Chapter 994
After making her post, Ariana kept an eye on her phone, awaiting a response. However, no one seemed to accept the task for some time.
Then, suddenly, a notification popped up on her phone. Upon closer inspection, she saw it was a video call request from the affluent online friend who had recently developed an interest in making food for his daughter.
Ariana was slightly taken aback. Receiving a video call at such a late hour was unexpected. She was about to decline the call when it ended from the other side.
Moments later, a text message arrived.
“Sorry, | pressed the wrong button.”
Ariana responded, “It’s fine.”
Feeling restless and somewhat curious due to her own emotional turmoil, she inquired, “Why are you awake at this hour?” Soon enough, another message popped up.
“Insomnia. I’m researching baby food.”
This was followed by a photo showing a pile of ingredients. Another message quickly appeared.
“How do you make osmanthus milk jelly?”
Ariana paused to think before starting to type out the recipe.
But as she did so, she realized that mere words might not accurately convey the nuances of the dish. The proportions of the ingredients were key, and it was difficult to get them right based solely on a written recipe.

Ariana suspected that he might not be an experienced cook. Following the recipe to the letter could lead to a disappointing result.
So she deleted her original message and typed anew. “Can we video chat? I'll show you how to make it.”
Almost immediately, a new video call request appeared on her screen.
When Ariana accepted the call, she felt a bit awkward. It was her first time interacting with an online friend via video, and she wasn’t sure what to say initially.
Even though the camera on the other side only showed the view from the rear lens, Ariana still felt self-conscious. After a brief moment of silence, she started explaining the recipe step-by-step.
The other person remained quiet, simply following her instructions.
Ariana noticed that the camera angle shifted occasionally, and she found herself momentarily distracted by the man’s attractive hand.
But the camera quickly returned its focus to the ingredients.
