As for Xia Li, she activated her long-cultivated divine skill, "in one ear and out the other," and also used:
"Oh dear, I don't want to leave you."
While giving a perfunctory response, they still increased their firepower... and that's how they obtained this item.
What's remarkable about this thing is that, although it's completely ruined, it can still be considered a "cookie" with some effort.
It's not something you can get by just messing around.
Instead, Xia Li made many mistakes that beginners often make, and the "beginner cookies" she obtained were exactly the same as the cookies she baked for the first time.
Li Si seemed to see Xia Li secretly watching him.
In the blink of an eye, the latter had already withdrawn his gaze, still displaying an indifferent expression.
The fox frowned, but Xia Li suppressed a laugh.
—I put so much effort into making this, why aren't you eating it?
Xia Li originally intended to use this sentence to provoke Li Si, while also stimulating his taste buds.
But I haven't said it yet.
Then I heard a crunching sound.
Xia Li: ...
Hearing the sound, Xia Li turned around and looked in astonishment at Li Si, who was chewing and staring at the ceiling.
You... you really have the guts to do that!
"…not bad."
Li Si tilted his head as if tasting something and said. He had never eaten charcoal before, but he figured it probably wouldn't taste too far off from this biscuit.
Xia Li looked at Li Si in disbelief:
"...Are you crazy?"
Li Si hummed in response, "Hmm?" "What's wrong?"
"You've never eaten a cookie in your life??"
"Didn't some clubs come to distribute them on the winter solstice?" Li Si said with a smile.
"yes--"
The cookies were distributed by a female member of the pastry club, and both Fox and Xiao Fu had a good opinion of her—which was a prerequisite for Xia Li to decide to make the cookies.
If I could make cookies better than those from the pastry shop, it would definitely surprise everyone.
…But, at least not the one sent over now.
Xia Li's almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief; she couldn't understand Li Si's assessment at all.
"Each has its own merits. If you do it a few more times, you'll be even better than her."
As Li Si spoke, he tried to swallow the biscuit crumbs in his mouth, but they were indeed not very palatable. In a moment of frowning, he turned his back so that Xia Li wouldn't see his embarrassed expression.
Xia Li opened her mouth, intending to say something that showed she had no taste and no appreciation whatsoever.
She looked at Li Si, who had her back to her, and reached for a piece of burnt cookie, as if to encourage her, and put it in her mouth to continue chewing.
Then, Xia Li didn't say anything.
She felt as if someone had punched her in the chest; it felt dull and uncomfortable.
"Hello."
Xia Li walked over and kicked Li Si in the ankle.
Li Si had just chewed half a cookie when he turned his head:
"…Um?"
"Just kidding."
Xia Li said casually, then pulled another package from her pocket: "This is the real gift, you idiot."
Li Si: ...
This time, Xia Li personally opened the packaging bag and spread out the cookies inside, which were perfect in both pattern and color, in front of Li Si.
Li Si: ...
He looked at the delicate cookies and then at Xia Li.
"...Where did you buy it?"
"!!"
Xia Li jumped up and headbutted this bastard on the chin: "I did it myself! You damn fox!!"
