Chapter 29: A Dinner at the Bakery and a Meeting of Two Children
Unfortunately, no matter how hard the students on the forum tried, they couldn't hook him up. Apart from attending classes or training, they could only hope to chat with him briefly when he was working part-time.
Today the bakery was closed and there was not even a rabbit to be seen.
Of course they couldn't catch the clever Rabbit King.
Because at this time, Youan was lying outside the bakery kitchen, twitching his nose like a puppy, sniffing the aroma of food.
Ji Qiao specially closed the shop today and prepared a table of delicious dishes to congratulate this hardworking employee for winning the competition.
Yuan felt a little embarrassed, so he told Lancelot, who had a full afternoon class, and came to the store early to help.
Although he was supposed to help, the only job assigned to Youan was small things like setting the table. He soon wandered around the house with nothing to do.
Just as he rolled up his sleeves and tried to step into the kitchen area, the doorbell rang and Youan's eyes lit up.
"I'll do it! I'll open the door!" He was afraid that someone else would snatch it away, so he almost ran over.
Outside the door, Enzo had just entered his iris to unlock the door, and the moment he pushed it open, he caught a glimpse of a rabbit-headed cannonball rushing towards him.
He dodged in time with an expressionless face, allowing a smiling guy behind him to hit the bull's eye.
"God, you have a hard head."
Lancelot was knocked back a few steps and subconsciously reached out to hold the other person.
Youan covered his forehead and apologized honestly: "I'm sorry."
He wanted to ask why he had arrived so early, but when he looked up, he saw a little bunny head poking out from between a pair of huge triangular ears. It called out to him sweetly, "Brother! I'm here to eat!"
Indeed, today's meal is delicious.
Lancelot naturally took the gift and went to the kitchen to express his gratitude to Ji Qiao, the chef.
This polite gentleman's appearance caused Enzo to sneer contemptuously: "Loading."
Lancelot smiled and said "Excuse me" to Ji Qiao, then raised his fist and hit Enzo in the face.
Then, Ji Qiao, with a helpless look on his face, drove the two out of the kitchen. He waved his hand in disdain, just like treating cats and dogs: "Go away..."
You An walked around the two second-year students from the Operations Department who had suddenly started fighting, and took You Tuantuan to the staff lounge, which would be their dining venue for tonight.
In the past, You Tuantuan liked to lie on the bay window sill to bask in the sun. Sometimes she would face the sky with her four paws, sometimes she would lie flat on her back, and in short, she would toss over and over to get herself warm.
Unfortunately, today, a rather sturdy tiger cub was curled up in the sunlight, occupying most of the bay window sill.
Its thick and sturdy hind legs, like Roman columns, were resting on the edge of the windowsill. Its two big, thick paws were holding the tip of its tail and rubbing it, and gurgling sounds kept coming out of its throat. It was obvious that it was sleeping soundly.
This tiger cub is none other than Asea, the child of Enzo's eldest sister, and the only child of the latest generation of the Plankin family. He occasionally comes to the store and walks around like a mascot.
At this time, Asaiah squinted his eyes comfortably, stretched out while lying on his side, and then smacked his lips while resting his head on the flower petal cushion. He also wore a small hat on his head to block the sun, and a colorful windmill was inserted on the top of the hat, which was blown by the wind coming in through the window.
You Tuantuan noticed it immediately, jumped over bravely, stood up, and stared at the small windmill intently.
Want to touch it.
But this belongs to someone else.
So You Tuantuan stretched out his little paws and pawed them lightly in the air, as if that would satisfy him.
As if sensing something, the snoring stopped abruptly, and the golden-brown animal eyes suddenly opened, meeting the gaze of the small ball in front of it.
You Tuan Tuan blinked nervously, and then exploded into a chestnut sea urchin with a "bang".
The tiger and the rabbit stared at each other quietly for a moment, both in a daze, until You Tuantuan shyly twisted her butt and prepared to retreat.
Unfortunately, just as he was about to turn around and run to his brother's arms, a chubby big paw suddenly came over and easily pushed him away -
“Hmm!”
Help!
The bunny bus flipped over!
The whole rabbit, You Tuantuan, was turned over with its four paws facing the sky, like a piece of mochi with cream filling squeezed out, revealing its fluffy white belly.
In short, very inelegant!
Asaiah tilted his head and blinked, remaining silent for a long time. He raised one of his tiger claws and gestured at the fur ball twice, then suddenly howled urgently.
"Qiao Qiao, come quickly, come quickly, come quickly—Brother Youan has shrunk!"
Ji Qiao didn't come, but someone hit his head with a "bang", and a disgusting voice fell on his head.
"Silly or not, he's Youan's younger brother, You Tuantuan." Lancelot dug the frightened little rabbit ball out from under the tiger's claws and returned it to Youan. He turned around and ordered, "Go, get a bottle of drink."
