[Love and Producer] Passive strategy

Li Zeyan frowned silently, as if thinking about it.After a long silence, he said, "You can judge this kind of thing by yourself."

Li Youxue glanced at him sideways, observed his unhappy expression, and continued on purpose, "I'm afraid you won't be able to invite me then, I'm disappointed."

Li Zeyan glared at her with a cold face: "So much nonsense... get in the car."

"Where are you going?" Li Youxue opened the car door and asked him casually.

"...Today is Christmas, what do you want to do?" Li Zeyan asked her vaguely with a hesitant expression.

"You taught me how to make dessert?" Li Youxue thought about it and asked him tentatively.

Li Zeyan didn't say anything, and quickly started the car.

——So Li Youxue understood that he agreed.

……

"What are you going to do?" In Souvenir's back kitchen, Li Zeyan turned on the lights and asked her in a low voice.

"The little gingerbread men I see on TV are so cute." Li Youxue couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she thought of the food show that Qiluo participated in last week on Christmas Eve.

"That? I see." Li Zeyan's expression changed, as if thinking of something, he smiled slightly.

The raw materials needed for gingerbread are far more complicated than pudding and cake. After Li Zeyan prepared everything, he set up a first-class cooking table.

"Tell me, I'll tune in!" Li Youxue rolled up her sleeves and announced to him with righteous words.

Li Zeyan looked at her with a half-smile and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's start—half a cup of ghee, half a cup of sugar, half a teaspoon of baking soda, one teaspoon of baking powder, and one teaspoon of ginger powder..."

Li Youxue moved very quickly. According to the order of the ingredients on the table in her memory, she added them to the glass dish one by one, and carefully stirred them with a large wooden spoon.

"Your stirring is in the wrong direction." Li Zeyan couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at it, and took the spoon in her hand to stir for her. "Here I come, you go and turn on the oven, 190 degrees Celsius, preheat the square plate with oil."

Li Youxue's attitude was very firm: "No, I want to do it myself! Go and open the oven, leave it to me."

"...idiot." Li Zeyan sighed helplessly, took two steps back to make room for her, but instead of turning on the oven as she said, he stood behind her and held the handle of the spoon exposed above her little hand part, and stir together with her hands. "Don't stir it, stir it in one direction, from the center to the sides."

His voice was deeper and gentler than usual. The warmth and roughness of his palm touched the back of Li Youxue's right hand, making her tremble unconsciously, and she immediately controlled her hand calmly.

But Li Zeyan also noticed the trembling at that moment. He lowered his eyebrows and looked at her, his lips curled up slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Li Youxue always felt that she had discovered another weakness.This feeling was not very good, so she immediately gave up stirring, put the spoon to Li Zeyan and got out from under his arm: "I'm going to open the oven."

Li Zeyan looked back at her quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, before he lowered his head and continued his stirring.

The kneaded dough had to be refrigerated for three hours in the middle, and the two of them took advantage of the gap to do what they wanted to do - Li Zeyan was cooking dinner, while Li Youxue, who knew her culinary talent very well, chose to sit aside and eat Watch variety shows on your phone.

"Do you think this is like a scene where father is cooking and daughter is playing?" Li Youxue sat on the stool for a while and asked him on a whim.

Li Zeyan glared at her with a dark face: "I'm not that old, I can't be your father."

Li Youxue suppressed a smile and refused to answer the question.

Li Zeyan didn't continue to get angry, but instead asked her thoughtfully, "How are you and your father doing?"

Li Youxue immediately flipped through the few memories given by the system, and said honestly, "I was adopted by my father. If it's good, it would be great to change from an orphan to a spoiled little princess." Yes. Now that I think about it, it’s been a long time since I last saw him, so he’s a little strange.”

"Adopt you?" Li Zeyan thought about it for a while, and suddenly became determined. "When you were five years old?"

"Yes, how do you know?" Li Youxue asked him subconsciously.

Li Zeyan paused, expressionless: "Because I couldn't find you that year."

"What did you say?" Li Youxue was surprised... mainly because he didn't expect this person to have a showdown with her at this moment. "17 years ago? I've always wondered what the hell happened that year."

Li Zeyan was silent for a while, and replied slowly: "It's nothing. At that time, I ran away from home on a whim, and I almost got hit by a car when I met a big idiot who liked to eat pudding but could poison people to death in the middle of the road."

Listening to this narration, Li Youxue always felt very angry: "Are you mocking me? You are so awesome, you can stop eating what I make, and you won't be poisoned to death."

Li Zeyan was stunned for a moment, then sighed slightly: "I still can't grasp the point...forget it, I'm used to it." His voice was very low.

Li Youxue didn't hear clearly, and asked him suspiciously, "Did you scold me just now?"

Li Zeyan said seriously: "No, you heard wrong."

……

When Li Zeyan took the baked gingerbread out of the oven, the whole back kitchen was filled with a rich sweet aroma.

Li Youxue leaned over excitedly and looked at the little people of the same size that were pressed out of the mold, making it feel more realistic to celebrate Christmas.

"I'll decorate." She said slightly happily, picked up the colored icing and began to squeeze on the little figure.

Li Zeyan sat on the side, watching her draw the villain as... a black tie, black hair and blue eyes, and a red scarf, black princess head and black eyes.And the rest of the villains were all ignored by her, lying naked on the baking tray.

