Chapter 362: Something Was Wrong
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mo Chu had no idea what was going on. She was staring at the cake that was about to be baked!
Just when everyone thought that Ning Yiyuan was out of his mind, he actually brought back the corresponding ingredients for the western pastries. Everyone was stunned and their hearts were in an uproar. F*ck, this guy is so awesome! That was the Central Mall of Alberto City! There were so many zombies that they could bury you to death!
However, Ning Yiyuan brought back the ingredients alone with a relaxed look on his face. As a result, the group of people looked at him with a somewhat mysterious expression!
Lan Wei and the others were also at the side. When they saw this scene, they were instantly dumbfounded. They then looked at Mo Chu beside them and quickly understood how her pure and clean temperament was nurtured?
It was very obvious that she had been spoiled by an expert like Ning Yiyuan! Look, the little girl had just mentioned dessert, and Ning Yiyuan immediately turned around to find ingredients for her. He simply could not be any more loving!
Mo Chu did not notice the shock in the hearts of the others. She sniffed with all her strength and greedily smelled the fragrance of the cake. She had liked western-style desserts in the past, but these things were extremely expensive. A cake the size of a fist could be sold for dozens or even hundreds of dollars. At that time, Mo Chu was not well-off either. She would only be willing to eat a piece of cake after a few months, she could not forget the taste.
“Little greedy cat!” Ning Yiyuan reached out and poked Mo Chu’s fair and tender face. His originally cold and hard face became gentle, and he instantly emitted a different kind of charm. This appearance attracted the eyes of a large number of women, unfortunately, Ning Yiyuan only saw Mo Chu, and the other women could only lower their heads resentfully.
Seeing Mo Chu’s greedy look, Ning Yiyuan could not help but think of their first meeting. The corners of his mouth curled up… It was clearly a delicate little face the size of a palm, but the expression on it was lively and lively. His clear eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his pink lips unconsciously curled up. That intoxicated and infatuated look was still vivid in his mind.
There were some calluses on Ning Yiyuan’s large palm. It did not hurt, but it felt a little itchy.
“Hmph!” Mo Chu turned her head to the side and raised her nose at Ning Yiyuan. She snorted lightly. “Don’t poke my cheek!”
Then, she turned her head and stared at the tall and thin chef’s operation with rapt attention. His movements were very skillful and smooth. He bubbled the egg white, added sugar, stirred it, and added the corresponding ingredients. After stirring it well, he defrosted it, poured it into the mold, and baked it. Not long after, the fragrance of the cake filled everyone’s nostrils, causing them to swallow their saliva!
Those who could enter this small dining hall were not ordinary people. After all, in this day and age, they could still afford to go to a restaurant. This was enough to prove their skill and ability. However, at this moment, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.
Every time they turned their heads to look at Ning Yiyuan and the others, their hearts were in turmoil! They were jealous and envious at the same time..
“It’s done!” The tall and thin chef exhaled lightly. A layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, but it could not block his bright eyes. The two black forest cakes on the table were officially out of the oven. Regardless of whether it was the style or the fragrance, they were all first-class, however, there was a faint sense of dissonance when they were placed on the gray and old table.
“Can we eat it now?” Mo Chu asked softly, but his eyes were filled with eagerness to try.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes!” the tall and thin chef replied. He pushed the two black forest cakes in front of them and scratched his head in embarrassment. “Today’s time is limited. I can only make two for the time being. I will give you the remaining ingredients later.”
“Okay.” Ning Yiyuan nodded. He understood the rules of the base a little better and asked softly, “What do you want?”
At this time, money was no longer of any value. Food and various materials were the most reliable means of exchange. The chef’s remuneration was no exception.
Hearing this, the lanky man’s eyes lit up. He rubbed his hands and said softly, “Five… No, three cans are enough.”
“Okay.” Ning Yiyuan nodded without hesitation. “I’ll send it over to you later.”
During the time he was looking for Mo Chu, he naturally understood the current situation. From his initial shock to his calmness now, it only took him one or two days. Not only that, he also took the opportunity to search for a lot of food. Now, a few cans was naturally a piece of cake.
“Hey! Thank you!” Hearing this, the lanky man suddenly smiled and hurriedly nodded at them to express his gratitude. After all, three canned food was already considered a large sum of money.
Ning Yiyuan swept hisgaze over and placed two pieces of Black Forest cake on an empty table. He pushed them in front of Mo Chu. His eyes were filled with affection and his tone was gentle. “Eat.”
Mo Chu did not hesitate.
She had been eating biscuits and water for the past few days. She had long felt empty in her stomach. Now that she saw the freshly baked cake, her eyes lit up. She used a fork to fork a piece and fed it to her mouth. The mellow and slightly bitter taste immediately conquered her taste buds. She narrowed her eyes and looked like a kitten that had its fur smoothed out.
Looking at Mo Chu’s happy face, Ning Yiyuan’s eyes became gentler, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
“Here, this is for you too.” Seeing that Mo Chu was about to finish the first cake, Ning Yiyuan pushed the second one over without thinking. This action stunned Mo Chu, and a rare look of guilt appeared on her face. So, she used the fork to pick up the other piece, bringing it to Ning Yiyuan’s mouth. When she met his surprised eyes, she blushed slightly. She said softly, “Umm… you should try it too. It’s very delicious.”
Ning Yiyuan lowered his head and opened his mouth. With a bite, he finished the cake on the fork. He stared at Mo Chu with a meaningful gaze, and the corners of his mouth became wider.
“How is… the taste?” Covering the shyness in her heart, Mo Chu curiously leaned her head over. She looked like a child who had found a treasure and could not wait to share it with others. It was pure and clean.
“Very sweet,” Ning Yiyuan said softly as he swallowed the cake in his mouth. His eyes stared at Mo Chu, and he felt the sweetness flow directly to his heart through his taste buds.
