"It's quite interesting," the Master chuckled while looking at Xia Chuyi.
Xia Chuyi felt a bit embarrassed; she had called out without thinking upon seeing the Master and became a bit excited.
She steadied herself and earnestly told the Master, "I sincerely want to become your disciple."
This meant she was determined to stick with them, so calling her 'Master' in advance was not inappropriate.
The Master smiled and said, "You're an interesting child, I like you."
"But I heard from Old Guan that you are a student at Kyoto University? Why are you thinking about learning a craft?"
"A student at Kyoto University should have better prospects, right, learning a craft? Do you want to be a chef?"
The Master's smile was warm, yet her blunt question was sharp.
Honestly, Xia Chuyi was much more nervous facing the Master than facing her husband.
Her husband, although experienced and broad-minded, was straightforward and didn't beat around the bush.
