The two of them frolicked outside for a while.
Then they returned to the 701 Heartbeat Cottage.
The reason why Su Bai wasn't allowed to slack off was because Sun Le Yan needed him to make her lava buns!
She didn't get any money.
She still had to do hard labor!
Su Bai could only sigh repeatedly, his mouth running like a train, a real con artist!
Because of limited materials, they could only make the custard flavor.
It wasn't too difficult to make.
It was simply eggs, milk, sugar, and butter.
After mixing the filling, wrap it with flour dough, steam it, and it's done.
"Alright, it's steaming, it'll be ready to eat in ten minutes."
Su Bai placed the steamer on the stove.
One by one, the lava buns were arranged neatly, after covering them, he turned around.
He simply cleaned up a bit.
Looking at Sun Le Yan sitting on the bar stool next to him, her chin resting on her hands, her eyes glistening with anticipation.
"If you keep staring, you're going to drool all over the kitchen!"
Sun Le Yan subconsciously got up and wiped her mouth with her hand.
Her greedy thoughts were obvious.
"Didn't you eat enough on the cruise? What, you think mine is better than the food on the cruise?"
Su Bai pulled a stool and sat down next to her.
"Yes!"
Sun Le Yan nodded in agreement.
At least, in her opinion, Su Bai's cooking was better than the food on the cruise!
No! It wasn't just better, it was a hundred times better!
Su Bai chuckled.
Looking at the remaining lava bun filling.
"How about I teach you how to make something? Let's use this filling to make a small dessert."
"!!!"
Sun Le Yan immediately became interested.
She jumped off the bar stool and nodded excitedly.
"Yes, yes!"
She even took out a small notebook and a pen.
She wanted to learn and take notes at the same time.
Su Bai couldn't help but think she was taking this a little too seriously.
It's just frying a small thing.
However, he didn't refuse and started teaching her.
Heat the oil, then squeeze the filling into small balls, coat them with cornstarch and drop them into the oil, fry them for two minutes, and they're done.
"Did you remember?"
Su Bai scooped up the small fried snacks with a shiny color and asked Sun Le Yan.
She nodded while writing and drawing in her notebook.
"I got it!"
"Then you try frying two yourself first, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Okay!"
Sun Le Yan was instantly filled with fighting spirit, determined to fry them better than Su Bai on her first try.
Looking at her, Su Bai just smiled.
He could only say, wait and see!
He went to the bathroom.
Three minutes later...
When Su Bai curiously walked towards the kitchen, wanting to see how Sun Le Yan's frying was going, he suddenly widened his eyes.
...Black?!
The small balls that Sun Le Yan scooped out of the oil pan were all black, almost like charcoal!
"Whoa? You're pretty clever, little law-breaker, you can turn my milk-flavored balls into chocolate-flavored ones on your first try?"
"......"
Sun Le Yan couldn't help but close her eyes and smile in the face of it all.
How could she know that the oil temperature couldn't be controlled...
With no choice, she had to throw the task back to Su Bai.
After frying the small balls, the lava buns were also out of the steamer.
"Eat, eat, eat!"
"The deliciousness I've been waiting for is finally here!"
Sun Le Yan was jumping for joy, her hands were dancing in the air.
"Eat, eat."
Su Bai used a glove to arrange the things on a plate and smiled as he handed it to her.
Even the steam couldn't stop her hunger for a moment.
She puckered her lips and blew on it, took a bite, and it was pure bliss.
"Delicious! It's better than those from this morning!"
"Su Bai, you're amazing!"
A small ball in her left hand, a lava bun in her right.
Sun Le Yan was extremely happy.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're happy just because you're eating."
"Poor me, I didn't get any money, and I worked my tail off for you!"
Su Bai sighed in dismay.
In the end, he didn't get anything?
Unexpectedly.
Slap!
Sun Le Yan generously took out a ten yuan bill from her pocket.
"Is that enough?"
"Ten yuan? Where can you buy a basket of lava buns for ten yuan?"
Slap!
Another hundred yuan.
"Tsk, is that all?"
