Chapter 78 Cakes

Having already moved, Lu Ran didn’t feel bad and slept on the second floor that night.

After finishing his work, he relaxed and slept soundly.

Shen Hongyuan and Mrs. Shen, who knew that he went to the second floor, were worried for most of the night.

They were afraid that as soon as they closed their eyes, they would hear a sentence: "The boundless world, my love..."

The next morning, Lu Ran packed his schoolbag and went to school.

He counted his things and was about to zip up his zipper, but his brows furrowed.

He took out the lunch box he used to put his nutrition homework from his schoolbag.

When he opened it, it was empty.

Lu Ran's face immediately sank.

Although each of the Shen family members was abnormal,

there was only one person who could do such a thing as "stealing homework".

Lu Ran stuffed the box into his schoolbag, walked out of the room and went straight up the stairs to the third floor.

When he reached the corridor on the third floor, he kicked open Shen Xingran's door and asked directly:

"Where is my homework?"

In the room, Mrs. Shen was helping Shen Xingran match clothes.

Seeing Lu Ran kicking the door in, she subconsciously took a step back, but when she heard what he said, she felt it was ridiculous:

"You can't find your homework, why do you come to Ranran? You are a college student, who would steal your homework?"

Lu Ran didn't listen to her at all, pushed him away, and rummaged around in Shen Xingran's room like a bandit.

Shen Xingran had been prepared.

But now seeing Lu Ran throwing some of her valuables on the ground like garbage, her face couldn't help but turn green.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Shen Xingran asked.

Madam Shen also muttered, "This is outrageous!"

But she just kept muttering and didn't dare to get close.

Lu Ran searched for a while and saw a snack box next to Shen Xingran's schoolbag.

He opened the box and found a row of light yellow pastries inside.

Lu Ran looked up and down and accurately picked out one of the pastries with a puppy pattern printed on it.

"Found it, my homework." He said.

Shen Xingran looked at her with a look of laughter and tears, and looked at Madam Shen again: "Mom, isn't this my pastry?"

As he said that, he picked up a piece and took a bite to show Lu Ran.

Mrs. Shen also looked puzzled: "What's wrong with you? This is the mung bean cake I bought for Ranran yesterday. How can it be your homework?"

She pouted again and said, "If you want to eat it, just tell me directly, and I'll ask the servant to buy it for you. Why

go through so much trouble?" "What are you talking about? I said this is my homework." Lu Ran said.

Seeing him taking the cake and leaving, Shen Xingran got a little anxious.

He looked at Mrs. Shen aggrievedly and said, "Mom...that's what you queued up to buy for me."

Mrs. Shen softened her heart immediately.

She stood up like an old hen protecting her cubs, pointed at Lu Ran and said, "Stop right there! Give Ranran's things back to him!"

"Bullshit! This is clearly a nutrition homework I made in the laboratory!" Lu Ran said.

Mrs. Shen immediately felt a little stage fright.

It was nothing, it was just that the psychological shadow Lu Ran had left on her was too heavy.

But when she thought about it, she was now in a room on the third floor.

It was clean everywhere, and Lu Ran didn't bring his dog.

Without a weapon, what was she afraid of!

At this time, there was some movement in the corridor.

Several people looked over.

It was Shen Xingyu.

He came up the stairs from the second floor.

His hair was a little messy, and there was still some fatigue in his eyes.

The white shirt that was usually meticulous was now open at the collar.

"What's the matter?" he asked in a deep voice.

Shen Xingyu has been very tired recently. He spent half the night moving things around. He

finally had some free time this morning, but was woken up by the noise upstairs.

Seeing Shen Xingyu coming, Madam Shen immediately lost her last bit of panic.

She pointed at Lu Ran and said, "He went crazy early in the morning and insisted on snatching Ranran's cakes, saying that they were his homework!"

Shen Xingyu frowned deeply.

"He bullies Ranran like this, and you don't do anything about it? What's going to happen if it goes on like this? He is simply lawless in the Shen family, right?"

Madam Shen's tone was aggressive.

"This is my nutrition homework, and it is due this morning."

Lu Ran said with his head down.

Shen Xingyu looked at what Lu Ran was holding in his hand, and then at Shen Xingran.

