People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 126 You know, we cultivators are the most honest; we never lie.
They divided the cake into several pieces.

The two slightly larger pieces are intended for Yukito and Touya.

Although Sakura didn't say it explicitly, she still remembered to save a portion for her brother.

The medium-sized piece was promised to be given to Ms. Kanzuki.

The remainder was divided equally among the three.

Ye Hui put his portion into Zhi Shi's cake box.

Tomoyo glanced at him, blinked, but did not refuse.

"Okay, it's done!"

Sakura excitedly shook the box containing the cake.

Not far away, Li Meiling had also finished tidying up their pudding cakes.

Although the frosting on the cake wasn't perfectly smooth and the decoration was just a simple sprinkle of icing and a little frosting, it still looked pretty good overall.

She glanced at the cake box in Ye Hui's hand and muttered under her breath, "Hmph, what's so great about it? It's just that it looks a little better. Our pudding cake will definitely taste just as good!"

[Li Meiling's mood score +11]

"Let's take the cake to Ms. Mizuki first, so she doesn't have to wait until she gets off work," Sakura suggested.

"Okay." Neither Zhi Shi nor Ye Hui had any objections.

The three of them then carried the cake together and headed towards the teachers' office.

At this time, most teachers had already left work in the teachers' office, with only a few still organizing lesson plans or grading homework.

Kaho Mizuki happened to be there too. She was sitting at her desk, holding a fountain pen, seemingly writing something.

Seeing Ye Hui and the others push the door open and come in, Guan Yue looked up, put down her pen, and gave a gentle smile: "Kinomoto-kun, Ye-kun, Daidouji-kun, what brings you here? Did something go wrong in cooking class?"

"No, Ms. Mizuki."

Sakura quickly stepped forward, handed over the cake box, and said expectantly, "This is a chocolate cake we made in cooking class today. Please try it! We saved it especially for you!"

"Is it for me? Thank you so much."

Guan Yue smiled as she took the cake box and gently opened it.

When she saw the beautifully decorated chocolate cake inside, she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful! The buttercream frosting is exquisite, and the fruit is arranged with great care. It looks like it was made by a pastry chef!"

"It's all thanks to Ye's excellent teaching! He taught us how to spread butter and how to prepare the bread, which is why we were able to make it so well!"

Xiaoying once again attributed the credit to Ye Hui, with an embarrassed smile on her face.

[Moon-Viewing Song Sails' Emotional Value +12]

Ye Hui looked at the emotion value displayed by the system and tilted his head.

It feels like the emotional points that Mizuki gave this time are similar in nature to childcare fees.

"Then I won't be polite."

Guan Yue took a small fork from the drawer, gently cut off a small piece, and put it in her mouth.

The moment the cake melted on her tongue, Mizuki's expression clearly changed.

A hint of surprise, barely concealed, flashed in those red eyes that always held a gentle smile.

The taste... far exceeded her expectations.

Putting aside the cake's soft and delicate texture, the rich chocolate and the light sweetness of the cream are perfectly balanced, without being cloyingly sweet.

More importantly, while savoring the cake, Guan Yue could clearly feel that it contained a very pure power that gently lingered on her tongue.

As it slid down her throat, even the long-dormant magic within her body stirred slightly.

This power is not aggressive at all, but rather very gentle.

"How is it, teacher? Is it delicious?"

Sakura opened her eyes and looked at her expectantly.

Mizuki slowly put down her fork, picked up a napkin and gently wiped her mouth. Her gaze first fell on Sakura's excited face, and she nodded.

Then, turning to Ye Hui, she said earnestly, "This is the best chocolate cake I've ever eaten."

[Moon-Viewing Song Sails' Emotional Value +20]

Wow, 20 points were added in one go.

Sure enough, this is everyone's first reaction when they encounter spiritual food.
"I'm glad you like it, teacher." Ye Hui smiled modestly, without offering any further explanation.

Guan Yue looked at him with a more inquisitive and meaningful gaze: "Ye Hui, your cooking skills really pique my curiosity."

[Moon-Viewing Song Sails' Emotional Value +15]

Ye Hui knew that Guan Yue was referring to far more than just ordinary cooking techniques.

With this astute teacher's keen perception, he must have discovered the spiritual power contained within the cake.

However, he didn't intend to hide anything from her, so he went along with her words and said, "If there's a chance in the future, I'll make some other desserts for you to try, like matcha daifuku or chestnut Mont Blanc."

