Chapter 102: Eating secretly
There was no custom of celebrating birthdays in the Beast World, and Lin Che had almost forgotten about it. He didn't expect that she still remembered it. He was stunned for a moment and then nodded, "Okay."
Yaoze had been kind to him when he was young, and they had been good brothers for so many years, so he didn't hate him.
But Ye Zheng was unwilling, "Why?"
He dislikes everyone except Bai Zhaoyan.
Forget about preparing any gifts, I haven't even thought about it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zheng realized that his tone was a bit stiff and explained: "Zhao Yan, I didn't mean anything against you."
"Yao Ze is a grown man, what gifts can you prepare?"
Besides, Zhaoyan never celebrated his birthday.
He was jealous, but he didn't say it.
Bai Zhaoyan nodded to show that he understood. "Alright, I won't make it difficult for you. Lin Che, let's go together."
Lin Che nodded repeatedly. He was more than happy to be alone with Zhao Yan.
"Hey." Seeing the two of them turn and walk towards the kitchen, Ye Zheng hurriedly chased after them, "It's not like I can't help."
He emphasized, "I'm willing to do this not for him. I'm worried that you'll have to work hard, Zhaoyan."
The three of them entered the kitchen. Bai Zhaoyan used her points to buy ingredients. She added corn oil and milk to a ceramic bowl and stirred them. Lin Che, under her instruction, added flour. Ye Zheng cracked the eggs, separated the whites, and poured the yolks into the bowl.
Add lemon juice to the remaining egg white to remove the fishy smell, and beat with white sugar.
Since there was no electric egg beater, Bai Zhaoyan left this step to Lin Che.
After the egg whites are beaten, add in the egg yolk liquid and mix well.
Finally, pour it into a wooden mold and shake out the bubbles.
Ye Zheng lit a fire, and Lin Che took the mold to the pot to steam.
Bai Zhaoyan began to make the cream. He melted an appropriate amount of butter over water, added milk and sugar, and handed it to Lin Che, asking him to use his iron arm to beat the liquid into cream.
After the cream was formed, Bai Zhaoyan put the basin into a pile of ice to preserve it, and planned to pick some fruits to make the filling and decoration.
After instructing Ye Zheng and Lin Che to watch the fire, he went out alone with a backpack on his back.
She went to see Jiaoyue first and confirmed that she was indeed pregnant.
Jiaoyue smiled sweetly, thanked her repeatedly, and gave her some fruits grown in her own home when she left.
They were two round melons. Jiaoyue said they were very sweet and juicy.
Bai Zhaoyan thought to herself that she was so lucky, she didn't need to pick anything else, just this.
After leaving Jiaoyue's house, she headed back home in the same direction she came from. The tribesmen she met on the way nodded to her from afar and called her "chief."
Some would even bring her some picked fruits and vegetables, and roses in full bloom. Bai Zhaoyan accepted them all and put them in her backpack.
The backpack that was empty when I left was filled to the brim when I returned.
Bai Zhaoyan entered the courtyard and walked towards the kitchen. Just as he was about to call Lin Che to take the backpack, he heard his voice.
"It's delicious, really delicious, fragrant and sweet. What do you think, Ye Zheng?"
Ye Zheng didn't show his emotions so much. He half-closed his eyes in satisfaction and replied proudly, "Yeah."
Bai Zhaoyan was puzzled. What could be so delicious?
Looking through the kitchen door, I saw two people standing side by side around the stove, with their heads slightly lowered, their index fingers rapidly pointing at something and putting it into their mouths.
Not good.
Bai Zhaoyan frowned, quietly walked behind the two of them, and asked sinisterly, "What are you eating?"
The two beasts were enjoying themselves with the cream on their plates, and they didn't even notice her approaching. They were startled when they suddenly heard her voice.
The two beasts turned around at the same time, and Rinchet hid his hands behind his back, with white cream on the corners of his lips.
Ye Zheng subconsciously took a step forward to block the things behind him. His expression was much more natural than Lin Che's, and he showed no guilt at all. If you ignored the cream on the tip of his nose, Bai Zhaoyan could believe that he had done nothing.
"Hehe." Lin Che grinned, his eyes rolling around, as if thinking about how to avoid this disaster, "Zhao Yan, you're back so soon. The cake is already steamed."
Ye Zheng raised his hand to pick up her backpack, and Bai Zhaoyan took the opportunity to break free, pushed the two of them apart, and squeezed over to take a look.
There was still a lot of ice in the barrel, and the bowl of whipped cream inside was now empty.
Bai Zhaoyan: “…”
Seeing this, Lin Che quickly tried to argue, his words weak and without much confidence, "Zhao Yan, if I said that the cream would melt as soon as you left, would you believe it?"
Bai Zhaoyan turned her head, touched his lips with her thumb, and showed him the cream on her fingertips. "Did it melt in your mouth?"
"Ah." Lin Che's pupils trembled, and he licked the corner of his lips with the tip of his tongue, "Is it gone now?"
What a good trick.
On the other side, Ye Zheng subconsciously touched his lips. They were clean and there was no cream on them. He felt relieved.
"Zhao Yan, I tried to persuade Lin Che, but he insisted on having sex."
Bai Zhaoyan wiped the cream off her fingertips, turned around and slapped Ye Zheng on the arm. Ye Zheng shrank his neck but did not move, letting her hit him.
Lin Che felt a sense of betrayal, but after seeing Zhao Yan beat him up, he barely calmed down and snorted, "If you want to alienate Zhao Yan and me, wipe the cream off your nose first."
"You're still talking." Bai Zhaoyan was not satisfied and turned around to twist Lin Che's ear.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I know I was wrong."
Ye Zheng barely got a chance to catch his breath and coughed lightly, "Zhao Yan, it was Cream who seduced us first."
The orcs had a keen sense of smell and had never seen cream before, so they couldn't help but exclaim at the aroma.
Ye Zheng felt a little annoyed. Yao Ze was so lucky.
He should be allowed to eat the food that none of them have eaten before.
Lin Che also stared at the cream and swallowed his saliva. The two of them decided to eat it first as a show of respect.
Bai Zhaoyan reluctantly let go and turned the bowl over to look at the little cream left inside. "Why are you so greedy today?"
Lin Che chuckled again, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "It smells too good, I can't help it."
Ye Zheng tilted his head slightly to look at her, "Are you angry?"
It would be petty to get angry about this matter. Fortunately, I still have the materials I bought and can prepare a new one.
Bai Zhaoyan instructed Lin Che to whip the cream and had Ye Zheng wash, split, peel and cut the cantaloupe into small pieces. She then unmolded the cake.
The two beasts didn't dare to mess around anymore and worked diligently to make lunch. Bai Zhaoyan divided the cake into three pieces, spread jam on one layer, put some cantaloupe chunks on top, and began to spread cream on the surface.
She smoothed it as smooth as possible, placed cantaloupe on top to decorate it, carved a silly eagle out of the cantaloupe rind, and finally wrote "Happy Birthday" with blueberry jam.
Ye Zheng took a moment to look over, pursed his lips, and pointed at the eagle made of melon rind. "It doesn't look like Yao Ze, it looks like Lin Che. Too stupid."
Lin Che got furious when he heard that and turned around with the spatula in hand, "Ye Zheng, are you asking for a beating?!"
"So what?" Ye Zheng stood beside Bai Zhaoyan, not panicking at all. He was sure that Lin Che wouldn't dare to cause trouble.
Lin Che gritted his teeth in hatred, tightened the spatula in his hand, and complained pitifully to Bai Zhaoyan, "Zhaoyan, look at him!"
