Following the scent, I searched for the past.

Finally, I stopped at a door at the end of the corridor, and the fragrance was coming from inside.

She remembered that this room didn't exist in the Dream Pavilion before.

Yuuka Kazami quietly pushed open the kitchen door, and a rich aroma wafted out.

In the kitchen.

The boy, wearing a white shirt with the cuffs slightly rolled up to his elbows and an apron, skillfully cut the ingredients.

Sunlight fell on the boy's profile, outlining his features. The boy's focused and serious expression made Kazami Yuuka swallow hard.

Noticing someone staring at him, Bai An turned his head and his gaze met that of Kazami Yuuka.

Two pairs of eyes met.

Kazami Yuuka paused for a moment, then resumed her cold expression.

"I thought you left. I remember the Dream Mansion didn't have a kitchen before."

“If I leave, who will take care of you? This room is the kitchen that I specially expanded.”

"Who needs your care!"

Hearing Bai An's words, Kazami Yuuka muttered a dissatisfied remark, her gaze involuntarily glancing at the steamer beside her.

Steam was rising from it, as if something was being cooked.

What are you making to eat?

"Crab roe buns and xiaolongbao, and soy milk for drinks."

As he spoke, Bai An picked up the steamer and lifted the lid.

Inside were plump, white steamed buns and crab roe buns, emitting an enticing aroma.

"Yuxiang, please bring out my breakfast of mung bean cakes as well."

Divide the steamed buns and soy milk into three portions. Bai An handed one portion to You Xiang, then took the other two portions and left the kitchen.

Beside the table, the mung bean cake was already impatient, its dragon eyes wide open, staring straight at Bai An, with glistening liquid flowing from the corner of its mouth.

But after looking for a long time, I still couldn't find any of the snacks she liked.

"Master, where is my mung bean cake?"

Upon hearing this, Bai An was stunned for a moment, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

"Uh...sorry, I forgot to prepare your mung bean cake. How about we have it next time?"

Upon hearing this, Green Bean Cake's entire delicate body trembled violently, and she sat dazedly in the chair.

"Master, it's alright, I don't mind."

She lowered her dragon eyes, biting her chopsticks with a wronged expression. Although she said it was okay, her eyes were red.

It looked like she was about to burst into tears at any moment.

"Okay, it's my fault, don't cry, I'll do it now."

Seeing the mung bean cake in this state, Bai An immediately apologized three times. He didn't want You Xiang to come over and stare at him with strange eyes after seeing the mung bean cake crying.

"What are you doing back here?"

Halfway there, he saw Bai An turning back.

Kazami Yuuka asked in confusion.

"You guys eat first, I'll go to the kitchen and make another batch of mung bean cakes."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

Kazami Yuuka blinked, not paying much attention, and carried the plate towards the living room.

Mung bean cake was already eating breakfast, holding a steamed bun in her left hand and soy milk in her right, munching away with relish.

Although not as delicious as mung bean cake, all the food the owner makes, no matter what it is, tastes quite good.

Kazami Yuuka frowned and looked at Yakumo Yukari next to the mung bean cake.

Why is this guy here again?

But soon, she seemed to realize something.

A faint smile played at the corners of his lips as he looked at Yakumo Yukari with a profound gaze.

"Yukari Yakumo, what are you doing here?"

"Of course we'll stay with you, Yuuka."

As Yakumo Yukari spoke with a smile, she picked up a bun and put it in her mouth.

"Yuxiang, your cooking skills are getting better and better. They taste even better than those professional human chefs. Why did you suddenly decide to make breakfast?"

Yukari Yakumo took a sip of soy milk, looking quite pleased with herself, and kept praising it.

"I didn't do this."

"what?"

“This was made by my husband.”

"puff--!"

Yukari Yakumo choked on her soy milk, nearly spitting it out, and coughed violently. She looked up and stared at Yuuka in surprise.

"Are you kidding me? You...you found a partner? And now he's your husband!?"

