Chapter 308 - You are exactly like him!

Li Xue looked at the dish she had prepared. The presentation she has put forward was way different from the one she has looked in the picture. But what she has made was totally her perception. The way she has understood the meaning behind the dish.

The file mentioned that Our Memories' Delight was created to remember one's great memories from their past. It stated that with every bite or scoop of the dessert, it will make people remember all their achievements and sacrifices from their past. And Li Xue has tried her best to come out with all her good thoughts regarding it.

When she has said earlier that one's creativity could never be copied; it was not just her words. She, herself has believed it in every phase of her life.

She was all sure that even if she would have got the recipe from the Chef's Library. She would not have been able to bring the same taste out because that was not something that came out from her thoughts. She knew that even if she followed the steps given to prepare the dish, the taste would have differed greatly.

"Ma'am, here is your requested order. Hope you would like the dish" Li Xue said as she presented the plate in front of the lady. Since the time was a little past the evening, not many customers were around. Just a few were sitting, enjoying their time at the place with few staffs attending to their wishes.

The lady looked at the dish, as her brows got a little raised. Of course, Li Xue understood the reason behind her such reaction. "I would not try to make up twisted talks with you, Ma'am. Since you already know our lack of knowledge regarding the dish I can only say that the dish I have presented to you represents my thoughts about the dish, 'Our Memories' Delight'."

Li Xue said, pausing in her words. Her gaze trailing to look at the dish and then back at the lady. "I have tried my best to connect my thoughts with the inspiration of the dish our senior chef has come up with in the past. But if I have succeeded in doing so or not is something only you could help me know. So please!" she added on as she gestured to her to try the dish and let her know the feedback better.

Ning Meiling who was standing on the side could only sneer internally at her words. She has already reported everything to Director Huo in a way where the one who would be blamed for everything will ultimately be Li Xue. She only has to wait and see the things unfold according to her.

The woman did not comment on Li Xue's words. She just smiled at Li Xue as she said, "Quite admirable! Even in your nervousness, your stance is full of confidence. That's really impressive."

Li Xue was a little confused. It was the second time when the lady was complimenting her on the same day. And both comments were two different things of her character. Was this woman such a keen eye that she was continuously reading her character?

She would have been grateful for her compliments if only she could also unravel any layer of her mystery. But it seemed like the woman was guarding all her mysteries with an invincible shield, that was simply not yielding to any of her efforts.

But then suddenly some unknown familiarity struck her. It felt like she was almost there to guess it but right at the same moment she has again pulled away from it as the deep black eyes interrupted her thoughts.

"Please, Ma'am! Have a taste and let me know your thoughts about it" Li Xue repeated her words again and the woman nodded to her words.

Lifting the spoon up, she first broke the chocolate net of the top, then tasting the piece of it she said, "Umm that's soft and creamier. It must be representing the exterior cover people hold in front of others to hide their pain inside. Though everything looks so perfect, one can never see how many pierces one has suffered to bring on that fa?ade".

Li Xue looked at her. Was her thought so right because of her psychology major? If yes, then one can really say that her knowledge was really commendable.

Under the chocolate net, there was a bowl of chocolate inside which everything was kept. Without any say that must be the last thing to touch. The bowl was divided into different compartments, filled with various tastes of deliciousness. And at the bottom of the bowl was something round crispier looking almond, chocolate chip cookie.

No doubt the chef has put all her skillfulness and creativeness into it. The woman smiled as she took another scoop into her mouth, savouring the taste all perfectly. "Ummm … that has a tinge of the slightly sour taste of lemons with a texture of cheese. Lemon and cheese, both are associated with the feelings of health and vitality. Must be created for me to remember the time I was at the peak of my health".

The woman did not wait before picking another spoonful piece of another ball. "Strawberries, representing righteousness, goodness and virtue. Not a bad thought!" one after the other the scoops were lifted up and tasted signifying the memories of sensuality with the taste of pears, innocence with the tastes of peaches, abundance and freedom with the ripeness of gr.a.p.es and watermelon.

With her expressions, anyone can say that the woman was getting very impressed. Seeing her that way, Ning Meiling at the side was only losing her patience. This was not the way she has thought for the things to be turning. She had thought Li Xue to be losing but she was far – far away from the loss.

Realizing this, her hands got fisted at the side as her nails dug dip into her skin without any loss of blood from it.

But then suddenly everything got frozen as one last scoop touched her lips. "That's the joy of berries with ice cream. It's juicy and the flavour of its ripeness is still intact" As she said, the curl of her lips turned to give the hints of mockery. Her eyes went to gaze at Li Xue as she said, "Chef, I have not included any joyous memory to you. Are you sure that this dessert you have created with regard to my preferences?"

Li Xue smiled as she said, "Of course, Ma'am!"

"I never mentioned anything joyful in my list then …" The woman confronted with nonchalance but anyone can see the change in the air around her.

"Not mentioning something does not imply that it never happened. To enjoy the other memories one can never forget the joy he or she has come across. Joy is the only feeling that is bound to come in everyone's life. Joy is laced with both pain and achievement, then Ma'am I never thought it would be right to let you forget such an important memorable feeling of your life"

Li Xue explained all quietly, maintaining her air of calmness around. Mia at the side has already started to fear the loss as she saw the expressions of the woman customer turning stiff.

Ning Meiling was finally feeling the relief. But her relief was very short-lived as it already died down when heard a soft peal of laughter in the air.

"You are so similar to him. Or should I say just exactly like him?"
