Chapter 007: Poke the stress relief artifact - bulging cheeks

The next morning, Qin Xue appeared in Fang's dessert shop in high spirits, followed by two maids carrying bamboo baskets.

Liu Zhiyan, who was preparing in the baking room, heard footsteps and looked outside. Seeing her making such a big fuss, his brows couldn't help but frown.

Before he could open his mouth to remind irrelevant people not to enter the bakery, Qin Xue had already stopped, asked the two maids to put down the baskets in their hands, and told them to leave.

Seeing that she was self-aware, Liu Zhiyan withdrew his gaze and checked her homework in a businesslike manner. "Have you completed the task last night?"

"Of course." Qin Xue responded clearly, and then shared her excitement with a smug look on her face, "Not only did I complete it, I completed it quite well."

Seeing how clumsy she was yesterday, Liu Zhiyan was very curious about what she meant by "perfect completion".

He couldn't help but stop what he was doing and looked up at her again.

Today she was wearing a bean green dress with narrow sleeves, a playful double bun, and sparkling eyes like black grapes, showing her owner's good mood at the moment.

Seeing this, he unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Then let me check it out. Yours is quite good. What is the good method?"

"No problem." Qin Xue confidently agreed to his request. She bent down and took out two eggs, still cold, from the basket the maid had just brought. She explained, "I have to use the eggs I brought with me."

Seeing her take eggs out of the basket covered with cloth, Liu Zhiyan realized that there were eggs inside. "So you specially gave me two baskets of eggs for today's homework?"

"Of course not." Although her family was wealthy, they didn't want to give them away for free. "I originally bought these eggs for practice, but my cook heard about my practice and taught me a very effective method, which I succeeded in no time. We have a small family and can't eat so many eggs, so I brought them here to use."

"I've put these eggs in the ice room and chilled them. Just pay me the market price. I won't charge you more."

I heard that the eggs were all frozen in the ice cream shop, and Liu Zhiyan probably knew the reason for her success.

He thought she had to fight with eggs all night last night, but he didn't expect that there was someone knowledgeable in her family.

He felt a little regretful that he hadn't noticed her dispirited look, and he kept on mocking her, "Smart."

"I thought you were praising me." After spending a whole day together yesterday, Qin Xue already knew that this man's mouth was extremely mean.

As he spoke, he had already quickly cracked two eggs into a bowl, and then used a special iron spoon beside him to scoop out the two egg yolks one by one.

After bringing the completely separated egg yolk to Liu Zhiyan, Qin Xue kindly suggested, "Next time you teach someone how to crack eggs, I suggest you teach this method."

The yolk of refrigerated eggs is more concentrated and the membrane is tougher and less easy to break, making it much easier to separate than directly on the broken eggshell.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need it." Teaching this girl this time was completely an accident.

The reason it is called an accident is that it only happens once and will never happen again.

Qin Xue just said it casually and didn't require him to follow her advice.

Ignoring his refusal, "What are you going to learn in the morning?"

"Make meringue." That means beating the egg whites.

Thinking of how Liu Zhiyan had been making meringue yesterday, stirring it with one hand for nearly two cups of tea, Qin Xue couldn't help but look at his right arm, which looked incredibly slender due to the narrow sleeves he wore, and asked him in a very sincere tone, "The amount of meringue needed is huge, isn't there a better way to whip it?"

I just saw him beat meringue once. This fool who has never done it himself knows how to ask such insightful questions.

Indeed, you can't underestimate anyone.

"Of course..." Seeing her eagerly waiting, he paused maliciously for a long time before uttering the last word, "Yes." Then, without waiting for a smile to appear on her face, he immediately continued, "But you won't have the chance to touch that thing, so you can only learn how to do it manually from me."

Because of his deliberate pause, Qin Xue's eyes almost widened as big as copper bells. After finally hearing the answer she wanted to hear, she was about to laugh out loud to express her happiness, but was forced back by Liu Zhiyan's next words.

A pretty face, twisted and distorted by her dramatic emotional changes in a short period of time, would be an understatement to describe it as brilliant. "Please, old man, speak more clearly from now on, okay?"

She was afraid that her face would be deformed if he tormented her a few more times.

He was only twenty-five years old, in the best years of his life, but he was constantly being called an old man, which made him very angry.

He is in a bad mood, and those who make him angry will not be able to feel good either.

So, he said very bluntly, "You also said that I am an old man. Old people are short of breath and can't speak fluently. There is nothing I can do."

Everyone likes beautiful things, and Qin Xue is no exception.

Liu Zhiyan had such a beautiful face, and Qin Xue liked him quite a lot at first.

But as he became more and more disgusted with her, she pulled out a sentence from her mind that was particularly suitable for this man: All that glitters is rotten inside.

A face so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it, but unfortunately it has a 'bad' heart.

