What was this taste!?
This feeling… It was as if his head had been blown off by an atomic bomb.
It was crispy inside out.
“It’s so…”
Gong Fan narrowed his eyes in alarm as soon as the man spoke. “…Awful?”
!!
“No…” With a tremendous effort, the actor managed to swallow the dark lump. His entire mouth felt strangely sandy and bitter, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of black soil.
…
Being able to make doughnuts taste like this was also a skill.
The actor quickly corrected himself. “It’s indescribably delicious.”
Gong Fan was stunned. Beside him, Gong Jie and Little Yichen both shot him a look of disgust.
Was this PUBG? He was actually making such a big detour.
Gong Fan was a very smart boy. Even though he had been fooled by Little Yichen’s superb acting skills initially, at this point he was not so stupid that he could not tell that this thing was really disgusting.
Although Hua Jin’s words may fool others, but his eyes or his microexpressions can’t.
In other words… The best acting skills could not hide the fact that this thing tasted terrible.
Is it that bad? Muttering under his breath, he glanced at the blackened doughnut on his plate. Looking doubtful, he picked up a piece for himself and took a bite…
Thud.
He almost fell.
Terrified, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ hurried over to help him. Gong Fan barely managed to brace himself against the table and gently waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
Except that when he turned around, Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ saw that his expression was clouded over and his eyes were filled with a sense of loss.
“It tastes so bad …” He had never tasted anything so awful! Although he didn’t want, and was unwilling, to admit it, this doughnut tasted really bad…
Expressionlessly, he picked up and dumped the entire plate of failed doughnuts into the trash bin.
Everyone fell silent, unsure if they should laugh or console him.
Gong Fan said rather dejectedly, “Is Youyou’s cooking really delicious?”
“Uh… uhm.” Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ shrugged. “He’s better at cooking, in that way…”
“Oh.” Gong Fan dropped his head as though with a “thump”, his head hung extremely low. It was obvious that he was sorely disappointed.
He was compet.i.tive and unwilling to be second to others. Still, he couldn’t match the boy for this particular thing. He felt sad. At the same time, he felt a little indignant. The boy was too good. There was a light in him that he dared not look at.
He was very serious about making this doughnut. In fact, he had experienced several failures. But why did he fail yet again this time?
Gong Fan felt inexplicably frustrated.
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ rubbed his head, feeling a sense of helplessness. “Well, don’t be sad. In fact, you’ve come quite far given it’s your first try! The first time I made them, they didn’t taste good either. Furthermore, I didn’t even come as far as you have. You’re like Mommy in that way. Mommy doesn’t seem to have much talent in this respect.”
When Gong Fan heard this, the sadness in his heart eased a little. “Really?”
“Yes, really. So look, when has Mommy ever cooked? It’s always Youyou who cooks. Mommy can’t cook or make desserts.”
When Gong Fan heard this, he felt upset. “I’ll look into it a bit more the next time. Maybe I have a talent for making desserts, too.”
For some reason, the remark shook Little Yichen. Perhaps he had already imagined that if Gong Fan seriously studied desserts, he might become the chief tasting officer.