"Then I'll be looking forward to it." Mizuki nodded with a smile.

[Moon-Viewing Song Sails' Emotional Value +12]

After saying goodbye to Guan Yue, Ye Hui and the other two left the teachers' office.

"Great! Ms. Mizuki really likes the cake we made!" Sakura skipped and hopped down the hallway, in an exceptionally good mood.

"Alright, now it's time to deliver the cake to Brother Snow Rabbit!" She suddenly clenched her fist again, her anticipation growing stronger, and her pace quickened unconsciously.

In her mind, this was the most important part of the day!
"I wonder if Yukito-san will like it... Oh dear, what if he thinks it's too sweet?" Sakura muttered to herself after walking a few steps.

"Don't worry, he'll definitely like it," Ye Hui reassured her with a smile. "Brother Xue Tu is a well-known sweet tooth. Last time we went to a dessert shop together, he ate three desserts in one go. The sweetness of this cake we made is just right, there's no way he won't like it."

And even if it doesn't taste good, Yukito will still like it because he spoils Sakura so much.

Ye Hui saw through the true nature of this world where everyone was a Sakura fan.

"Hmm!" Encouraged by Ye Hui, Xiaoying's confidence returned.

Just as they reached the stairwell on the second floor of the teaching building.

Sakura paused, suddenly stopped, and gently tugged at Ye Hui and Zhi Shi's sleeves, signaling them to be quiet.

Shh... Look over there.

She lowered her voice and pointed to the door of another office not far away.

That was Mr. Terada's math office.

Ye Hui looked in the direction she was pointing and saw Li Jia's figure.

She was holding a small cake box and standing at the office door, seemingly hesitant. Her hand was raised in mid-air, but she didn't knock.

Her cheeks were flushed, her body was slightly tense, and she looked obviously nervous, even her breathing was very soft.

The office door was ajar, and you could vaguely see what was inside.

Mr. Terada was sitting at his desk, head down, organizing his lesson plans. The afternoon sunlight streamed through the window, making him look even more handsome.

"It's Rika and Terada-sensei." Tomoyo lowered her voice and gently tugged at Sakura's sleeve, signaling her not to disturb anyone.

Ye Hui blinked.

Is Rika delivering a cake to Terada-sensei?
Um.
In fact, most of the students in the class could sense Rika's feelings for Terada-sensei.

They never expected to witness this scene with their own eyes today.

"Should we...go over and say hello to them?" Sakura hesitated, wanting to go forward but afraid of disturbing Rika.

"No, Sakura, don't make a sound." Tomoyo shook her head, then took Sakura's hand and led her behind the wall at the bottom of the stairs, leaving only a small gap to observe the situation outside. "Let's take a look first, without disturbing Rika."

"Huh? But if we do this, aren't we peeping? Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

Sakura said this, but her body betrayed her and she hid, cautiously peeking out her head and staring at the office door.

Ye Hui held his forehead.

He has no interest in it.

After all, it was someone else's good intention.

And this is just sending a cake.

What's wrong with a student giving a teacher a cake?
However, Tomoyo and Sakura seemed really eager to see, so he reluctantly joined them as a voyeur.

Who told him to already acknowledge Sakura as his boss?

Then I'll definitely have to work for the boss!

"It's okay, we're just concerned about our classmate and don't want her to be disturbed when she's nervous," Tomoyo said earnestly, making up an excuse.

Ye Hui glanced at her.

I never expected Tomoyo-chan to have such a gossipy side.

Office door.

Li Jia hesitated for a while, her fingers repeatedly stroking the edge of the cake box, before finally seeming to have made up her mind.

She took a deep breath, raised her hand, and gently knocked on the office door.

"Please come in." Terada-sensei's gentle voice came from inside the office.

Rika took another light breath, then slowly pushed open the slightly ajar door and walked in with her head down: "Terada-sensei..."

Sakura immediately tiptoed over, trying to peek through the crack in the door.

Tomoyo also joined in.

The two girls' heads were stacked together, one on top of the other, watching intently.

Ye Hui couldn't resist taking out his camera and starting to record.

This rare sight must be recorded!
"Oh, it's Sasaki-kun. Is there anything I can help you with?" Terada-sensei looked up, saw Rika, smiled, and put down his lesson plan.

