If this were told to his father and grandfather, the two old men would be so angry that they would faint.
"It's over, it's over, it's over..." Yu Seung-ho covered his head, his face filled with despair, as if World War II was about to usher in a third round of atomic bombs exploding right in front of him. "Grandpa has always disliked the Ninth Prince. He's never in a good mood when they meet. If he becomes my grandson-in-law... Oh my God, what should I do about this mess?!"
If the sternest grandfather and the most ruthless sister in the family were to fight, it would be like a world war! In the end, he and his father would suffer.
"Don't be nervous," Helan Minzhi didn't understand any of this and didn't know how to comfort him. "I think Grandma must have her reasons for making this arrangement. Maybe it's because Sister Qinglan and the Ninth Prince are in love, and Grandma is helping the lovers."
"What? Aren't they a perennial brother-sister couple?" Yu Seung-ho was still immersed in the feeling of his world being destroyed.
"What is CP?" Helan Minzhi asked.
"Xiao Susu taught me that CP means partners." Yu Seung-ho explained casually.
Helan Minzhi nodded, as if she understood. She organized her words to comfort Yu Chenghao: "Maybe they really love each other. I saw your sister Yu Qinglan go to the East and West Buildings the other day. There were many people queuing up for an appointment that day, but she got in easily."
"What did you say?!" Yu Seung-ho collapsed and yelled, "My sister actually went to take care of Helan Yinsheng's business?! Her brother is right across the street. Is it really that cruel to not enter her brother's building three times?"
Although Helan Minzhi didn't understand what he was saying, he still followed his words: "Maybe it's not about taking care of business but cultivating feelings?"
Um?!
Yu Seung-ho shuddered, "Thinking about it..."
He recalled all the strange signs her sister had shown and analyzed carefully: "It seems that my sister should like Helan Yinsheng, tsk. But if I think about it carefully, if my sister becomes the Crown Princess, then she will be my sister-in-law. No, no, that's too perverted."
He calls Helan Ruizhe "big brother", and the older sister becomes "sister-in-law", which sounds quite melodramatic.
"Forget it," Yu Seung-ho decided not to think about it anymore. He couldn't figure out why the Queen Mother would make such an arrangement. "Forget it, let's eat cake."
"Cake?" Helan Minzhi had only heard of this name at the Queen Mother's birthday party and had only eaten it once. She liked the taste very much, but she didn't know where to buy it, and the imperial chefs in the palace didn't know how to make it.
"Uh, yes, cake." Yu Seung-ho accidentally said that there was cake in the box. When will this mouth stop talking so fast?
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and open the box. Inside was a pink and tender cake. "I specially asked Xiao Susu to make this. There's only one store like this in Funing City!"
The cake is pink, with two rose-shaped cream flowers lying on it, as well as jam and fruit, and the aroma of milk wafts over the air.
Since the birthday party of the Mother of the Nation, the reputation of the cake has spread. Many people have tried to make "cake" in their own way, but all have failed.
So, in the entire city of Funing, only Jin Suting knows how to make cakes. However, because the equipment and ingredients are very scarce in this area during this season, making cakes takes a long time and the process is very complicated. Jin Suting usually doesn't make cakes for others because it takes too long, but this time, it took Yu Seung-ho's persistent pleading for her to agree, and Yu Seung-ho also found all the ingredients himself through his friends.
"Light a candle before eating the cake," Yu Seung-ho took out a thin pink candle from somewhere, inserted it next to two roses, and lit it with a match, "Make a wish!"
You should make a wish when eating cake, and making a wish on birthday cake is very effective.
She had heard this at the Nation Mother's birthday party and had always imagined that one day she would be able to make a wish like this.
Helan Minzhi stared at the jumping flames, closed his eyes, and made a wish.
"What wish did you make?" Yu Seung-ho leaned over and couldn't wait to know.
But Helan Minzhi was shy. Her face was red, and she looked particularly charming in the moonlight. "It won't work if I say it out loud."
In fact, it’s not that it won’t work if she says it out loud, but she is embarrassed to say it, embarrassed to tell the person in person that her wish is “I hope Helan Minzhi and Yu Seung-ho will be together forever”.
She has always been shy and never talks about these things.
"Okay," Yu Seung-ho knew she was shy and didn't force her to speak, "Blow out the candles!"
The candle had burned very small, and because there was very little wax, it burned very quickly. When Helan Minzhi bent down to blow out the candle, a gust of wind blew it out before she could.
She remained bent over, staring blankly at the candle that had been blown out, leaving only a small black wick. She felt like crying, blinking her big, watery eyes and saying, "It's out."
Yu Seung-ho was also stunned. He should have known not to choose such a windy and shabby place. This really spoiled the fun!
"Never mind, let's eat cake!" Yu Seung-ho waved his hand, took down the extinguished candle, and handed a spoon to Helan Minzhi.
Helan Minzhi took the spoon, looked at the pink cake, and couldn't bear to eat it.
"It's so beautiful," Helan Minzhi looked at the cake as if he were looking at an extremely precious item and wanted to collect it. "Can I not eat it?"
"Silly," Yoo Seung-ho said, not realizing how doting his smile was. "Cake is super delicious. It's meant to be eaten! No need to feel sorry for it. Just eat and drink!"
Yu Seung-ho scooped a spoonful first and put it into his mouth. Before Helan Minzhi could stop him, Yu Seung-ho had already finished chewing it.
