Chapter 39 Old Man Cooking Class

Eli's words gave Mingnuo a great sense of crisis. After much deliberation, he decided to contact his brother. Just seconds after the call was made, Zelphis quickly answered his call request, "Lorrian?"

Ming Nuo: "Brother, are you busy now?"

At the military meeting, Zelphis raised his hand slightly to pause the meeting. The lieutenant general who was speaking immediately stopped his report. Zelphis walked outside the meeting room and said to Mingnuo, "I'm not busy."

Ming Nuo then slowly told his brother what Eli had told him. "...Grandpa's urging for marriage is so embarrassing. And Eli has no such intentions. It's Grandpa who's pushing him. Brother, do you want to talk to Grandpa about this?"

Zelphis lowered his eyelids to hide the expression in his eyes, and his slender fingers tapped slowly on the windowsill. After Mingnuo's reminder, Zelphis remembered that he had met Eli once before.

When the old patriarch adopted Eli, he specially brought him to meet him. At that time, their relationship had fallen below zero, but the old patriarch still insisted that he come to meet Eli.

Zelphis didn't quite understand the old patriarch's behavior at the time. It was as puzzling that this old man would be so kind as to take the initiative to adopt a child, just as it was puzzling that Achir would be so friendly and respectful to Birdwin. At the same time, he deeply suspected that there was a conspiracy hidden in it.

It seemed like the outcome was just as he expected. Zelphis wasn't surprised at all, which was consistent with the old man's usual character.

If it weren't for his grandfather's identity, Zelphis would have wanted to throw him out of Ephi Planet. After all, the old man was really an eyesore and loved to stir up trouble.

"Well, I'll send someone to talk to him," Zelphis instructed Mingnuo. "Don't call that old man grandpa. He doesn't deserve it. If they come to bother you again, tell your aunt. She'll take care of it."

Regarding the matter of the old man of the Flynn family, Zelphis and Mingno are both juniors, so the best option is to let Dilina handle it.

Ming Nuo was surprised that his brother also called the other person "old thing". It seemed that his brother really hated his grandfather. He nodded and agreed.

Then Zelphis asked him how his life was at school these days. Mingnuo talked to him about his own life and shared with him some interesting things that happened at school recently.

Listening to Mingnuo's enthusiastic and cheerful voice, Zelphis' eyes gradually filled with smiles, and he listened quietly to his brother's campus life. Although most of the interesting things Mingnuo shared had been told to him before, he still listened to Mingnuo patiently.

The two brothers chatted for half an hour before Mingnuo reluctantly hung up the phone, and Zelphis went back to the meeting.

Ming Nuo held his chin with his hand and couldn't help but think about what kind of person his grandfather was. It was bad enough that his brother hated him, but his aunt, as his biological daughter, also disliked him extremely. This showed that his grandfather was indeed a bad person.

Mingnuo was thinking while chewing the biscuits that Eli brought him. The biscuits were crispy and he couldn't stop eating one after another.

"Woo woo." Seeing Mingnuo eating, Mianhua anxiously circled around his feet, put his front paws on his knees, and looked at the cookies on the plate with eager eyes.

Mingnuo fed it a piece, and Cotton quickly finished it, waiting for the next piece to be fed.

"You can only eat so much." Mingnuo pushed the plate to the inside of the table and pointed at Cotton's little nose and told him, "There's some left for Sedwick and the others. If you finish them all, what will they eat? You can't be a selfish Cotton, understand?"

Cotton drooped his head in frustration, whimpered twice, and pulled Mingnuo's hand to let him touch his belly, "Woo woo."

"Still hungry?" Ming Nuo understood what he meant and stood up to get a can of pet food for it. He tore open the lid and placed it in front of Cotton. He watched it eagerly devour the food and patted its head. "You've been eating a lot more recently, but why haven't you gained weight?"

It's just that its size is obviously bigger.

After eating the can, Cotton snuggled into Mingnuo's arms and acted coquettishly. Mingnuo felt soft in his heart and held it in his arms.

Half an hour later, Sedwick and the others returned to the dormitory after class. Ming Nuo heard the sound of the door opening and immediately turned around to look, "Welcome back!"

The amount of exercise in this class was too much, and Sedwick's clothes were obviously soaked with sweat. He didn't approach Ming Nuo, but picked up his change of clothes and said, "I'm going to take a shower first."

