Chapter 555 QAQ...
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Pinghai returned to the cafeteria's kitchen, only to find Cleveland still standing at the table, fiddling with the bowl of chocolate paste.
Maybe because he was worried about the limited raw materials, he stopped pouring chocolate from the big bowl and just kept poking the chocolate paste in the small bowl with chopsticks, probably trying to record the solidification time.
In fact, Pinghai still had a lot of chocolate chunks on her body, but her intuition as a little cook told her that the practice of melting the chocolate and then leaving it intact and waiting for it to solidify... might not necessarily be the right approach.
After thinking it over, she decided to take out her cell phone and check Baidu. After all, it was more reliable than Dido's method.
So Pinghai walked into the kitchen while searching for keywords. Cleveland heard the noise and turned around, but didn't see the commander and the maid leaving with him, so he asked her casually.
"Ping Hai? Where are the commander and the others?"
"Hmm... I don't know. They left after taking a shower." Ping Hai flipped through the pages carefully, then leaned over and handed it to Cleveland to read. "Sister Cleveland, what we did just now was wrong."
"Eh? Ah... I know, I searched when you went to take a shower, but the problem is that we don't have the ingredients mentioned above here..."
Ping Hai didn't quite understand, so he tilted his head and suggested, "Let my sister help me find Boss Ming to buy it?"
"Well... unfortunately, I asked her about it, and Shiranui said that she didn't consider the potential business opportunities of 'homemade chocolate' when she was purchasing the goods, so she bought a lot of finished products, but she didn't have cocoa powder or cocoa butter."
Cleveland thought for a moment, "It's possible to place an order and ask someone to buy it for me, but I'm not sure if anyone will take orders from the port area..."
Ping Hai, who had never seen a delivery man in the port area, had no idea what to do and could only stare at the smooth dark chocolate paste in a daze.
The more she looked at it, the more she wanted to eat it. Finally, she reached out her hand, dipped her index finger in the sweet paste, put it in her mouth, and began to suck it happily.
Cleveland looked at him amusedly and carefully checked his hands. After making sure they were clean, he came over and rubbed Pinghai's head. Ninghai, who happened to have just returned from shopping, walked to the door and was quite surprised to see this.
"Are you...hungry? Lunch is still a little while away, how about I make something for you to fill your stomach first?"
"Ah... no no, I want to make chocolate, but I don't have the raw materials. Ping Hai is helping me to find a solution."
Ning Hai glanced at his sister who was sucking her fingers, frowned slightly, then stepped over, grabbed her wrist, pulled out her index finger that had been licked clean, and pushed her back to the sink.
"Wash your hands carefully. Didn't I teach you not to lick your fingers? It's very unhygienic. What if you swallow bacteria and get a stomachache?"
"...Sister, what you said makes sense." Ping Hai responded obediently. After thinking for a moment, he asked while washing: "Sister, do you have cocoa butter and cocoa powder?"
"Hmm? I was buying groceries and didn't need these, so I didn't look closely... Don't they sell them at Shiranui?"
Pinghai shook his head. Ninghai took the towel and wiped his sister's hands carefully. He suggested, "Why don't we ask Sister Yixian? She seems to be going out to buy New Year's goods today. It's a good opportunity to ask her to bring some back."
"Ah... So she's outside?" Cleveland took out his phone and typed
"Yeah, right? Go buy some ingredients and make snacks for the kids. I think he might not be back yet. Why don't you give him a call and ask?"
"it is good."
In the cramped space, there is a surge of emotions that are hard to ignore.
Yixian, who is always gentle and calm, seems to have lost his composure at this moment, as if he was bewitched, and lingered on Su Xiaozhi's white and smooth shoulders.
The victim, who was restrained and had nowhere to escape, could only tilt his head back, open his mouth slightly and breathe in.
The position where the two were located was too special. There were people walking outside the door all the time. The conversations between customers and shopping guides could be heard faintly, and next door were their sisters.
In this situation, asking or struggling was not a good idea, so the tormented Su Xin could only try to endure it.
But if it was just a simple sticking, it would be fine, but Yixian was like a demon, sucking and biting, and the dense itching mixed with sporadic pain rushed straight to my head, which was really difficult to hold.
The strange physical condition that had been suppressed by a whole night of desensitization therapy seemed to be recovering at this moment, and the uncontrollable tremors were proof of it.
"If...if you continue like this...
Su Xin began to feel dazed, and her legs became so weak that she could hardly stand. She subconsciously reached behind her back to grab Yixian's clothes, hoping to use the reaction force of pressing down to maintain her standing position.
Yixian noticed it, but for some reason, he didn't want to let the other party get what he wanted. The energetic little commander was naturally good, but the other party's unable to control his emotions was obviously more attractive.
Moreover, as long as she glanced to the right with her peripheral vision, she could see the current situation of the two of them through the mirror. The seductive little instructions really fascinated her.
“......Yi….”
