406 Ice Cellar (Part Two)
“Thank you for your reminder, I’ll be right out.”
As he spoke, Zhao Zhan had already loosened his outer robe and wrapped Yue Jiaojiao in his arms. He then looked at his lover and smiled with a hoarse voice. “Even if she knew that it was you and
in here, she wouldn’t think too much about it. Why did you hide first?”
“I was too nervous just now, so I forgot.”
Yue Jiaojiao’s lips were pink and moist, and Zhao Zhan’s gaze could not help but land on them.
“Hurry up and get your things.” Yue Jiaojiao covered his mouth. “It’s so cold here. If we stay any longer, I’m afraid I’ll catch a cold.”
Even if she didn’t say it, Zhao Zhan wouldn’t really impetuously ignore her health and let her stay here for too long.
“I’ll go get it. You stand there and don’t move.”
Zhao Zhan pinched his lover’s leg. “Can you stand?”
His tone was perfectly normal, but Yue Jiaojiao felt her ears heat up for so reason. She nodded slightly and said, “I can.”
Zhao Zhan finally put her down on the ground after she spoke.
By the ti she brought the cream back to the kitchen, the cake had already cooled down.
Yue Jiaojiao divided it up and placed it on the rotating rack. She stood at the side and instructed on what to do.
“Yes, here. You have to spread it evenly. When the ti cos, you can pick up a layer of fruit or chestnut paste to put it in the middle.”
“This cake can be combined with the tea fragrance to create other rich flavors.”
Zhao Zhan’s wrist was very steady, and he slowly squeezed out the cream in accordance with his lover’s instructions.
Yue Jiaojiao even taught him how to use cream to write on the cake. He could write it, but it wasn’t as beautiful as he hoped it would be.
He had obviously followed her instructions and made it bit by bit, but the final shape was not as exquisite and beautiful as his lover’s personally made cake. The whole cake exuded a boorish aura like Zhao Zhan’s.
“It’s already very good.” Although the cake in front of her didn’t fit Yue Jiaojiao’s taste, it was still pretty good for a newbie. “For a straight man like you, it looks great.”
“A straight man?”
Zhao Zhan frowned, not understanding the aning of this word.
“It ans that you’re a very responsible man,” Yue Jiaojiao imdiately added, “So it’s normal that you can’t understand the delicate thoughts of a girl. Alright, alright, let’s cut the cake up and distribute it to everyone. Yue Jiaojiao pushed him away. “Rember to give Doctor Sun less cream. He’s been getting on in years, so we can’t give him too much sweet stuff.”
Zhao Zhan obediently pulled out a knife and divided the cake into a few pieces.
Madam Zhang’s courtyard was the closest to the kitchen, so they went there first.
“I was wondering what you were taking from the ice cellar. So you’re going to make a cake today.” Madam Zhang took the cake and smiled happily. Then, she suddenly handed the cake back to Zhao Zhan. “Zhao Zhan, quickly help
hold onto it for a while.”
Before Zhao Zhan and Yue Jiaojiao could understand what had happened, Madam Zhang had already leaned against the wall and retched.
“Madam Zhang…”
Yue Jiaojiao’s face was filled with worry.
Previously, she and Madam Qin had said that Madam Zhang was pregnant, but after Doctor Sun’s diagnosis, they found out that it was a mistake.
It was a good thing that Madam Zhang didn’t know what they were thinking.
Now that Madam Zhang’s stomach was not feeling well, Yue Jiaojiao did not dare to think in that direction. “Do you want Doctor Sun to co over and take your pulse?”
“I don’t know why, but I usually like the sweet things that you and Miss Li make, but when I slled it just now, I only felt a burst of discomfort. It seems that I won’t have the fortune to eat this today. I guess this piece of cake can only be left for Sir Zhang to eat.”
Madam Zhang said with a look of pity.
“I think it’s better to let Doctor Sun co over and take a look at you first.” Yue Jiaojiao was a little worried about her health. “Maybe he will know what to do and how to fix it.”
“That’s a good idea too. If I can recuperate, I might have a chance to try this cake.”
