The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Tao Yao followed the sweet smell all the way and finally saw the busy figure in the kitchen.

Lingxi seemed to have sensed his arrival. She put the glutinous rice balls in her hand into the pot and said without turning her head, "Are you awake? Are you hungry? You can eat them later."

"Yeah." Tao Yao responded softly, and then stood quietly by the side, silently watching her cook for herself. Her heart was filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Lingxi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by his focused gaze. She turned back and glared at him, but in the end she was defeated by his innocent eyes. She sighed helplessly, pointed to the porcelain bowl on the table and said, "There is honey juice prepared on the table. You can drink some. It can relieve the discomfort after a hangover."

"Is this made specially for me?" A hint of surprise flashed in Tao Yao's eyes.

"If you can't finish it, you can give some to Bai Lin." Lingxi added.

"No, I can finish it." Tao Yao replied quickly.

Lingxi shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, just drink it all. No one will snatch it from you." Then he turned around and continued to get busy.

After a while, the glutinous rice balls were cooked.

Lingxi put them into a bowl and sprinkled some osmanthus flowers on them, which instantly filled the air with sweet fragrance.

Tao Yao couldn't wait to taste one, and the sweet taste instantly spread in his mouth. He couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile, "It's delicious."

Lingxi smiled and said, "As long as it tastes good, I'm afraid my skills may not be as good as before because I haven't made it for so long."

Taoyao put down the bowl in her hand and looked at Lingxi seriously, "It's really delicious. Can you always make it for me from now on?"

Lingxi was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Okay."

Tao Yao laughed happily, as if she had obtained the most precious treasure in the world.

"You two are going too far when you have something delicious to eat?" Pi Fu walked in with an unhappy look on her face, glaring at Ling Xi with some complaints, "Humph, you are such a fickle guy!"

Lingxi quickly handed over a bowl of fermented rice balls at just the right temperature. "How could that be? I know you like this, so I made it especially for you. Come and try it, is it still the same taste as you remember?"

Pi Fu took a bite of Lingxi's hand and smiled with satisfaction. "Well, it's not bad, but it's still a little worse than before. You have to keep working hard!" After saying that, she turned her head proudly and cast a provocative look at Tao Yao.

"Why do you always like to bully him?" Lingxi thought it was funny, and gently straightened Pi Fu's head and put the bowl in her hand. "Of course, this earthly thing can't taste exactly the same as before. Just make do with it for now, and I'll make you some more nourishing food after we go back."

Go back? Pi Fu looked at the sky outside the cave, and the thunderclouds that gathered not far away. She didn't know how long Xuanju's punishment would last. It seemed that there was no sign of letting up.

Lingxi seemed to know what she was thinking. She patted Pi Fu's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm back. Everyone will be fine."

"Yes, I will definitely protect everything in Lingxi Valley." Tao Yao agreed seriously.

Hearing this, Pi Fu looked at him and said, "Sister's calamity has not yet arrived. You just need to protect her."
