Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

"Huo Cheng, you go upstairs and don't come down." Old Mrs. Huo had no intention of blaming the Kassell siblings. She just said this lightly.

Nadel was standing next to her, looking at her cousin with disdain, and the more he looked at her, the more unhappy he felt.

Huo Cheng clenched her fists, her newly-made nails almost digging into her flesh. When she felt the pain in her hands, she finally came to her senses. She forced a smile. Why? Why didn't her grandmother say anything when Huo Huan hit her?

Why does grandma favor these two siblings?

Why? Why?

Nadel raised an eyebrow at Huo Cheng, stretched out his hand and made a gun gesture, pretended to make a "bang", and then pretended to blow it.

Kassell who was standing next to him naturally saw it as well, but he didn't say much, just touched his nose indifferently.

This girl might be more familiar with the structure and assembly of certain firearms than he is. If he makes her angry, Huo Cheng might really end up like this.

Looking at what Nadel did, Huo Cheng bit his lip. Others might just be pretending, but this wild child might really do that.

So she didn't say much, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and went upstairs.

After watching Huo Cheng go up, Mrs. Huo's eyes flickered, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Nadel winked at his good brother and raised his chin in the direction where Huo Cheng left. Kassell understood immediately.

He took Mrs. Huo to the back garden, saying that the house was too stuffy and he wanted to talk to her since he had finally come back.

Mrs. Huo was coaxed out by Kassell.

Nadel folded his arms across his chest and looked upstairs, with a strange smile on his face, and walked upstairs step by step.

……

Shanlai had already made the cake base and was concentrating on cutting the fruit. After cutting, he slowly began to spread the cream on the cake.

The class stood by and watched her movements like a curious baby, afraid of missing even a small detail.

When he was halfway through, seeing that Lei was still looking like a curious baby, Shanlai handed him the piping bag.

He took it with stiff hands. He didn't know how to do this.

Looking at his confused little expression, Shan Lai sighed and shook her head, holding his hand and making lace seriously.

It's a wonderful feeling to make desserts with the girl you like.

At least that's what the class thinks.

I let her hold my hand, and after a few minutes I changed the piping bag and started making lace again.

To the left is the decoration part. Shan Lai carefully puts the fresh fruits he bought on the cake, for fear of accidentally ruining the whole cake.

Seeing that she seemed to be too busy, Lei also followed her example and clumsily put blueberries on the cake. Either they put them in the wrong place or they rolled off the cake. The lace they had just made was smashed to pieces by the rolling blueberries.

Shan Lai was watching his clumsy appearance and laughing. The more he watched, the funnier it became. "Lei, my stupid boyfriend, you ruined the cake I made."

"I don't know whether to cry or laugh." Shanlai looked at Lei with a helpless look, and she laughed so hard that tears came out.

Lei was holding the strawberries in his hand at a loss, not knowing where to put them. He could only stand there looking at her aggrieved and helplessly, "I also wanted to put the blueberries on properly, but the blueberries seemed not to listen to me, so they rolled down. I didn't mean to do that." He silently put down the strawberries in his hand, afraid that after he put them on, the whole cake and her afternoon's hard work would be wasted.

Looking at his silly look, Shan Lai took a step forward and spread the remaining fruits on the surface of the cake. "Okay, okay, I don't blame you. It's all because these fruits are ignorant. Don't be sad, my dear little Hua Ze Lei." Shan Lai coaxed him.

Even after being coaxed, she couldn't help laughing. She had also been to a kindergarten when she was in Country M. The way the teachers there taught the children to make toast was not much different from what she was teaching now.

If we have to say the difference, it is that the kindergarten kid is less than five years old, while the older boy next to him is twenty.

Well, it’s only fifteen years apart, so the age difference isn’t that big.

He could tell she was teasing him, but he didn't get annoyed. He just reached out and touched his head helplessly.

He doesn't know how to do it, so he can just watch from the side and not cause trouble for her.

Shanlai finally put the remaining fruits on and clapped her hands to indicate that the job was done. "It's finally done, little Huaze Lei, go over and get two plates." She pointed to the small plates among the pile of ingredients she had bought.

"Oh." Lei obediently walked to the kitchen counter, took two plates and handed them to her with both hands.

Taking the knife and fork used for cutting cakes next to him, Shanlai cut a piece of cake and handed it to Lei. There was a pink bear fork on it. "Little Hanazawa Lei, come and try the cake I made and see how it tastes." A pair of big eyes blinked as he looked at him.

Class took the fork and took a bite happily.

It tastes better than what he makes.

He wanted a second bite after the first one, and he quickly finished the small plate of cake. Then he handed the empty plate to her seriously.

Shanlai was stunned for a moment. Did he want to eat more?

But he doesn't like sweets.

Thinking of this, Shan Lai put the empty plate he handed over aside and said, "Okay, dessert is only for eating occasionally to satisfy your cravings. Eating too much is not good. Be good, little Huaze Rui, and stop eating." Then she cut a small piece for herself and started eating in front of him with a fork.

A smug smile played at the corners of her lips.

He can't eat it, but he didn't say she can't eat it.

Lei just looked at her in confusion, watching her take a bite of the cake with satisfaction, and then raise her smug smirk. He lowered his head without hesitation and took a bite of her cake.

Shanlai was stunned.

She looked at the cake with a missing corner, and then looked at someone who was happily eating it. At that moment, if she was in kindergarten, she would definitely be a stubborn child who would insist on eating even if she was not allowed to.

This kid is a bit rebellious.

There was a little cream on the tip of its nose and the corners of its lips, making it look a bit like a little mouse that was caught stealing food and refused to admit it.

"This is delicious." Lei pointed to the piece of cake in her hand and lowered his head to take another bite.

Shan Lai changed the cake to another hand and stretched it far away, "Don't do that, how can a child not be obedient?" He looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Are you right, Hua Ze Lei?"

Lei was stunned, looking at her smirk, an unknown smile flashed in his eyes, "Are you sure you want to do this, kitten?" He spoke in a gentle tone.

Shan Lai silently pulled her hand back, not daring to look him in the eye.
