Chapter 182 - 178 guests at the second watch of the night
A week later, Yu Wei was discharged from the hospital, and Qin Xi took her brother to visit him. Yu Xiaolan, who suddenly became so warm and intimate it was as if she was a different person altogether, would have probably started calling them Xixi and Zhenzhen if Qin Xi’s face wasn’t so icy-cold.
Upon returning home, Qin Zhen was clearly unhappy, pouting so much that you’d think he could drip oil from his lips. Li Xianglu decided to make some dough and planned to whip up a few dishes, thinking of having some boiled dough slices to eat. She had prepared by starting to sprout beans and buying celery two days before.
Li Xianglu didn’t have any special flour for making the dough slices in her Storage Ring, so she had to make do with regular flour and process it herself.
She washed the kneaded dough repeatedly in water, and all the starch that separated had to be left to settle - a complex process. After breakfast, Li Xianglu started working on this, and it wasn’t until after 10 AM, when the Qin brothers returned, that she finally finished washing out a clump of raw gluten. Qin Zhen had never seen this before, and his previously bad mood was instantly captivated by it.
Li Xianglu was about to explain what it was when there was a knock on the door. Qin Zhen went to answer it while Li Xianglu steamed the separated starch.
As soon as he stepped outside, Qin Zhen was seen coming back with a face flushed red, followed by Lu Anna and Iro?
Li Xianglu didn’t know what was wrong with Qin Zhen, but her classmates came, so she happily went out to greet them, joyfully saying, "Why, you’ve only just arrived!"
Lu Anna replied discontentedly, "You didn’t even bother to invite us, yet you ask why we’ve only just come."
