Chapter 856 Chapter 5: Don’t underestimate the traditional delicacies!
In the emergency room of the medical department, Li Muhan stayed with his son closely. Qilin's treatment was over, and most of Li Lingsheng's burns had recovered.
Qilin told Li Muhan that Tanlang's fire was a Yin fire, which would affect people's Yang energy, but his son had the power of the heart of the world, so he would not be harmed.
After thanking Qilin, Li Muhan sat in the room.
He remembered what Elias had said to him in prison.
[Those two children are destined to be extraordinary. I know you want them to live an ordinary life, but that is impossible.]
Li Muhan didn't care at that time.
He thought he could protect his two children, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Just then, the door of the medical department was pushed open.
Xia Yue walked quickly into the ward carrying a suitcase. She was wearing a black suit and trousers. It was obvious that she had rushed back from a meeting in Ireland without even having time to change her clothes.
"Xia Yue, I..."
Li Muhan wanted to say something.
But Xia Yue had already walked over and gently held him in her arms.
"It's okay, it's okay... When I came here, I heard them say that Lingsheng is no longer in danger. Don't blame yourself."
"But...I should have avoided this situation."
"You're here again." Xia Yue sat on the edge of the bed, held Li Muhan's shoulders and made him look straight at her.
"You're not God. You can't save everything, idiot. When will you change your savior complex?"
As he spoke, he began to tidy up Li Muhan's messy hair and collar.
"You're the section chief now, so take care of your image... idiot."
Li Muhan wanted to cry and throw himself into Xia Yue's arms and have a good cry, but he held back.
"I'm sorry to have worried you so much. Have you finished with your affairs in Ireland?"
"Well, it's not a big deal."
Xia Yue nodded, and then, while helping her son cover himself a little tighter, she said, "Xia Luer came back and said she found the magic spring that can grant wishes. She might be able to get information about my mother's whereabouts, so she called a meeting of the Thirteen Principal Officials."
"Then do you want to go with her?" Li Muhan asked, while his hand inadvertently tightened around Xia Yue's.
Xia Yue shook her head slightly: "She took Wuzhiqi, Aoyin and Kongsu with her. She said she would contact me if she had any information. Okay, don't talk about me anymore. Have you eaten well during the past few days I was away?"
"Well, these past few days I've let the two kids go to Uncle Li's noodle shop for lunch, and I try to go home early to cook for them in the evening."
"Okay, I'll cook tomorrow when Lingyue comes home from school."
Dangdangdang——
Li Muhan's heart sank suddenly and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Then he said as if he remembered something.
"Ah! I, I remember now. Qilin just said Lingsheng will be discharged tomorrow afternoon. How about we go out for dinner to celebrate Lingsheng's discharge?"
Xia Yue rolled her eyes at Li Muhan.
"Don't you want to eat the food I cook?"
"No, no, no, hahaha, I want to eat."
"Okay, then on the weekend, I'll cook at home, and none of you three can escape."
Li Muhan had only one thought in his mind, it would be okay if he died, but he had to protect the two children no matter what and never let them eat the food cooked by Xia Yue.
In the end, Xia Yue asked Li Muhan to go home first, and she stayed in the hospital to take care of Li Lingsheng.
Li Muhan agreed. After all, he had a daughter at home who also needed comfort. She was probably hiding in the quilt and crying.
Although Xia Lingyue looks like a heartless child, she is actually very thoughtful.
well.
Li Muhan specially bought some cakes and desserts.
As soon as he got downstairs, he felt something was wrong.
There is a breath...
It is not the breath of an alien, but the breath of the law.
Li Muhan frowned and directly opened the realm of Baal. After throwing away the cake, he arrived at the door of his house in an instant at the speed of thunder.
Just as he suddenly opened the door, he was prepared for the worst.
"Lingyue!!...Uh?"
Li Muhan saw Xia Lingyue, who was wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, mopping the floor.
"What are you...doing?"
Xia Lingyue was startled by the shout after Li Muhan opened the door. She sat down on the ground again, then seemed to realize something. She stood up suddenly and looked at her wet shorts. She felt completely hopeless.
"......Uh." Li Muhan slowly walked to her side and moved his nose.
"Lingyue...that's what..."
Before Li Muhan could finish his words, Xia Lingyue had already raised her hand and gently grasped the hem of Li Muhan's clothes.
"No, don't say anything, Daddy, please, don't say anything."
"Um......."
Li Muhan nodded, walked into the bathroom somewhat awkwardly, and took out another mop.
"Go...take a shower, I'll clean up." Li Muhan gave his daughter the last bit of decency.
Just as Xia Lingyue turned and walked towards the bathroom with tears in her eyes, Li Muhan couldn't help but said something.
"It's okay, Lingyue, you're only five years old, it's normal for you to wet your pants."
"Aaaaaaah!!!" These words completely broke Xia Lingyue's defenses. She rushed to the bathroom while crying loudly.
"Hey, hey! Don't run! There's water on your pants! Oh my gosh! It's dripping everywhere!"
"Wuwuwuwu! Stop talking! Damn Old Li!"
Bang—the bathroom door was closed. Li Muhan looked at the bathroom door and couldn't help but smile. He felt a lot more relaxed.
"Close the door gently. I've told you so many times!"
But soon, he looked around and found something wrong.
"Where's my TV?! I have a TV this big! I just bought it!"
...
...
The next day when Xia Lingyue went to school, she found that nothing had changed.
No one talked about her shark teeth, as if everyone's memory had disappeared, and then she actually received a love letter from the student council president.
But this time, Xia Lingyue tore up the love letter in front of the senior and gave him the middle finger.
"Xia Lingyue...classmate."
