Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

"Lizhi, what about you?" Jiang Fan asked Li Lizhi.

Looking at the dazzling array of products, Li Lizhi gently shook her head: "Brother Fan, I haven't tried anything here before, so I don't know which one tastes good. You decide."

Jiang Fan thought about it and agreed. So he simply waved his hand.

He started ordering: "I'll have five more mango mille-feuille, five... those dorayaki look good, I'll have two boxes of those too."

And there's also the Black Forest mini cake, tiramisu, red velvet cupcake...

He pointed to the counter and pointed out almost all the popular styles in the store.

The shop assistants were busy but orderly packing the items. Little Sizi was leaning over the counter.

As I watched the boxes of exquisite pastries being packed, the light in my eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Chengyang also joined in, whispering with her sister about which one looked the most delicious.

Li Lizhi stared at Jiang Fan's "shopping spree" with some astonishment, wanting to advise him but feeling that Jiang Fan probably knew what he was doing.

About half an hour later, Jiang Fan finally finished his "purchasing".

He led the three sisters out of the store, followed by several employees carrying stacks of snack boxes.

The group approached the car, and Jiang Fan opened the spacious trunk. "Put everything here, thank you all for your hard work."

The staff began carefully moving the packaged cakes and pastry boxes into the trunk of the car.

The boxes come in all shapes and sizes, are brightly colored, and exude a sweet aroma.

It took three trips to move all the cakes properly.

"The trunk is completely full."

Looking at the trunk, which was packed full with almost no space, Jiang Fan remarked, "It's like a mini dessert exhibition inside."

"Brother Fan, isn't this... a bit too much?"

Looking at this spectacular scene, Li Lizhi couldn't help but remark, "This quantity is probably enough for a small banquet in the palace."

"Not much, not much," Jiang Fan said with a smile as he closed the car door. "I didn't bring much back last time, so I'll buy more this time. You can take it back tonight and share it with the other people in the palace. It's a token of my appreciation."

"Wow! My buddy is so amazing!" Little Sizi's eyes were full of admiration.

He stretched out his short arms, gesturing to make a "big" sound, and exclaimed, "I bought so many!"

Chengyang stood to the side, staring at the closed trunk door, still looking a bit dazed.

"Alright, we've bought all the cakes, it's time for us to go home."

Jiang Fan patted the two little girls' heads. "My two little princesses, stop looking. We should get in the car now. You can look at them slowly when we get home."

Even after they were seated in the car and their seatbelts were fastened, the two little ones kept twisting their necks.

I lingered, peering longingly towards the back seat. Only when my neck ached from twisting it did I finally settle down and sit properly.

Little Sizi turned her slightly sore neck, feeling a bit tired.

But my heart was filled with immense satisfaction and happiness.

The carriage was filled with the aroma of the desserts from earlier. Xiao Sizi closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Then she nestled comfortably in her seat, a sweet smile on her face, as if she had already tasted all the delicious food.

Since Li Lizhi needed to go back that night, Jiang Fan didn't take them back to the villa, but went directly back to the rented house.

More than half an hour later, Jiang Fan drove his car smoothly back to the residential area.

After parking the car, Jiang Fan first escorted Si Zi and Cheng Yang upstairs and told them to wait at home.

Then they borrowed a small cart and returned to the cart. He and Li Lizhi began carrying the dessert boxes upstairs, one trip after another.

Boxes of various shapes and sizes are piled on the trolley.

Jiang Fan pushed the cart, while Li Lizhi supported it from the side, and the two carefully pushed it into the elevator.

These pastries look exquisite, but they add up to a considerable amount of weight.

They made three trips to move all the cakes to the coffee table and table in the living room.

Instantly, the living room seemed to transform into a dessert warehouse, and the sweet aroma in the air became even more intense.

Jiang Fan returned the stroller, and when he got home again, a thin layer of sweat had formed on his forehead.

He exchanged a glance with Li Lizhi, who was also slightly out of breath.

They walked to the sofa at the same time and slumped down almost simultaneously.

"Phew...finally finished moving everything." Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Sizi, who had been obediently watching TV on the sofa, immediately showed her "little cotton-padded jacket" side when she saw Jiang Fan return and noticed that he had sweat on his forehead.

She pulled two wet wipes from the tissue box on the coffee table, and took small steps to stand in front of Jiang Fan.

She stood on tiptoe and tried to hold the wet wipe in front of him: "Honey, you're sweating, wipe it off quickly!"

"Oh, thank you so much, Sizi! She's so thoughtful!" Jiang Fan felt a warmth in his heart.

I took the wet wipe, wiped my forehead and neck, and then gently pinched the little guy's soft cheeks as a reward.

Seeing this, Li Lizhi coughed lightly, trying to get Xiao Sizi's attention.

She waited a few seconds, but there was no response. She coughed twice more forcefully, glancing at her younger sister.

Xiao Sizi then turned her head, glanced at Li Lizhi, and blinked.

Not understanding her older sister's meaning, she turned back to look at Jiang Fan with a "seeking praise" expression. Li Lizhi: "..."

A hint of helplessness flashed across her face, and she could only cough a few more times, making an even bigger commotion.

Xiao Sizi finally turned her head again and carefully looked Li Lizhi up and down.

A look of concern and confusion crossed her little face: "Big sister? What's wrong? Are you sick? Why are you coughing so much?"

Li Lizhi was both amused and exasperated by her seemingly innocent question, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Not wanting to say directly that she also wanted a wet wipe, she could only manage to say, "No...it's nothing, my throat is a little dry."

Chengyang, who was standing to the side, guessed what her sister was thinking from the first time Li Lizhi coughed. Seeing that her younger sister didn't understand at all, she covered her mouth and secretly laughed.

Seeing Li Lizhi's discomfiture, she stopped smiling and also took out two wet wipes.

She obediently handed it to Li Lizhi: "Sister, here's a wet wipe for you to wipe your sweat."

Li Lizhi took the wet wipe, feeling somewhat better. While wiping her sweat, she deliberately glanced at Xiao Sizi.

She sighed, "Chengyang is so sensible; he knows how to care for his older sister, unlike some other little guy."

Little Sizi turned her head, somewhat bewildered, upon hearing her older sister's words.

Look at Li Lizhi, who is feigning a sigh, and then look at Chengyang, who is secretly smiling.

She didn't understand what kind of riddle they were playing. But she didn't think much of it.

She quickly turned back and continued to look at Jiang Fan with bright, ingratiating eyes.

"Brother..." she shook Jiang Fan's arm, her voice soft and sweet, "Can I... have a cake now?"

"Okay, but we're about to have lunch, so we can't eat too much," Jiang Fan said slowly.

"Okay, I just want a tiny bit... just a little bit of the taste!"

Good books and good stories accompany you every day.
