âIâm just craving them, okay! Also youtiao, and⦠suddenly I really want to eat Tianjin-style jianbing.â Mu Xiaoxiao said, smacking her lips, looking like a gluttonous little cat.
âWe donât have those.â Yin Shaojie said as he dragged her up, slapped her butt, and urged her, âHurry up and go brush your teeth and wash your face. Eat something to fill your tummy. If you want to eat those things, weâll get someone to make it for you when we get home.â
âGo back home?â Mu Xiaoxiao put on her slippers. Hearing that, she looked puzzled.
Yin Shaojie nodded. âYeah, back to the Yin residence.â
Mu Xiaoxiao scratched her head. âToday is not a weekend, is it? Donât you have class?â
He looked at her. âDonât you hate classes? You can openly skip classes today. Arenât you happy about that?â
âIâm notâ¦â She stuck out her tongue at him.
He pushed her into the bathroom.
After freshening up, she ate a bit of breakfast, and the two returned to Yin residence.
In the car, Yin Shaojie called home and asked the kitchen to prepare black sesame soup and youtiao.
âAnd Tianjin-style jianbing!â Mu Xiaoxiao added.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and he repeated what she said to the helper over the phone.
Tianjin-style jianbing. How could they make that at home?
âYoung Master, this⦠it seems that the kitchen has never done Tianjin-style jianbing before.â
âFigure it out,â Yin Shaojie said.
The domestic helper went silent for a moment and then she responded, âAlright, Young Master.â
When Yin Shaojie took Mu Xiaoxiao back to Yin residence, the hot eggs, black sesame soup and youtiao were placed on the dining table. Of course, the Tianjin-style jianbing she wanted was also freshly prepared.
Mu Xiaoxiao was ecstatic. âTianjin-style jianbing! You guys are really good. You really know how to make it!â
She took a bite and it was really tasty. So she gave the kitchenâs helper a thumbs up.
The helper explained awkwardly, âActually, we bought it.â
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. âItâs okay. Itâs really good! Thanks!â
The helper stepped aside.
Yin Shaojie accompanied her as she ate her brunch.
Mama Yin came downstairs. Before she could even be seen, her voice was heard as she said happily, âXiaoxiao is back?â
âMama Yin!â Mu Xiaoxiao shouted affectionately, âThe black sesame soup is so good. Come and have some.â
âOkay, okay, okay.â Mama Yin walked over with a smile.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the helper carrying the luggage behind her and asked curiously, âMama Yin, are you traveling?â
Perplexed, Mama Yin paused and looked at Yin Shaojie. âYou havenât told Xiaoxiao yet?â
Mu Xiaoxiao munched on Tianjin-style jianbing and seemed out of loop as she looked at Yin Shaojie. âTell me about what?â
Mama Yin smiled and said, âWeâre going to America together!â
âGo to America? Why?â Mu Xiaoxiao thought it was odd and she put down the Tianjin-style jianbing.
Mama Yin explained, âIsnât your birthday coming up soon? We thought itâd be better to celebrate your birthday in America.â
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed stunned. She looked at Yin Shaojie and asked, âThis is⦠your idea? Why didnât you tell me earlier?â
Yin Shaojie smiled faintly. âI wanted to surprise you.â
However, Mu Xiaoxiao didnât look pleased about it.
âWhatâs wrong? Donât you want to go to America?â Yin Shaojie looked at her, his voice deep, and his gaze as though he could see into her soul.
Mu Xiaoxiao bit her lip and frowned, wondering how she should express herself.
âIâ¦â
