Chapter 37.3
With such thoughts in mind, Bai Zhou walked out of his room and detected a whiff of sweetness in the air.
Cake?
He made his way down the stairs and into the kitchen.
Ji Fanyin was busy preparing the ingredients next to the oven. Her fluid movements fully showcased her culinary skills.
Had it been Ji Xinxin, Bai Zhou would have been able sit by the countertop and watch her for an entire day.
It was just that the earlier incident had pulled him a step back from the dangerous abyss, jolting his consciousness and reminding him that the person who had come with him to Greece was Ji Fanyin.
Why does Ji Fanyin have to look so alike to Ji Xinxin? Why must she be so good at acting? She should have just competed for an Oscar instead of doing this!
Whats wrong? Ji Fanyin heard his footsteps and turned around.
Bai Zhou looked at her with a wintry face and sneered, Ji Fanyin, dont even think that I would prepare a present for you too. I havent stooped so low as to prepare one for an impostor.
I dont mind going without a present, replied Ji Fanyin cheerily. Its not as if I came all the way to Greece with you to demand a present. Alright~ Im baking a cake now. What flavor do you want? Shall I add a bit of cocoa powder into it?
It went without saying that she wasnt interested in Bai Zhous gift. She would be freaked out by the inner wirings of his brain if he had really prepared a gift for her too.
You can just order a cake from the bakery. Bai Zhou still had a nasty look on his face.
Ji Fanyin whipped the egg as she looked at him and replied, You dont want to eat my handmade cake?
Bai Zhou looked at the kitchen which Ji Fanyin had whipped out delicious food from over the last few days. Ill eat it.
Good boy. Ji Fanyin praised Bai Zhou with a smile. Would you like to help out?
No thanks, Bai Zhou turned her down coldly. A tool should just quietly do its own job. Also, big sis has never said good boy before. You arent allowed to say that in the future.
He coolly turned around after saying his piece, but Ji Fanyin suddenly called out, Wait a moment.
Bai Zhou obstinately walked two steps away, but he eventually stopped, turned around, and looked at her with an impatient What do you want expression.
You knocked on the stairs while you were rushing up earlier, right? asked Ji Fanyin as she washed her hands. Let me have a look.
Bai Zhou subconsciously took two steps back. Im fine.
Ill just take a look. What if you injured yourself? Ji Fanyin didnt bother listening to him. She grabbed her first aid kit and cornered him. Be good, Zhouzhou. Let me take a look so that I can have a peace of mind, alright?
Bai Zhou felt so embarrassed that he thought that he would go up in smoke. Covering his furiously blushing face, he took off his slippers and allowed Ji Fanyin to take just a single look before quickly slipping them back on.
It looks a little swollen Does it really not hurt? asked Ji Fanyin worriedly. You must tell me if it hurts. You mustnt keep it to yourself, just like the gastric pain.
Bai Zhou turned his head away. It really doesnt hurt Thats enough, Ji Fanyin!
The last two words were practically shouted out loud.
Ji Fanyin sighed softly.
The prowess of Ji Xinxins call was truly formidable. It was able to snap Bai Zhou out of this dream though this was probably a good thing for him.
It was also a good thing for her too.
Her sigh sounded almost like a pardon decree to Bai Zhou. He hurriedly retreated two steps away from Ji Fanyins area of influence before running up the stairs in a fluster.
However, he suddenly stopped halfway up the stairs. With a reluctant but fairly neutral attitude, he turned around and said, Happy birthday to you too, Ji Fanyin.
Ji Fanyin was surprised for an instant before nodding with a smile, Ill thank you on behalf of my older sister.
Not used to hearing words of thanks from others, Bai Zhou frowned. He turned around and rushed off.
Meanwhile, Ji Fanyin continued looking at the stairway with an ambiguous smile on her lips.
Bai Zhou probably means well, but today is neither Ji Fanyin nor Ji Fanyins birthday.
