Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 600 The Reasons for Yu Mo's Weight Loss (Part 2)

Seeing that Yifei and Yumo were staring at him with murderous eyes, Zeng Xiaoxian was so frightened that he trembled all over.

Knowing he had gotten himself into trouble, Zeng Xiaoxian immediately made up an excuse and fled from 3601 without looking back.

Yu Mo and Yi Fei stared angrily at his retreating figure, gritting their teeth and muttering under their breath, "deserter."

But what's done is done, and there's no point in saying anything more.

Anyway, no matter how much Youyou misunderstands, a lie is still a lie. Yu Mo felt that as long as he avoided Youyou tomorrow and waited for Zhanbo and Wanyu to successfully confess their feelings, all the problems would be solved.

After calming herself down, Yu Mo urged Yi Fei to start their crash course in making chocolate.

In fact, when the process of making homemade chocolate has been compressed to simply melting and solidifying someone else's chocolate, it no longer requires much technical skill.

What they need to consider now is what proportion to mix these dozen or so different flavors of chocolate together so that it tastes more like something a novice making homemade chocolate for the first time could make.

Yu Mo was completely clueless about this, while Yi Fei, who had extensive cooking experience, offered her unique insights.

That is to be brave enough to try.

That's right. To put it simply, it's like a lottery where you just try anything and maybe you'll get an SSR from the homemade chocolates!

Yu Mo had a thousand things to say about Yi Fei's luck-based thinking, but Yi Fei also had something to say about it.

You can't expect someone like me, who's been single for years, to know everything about homemade chocolate, can you?

Having exhausted all other options, the two could only obediently begin trying Yifei's clumsy method.

After the homemade chocolate version 1.0, guided by Yifei and crafted by Yumo, was completed, the two fell into a rare silence.

Yu Mo pinched her nose and frantically fanned away the acrid smell emanating from the pot and spreading throughout the sixth floor with her other hand.

She only glanced briefly at the dark, viscous, winding, twisted substance in the pot, and her eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"Yifei, don't you think this thing looks a lot like...?"

"vomit……"

Yifei, who was standing nearby, quickly covered her mouth and nose. "Don't disgust me."

"I'm not trying to disgust you."

Yu Mo looked at the pot of food helplessly... No matter what they were supposed to be, they were definitely not chocolate now.

"It was just melting chocolate, how did we end up like this?"

"I'm puzzled too."

Yifei frowned deeply. She had thought the challenge this afternoon would be how to replicate the flavor of her homemade chocolate, but now she realized she might have been overthinking it.

This pot of homemade chocolate 1.0 is more suited to the toilet than the kitchen; it clearly doesn't even qualify to be tasted.

Yifei was completely baffled: why was it that the chocolate at the bottom was burnt, but there was still a lump of unmelted chocolate on top?

After racking her brains for a long time, Yifei, who still couldn't figure out the reason, didn't think there was anything wrong with her teaching.

She said confidently, "I know, there must be something wrong with this pot."

"This pan isn't a flat-bottomed pan; it heats unevenly!"

"Yeah?"

Yu Mo picked up the spatula and gently scraped it against the inner wall of the large black pot. The spatula scraped off a thick layer of charcoal directly from the pot wall.

Although she knows nothing about kitchen matters, this level of problem shouldn't be entirely the fault of the pot, right?

Yu Mo had only ever heard of making someone take the blame, but this was the first time she had ever seen Yi Fei do something like making someone else take the blame.

Regardless of whether it's the pot's fault or not, judging from its condition, it's unlikely to be usable for a while.

Poor pot, may you rest in peace for now.

……

After the two switched to a frying pan and tried again, smelling the burnt chocolate 2.0 version even more intensely than before, Yifei and Yumo remained silent for a much longer time than the first time.

Just when the two thought their quick chocolate-making plan was in vain, Curry Sauce, carrying a fire extinguisher, kicked open the door and rushed in.

"Cough cough cough...Where, where is the fire?"

Curry Sauce looked around anxiously until she saw that there was no obvious fire point in 3601, and then she relaxed.

"Sister Yifei? Sister Yumo? Oh, this suite is occupied."

Curry Sauce pinched her nose and asked, "I smelled a very strong burnt smell, which scared me so much that I thought there was a fire somewhere, so I grabbed a fire extinguisher and started looking around."

"How are things? Is everything alright here?"

Yifei and Yumo didn't reply immediately, but stared at the fire extinguisher in Curry Sauce's hand with an extremely strange look.

"Curry, where did you get this fire extinguisher?"

"Oh, you mean this?"

She chuckled and said, "Teacher Zeng sold this to me a few days ago. It's expensive at 380 yuan a bottle."

"However, I think there must be a reason why expensive things are expensive. Buying one bottle is my way of supporting Teacher Zeng's campaign for Women's Chairperson."

Upon hearing this, Yifei and Yumo almost fainted simultaneously. It turned out that Curry Sauce was one of the three idiots who bought the fire extinguisher.

Before the two could say anything, Curry Sauce walked over curiously: "It smells awful, Sister Yifei, Sister Yumo, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

Curry walked over on her own, but when she got closer and took a look, her expression changed drastically, and she almost dropped the fire extinguisher in her hand.