If the most feared person of this aggressive young master of the Plankin family is his uncle, Count Plankin, then the second person must be Lancelot.
For example, if a child was too naughty at home, at most he would be spanked by his dear uncle the Earl. But if Lancelot caught him, he would cross his arms and watch the whole process with a smile. Then he would rub his child's head and comfort him softly until he was almost calm. Then he would suddenly take out the secretly taken photos and comment, "Look, you cry so ugly."
"Bad fox."
Asaiah stamped his paws with great vigor, twisted his tail and ran away angrily.
Lancelot sighed, "Who on earth did he get this wobbly pigeon-toed gait from?"
You An stroked You Tuan Tuan's fur, and when he heard the thumping footsteps going away, he said seriously, "Don't bully Asaiah, he's a good kid."
"A good baby won't wipe his hands on someone else's tail after playing in the mud." Enzo chuckled, pulled out a chair and sat down opposite them.
Lancelot propped his chin with one hand, lifted a strand of hair, and shook it up and down in front of You Tuantuan, saying nonchalantly, "At least I should be thankful that he won't stuff his mud claws into people's mouths anymore."
Youan immediately fell into deep thought. Could it be that the tiger cub who stood in front of him with his hands behind his back, asking obediently if he could help check his homework... was fake?
Before the Tiger Cub Persecutors Alliance (only two of them) in the house could recall some sad memories, the sound of footsteps came back.
Asaiah transformed his form and inherited the excellent appearance genes of the Plankin family, looking like a sweet little angel. Of course, this is only true when he is asleep.
He had a head of fluffy, messy golden curls and ran over with a bottle of sparkling juice. His two semicircular ears twitched amidst the curls as he stood in front of Lancelot in a strutting manner. "Here you go!"
"Service to the end, young master."
Lancelot tapped his cup with a smile.
With a look of "I'm not happy to serve you" written all over his face, Asaiah unscrewed the cork, stood on tiptoe, and carefully poured the juice into the cup.
Small bubbles sizzled as the light pink liquid poured into the cup. Lancelot raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised that not a drop was spilled.
“Hmph.”
Asaiah puffed out his chest proudly, changed direction and ran to Youan, staring straight at the little rabbit ball on the table.
You Tuantuan covered his ears with his hands, quickly lifted Youan's hand to cover himself, opened his dark eyes, and looked at the other person through his fingers.
"Hello, Tuantuan. My name is Asaiah Plankin... I'm sorry I scared you just now..." Asaiah rested his chin on the table, thought for a moment, and then said quietly, "How old are you? I'm seven. I like watching the Bottle Genie and collecting rabbit dolls..."
Speaking of rabbit dolls, Asaiah ran off, and under You Tuantuan's curious gaze, he brought back a stuffed rabbit wearing a patrolman's uniform. "This is the doll. Does it look good?"
You Tuantuan nodded imperceptibly.
Asaiah placed the doll on the table and pushed it over to compare. "You're so small, but so cute. Cuter than all the bunny dolls in my house combined."
You Tuantuan blinked.
Asaiah looked at the doll, then at him, and smiled with his eyes curved: "But you are not a toy, you are a cute little rabbit, hehe..."
The household robots brought up the fragrant meals fresh out of the pot one after another. It seemed that the meal was about to begin. Asaiah mumbled a lot, but the little rabbit still had no intention of talking. He couldn't help but stand there feeling a little frustrated.
The robot poked his head with its cold little round hand, signaling him to make way for the serving area.
Asaiah could only return to his seat dejectedly, with his head drooped, scratching the tablecloth with his fingers.
Suddenly, a warm and plush feeling wrapped around my fingertips.
"Hmm?"
Asaiah looked up and found that You Tuantuan had jumped in front of him at some point.
You Tuantuan's two little paws were holding his fingers and shaking them friendly, and the rabbit tail behind his butt kept twisting, looking quite happy.
Asaiah opened his eyes wide, and suddenly he felt that there were small flowers blooming behind him.
The rest of the people didn't notice the interaction between the two children because the delicious dishes had attracted all their attention.
Ji Qiao’s cooking skills are not exaggerated. There is no dish on the table that is not appetizing.
Steamed sea fish lay on a double-handled porcelain plate, drizzled with a light layer of oil and shredded green onions. Braised pork and soft potatoes were stewed together, glossy and tender in a rich sauce. The crisp, green side dishes were fresh produce from the farm, and Asaiah helped pick small mushrooms (poisonous varieties were carefully selected) and white pine grouse, making a delicious soup. The broth was golden, clear, and fragrant. The meat could even be used to make noodles or boiled tofu!
