After all, Mu Xu didn't go out to buy new clothes. He couldn't beat Chi Juntao, so he tried on all the clothes the other party had hoarded, fully satisfying Chi Juntao's desire to dress up.

"This set, this set and this set." Chi Juntao put the selected clothes into the storage basket, "They all look good, you take them."

"..." Mu Xu hugged the bamboo basket that Chi Juntao stuffed over, "Thank you."

"Do you have any plans for the evening?" Chi Juntao asked.

"No." Mu Xu said, "I want to try making egg tarts."

"Oh." Chi Juntao said, "I'm in the room, call me if you need something."

"?" Mu Xu looked at him in bewilderment, suppressed the question, and walked out of the small bedroom with the bamboo basket in his arms.

Chi Juntao took out his laptop and played a video with his friends far away in Dalian. Cao Hanyang appeared on the screen and waved his hands, only to hear the door of the small bedroom being pushed open, and Mu Xu's voice came: "Why don't you come with me? ?”

"Let me chat with Hanyang and the others about the process of the engagement banquet tomorrow." Chi Juntao turned his head and looked at Mu Xu.

"Okay." Mu Xu nodded, he closed the door of the small bedroom and walked to the kitchen.

Chi Juntao looked at Cao Hanyang on the screen with a smile, and pretended to complain: "Hey, Mu Xu is too clingy to me."

"..." Cao Hanyang rolled his eyes angrily.

Mu Xu turned on the tablet, set it up on the chopping board, and followed the voice of the tutorial step by step, first separating the egg yolk from the egg white.He bent down, carefully scooped out the egg yolk with a spoon, and put the egg yolk into another bowl.The separation of egg liquid and egg white is extremely difficult, and he patiently peels off the egg yolk over and over again.

Finally, put five egg yolks into another bowl, add a spoonful of white sugar, Mu Xu picked up the egg beater to break up the egg liquid, then added whipped cream and milk and mixed well.

Chi Juntao appeared at the kitchen door and asked, "How can I help?"

"Aren't you busy?" Mu Xu picked up the strainer and put it on the bowl, and filtered the stirred egg liquid again.

"I don't want to miss your first bakery." Chi Juntao rolled up his sleeves and stood by the sink to wash his hands.

"Help me wrap the tinfoil on the baking tray." Mu Xu said, "I bought egg tart skin, it's very simple to make."

Chi Juntao tore off a piece of tin foil, wrapped it tightly on the baking tray, and asked, "What dessert do you like?"

"It's all right." Mu Xu said, "I'm not picky."

"Mango mousse or blueberry mousse, which one do you choose?" Chi Juntao asked.

"Mango." Mu Xu said.

"OK." Chi Juntao continued to ask, "Black forest cake or lemon rum cheesecake?"

"Lemon rum," Mu Xu said.

Chi Juntao asked questions one by one according to the list he had made, and when he got the answer, he ticked it off in his heart.Although Mu Xu is not picky about food, he prefers lemon and wine-flavored desserts. Chi Juntao remembered a lot, and Mu Xu asked, "What do you like to eat?"

"Nuts." Chi Juntao said, "I ordered desserts of hazelnuts and almonds."

Mu Xu lifted the baking tray and put it in the oven, set it at 200 degrees to bake for 23 minutes, he clapped his hands: "Okay, let's go to the living room and wait."

"Where are the flowers? What color do you like?" Chi Juntao asked.

"Light blue and light purple are fine." Mu Xu said, "What about you?"

"Goose yellow." Chi Juntao said, "When I was in elementary school, there was a row of magnolia trees planted next to the playground. The yellow magnolia flowers were the most beautiful. I often went to pick up the fallen petals under the tree."

"I thought you started fighting in elementary school." Mu Xu said.

Chi Juntao touched his nose in embarrassment, and whispered, "I only started fighting in junior high school."

Mu Xu pinched the back of Young Master Chi's neck. He especially liked pinching Chi Juntao like this, like pinching a big cat.

Not only did Chi Juntao not refuse, he snuggled into Mu Xu's arms, touched the remote control to turn on the TV, and said, "I've taken two days off and will go to work next Wednesday."

"Why?" Mu Xu asked.

"I'm engaged." Chi Juntao said, "There's no one who goes to work right after getting engaged."

"Your grandfather agrees?" Mu Xu asked.

"I asked for personal leave." Chi Juntao said lazily, "I told my grandpa that I'm in a bad mood recently, so I'll take two days off."

"I thought you asked for a wedding leave." Mu Xu said.

"I didn't want to piss my grandfather off." Chi Juntao said, "I don't know what he was like when he was young, but he was always my grandfather and treated me very well."

