After demonstrating all the actions in his mind, Bai Hao stopped, looking at Su Yuewan with a cautious and guilty expression, and said, "Sect Master, I'm sorry, I have let you down. Perhaps... you could demonstrate it again?"
Judging solely from his expression and tone, Su Yuewan might easily believe that Bai Hao was genuinely remorseful.
but,
He is not!
Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!
Demonstrate it again? Dream on!
You little pervert!
"No, you've already practiced very well. If you practice this sword technique diligently in the future, you'll definitely make great progress." Su Yuewan calmly put on her white jade shoes.
What she said is true.
Bai Hao's understanding of swordsmanship far exceeded her expectations.
Even the essence of sword energy is present...
This little rascal is really quite mysterious.
Of course, besides Bai Hao's talent for understanding swordsmanship.
More than anything, I didn't want to let this little pervert get away with it!
Don't think I don't know what you're up to!
This was the first time Su Yuewan had ever realized that this little rascal was actually quite handsome, so how could his heart be so filthy?
That's so inappropriate!!
"Alright, that's enough for today. I'm hungry. Make me something to eat." Su Yuewan sat down in the wicker chair, crossed her arms, and put on a stern face.
"This... isn't a good idea? It's not lunchtime yet."
[She only taught for a few minutes, and now she's already thinking about food. What a glutton!]
Bai Hao felt frustrated, as if he were a heartless cook. Su Yuewan was watching him every day, either trying to fool him or demanding food.
If she keeps eating like this, she'll squander everything in the sect.
"I don't care, I just taught you a sword technique, so you have to cook me something to eat." Su Yuewan wasn't one to reason with people. She pouted slightly, looking a little angry, which was... kind of cute.
"Alright, I'll see what's edible in the kitchen then." Bai Hao conceded defeat, muttered to himself, and turned to go back to the kitchen.
It's only been a short time since lunch, and there are still some leftovers to eat, but if Su Yuewan were to use that to get by, she'd probably kill her.
"There's not much here, just a bag of flour, sesame seeds, sugar, peanuts... Oh well, let's make some glutinous rice balls."
With only these things in the kitchen, the only thing that could satisfy that old lady outside without requiring many ingredients was glutinous rice balls.
"Sigh, what can I do? We're poor, we don't have any fancy dishes. Even a great chef like me has no opportunity to shine."
Bai Hao felt increasingly frustrated, but given the circumstances, he had no choice but to give in.
After preparing all the ingredients, he began kneading the dough, grinding sesame seeds, peanuts...
Making glutinous rice balls isn't difficult, but there are quite a few steps involved, and it takes some time if you're making them alone.
In the courtyard, Su Yuewan watched Bai Hao bustling about in the kitchen, and her curiosity was piqued again.
She was just saying it casually, just wanting to find something for Bai Hao to do, but she didn't expect him to actually take it seriously.
Su Yuewan went to the window and watched Bai Hao inside, head down, pinching glutinous rice balls. She immediately became curious.
"What are you doing?"
"Make tangyuan (sweet rice balls)," Bai Hao said without looking up.
He might be careless about other things, but he's very particular about cooking.
Once he starts cooking, few things can distract him.
Of course, the exception is the kind that involves blowing up a kitchen.
"You can make tangyuan (sweet rice balls)?"
Su Yuewan watched him curiously as he bent down to fiddle with things, his face covered in flour, but it didn't look out of place at all.
Watching him do it step by step, it looked complicated.
She never expected that her casual remark would lead Bai Hao to start making tangyuan (sweet rice balls).
"This little rascal... he's actually quite nice." She thought to herself, feeling inexplicably touched.
She watched as Bai Hao carefully pinched the glutinous rice balls, then turned on the fire and put them into the pot.
Everyone says that people who are serious about their work are the most handsome. Su Yuewan suddenly thought that this little rascal looked pretty good too. He was quite handsome at such a young age.
She's a bit of a chatterbox, which really ruins the mood.
...
Finally, the steaming hot glutinous rice balls were ready.
"Alright, Sect Master, please try it, but be careful, it's hot." Bai Hao ladled out a bowl and placed it on the table.
"It smells so good."
Su Yuewan originally wanted to tease Bai Hao, but the glutinous rice balls were right in front of her. Those round and glistening glutinous rice balls exuded a sweet aroma, and she lost immediately.
"Try my cooking. It's been a long time since I made tangyuan (sweet rice balls)." Bai Hao handed over a pair of chopsticks.
The last time he made tangyuan was last year's Lantern Festival, for the disciples of his sect.
I haven't done this in so long, I wonder if I've gotten worse.
"Then I'll reluctantly give it a try." Su Yuewan hummed as she took the chopsticks, her expression as if Bai Hao was begging her to eat.
She carefully added one, put it in her mouth, and the scalding temperature made her raise her palm to fan the air in front of her mouth to cool it down before swallowing it in a few bites.
tasty!
This glutinous rice ball was soft, chewy, and smooth. After taking a bite, the white sugar inside flowed out, filling her entire mouth with sweetness!
And it's not too sweet, leaving a lingering, pleasant aftertaste.
"How about it?"
"I haven't even tasted it yet, I'm having another one, what's the rush?" Su Yuewan snapped at him impatiently, then picked up a second, a third...
Only after she had finished the entire bowl of glutinous rice balls, not even leaving the sweet soup behind, did Su Yuewan say calmly, "Not bad, keep it up."
She looked quite content, a sesame seed still clinging to her cherry lips, making her quite charming.
Bai Hao: “…”
[You finished a bowl of a dozen or so dishes in no time, and then all you said was "not bad."]
[Fine, I won't hold it against you.]
He was quite confident in his cooking skills, and although Su Yuewan was stubborn, she couldn't hide it from him.
Positive reviews of food are the best feedback a chef can receive.
Of course, Bai Hao doesn't need it.
Because he thinks his cooking skills are also amazing.
"Thank you for your comments, Sect Master. I will continue to work hard in the future," Bai Hao said weakly, putting away the bowl and chopsticks.
Having eaten and drunk her fill, and without being criticized by Bai Hao, Su Yuewan's mood improved considerably, and she was about to get up.
Just then, Fan Ziming rushed in.
Upon seeing Su Yuewan sitting in the courtyard, he immediately stopped and said breathlessly, "Sect Master, the people from the Divine Sea Sect have arrived!"
Su Yuewan narrowed her beautiful eyes, stood up and stretched, her graceful curves making Fan Ziming blush slightly, and he quickly lowered his head.
"They're here, so what's the rush?" Su Yuewan said lazily. "Call Bai Hao and go greet the guests."
"yes!"