Ming Nuo nodded and looked at Field, who was lying on the chair like a dead dog, and Lin Yu, who said nothing but drank water silently, "What are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, when these words came out, Field and Lin Yu both looked at him dimly. Ming Nuo felt guilty for no reason under their gaze, and smiled with the corners of his lips pulled, "What's wrong?"

"Your second uncle came to give us special training today." Lin Yu said weakly, "It was absolutely terrible."

Field sighed: "The devil..."

When they heard that the special training instructor for this class was Achilles, every student in the Command Department was extremely excited. After all, it was a rare honor to receive guidance from His Highness Perseus.

But when the special training began, these enthusiastic students gradually became listless.

The high-intensity physical training and the oppressive feeling brought by top-level mental strength made them unable to faint even if they wanted to. They could only grit their teeth and complete each training. They also had to endure Achilles' comments of "too weak" and "how can you be so weak" from time to time.

"...Hasn't it occurred to him that we're not even on the same level as him?" Field recounted this painful experience to Mingnuo. "Alas...among us, only Sedwick has reached your second uncle's standard."

Ming Nuo had been out with his second uncle once, and the experience was so tragic that he couldn't bear to recall it, so he could empathize with them. He offered them some cookies and said, "Take a break. These are some cookies sent by Eli next door. They're delicious."

Field and Lin Yu each took a piece, tasted it, and nodded, saying it was delicious.

Lin Yu asked, "Why did your relationship with him suddenly become better?"

"He's not that bad to begin with." Ming Nuo said, "Besides, it was my grandpa's problem that led to him getting involved. There's no reason for me to hate him for that."

Field took another cookie and asked, "What did your grandpa do?"

The old patriarch of the Flynn family was previously a professor at Helios College. He had a very good reputation in the outside world, but everyone was from the same class, and they knew exactly what kind of person the other party was.

Lin Yu also looked at Ming Nuo curiously, and Ming Nuo told him about Eli coming to see him.

When Sedwick came out of the shower, he saw the three of them sitting together, gossiping.

Field felt sorry for Eli. "Just because you eat his food, you want to seduce His Majesty? This deal is not bad for his family."

Lin Yu nodded in agreement.

Mingnuo saw Sedwick coming out and handed the few remaining cookies to Sedwick. Sedwick picked up one and took a bite. "Not bad."

"Eli gave it to me. I think it's very good. The key is that he made it himself. He is really ingenious."

“…”

Sedwick ate the rest of the biscuit in silence.

The next morning, during cooking class, Eli saw a familiar tall figure as soon as he entered the classroom. He asked his classmates in surprise, "Why is he in our classroom?"

Although cooking class is an elective course that everyone can attend, the sudden appearance of Sedwick, the chief conductor of this year's conducting department, and even wearing an apron to decorate the cake still made others feel incredible.

The classmates also shook their heads in confusion.

In this cooking class, Sedwick took the class extremely seriously and listened to the teacher attentively, which moved the teacher to tears.

The teacher has always known that those who choose his course are just trying to get credits, so he doesn't make things difficult for these children and tries to give them the highest scores possible.

But now, there is finally a student who comes specifically to learn his knowledge. The teacher secretly made up his mind that he will do his best to teach him everything he knows!

Sedwick also had a pretty good talent for cooking, and the finished product made the teacher applaud. Eli couldn't help but go up and take a look at the little cake he made, and exclaimed, "That's amazing! Did you have any basic skills before?"

Sedwick glanced at him and said, "No, zero foundation."

"Then why do you want to learn how to make pastries?"

"My roommate likes it." Sedwick looked up at him, "Learn to make cookies for him. After all, you can't always eat food from outsiders."

Eli raised his eyebrows, sensing a hint of hostility, and squinted his eyes as he scrutinized Sedwick, who met his gaze coldly.

Oh~ he understood and came to provoke me.

Eli's brows relaxed, and he smiled softly at Sedwick, saying, "Yeah, there's no point in always eating the desserts of strangers. Unlike Lorian, he's very socially distant. He only accepts food if I bring it to him."

Seeing Sedwick's face turn darker than the bottom of a pot, he continued, "Lorian loves the pure milk cookies I make the most. Since you're roommates with him, would you like to try some? Maybe we can have something to talk about together."

Sedwick: "..."

This is more frustrating than fighting with him and losing.

