CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 135 CHEN YIN AND MIAO MIAO_2

The sweet lotus root is naturally very delicious, but the honey sticking to the mouth can also be quite annoying.

Ke Lian chuckled foolishly, feeling quite pleased after successfully stealing a scent. After casually washing the honey off his lips with clear water, he sweetly coaxed Du Xixi to wipe his mouth dry for him.

What else could Du Xixi do? Helplessly, she threw a glance at Ke Lian and then took out another clean handkerchief to gently wipe away all the water droplets on Ke Lian’s lips and face.

While Du Xixi earnestly helped Ke Lian wipe the water, Ke Lian lowered his head slightly, silently feeling Du Xixi’s tenderness. His eyes were calm, filled with deep love, as he just looked at Du Xixi, quietly watching...

***

After goofing around in the kitchen with Ke Lian for a while, Du Xixi finally decided to make another batch of sweet lotus root—this time in a large quantity. She not only planned to keep some for Chen Yin but also intended to send some over to Mo Ying and them.

All of them were good brothers and sisters, too busy to meet often, so using some delicious food to maintain connections was certainly feasible.

Seeing Du Xixi and 2569 busy packing the sweet lotus root, Ke Lian quickly went up to help, but couldn’t help asking, "Does Your Majesty need some too? Surely he doesn’t lack lotus roots to eat."

"The lotus roots sent by my brother, he naturally doesn’t lack them." Du Xixi couldn’t help but smile as she sealed two large boxes of sweet lotus root securely and carefully placed them on the table, "But since my brother is a half-baked cook, he might know that lotus roots can be eaten, but not how to prepare them. The Cultural Relics Bureau can’t possibly imagine a recipe based on his textual descriptions, can they?"

If Chen Yin were to describe the sweet lotus root, how would he describe it?

—Red, with glutinous rice inside, and very sweet.

Du Xixi imagined the possible description that Chen Yin might say and felt that teasing her brother like this wasn’t very nice. She quickly covered her mouth to hide her smile and continued packing the sweet lotus root.

Ke Lian, who had witnessed Chen Yin’s cooking skills—a kitchen menace slightly better than himself and yet still atrocious—thought that Du Xixi’s words made perfect sense. He then softly said to Du Xixi, "Then pack more for Your Majesty? It’s rare for him in the Imperial Palace to enjoy such a treat."

Although he doesn’t like sweets, Ke Lian’s taste buds are normal, and after eating so much sweet lotus root today, he naturally knows its deliciousness. Even someone as indifferent to sweets as he would sincerely utter the words "delicious."

Although Chen Yin doesn’t visit the Ke Family often, since Du Xixi plans to send sweet lotus root to him, it’s clear Chen Yin loves sweets too.

Compared to Ke Lian, who could enjoy delicious food anytime while staying by Du Xixi’s side, Chen Yin, far away in the Imperial Palace and relying solely on his sister’s "charity," truly needed such a "food blessing."

Du Xixi raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting that despite Ke Lian and Chen Yin fighting "tooth and nail" with each other, Ke Lian still cared about Chen Yin. She unconsciously smiled, placing another box of sweet lotus root on the table, making it a set with the other two boxes, ready to be delivered to Chen Yin later.

The Imperial Palace doesn’t accept mailed packages from the outside. Although Du Xixi could have 2569 deliver a batch of food to the interstellar court before, this method couldn’t work right now.

Fortunately, the Ke Family had Mechanical Soldiers standing upright outside, and Du Xixi personally stepped out to ask one of the Soldiers to help deliver the sweet lotus root to the Imperial Palace, while the other sweet lotus root for Mo Ying and them was sent out by 2569.

Chen Yin was undoubtedly the first to express his gratitude, different from Mo Ying and their message of thanks. Chen Yin came directly with the Rob and the Mechanical Soldier who delivered the sweet lotus root to personally thank Du Xixi at the Ke house.

At that time, Miao Miao, who had just returned from borrowing books from Mo Ying’s house, happened to bump into Chen Yin at the gate.

When Miao Miao attended the admission exam at Blue Star University before, she already revealed her true form to everyone. The neighbors around weren’t ordinary families, and their knowledge and vision were deeper and more far-reaching than ordinary people, so they didn’t look down on Miao Miao because of her uniqueness.

On regular days when Miao Miao went out, the neighbors often took the initiative to greet her.

So today, Miao Miao went out without taking any concealment. When getting off the hovercar, she even turned around to take out her tail, which was caught under the seat cushion, and thus did not notice the urgently rushing Chen Yin. When she turned around, Chen Yin happened to walk up close to Miao Miao, and neither of them was prepared, resulting in a collision.