His eyes were very calm, and he didn't show a weird expression like Madam Shen when she found out that Lu Ran was holding a cake in his hand.

Under Shen Xingyu's gaze, Shen Xingran couldn't help swallowing.

At this moment, Shen Xingran was actually not sure whose side Shen Xingyu would stand on.

But after his eyes moved to Madam Shen, Shen Xingyu sighed again.

The hesitation and thought in his eyes disappeared. He

lowered his eyes to look at Lu Ran, and said: "Put it back, it's just a piece of cake, why are you fighting for it."

Madam Shen immediately showed a triumphant expression.

Shen Xingran also lowered his eyes and suppressed the smile on his lips.

Lu Ran probably didn't know that their eldest brother would never care about the truth.

Just when Madam Shen and Shen Xingran thought Lu Ran would be furious.

Lu Ran was holding the cake with a puppy pattern on it in his palm, looking at Shen Xingyu calmly, and asked:

"You said, this is a cake?"

"Don't make trouble, wait a minute I..."

Shen Xingyu was only halfway through his words when he was startled by the cake that suddenly stuck to his mouth.

"Then take a bite." Lu Ran said.

Shen Xingyu paused.

He looked up at Lu Ran.

He thought he would see grievance, anger and other emotions on the boy's face.

Unexpectedly, he only met a pair of dark, cold eyes that seemed to see through everything.

Shen Xingyu looked at the young man who had just entered college in front of him, and said to him calmly in a clear voice that belonged to young people:

"Whether this thing is Shen Xingran's pastry or my homework, you don't care at all and don't want to pursue it."

"All you think about is how to calm the incident as soon as possible so as not to disturb your work and rest."

"Because you think that Mrs. Shen's trouble will affect your working time, and I am easier to deal with. You can compensate me in your own way afterwards."

"So you choose to stand on the side of Mrs. Shen and Shen Xingran and let me return the things."

"Even if you know that the thing in my hand is probably my homework."

"Just like at the banquet that day, you also know that it was not me who pushed Master Fang."

The young man spoke for a long time.

His thinking is clear and well-organized.

Shen Xingyu was stunned at first because of the boy's address to Madam Shen.

Then, for the first time, his eyes became really serious when he looked at Lu Ran.

Finally, he didn't have that helpless look of looking at a child.

Shen Xingyu moved his lips and said harshly: "You..."

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the "pastry" in the boy's hand moved a little closer.

Shen Xingyu lowered his eyes.

Seeing the little guy who was not as tall as his thigh, he said to him with a smile:

"But Mr. Shen, there is always a price to pay for doing things. You can't just do nothing and let me be obedient."

"Let's put it this way." Lu Ran sighed, "I won't hand in this homework either. Since you said it's a pastry, then you take a bite and eat it. I promise to get out without saying a word."

This time, Shen Xingyu finally lowered his eyes and took a look at the pastry in the boy's hand.

The appearance is exquisite and printed with patterns.

It looks no different from the peach-shaped mooncakes sold in dessert shops.

Mrs. Shen and Shen Xingran also looked suspicious.

Although... because of what Lu Ran had done in the past, they were a little suspicious.

But that thing looks normal no matter how you look at it.

Shen Xingran thought the same way.

When he took this "homework" out of Lu Ran's bag last night, he also smelled it.

It looks like the aroma of normal baking pastries.

Shen Xingran paused and reached out to take the pastry.

He also hesitated for a moment.

But thinking of what Lu Ran had just said, this is a nutrition homework.

It shouldn't be something messy.

So Young Master Shen frowned slightly, opened his mouth and bit it gently.

The moment Shen Xingyu bit it.

Lu Ran sighed and began to complain: "My elective teacher is really inhuman."

"Some of the homework he gave out have extremely high nutritional content. For example, mine requires a very high protein content."

"Not only that, the laboratory's funding is very small... I have been busy for almost two weeks, trying suitable raw materials."

Shen Xingran wanted to laugh when listening to what Lu Ran said.

Why is he saying this now? Is he

really mad at Shen Xingyu?

But Lu Ran's tone suddenly became happy: "But I finally found it! I can use mealworms and Dubia cockroaches!"

What insects?

Dubia what?