This realization made her no longer feel surprised when she heard any shocking words from him. "You are the master, whatever you say is what I will do."

Seeing the other side call off the attack, Liu Zhiyan actually felt a little unsatisfied.

Just as his mother said, teasing a fool whose thoughts are written all over his face can add a lot of fun to life.

However, he was a qualified teacher. When he heard that his student was about to start, his face immediately changed to seriousness. "When you first start learning, you can imitate the rhythm of early summer rain hitting leaves while beating. At the same time, you can say to yourself: quick--slow--quick, quick-quick-quick--slow--quick. Remember, you can only stir in a clockwise direction."

After saying that, Liu Zhiyan picked up the bamboo whisk and demonstrated to her.

After finishing, he looked up and asked her, "Have you learned it?"

But when he saw a face full of infatuation, his face immediately fell, and with a snap, he smashed the bamboo whisk in his hand into the specially made high-rimmed porcelain basin, "If you can't make the meringue well this morning, get the hell out of here by lunchtime."

It is said that serious men are the most handsome.

Even though Liu Zhiyan didn't curse at anyone, his face was still very confusing, and Qin Xue was unconsciously fascinated by him.

I didn't pay any attention to what he said.

Startled by his sudden voice, she subconsciously added, "Without opening her mouth, she can rival the fairies in the Fairy Palace. But with her mouth open, she instantly becomes that annoying sparrow."

Seeing the other person's extremely ugly face, Qin Xue realized what she had said and quickly covered her mouth. "I'll get out of here right now. If I don't learn how to make meringue, I won't bother you anymore. Please calm down."

After saying that, he quickly rolled aside with a basin in one hand and sugar in the other to beat the egg whites.

He saw the stupid girl only five steps away from him, with her back to him.

Liu Zhiyan reached out and rubbed his temples.

I wonder what kind of family could raise such a contradictory person.

He is obviously extremely stupid and always does things that make people angry, but people still can't hate him.

Because of his outstanding looks, he has met many women who are crazy about him since he was a child.

Every time he met a woman like that, even if she didn't do anything excessive, he couldn't help but leave in anger.

When he met this person, he miraculously did not get angry or leave.

After thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason.

When the girl looked at him like that, it was like comparing him to spring flowers and autumn moon when they first met, without any emotion mixed in her eyes. In other words, in her eyes, he was just like spring flowers and autumn moon.

Thinking that the other person looked at him as if he were looking at a flower, Liu Zhiyan felt as if something was blocking his heart and felt very unhappy.

However, thinking that this silly girl would no longer bother him this morning, the unhappy feeling disappeared instantly.

He thought that no one would disturb him and he could concentrate on his own things, but it turned out that his attention was diverted by the other party from time to time.

Seeing that she stopped stirring after a few times, he scolded her with a dark face, "Hurry up and hit it continuously."

His words were like a shot of chicken blood in her stomach, and her hands moved faster immediately.

Although his speed was fast, his hand movements were completely random and disorganized.

"You don't have a brain? Or you don't understand what clockwise is?"

After adjusting the direction, the speed dropped.

"Imitate the rhythm of early summer rain hitting banana leaves, stirring."

Qin Xue, already confused by the movements of her hands, saw that the other party kept finding faults. She imitated his angry behavior just now and smashed the bamboo whisk in her hand into the basin with a snap. Then she put her hands on her hips and glared at him with a pair of round eyes. "When I was doing the slow motion just now, I was thinking about the steps as I was doing it."

"You ended up giving me blind orders and messing with my brain. I didn't even blame you, yet you actually despise me."

"I'm telling you, if you hadn't given me such blind orders, I might have already figured it out."

"Now my brain is a mess because of you. I can't remember anything. What do you think I should do?"

Seeing the other person's cheeks puffed up with anger, Liu Zhiyan couldn't bear it this time. He quickly took a few steps forward and stretched out his hands to poke her cheeks.

Her bulging cheeks became concave because of his movements, and then bulged again as the other person moved his head away.

Seeing him stretching his hand towards her, Qin Xue thought he was going to hit someone, so she subconsciously closed her eyes and shrank her head back, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Do you still want to hit someone? Let me tell you..."

"Shut up."

Upon hearing his words, Qin Xue subconsciously shut up, but she was furious inside, and her cheeks were puffed up even bigger than before because of anger.

Then she felt something poking her cheeks again. Just as she was about to pull back, she heard a voice that couldn't be any softer beside her ear, "Don't move, don't speak, let me poke you."

Thinking of Qin Xue, who his son said was extremely talented in foreign languages, Ye Qinghan finished his own work. As soon as he walked in, he saw his son holding the little girl in his arms with both hands. He immediately covered his eyes with his five fingers, "Oh, oh, I didn't come at the wrong time, did I?"

There is no movement at all...
