Honkai: It’s broken, I have become the Herrscher of Corrosion?

On January 2001, 1, Enosiya took a look at what Xilin bought as usual.

"Electric egg beater, powder sifter, soft scraper, manual egg beater... Does she want to eat the handmade cake made by Bella again?" Enosiya didn't think much about it and turned to do other things.

On January 1, all the things Xilin bought arrived at the villa, and Bella was eager to try: "My Queen, what kind of cake do you want to eat?"

Unexpectedly, Xilin showed an embarrassed expression and pulled her to her side:

"Bella... um... can you teach me how to make a cake?"

A question mark slowly formed in Bella's mind, and then she was shocked: Could it be that the dishes she cooked in the past few days failed to satisfy the Queen?

Seeing Bella's panicked expression, Xilin touched her head and said, "That's not what I meant. I think..."

Bella was stunned for a moment, then smiled:

"Understood, Queen, follow me."

After all the preparations were completed, Bella began her guidance.

“Begin by beating the eggs and separating the egg white from the yolk.”

Xilin picked up an egg, tapped it gently, and slowly poured the egg white into the bowl. Since the egg yolk almost fell into the bowl several times, Xilin was a little anxious, and with a little force, the entire eggshell was crushed on the spot, and the yolk and egg white immediately flowed all over her hands.

Bella immediately took out a wet towel and wiped the egg liquid off her hands and quickly cleaned up the egg liquid that dripped onto the floor. Xilin was obviously very frustrated by her unsuccessful start.

"Don't be impatient, Queen. Just try slowly. I will handle any problems you have."

After successfully consuming countless eggs, Xilin finally separated a bowl of egg white and a bowl of egg yolk. Bella took the egg white away and put it in the refrigerator.

Following Bella's instructions, Xilin added a little milk and a little oil to the third bowl and stirred them evenly. After stirring, it looked like thin yogurt.

Put the right amount of low-gluten flour and corn starch into the dough, take out the manual egg beater to stir, Xilin wrote down the formula Bella taught her, repeatedly drew a "Z" shape in it, and soon there was no dry powder in the bowl. Looking at the dry dough, Xilin couldn't help but frown.

"My Queen, put the egg yolk in and stir it the same way you did before. It won't look so ugly anymore."

Xilin nodded, not quite understanding, and followed the steps she said. After stirring a few times, Xilin's hands slowed down and she began to be distracted. Bella knew that Xilin's enthusiasm had worn off and she began to feel bored.

"I'll do the rest of the work, and in the end just say it was done by Her Majesty the Queen... Anyway, what's mine is Her Majesty the Queen's, and what's Her Majesty the Queen is still Her Majesty the Queen."

Bella was about to ask Xilin to stop thinking this, but Xilin seemed to remember something and her hands became faster again. Seeing this, Bella put aside her previous thoughts and continued to help.

She took out the egg whites that had been frozen for a few minutes and preheated the oven. Once Xilin finished beating the egg yolks, she could continue beating the egg whites.

"Your Majesty, you will need some skills when using the electric egg beater. Can I teach you step by step?"

"Ah... no problem."

Bella excitedly handed the electric egg beater to Xilin, then gently grabbed her hand and started turning it in the bowl.

"To make sure all the egg whites are beaten, you need to keep turning the needle. Don't be afraid of beating them to the bottom of the bowl... Just like this, yes... Your Majesty the Queen is indeed a genius. She quickly became proficient."

At this moment, Bella finally understood what it meant to be inconsistent... No, it was to do two things at once.

While teaching Xilin how to make a cake, she was thinking:

“The Queen’s hands… are so soft… they feel so comfortable to touch… hehehe…”

Seeing Bella's face gradually flushed and her inner thoughts written all over her face, Xilin pretended not to see it:

"So making a cake is so troublesome... No wonder Bella had to work so hard before, she's worked so hard, since she feels comfortable, just treat it as a reward for her. The feeling of her hand holding it is not bad, just this position... Yes, Bella, keep this position and don't move, if you lower your head again, the corner will poke me!"

In the writing teaching reading flirting activities, the two people hid at least four thoughts. After a while, Bella gently lifted Xilin's hand, and a sharp corner appeared on the head of the egg beater. At the same time, even if the bowl was turned upside down, the egg white would not fall out. Bella understood that this step was completed.