Just after school in the afternoon, a voice called Xia Lingyue who was packing her schoolbag.
She looked back and saw a trembling figure standing at the door of the classroom. She was so humble and pitiful, as if she would disappear from this world in the next second.
"Oh, you're the one from yesterday."
Xia Lingyue recognized that this was the girl he and Li Lingsheng rescued yesterday.
"Are you okay?" Xia Lingyue asked.
The girl nodded.
"Yesterday...thank you. I, I couldn't find Li Lingsheng."
"He is sick and in the hospital." After saying that, Xia Lingyue turned around to leave, but was gently stopped by the girl.
“This, this!”
She cautiously held out her hand, which contained a small box.
"What is this?"
Xia Lingyue took the box and opened it in no time.
There were only some biscuits in the box.
But it’s different from those exquisite cookies sold everywhere nowadays.
This cookie has nothing fancy about it, it is just the simplest kind of cookie with plain appearance.
"Here, these are the cookies I sell at home. I, I want to give them to you. Thank you for helping me yesterday..."
"What? This is a very ordinary cookie. It looks so ugly."
Xia Lingyue directly took a biscuit and stuffed it into her mouth, then she suddenly remembered that she was wearing a mask.
But when the biscuit reached my nose, I suddenly smelled a strong milky aroma.
Oh shit.
There's something about this cookie.
Xia Lingyue stuffed the box back to the girl, then turned around and carefully untied her mask a little bit with her hands. After putting the biscuit into her mouth, she immediately put the mask back on.
"Classmate Xia Lingyue... I, I know these things are worthless, but I really want to thank you... Eh?"
The girl thought Xia Lingyue looked down on these things, but soon she felt something was wrong. Xia Lingyue's body was shaking.
Then she suddenly turned around and looked at the girl with a fanatical look.
"Good! Delicious! This! So delicious!"
"Really?" Hearing Xia Lingyue say it was delicious, the girl was also very happy: "I baked this myself! I, I recently started to help my mother make some cookies! Do you really think it tastes good?"
The girl's voice became much more confident.
Xia Lingyue didn't answer and just grabbed the box.
"Walk!"
"Eh? Where are you going?"
Before the girl could react, Xia Lingyue had already dragged her to the rooftop.
"Why did you bring me here?"
"Because I can enjoy it here."
Xia Lingyue released the girl's hand, turned around, took off her mask, opened the box and started eating.
"Mmm! Delicious! Delicious! You cook it so deliciously! The shop must be really famous! Tell me which one it is! I'll buy from you every day from now on!"
Although the girl didn't know why Xia Lingyue ate cookies with her back to her, she was still very happy to hear Xia Lingyue say that.
"Thank you... Thank you, Lingyue, but... My shop will be closing tomorrow. However! If you like, I will make it for you often in the future!"
"Holy crap! Is this true?! Such a delicious place is closed?! Oh... by the way, I don't even know your name?"
Xia Lingyue's mouth was filled with biscuits.
"My name is Zhong Ke...I'm a new transfer student."
"Oh, okay, Zhong Ke, we'll be friends from now on. If anyone bullies you at school, tell me and I'll help you deal with him!"
“…Huh?”
Zhong Ke was stunned, and her eyes under her messy bangs suddenly flashed with a light.
"You.....what you said, is it true......"
"Of course, I'm protecting you, and I'm protecting you. As for Li Lingsheng... well, forget it. He can't do anything except take a beating, huh? You... why are you crying?!"
Xia Lingyue had finished eating all the biscuits. After putting on her mask, she turned around and saw Zhong Ke's tears falling uncontrollably.
"Uh, I, I mean, are you really willing to be friends with me..."
"I do! Damn it, I said I want to be friends with you, not marry you, why are you crying?"
"Wow...we are both girls, how can we be husband and wife..."
As if amused by Xia Lingyue's words, Zhong Ke laughed while sobbing.
Afterwards, the two chatted a lot on the rooftop, and Xia Lingyue also learned about the troubles of Zhong Ke's family.
"My father died early, and my mother raised me alone... My father was a very talented pastry chef, and my mother was attracted to him because of this. After we got married, we opened a dessert shop. Business was very good at first, and everyone loved our products, especially the cookies... I was really happy at that time."
Xia Lingyue saw that when Zhong Ke said these words, his eyes seemed to see the carefree and happy life in the past.
"But slowly... there are more and more new desserts. They have unique shapes and are very pleasing to the eye, but they sacrifice a lot of production processes and contain many additives, which are not good for the human body. But this, it looks and tastes really good. For a while, I also liked to eat it..."
"So our family's oldest dessert shop gradually lost customers, and my mom even suggested to my dad that he follow the crowd and try something new."
"At first, my father agreed, but as he was making it, he felt that something was wrong. He thought that doing so would make the dessert lose a lot of its original flavor. He recognized the market for those new desserts, but he himself could not make the change no matter what."
Xia Lingyue lay on the bench, her hands resting on her head as she looked at the sky and said.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Times are advancing. If you can't accept it, you'll soon be eliminated."
"Yes... but Mom is different. She's very clever. She quietly improved Dad's desserts, creating a variety of shapes and flavors while maintaining the rich flavor. Then our desserts became popular again. Dad wasn't angry at all, he even said Mom was a genius. It was she who made his desserts wear new clothes and stand in front of everyone again."
"Well, why are you closing now?"
Xia Lingyue asked.
“…Not long after that…” Zhong Ke said this and sniffed again.
"There's a large dessert shop nearby. I think it's run by... a Michelin five-star chef."
"Michelin? Aren't those tires? Can you eat tires?"
Xia Lingyue asked the same stupid question her father asked back then...
