Chapter 4127: The Other Side 96

But, they had already made a pact. No matter what, if the other personality suddenly appeared, he would have to complete the task on behalf of that personality.
In the past, it seemed that Youyou had always been cleaning up his mess. No matter, he couldn’t back out now.
Along the way, Gong Fan was focused on his cell phone. He wasn’t playing on it. Instead, he was doing some serious research. He searched the Internet for tutorials and techniques on baking and took advantage of the limited time to give himself a crash course.
Yun Shishi, though, had confidence in Gong Fan. Baking was actually not difficult. As long as one was careful and serious, and paid a little more attention to details, it could be done very well. However, she seemed to have misjudged the boy somewhat.
Gong Fan was very particular about everything, and in terms of food, he was all the more so. However, he wasn’t particular about how to cook a dish. By the time they arrived at Natalia’s house and the car pulled to a stop, Gong Fan looked as confused as ever.
!!
He couldn’t figure it out. He hadn’t even sorted out the difference between grease and cheese. Or what a mold was, and what saccharin was.
How about giving up? He really could not understand the order and ingredients of these recipes. It would have been simpler to solve a dozen Math Olympiad questions. Wasn’t getting him to bake just making things difficult for him?
And yet…
Gong Fan could only imagine the disappointment that Youyou would express in his diary…
“Looks like I should let you sleep longer…”
Gong Fan suddenly remembered that he had been asleep for a long time recently. Could it be… That guy had been suppressing him and not letting him wake up?
Could it be…
Did the boy despise him and did not want him to make an appearance?
If this baking wasn’t done properly… It might infuriate Youyou! Gong Fan held his forehead in frustration. He didn’t care about infuriating anyone except for this little ancestor.
Hence, walking into the kitchen, Gong Fan could only brace himself and put on the cartoon-style apron that Hua Jin had bought. He stood in the baking area with a sulky expression.
Oven, mold, butter… All the equipment had been laid out. The boy had prepared them all, to whip up a surprise for Natalia on this day.
Fine.
Surprise, surprise… it was more likely going to be a shock than surprise.
Gong Fan told himself: Forget the recipe, the order or timing. Just roll up your sleeves and go with your gut feeling!”
He refused to believe that although they were two personalities, he could not cook as well as Youyou!
Bring it on!
Gong Fan simply trusted his intuition and started preparing.
The dessert rack was pink and carried a Hello Kitty theme. Hence the boy’s original vision had been of a series of strawberry-flavored desserts.
The series would comprise a multilayer cake, cupcakes, shaped cookies, mousse, pudding, and other small desserts. He decided to start with the doughnut.
Gong Fan looked serious as he referred to the recipe and tutorial. He added the softened butter to the fine sugar and salt.
Wait.
Salt?
He was stunned for a moment. He looked through the tutorial thrice suspiciously and confirmed that he was not mistaken. He still found it strange.
Weren’t doughnuts sweet?’
Why the salt?
…whatever.
Gong Fan closed his eyes and began to stir the egg evenly with the egg beater. The ideal was to get it to a lightly beaten state.
In the end, it became runny.
Liquid…
Failure.
On his second try, he was careful to use less strength. With more consistent beating, he finally achieved the ideal state.