“Um…Terada-sensei…” Rika nervously clutched the cake box, then handed it to the other person, her voice soft, “This is a cake we made in cooking class today. I…I would like to invite you to try it.”

Ms. Terada paused for a moment, then smiled and took the cake box, her voice filled with surprise: "Really? Thank you so much."

Li Jia's face turned even redder, her neck even turning pink, and she was too nervous to look up at anyone.

Teacher Terada opened the cake box, and inside was a strawberry cake.

A whole strawberry was placed on top as a decoration.

He picked up his fork, cut off a small piece, put it in his mouth, savored it, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

"It's delicious, Sasaki-kun, your cooking is really good."

"Really?" Hearing the teacher's praise, Li Jia looked up and her eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true, this is the best strawberry cake I've ever eaten." Terada-sensei nodded with a smile and took another bite.

"Wow...this is so romantic..." Sakura, hiding behind the door, clasped her hands together.

"Yes, it's wonderful to be able to give something you made yourself to someone you care about and receive their appreciation," Tomoyo sighed in agreement.

Ye Hui looked at the two girls with dreamy expressions and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

However, it's still quite brave of Li Jia to take the initiative to give the teacher a cake.

He admired him greatly; he was impressed that someone so young could have such courage.

"Ye Zi, don't you feel touched?" Xiao Ying turned her head and saw Ye Hui, who looked calm.

Ye Hui thought for a moment and answered seriously, "I think... Mr. Terada might need to pay attention to his teeth in the future, he might get cavities."

Sakura: "..."

Tomoyo: "Pfft..."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +11]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +9】

Ye Hui shrugged and explained, "Think about it, if Li Jia often sends cakes and desserts to Terada-sensei, she might even send a big piece every time. If you want it to taste good, the sugar content of the cream must be high. Eating too much of that will naturally cause cavities."

Sakura frowned at his comment: "That seems so. Does that mean Yukito-san also has cavities?"

Ye Hui pursed his lips, trying to stop himself from laughing out loud.

Sakura! Your focus has veered off course way too quickly!

Tomoyo couldn't help but chuckle.

She pulled Xiaoying and Yehui back behind the wall.

At this moment, Li Jia, who had just delivered the cake, opened the door, lowered her head, and walked out quickly. The blush on her face had not yet faded, and her steps were a little unsteady.

After Li Jia had walked away, Ye Hui and the other two came out from behind the wall.

"Let's hurry up, or we'll run into Lijia soon."

Sakura glanced down the hallway, then led Ye Hui and Tomoyo downstairs quickly.

"Speaking of which, Rika is really brave to take the initiative to give the cake to Terada-sensei."

Sakura was still sighing as she walked up the stairs.

“Yes,” Tomoyo agreed. “This kind of sentiment is also very precious.”

Ye Hui watched the two girls chattering away, slowed his pace slightly, and casually asked, "What about you two? Have you ever thought about giving something you made yourself to someone you like?"

Upon hearing this, Sakura's cheeks instantly turned bright red.

She murmured softly, "I...of course I thought about it..."

"When you see Snow Rabbit later, will you tell him that you made this cake especially for him?" Ye Hui asked with a smile.

"I...of course I wanted to tell him that, but I didn't dare..." Sakura's voice trailed off, her head bowed even lower, "I'm afraid he won't like it..."

Ye Hui shook his head as he looked at her pathetic state.

"Don't worry, he'll definitely like it." Ye Hui patted Xiaoying's shoulder and gave her an reassuring look.

"Really?" Sakura raised her head, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Ye Hui nodded: "Of course, you have to believe in your own skills, and even more so in Xue Tu's feelings for you—how could he not like your gift?"

—After all, he treats you like his own little sister.

Even if there's a stone in the cake, he'll... well, he'll laugh and say it's not that it's delicious, but he'll probably say something like, "What a peculiar dessert."

Ye Hui chuckled to himself.

"Okay!" Encouraged by Ye Hui, Xiaoying regained her confidence. "Then when I see Yukito later, I must tell him in person that this is something I made especially for him!"

Seeing her renewed fighting spirit, Ye Hui nodded in satisfaction.

The child is teachable.
As they spoke, the three of them had already reached the edge of the playground.

From afar, they could see Touya and Yukito standing by the fence of the playground, waiting for them.

Touya had his hands in his pockets, while Yukito had his arms crossed; the two seemed to be talking about something.

"Onii-chan! Yukito-san!"

