629: Nine-turn large intestine

“Are there any other suspected Persons of Destiny?”

Facing her president’s repeated inquiry, Xiaotao hesitated for a moment, her face full of conflict. (ー`´ー)

Then, she uttered a name that made Su Qingge’s pupils constrict… “Yes, God of Song [L], also known as Mr. Lin.”

“Mr. Lin is a musical prodigy; every one of his songs is like something from another era, enough to be passed down through the ages.”

“But according to intelligence, Mr. Lin never systematically studied music theory or skills from childhood.”

“Yet, during this period, he’s been like a self-taught genius, continuously creating popular hit songs, which is truly… unbelievable…”

“…”

Because Lin Xuan hadn’t put too much effort into secrecy,

Xiaotao spent some time and obtained the offline identity of God of Song [L] from a certain chuunibyou young lady of the Chen family.

When she first learned that Lin Xuan was [L], Xiaotao couldn’t have been more surprised and delighted. (ΩДΩ)

As a loyal fan of [L], she had the blissful feeling of her idol entering reality and successfully chasing her star.

At the same time, her impression of Lin Xuan greatly improved; she no longer thought of him as a loser who was “a toad wanting to eat swan meat.”

After all, talent is everything.

Lin Xuan, possessing immense talent, was naturally far superior to those “flirtatious” pretty boys… (This part seems to be an internal thought or a reference to external content like fan gatherings, which is not directly translatable as part of the narrative flow, so it's omitted as per the instruction to only translate the novel text.)

That being said,

Xiaotao also discovered some inexplicable doubts about Lin Xuan.

He had clearly never been exposed to musical knowledge.

So, how did he suddenly become enlightened overnight and write so many well-known, heartwarming hit songs?

This couldn’t simply be brushed off as talent or genius.

Even if you are a musical genius, someone who hasn’t even learned basic music theory like “do, re, mi, fa, sol” couldn’t possibly be self-taught and compose songs with such ups and downs.

Let alone making every single one a hit.

Even more, each song had a distinct style, giving a sense of male and female, old and young, as if from different singers, creating a feeling of incongruity.

Yet, all the songs were created by one person, which made it very strange.

And this is also what led Xiaotao, after learning about the Person of Destiny, to immediately associate it with Lin Xuan, the talented God of Song [L] who had risen rapidly in a short period… Faced with Xiaotao’s well-reasoned and logical analysis,

a complex look flashed in Su Qingge’s eyes.

Through their time together, she had actually realized Lin Xuan’s extraordinary qualities and could sense that he had “secrets.”

However, if he didn’t proactively say anything, she wouldn’t proactively ask.

After all, even as a couple, both parties are different individuals and need some private space.

Unilaterally digging for answers would only make their relationship tense and rigid, eventually leading them to drift apart… “Didn’t you say that Persons of Destiny are born with their abilities?”

“If A Xuan had possessed such musical talent from a young age, how could he have been ordinary and obscure for so many years? He would have been famous throughout China long ago.”

“So, the conclusion is that A Xuan must be exceptionally gifted and had privately studied music theory, accumulating knowledge and having a sudden epiphany.”

“That’s how, with the right timing, location, and people, he soared to great heights.”

“Yes, that’s how it is, it must be…”

“…”

Su Qingge instinctively avoided and denied it, unwilling to admit that Lin Xuan was connected to the so-called Person of Destiny.

If she had a choice, she would rather A Xuan live a simple, happy life, free from worries about food and clothing.

Rather than being dragged into various disputes and constantly living in fear.

However, despite what she said, Su Qingge still kept an eye out and had already begun to consider Lin Xuan’s security issues… Beside her, Xiaotao looked at Su Qingge, who was still trying to justify herself, with a strange expression.

She really wanted to say that it was precisely because Lin Xuan was originally ordinary but suddenly became famous that it seemed strange… As the saying goes:

When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy.

However, as a clever subordinate, her superior had already clearly shown an attitude of “I don’t want what you think, I want what I think.”

She naturally had to be tactful and move on from this topic.

Soon, Xiaotao picked out a few other individuals she found quite suspicious… “President, this Fat Man is named Yu Tao.”

“He’s a big internet celebrity these days, known as the ‘God of Cookery’.”

“On the ‘Top Chef’ variety show, he shocked the judges and audience with his original signature dish, ‘Nine-Turned Large Intestine,’ rising to fame and winning the championship.”

“After that, he participated in many consecutive competitions, always astounding everyone with his incredible culinary skills.”

… “The main reason I noticed him is that he’s too flamboyant.”

“He often brags online about being a rare culinary genius, a once-in-a-thousand-years talent, claiming that any ingredient turns into a peerless delicacy in his hands.”

“I investigated his background; he comes from an ordinary small county town, his parents are factory workers, his family is poor, and he never learned any relevant cooking knowledge.”

“Such an ordinary person suddenly mastering various culinary skills, with every dish he makes being perfect in color, aroma, and taste, is simply unscientific!!!”

“…”

Gourmet food, huh?

Gulp (¯﹃¯)~~~~

Hearing Xiaotao describe how fragrant and delicious the food made by that person was~~~~

Su Qingge suddenly recalled the dishes A Xuan made, unconsciously swallowed, and felt her appetite stirred.

She hadn’t tasted the “Nine-Turned Large Intestine” Xiaotao mentioned, but she firmly believed that no one made food more delicious than A Xuan… This was beyond doubt!!!

However, the chef Xiaotao mentioned clearly also had a big problem.

He never learned any cooking-related knowledge, yet suddenly became the “God of Cookery” praised by everyone???

She was 100% absolutely sure that there was something fishy going on.

When she told Xiaotao this opinion and asked her to keep a close eye on this “God of Cookery,” and if necessary, to directly kidnap him for questioning… Xiaotao’s mouth twitched, and her expression grew even stranger. →_→

Her president seemed… appeared… to be a bit too hypocritical… The experiences of God of Song and God of Cookery were both that they were unremarkable and ordinary in the first half of their lives.

Then suddenly one day, they soared to great heights, became incredibly talented, and shone brightly.

In the same situation, the double standard in the demon president’s mouth was simply too obvious, wasn’t it… One was a heaven-sent genius, accumulating knowledge and having a sudden epiphany.

The other was a useless person who made a comeback, indicating 100% something fishy, and this person must not be allowed to remain.

Alright, alright, so this is how you play?!

I’m truly done with you—

Of course, while she complained internally, Xiaotao didn’t dare to say these words out loud, only nodding repeatedly in agreement.

And as Su Qingge and the other person were talking!

Lin Xuan was humming a tune, happily returning to the hospital… Is Nine-Turned Large Intestine delicious? ლ(´ڡ`ლ) I haven’t tried it, has anyone experienced it and can share?