Is it very sweet?
Mo Chu lowered her head and frowned slightly. This black forest cake… was made of dark chocolate! The taste should be slightly bitter, but from the looks of it, Ning Yiyuan’s taste was quite special!
“Why don’t you eat it?” Ning Yiyuan could not help but ask curiously when he saw Mo Chu take out a box and put another piece of black forest cake into it.
“This… I want to keep it.” Mo Chu raised her head, unable to hide the longing in her eyes.
In fact, when she was eating this cake, she could not help but think of Roundy. If this thing had been seen by the little guy, it would have already come up to her and used its usual methods. It will roll and jump around, trying its best to act cute so that it could have a taste, but now…
Seeing Mo Chu’s gloomy expression, Ning Yiyuan was slightly stunned. A moment later, he quickly reached out to hold Mo Chu’s hand. With a consoling tone, he said in a deep voice, “Alright, you can keep it. They will definitely be able to taste this thing.”
The two of them will definitely return to the federation!
“Yeah.” Meeting Ning Yiyuan’s resolute gaze, Mo Chu nodded her head heavily.
However, there were already people who had their eyes set on this cake. After moving around for a long time, they finally heard their words. Their eyes could not help but blaze as they hurriedly spoke. “Um… can you resell your cake to me? You can name any price.”
Mo Chu turned her head. A youth with red lips and white teeth was eyeing the black forest cake in Mo Chu’s hand with longing in his eyes.
However, Ning Yiyuan coldly glanced at him and said three words, “Not for sale.”
Then, he turned around and left, leaving behind a youth who was staring at them with a heart-wrenching gaze. His gaze was sorrowful. Dessert was his favorite. Now, he could only watch it leave…
In order to win over Ning Yiyuan, a wind-element expert, the base had specially prepared a suite for him. It was just north of the base, quiet and safe. The others were not so lucky. Mo Chu walked to the back and saw that it was full of tents, one after another, densely packed.
The base also had housing, which could be rented or bought. However, unlike the 21st century, transactions were not done with money, but with real food and supplies. Most people were already very impressive to be able to escape to the base. They simply did not have extra food to rent or buy a house. In the end, they could only take a tent and find an empty place to settle down.
What was even more eye-catching was that in front of a few empty tents, a few beautiful girls were kneeling on the ground. In front of them was a small piece of paper. On it were clearly written words: ‘Each time, two steamed buns’. The meaning behind it was self-evident.
Mo Chu’s throat felt slightly congested.
Raising her head to take a look, Ning Yiyuan’s expression was even more stunned. To be honest, his understanding of the world these past few days had truly overturned his previous worldview.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Federation’s women had already become a scarce resource, yet the women here were being bullied by others. In order to cultivate a green plant, the Federation had expended a large amount of manpower and material resources. Meanwhile, the normal plants here were being burned and cut down by people, they did not cherish it at all… For some reason, Ning Yiyuan felt an indescribable sense of irony.
“Ahh! No, save me!” A shrill female voice sounded out. Not far away, a woman was staggering forward. From time to time, she would turn her head to look at the person coming over, her gaze becoming increasingly fearful and despairing.
Behind her, a few men were following behind her at a leisurely pace, their eyes filled with ridicule and ridicule, “Little girl, why are you still running? After following our Big Brother, you don’t have to worry about food and clothing. Such good fortune, you better not foolishly miss it.”
The woman did not speak, but her footsteps became more and more staggering.
When she ran close, Mo Chu could not help but widen her eyes in shock. Even though this woman’s hair was messy and her expression was panicked, it still could not conceal her peerless beauty! Her facial features seemed to be exquisitely carved and her expression was delicate and pitiful. Her pair of watery eyes became even shinier and shinier, making it difficult for people to meet her gaze! It was no wonder that the man behind her was chasing after her relentlessly!
“Help, help!” The woman’s voice became more and more panicked. As she looked at the man behind her who was getting closer and closer, her gaze instantly flowed down. Her posture was delicate, causing the eyes of the few men behind her to become even more fiery!
“Run, you run!” The man suddenly exerted his strength and took a few steps forward to stop the woman. His filthy eyes swept over the woman from top to bottom. Finally, he caressed the woman’s fair little face with a frivolous movement, his stinky mouth kept moving closer to her face.
In the face of this scene, the people around them did not react at all. They stared at them with numb eyes, as if this kind of thing had been common for a long time.
“Go away, go away!” The woman was still screaming, and her eyes inadvertently fell on Ning Yiyuan. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a hint of pleading in them. “Save me, save me!”
Ning Yiyuan frowned slightly, but his figure did not move.
He had seen this kind of thing more than once. However, he had been busy looking for Little Chu before, so he did not care about it at all. Usually, it would just pass by in a flash, but this was the first time he had seen the whole story.
“The man in the middle is the nephew of the head of the base,” Lan Wei walked over and said in a low voice with a frown. “So even if he does something evil, not many people dare to stop him.”
After all, everyone had to live under the Xia Family. Who would ask for trouble?!
“Then…”Mo Chu turned her head, looking a little reluctant. Just as she was about to open her mouth, Ning Yiyuan interrupted her. “Okay, let’s go.”
As he spoke, he gave a slight nod to Lan Wei before leading Mo Chu away.
On the other hand, Mo Chu revealed a puzzled expression. She had thought that Ning Yiyuan would make a move to save the woman. After all, protecting women was a creed that was engraved in the bones of the Federation people. How could ning Yiyuan leave so casually?
“There’s something wrong with that woman.” Seeing Mo Chu’s puzzled expression, Ning Yiyuan only gave a simple explanation and did not say anything else.
These words made Mo Chu more and more confused. What was not right? Why did she not see it?