Sakura spotted them immediately and quickened her pace, clutching the cake box tightly to her chest to prevent it from being thrown around.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi followed behind her, walking at a leisurely pace.

"Why are you so slow?" When Touya saw them, his brows furrowed again as usual when his gaze swept over Ye Hui.

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +7】

"Because we just delivered a cake to Ms. Mizuki! She even praised how delicious it was!" Sakura explained proudly.

Upon hearing the name "Teacher Guanyue".

Touya's expression visibly paused for a moment, a complex look flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his usual indifference and did not press the matter further.

Ye Hui keenly noticed this detail and chuckled to himself.

Normally, he would definitely have said something sarcastic to Sakura, but now he just shut up.

It seems the influence of his ex-girlfriend hasn't completely dissipated yet.

That's true. Back then, his young heart must have been quite innocent. It's normal that it was shattered so easily and hasn't been completely healed yet.

"Really? Then does Mizuki-sensei like it?" Yukito, oblivious to Touya's odd behavior, looked at Sakura gently.

"Yes! Ms. Mizuki said this is the best chocolate cake she's ever eaten!" Sakura nodded vigorously, her pride even more evident on her face.

"Wow~ Are we in for a treat today? Can I try Sakura's cake too?" Yukito's eyes fell on the cake box in Sakura's hand, looking on with anticipation.

"Of course!"

Sakura immediately handed over the cake box, her cheeks flushing red with a hint of nervousness.

She took a deep breath, finally mustering her courage, and whispered, "Um... Brother Snow Rabbit... this cake... I made it especially for you. I learned how to make it from Ye Zi for a long time..."

He finally said it!

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, while carefully watching Yukito's reaction.

Snow Rabbit was clearly taken aback when he heard this.

But then, his smile brightened considerably, his eyes filled with surprise: "Was this made especially for me? I'll definitely have to try it!"

He took the cake box and gently opened the lid.

Instantly, a rich and mellow chocolate aroma wafted over, mixed with the sweetness of cream, without being cloying at all.

The sweet aroma alone is enough to make one's mouth water.

"Wow, it looks so exquisite, even prettier than the ones sold in dessert shops. I'm sure it will taste delicious too."

Yukito exclaimed in admiration, took a fork from the bag that Tomoyo handed him, gently cut off a small piece, and put it in his mouth.

With one bite, he instantly squinted his eyes in bliss: "Sakura, your skills are getting better and better! This chocolate is rich but not greasy, and the cream is refreshing. It's even better than the cake from the dessert shop I had last time."

"Really? I'm glad you like it, Snow Rabbit Bro!"

Upon receiving affirmation, Sakura's eyes lit up instantly, and her blush deepened.

Touya stood by and watched without saying a word, but Ye Hui still managed to glean a tiny bit of something from his expression…

Glad?

The corner of Ye Hui's mouth twitched.

Don't try to guess what's going on in a sister-obsessed person's mind.

"I'll try it too."

As Touya spoke, he picked up the fork from Yukito's plate, forked a small piece of cake, and put it in his mouth.

Ye Hui stared at the fork that had just been stunned by the snow rabbit, and took a step back without making a sound.

No, don't you have your own cake?

I specially saved a piece for you, but you insisted on eating it.

You're a complete pervert!

Ye Hui moved away from Touya and closer to Tomoyo. After chewing a few bites, Touya slowly commented, "...It's so-so, a bit too sweet, barely edible."

It's another classic catchphrase.

Ye Hui was so tired of hearing it that his ears were practically calloused.

Whenever he and Sakura made something delicious, Touya would always be sarcastic and then keep eating it all.

"Brother, you're so mean! It's clearly delicious, I think you're just saying that on purpose!" Sakura glared at him, clearly annoyed.

"Alright, alright~ Everyone, let's find a place to sit down and eat together." Yukito smiled and smoothed things over, pointing to the benches by the playground, "There are places to rest over there, let's go sit over there."

The group walked to the bench and sat down, with Ye Hui taking a bite of cake.

I looked up and saw the afternoon sun shining down.

There were bursts of laughter and cheerful chatter all around.

It was a rare moment of leisure.

at this time.

He suddenly noticed a gaze fixed on them from not far behind, yet it was evasive.

Ye Hui glanced at it discreetly out of the corner of his eye.

Good heavens, who else could be hiding behind the tree but Li Xiaolang?