Curry Sauce retreated hastily, then exclaimed in shock, "You two were secretly cooking shit in the suite?!"

Yifei: ? ? ?

Yu Mo: ? ? ?

The two stared at the curry sauce in shock, completely baffled by her thought process.

Although their homemade chocolates were indeed quite unappealing in appearance, no normal person would think they were cooking poop, right?

"What?!"

Yu Mo quickly began to explain. She had already suffered enough misunderstandings today and really didn't want to be burdened with the blame for "openly cooking excrement."

"We are making homemade chocolate."

Curry was even more shocked upon hearing this. She frowned and looked at the lump of stuff in the pot, which looked and smelled absolutely terrible.

"You guys make... chocolate?"

What a waste of resources!

Yu Mo sighed softly, "It's just that there was a tiny problem during the production process."

Yifei and Yumo exchanged a glance, and then briefly told Curry Sauce why they made their own chocolate and the difficulties they encountered during the process.

Curry Sauce, who had never cooked before, fell into an eerie silence after hearing their description.

She looked up slightly, glancing at Yifei, who was in charge of teaching and guidance, and hesitated several times before speaking.

Meanwhile, Yifei was still telling Yumo her thoughts: "I think we should change our approach now. Since the gas stove isn't working, we can try the microwave."

"Just break all this chocolate into pieces and put it in the microwave..."

"Sister Yifei."

Curry Sauce couldn't take it anymore. Although she didn't know how to cook, she knew a lot about food and chocolate.

Finally, Curry Sauce weakly said, "Chocolate isn't what we usually cook. Ordinary chocolate starts to melt at temperatures of 30 or 40 degrees Celsius."

"So is it possible... that we don't need to turn the heat up to the maximum when melting chocolate?"

She then pointed to the spatula and said, "If the chocolate at the bottom is prone to burning, why don't we try using something more efficient than chopsticks to stir it...like a spatula?"

Yifei was struck dumb upon hearing this.

"So it turns out it was just because the fire was too big?"

"How could I not have thought of that?"

Curry Sauce smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, and she held back her complaints.

Sister Yifei, if you could think of these things, you wouldn't still be making fried rice, your best dish after all these years of cooking.

At this moment, Yu Mo was even more shocked than Yi Fei: "So the flame on a gas stove can be adjusted up or down?"

Yifei: (⊙﹏⊙)……

Curry sauce: (⊙﹏⊙)……

Well, this person is completely ignorant of even basic kitchen knowledge.

Yifei quickly said, "Yumo, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and grab another pot to experiment again!"

"oh oh……"

Yu Mo hurriedly started rummaging through the kitchen to see if there were any leftover pots, while Curry Sauce silently reached out her sinful hands to the table full of chocolates.

I haven't had breakfast or lunch yet, so I'll just have some chocolate to tide me over until tonight when I can have something better.

……

Having received guidance from the curry sauce, Yu Mo quickly switched to a different pot and started experimenting.

This time, with Yifei's intermittent guidance, Yu Mo finally succeeded in making a pot of... dark brown cement.

Yu Mo poked the still-warm and solidified chocolate syrup with her chopsticks: "The color and feel are similar to the egg white face mask that I asked Yi Fei to make for me before."

"That's still different."

Yifei complained, "Egg white masks can whiten and remove dead skin when applied to the face, but if you put chocolate syrup on your face, it will only attract a bunch of ants."

As Yifei was speaking, she suddenly heard a rustling sound like ants crawling in her ear.

She turned her head and saw that Curry Sauce was bent over, head down, carefully tearing open the chocolate wrapper.

"curry."

Yifei reminded her, "You've already eaten more than a dozen chocolates in such a short time. Aren't you afraid of turning into a ball?"

Curry Sauce laughed awkwardly and made up a story: "Isn't there so many flavors of chocolate on the table? As a seasoned foodie, it would be an insult to the chocolate if I didn't eat any of them."

"I have to respect the soul of chocolate."

Yifei chuckled: "I hope that even when you're as fat as Yumo used to be, you'll still continue to respect the soul of chocolate like this."

"Feed".

Yu Mo grumbled at Yi Fei, dissatisfied, "We agreed not to mention this."

Yifei shrugged: "What's there to be afraid of? Is there anyone on the sixth floor who doesn't know you used to be fat?"

"...That's true."

"By the way, Sister Yumo, there's something I've always wanted to ask you about this."

Curry Sauce took a bite of a third of the chocolate and asked indistinctly, "Losing weight is so hard, what was your mindset that allowed you to stick to it?"

"Well..."

Yu Mo was about to say some high-sounding words to Curry Sauce, such as having determination and perseverance, and that independent women in the new era can choose what kind of life they want to live and what kind of figure they want to have.

As a result, Yifei's words directly angered Yumo to the point of breaking down.

"Her? It's all because of that scumbag who confessed to her in high school. He was actually using this to make a bet with other scumbags."

