Ye Moran rushed into the kitchen only to see the Little Fellow standing on a small stool, holding a spatula already stained with an unknown black substance.
Wisps of black smoke were rising from the frying pan in front of him. Hearing the noise, Su Ling turned around and revealed an innocent smile.
“Hehe, Elder Sister, I’m making breakfast for you.”
Ye Moran’s expression stiffened as she forced a smile.
“Let — let me see.”
She approached tremblingly. When she saw the contents of the pan, her vision nearly went dark, and she almost fainted.
Two eggs were frying in the pan, but the yolks and whites were almost completely separated. Parts of the eggs had already turned black. Although the yolks hadn’t turned black, they were broken and scattered everywhere across the frying pan, with some even spilling outside.
Ye Moran’s mouth twitched, and she swallowed hard.
“Little Fellow, you don’t have to go through all this trouble. Just leave the rest to me. Go and — go take a rest.”
“No, I’m not done yet!”
“Wait, I still have to heat milk for you to drink.”
Ye Moran smiled forcedly and placed a hand on the Little Fellow’s shoulder.
“I — I think it’s about ready. Leave the remaining finishing touches to me!”
“Besides, I want to make breakfast for you too. How about this? You make it for me, and I’ll make it for you. That way, we can both eat the breakfast the other person made. Does that sound good?”
Su Ling tilted his head and thought for a moment. Feeling that it sounded like a good idea, he nodded.
“Alright then. You handle the eggs, and I’ll heat the milk!”
“Okay!”
Ye Moran nodded and picked the Little Fellow up, moving him off the stool. Then, she stared at the eggs in the pan and fell into deep thought.
She took a deep breath. She could eat this kind of thing herself, but she absolutely could not let the Little Fellow eat it!
She had a strong constitution and could handle it. The Little Fellow was different; his constitution was weak. It would be bad if he got sick from eating it!
After managing to salvage the eggs slightly, she plated them and began cleaning the counter thoroughly. Once the cleaning was complete, she started making breakfast for the Little Fellow.
She didn’t make fried eggs because that would make the Little Fellow’s eggs look worthless by comparison, so she made something else.
While she worked, she also kept an eye on the Little Fellow nearby, watching him heat the milk.
She hadn’t forgotten the time the Little Fellow heated milk and caused foam to explode everywhere, leaving the milk with a burnt smell that was completely undrinkable.
Su Ling was heating it very seriously. He knew he often made mistakes, so he listened intently. His small spoon kept stirring the milk in the cup to prevent it from burning like last time.
“It’s about ready. You can pour the milk out now.”
Ye Moran saw the steam rising from the cup. To avoid drinking something terrible, she couldn’t help but remind him.
“Can I pour it — now?”
“But I feel like it’s not hot enough yet. It hasn’t started bubbling like boiling water.”
“Tsk, it doesn’t need to be that hot. This is fine. Hurry and pour it.”
“Alright.”
‘Elder Sister is much more capable than me. Listening to her shouldn’t be a mistake.’
With that thought, he carefully poured the milk into two cups. The moment he poured it, a faint milky scent wafted up from the cups.
Su Ling smiled happily when he smelled the aroma. This was the first time he had heated milk that smelled this good; in the past, it always carried a bit of a strange scent.
“It’s done!”
“Elder Sister, try it. It feels like it will be delicious.”
Su Ling held the milk. He felt this milk was better than any he had ever made before and couldn’t wait for his sister to try it.
Ye Moran felt a warmth in her heart as she watched the Little Fellow run over. She took the cup and took a small sip. ‘It’s delicious. The Little Fellow is amazing!’
“Hehe!”
Su Ling felt wonderful inside. He had been praised by his sister! She rarely praised him in the past.
“Alright, I’m almost done here too. Take the milk to the dining table. I’ll plate the food and bring it over!”
“Okay!”
Su Ling responded and carefully carried the two cups of milk to the living room. After placing them on the dining table, he sat down and stared expectantly toward the kitchen.
Ye Moran looked at the two plates of breakfast in her hands and sighed silently. However, she forced a smile. She couldn’t look like she was eating something disgusting in front of him.
Otherwise, the Little Fellow would be sad. Therefore, she had to pretend it was delicious and finish the plate of what could barely be identified as fried eggs!
As for what she had made for him, it was a simple hamburger and a hot dog. The Little Fellow didn’t have a big appetite. Actually, one hamburger or one hot dog would have been enough, but she was afraid he wouldn’t be full.
And if the Little Fellow couldn’t finish the other portion, she would have the honor of finishing the leftovers!
Thinking this, she walked out with the breakfast, a large smile on her face.
“So, did you wait long? Hurry and eat.”
“Mm-hmm, Sister should eat too!”
Su Ling smiled happily and began eating a hot dog. As he ate, he watched his sister intently, seeing her eat his handiwork bite by bite. An earnest smile spread across his face.
Suppressing the urge to vomit, Ye Moran also maintained a wide smile.
“It’s very delicious. See, I finished it all. You should hurry and eat too!”
“Mm-hmm!”
Seeing the Little Fellow finally look away, Ye Moran immediately picked up the milk and took a large gulp, washing down the feeling of nausea!
She really regretted it now. She regretted praising his breakfast when he was little; she should never have praised him!
Now she had really shot herself in the foot, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn’t bear to make the Little Fellow sad, so she could only swallow the bitterness herself.
“I’m full. You made too much; I can’t finish it.”
Su Ling looked at the remaining half of the hamburger with a look of guilt. His sister had finished all the breakfast he made, but he couldn’t finish what she made.
“It’s fine. I’ll eat the rest!”
“No — that won’t do. I already took a bite.”
“It’s okay, I don’t mind. Besides, wasting food is shameful. You don’t want to be a shameful person, do you, Little Fellow?”
Ye Moran stared with a half-smile at the hamburger the Little Fellow was clutching. ‘A hamburger bitten by the Little Fellow… just thinking about it, it must be delicious!’
“Then I’ll eat it myself!”
“Tsk, fine. What a pity. I didn’t really get full, and my stomach is still hungry.”
Ye Moran shook her head regretfully and stood up to leave, looking disappointed.
Hearing that she wasn’t full, Su Ling’s heart tightened. ‘Is it because I made too little?’
True, his appetite was small, but that didn’t mean hers was. ‘Elder Sister has a big appetite. If I only make that much, she definitely won’t be full.’
After realizing this, he looked down at the hamburger in his arms. ‘Although this feels like an indirect kiss, we’ve done things much more intimate than this. It should be fine, right?’
Thinking of this, he pushed the hamburger forward, his face flushing slightly as he spoke softly.
“Since you’re still hungry… then you can eat it…”
“Okay. Thank you, Little Fellow. Master is very happy!”
