A wail suddenly rang out in the alley, followed by the sound of an impact. Chu Yang frowned and quickened his pace.

Just as they were passing the crossroads in the alley, a female insect with a face covered in green blood struggled to crawl to the intersection.

He saw Chu Yang approaching and was still talking.

"Hurry...hurry up..."

Chu Yang didn't hear what he said. He was clutching the bag containing red beans and glutinous rice flour tightly in his hand, and he just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

As I passed the intersection, I glanced at the situation inside out of the corner of my eye.

A man dressed in a black hoodie and black overalls was pinning another man down in an alley, punching him repeatedly in the head. The other man was tightly protecting his head with his arms.

Moreover, other insects, bleeding, were lying haphazardly on the ground all around.

Chu Yang assumed it was just another brawl among the petty thugs and didn't want to get into trouble, so he took one look and prepared to leave.

"Ha, male insect, finally found a lone male insect."

The female insect in the black hoodie bared her teeth and looked up at Chu Yang. Her bloodthirsty eyes and excited expression reminded Chu Yang of the scene when the original owner of the body was forced to mate.

A dangerous aura swept over him, and in the blink of an eye, the female insect in the black hoodie appeared in front of Chu Yang.

Upon closer inspection, one could clearly see the other person's appearance: a few strands of red hair peeked out from under the brim of a hat, and a black eye patch covered their left eye.

It was that fugitive space pirate from TV. Chu Yang was shocked and immediately stretched out his arm to block the leg that was being lifted.

Under the influence of gravity, although Chu Yang blocked his attack, he was still kicked back several steps.

The fugitive was stunned for a moment, then his expression became even more excited.

"Hahaha, interesting, really interesting."

Chu Yang put the bag in his hand aside. When he teleported over, a pair of insect wings emitting a bright light appeared on his back.

Before Chu Yang could catch his breath, the fugitive rushed over again.

This time, prepared, Chu Yang threw a punch at him as he charged forward. Taking advantage of the gap in his defense, he lowered his body, flipped over in front of him, and rolled to the side of the group of beaten insects.

Picking up an iron rod from the ground, Chu Yang launched himself forward and, using the walls on both sides, leaped across the rooftops, slashing at the flying insects.

The alley is not very spacious, which greatly restricts flight. Moreover, it is daytime now, and if he flies high into the sky, he will be immediately spotted by the security team's insects.

Taking advantage of his moment of respite, Chu Yang launched a series of attacks, each strike delivered with full force.

The situation changed, and the red-haired fugitive was forced to switch from offense to defense.

"Contact the security team immediately."

Chu Yang saw the insect that had been hit struggling to crawl to the corner of the wall and shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, the fugitive insect became furious. He wanted to leave, but was suppressed by the male insect in front of him.

Chu Yang could tell that the other party wanted to leave, so he quickened his pace. The narrow terrain became an advantage for him, and every move he made hit the fugitive insect.

However, when the blow hit his insect wing, a piercing metallic clang rang out, and Chu Yang's hand was also shaken and went numb. On the other hand, his opponent looked like he was in pain.

So before the security team arrived, Chu Yang kept looking for openings and attacking his insect wings.

Soon, the patrol team from the nearby area arrived. By then, the fugitive insect had been beaten to its knees by Chu Yang and was too weak to fly.

His insect wings drooped, and he stared fiercely at Chu Yang, spitting out a mouthful of phlegm mixed with green blood.

"Sir, you are injured. We will take you to the hospital immediately."

Looking at the wound on the back of his hand caused by the insect's wings, Chu Yang wiped the blood off his clothes.

"No need, you should take them to the hospital quickly. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Picking up the bag from the ground, Chu Yang left without looking back.

Pan Cheng was helped to his feet by his younger brother. He looked at Chu Yang's disappearing figure with an expression of admiration.

"I've made up my mind. He is my idol, Pan Cheng. I will follow that Xiongzi from now on. He is amazing."

After returning home, Chu Yang took out Shen Nanxi's first-aid kit, which contained the medicine he had used when he was injured last time.

The transparent white liquid felt cool when applied to the back of my hand, and then the wound was wrapped with gauze.

The pain subsided quickly, and there was a slight itching sensation inside.

After bandaging the wound, Chu Yang took out the red beans, washed them, and then put them in a storage box and put them in the freezer for quick freezing.

Pour all the glutinous rice flour into a bowl, add an appropriate amount of water, and knead the glutinous rice into a smooth dough.

Then roll it into small balls of uniform size. Boil water in a pot, pour in the rolled balls, and cook until they all float to the surface. Take them out and rinse them in cold water.

The frozen red beans were cooked in a pressure cooker for half an hour, and then an appropriate amount of sugar was added. The insects in the insect tribe especially like sweets, so most of a bag of sugar was added.

The cooked red bean paste was especially sticky and sweet. I scooped out half of the red bean paste and made red bean buns.

When Shen Nanxi got home from get off work, the first thing she noticed was the bandage on Chu Yang's hand.

"Brother, how did you get hurt? Is it serious? Let's go to the hospital."

Raise your hand and extend it in front of him, opening and closing your palm.

"Look, I'm almost healed. It's just a minor injury. Since you're back, I made you something delicious. Come wash your hands and eat."

Upon hearing that there was more delicious food, Shen Nanxi immediately ran to wash her hands with joy.

When I returned, there was a bowl of red glutinous rice balls and several steamed buns on the table.

I scooped up a spoonful of red bean paste dumplings. They were soft and chewy, with a sweet taste that hit my palate. The small white dumplings were also chewy and glutinous.

"It's so delicious! It feels like all the fatigue from the day has been washed away."

Shen Nanxi was so engrossed in the delicious food that he closed his eyes and savored it. Chu Yang, seeing his blissful expression, also took a bite. It was too sweet; he clearly hadn't fully immersed himself in the flavor yet.

"Try this bun too, it's also filled with red bean paste."

She picked up a steamed bun and handed it to him. Shen Nanxi took a bite; it was sweet, pink, and delicious.

Shen Nanxi savored the experience of eating a small red bean paste dumpling and a red bean bun, feeling truly blissful.

Chu Yang does indeed plan to launch new products. Red beans are very cheap because they don't know how to cook them to make them taste good. Most of the time, they are used to make pastes or powders for coloring.

So the menu at [Xiao Chu Baozi Shop] was updated the next day.

New product! Red bean paste buns (sweet)

Autumn/Winter Limited Edition! Red Bean Paste Mini Rice Balls (Sweet), limited to 100 servings per day.

The quantity of new products was not large, and they were sold out in one morning.

"Oh, Dr. Shen, please, please pack a few servings of red bean paste dumplings for us. We can't compete with the other insects, and we're always too late every time we go."

Xu Lu and his friends tried this, and they could never forget the taste after just one bite. However, it's sold in limited quantities every day, so it's impossible to get a copy.

"Well, I'll tell my brother when I get home tonight. If he doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do to help him."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Chu Yang is so gentle, he will definitely agree. Dr. Shen, from now on you will be the god in charge of our office's red bean dumplings, please accept our bow."

Several colleagues bowed deeply to Shen Nanxi in unison.

When Shen Nanxi got home that evening, she stammered and told Chu Yang what her colleagues had said.

“Sure, if your colleagues want anything to eat, just send me a message and I’ll deliver it directly to your office.”

"really?"

Shen Nanxi blinked her bright, sparkling eyes and looked at Chu Yang with delight.

"Really, it's not a big deal. Your colleagues like to eat it, which will increase our small business's income. Besides, if you do this, no one will target or ostracize you in the hospital."

"Waaaah, brother, you're so good to me, I love you the most."
