Su Meihua was surprised that she was so trusting and was amused by her adorable appearance.

"Of course it's fake. However, it's because you and Commander Lu love each other so much that you can't help but worry. You'll feel much better if you focus your attention on other things and keep yourself busy."

Even though Yu Yao was full of worries, she couldn't help but laugh after Su Meihua teased her like that. "I actually thought I had this disease. Sister-in-law Meihua, I'm planning to make rice noodle rolls in a little while. I'll bring some over to you and Xiaojun when I'm done, so you don't need to make breakfast."

“That’s great! I happen to have some minced meat and wood ear mushrooms at home, which are perfect for making rice noodle roll filling. I’ll go get them.”

Su Meihua carried the basket into the house, while Yu Yao took an extra egg and went back inside.

Rice noodle rolls are a popular breakfast in Guangdong province. They are not difficult to make, but they are time-consuming because each roll needs to be steamed individually.

It's perfect for distracting yourself and killing time.

The most important part of making rice noodle rolls is preparing the rice batter, which requires glutinous rice flour, sweet potato starch, and wheat starch. Since Yu Yao didn't have wheat starch at home, she used tapioca starch instead.

Tapioca starch is more elastic, resulting in chewier and more translucent rice noodle rolls. However, it shouldn't be added in too much, otherwise the rolls will become too firm and chewy, losing their soft and glutinous texture.

Just then, a slight noise came from outside, like someone accidentally kicking over a broom.

Yu Yao thought it was Su Meihua who had come, but when she went out to check, there was no one there.

Or is it just my imagination?

Just as Yu Yao was about to turn away, her gaze fell on the courtyard, and her expression froze.

There were unfamiliar footprints in the courtyard that had just been watered.

Judging by the size, it's a man's footprint.
