Chapter 260 Lin Xiaolu's "Conspiracy"
"Well, I'm sure all the team members have already figured out one of the main tasks for today, right?"
Standing in the open kitchen of the cottage, with her hands on the chopping board, Lin Xiaolu said in what she thought was a very imposing manner: "Before Delphinium comes back, we have to spend the whole day to finish making all the snacks that need to be made! Do you have confidence?"
"...Yes, right?" Xia Liang grinned weakly.
"Yes!" Bai Jingxuan showed her support with great enthusiasm.
It was already the next day. After purchasing the chocolate raw materials and magic props in the evening of the previous day and hiding the purchases from Delphinium for a night, the three of them could finally discuss the matter openly again.
Cuiqiao set out a little later than the day before. He spent the whole morning urging three juniors to review the written test. He then sat at the desk, staring at his phone for a long time before leaving Caiyun Wetland with a sentence, "I will be back a little later in the evening, so you guys should go to the restaurant earlier."
Although this arrangement meant that the three of them only had one afternoon and one evening to prepare, it obviously did not dampen their enthusiasm.
She dragged out the things she had bought in advance from under the bed - these were the things Xia Liang had secretly hidden when Lin Xiaolu was fooling around when they came back. Among them was the magic prop known as the "Universal Dessert Machine" from the dessert restaurant, and several packages of raw materials tightly wrapped in sealed packaging.
"Fruity, Royal, Classic..."
Lin Xiaolu identified the words on the sealed packages and piled them up one by one on the kitchen counter. Finally, she dragged out a package from the deepest part under the bed that was different from the other materials.
Unlike the raw materials of chocolate, this package is not only more airtight, but you can also feel the coolness coming out of it with your hands, as if some technology is used to maintain a constant temperature inside.
The outer layer of its packaging has completely different words written on it in the same font as other packages: - Fresh Flower Milk Thousand Layer Mousse Cake.
Yes, this is not chocolate, but a pack of raw materials used to make cakes with props.
The reason why she bought this package of materials was because Bai Jingxuan secretly asked Lin Xiaolu a question in the store yesterday: "Sister Xiaolu, aren't you going to give uncle something by the way?"
"My dad? Why?"
Lin Xiaolu, who was selecting a dessert machine at the time, did not understand Bai Jingxuan's intention. She just looked at her with some confusion: "Didn't the store say that this holiday is Valentine's Day?"
"Oh, no, I'm not talking about Valentine's Day..."
Bai Jingxuan waved her hand, then said hesitantly, "Yes, tomorrow is my uncle's birthday."
"……ha?"
My dad has a birthday? I have no idea.
This was Lin Xiaolu’s first reaction.
Oh, my mom was there at that time, so they probably just spent Valentine's Day alone, so I had nothing to do with it.
This was Lin Xiaolu’s second reaction.
It turns out that my dad didn’t come out of a crack in a rock? This was Lin Xiaolu’s third reaction.
Lin Xiaolu felt that her brain had never worked so fast before. Then, at the end of the three-level reaction, she reached the true other side of her mind: "How did you know?"
Yes, this was the question Lin Xiaolu finally asked.
Because she really didn't understand, she didn't even know her own father's birthday, why would her teammates know it? "Well... my uncle told me before." Bai Jingxuan lowered her head.
"Why is he telling you this?" Lin Xiaolu's eyes widened.
Bai Jingxuan did not answer.
However, her silence did not mean that Lin Xiaolu could not guess the answer, because she actually remembered what bad things she had done at the end of last year, including but not limited to encouraging her biological father to remarry Cuiqiao, adopting Bai Jingxuan and even Xia Liang, so that she could turn the Fangting City team into her own Fangting City sisterhood, thereby becoming the legal eldest sister among the three and holding great power... However, because it was too embarrassing and humiliating to recall it now, she had decided to seal up these memories.
In her memory and perspective, she was the one who was actually messing around the entire time. In theory, the other two teammates only heard her bragging and should not have been deeply involved...
Is it right?
Lin Xiaolu suddenly remembered the candies that Bai Jingxuan often took out of her pocket. Because they tasted really good, she often asked Bai Jingxuan to grab two to eat.
The origin of this candy came to light on New Year's Eve when she went to her father's office in the Strategy Bureau, because she realized that it was Bai Jingxuan who took the candy from her father's office.
Bai Jingxuan took out this kind of candy from her pocket more than once or twice. Even yesterday when she went to the examination center to register, Lin Xiaolu saw her secretly tear open a package while waiting in line, obviously because she was afraid that she would grab it. But she, Lin Xiaolu, was generous and didn't care.
Combined with the fact that Bai Jingxuan knew her biological father's birthday, the whole story is self-evident.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaolu reached out and pinched Bai Jingxuan's face.
——"I really do have a 'good sister' who knows how to act like a spoiled child..."
She grabbed Bai Jingxuan's face with a fake smile and pulled it left and right.
"Woo woo..." Bai Jingxuan also knew that what she did was not so proper to Lin Xiaolu, her "own daughter", so she did not dare to resist too fiercely.
"well."
However, Lin Xiaolu did not go too far. When she noticed that Bai Jingxuan had tears in her eyes and was obviously feeling a little uncomfortable, she took the initiative to let go of her hand and sighed:
"If I really had a sister like you, I would have no status in the family within two years."
"Uncle still likes Sister Xiaolu very much."
Bai Jingxuan took two steps back as if she had been pardoned, rubbing her face: "He often asks me about you."
"……I know."
Lin Xiaolu stopped bothering Bai Jingxuan and stopped choosing the style of the dessert machine. Instead, she turned her head and looked at the shelf at the door. On it were the raw materials for making other desserts besides chocolate.
The three of them had already roughly browsed the items on the shelves when they entered the store, but they had limited pocket money and were thinking about chocolate at the time, so they didn't take anything from the shelves.
"How about making a cake?" she suggested to Bai Jingxuan.
"Making a cake...why?" Bai Jingxuan was a little confused.
"Of course it's for celebrating my birthday. When it's done, I'll make a video call to my dad, and we'll wish him a happy birthday together." Lin Xiaolu said as a matter of course.
"But in that case, uncle won't be able to eat the cake, right?" Bai Jingxuan was a little hesitant.
"Eat, eat, eat. You only think about eating."
Lin Xiaolu folded her arms and said, "Listen carefully. The most important thing about birthdays is blessings and celebrations, not just eating cake! After we celebrate for my dad here, at worst we can find a courier to send the cake back to the material world."
"...The cake would have been spoiled long ago." Bai Jingxuan was still worried about whether Lin Yun could really eat the cake.
Lin Xiaolu was immediately choked by her words.
After that, the two consulted the store clerk and confirmed that there was a similar business in the kingdom. Because the desserts of the magic kingdom have always been famous in many worlds, they are often exported to the material world. In order to protect the reputation, the kingdom even has a cold chain logistics system for transporting desserts to ensure that these desserts can be delivered to the tables of people in the outside world in a relatively perfect state.
In this way, technical problems are also solved.
"You mean, tomorrow is Uncle Lin's birthday, so you plan to make a cake for him to celebrate via video?"
The last person to learn about the plan was Xia Liang. Unlike Lin Xiaolu and Bai Jingxuan, she was a little surprised when she learned about Lin Yun's birthday, but soon, this feeling of surprise disappeared. Instead, she had a strange expression of laughing but enjoying it.
"Pfft... Isn't this good? I think it's great."
She half covered her mouth, looking like she was about to laugh: "Let's do this, give chocolates to the young senior and make a cake for Uncle Lin. I believe they will be very touched by then."
