Chapter 71 (2/2)

“Huh?” Lin ShuYi didn’t really understand.

“Plump and fair little kids that look like buns, do you like them?”

Lin ShuYi thought a bit. Before this, he had never thought about getting married, though he had occasionally wondered what he would be like if he had kids one day when he saw other people’s homes filled with relatives back then. If he thought that, then that must mean that he really liked kids, right?

Lin ShuYi gave a noise of assent. “I do.”

Shen Fu grew silent outside again.

And then what? What did liking kids have to do with it feeling lonely at home?

After a long pause, Shen Fu spoke again. “Then let’s raise one. It’ll be best if they’re like you, not like me.”

Lin ShuYi laughed. “I understand now. But how can they be like me?”

Lin ShuYi knew that this country had well-developed adoption systems, but how could an adopted child be like him? If he really had to choose, he would prefer the child to be more like Shen Fu. Lin ShuYi’s personality was too stuffy; Shen Fu’s was better, more charming.

“En, they probably won’t look like you, but if their personality is like yours, then that’ll be very good.”

“They can call me Dad, and also call you Dad. We can teach them how to read and write. You like to eat sweet things so much, so they should also like it a lot once they grow up. Didn’t we buy an oven? You can make them lots and lots of cupcakes, they’ll definitely like it a lot.”

As Shen Fu spoke, Lin ShuYi kept searching back through his memories.

He didn’t actually look forward to children that much, but now that Shen Fu said it, he suddenly felt like if they really had such a life, then that would be fantastic.

As Lin ShuYi thought about it, he fell asleep.

Shen Fu quietly slipped in through his door and sat by his bed, tugging the blankets up a bit, covering up the collarbones that Lin ShuYi had accidentally let slip.

He really didn’t want to destroy the atmosphere and say that, when he brought up the topic of children, all he could think about in his mind was that he wanted Lin ShuYi to give birth to one for him.

No, that wasn’t important. What was important was what had to be done before one could give birth!

Shen Fu, whose entire brain was filled with erotic garbage, really, really felt like he was about to snap.

When Shen Fu got up the next day, Lin ShuYi had already gotten up. He clearly had good dreams the entire night, and he was making breakfast in the kitchen, refreshed.

The sweet smell saturated the entire living room, and it was clear that it was the smell of dessert.

Shen Fu entered the kitchen wearing his pajamas. Sure enough, Lin ShuYi was baking cupcakes.

Even though it was first thing in the morning, that was very much like him to do so. “You’re up? I heated up the milk. First go and wash up, and then we can eat.”

Shen Fu didn’t want to drink milk, nor did he really want to eat breakfast. He wanted to eat someone.

Especially when Lin ShuYi turned and shot him a beaming smile. Shen Fu couldn’t help but like out a ‘fuck’ before he strode into the bathroom.

People with morning wood, so unfair!

Lin ShuYi, who didn’t notice whatsoever, continued to bake the cake in high spirits.

Most likely because he had dreamed about what he was thinking about during the day, he truly had dreamed about a little bun that they adopted. The little bun whose eyes looked very much like Shen Fu’s, the little bun who used a sweet, child-like voice to call him Dad. Lin ShuYi felt like even though it was a dream, his heart was about to collapse.

So, when he got up, he was in a hurry to find a recipe to make cupcakes.

Before they officially took in the little bun, he had to promote his cooking in this area. What if the little bun really did like to eat desserts a lot when they arrived, just like what Shen Fu said?

Thinking of that, Shen Fu decided that he might as well eat cupcakes every single morning from now on.

He had found the recipe for the cupcakes on his phone. Because this was his first time making them, he had looked at the recipe three times before he turned off his phone and went to work.

From beating the egg whites, beating the egg yolks, sifting the flour, mixing and folding the batter together, to finally putting it in the oven—he didn’t look at his phone again.

When it was done baking and he took them out, there was very little difference between them and the pictures of the cupcakes on the phone.

The so-called “natural genius” was probably just like this.

There was quite a bit of milk in the cupcakes. Not only did it smell fragrant and sweet, it tasted even more fluffy and exquisite in the mouth, melting the moment you took a bite, the aftertaste rich and aromatic.

Shen Fu ate quite a bunch, even though he wasn’t fond of sweets.

“Do you think, if we were to adopt, there would be a lot of procedures to go through? Will a relationship like ours have obstacles?” Lin ShuYi suddenly asked.

Shen Fu curved his eyes with laughter. “Do you want a child?”

Lin ShuYi nodded.

Shen Fu was about to tease him and say that we can make one ourselves when Lin ShuYi said, “Then I can make cupcakes for them every single day.”

Every day?!! For them to eat?!!

Shen Fu, who felt completely jealous, wanted to retract what he said just then. He didn’t know if it was too late or not.
