The nameless man's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and his eyes shone even brighter.
For some reason, Su Chen felt a burning sensation in her chest, the same feeling as when Arthur's wolf fang had just touched her skin.
She thought it was just her imagination and didn't think much of it before the two of them arrived at the event hall.
The activity hall was an antique-style pavilion, where necessities such as sugar and salt fillings were placed.
You also need the secret recipe for glutinous rice balls or yuanxiao before you can start cooking.
This secret recipe requires two people to work together to steal it.
The prizes for this event are displayed in a glass case in the center of the hall.
Su Chen looked at the glutinous rice ball ornament and was filled with fighting spirit.
Wuming, standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh as he looked at her sparkling eyes.
Su Chen glared at him and ran off to snatch the secret recipe, and Wu Ming followed suit, not to be outdone.
After the two of them fought over the recipe, they fought over the glutinous rice flour. The glutinous rice flour spilled all over Su Chen, but she didn't care about being covered in dust and dirt. She started making glutinous rice balls right away.
Wuming stopped, took out a clean towel, dampened it with water, and carefully wiped her face.
"Don't worry about me, hurry up and fry the glutinous rice balls, or we won't have any decorations left!" Su Chen stamped her feet anxiously.
"Okay." Wuming agreed quickly and began frying the glutinous rice balls with practiced ease.
"Can you cook?" Su Chen glanced at Wuming's progress and found that the glutinous rice balls he fried were golden in color without any burnt marks, as if he had practiced frying them many times before he got the hang of it.
Wuming smiled at her, "Well, I learned it when I was studying abroad. I couldn't get used to Western food and couldn't eat out often, so I had to cook for myself."
"Oh." Su Chen looked at the glutinous rice balls she had made a mess of and lowered her head without saying a word.
"Why don't you take a break? I've already fried the glutinous rice balls, I'll cook the sweet dumplings." As he spoke, Wuming took off her apron and tied it naturally around his own body. His nimble hands transformed the tattered dough balls into perfect little sweet dumplings as if by magic.
After boiling the pot, put the small glutinous rice balls in and stir them constantly with a spoon. Seeing Su Chen watching, she explained, "Stirring with a spoon can prevent the glutinous rice balls from sticking together. After the glutinous rice balls float to the surface for three or four minutes, turn off the heat. I'll leave this difficult task to you."
Su Chen listened attentively and nodded, counting the ticks on the clock. When the time came, she turned off the stove.
Su Chen and Wuming completed the task very well. Although they weren't the fastest to finish, they were at least in the top ten.
The two of them each had a Yuanxiao (sweet rice ball) and a Tangyuan (glutinous rice ball) hanging from their waists.
Su Chen pinched the chewy and soft glutinous rice ball, her face beaming with a happy smile.
"You like it that much?" Wuming poked the glutinous rice ball at her waist with his index finger.
Su Chen slapped his hand away and said irritably, "Don't you have a glutinous rice ball? Go touch yours!"
"Stingy," Wuming muttered, scoffing.
"Alright, alright, I'm going downstream now. It'll be fun when my mom drags me out of the game pod later." Su Chen waved her hand.
"Still living with your parents?" Wuming's eyes were full of mockery.
“What’s wrong? Is it not allowed? Does going to university mean I can’t live with my parents?” Su Chen said without hesitation.
"Oh, still in college?" Wuming said sarcastically.
Su Chen covered her mouth, wondering why all sorts of things were blurting out when she acted impulsively.
Su Chen waved her hand impatiently, "Alright, I'm logging off." Then she disappeared from the spot.
Wuming's arrogant expression vanished, replaced by a deep, unfathomable gaze.