Eli, however, deliberately acted reasonable and said generously, "If you want to learn, I can teach you. After all, as long as Lorian is happy with his meal, that's all that matters, right?"

This tone of grace, this vague feeling of green tea.

Sedwick gritted his teeth, picked up the finished cake, turned around and left, and could still hear Eli's soft voice pretending to be confused.

"Why did he leave? Is he mad at me? Did I say something I shouldn't have said, or did I accidentally offend him? But, but I just wanted to be friends with him..."

Sedwick felt his ears were contaminated, walked faster, and slammed the classroom door.

Eli lowered his head with a look of frustration and sadness, but in fact, he couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of his lips.

Just when Eli thought Sedwick would not come again, he still showed up for the cooking class the next day. This time, Sedwick talked to everyone, made the pastries, and left right after class.

At first, Mingnuo couldn't understand Sedwick's sudden love for cooking, but when he could eat different desserts every day, Mingnuo understood him.

Because Sedwick would bring back the small desserts he made in class to share with them, today Sedwick brought back green grape tiramisu.

Field took a bite and praised: "Delicious, delicious, buddy, your cooking skills are really getting better and better."

Ming Nuo ate the sweet little cake and said with emotion: "The food I make myself is really better than the food sold outside. Do you think I should learn how to cook? I don't know how to cook yet."

Lin Yu: "You can learn it and then do it yourself later."

Sedwick: "No, I can do it."

Lin Yu looked at him in surprise. Now he didn't even pretend?

Ming Nuo thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "That's right."

He has an aunt at home who is a great cook, so Mingnuo doesn't need to learn how to cook. If he wants to eat dessert occasionally, Sedwick can make it, so it seems that there is no need for him to learn how to cook.

A smile flashed across Sedwick's eyes. "Do you have classes tomorrow?"

"I don't have classes tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Let's go out and play?" Sedwick suggested. "There's an ice planet nearby where we can go skiing."

Field: "Yes! I agree!"

Lin Yu: "I can do that too."

"I'm sorry, I can't go." Ming Nuo said apologetically, "I have to go to Anka Garden for surgery tomorrow. I guess I'll need to recuperate for a while. You guys go first."

In an instant, the eyes of Sedwick and the other two were all on Mingnuo. Sedwick's breathing tightened, and he looked him up and down, "What's wrong with you?"

Ming Nuo smiled and said, "I'm fine. It's my eyes that haven't met the criteria for surgery before, but now they can be repaired."

Sedwick breathed a sigh of relief and asked him, "Do you need me to go with you?"

Ming Nuo shook his head, "No, my brother said he would go with me."

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's wait until you're better before we go skiing together. It's boring if we go alone."

If Mingnuo doesn't go, Sedwick certainly won't go either. I guess in the end it will be him and Field who go, and that would be really no fun at all.

Field also thought of this, "Yeah, yeah, when you get better, we'll go out and play together again."

Mingnuo felt warm in his heart as he looked at his friends who cared about him.

That afternoon, Uncle Archer and Uncle Seren came to pick him up. Archer was now the nightmare of the entire command department, and most of the students in Mingnuo's dormitory building were students from the command department.

The buzz-cut student who collided head-on with Aqir looked at him in shock. His body reacted faster than his brain. He stood up straight and said in a strong and resonant voice, "Your Highness!"

Aqir said "hmm" and hit his shoulder. "You're in good spirits. Keep it up."

"Yes! Your Highness!"

After Archer and Seren passed by him, the crew-haired student's spirit instantly dissipated, his legs became soft as noodles, and he knelt down instantly. His companions hurriedly helped him up.

"Is it really that serious?" His companion, who wasn't in command, found his reaction to seeing His Highness Archil quite amusing. "You see His Highness Lorian every day, and I've never seen you get so frightened."

The student with the crew cut spoke in a vicissitudes of life tone, "You don't understand. Although they are all His Highness Perseus, His Highness Lorian is really different from the other His Highnesses."

Seeing that his companions were still having trouble understanding, the crew-haired boy came up with an idea. "Oh, by the way, there's a joint confrontation exercise in a month, and students from other departments can also participate. It's going to be fun, want to join me?"

The companion didn't think much of it and said, "Okay."

The young man with a crew cut showed a strange smile. He had no other malicious thoughts, he just felt that everyone should get retribution.
