Semua wanita paruh baya tersenyum dan berusaha mendekat untuk melihat Han Qingshan, semua pakaiannya bermerek, dan dia tampaknya tidak cocok di pasar.
"Anak muda Jiang, ayo, aku punya sayuran segar, baru saja dipanen pagi ini!" seorang wanita kios berseru, wajahnya memancarkan kebahagiaan ketika dia melihat Jiang Yingyue datang ke kiosnya.
"Nenek Meng, terima kasih, aku perlu mengambil beberapa barang tambahan hari ini," katanya sambil menyeringai dan mengambil segunung sayuran dan buah-buahan.
Karena Han Qingshan mengatakan bahwa dia akan membayar makanan, maka dia akan membuat makanan lezat dengan banyak hidangan. Orang tuanya jarang makan makanan enak, jadi dia cukup senang.
Setelah membeli sayuran, dia mulai meratapi dengan suara keras, "Saya ingin membuat hidangan makanan laut, tapi kami tinggal jauh ke negara itu sehingga mendapatkan makanan laut sangat mahal dan sangat sulit ditemukan."

Melihat kekecewaan di wajah Jiang Fengmian, Han Qingshan merasa sedikit terkejut. Apakah benar-benar sulit mendapatkan makanan laut di sini? Dia sering makan makanan laut di restoran, tetapi ketika memikirkannya, dia menyadari bahwa itu memang berbeda untuk orang awam.
"Ayo kita pergi ke supermarket," usulnya. "Mereka seharusnya punya ikan segar."
Setelah mendengar Han Qingshan mengatakan ini, suasana hati Jiang Yingyue yang tertekan naik lagi, dan dia tidak bisa menahan senyum padanya. "Terima kasih!" dia berseru dengan gembira, suasana hatinya yang gembira menyebar ke Han Qingshan.
"Kamu yang memasak, jadi kamu harus diizinkan untuk memutuskan apa yang kita makan," dia menyeringai pada Jiang Fengmian yang tersenyum, dan tanpa sadar dia mengulurkan tangannya dan mengacak-acak rambutnya.
Jiang Yingyue terkejut dan sedikit khawatir, tetapi setelah mengingat bahwa kepalanya sama apakah dia seorang wanita atau pria, dia dengan cepat santai lagi, dan hanya cemberut sedikit, tetapi jauh di lubuk hatinya dia merasakan kehangatan.
Han Qingshan menarik tangannya, tetapi dia terkejut mengetahui bahwa rambutnya lembut seperti sutra. Dia benar-benar ingin menyisir rambutnya dan merasakan kelembutan itu lagi, tetapi dia menahannya. Mereka baru saja menjadi teman, dan tidak pantas menyentuhnya terlalu banyak.
Dia juga telah melihat kilatan panik di mata Jiang Fengmian ketika dia disentuh, jadi dia tidak bisa tidak bertanya-tanya seperti apa masa lalu pemuda ini bersembunyi, dan apa yang terjadi padanya yang membuatnya begitu berhati-hati terhadap orang lain.
Bersama-sama, mereka kembali ke mobil, hanya untuk menemukan bahwa banyak orang berkerumun di sekitarnya, mengaguminya. Baik cewek dan cowok sudah berkumpul berharap bisa melihat pemilik mobil.
"Lihat, lihat, itu dua pemuda tampan itu, mereka pasti pemilik mobil," bisik seseorang ketika mereka berjalan maju.

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
