“I’m just craving them, okay! Also youtiao, and… suddenly I really want to eat Tianjin-style jianbing.” Mu Xiaoxiao said, smacking her lips, looking like a gluttonous little cat.
“We don’t have those.” Yin Shaojie said as he dragged her up, slapped her butt, and urged her, “Hurry up and go brush your teeth and wash your face. Eat something to fill your tummy. If you want to eat those things, we’ll get someone to make it for you when we get home.”
“Go back home?” Mu Xiaoxiao put on her slippers. Hearing that, she looked puzzled.
Yin Shaojie nodded. “Yeah, back to the Yin residence.”
Mu Xiaoxiao scratched her head. “Today is not a weekend, is it? Don’t you have class?”
He looked at her. “Don’t you hate classes? You can openly skip classes today. Aren’t you happy about that?”
“I’m not…” 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.
“And Tianjin-style jianbing!” 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?
“Young Master, this… it seems that the kitchen has never done Tianjin-style jianbing before.”
“Figure it out,” Yin Shaojie said.
The domestic helper went silent for a moment and then she responded, “Alright, Young Master.”
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. “Tianjin-style jianbing! You guys are really good. You really know how to make it!”
She took a bite and it was really tasty. So she gave the kitchen’s helper a thumbs up.
The helper explained awkwardly, “Actually, we bought it.”
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded. “It’s okay. It’s really good! Thanks!”
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, “Xiaoxiao is back?”
“Mama Yin!” Mu Xiaoxiao shouted affectionately, “The black sesame soup is so good. Come and have some.”
“Okay, okay, okay.” Mama Yin walked over with a smile.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the helper carrying the luggage behind her and asked curiously, “Mama Yin, are you traveling?”
Perplexed, Mama Yin paused and looked at Yin Shaojie. “You haven’t told Xiaoxiao yet?”
Mu Xiaoxiao munched on Tianjin-style jianbing and seemed out of loop as she looked at Yin Shaojie. “Tell me about what?”
Mama Yin smiled and said, “We’re going to America together!”
“Go to America? Why?” Mu Xiaoxiao thought it was odd and she put down the Tianjin-style jianbing.
Mama Yin explained, “Isn’t your birthday coming up soon? We thought it’d be better to celebrate your birthday in America.”
Mu Xiaoxiao seemed stunned. She looked at Yin Shaojie and asked, “This is… your idea? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Yin Shaojie smiled faintly. “I wanted to surprise you.”
However, Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t look pleased about it.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to go to America?” 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.
“I…”