"...Um?
"Let go..."
"......Um."
The young commander's eyes were distracted. He clearly heard the other party agree, but he didn't stop biting at all. The dam he had built with great effort seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Fortunately, before her spirit collapsed, a ringtone suddenly rang. At this moment, this ethereal melody without lyrics became a life-saving straw.
"…catch……"
...
"...answer it..."
Yixian behind him seemed to sigh softly, and the hot and humid air flow brushed across the skin that already had marks, ending this "communication" with a slight tingling sensation.
After getting close to each other, Yixian closed his eyes, and when he opened them again he had regained his clarity. He quickly adjusted the buttons into place with his hands, and with a light "click" sound, he completed the task.
Then he pushed the weak little conductor to sit on a small stool. Yixian looked at the red corners of his eyes, helped him straighten his clothes, opened the door and went out.
The phone in his pocket kept ringing. Yixian walked out calmly and answered the phone under the slightly curious gazes of others. "Cleveland? What's wrong?"
[Ah...are you busy? Sorry to bother you, I heard Ning Hai say you were out shopping?]
Yixian did not refute the previous sentence, but responded with a smile: "Yes, buy some New Year's goods, and take Susu and Dido to pick out some clothes. Do you need me to help you bring anything?"
[Yes... I want to try making some chocolate, but there is no cocoa butter and cocoa powder in Shiranui. If possible, can you bring some back for me?]
"Well, of course. I just happened to be planning to buy some and try making it myself. After all, the kids... all love to eat it."
[That's good, thank you, goodbye~]
"See you."
After saying that, Yixian hung up the phone and waited for more than a minute. The commander who had already changed his clothes did not come, but Dido, who was much late, opened the door and came out first.
"...Eh? Miss Yixian, I didn't see you just now..."
"Yeah, I went shopping for a while too." Yixian responded with a faint smile, his expression impeccable, "Cleveland just asked me to help bring back some food, so I have to go to the supermarket."
"If you can't wait and need to go back first, remember to call and let me know."
Dido didn't have anything to do, so she wasn't in a hurry to go home. But this wasn't something she could decide, so she agreed immediately, "You go first, and see what Su...Su thinks later."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Yixian nodded and left.
This was said quite absolutely, as if to make sure that she would leave early, and Dido vaguely remembered that the other person's mouth didn't seem to be so red just now...
Just as she was wondering, the door of the fitting room behind her opened with a click. Su Xin, who had finally suppressed the heat on her face, rushed out and dragged Dido to the cashier counter.
"Hurry, hurry, let's go!"
"Eh? But Miss Yixian just went out...we can't wait——"
"No, no, just send her a message and tell her. I…I have something urgent to go back for. Let's go!"
Dido watched the little conductor scan the code skillfully, and then stopped her gaze on the other's red ears. Although she was confused, she still agreed.
"Ok, ok, Dido got it."
Chapter 556: Poor Students Have Many Stationery
Su Xin felt very embarrassed after being licked and bitten. A large area around her right shoulder and butterfly bone was numb, and she felt as if it was burning.
She didn't know if it was because there were too many people in the mall and the air-conditioning was turned on high, but after she came out of the fitting room, she just felt very dry and urgently needed the fresh cold air outside to help cool down.
Dido, who was dragged away by Su Xiao, was completely confused, but she didn't think of asking. She was already satisfied to be able to accompany her master shopping for clothes.
Su Xin really didn't delay. She ran straight to the roadside after leaving the mall, hailed a taxi, opened the door and got in. She also urged Dido to close the door quickly, just like Tang Monk who had just escaped from a monster's lair.
The driver was also amused. While driving the car, he joked in a friendly manner: "What's wrong with the girl? Are you in a hurry to meet someone?"
Su Xin collapsed on the backrest of the back seat and gasped for breath. After hearing this, she held her breath for a few seconds and responded helplessly, "No... I'm... I'm hiding from my partner."
"Oh, are you having a fight?" The master was more talkative than expected, and he said in a tone of someone who had experienced it: "When it comes to playing with friends (note 1), the most important thing is to have fun. What's the point of playing with friends if you're not happy? What do you think?"
"But it's normal for two people to have conflicts. Just let it go after you're angry. Unless you've made a principled mistake, there's no point in breaking up."
Su Xin had never heard of this before, so she became interested. "Uncle, what kind of mistakes can be considered 'principled'?"
"Hey, you've asked the right person. Uncle, I really want to have a baby... Well, no, I mean, I've played with friends before... I made a lot of mistakes~"
Without fear, Su Xin was stunned and the communication was smooth. "...Why do I feel that you are quite proud?"
"No, no... Well, what I mean is that there are many kinds of mistakes of principle, and I can't list them all at once. How about you tell me the mistakes your partner made, and I will analyze them for you?"
The young commander subconsciously felt ashamed, but he was not so restrained when facing a stranger, perhaps because he knew in his heart that they would never meet again.
