Chapter 67 Trapped in the Snow
The small dough balls are fully expanded in the high temperature of the oven, and their color changes from light to dark, showing an attractive caramel color.
An Zhi carefully picked one up, showing his little teeth, and took a big bite.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!
When you hold it in your hand, Koluli feels like a small piece of dark chocolate, but the outer wall is only a thin layer, and it turns into crispy pieces and melts away at the slightest touch.
The inside is moist, soft, and pudding-like, with an airy and chewy texture and a strong vanilla flavor.
It's like a big mouthful of warm ice cream!
An Zhi's eyes were almost turning into stars. He ate mouthful after mouthful, his cheeks bulging, and mumbled:
"Brother, each of you cut one, I'll cut one, Gu Shushu cut one, I'll cut one..."
Perhaps because the cub was enjoying the meal, the little locks of hair he had just tied up moved up and down with his movements.
Gu Jinyan suppressed the urge to touch her and said calmly, "If you like it, we'll do it next time."
“Okay!”

Capital Star, a planet with distinct four seasons.
It is located in an orbit outside the star and is currently on the star's farthest tropic.
It was the middle of winter, and under the leaden sky, heavy snow like goose feathers was flying all over the sky, covering the towering buildings and wide streets with a thick layer of silver.
The Light Chaser landed smoothly at the Kas Airport on the capital planet.
Gu Changfeng walked down the gangway, and the biting cold wind blowing in his face made him subconsciously straighten his military uniform.
He was used to all kinds of harsh environments, and this little wind and snow was just like mint tea with ice cubes to him, refreshing him.
But when he looked back at the gangway, his eyes softened.
Gu Jinyan carefully walked down holding An Zhi's hand.
The little girl was wrapped in a thick, custom-made cape that made her look like a soft white ball of fluff.
Ever since receiving the signal that the imperial capital was approaching, Gu Jinyan has been taking care of An Zhi every step of the way.
He made sufficient preparations, fearing that An Zhi would be disturbed.
Gu Changfeng felt very curious. On the capital star where legion headquarters are everywhere, could there be any security force stronger than this one?
Gu Jinyan lowered his head and warned: "An An, it's cold outside, don't run around."
An Zhi's little head popped out from the cloak, and his round eyes looked around curiously.
She had never seen such a pure white scene, and everything in front of her was full of novelty to her.
The white snowflakes swirled in the air and gently fell on her eyelashes, bringing a cool touch.
An Zhi couldn't help but stretch out his gloved little hands, trying to catch the dancing white elves.
However, the moment she actually stepped out of the cabin and into the open air, a bone-chilling cold wind whistled through her cloak.
The cub's tiny body trembled violently.
She had never felt such a bone-chilling cold before, a stark contrast to the constant warmth within the starship.
“Woo…”
An Zhi was choked by the wind and snow that was full of ice chips. His little face wrinkled instantly and his nose turned red from the cold.
She immediately let go of Gu Jinyan's hand, turned around, and her small body involuntarily shrank towards Gu Jinyan, making small, somewhat aggrieved humming sounds as she shrank.
Gu Jinyan felt warm in his heart when he saw An Zhi clinging to him because of the cold, but he was also a little amused.
He had long anticipated that An Zhi would not be able to adapt to the low temperatures here, so he specially prepared several sets of winter clothes.
He bent down and took out a thicker, softer fur coat from his backpack, and skillfully wrapped the little white furry ball more tightly.

The hovercraft shuttled through the wind and snow, driving steadily towards the heart of the capital planet.
An Zhi half-knelt on the seat, looking at the heavy snow outside through the window.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the road was covered with white.
An Zhiha took a deep breath and drew a smiley face on the glass.
"Uncle Gu, where are we going now?"
An Zhi raised her little face and asked in a soft voice.
Gu Changfeng glanced at An Zhi through the rearview mirror with a gentle smile in his eyes:
"We're going to the palace."
"The Imperial Palace?"
An Zhi's eyes immediately lit up, and a look of longing appeared on his little face.
She repeated the word softly, as if it were some distant dream.
In the fairy tales she had read, the palace was always magnificent, with kings and princesses living in it, and it was full of magic and adventures.
She tilted her head, imagined what the palace looked like, and hummed a song from a fairy tale book softly.
Gu Jinyan felt the little girl's excitement and patted her back gently:
"The palace is big and beautiful. An An will like it."
However, when the hovercraft was about to enter the outskirts of the palace area, a rapid alarm suddenly came from the internal communicator.
"Mr. Gu, urgent notice! The central energy hub has experienced a sudden malfunction. All access is temporarily closed. Emergency maintenance and safety checks are underway!"
The communicator's voice was a little flustered.
Gu Changfeng's face darkened instantly, and he immediately picked up the communicator:
"What's going on? Has the specific cause been determined? When is recovery expected?"
"The specific cause is unknown, but it's suspected to be a chain reaction caused by an internal circuit overload. Recovery time... cannot be determined at the moment, it may take several hours, or even longer. Senior management is handling it urgently." The communicator said anxiously.
Gu Changfeng pondered for a moment. This situation had not occurred for several years.
The last time the line was overloaded was last time.
The flow of people in the central area is actually not large, but the reports often show that the lines are overloaded.
After so many years, no reason has been found.
They are all old guys.
But, what a coincidence, why did it happen today?
"Stay where you are." Gu Changfeng opened the terminal and quickly sent a few messages.
He looked at Gu Jinyan and shook his head helplessly: "It seems that I can't enter the palace for the time being."
An Zhi couldn't understand the adults' conversation, so she looked out the car window.
Heavy snow covered many buildings on the street, and an area blocked by cordons could be vaguely seen in front.
The imperial palace appeared hazy in the mist, as if blocked by an invisible barrier.
The cub's little face was filled with confusion and a hint of barely perceptible disappointment.
The palace in fairy tales always seems so far away and out of reach.
Gu Jinyan touched An Zhi's head comfortingly and said softly, "It's okay, An An, we'll go back later. Can we go in after they've repaired it?"
The palace will not run away."
An Zhi nodded, her face blushing a little embarrassedly.
She didn't know where the sudden feeling of regret in her heart came from.
It became so big in an instant.
Like a small grass sprouting quickly in my heart.
The cub tilted his head in confusion and whispered to himself to comfort himself.
