CHAPTER 406: CHAPTER 138: MO YING IS PREGNANT

"How is it? Is it tasty?" Du Xixi also served herself a small bowl, but having already eaten quite a bit for breakfast, she wasn’t hungry. She just tasted a few bites, found it to be the familiar flavor, and put it aside.

For a moment, the chatroom was silent; it seemed everyone was too busy savoring the Lotus Seed Soup to give Du Xixi any feedback.

Du Xixi didn’t mind not receiving responses from everyone. After all, who wouldn’t be happy to make delicious food that others enjoy? She hummed happily and, after serving out the rest of the Lotus Seed Soup for 2569 to take out, began washing the pots and pans with water.

Ke Lian and the others didn’t come inside; since the Lotus Seed Soup was so good, Du Xixi naturally wanted them to try it too.

Though it was a large bowl of Lotus Seed Soup, everyone in the live stream devoured it eagerly. Their thoughts lingered in the sweetness of the soup, lost in the tender lotus seeds and the soft, mushy longan, but before they knew it, they had finished it and hadn’t had their fill!

[——Oh! I want another bowl... No! I want a big pot!

——+1, it’s just not enough!

——To be honest, I just finished breakfast, but faced with the food madam made, I feel like my stomach could double in size!

——I’m usually indifferent to sweets, but with madam’s dessert, I finished every bite and even wanted more! It seems true deliciousness doesn’t lose its charm because of personal preferences.

——LS, you’re a kindred spirit!

——I used to think sweet flavors were too cloying, but after the first bite, I was conquered by the Lotus Seed Soup. Yesterday’s sticky rice lotus root was also delicious, but compared to it, I might personally prefer today’s Lotus Seed Soup.

——All sweet and lovely~

...]

Du Xixi dried her hands, seeing the chatroom filled with praise. Clearly, everyone genuinely liked the Lotus Seed Soup. She smiled, her eyes curving, and softly said, "If I have time this afternoon, I’ll stream again, see you then."

After closing the stream, Du Xixi carried the bowl of Lotus Seed Soup meant for sensory sharing out of the kitchen. 2569, standing outside, quickly reached out and took it, then steadily placed it on the dining table.

As Du Xixi sat at the table, the three adults, including Ke Lian, served themselves a bowl of Lotus Seed Soup. Ke Xing sat across from Du Xixi, gently scooped with his spoon, and let out a sigh of satisfaction as he tasted it.

Ke Lian ate quickly. Not particularly fond of sweets, he only served himself a little to taste. When he saw Du Xixi arrive, he drank the remaining sweet soup in a few sips, cleaned the edges of his mouth, and warmly asked, "Finished? Are you tired?"

"Not tired! This Lotus Seed Soup isn’t tiring." Du Xixi shook her head with a smile, obediently taking hold of Ke Lian’s outstretched hand. The Lotus Seed Soup only took a bit of time; from start to finish, there was nothing technically challenging, even simpler than yesterday’s sticky rice lotus root.

After all, for sticky rice lotus root, you have to make an opening to stuff the rice, seal it with a bamboo stick after, or else the sticky rice might fall out—surely that’s something technical, right?

"Miss." Miao Miao wore a very lovely pink long dress today, with her black hair braided to the side, looking gentle and cute. "I’m heading out to the Imperial Library later, and I might not return until before dinner."

Du Xixi looked at Miao Miao, seeing her bright eyes after finishing her bowl of Lotus Seed Soup. She seemed to really like it, so Du Xixi smiled and served her another half bowl. "Feel free to go, and take a Mechanical Soldier with you."

Miao Miao nodded happily, picked up her bowl, and continued eating the Lotus Seed Soup.

Her taste preferences were quite varied, much like Chen Yin, with nothing she particularly disliked. Apart from a fondness for goose and fish, everything else was optional. Yet, today’s sweet Lotus Seed Soup, so nourishing in the summer, won her over too.

Once they all finished the Lotus Seed Soup, Ke Lian headed to the training room to exercise, Miao Miao went out to the Imperial Library, and Ke Lian planned to take the two kids out for a stroll. Left with no other hobbies besides cooking, Du Xixi found some leisure time to relax with her eyes closed on the sofa.

But soon, she had "work" to do.

"Xixi, are you free now? I really need you!" Mo Ying sent a video call, and just as Du Xixi clicked to accept, before she could greet anyone, Mo Ying’s urgent voice came through.