The three people in the room were all confused.

Shen Xingyu, who was eating the "cake", was also stunned.

But he had already bitten down, and his teeth had closed together due to inertia.

At the moment of biting down.

He felt a slight obstruction in his teeth, and then a crisp "crack".

Then a fishy and sweet slurry burst out.

Lu Ran was still reviewing in distress:

"But, I checked, Dubia cockroaches are so expensive! But this is not a problem for me, because its close relative American cockroaches are very cheap and everywhere."

"So I caught a net bag."

American cockroach?

To be honest, at this moment, Shen Xingyu's mind was confused.

He was slowly thinking about what the professional term American cockroach was.

Slowly... He lowered his head very slowly.

He took a look at the "cake" in his hand that had been bitten.

The cute and delicate yellowish outer skin was broken, but there was no mung bean cake filling inside.

In the gap that was bitten open, the half-bitten cockroach corpse was bursting with pulp.

Next to this half corpse. There

was also a half-dead cockroach, which seemed to have finally found an exit, and poked its head out with its tentacles shaking.

And around these two cockroaches, there were countless red mealworms, twisting their bodies wildly.

Shen Xingyu just looked at the cockroach corpse in his hand and the other complete cockroach affectionately.

Until the cockroach slowly broke free from the restraints of the cake shell and crawled onto his fingers.

Shen Xingyu, who was almost petrified, suddenly threw the thing in his hand out as if he had just woken up from a dream!

Lu Ran was prepared and caught it.

He was still excited when talking about his experiment:

"Because the protein is lost rapidly at high temperatures, we only used a low-temperature shallow baking process. Look, the cockroach uncle inside is still alive!"

Shen Xingyu noticed the taste in his mouth and his face turned green.

He bent down and was about to spit out the "cake" in his mouth.

But Lu Ran raised his hand and blocked his mouth with the cake in his hand.

He said fiercely: "What are you spitting out! Who told you to spit out! Do you know that this is the recipe I spent two weeks researching!"

"You turned me into cake with just one sentence?"

"Cake, your ancestors, give it to me!"

Shen Xingyu was covered in this "cake".

Once the cake shell was broken.

The mealworms inside fell to the ground, and two cockroaches flew out.

One fell to the ground.

They were full of energy and crawled all over the ground.

One of them fell directly into the collar of Shen Xingyu's shirt.

Madam Shen screamed on the spot.

Shen Xingran's face also turned ugly.

He actually put this thing in his cake box?

He just took a cake from it and ate it?

The two of them were about to leave immediately when they saw that the situation was not good.

But they saw Lu Ran wiped his hand on Shen Xingyu's white shirt, raised his hand and kicked the door.

"Run? There's no door!"

After saying that, Madam Shen and Shen Xingran saw Lu Ran take out two identical cakes from his pocket like a magic trick.

Looking at them, he sneered: "How can I eat without you? Your share is here!"

Lu Ran ruthlessly crushed the outer shell with his hands and stuffed it into Madam Shen's mouth.

Then he turned around quickly and grabbed Shen Xingran's hair:

"Return the pastries your mother bought for you? I've been waiting for you!"

"You know I want to save credits. If I don't do something, I won't be you, Shen Xingran!"

Shen Xingran was stunned: "You, you knew..."

"Idiot! You don't think I worked in the lab for so long and only made one piece, waiting for you to steal it?"

Lu Ran smiled so hard that his eyes were crooked, "By the way, I tell you, the protein content of the pastry crust cannot be low, but I really don't have the budget, so I can only find a way to extract the bacterial corpses from animal feces and freeze them into powder to make the crust."

Before he finished speaking.

There was a dry vomit.

Shen Xingyu on the side vomited.

Now, in this big room that belongs to Shen Xingran alone, mealworms are crawling all over the floor.

Cockroaches were flying everywhere.

Some of them even laid large egg cases while flying.

Outside the door.

Shen Xingzhuo finally came home and heard some noise on the third floor. He came to check: "..."

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a group of demons dancing in the room.

His outstanding elder brother not only had a messy face, but also shook out two cockroaches from his shirt.

Shen Xingzhuo closed the door quietly.

He flew down the stairs at the fastest speed in his life and flew out of the Shen family.