"Yes, he made this breakfast. The person sitting next to you is his shikigami."

After calmly explaining, Kazami Yuuka placed the breakfast on the table and sat opposite Yakumo Yukari.

"Yuuka, are you sure you're not still half asleep and talking in your sleep?"

Yukari Yakumo still couldn't believe it. At first, she thought the girl next to her was Yuuka's friend or a shikigami, but she never expected that it was her husband's shikigami.

"Do you think I'm joking? He's in the kitchen right now. Wait for him to come over, and then you'll know if it's true or not."

Kazami Yuuka raised an eyebrow at her, then slowly ate her breakfast, ignoring Yakumo Yukari's reaction.

Her expression appeared calm, but she was already on guard; she had only just aroused Yakumo Yukari's curiosity.

If Yukari Yakumo tries to leave, she will intercept her immediately.

Fortunately, Yukari Yakumo did not rush to leave after hearing this. She was also very curious about who the husband Yuuka was talking about was.

Soon, light footsteps echoed in the corridor, and Bai An appeared at the corner of the corridor carrying a large plate of mung bean cakes.

Bai An was slightly taken aback when he saw Yakumo Yukari, clearly not expecting this guy to appear here.

At the same time, Yukari Yakumo also noticed Bai An.

She met Bai An's gaze and looked him up and down with curiosity.

"Are you Yuxiang's friend? I am Yuxiang's husband. You can call me Bai An. Have you had breakfast yet? Why don't you stay and have breakfast with us?"

Bai An smiled and asked in a friendly manner.

He resisted the urge to rush up and hold Yakumo Yukari down; they were too far away to disturb her.

After all, the Gap Room is Yakumo Yukari's home turf.

If she escapes into the gap, it will be difficult to catch her given my limited understanding of gaps.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Yakumo Yukari."

Seeing how friendly the other person was and even invited her to have breakfast, Yukari Yakumo awkwardly put down the half-eaten bun and muttered something to herself.

"We've already eaten."

She thought Bai An would be displeased by her rudeness, but to her surprise, Bai An didn't mind at all.

"It's okay, there are still plenty of mung bean cakes."

After saying that, without waiting for Yakumo Yukari's consent, he went straight to Yakumo Yukari and placed a large amount of mung bean cakes in front of her.

"Master, this is mine!"

Upon seeing this, the mung bean cake immediately protested.

It was made for her, and she hasn't eaten a single bite. How can I give it all to someone else now?

"I'll make you double the amount later. Zi is a guest, after all. How can we neglect a guest?"

The mung bean cake pouted in dissatisfaction, but Bai An stroked its head and quickly coaxed it back to peace.

Bai An turned around, squinted, and revealed a gentle smile.

"Zi, there's no rush to go back. There are still plenty of mung bean cakes left. Let's eat something before we set off."

After saying that, before Yakumo Yukari could refuse, Bai An pushed the plate full of mung bean cakes towards Yakumo Yukari again.

“Gurgle—”

Yakumo Yukari glanced at the mung bean cake on the table, then at the smiling Bai An beside her, and swallowed hard.

I have a feeling that something is wrong, a strange sense of crisis.

The mung bean cakes emitted a sweet and tempting aroma, but to Yukari Yakumo at that moment, they seemed like poison coated in nectar.

She forced a smile and said dryly:

"I suddenly remembered that we still have clothes to bring in. It's about to rain, so why don't we go back and bring in some clothes first?"

As she spoke, Yakumo Yukari pointed out the window.

If Bai An hadn't already grabbed her shoulder, she would have run away long ago.

"What a coincidence?"

Bai An glanced outside suspiciously.

The gloomy sky had darkened, filled with dark clouds, with flashes of lightning and a light drizzle.

Seeing Bai An's expression change, Yakumo Yukari quickly nodded:

"What a coincidence! Let go of me for a moment so I can go back and collect some clothes."