"That scumbag confessed to Yu Mo in the afternoon, and I overheard it during evening self-study that day. Then... I not only gave those guys a good beating on the spot, but they didn't even dare to come to school the next day."

"After learning the truth, Yu Mo sealed her heart and stopped loving. She gritted her teeth and desperately lost weight, finally achieving such a slim figure when she was about to graduate from university."

"Oh……"

Curry Sauce nodded: "I understand, so Sister Yu Mo is following the script of a comeback and a face-slapping victory."

"Curry, don't listen to her nonsense!"

Yu Mo quickly explained, "How could I possibly be dieting because of that scumbag whose name I've even forgotten?"

She looked at Yifei and said angrily, "And I had no idea you thought that way about me, Yifei!"

"Oh?"

Even Yifei became interested: "But you really did start dieting after you found out the truth from me the next afternoon."

"That's true, but couldn't it be for some other reason?"

Yifei raised an eyebrow: "Another reason?"

Curry Sauce excitedly slapped the table: "Tell me about it."

"Forehead……"

Yu Mo thought about it and realized that there was nothing wrong with explaining why she was determined to lose weight.

Moreover, this reason is much stronger than Yifei's idea that she was heartbroken by a scumbag and therefore decided to help the chubby girl turn the tables.

"All right."

She sat down and asked Yifei, "Do you remember what happened after you told me the truth that day?"

"Remember."

Yifei sighed: "You pretended to be indifferent at the time, but you disappeared as soon as school was over."

"I still remember that night when the wind was howling. I searched for you for a long time, shivering, and then you reappeared as if nothing had happened."

Yu Mo smiled awkwardly: "Actually... I secretly hid and cried by myself that night."

"I guessed that, so what?"

"Then... as I was crying, a boy appeared in front of me."

Curry Sauce's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this: "Could this be a wild Prince Charming?"

"Prince Charming?"

Yu Mo thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "If we say it's a prince, then it shouldn't be wrong."

"But the prince I met that day wasn't the one who could call me princess, he was the one who could call me mother."

Curry Sauce didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"

Yifei waved her hand and explained simply for Yumo, "She means that the person she met that night was a little brat."

Yu Mo corrected, "He's a very gentle and warm-hearted little kid."

She carefully recalled the scene from that day, but unfortunately, many years had passed, and Yu Mo could no longer remember the little boy's voice or appearance, or even what he said.

The only thing I remember is the event itself.

"He asked me if I was lost and if I needed him to call the police station."

"Later... I forgot exactly what I was thinking at the time, but I told him why I was sad."

Yifei and Curry Sauce pursed their lips repeatedly as they listened to Yu Mo's words.

"Wait a minute," Yifei said, frowning in surprise. "You're not trying to tell me you were appeased by that little brat, are you?"

Yu Mo blinked: "What's the problem?"

"This is far too hasty!"

She pressed on, "What's this little brat's name?"

"I don't remember."

"How old exactly?"

"I don't remember."

"You don't even remember what he looked like?"

Yu Mo nodded: "Mm."

"Damn! What do you remember?"

"I remember him telling me that I don't have to care about other people's mocking looks, and I shouldn't lose hope in life and relationships because of this."

"Whether we are fat or thin, the changes we make should not come from others' judgment of us, but from our heartfelt desire to become better and more excellent."

"Oh, right." Yu Mo seemed to have thought of something, and she said happily, "He also folded a crown for me out of paper and said that I could be my own queen."

"Now that you've put on the crown, you should be more confident and firmly grasp the initiative in your own life."

Yu Mo slapped her forehead: "I think I put that paper crown away properly, but I just can't remember where I put it."

"Wow..."

After hearing Yu Mo's words, Curry Sauce muttered, "Sister Yu Mo, are you sure you met a little kid that night, and not some old monster of the Tianshan Child Granny level?"

Yifei rubbed her chin thoughtfully and muttered, "This style of always spouting grand principles sounds so familiar to me."

"Could it be... the dean of students' child?"

"Oh dear, why bother with past acquaintances when we've met?"

Yu Mo said, "No matter what, I think it's great that a prince charming came to care for me and enlighten me when I was most insecure and embarrassed during my adolescence."

"From that night on, I decided to be my own queen and to take control of my own life."

She emphasized to Yifei and Curry Sauce, "So, my weight loss is entirely because I want to become a better person, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"You two better not say anything bad in front of Nanfeng later!"

Yifei and Curry Sauce burst out laughing. So that's what she was worried about all along.

"Don't worry, we absolutely won't talk nonsense."

"very good."

Yu Mo nodded: "Then let's finish our chat and quickly try the taste of homemade chocolate version 3.0."

"Who's coming first?"

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing Yu Mo's words, Yi Fei and Curry Sauce were stunned.

Try Yu Mo's homemade chocolate?

Why did they suddenly have a bad feeling?

Here it comes!

There were actually quite a few foreshadowing and hints in the plot, but I guess everyone didn't pay attention, or maybe there were too many chapters and the update was too slow.

There's even less today, mainly because Pigeon's C drive has exploded, causing the computer to lag.

Pigeon has decided to take this computer to the extreme today: computer reset, let's go!
