Chapter 024

[At this moment, I don’t know whether to envy Yu Shu who is being coaxed by Yan Jin, or Yan Jin who can coax Yu Shu.] [The more I look at Yan Jin’s method of coaxing people, the more I feel like she’s coaxing a child who just started kindergarten?]

Yan Jin put her ear to the doll’s mouth, pretending to listen to it speak, “What did you say?”

Yan Jin let out an “oh” as if she had a sudden realization, “As long as I go to the pastry shop and buy ten catties of white sugar cake and five catties of mung bean cake and give them all to Yu Shu, he will cool down after eating them.”

Ten catties of white sugar cake and five catties of mung bean cake, even pigs wouldn’t be fed that much.

Yu Shu couldn’t help but turn his head and say to Yan Jin, “Yan Jin, if you really buy me fifteen catties of cakes, I will never talk to you again.”

“I just thought that buying fifteen catties of your favorite sweets would be more sincere.”

Yan Jin’s attitude was very sincere, and Yu Shu couldn’t say anything when he saw it. He muttered in a low voice, “Only pigs fed by you would think you’re sincere.”

“I don’t have fifteen catties of pastries on hand right now, only this bag of peach blossom cake.” Yan Jin took out the snacks she had just bought from her sleeve and handed them to Yu Shu, “So I didn’t have time to ask them to add more sugar.”

To be honest, when Yu Shu saw Yan Jin take out the snacks, he felt a little uneasy.

Hearing Yan Jin say that there wasn’t much sugar added, Yu Shu finally felt a little relieved.

It’s good that there isn’t much sugar added. He was just afraid that Yan Jin’s sudden care would make people add more sugar.

Thinking of the box of unfinished white sugar cake in his room, Yu Shu wanted to sigh: it would take forever to finish eating that.

Yan Jin: “If you like it, I’ll buy you more when you finish it.”

Yan Jin had been coaxing him softly, and Yu Shu was almost appeased, but he still said stubbornly, “I’m not that easy to coax…”

Before Yu Shu could finish speaking, Yan Jin smiled and picked up a piece of pastry and brought it to his lips, “Then shall I feed you?”

Yu Shu didn’t expect Yan Jin to make such a move. His face, neck, and ears instantly turned red, and even his eyelids turned light pink.

[Holy shit, Yu Shu is blushing. Yan Jin is too good at this. Who can resist this!] [If such a beautiful woman coaxed me softly and fed me food, my blood vessels would definitely explode on the spot!]

Seeing Yan Jin being so calm and not looking embarrassed at all, Yu Shu felt that his blushing was a bit petty; pushing Yan Jin away also felt like he was overreacting.

After hesitating for a while, Yu Shu still endured his shyness and lowered his head to take a bite of the pastry brought to his lips.

After Yu Shu finished eating, Yan Jin said beside him, “Little piggy baby, is this cake sweet? If you’re not satisfied, I’ll go order some pastries later.”

“You’re the little piggy baby.” Hearing Yan Jin give him another nickname, Yu Shu felt both shy and angry, and couldn’t help but blurt out, “Don’t go order pastries. The white sugar cake you bought last time could choke someone to death.”

“Last time?” Yan Jin was puzzled, “But I saw that you looked very happy and didn’t even let me try a piece.”

Yan Jin became even more puzzled, “If you felt it was too sweet, why did you still eat it? I didn’t force you to eat it, did I?”

Yu Shu was made shy and indignant by Yan Jin’s puzzled gaze and straightforward question. He turned around and went back to his room, ignoring Yan Jin, leaving Yan Jin standing in place, deep in thought.

Yan Jin couldn’t figure out why Yu Shu felt it was too sweet but didn’t say it directly. However, she kept his words “the white sugar cake could choke someone to death” in mind. She turned around and went to the pastry shop outside, intending to get to the bottom of it and buy some sanitary products while she was at it.

The night was already deep, and several households in Anping Lane had already turned off their lights and gone to bed early.

But outside Anping Lane, it was still very lively.

Yan Jin didn’t know if there was cotton here. If there was, she would give a drawing and ask someone to make it for her. Yan Jin was still a bit resistant to using menstrual pads made of grass and wood ash in ancient times.

If it was a man who had menstruation, she would say she was buying it for her family. If it was a woman who had menstruation, she would directly say she was buying it for herself.

Coincidentally, after walking for a while, Yan Jin ran into Zhou Nong Yun.

“Ah Jin!” Zhou Nong Yun smiled and waved at Yan Jin, “What a coincidence. Are you also out shopping?”

Yan Jin “hmm”ed and said, “I’m going to buy some pastries.”

“Pastries are best bought at Yipin Xuan. The pastries sold there are sweet but not greasy, and they are perfect for pairing with tea.” Zhou Nong Yun recited as if she knew them like the back of her hand, “My favorite is the osmanthus cake sold there. When you take a bite, your lips and teeth are filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.”
