Chapter 59 - 59. Special... (1/2)

In the year that followed his arrival, Meilin for the first time took an interest in the art of cooking.

During their mealtime, she had noticed that he was the type to eat only what was needed to survive.

In contrast to when he was with her, he was very strict in many cases just like this.

From watching him all the time, she also noticed that he always finished all the sweet delicacies, though he never voiced out anything, Meilin who was always looking at his every move, noticed that just like her grandparents, he had a huge sweet tooth, he always licked his desserts clean!!

Meilin found that extremely cute and as she wasn't a keen sweet lover she would pass her own to him, saying that she was full or giving various other excuses and watch him eat it with great fervor after he made sure that she actually didn't want it.

So, desserts were her first choice during her path of learning to cook which was like the land to conquer for her.

Xuan never ate anything that wasn't cooked by the house cooks and never touched anything that was brought by the people who visited them, he was always cautious.

Back then he was forced fed many poisons and such things through different things that looked beautiful and sometimes directly, so, he was very cautious when trying foods from strangers.

His small appetite was probably due to his days in that warehouse where he was fed nothing but energy bars and supplements for required growth, he didn't have the luxury to choose nor eat.

Though Meilin had no idea about his past, she couldn't see him eat like a chick!

First things first, since he was afraid to eat from outside she can prepare foods for him, starting from something he liked and gradually increase his appetite.

She slowly but steadily started learning everything.

She was not someone with god hands and faced difficulties at first, she was young with small hands and no comprehension of amounts, so sometimes the food turned out to be bland, sometimes too sweet sometimes burned but..... she never gave up.

She worked hard for a year and in that year she learned almost all kind of desserts, starting from local ones to western confections.

Hard work will always give you results!!

Like she had hoped, Xuan took everything she fed him and genuinely enjoyed even her experimental failures, no man would hate something that the girl they loved, made for them.

He saw that she put her utmost care and love while making them and they were made just for him, even their grandparents didn't get a share of it.

They were so jealous of the little puppy stealing their little princesses' love.....grrr.

Well, Meilin wouldn't go and make a heap just for the trying phase, it wasn't a comic book and she hated wasting stuff plus what she made was gobbled up by the Persian cat following her. Though he didn't help out he was never a hindrance plus, he would always give his feedback, he was very helpful for her growth.
