Chapter 1731: Chapter 1731: Zaizai Wants to Bake a Cake
"Then let me tell you the story of Yue Fei..."
After only a few sentences, the little girl fell sound asleep.
Seeing her fall asleep so quickly, Hua Jinyan chuckled softly and gently covered her with the blanket, "You were obviously very tired."
He put her phone in the drawer and turned off the light.
A dreamless night, Little Taotie was awakened by the chirping birds outside the window, eyes wide open, "When did I fall asleep?"
She hadn’t even finished listening to the story of Yue Fei!
She sat up abruptly, searching for her phone, but couldn’t find it.
Hua Jinyan was already awakened by her movement and opened his eyes to look at her, "It’s in the bedside drawer."
Little Taotie immediately opened the drawer and took out the phone.
"What time is it?" Hua Jinyan asked.
"It’s five o’clock," Little Taotie yawned, "Can you continue the story? I fell asleep before it finished."
"I’ll tell you tonight."
Little Taotie hummed twice, not giving him a hard time, and got out of bed to wash up.
When Little Taotie came back, Hua Jinyan was still nestled in bed.
Little Taotie puffed up angrily and started to stir, "No more sleeping, get up, get up, early bird catches the worm!"
Hua Jinyan kept his eyes closed, letting her tickle him, "I don’t like eating worms."
Little Taotie froze for a moment, "Early little friends get breakfast!"
Hua Jinyan turned over with his eyes closed, back facing her, "Then I won’t have breakfast."
"How come? If you don’t get up, who’s going to make breakfast for me?"
Little Taotie stomped her feet angrily, "Fine, I’ll make it myself!"
Seeing her dart out, Hua Jinyan slowly got up and followed.
Just saw Little Taotie seemed to be looking around the Ancient Castle.
An elderly man carrying coffee asked curiously, "Up so early? What are you looking for?"
Little Taotie: "Looking for ingredients for breakfast!"
"You’re cooking?"
Little Taotie nodded energetically, "Do you want a serving?"
The elderly man nodded with a smile, "If there’s extra, please give me one."
The elderly man noticed Hua Jinyan peeking from the corner and laughed, "Didn’t expect the castle’s mouse to be so dirty, coming out looking for food without cleaning up."
Little Taotie looked around, pulling out a small pink shovel, "Where is it?"
"You’re not afraid of mice?"
"Not afraid!"
"Wow, quite bold, but too bad, it’s already run away."
Hua Jinyan had already hurried back to the room to wash up.
When he came out again, he was dressed neatly with his messy hair neatly combed.
The elderly man took a sip of coffee, "Hmm, the mouse cleaned up."
Hua Jinyan: "..."
Little Taotie was battling with flour, her pretty little face turned into a little flower cat, white patches everywhere.
"What are you planning to make?" Hua Jinyan asked as he approached.
Little Taotie hummed, "Guess!"
"Buns?"
"Cake! I’m making cake!"
Hua Jinyan looked skeptical.
Such firm dough, are you sure it’s for cake?
"Are you doubting my ability?" Little Taotie pouted angrily.
Hua Jinyan touched his nose, "Can I help with anything?"
Little Taotie waved her flour-covered hands, causing flour to fly, "Don’t mess around, go play somewhere else, you’ll get a piece when it’s done."
Hua Jinyan: "..."
The elderly man chuckled, "Stop bothering her, come sit over here."
Hua Jinyan helplessly sat next to the elderly man.
The elderly man handed him a cup of hot milk, "Drink."
Hua Jinyan looked at the hot milk, then at Little Taotie, and the elderly man smiled, "She’s already had hers."
Only then did Hua Jinyan start sipping the milk.
People heading to work began arriving at the Ancient Castle, and they saw Little Taotie diligently kneading dough, all stepping forward to ask what she was making.