Su Bai showed a hint of disdain, "At most, I'll steam another basket for you later!"
"Hahaha! Okay!"
Sun Le Yan couldn't help but laugh like a silver bell, nodding repeatedly.
Then she happily continued to eat.
Soon, there was only one lava bun left in the steamer.
But Sun Le Yan was obviously satisfied.
She comfortably rubbed her tummy, but then she turned and looked at Su Bai with a silly smile.
She was already planning to order some new dishes, wanting to ask Su Bai what he could make.
Before she could speak.
Su Bai saw through her, "No way, you won't finish that much even if I make more."
"You, your mind is only filled with food, what else do you think about?"
Sun Le Yan was still pouting.
She turned and blurted out.
"You."
Her voice was clear and bright.
After realizing what she said, a blush instantly spread from her ears to her entire face.
Pink and tender, as if she had just come out of the steamer.
Before Su Bai could speak.
She didn't care anymore, she grabbed the remaining lava bun and ran upstairs without looking back.
Looking at her back.
Su Bai shook his head helplessly, a smile gradually appearing on his lips.
He started to clean up the steamer and the plates.
What was that?
He was teased?
.........
Upstairs.
Sun Le Yan covered her face, her cheeks flushed as she entered the room and lay on the bed.
She was afraid that the lava bun would stain the bed, so she held one hand high in the air, the posture was quite strange!
Ruan Mi Mi had already returned while they were steaming the lava buns.
She saw that the two were talking.
She quietly went upstairs herself without bothering them.
Turning around, she noticed Sun Le Yan's movements.
Her makeup almost trembled and got smudged.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Huh, why is your face so red, your neck is red too."
Sun Le Yan didn't say anything.
Ruan Mi Mi understood everything.
Okay, okay, it seems like the two of them were flirting!!
Immediately, her gossipy heart started to race.
"Tell me, tell me! Which one of you was flirting with the other? You're holding such a fragrant bun, did Su Bai make it for you? If you don't eat it, I'll eat it."
She walked forward a few steps, trying to grab it.
But Sun Le Yan immediately sat up and stopped her.
A possessive look.
"No, no, I'll eat it, I'll save it for midnight!"
"Why not eat it now?"
"Because I've already eaten four, this is the fifth one!"
Ruan Mi Mi's mouth opened in surprise, and then she understood!
So, it wasn't that she wasn't hungry on the cruise, but she was waiting to come back and have Su Bai cook for her.
What was that?
Torturing single dogs?!
She expressed her strong protest!
Meanwhile.
The phone dinged, today's Heartbeat message was being sent.
The Heartbeat Observation Room had started the Heartbeat message connection in advance.
Sun Le Yan immediately picked up her phone and started typing furiously.
【I'm so happy today, the lava buns are delicious, besides wanting to eat, I also really want to see you.】
Her heart pounded as she typed these words.
She kept repeating to herself in her heart,
Can I send it? Can I send it like this?
Too straightforward or not?
But thinking about how she had already said it directly, she chose to press send.
Immediately, a message came back in a tacit understanding.
【I'm very happy today too, I promise to make another basket for you tomorrow morning, little greedy bug who misses me.】
Looking at the message.
Sun Le Yan's smile couldn't be hidden any longer.
She threw down her phone and happily ate the lava bun in her hand.
Ruan Mi Mi watched her reaction, shook her head helplessly.
Didn't she just say she was saving it for later?
How come she started eating again?
Did Su Bai's message have a power to make her hungry?
Don't understand!
But she was envious.
When will she be able to have someone like Su Bai appear in her life?
—— Ah, ah, ah! Sister Yi Chen was right, these two are keeping some things for the messages, sweet, sweet, sweet!
——I'm going to be choked to death, this sweetness is off the charts!
—— I declare this the sweetest day ever!!!
—— And, these two are even having a conversation like this, don't they? They can chat anonymously even across the air!
—— Do these two even need anonymity anymore? I suggest the program team send contact information, let them directly chat privately!
—— Hahaha! I think that's a great idea, absolutely!
—— Little greedy bug who misses me, Su Bai is so good at this!!!