"Sister Bella..."

Bella turned around and saw Ivan calling her. She had obviously seen the "teaching" scene between the two of them just now.

"Ivan, what's going on?"

"Sister Bella, we're out of red cardboard..."

Bella glanced at Celine and was in a dilemma.

"It's okay, Bella. Go with her to buy it. The following steps are in the book before it. Just give the book to me."

"My Lady Queen..."

"It's okay. I remember there are only a few steps left. I can do it myself. You have to trust me. It's okay."

"Okay..." Although she was still uneasy, Bella took the book down, put it next to Celine, and went out with Ivan.

After Bella left, Xilin picked up the book and flipped through a few pages. Then she put her hands on her hips and raised her head very confidently.

"Isn't it just mixing the egg white and egg yolk together? Watch me."

Xilin poured the egg yolk paste into the egg whites, stirred it with a soft spatula in one hand, and turned the bowl with the other hand, and soon mixed the two evenly.

"Huhu, isn't this simple? Next, the last step!"

Xilin poured the cake batter into the mold and put the mold into the oven.

"Let me see...bake at 150 degrees for 45 minutes...done!" After putting the mold into the oven, Xilin went back to the bedroom to watch TV without caring about anything else.

45 minutes later, Xilin returned to the kitchen, just as Bella and Ivan came back from a walk around the island. Xilin immediately showed a proud expression.

"Bella you came just in time, the cake is done."

After opening the oven and taking out the mold, Xilin's smile froze.

Because the surface of the cake was already covered with burnt color, although it was still quite different from Siegfried's charcoal black, it was still edible, but the ugly color still hit Xilin hard.

Bella picked up the book and read it carefully.

"Your Majesty... the amount of cake batter you used is slightly less than the standard amount in this book, so the final baking time needs to be slightly adjusted so that the color will be more beautiful. Now..."

"No need. It's too late to redo it. Let's wait for her to come back."

On the night of January 1, Enosia returned here. As soon as she entered the house, she felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. Xilin was standing in front of her very shyly, and on the table next to her was a slightly burnt chiffon cake.

"What's wrong?" Enosiya was confused.

Xilin took a deep breath and said firmly: "It seems that you really don't remember what day it is today... Remember when we were in Siberia, you told me that you were born on January 1st..."

Enosiya was surprised. She just mentioned it casually at the time, but she didn't expect Xilin to actually remember it.

"From Siberia to here, from resurrecting my mother to celebrating my birthday, you have always been the one-sided one giving for me. I also want to do something for you...but you are much better than me. Whether it is fighting or life, there is no place where you need my help. You can see that without Bella, I can't even bake a cake...I..."

Enosiya looked at the chiffon cake on the table, then looked at Xilin: "Is this the birthday gift you prepared for me personally?"

Siren nodded.

"I'm very happy that you have this kind of thought."

Xilin shook her head. "It was you who brought me out of hell, it was you who gave me a home, it was you who allowed me to reunite with my family. You paid the most, but got the least... In your own words, you have no obligation to do this!"

Enosiya was stunned, because what she did for Xilin was completely voluntary and there was no danger. She didn't think how much she had contributed. After hearing what she said, she realized that her contribution... was not small.

"I hope I can be given a chance in the future to do something for you... Although, I'm likely to mess it up..."

Just when Enosiya was at a loss, Ivan ran to her side with a red paper crane in his hand.

"Sister Ino, this is my birthday present to you. We are a family, but Sister Ino feels a little lonely. I don't know why, but I hope you can be happier on your birthday like Sister Xilin."

The thousand paper cranes are very ordinary, but they are the most innocent blessing from a child, and Enosiya's heart suddenly felt warm.

At this time, holographic images of Cecilia and Alexandra also appeared in the living room.

"You won't..."

"No, no, we two memories will not embarrass ourselves in front of the Corrosion Ruler. Just like Xilin said, you have done so much for us, but we can't think of what we can do for you. You have made an indelible contribution to the establishment of this family, and we will always be your family."

Cecilia and the others looked at each other, and then everyone looked at Enosia at the same time, and said in unison:

"Happy birthday, Enosia!"