He huddled alone under a tree on the other side of the playground, holding a cake box in his hand, occasionally peeking out with his head, his eyes fixed on the snow rabbit.

That peeking, forward-looking manner made him look like a pervert.

Ye Hui could tell what this guy was thinking at a glance.

She probably wanted to give Yukito the pudding cake he made today, but she was too embarrassed to go up to him, so she could only hide behind the tree, feeling conflicted.

What a typical arrogant brat.

A knowing smile crept across his face: "I'll go buy some drinks; eating cake alone is a bit dry."

Ye Hui stood up and made an excuse.

"Yezi, I have some juice here that I prepared in advance, so you don't need to go and buy it." Upon hearing this, Zhi Shi immediately took out the juice from her bag and handed it to him.

"Uh, you can have it, Tomoyo. I just suddenly felt like having a Coke, so I'll just go buy one from the vending machine." Ye Hui waved his hand and walked towards the tree where Li Xiaolang was hiding.

Tomoyo blinked: "Alright then."

She looked down at the juice in her hand.

Ye Hui, don't you like drinking fruit juice?

At that moment, Sakura and Yukito were chatting happily and didn't notice his movements at all.

Touya stared at Ye Hui's back with a scrutinizing gaze, his brows furrowed slightly.

This guy suddenly made up a lame excuse to leave. What's he up to now?

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +7】

Ye Hui walked behind the tree.

Sure enough, Li Xiaolang was seen clutching the cake box, staring at the direction of the snow rabbit with a conflicted expression.

Hearing footsteps, Li Xiaolang turned around abruptly and saw Ye Hui suddenly appear. He was so frightened that he instinctively hid the cake box behind his back and pressed his body tightly against the tree trunk.

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +11]

His guilty conscience couldn't be clearer.

"Hey, Li Xiaolang, what a coincidence! Are you also looking for some peace and quiet here?"

Ye Hui crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile.

"You...how did you get here? You weren't just here..."

Li Xiaolang's expression was somewhat unnatural, and his eyes darted around.

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +7]

"This playground isn't yours to own, why can't I play here?"

Ye Hui retorted, "But you, hiding behind the tree all alone, carrying a cake box... wait, were you so busy spying on Xue Tu that you didn't even notice me getting up and leaving? Even though I went around in circles, was I really that inconspicuous?"

When Ye Hui saw through his thoughts, Li Xiaolang's face turned red instantly, from his cheeks all the way to his ears.

Ye Hui looked at him and felt that the guy was about to smoke from his head, with faint white steam rising from it.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't!"

He raised his voice, vehemently denied it, and looked flustered.

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +19]

"No?"

Ye Hui raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on the cake box that Li Xiaolang was hiding behind his back, and pointed at it.

"Then what is that thing you're clutching so tightly in your hand? It can't just be a box you picked up anywhere, can it?"

"I..." Li Xiaolang was speechless, his cheeks turning red like a monkey's bottom.

He had actually seen Sakura give the cake to Yukito a while ago, and he saw Yukito eating it happily. He was conflicted for a long time.

If I take my cake out now, wouldn't it be like competing with Kinomoto for the gift?

He would never do something that would make him seem petty or calculating.

Moreover, what if that person eats the cake you made and thinks it's not as good as Sakura Kinomoto's?
Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?
Ye Hui found it quite amusing to see Li Xiaolang's conflicted yet stubborn expression.

This little brat is really funny.

After thinking it over, Ye Hui decided to give him another push.

It not only helps him deliver the cake, but also earns him some emotional points.

After all, we're just a few hundred emotion points away from a ten-pull.

Ye Hui had been wanting to stir things up and build up the emotional momentum, so that it wouldn't drag on for another day or two and wear down everyone's enthusiasm.
Now, it's perfect to kill two birds with one stone!
"Ah, I get it." Ye Hui clapped his hands as if he had just realized something, and deliberately raised his voice, "Did you feel embarrassed to make another cake after seeing that Xiaoying had already given one? Actually, you were afraid that your cake wouldn't be as good as Xiaoying's, and you were afraid of losing, right?"

"I didn't!"

Li Xiaolang instantly bristled, "How could I be afraid of her! My pudding cake is definitely much tastier than her chocolate cake! Eating too much chocolate will make you sick of it!"

Ye Hui suppressed a laugh, then looked at him with suspicion and shook his head: "Really? But what's the use of just talking? You have to let Xue Tu taste it and compare them to see. Anyone can talk the talk but not walk the walk."

