Originally, Gu Qingze, Chu Lingxiao and Grandma Li had agreed to have a wonderful dessert competition.
They started preparing early, carefully selecting various ingredients and repeatedly pondering the unique dessert recipe.
However, plans often cannot keep up with changes. Just as they were preparing for the dessert competition, they suddenly learned an unexpected news - Grandma Li's sister was coming to visit her.
This news immediately put Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao into a dilemma. That was the precious time when Grandma Li and her family were together, and they didn't want to disturb Grandma Li and her family because of their presence.
So, after some discussion, the two decided to cancel the dessert competition so that Grandma Li could accompany her sister wholeheartedly.
But what they didn't expect was that Grandma Li said cheerfully that it was not a big deal.
She felt that the dessert competition could proceed as usual, and she could take this opportunity to introduce Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao to her sister.
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were both flattered when they heard what Grandma Li said.
They didn't expect that they had such an important place in Grandma Li's heart. Grandma Li was not only willing to think of them when their family members came to visit, but also wanted to introduce them to her relatives.
Since Grandma Li didn't mind, they naturally had no objections.
On the appointed day, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao arrived at Grandma Li's house as scheduled, feeling both nervous and expectant.
When they walked into the house, they found that Grandma Li's elder sister was already sitting on the sofa.
Grandma Li's sister looked elegant, but with a sense of seriousness that came from her lack of anger. She sat there quietly with a cute child sitting beside her.
The child was not very old, probably around three or four years old.
She had two playful little pigtails, and her pink clothes set off her rosy face, making her look particularly cute.
Her round eyes were like two crystal clear gems, looking at Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao curiously.
When Grandma Li saw them coming, a smile immediately spread across her face. She enthusiastically introduced them to her sister, "These are the Xiao Chu and Xiao Gu I mentioned to you before."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao hurriedly greeted him somewhat stiffly. They wore polite smiles on their faces, but a hint of nervousness flashed in their eyes.
However, Grandma Li's sister's reaction was a little cold. She just nodded slightly without any extra words or expressions.
This cold reaction made Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao even more nervous. They were worried that they had left a bad impression on Grandma Li's sister, and their hearts were in turmoil.
Fortunately, Grandma Li was there. She keenly noticed the change in the atmosphere and immediately eased the gradually tense atmosphere.
Grandma Li looked at them tenderly and introduced them: "This is my sister, and the little baby next to her is my sister's granddaughter, Mengmeng."
Then, Grandma Li turned to Mengmeng and said, "Mengmeng, come and say hello to these two brothers."
Mengmeng opened her big eyes, which were full of innocence and curiosity. She said in a baby voice, "Hello, brother."
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao quickly responded with a smile, and their tension eased a little.
Grandma Li continued, "My sister is usually quite serious, so don't take it personally."
Then, she looked at them expectantly and said, "Let's have a good dessert-making competition today, and let my sister and Mengmeng taste your cooking skills."
....................
Although it was a dessert competition, they considered that making only desserts might be a bit monotonous and not satisfy everyone, so they discussed with Grandma Li and decided to work together to make a few more delicious meals.
The kitchen suddenly became lively. Gu Qingze cut the vegetables skillfully. The blade and the chopping board collided rhythmically, making crisp sounds.
Chu Lingxiao was preparing the seasonings in an orderly manner, and various bottles and jars were being handled precisely in his hands.
Grandma Li was like a conductor, guiding them gently and sharing some cooking tips from time to time.
Soon, the dining table was filled with delicious meals and exquisite desserts.
These delicacies seem like carefully crafted works of art, exuding an enticing aroma.
Meng Meng stared at the delicacies with her round eyes, her eyes sparkling. She pointed at a colorful cake with her little hand and said excitedly: "Wow, that one is so beautiful."
The cream on the cake is like delicate snowflakes, dotted with colorful fruits, like a sweet castle in a dream.
Grandma Li looked at Mengmeng's adorable appearance, smiled and touched Mengmeng's head, "I'll let the brothers cut a piece for you to try later."
Grandma Li's sister picked up the cutlery and took a bite of the dessert. Her brows, which had been slightly furrowed at first, relaxed a little the moment her taste buds touched the dessert. She then said, "It tastes pretty good."
While eating, they enjoyed the delicious food and chatted with Grandma Li in a relaxed manner.
Gu Qingze shared some interesting things in life, and Chu Lingxiao added a few words from time to time.
Gradually, the atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful.
Mengmeng is sitting in the child seat, her mouth is bulging with food, and her cheeks are like a greedy little squirrel. Her cute look makes people laugh.
Grandma Li looked at Mengmeng with loving eyes and said gently, "This child likes to eat sweet things."
Gu Qingze smiled and responded, "Children all love sweets, but they can't eat too much, otherwise their teeth will be damaged."
