CHAPTER 224: CHAPTER 224 ORIGINAL SIN 33

Professor Zhang was so moved that she almost shed tears, and she showed Yun Shuangshuang a particularly grateful expression, but she said nothing, afraid of startling her grandson, who rarely took the initiative!

Before coming here, Professor Zhang had some hope, but she only hoped that the food in this place could make her little grandson eat a little more. She never expected to receive such a pleasant surprise!

Her little grandson actually showed the curiosity of a normal child here! He even spoke! Although it wasn’t to her, it was enough to make Professor Zhang overjoyed, because her little grandson had never been so lively by her side.

Professor Zhang was especially grateful to Yun Shuangshuang. She could see that this girl genuinely liked her grandson. Professor Zhang knew that her little grandson was so autistic that he wouldn’t speak at all, and combined with being as thin as a little skeleton, he had once scared other children to tears; nobody liked him.

Although the neighbors sympathized with Qiangqiang, no one truly liked him. So, for Yun Shuangshuang, who showed genuine affection for her grandson, Professor Zhang was filled with gratitude.

At this moment, Professor Zhang felt that her decision to come to Red Dust immediately was the most correct decision she had ever made. With an excited heart, she cautiously followed Qiangqiang into Red Dust.

Although Yun Shuangshuang wasn’t a professional psychologist, she could see that this little boy was a bit off. She hadn’t yet figured out that Qiangqiang had autism; Yun Shuangshuang just felt that this child was particularly timid, especially shy.

The little boy walked with his mouth tightly pursed, his steps very small, looking very nervous. Yun Shuangshuang was afraid of scaring this timid child, so she kept a proper distance, guiding him inside.

The inside of Red Dust was quite large. To not destroy the interior’s decor, Yun Shuangshuang painfully sacrificed many places that could have been used for tables and chairs, just to maintain the aesthetic of the interior’s decoration.

After passing a huge treasure shelf, Yun Shuangshuang brought Qiangqiang to her mother Feng Jinyan. Seeing Feng Jinyan dressed as an ancient noblewoman, Qiangqiang’s eyes indeed filled with amazement again!

"Fairy sister, your mother is truly beautiful!" Perhaps because he hadn’t spoken for a long time, Qiangqiang’s voice was very clear, and the spontaneous compliment was quite pleasing, at least Feng Jinyan’s mood improved.

However, she still cast a puzzled look at Yun Shuangshuang, wondering what her daughter had told the little boy to convince him of such things like ’mother’ and ’fairy’!

Yun Shuangshuang stuck her tongue out at Feng Jinyan with a playful smile. It was the first time she had been called a fairy, and she got a little carried away. Although she had lived two lives, Yun Shuangshuang wasn’t immune to human flaws, always thinking that a child’s words must be truthful, completely forgetting that mischievous children could tell lies better than adults.

"Are the gentlemen staying for the night? It’s so late, would you like something to eat?" Feng Jinyan glared at her daughter and greeted Professor Zhang and her driver.

Yun Shuangshuang realized her neglect just then; she had been so busy amusing the child that she forgot to welcome the guests, her face reddening. At her age, she still got carried away by a child’s compliments.

"I want a double room with the best view, long-term stay! As for food, just make some barbecue. To be honest, my little grandson has anorexia and autism; he tried your barbecue with the sauce at our neighbor’s place, and my grandson actually ate it. That’s why I specifically brought my grandson Qiangqiang here, and I didn’t expect that Qiangqiang would even speak here. It seems I made the right decision."

Autism combined with anorexia, Yun Shuangshuang sympathetically glanced at the particularly quiet little boy hiding behind Professor Zhang’s leg, looking down at the little rabbit lantern in his hands.

Leaving Feng Jinyan there to chat with Professor Zhang, Yun Shuangshuang went directly to the kitchen to cook. She took off her wide-sleeved outer garment, tucked her skirt hem into her waist, and put on a chef’s coat, tidying herself up swiftly.

After thinking it over, Yun Shuangshuang decided to prepare some light food separately for the child. Given his anorexia, his stomach must have been inactive due to prolonged hunger. Barbecue would be too greasy, and suddenly eating too much in such conditions would be overwhelming.

However, Yun Shuangshuang didn’t know if the child would eat anything other than barbecue, so she made several kinds of barbecue dishes with the sauce, a mild egg custard topped with mushroom and black fungus meat sauce, and steamed a basket of bite-sized white jade cakes shaped like the twelve zodiac animals.

Yun Shuangshuang’s cooking speed was fast, and it didn’t take long before the dishes were ready. She arranged the food beautifully, taking off her chef’s coat and putting back on the wide-sleeved outer garment, letting her skirt hem fall to regain her classical beauty look.

Holding the prepared food on a specially made golden carved wooden tray, she left the kitchen and returned to the Red Dust hall.

Yun Shuangshuang hadn’t arrived yet, but the aroma preceded her. Qiangqiang, originally sitting quietly with his head down, holding the little rabbit lantern by Professor Zhang, immediately looked up. His nose twitched like a little puppy, and then his eyes, filled with anticipation, settled on Yun Shuangshuang, who was walking in with the tray.

Yun Shuangshuang smiled and placed the food from the tray in front of Qiangqiang one by one. Smelling the delicious aroma, Qiangqiang, who hadn’t felt hungry for a long time, suddenly felt his appetite return.

He looked at the exquisitely arranged food in front of him, especially the twelve zodiac white jade cakes, lively and delicate, placed on a blue and white porcelain plate. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Yun Shuangshuang, full of amazement, and he asked, "Fairy sister, is this food too? It’s so beautiful!"

Yun Shuangshuang nodded with a smile, picking up a little mouse-shaped white jade cake and placing it near his mouth, saying, "This is a white jade cake, sweet and delicious. Try it!"

Qiangqiang lowered his head slightly, his big black eyes crossing while examining the delicate little white mouse close to his mouth. After a while, he said, "Sister, it’s so pretty, I almost don’t want to eat it!"

Yun Shuangshuang chuckled and said, "Don’t worry. If you like it, sister will make more for you next time. Don’t be reluctant to eat it."

Seeing Yun Shuangshuang say this, Qiangqiang, though still a little reluctant, finally opened his mouth cautiously and ate the bite-sized mouse.

The white jade cake melted in his mouth, tasting sweet but not cloying. After finishing it, Qiangqiang smacked his lips, then voluntarily reached out his little hand and took a small rabbit-shaped white jade cake, putting it into his mouth.

Professor Zhang sat on the side, holding her breath out of nervousness, watching him eat the food in front of him with a cautious attitude, as if afraid of disturbing Qiangqiang, tears once again filling her eyes!