"Hey, look, this expressionless face looks a lot like you." Li Youxue showed him the gingerbread man with a black tie, looking smug.

Li Zeyan took a look—not only was there no expression, but there were only eyes on that face.

"The thing looks like a master, and it's for you to eat." Li Youxue was still immersed in the excitement of artistic creation, and gave him the gingerbread man.

"..." Li Zeyan silently glanced at the other villain in the pan, and suddenly suggested: "Exchange."

"You don't want to eat yourself?" Li Youxue was taken aback, she never thought he would have such an idea.

"Well," Li Zeyan said with a serious face, "I want to eat you."

"Who told you this was me?" Li Youxue squinted at him. "Tell you, this is Kaguya Hime."

"Who is Kaguya Ji?" Li Zeyan asked without thinking.

A mysterious smile floated on Li Youxue's face: "Don't you know? Japanese myths and legends. She appeared from the bamboo on a moonlit night. She captivated the world because of her beauty, and finally disappeared in the sky because of the call of the gods."

Li Zeyan was stunned, and his expression became indescribable: "You really know how to put gold on your face." After finishing speaking, he picked up the female gingerbread figurine, took a bite, and with a crisp "click", directly ended its short life.

Li Youxue stood there in a daze, feeling the crisp sound echoing in her mind.When she took a closer look at the pitiful appearance of the villain without his head, she immediately felt extremely distressed: "Li Zeyan, you made a foul, and you just ate it!"

While chewing with a blank face, Li Zeyan commented coldly: "It's unpalatable, it must be due to poor seasoning."

Li Youxue, who was in charge of the seasoning: "...I told you, don't eat it if you find it unpalatable!" And she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she always felt that Li Zeyan chewed it very loudly as if he was trying to annoy her on purpose.

With strong resentment, she turned her head and went to get the man's gingerbread man, intentionally biting it "crack".

However, Li Zeyan didn't care, not only did he not care, he even looked in a good mood, his cobalt blue eyes seemed to be a little lighter, making them look brighter.

A gingerbread man procrastinated to eat it until Li Youxue remembered that he forgot to taste the taste, so he could only purse his lips blankly and recall it carefully.

——It doesn’t seem to be difficult to eat, does it?According to Li Zeyan's ingredient list, how unpalatable is it? !

"Keep eating if you want to." She was still thinking about it when she heard Li Zeyan's low voice suddenly falling from the top of her head.Then, another gingerbread man was stuffed into her mouth.

... This time Li Youxue is really sure: Isn't the gingerbread man just a brown sugar cookie with a little ginger flavor!It tastes just like that!Not bad or tasty!

……

When Li Zeyan drove her home, he slowed down on purpose.The lights are bright along the way, and beautiful Christmas trees, Christmas dummies, deer puppets and decorative gift boxes are placed at the entrances of major shopping malls, and the whole city is full of Christmas atmosphere.

Li Youxue lowered the windows and let the cool wind blow into the car, as if it still carried the festive atmosphere.

Li Zeyan glanced at her from time to time while driving, remembering her rare girlish expression when eating gingerbread, he couldn't help the smile on the corner of his mouth.

The car stopped downstairs at Li Youxue's house.

Li Youxue opened the car door, and she still remembered smiling back at Li Zeyan, "Thank you for the hospitality today, and Merry Christmas."

"You said it once." Li Zeyan raised his eyes to look at her, and said indifferently.

Li Youxue didn't really look forward to his answer, and she didn't bother to say much when she was so cold, so she rolled her eyes and closed the car door before leaving.

The driver's window suddenly came down behind her, and Li Zeyan's deliberately lowered voice came from it: "Merry Christmas."

Li Youxue concentrated on finding the key to open the door. She didn't hear the sound of the car starting. She smiled secretly, but didn't look back, and went upstairs on her own.

On New Year's Day, Li Zeyan did not take the initiative to contact Li Youxue again, which relieved her a little - it would have been nice to go to the venue by herself, but it was annoying that Li Zeyan kept emphasizing that she would get lost.

Throughout the day, Li Youxue spent the holiday at home drinking coffee and planning, leisurely and happily.

As a result, in the afternoon, Wei Qian called: "Miss Li, Mr. Li asked me to pick up a dress and bring it to you. It's downstairs at your house."

Li Youxue remembered that it was Li Zeyan who took her to choose a custom-made dress, so she had no choice but to go downstairs to get it.

Wei Qian was waiting downstairs in Li Zeyan's Maybach. Seeing her face, he first smiled, and then eagerly handed over a big box: "Miss Li, Mr. Li told you to change your dress. I'll wait here and send it to you." You go to the venue."

— Waiting here for a long time?The corner of Li Youxue's mouth twitched, and she asked decisively, "What did he say?"

Of course Wei Qian didn't dare to repeat it as it was, and explained in a stuttering manner: "Mr. Li, he is afraid that you will get lost and go late..."

For such a familiar reason, Li Youxue could imagine Li Zeyan's mocking expression and tone when he said this.

No matter how angry you are, it's always inappropriate to vent on innocent people.Li Youxue pondered for a while, and then responded politely: "Okay, then I'll trouble you to wait a little longer."

Wei Qian immediately showed a understanding expression: "It should, it should."
