by VolareChapter 61: Dessert Extravaganza
“Oh my, little brother, what brings you here to see me today? This is a rare occurrence! And you’re even alone.” Lin Pianyue looked at the solitary Li Lingyu with surprise. Li Lingyu lowered his head slightly, a hint of embarrassment and helplessness on his face, and softly replied, “I… I had a fight with him last night.”
Hearing this, Lin Pianyue couldn’t help but become curious and quickly asked, “What happened? Tell your sister all about it.” So, Li Lingyu mustered his courage and continued, “He met a new friend, and then he even suggested taking a bath with that person.” Lin Pianyue was stunned at first, and then couldn’t help but burst out laughing, “Hahahaha, just because of that? No, no, I need a moment to recover. You’re really jealous.”
Li Lingyu appeared even more dejected at this moment. He sighed and said, “But he doesn’t understand why I’m angry at all, and when I think about it myself, it seems like I don’t have any right to be angry.” Seeing Li Lingyu’s pitiful appearance, Lin Pianyue felt a pang of sympathy. She gently patted Li Lingyu’s shoulder and comforted him, “Don’t be so downcast. Jiang Xianchuan can be a bit slow sometimes, but you can’t completely blame him, can you? It’s really hard on you. How about this, let your clever sister help you figure it out and see if we can come up with a good way to resolve this matter.”
Lin Pianyue frowned slightly, thoughtfully silent for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, “Hey, how about this, tomorrow I’ll prepare a grand dessert extravaganza, and also add some delicious barbecue and other delicacies. Everyone in our camp can come and join this joyful gathering. When the time comes, you must bring Jiang Xianchuan along, and don’t forget to invite his newly acquainted friend too.”
“Um… then what next?”
Lin Pianyue patted her chest confidently and continued, “Hehe, after that, you just need to be responsible for taking good care of Jiang Xianchuan, and leave the rest to your sister to handle with confidence!”
After listening to Lin Pianyue’s words, Li Lingyu turned around and walked back. When he returned to his residence, he saw Jiang Xianchuan with an anxious look on his face, staring eagerly at the door. As soon as he saw Li Lingyu’s figure appear, he immediately rushed over like a cheerful little bird.
“Yubao, you’re finally back! Although I really don’t know which of my actions accidentally upset you, no matter what, it’s all my fault, I’m sorry!” As he spoke, Jiang Xianchuan’s watery eyes were filled with guilt and unease, looking at Li Lingyu pitifully.
Li Lingyu sighed helplessly, reached out and gently stroked Jiang Xianchuan’s soft hair, and comforted him in a gentle tone, “It’s okay, don’t take it to heart, it’s really not a big deal. Sister Pianyue invited us to taste the desserts she made tomorrow, do you want to go together?”
Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan’s originally dim eyes instantly brightened, a brilliant smile bloomed on his face, and he nodded excitedly, hastily replying, “Yes, yes, of course, I want to go! It’s so great to be able to enjoy desserts with Yubao and Sister Pianyue!”
The next morning, the sunlight shone through the thin clouds onto the earth, and a gentle breeze brought a hint of coolness. Li Lingyu, with a smile on his face, held Jiang Xianchuan’s soft, boneless hand and went together to the lively dessert extravaganza.
When they arrived, they saw a throng of people, and all kinds of delicious desserts were dazzling, making people’s mouths water. At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan spotted Shi Yi, who was busy at work.
At this moment, Shi Yi was concentrating on stewing a pot of fragrant vegetable and sparerib soup. The ingredients in the pot were tumbling with the heat, emitting an enticing aroma.
“Shi Yi, you’re here too!” Jiang Xianchuan greeted excitedly.
Shi Yi raised her head, saw that it was Jiang Xianchuan and Li Lingyu, and a bright smile immediately bloomed on her face: “Yes, the vegetables I grew myself just happened to ripen, so I picked some to stew spareribs, you must try it later!”
Jiang Xianchuan nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of anticipation: “Okay, remember to call me when it’s ready!”
Just as the two were chatting enthusiastically, a familiar voice came: “Jiang Xianchuan, what a coincidence.” It turned out to be Jiang Xianchuan’s newly acquainted friend, A Zhan.
When Jiang Xianchuan saw A Zhan, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sweet smile: “A Zhan, it’s really a coincidence!”
A Zhan looked curiously at Li Lingyu, who was standing next to Jiang Xianchuan, and asked, “Hmm? Who is this?”
Li Lingyu put his arm around Jiang Xianchuan’s shoulder without hesitation and proudly introduced, “This is my important friend.”
Hearing this answer, A Zhan was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly: “I see, I understand.”
A Zhan was just about to pull Jiang Xianchuan aside to chat for a few words when suddenly, a coquettish voice rang out: “I’ve never seen this little brother before, how about accompanying your sister for a stroll?” Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Pianyue walking over with swaying posture. She unceremoniously grabbed A Zhan’s arm, not giving A Zhan the slightest chance to refuse, and dragged him into the crowd.
Before leaving, Lin Pianyue also winked mischievously at Li Lingyu, seemingly hinting at something.
“Sister Pianyue is as enthusiastic as ever.” Jiang Xianchuan sighed. At this moment, Li Lingyu’s thoughts were all immersed in A Zhan just now. “What’s wrong, Yubao?” “Are you and him, in a very good relationship?”
Li Lingyu’s jealousy was instantly ignited. His gaze was fixed on the direction where A Zhan and Lin Pianyue had left, his eyebrows tightly knitted into a frown.
Jiang Xianchuan noticed Li Lingyu’s expression, and a sly smile couldn’t help but appear on the corner of his mouth as he teased, “Oh, are you jealous?”
Li Lingyu glared at Jiang Xianchuan somewhat angrily and stubbornly said, “No way.”
“Okay, okay.” Jiang Xianchuan, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face, softly comforted, “A Zhan is just a friend I just met, how can he compare to you in my heart?”
However, Li Lingyu’s mood did not improve because of Jiang Xianchuan’s explanation. He muttered secretly in his heart: “I don’t believe it…”
Just then, a fragrant aroma wafted through the air, like an invisible hand, interrupting the two’s conversation. Jiang Xianchuan excitedly clapped his hands and cheered, “Wow, it smells so good! It seems like Shi Yi’s spareribs are almost ready! Let’s go, let’s eat spareribs!”
