Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

"Little Li, come here and have some snacks."

Just as the two little ones were staring blankly at Su Li, who had suddenly started making a wish, a round head suddenly peeked out from the neighboring yard that Xiao Liu had just pointed to.

Fatty Wang was leaning over the wall, holding a basket in both hands and calling for help.

Su Li had already smelled the aroma coming from next door. Upon hearing this, she jumped up and quickly went to the base of the wall, taking the basket from Wang Pangzi's hand.

"Egg yolk pastry?"

These tiny, golden-yellow pastries, each about half the size of a fist and shaped like little steamed buns, are piled up in a basket, making your mouth water just looking at them.

"Hehe, this little thing looks small, but it's quite difficult to make. Come and try Fatty's cooking."

Fatty Wang reached out and patted Su Li on the head, gesturing for her to try it.

Su Li freed one hand, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, then quickly put another piece into Wang Pangzi's mouth before taking a satisfied bite.

One bite and you'll find it crispy, sweet, and crumbly, with layers of flaky pastry on the outside and a layer of smooth red bean paste wrapped around a salted egg yolk inside.

The rich flavor made Su Li squint her eyes instantly and give Wang Pangzi a thumbs up.

A barrage of compliments nearly made Fatty Wang float off the wall.

"Take it and have some fun. The blind man is preparing a big meal. Fatty, go and give him a hand."

Fatty Wang waved his hand and jumped back into the neighboring yard.

Su Li returned to the steps with a basket of egg yolk pastries, stuffed one into the mouths of each of the two little ones who were looking up at him, and then ran off to the study to bring warmth to Xie Yuchen.

The two people left on the steps were holding unfinished fruit in their hands and had a piece of egg yolk pastry in their mouths. They looked at each other and blinked, which looked quite comical.

This is what Wu Xie saw when he led the group through the door.

Two skinny, big-headed dolls held fruit in their hands and snacks in their mouths. Their big eyes looked over as if they were startled when they heard the door open.

Wu Xie, who already had one foot in the yard: ...

amount……

"Hi?"

The two little ones stood there for a moment, then suddenly got up quickly and ran to hide behind a pillar under the eaves.

Their skillful movements and swift actions caught Wu Xie completely off guard.

Xie Yuchen: Now you know why I let Ali spend time alone with them...

Normally, Wu Xie is incredibly friendly (and seems easy to bully), but after his first major setback, he was completely bewildered, touching his tender face and questioning his existence.

no……

Am I really that repulsive now?

It wasn't that they found Wuxie's appearance repulsive, but rather that the two children, who both had psychological trauma from adult men, secretly peeked out from behind the pillar, one holding fruit and the other a snack. When someone looked over, they both instinctively pulled their heads back.

Wu Xie helplessly touched his nose and sighed.

"Come in first."

As Wu Xie stepped into the courtyard, the three people behind him followed.

Zhang Qiling nodded to A Ning, then walked to the crabapple tree and sat down on his own special futon, instantly relaxing.

Although it wasn't obvious, Ah Ning had the feeling that this person was in a good mood.

Following behind A Ning, I watched as the boy, who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, surveyed this place, which was completely different from the environment he had grown up in, and held tightly to the hem of A Ning's clothes.

"Oh? Miss Aning, it's been a long time!"

Su Li, carrying a basket, saw the four people entering and waved to A Ning with a smile.

Aning: !!! !!! !!! !!!

Hearing this familiar greeting format, Ah Ning's heart skipped a beat for some reason, and she instinctively reached for her wallet.

God knows she was about to develop PTSD from Su Li's greeting.

Whenever she hears Su Li call out "Miss Aning," she instinctively feels a pang of pain in her wallet...

Although her wallet has been almost completely emptied, she has now been forced to work to pay off her debts...

Su Li didn't notice A Ning's rich inner thoughts. After greeting her, she ignored her and instead raised the basket in her hand towards Wu Xie.

"Little innocent, do you want some egg yolk pastries? Fatty just baked them."

"Eat, eat, eat!!! I'm starving!!!"

Wu Xie eagerly came over, grabbed one in each hand, and started gnawing on them.

"Huh? Where are those two kids?" Su Li looked left and right with the basket in her hands, searching for any trace of the two cubs.

Wu Xie, distracted, pointed behind a pillar in the corridor. "He's a coward, hiding..."

Zurich: ...

Okay then~_~

"Eat slowly..."

Why are you getting so worked up?

Wu Xie swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty.

“Those old men are really going too far. What am I compared to them? They brought such a large group of students to receive cultural relics and kept us there to help them. What kind of business is that?”

While munching on an egg yolk pastry, Wu Xie complained to Su Li.

If he had known, he would have stayed and been Fatty's kitchen helper, and let Black Bear and Little Brother go pick up the people.

Which of these two doesn't know much more about cultural relics than him?

Fatty Wang, who knew that Wu Xie's so-called "help" was just handing over some things or picking vegetables: ...

I declined...

"They didn't want to let us go just now. They were practically shoving our meals into our hands, but luckily the delivery guy reacted quickly and ran away with us..."

It's clear how resentful Wu Xie was about being suddenly conscripted; even with his mouth stuffed full and he choking, he still couldn't resist complaining.

With quick reflexes, Su Li slipped a fruit into Wu Xie's hand just as he reached for an egg yolk pastry. He was genuinely afraid that if Wu Xie continued eating like this, he would become the first cultivator in training to choke to death on a pastry.

That would be... embarrassing...

Wu Xie looked at the fruit in his hand and thought, "That'll do..."

It's enough to fill his stomach. The sweet and refreshing fruit perfectly balances the taste of the egg yolk pastry in his mouth, it's wonderful...

Seeing how hungry Wu Xie was, Su Li figured Zhang Qiling must be feeling terrible too. She stuffed a whole basket of egg yolk pastries into Zhang Qiling's arms and threw in a few fruits as well.

Zhang Qiling looked down at the basket, which still contained more than a dozen egg yolk pastries and a few fist-sized fruits...

This amount...

"Hey, Tianzhen and Xiaoge are back, and Xiao... cough cough, Aning is here too."

When Fatty Wang peeked out from over the neighboring wall again, carrying a large earthenware pot, he saw that the courtyard was quite lively, and those who had gone out to greet people had all returned.

When he saw Ah Ning, he almost blurted out "little sissy," but when he saw that there was a child following behind her, he quickly swallowed it back and greeted her with a dry laugh.

The fat man does possess this much basic civility, though not much...

"Tianzhen, don't just stand there, come help Fatty serve the dishes."
