Chapter 1222: Chapter 1222: Climbing the Knife Mountain and Descending into the Oil Cauldron!
The next day, Jian Dan was blissfully asleep in Chu Liyuan’s arms when the sound of knocking abruptly woke her from her dreams.
Jian Dan wriggled unwillingly in Chu Liyuan’s embrace, “Who’s coming so early?”
“Jian Jian, sleep a little longer!” Chu Liyuan got up, kissed Jian Dan’s forehead gently, and then went to open the door.
Outside, Jiang Xue’er was waiting with a food cart, “Is sister still not awake? I made breakfast.
Did I disturb your rest?” Jiang Xue’er asked apologetically.
“Who is it?” Jian Dan, rubbing her eyes, walked out from the room, “Xue’er? Why have you co so early?” she asked in surprise upon seeing the visitor clearly.
“Sorry, sister, I didn’t know you weren’t up yet. I’ll co back later!” she said, preparing to leave.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, we’re already up. Did you co here for sothing?”
“Oh! It’s nothing much, I just prepared so breakfast.”
“Breakfast?” It was then that Jian Dan noticed the food cart beside Jiang Xue’er.
“You co in first!”
After Jiang Xue’er pushed the cart inside, she laid out breakfast on the table.
“It slls so good! It looks really delicious.” Jian Dan didn’t hesitate to pick up a piece of sponge cake and put it in her mouth, “Mmm, this is so yummy! Where did you buy these? I didn’t notice them yesterday?”
“I made them myself!” Jiang Xue’er said in a soft voice.
“You made them yourself? So many? You did all this?”
“Yes!”
“How early did you have to get up?”
“I’m used to it, I used to always get up early to help my mom run the snack stall.”
Hearing this, Jian Dan felt inexplicably unsettled.
“You’ve been busy for so long, you must have not had breakfast yet! Co on, sit down and eat with !” Jian Dan beckoned Jiang Xue’er to sit down!
“It’s okay, sister, you eat first!”
“There’s too much here for just the two of us, co sit down and eat too!”
“But…”
“Hey! If I ask you to sit down, just sit down,” Jian Dan insisted, pulling Jiang Xue’er to the seat.
“Here,” she offered Jiang Xue’er a piece of sponge cake.
Jiang Xue’er, looking at the sponge cake in front of her, didn’t take it, just stared directly at it.
Jian Dan noticed that Jiang Xue’er’s eyes were gradually getting moist, “Why are you crying again?” Jian Dan, being a girl, really didn’t know how to deal with another girl’s tears.
“It’s nothing, ever since my mom passed away, it’s been so long since anyone has been this kind to , so I…”
“Co on, eat!”
“Mhm! Thank you, sister!” Jiang Xue’er took the sponge cake from Jian Dan’s hand.
“No more crying, it’s not good for your health to eat while crying!”
“Okay! I won’t cry anymore!” Jiang Xue’er wiped the tears from her face, revealing a smile.
“That’s more like it,” Jian Dan nodded, continuing to eat, “Wait a minute! I’ve got an idea!” Jian Dan spoke after taking a bite of the sponge cake.
“Sister, what did you think of?”
“Your cooking is so good, you could open your own little shop!”
“I have thought about that, but it’s not so easy, plus I don’t have the money!”
“You don’t have to worry about money, I can help you with that!”
“No, I really can’t trouble sister any further.”
“Since you call sister, of course, I have to help you. If you feel uncomfortable taking my money, think of it as if I’m investing, and when you make money later, you can just give a share, right?”
“This…”
“Don’t hesitate, it’s decided.”
“But who will eat the food I make here?”
“Not here, outside, I’ll help you find a store! In a few days when we leave, you’ll co with us.”
“But I’ve never left the island before, I don’t know if I can do it!”
“You definitely can, I believe with your skills you will be successful.”
“Sister, you’re helping so much, I really don’t know how to thank you. In the future, if you need to do anything, no matter how difficult, I won’t hesitate!”
Jian Dan was montarily stunned, then smiled and said, “Alright!”
Although she said this, she thought to herself: What kind of situation could possibly require her to brave the blade of a sharp mountain or dive into a vat of oil?
This lass is quite adorable!