Youan ate four fried chicken wings silently, and when he saw the golden crispy crumbs on the plate, he picked them up with his fingers and put them into his mouth and slurped them away quickly.
His little action was not caught by a certain noble, because the other party was politely apologizing to Ji Qiao that he had to leave first.
Enzo knew he needed to go home, but considering how he'd been wanting to stuff Youan in his pocket lately, he raised an eyebrow in surprise: "I thought you'd be more worried about his colleagues."
"I can't imagine how lustful a person can be to have sexual thoughts about his colleagues." Lancelot raised the corners of his lips nonchalantly, his eyes subconsciously glancing at the dwarf rabbit orc who was still sitting at the table.
After finishing half a portion of pork elbow, five pieces of fried shark's fin, two bowls of crab meat rice and some pork ribs side dishes, Youan finally put down his bowl and took a bag of yogurt to eat.
He inserted a straw and took three sips, but didn't throw it away. He bit the straw and blew air into it. The deflated paper bag quickly bulged, and he puffed out his cheeks and inhaled and exhaled, having a lot of fun.
Lancelot's smile froze, and he walked over and knocked him on the head: "Throw it away quickly after you finish drinking it."
Youan said "Oh", licked the shiny water stains on his lips, and handed it to the housekeeping robot along with the other empty boxes. He turned around and saw that Lancelot had already picked up his coat.
"Are you leaving?" You An glanced at the garlic-flavored crispy bones on the table calmly, wiped his mouth, and said, "I'll take you there."
Lancelot raised his eyebrows, pinched his chin, turned his face around, and reminded him with a smile: "When you say this, you should at least look at me, right?"
You An blinked and pursed his lips: "Do you still want me to see you off?"
"I understand. Continue eating yours." Lancelot laughed softly and touched You Tuantuan who was demonstrating to everyone how to eat fried shrimp balls in one bite.
Soon, the aircraft waiting behind the bakery hurried away. Youan stood at the window with the bowl in his hand and waved slowly.
Asaiah was wearing a pair of denim blue overalls today with a semicircular pocket on the chest, which was just big enough to hold You Tuantuan. He then took the new passenger on the Tiger Cub Bus for a run and jump, taking him for a ride.
"Eat cake! I just learned that!"
Ji Qiao was determined to feed everyone tonight, and he entered the house carrying a fruit cake with carved cream, which looked very similar to the one Youan had picked up.
Youan walked around the cake, his eyes shining, and his furry ears were illuminated by the candlelight, giving them a soft luster.
The colleagues clumsily fired the salute, and Athea shouted and asked Enzo why he didn't pull the banner while picking up the ribbons for You Tuantuan to play with.
Ji Qiao took a can of beer, opened it, took a sip, and asked Youan to blow out the candles. Youan blew very carefully, for fear that he would blow away all the good luck he had accumulated in his life.
Because he has been too happy recently, just like a dream, he is afraid that it will burst at any time like a soap bubble.
Even after leaving the bakery, Youan was still feeling a little euphoric, smacking his lips as he savored the sweet taste of the cake.
What a pity, Lancelot didn't get to eat it.
He patted his bloated belly, entered the dormitory, and habitually reached into his backpack. He was stunned for a moment, then felt around in all his pockets, and finally buried his head in his bag.
“Hmm!”
Youan looked up, his rabbit ears standing straight up from his messy hair, and his face suddenly showed an expression as if he had been struck by lightning -
ah!
My brother!
My little Tuantuan!
at the same time--
As soon as Ji Qiao returned to the Plankin family's estate, he urged Asaya, who was covered in cream, to go to the bathroom.
“Qiao Qiao… Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao…Are you really not going to help me wash?”
After being rejected when he asked Ji Qiao to give him a bath, Aseya grumbled and dragged his tail towards the room. When he reached the door, he stuck his head out and asked desperately, "Think about it again. I can sing a song for you. I just learned it."
"Your uncle is back and is in the study."
Ji Qiao leaned over and pinched his cheek, "How about I ask him to come and listen together?"
Asaiah stiffened.
"No, his taste is not very good." He shook his head with pretended regret, turned around, and quickly went into the bathroom in his slippers.
The water was running in the bathtub, and Asaiah tilted his head towards the mirror with his tail raised high.
"Hehe...I'm such an independent baby..."
After praising himself to his heart's content, he slowly unbuttoned his overalls. Just when he was halfway through, there was a slight movement in his bra pocket.
Warm and soft...
Asayana's golden brown eyes widened, and as he stared in shock, a little rabbit head popped out of his pocket and yawned delicately.
Ah! It’s Tuan Tuan!
The bathroom door opened at this moment. Asaiah looked up, with surprise still on his face, and his eyes met Ji Qiao who came to deliver pajamas.
Ah, I'm done!
