Su Ye was carrying a basket of fruit and a bouquet of flowers, the standard setup for visiting a patient.
The door opened, and Su Ye, without even seeing who it was, said, "Your Highness, my junior sister... oh? Junior sister?"
Mu Run stared intently at the fruit basket he was carrying, especially the fruit inside, each one looking fresh and juicy. This basket would cost at least a thousand gold coins in the supermarket. She had wanted to buy some when she went to the supermarket last time, but before she had any income, she had to be careful with her living expenses, so she only bought discounted fruit on sale.
"Hello, Su, please come in. What are you bringing? You're too kind," Mu Run greeted her warmly, and even reached out to take the fruit basket.
Su Ye was a little stunned by Mu Run's enthusiasm. "Are you cured?"
"I'm feeling better," Mu Run replied, carrying a fruit basket that weighed at least 25 pounds. She was particularly pleased to see a watermelon in the middle of the basket.
"Come in and sit wherever you like." Mu Run carried the fruit basket into the kitchen, not giving Su Ye a second glance throughout the entire process.
Su Ye realized that Mu Run liked fruit, and it just so happened that he had brought something she liked.
"Junior sister, where is His Highness?"
"He... is sleeping."
"Oh, no wonder he didn't reply when I contacted him."
She had shut him down... Mu Run placed the mille-feuille red bean pastry and mint lemon tea she had made on the coffee table.
Su Ye has always been taking nutritional supplements, occasionally eating fruit, and rarely eating snacks.
Looking at the snow-white flaky pastry dotted with honey-colored red beans, I suddenly felt a bit hungry. "What is this?"
"The thousand-layer red bean pastry is sweet, and it goes best with black tea. Unfortunately, the black tea in the supermarket is not very good, so I paired it with a cup of herbal tea made with mint and lemon. You can try it."
Su Ye picked up his teacup and took a sip.
It's refreshingly sour and invigorating, making you feel relaxed and refreshed from the inside out. "Delicious!"
Then he drank the whole glass.
Mu Run said, "I'll go pour you another glass."
"Thank you," Su Ye replied without ceremony, then picked up a piece of the thousand-layer red bean pastry and took a bite... crispy, sweet, and with an unforgettable aftertaste!
"The dim sum was also exceptionally delicious; I've never had anything like it before. I never knew you had such excellent dim sum skills."
“I just know how to make it, I’m not that good at it. And this is a traditional dim sum, you may not eat it often, so it feels particularly different.”
Nowadays, most pastries are Western-style, while traditional pastries are either unavailable or poorly made. Hers is made using an ancient method, and the taste is absolutely authentic, something he had never tasted before.
"No need to be so modest, it's good, it's good. But, who did you learn this skill from?"
I learned it from the royal chef! Of course, Mu Run couldn't tell him the truth. "I grew up eating at many different homes in District 11. To survive, I naturally had to work for others. One of the old ladies who sold pastries was very kind and taught me how to make pastries."
"And what about your spaceship piloting skills?"
"What?" Mu Run was stunned.
After finishing the thousand-layer red bean pastry in his hand, Su Ye picked up another piece and continued eating. "It's about controlling His Highness's spaceship and killing Gou Teng."
"Of course, His Highness taught me," Mu Run replied earnestly, his eyes unwavering.
...His ability to lie through his teeth is comparable to His Highness's. Su Ye ate the increasingly delicious mille-feuille red bean pastry in his hand and drank a cup of honey mint lemon tea. "In the future, if His Highness breaks up with you, you may consider me."