Mu Xu's hand kneading the back of Chi Juntao's neck stopped, and he dropped it on the sofa. Chi Juntao noticed something unusual, he looked up at Mu Xu's chin, sat up nervously, and said, "Don't be angry. "

"I'm not angry." Mu Xu said, he looked at the scrolling subtitles at the bottom of the TV screen, "Your words are fine."

Chi Juntao shut his mouth, he felt aggrieved and sad, it was obviously not his fault, the conflicts of the previous generation just made his relationship with Mu Xu into a mess, and no matter what he did, he couldn't make up for it Injuries caused by past events.

The oven in the kitchen made a "ding—" sound, and Mu Xu stood up and went to the kitchen to take out the baked egg tart.Chi Juntao followed behind him, stood at the door of the kitchen and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"You don't have to do anything." Mu Xu turned on the oven, put on thick cotton gloves and took out the baking tray. The egg tarts on the plate were golden and crisp, and the smoke wafted up. He put the egg tarts on the plate one by one, and served them to Chi Juntao A plate, said, "This is none of your business."

"I hope you and my grandfather can, let alone get along well, at least when I mention him, not like this." Chi Juntao said.

"What's going on now?" Mu Xu asked.

Chi Juntao took a deep breath and said, "I feel like you want to slap the baking pan on my face."

Mu Xu frowned, and he said, "Get out."

Chi Juntao slumped his shoulders and muttered, "I just said you're angry." He walked towards the living room with a freshly baked egg tart.

Mu Xu tore off the tin foil on the baking tray and threw it into the trash can, bent over and stood by the sink and turned on the faucet to clean the baking tray. He was not really angry, but he was actually overwhelmed by Chi Juntao's appearance of dealing with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Accompanied by the sound of splashing water in the kitchen, Chi Juntao stared at the six egg tarts on the coffee table and replayed what happened just now. He went through the conversation between the two in his mind, trying to find out the root cause of the problem.

Mu Xu shook his hands, wiped his hands with a piece of kitchen paper, walked out of the kitchen, and heard Chi Juntao say, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

"Eat the egg tart." Mu Xu didn't care about Chi Juntao's attitude. It's normal for young people to speak recklessly and not think carefully.

"No, listen to me." Chi Juntao didn't like Mu Xu treating him like a child very much. He wanted Mu Xu to see his reflection and apology. Mu Xu had a deep-rooted Electra complex. Treat him as a child who hasn't grown up, when will he be put in Mu Xu's eyes.

Mu Xu was dragged to sit beside him by Chi Juntao, and said word by word: "I was wrong, I had a problem with my attitude just now, I will pay attention in the future, and don't mention my grandpa in front of you."

"You don't have to be so cautious." Mu Xu said, "He is your relative."

"But you're not feeling well." Chi Juntao said, "I want you to be happy."

Mu Xu was silent. On the same day, he heard two people solemnly say to him that he wished him a good life and wanted him to be happy. He picked up an egg tart, took a small bite, and said, "I'm very happy."

Chi Juntao rubbed his cheeks in frustration, and secretly explained to himself that knocking on Mu Xu's heart was not something that could be done in a day, at least he got a precious ticket, and he was the only one left in the hunting ground.

Mu Xu picked up the egg tart and handed it to Chi Juntao's mouth, saying, "Try it, it's delicious, not too sweet."

Chi Juntao opened his mouth, took a bite of the egg tart with Mu Xu's hand, and licked Mu Xu's fingers with the tip of his tongue. He picked up the egg tart and shrank his shoulders, avoiding Mu Xu's hand that came to pinch his neck.

Mu Xu took out a tissue to wipe off the saliva on his hands, he was completely used to Chi Juntao's sudden hooliganism.

Chi Juntao ate a whole egg tart and said, "Can you stop hitting me at the engagement banquet tomorrow?"

"It depends on your performance." Mu Xu said.

"But that was an engagement banquet." Chi Juntao raised his hand, "I'm applying for an exemption."

"Rejected." Mu Xu said, "Your actions are too extreme and I will throw you into the sea to feed the sharks."

"...But it was an engagement banquet." Chi Juntao's voice became smaller and smaller, looking extremely aggrieved.

Mu Xu looked at him for a while, and this guy became more and more adept at pretending to be pitiful. Even though he knew that Young Master Chi was putting on a show, Mr. Mu still took a step back: "I'll beat you until the day after tomorrow."

"OK." Chi Juntao cheered up, he was always drunk today, no matter what floods would hit the sky in the future, and Mu Xu could do whatever he wanted with the door closed.
