Chapter 219: What Kind of Man Exactly?

Entering the young girl’s courtyard.

The layout of the courtyard was extremely simple, without any extra decorations. Combined with the covering of white snow, it possessed a simple, serene beauty of white.

“Meow~”

Along with a tender meow, a small kitten slowly crawled over and rubbed against Bai Luoxue’s skirt.

The Little Calico Cat raised its head at Bai Luoxue’s feet, calling out “Meow meow” while its little paws scratched at her skirt, as if asking for a hug.

“So cute.”

Seeing the Little Calico Cat, Jiang Nongqin’s eyes lit up.

“Cute?”

Bai Luoxue picked up the Calico Cat and looked at Jiang Nongqin in confusion.

“Yes,” Jiang Nongqin gently petted the Calico Cat’s small head, and the kitten narrowed its eyes in enjoyment. “Your Highness once said, ‘Things that can heal people’s hearts can be described as “cute”.'”

…

“Alright, Miss Bai, let’s make Winter Plum Cakes.” At the mention of Your Highness, Jiang Nongqin’s mood became subtly complicated again.

However, Jiang Nongqin quickly composed her emotions.

“Okay.” Bai Luoxue nodded and didn’t think further.

In the kitchen, their delicate hands washed the winter plums clean and then ground them into flower fragments using a medicinal mortar.

The winter plum juice was also collected, as it had its uses.

Then, they mixed it with flour, added salt, and used water from melted clean white snow to blend it.

Finally, they placed it into molds.

One was a young girl with an incredibly stunning figure, and the other was a young girl with eyes of ultimate charm.

The two world-toppling young girls kept moving about in the kitchen.

They seriously processed the ingredients with their pairs of fair, delicate hands.

If this steamer of Winter Plum Cakes were taken out to be sold, and others knew they were handmade by these two stunning women together, it’s likely that all the lechers in the city would go crazy for them.

“Winter plums are tender and watery, so the heat shouldn’t be too high. They need to be steamed slowly over a low flame; otherwise, the texture will be affected,” Jiang Nongqin said, giving the final precautions regarding the heat.

Bai Luoxue nodded and seriously committed it to memory.

“Is Sister Luoxue making this for herself?” Jiang Nongqin asked.

“No.”

Bai Luoxue shook her head, her eyes blinking as she watched the steamer, as if afraid something might go wrong.

“He said he would come to see me today. He likes eating Winter Plum Cakes, so I’m making something for him to eat.”

“He? A man?” Jiang Nongqin was slightly surprised.

“Yes.” Bai Luoxue nodded and admitted it quite openly, without a hint of shyness.

Looking at Bai Luoxue’s calm eyes, Jiang Nongqin was also somewhat confused now.

The reason Jiang Nongqin asked was that Bai Luoxue was extremely serious when making the pastries, as if she were making them for the most important person in her life.

She didn’t expect it really was for a man.

But why, in this young girl’s face, did she not see even a hint of the happiness Sister Luoxue should have because her sweetheart was coming to the courtyard?

Could she have thought wrong? Could this man be her relative?

“Luoxue, is that man your relative?” Jiang Nongqin asked tentatively.

“No, I have no relatives.”

“Sister Luoxue, I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay.”

“Then does Sister Luoxue like him?”

“Like?” Bai Luoxue turned her head and asked.

“It’s…” Jiang Nongqin thought for a moment. “It’s wanting to be with him, not wanting to leave him at all. To you, he is extremely important, even more important than life itself.”

Listening to Jiang Nongqin’s words, Bai Luoxue lowered her gaze slightly, as if thinking. Half a minute later, the girl looked up and looked directly at Jiang Nongqin:

“I want to be with him, and I can’t be separated from him. He is very important to me. If that’s the case, then I should like him, but…”

“But?”

“But he doesn’t like me.”

“How could that be?” Jiang Nongqin took Bai Luoxue’s small hand. “Luoxue, since he’s willing to take the initiative to come to the courtyard to see you and eat the pastries you made specifically for him, it shows that he likes you.”

“Really?” Bai Luoxue blinked, like a little girl being coaxed.

“Really,” Jiang Nongqin nodded seriously. “Moreover, for this Ice and Snow Festival in Luo City, legend has it that as long as two people can carve the same winter lantern, if this winter lantern flies a hundred meters high, the two can grow old together and never be parted.”

When saying the last sentence, Jiang Nongqin, perhaps thinking of something, lowered her gaze slightly, her cheeks faintly red.

“Lantern Festival…” Bai Luoxue secretly noted it down. “I understand. I will invite him too.”

Seeing Bai Luoxue’s bold yet serious eyes, and then thinking of the girl before her making Winter Plum Cakes for her sweetheart and boldly inviting him over.

In Jiang Nongqin’s heart, she couldn’t help but feel a bit ashamed of herself.

Could she be like Sister Luoxue, making good food and inviting Your Highness to eat, rather than finding excuses to send it over?

Could she also invite Your Highness to the Ice and Snow Festival?

Then at the Ice and Snow Festival, Your Highness would hold her hand, making a lantern together, watching it rise together, and Your Highness would lift her chin…

“Pshhh~~~”

The young girl turned into a steam engine girl again, white smoke rising from her head.

No, no, no…

Quickly, the red-faced Jiang Nongqin dismissed this thought.

Sister Qinger is still there. How could Your Highness wander the Ice and Snow Festival with me? It’s impossible…

But…

What if?

If only Your Highness could be a bit more of a philanderer…

If Your Highness were a bit more of a philanderer, perhaps she could become Your Highness’s concubine, or even just a maidservant would be fine.

Then she could always follow Your Highness to the Ice and Snow Festival.

While Jiang Nongqin was uncontrollably lost in thought, a faint knocking sound came from the courtyard.

Jiang Nongqin knew that Bai Luoxue’s sweetheart had arrived, and she shouldn’t stay any longer.

“Then Sister Luoxue, I’ll head back first and won’t disturb you anymore. The Winter Plum Cakes will be ready in another few minutes.”

“Okay,” Bai Luoxue nodded. “I’ll see Sister Nongqin out.”

“Okay,” Jiang Nongqin smiled too.

Even without seeing Bai Luoxue’s true face, just based on those cat-tailed peach blossom eyes and her snow-like temperament, how ugly could Sister Luoxue really be?

So Jiang Nongqin also wanted to know what kind of man the person Sister Luoxue liked was.

Just as Jiang Nongqin and Bai Luoxue reached the main gate and slowly opened the door panels halfway, a man’s voice came from outside.

“Honestly, you should really open a door in your back garden. It would be more convenient when I come. Otherwise, if Qinger sees me, then I’ll…”

Hearing the man’s voice, Jiang Nongqin, who was moving the wooden panel, froze in place.

At the same time, upon seeing the other woman from the Tofu Shop, the man’s words stopped abruptly, his pupils shrank slightly, and his mind went completely blank.
