Harry Potter: Impossibly Cute

Ling Bai narrowed his eyes and looked towards the sky.

“This will make your eyes uncomfortable.”

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't know when the next time will come out."

Gellert stiffened.

"You talk like a hedgehog now, always with thorns"

Ling Bai glanced at him.

"Otherwise, do you expect me to say something nice? Do you think it's possible?"

Gellert remained silent. Of course he knew it was impossible. He was just greedy.

It turns out that humans are insatiable animals.

When you don't have it, you always think it would be nice once you have it, but after you have it, you will have endless desire and greed.

This is the situation with Gellert and Tom now.

"I remember the chef said that we need to prepare a lot of things. I have already bought them. We will make dumplings together later."

Ling Bai really doubted whether the dumplings made by Gellert were edible.

“Are you sure you want to make dumplings?”

"certainly"

Ling Bai didn't say anything else, and Gellert contacted the chef on his cell phone.

Ling Bai was still surprised when he saw the phone.

“Have you all started using mobile phones now?”

"Yes, Riddle and his team have already introduced some of them temporarily, but they haven't yet made sure that everyone can use mobile phones."

"Then how does your mobile phone's network connect to other mobile phones?"

"Well, maybe magic, I don't really know."

Gellert connected with the chef and looked at the restaurant full of delicious food.

Ling Bai knew that he had to make these dumplings.

Gellert listened carefully to the chef's instructions and followed every step.

The minced meat had already been prepared by the house-elves, and Gellert only needed to add various seasonings to it.

But just this made him feel overwhelmed.

Ling Bai looked at the neatly arranged dumpling skins and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the dumpling skins are ready-made.

Otherwise, at Riddle's rate, they might not be able to eat dumplings by midnight.

No matter how tortuous the process was, the final result was that the dumpling filling was ready.

The meat filling and dumpling skins are ready, and the next most important step is making the dumplings.

"Will you?"

Ling Bai asked again, and this time Gellert remained silent.

Ling Bai raised his eyebrows, picked up a piece of dumpling wrapper, put the filling on it, pinched the edges, and pushed out the folds. In just a few seconds, a dumpling appeared in front of Gellert.

Gellert's eyes lit up.

"So you can make dumplings, baby."

"I lived there for so many years, of course I would"

"Then teach me"

Ling Bai slowed down his pace, and Gellert began to learn from him.

Pick up the dumpling wrapper and put the dumpling filling on it.

"You can't do that. If you don't pinch the edges tightly, the dumplings will fall apart immediately after they're put into the pot."

"Wait, you put too much filling in the dumplings, it's overflowing, this still doesn't work"

"no……"

After several failures and various strange dumpling shapes, Gellert finally made a dumpling that was half-decent.

“How about this?”

"Not bad, he learns pretty quickly"

Gellert instantly smiled with satisfaction, like a child being praised.

“Okay, I know how to wrap it.”

When Tom came back from his work, he saw two people busy in the kitchen.

When Tom saw Ling Bai, he was stunned at first, then his eyes darkened slightly.

"What are you doing?"

"Making dumplings, it's time for you to come back and we can eat them in a while"

Gellert was absorbed in making dumplings. Although he answered Tom, he never raised his eyes.

Instead, Ling Bai glanced at Tom.

Tom couldn't help laughing and held out his hand.

Ling Bai was slightly stunned when he felt his cheek being touched.

“The flour is all over my face”

Gellert then raised his head and looked at Ling Bai.

The result was that Ling Bai burst out laughing.

"How come you got flour all over your face just making dumplings?"

Ling Bai patted the flour in his hands and found a clean towel to wipe it for him.

Gellert's heart skipped a beat at the long-awaited intimate gesture.

His efforts this afternoon were worth it.

"That's enough, these dumplings are enough for the three of us."

The house-elf very tactfully appeared in the kitchen and took the dumplings away.

The table, which was a little messy just now, immediately became tidy and clean after being cleaned up by the house-elf.

Ling Bai wanted to drink some water, but just after taking a few steps forward, he was pulled back by a force from behind.

When he looked back, he saw that the chain had been straightened and he could only reach here.

"What to do"

Gellert stood up instantly.

Ling Bai's smile, which had just been on his face, immediately disappeared.

"Nothing, just going to drink some water"

"I'll go with you"

Ling Bai didn't say anything. After drinking the water, he sat on the chair and stopped talking.

Gellert could naturally guess why Ling Bai was angry.

But he was also very clear at this time that he couldn't speak. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make.

Tom sat down as well, the house elf moving very quickly.

In just over ten minutes, the dumplings were served steaming hot.

“Have a try”

Gellert picked one for Ling Bai.

Ling Bai looked at the plump dumplings in the bowl and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Pick up the dumpling, put it to your mouth and take a bite.

The aroma of tender meat and refreshing vegetables mixed together is really good.

"How about it"

Gellert's eyes were full of anticipation.

"not bad"

Gellert breathed a sigh of relief and took one himself to taste.

After eating one, his eyes lit up.

“This is much more delicious than what’s sold outside.”

“Maybe it’s because of your own labor.”

Gellert clearly felt that Ling Bai's attitude towards him had become much softer this afternoon and up to now.

This finally allowed his heart, which had been injured over the past two days, to begin to recover little by little.

But no matter how good the ending is today, he still has to return to that cage.

Ling Bai looked at the space where it was once again impossible to distinguish between day and night, and the smile in his eyes faded little by little.

Gellert had just come up from the basement to take a shower before joining him when Tom stopped him.

"What are you doing? Why didn't you tell me about this when you brought him here today?"

"I only take him out occasionally. He has been locked up for more than ten days."

"But neither you nor I can guarantee whether those formations can trap him."

"Didn't you see that nothing happened today?"

"What if he did it on purpose to reduce our suspicion?"

"But it's not a good idea to keep him locked up there. Any normal person would go crazy there. Even someone as powerful as him would die sooner or later."

For the first time, Tom and Garrett had a disagreement.

"If you continue like this, I think it's dangerous to keep the key in your hands."
