IHOEAYSTTTIW Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Well-behaved children get a small cake.

“My matter?”

The topic suddenly turned to himself, and Yun Qi quickly escaped from his previous state, his brain whirring like an engine.

The story was prepared in advance, and now he just needs to… Yun Qi took a moment to gather himself, adjusted his expression, and began reciting his lines: “My background… is a bit like the original owner’s. I have a twin brother, and my father is powerful and influential, but…”

He chuckled softly, his voice becoming increasingly bitter: “My mother suffered grievances while pregnant and became crazy. Plus, my brother and I grew more and more different. My father thought it was unlucky, so… In short, my brother and I have relied on each other for years, barely surviving with the help of the maid… aunt my mother brought.”

Lin Yan felt that Yun Qi was truly miserable. He rubbed Yun Qi’s hair and asked softly, “Do you… do you miss your brother? Do you want to go home?”

“Miss…” Yun Qi stiffened, shaking his head frantically, “I don’t want to. Before I transmigrated, the family was fighting fiercely over the inheritance. It’s better here.”

These actions, in Lin Yan’s eyes, were just a well-behaved child afraid of troubling him, so he had to suppress his desires and say with teary eyes, “This toy car is very ugly, Xiao Qi doesn’t want it.”

Lin Yan couldn’t stand seeing well-behaved children being wronged. He gave Yun Qi the last few pieces of meat and said in an even gentler voice, “You can go back, there will be a way. When that damned system appears, or…”

The vague and Ethereal wait made him irritable. Random novels and TV dramas began to take effect, and Lin Yan quickly found a direction to work towards: “Or collect all the Dragon Balls, find the treasure of the Pirate King, or something… When that time comes, I’ll take you back together.”

“Okay…”

Yun Qi felt he had worried unnecessarily.

Although this was terrible, according to this development, he didn’t have to worry about his lies being exposed, nor did he have to worry about Lin Yan leaving.

Relaxed, Yun Qi burped, and Lin Yan looked at the empty plate on the table, laughing: “Finished eating?”

“Yeah.” Yun Qi touched his stomach, nodding slightly.

Lin Yan tapped his clean nails, his fair fingers waving in front of Yun Qi’s eyes: “Isn’t it time to get a manicure?”

Yun Qi didn’t react: “What?”

“Don’t He Di Lao have manicure services?” Lin Yan touched his nails, his eyebrows raised unconsciously, “The sons in my dormitory encouraged me to get a ‘death Barbie pink’. That color…”

Lin Yan Tsk tsk twice: “Makes you look so dark.”

“Fingernails, ah.” Yun Qi barely understood. He pointed to the side, “There are henna flowers here. If big brother wants to…”

“Don’t want, don’t want.” Lin Yan shook his head like a rattle drum. “It’s not convenient for cooking.”

Yun Qi nodded slightly, obediently starting to clean up.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Lin Yan cooks, Yun Qi cleans up. This was already a consensus between the two. Lin Yan stretched and sauntered toward the kitchen, “I’m going to study that stove and see if I can make some small cakes. Eat some, sell some, and add some cream. Maybe I can…”

Lin Yan entered the kitchen, and the person obediently cleaning up immediately stopped. Facing the direction Lin Yan disappeared, he apologized softly: “I’m sorry… if you find a way to go back, I’m afraid… I won’t be able to go with you, so…”

So… can you not go?

…

A cold wind blew, and Yun Qi finally realized that something was off recently, whether it was being jealous of the cat or hoping Lin Yan would stay.

He had always been clear that his relationship with Lin Yan stemmed from a lie, and after three months of adding bricks and tiles, the lie became more and more solid. Several times he woke up in the middle of the night, feeling vaguely that the environment around him was unfamiliar, as if he had really transmigrated.

He had had such dreams before, but recently they had become more and more frequent.

He couldn’t imagine what their relationship would be like if the lie were exposed one day. Becoming strangers would be a light consequence. By that time…

The sky seemed to darken, and his head ached like needles. Yun Qi habitually rubbed his temples, forgetting that he was still holding a bowl.

“What’s wrong?” The crisp sound of shattering summoned Lin Yan from the kitchen. Yun Qi had already adjusted his expression and began cleaning up the fragments on the ground.

Yun Qi pointed to White, who was sashaying, and unhesitatingly shifted the blame: “It’s nothing, White knocked the bowl down. I’ll clean it up.”

White couldn’t speak. White could only meow.

Lin Yan looked at the twisted cat and found Yun Qi’s words even more believable. He pointed at the posing White and threatened through gritted teeth, “Causing trouble again? I’m going to stew you tonight.”

White: Meow??????

There’s no saying that Western-style cream cakes are better or worse than Chinese-style ancient cakes. It’s just that Lin Yan had been in Great Zhou for a long time and missed the taste of cream.

Great Zhou didn’t have the habit of eating cream cakes, so naturally there would be no butter or light cream for sale. Fortunately, these things were simple to make, as long as there was milk.

Heating, cooling, stirring, separating, a series of complicated operations, Yun Qi finally saw… Lin Yan put something that was not very different from milk outside.

Yun Qi had 100% trust in Lin Yan. During this period, Lin Yan had made a lot of strange things, but none of them were bad, and none of them were difficult to sell.

He just had to lend a hand when Lin Yan needed it, and bury his head in eating when the food was served.

The separated egg whites were beaten into dense bubbles, the yellow batter was mixed evenly with the egg whites, and when sent into the oven, it was still a thin liquid, but when taken out, it had become white and cute.

So much lovely.

Yun Qi quietly reached out his hand, but was slapped away by Lin Yan: “It’s not finished yet.”

Yun Qi, weak, innocent, wronged.

“Okay, okay, okay.” Lin Yan cut off a piece and stuffed it into Yun Qi’s mouth, “I didn’t make many cakes, is it good?”

“Cake is good.” Yun Qi’s eyes lit up again, nodding frantically.

“That’s fine.” Lin Yan stretched and took the ‘milk’ that was frozen outside from the courtyard, quickly stirring it. “I’ll try this cream.”

The whipped cream was dense and smooth. Lin Yan licked a small bit, nodding in satisfaction. The dense cream made people want to have a cream fight, but it was too difficult to make this cream. Lin Yan raised the spatula and put it down again, finally unable to bear to throw it.

Cream was spread on the cake base, scraped flat, shaped, and textured. Without a piping bag, Lin Yan could only make petals piece by piece with a spatula. Although it took some time, the effect was really good.

“Done.” Lin Yan circled the cake,Tsk tsk in dissatisfaction, “There’s no color at all, it’s so plain.”

Great Zhou didn’t have food coloring, but there were natural colorings that could be substituted.

Lin Yan’s gaze swept around the yard and finally landed on the cabbage in the corner of the wall.