Although Dido was beside him, everyone in Hong Kong knew that he was in a relationship, so it shouldn't matter if he complained about it...right?
So Su Xin licked her lips and whispered, "She... forced me to do something intimate without my consent... does this count?"
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror. The little kid had watery eyes and pretty facial features. He looked so well-behaved no matter how you looked at him. Anyone who saw him would like him.
Such a lovely girl was actually bullied by that ungrateful guy? How could this be tolerated?!
The uncle immediately got angry and slapped the steering wheel, causing the taxi to beep suddenly. Dido was shocked and said, "Who is this person? How could he do such a thing?"
"Hmm... Uncle, does this count as a mistake of principle?"
"It counts! Of course it counts! It's in the middle of the day, and in a supermarket, how can this be tolerated?! Divide it! Divide it immediately! Are you planning to keep it for Valentine's Day?!"
Dido was startled and quickly turned to look at Su Xin, only to find that she was also stunned. "...Valentine's Day? What...ah, it seems to be coming soon?"
"Yes, I'm telling you, we have to break up. According to your conditions, you can definitely find someone better before Valentine's Day. Don't be stubborn, there are so many good partners!"
Su Xin was originally feeling depressed, but after listening to the master's analysis, she couldn't help but lean back in her chair and laugh. If Yixian was present, it would definitely be more fun.
However, she had indeed forgotten about Valentine's Day. She only found out about it because someone accidentally brought it up. Otherwise, she might not have even known about it after the day had passed.
The driver was still chattering in the front, and seemed like a warm-hearted person, but the only two listeners in the car were, one who was flustered because he had failed to hide the fact that it was Valentine's Day, and the other who was already thinking about what gift to give.
With a little thought, it’s no wonder that Helena suddenly hinted to Cleveland that she was greedy, and no wonder Dido suggested Cleveland to choose chocolate... There is a reason for all this!
According to the little commander's personality, she shouldn't attach so much importance to this festival. However, the TV dramas she had watched before all portrayed Valentine's Day as very sacred, so Su Xin had to pay attention to it.
But buying gifts seemed a little insincere, but giving nothing seemed a little heartless. After thinking about it, it was more practical to just make chocolates with Cleveland.
Su Xin had made up her mind. While listening to the master's advice, she poked her phone to send a message to Shiranui and placed an order for all kinds of miscellaneous items such as blenders, molds, and piping bags.
After the car arrived near the port area, the conductor paid the bill and got out of the car excitedly, trotting away with Dido.
The master who was about to start looked at the two people's backs and sighed, "They are so young..."
The kitchen is not small, but it can't accommodate many people. But someone spread the word that someone in the cafeteria was making homemade chocolate, so the idle and greedy children came rushing over.
Before Su Xin and the maid entered the room, they heard the chattering of children inside, coupled with the sound of metal objects colliding, it was really noisy.
Children are particularly magical creatures. They can easily create extremely high-decibel noises, but they are not affected at all.
Fortunately, the children in the port are relatively well-behaved. Except for a certain lucky ship who kept muttering "nano da" and "nano da", they are all quite sensible.
Su Xin counted the number of cross-body bags she had to make in her mind as she walked in. She found that there were many more people in the kitchen than she had imagined, but they were all eating chocolate paste with spoons, which made it seem quiet.
The three kindergarten kids of Sakura Empire, the lucky ship who will die if he saves anyone, the extremely lazy white-haired cultist, the white tiger who guards the Donghuang house, the missing member ⑥ Driving, the glutton with an extraordinary body, etc.
A group of destroyers stood in a row around the table, each holding a bowl in their hands and using a spoon to scoop out the sweet and thick chocolate paste inside. The beautiful woman with long gray hair was whispering the chocolate-making process to the other three.
Xuefeng was facing the door and was the most energetic. He immediately raised a spoon dipped in sweet syrup to greet them, "Commander, Master Xuefeng left some for you, didn't he?"
Su Xin smiled politely, "Thank you, Master Xuefeng. I'll sew a few crossbody bags like Ru Yue's and give one to each of us, okay?"
When the children who were busy licking the spoons heard this, their eyes lit up, especially Mutsuki and Maoyue. They had been coveting the cat-ear bag for a long time but didn't dare to ask for it, so they were envious of it all day long.
The four people who were discussing the recipe of chocolate also turned around and greeted them with a smile. Dunkirk, the dessert chef, looked at the little commander carefully and was impressed by his promise to sew the bag.
"Sister Yixian will be back soon. Can I join you guys then?"
"Of course, Commander, it's not difficult. You can try it without any worries."
Su Xin felt relieved, and quickly took things out of the space, "This is a blender, this is a measuring cup, this is a tray balance, and there are also molds, piping bags, fine needles, disposable gloves..."
Vicious, who was waiting for Dunkirk dessert, looked up at the table full of items and curled his lips.
"...poor students have more stationery."
