Chapter 283: Cosmeceuticals
"Is that okay?" Machida Enko was pleasantly surprised.
"Then the ramen is ready. I remember there were two bags of ramen that I bought a while ago in the kitchen cabinet above the counter, so you can cook that. ”
"Cook a bag?" Qin Heqing got up and asked as he walked to the kitchen.
"I'll have enough in one bag." Machida Enko said as she entered the house and took off her coat. Then he threw himself on the couch, took the remote control, and fiddled with the TV channel boringly, while casually chatting, "Is your game over there?" ”
"Yes."
"How's the result?"
"I won the men's individual event."
"You, Champion? Not kidding, right? Machida Yuanzi was stunned, and turned his head to look at Qin Heqing, who was busy in the kitchen, and said in surprise.
Obviously, it was incredible that he could win the individual event championship at the Jade Dragon Banner Conference.
"Why can't I be a champion?" Qin Heqing asked angrily.
"You haven't met Su Zhen for more than a year, and you haven't practiced formal kendo, right? With the level of your country's middle school students, how can you win the championship in the Jade Dragon Banner Conference, which ranks among the top three in gold content even in high school competitions...... Could it be that the referee has a problem with his eyes? ”
"Don't forget, I'm a priest!" Qin He said unrefreshingly.
"So what does it matter? You can't cheat in a match and use non-kendo power to compete, right? That's an immoral act, and Heqing shouldn't do that kind of villainous behavior, right? ”
“…… No. Qin Heqing was silent, sighed and said helplessly.
"And how did you get the title?" Machida Enko said curiously.
"Naturally, it's because I'm a priest......"
"Huh?"
"Because I'm a priest, I can see ghosts and fight demons and monsters, so even if I haven't touched Su Zhen for more than a year and haven't practiced formal kendo form, my strength has not decreased because of this, but because of a lot of actual combat experience, my kendo skills have improved significantly compared to when I was in junior high school. This is coupled with the strengthening of physical fitness brought about by spiritual power...... I am no longer what I used to be, and naturally I have enough strength and confidence to defeat high school students from all walks of life across the country and become one of the champions. Qin Heqing said proudly.
"I see, then you're really good. Did you tell Xiao Shiyu? Machida Yuanzi was stunned, and then laughed with a sneering face.
"Why should I tell her about it?" Qin Heqing said speechlessly.
"Because aren't you two good friends?" Machida Yuanko smirked.
"Where do you see we're good friends?"
"If it's not a good friend, why would Xiao Shiyu set the protagonist of the new book as a high school student with the ability to see ghosts, and add the existence of ghosts in the background of the new book?" After a pause, he continued meaningfully, "But then again, it is possible to make Xiao Shiyu, who has always been stubborn, make that kind of change, and Qing You are really talented in a certain aspect...... Unknowingly, I brought Xiao Shiyu over from a certain little guy, which made me look at you with admiration. ”
"......" Qin Heqing was speechless about this, so he had to stir the chopsticks to scatter the noodles in the pot to distract himself, so as not to be taken away by the rhythm of Machida Yuanzi and talk to her about the gossip between himself and Kasumigaoka Shiyu.
"Na, tell me, tell me......" Seeing that Qin Heqing ignored himself, Machida Yuanzi said quite childishly.
"Dinner is almost ready." Qin Heqing was unmoved.
"Cut, even this wish doesn't satisfy me, I still run around for your business, what a little white-eyed wolf, I helped you in vain." Machida Yuanko snorted lightly and muttered with a look of disappointment and anger.
This kind of behavior without regard for identity is no one.
"If I were a white-eyed wolf, what would you be? Big bad wolf? Qin Heqing pursed his lips and replied speechlessly.
……
After about ten minutes, the ramen noodles are cooked. Qin Heqing closed the fire, picked the noodles in the pot into two bowls, held them on a wooden plate, and brought them to the coffee table in the living room.
"Let's eat."
"Thank you. I got started. Machida Enko took the ramen, picked up the chopsticks, and after a ceremonial repetition, picked up the ramen from the bowl and put it in his mouth.
"Purr, purr......"
"Hah...... It's a blessing to be able to come home and eat a bowl of hot ramen after a hard day. Machida Yuanzi sighed with a long sigh.
"By the way, why did you come back so late today?" Qin Heqing didn't take the stubble of Machida Yuanzi, but asked about her itinerary today.
"Isn't this the beginning of the month, to count the sales of books by various authors under the library, as well as the approval of new book typesetting and listing promotion, there are a lot of things, and I have been busy until now, and I am used to it."
"Shiyu's new work is about to be released?" Qin Heqing asked.
"Shiyu?" Machida Yuanzi made a move to eat, and looked at him with a wicked smile.
It's a pity that Qin Heqing is a person who can hold back, so after being bored, Machida Yuanzi still honestly told the situation of Kasumigaoka.
"That's not true. Her new book is still in the process of being put to the fore and will not be available until mid-August or late August at the earliest. ”
"What about the quality of the new book? Is it good-looking? ”
"It's very interesting, maintaining her usual pure love style and delicate writing, coupled with bizarre ghost elements, it feels like it should be a big hit, making her position more stable."
"That's good."
"Anyway, how far has your relationship progressed?" Seeing Qin Heqing's voice, Machida Yuanzi couldn't stop being curious, "Is there a hug or a kiss, or have you already done it?" ”
"Really...... You can't eat anything. Qin Heqing said helplessly.
Then he hurriedly picked two mouthfuls of ramen, ate the food in the bowl, drank the soup, got up and went back to the kitchen, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and went to the bathroom to help Machida Enko put away the bath water.
"By the way, the formalities are in the first drawer at the head of the bed in my bedroom, you can take it out and look at it yourself." At this time, Machida Enko, who was still struggling with ramen, shouted at him.
"Got it." Qin Heqing responded, turned into the bedroom to find the bedside table, opened the top drawer, and took out the folders placed inside.
"Cosmeceuticals?" After a while, Qin Heqing took the documents and returned to the living room.
"Yes. The lawyer said that if you want to get the production approval and sales procedures as soon as possible, you can only take the cosmeceutical route, otherwise according to the approval process of regular drugs, there is not enough clinical data to do it. In terms of cosmetics, your medicine doesn't quite meet the requirements, so you can only compromise and pass the review with cosmetics. ”
"Is that okay?"
"It's good. I'm not going to make a big public sale anyway, so be it. Qin Heqing nodded, put the documents away, put them in the compartment under the coffee table, sat back on the sofa, and watched the TV show boringly again.
