Chapter 281 Cosmeceuticals

"Is it possible?" Machida Sonoko asked in surprise.

"Then the ramen is ready. I remember that there are two bags of ramen that I bought not long ago in the kitchen cabinet above the kitchen counter. You can cook that."

"Cook a bag?" Qin Heqing got up and asked as he walked to the kitchen.

"One bag is enough for me." Machida Sonoko said as she entered the room and took off her coat. Then he threw himself on the sofa, took the remote control, fiddled with the TV channels in a bored manner, and chatted casually, "Is the game over there?"

"kindness."

"How's the result?"

"I won the men's individual event."

"You, champion? Are you kidding?" Machida Sonoko was stunned, turned 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 Yulong Banner Conference.

"Why can't I be the champion?" Qin Heqing asked angrily.

"You haven't touched Suzhen for more than a year, and you haven't had any formal kendo practice, have you? With your junior high school level, how could you rank among the top three Jade Dragon Banners even in high school competitions?" Winning the championship at the tournament...couldn’t it be because of the referee’s eyesight?”

"Don't forget, I'm a priest!" Qin Heqing said angrily.

"What does that matter? You can't cheat in the competition and use non-kendo power to compete? That's an immoral behavior. He Qing, you shouldn't behave like a villain, right?"

"...No." Qin Heqing said silently, sighing helplessly.

"Then how did you win the championship?" Sonoko Machida asked curiously.

"Of course it's because I'm a priest..."

"ha?"

"Because I am a priest, I can see ghosts and fight with demons and ghosts, so even though I haven't touched Suzhen for more than a year, and I haven't practiced formal kendo-style exercises, my strength has not declined because of this, but because of a large number of The actual combat experience has made my kendo skills significantly improved compared to junior high school. Coupled with the strengthening of physical fitness brought about by spiritual power... I am no longer what I used to be. Naturally, I have enough strength and strength. Confidently defeat high school students from all over the country and become the champion among them." Qin Heqing said proudly.

"So that's the case, then you are really good. Did you tell Xiao Shiyu?" Machida Sonoko was stunned, and then said with a teasing smile on his face.

"Why should I tell her about me?" Qin Heqing said speechlessly.

"Because you two are not good friends." Machida Sonoko said with a smirk.

"How can you tell that we are good friends?"

"If it wasn't for 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, you can actually make Xiao Shiyu, who has always been stubborn, make that kind of change. Heqing, your talent in a certain area is really amazing... you can even get it from a certain little guy without knowing it. Xiao Shiyu turned over, which made me look at you with admiration."

"..." Qin Heqing had nothing to say about this, so he had to stir the noodles in the pot with his chopsticks to distract himself, so as not to be carried away by the rhythm of Machida Sonoko and talk to her about the relationship between himself and Kasumigaoka Shiu gossip.

"Hey, tell me, tell me..." Seeing Qin Heqing ignoring her, Machida Sonoko said childishly again.

"The meal is almost ready." Qin Heqing said unmoved.

"Tch, I don't even satisfy my wish. It's a pity that I still run around because of your affairs. I'm such a white-eyed wolf. I helped you for nothing." Machida Sonoko snorted softly, pretending that I am very disappointed He muttered with an angry expression.

This behavior of disregarding identity is also gone.

"If I were a white-eyed wolf, what are you? A big bad wolf?" Qin Heqing curled his lips and replied speechlessly.

...

After ten minutes like this, the ramen is cooked. Qin Heqing turned off the fire, put the noodles in the pot into two bowls, put them on wooden trays, and put them on the coffee table in the living room.

"Come and eat."

"Thank you. I'm starting." Sonoko Machida took the ramen, picked up the chopsticks, muttered politely, then picked up the ramen in the bowl and put it into her mouth.

"Hoo, hoo..."

"Ha... It's a happy life to be able to go home and eat a bowl of hot ramen after a hard day." Sonoko Machida exclaimed in a very gentle way.

"By the way, why did you come back so late today?" Qin Heqing didn't blame Machida Yuanzi, but asked about her itinerary for today.

"Isn't this the beginning of the month? There are a lot of things to do to count the sales of books by various authors under the library, as well as the typesetting and approval of new books and the promotion of their listings. I've been busy until now, and I'm used to it."

"Shi Yu's new work is about to be published?" Qin Heqing asked.

"Shiwa?" Machida Sonoko paused for a while, looked at him with a smirk and moved.

It's a pity that Qin Heqing can hold back, so Machida Sonoko honestly told the situation of Xiazhiqiu after making a fuss.

"That's right. Her new book still has some problems, and it is undergoing final revision. It is estimated that it will not be available for sale until mid-August or the end of August at the earliest."

"How is the quality of the new book? Is it good?"

"It's very interesting. It maintains her usual pure love style and delicate writing style, and adds strange ghost elements. It feels like it should be a big hit and make her status more stable."

"That's good."

"By the way, how far has your relationship progressed?" Seeing Qin Heqing's silence, Machida Sonoko couldn't help asking curiously, "Have you hugged or kissed, or have you already done it?"

"It's really...you can't stop your mouth even if you eat." Qin Heqing said helplessly.

Then he quickly picked up two mouthfuls of ramen noodles, ate the food in the bowl, and drank the soup, then stood up and went back to the kitchen, washed the bowls and chopsticks, and went to the bathroom to help Machida Sonoko put up the bath water.

"By the way, the procedures are in the first drawer next to the bed in my bedroom, take it out and have a look yourself." At this time, Machida Sonoko, who was still struggling with ramen, shouted at him.

"Understood." Qin Heqing responded, turned into the bedroom to find the bedside table, opened the top drawer, and took out the folders inside.

"Cosmeceuticals?" Qin Heqing asked after a while, returning to the living room with the documents.

"Well. 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, if you follow the formal pharmaceutical approval process, you can't do it without enough clinical data. In terms of cosmetics, your pharmaceutical It doesn't quite meet the requirements, so I can only make a compromise and pass the review with cosmetics."

"OK?"

"It's pretty good. Anyway, I don't plan on a large-scale public sale, so let's do it." Qin Heqing nodded, put the documents away, put them in the compartment under the coffee table, sat back on the sofa, and looked boredly again TV show.