"You!" Li Xiaolang pointed at Ye Hui in anger, speechless for a long time.

How come this guy always manages to hit his sore spot so precisely?! It's infuriating!!

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +13]

"Hey, hey, hey, are you really angry? Sorry~ I was just kidding, but what I said was actually true—"

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +14]

"Cough cough!"

Seeing that he was really angry, Ye Hui waved his hand.

"I have something important to tell you."

He held out his hand to Li Xiaolang and said, "Give me the cake."

"Give it to you? What do you want to do with it? You want some? I didn't make any for you!"

Li Xiaolang took a step back warily, protecting the cake box with a guarded look in his eyes.

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +10]

"Huh? Why would you think that about me? Do you think I'd be after your pudding?"

Ye Hui rolled his eyes. "I'm such a nice person, so kind, and so popular with girls. If I ask you for a cake, of course I want to help you deliver it."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolang's lips twitched, and he scanned Ye Hui from head to toe.

Is this person a little abnormal? Who would praise themselves like that?
"Are you sure you're popular with girls? No, I mean are you sure you want to help me deliver the cake, and not sneak a bite for yourself, or give it to that greedy Cerberus?"

"I'm not popular with girls? Don't you see Sakura and Tomoyo bothering me every day?"

Ye Hui said matter-of-factly, "Besides, aren't you embarrassed to deliver it yourself? I'll deliver it for you and say that you made it especially for Xue Tu so she can taste your cooking. Doesn't that solve the problem?"

Li Xiaolang frowned and hesitated.

Should we ask Ye Hui for help?
It just doesn't seem reliable.

But I just couldn't bring myself to go over there.

For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma.

Ye Hui noticed his concerns and changed his approach: "Since you're so worried, I can avoid directly saying that you sent it on purpose, how about that?"

"So what are you going to say?" Li Xiaolang asked instinctively.

"I would say that this is your challenge."

"A challenge?" Li Xiaolang was stunned.

"Yeah, right." Ye Hui nodded, spouting nonsense with a straight face.

"You're not convinced by Sakura's cake, so you specially made an even tastier one to compete with her. So you want Yukito to judge whose cake is better."

Ye Hui paused for a moment, then added, "This way, you won't feel embarrassed, and you can openly let Xue Tu taste your cake. You can also have a competition with our big sister. If Xue Tu thinks your cake is the best, how prestigious will you be? It's a win-win situation, how about it?"

Li Xiaolang: "Hmm..."

He stared at Ye Hui without saying a word for a long time.

This guy has a pretty clever thought process!
How could they even come up with such a reason?
But... it does seem to make some sense?
This way, the snow rabbit can eat cake without seeming like I'm just following the trend and giving a gift, and I can also get along with my older sister... Pshaw!
Compared to Kinomoto, it doesn't seem like a bad deal?

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +12]

"Well? Have you made up your mind yet? If you keep dawdling, Snow Rabbit might leave already~" Ye Hui tempted.

Li Xiaolang gritted his teeth, hesitated for a long time, and finally handed over the cake box in his hand, his voice muffled: "...Say whatever you want."

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +9]

Ye Hui took the cake box, his smile deepening.

Done! Delivering the cake for this brat will not only earn me money from him, but I can probably also make some money from Yukito, or even Touya, if I take it to Yukito's place.

That's killing two birds with one stone!

He turned around, carrying the cake box, and walked towards the bench where Sakura and the others were.

"Ye Zi, you're back! Did you manage to buy a Coke?"

Sakura saw him and waved, but her gaze quickly fell on the cake box in his hand. "Eh? What are you carrying? Is it a cake too?"

"Yes, it's a pudding cake made by Li Xiaolang."

Ye Hui nodded and said it directly.

He walked straight up to the snow rabbit and placed the cake box on the open ground in front of him.

As everyone knows, he also cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness, and a ruthless person is naturally untrustworthy.

Of course, the definition of this ruthlessness can be quite flexible.

"Li's cake?" Sakura paused, then instinctively looked towards the other side of the playground. "Did he come over too? I didn't see him."

Snow Rabbit was also a little surprised. She put down her fork and asked, "Li, you're here too? Why don't you come and sit with us?"

"He's here, but he's a little shy. He's hiding behind that tree over there and doesn't dare to come over." Ye Hui had no intention of hiding Li Xiaolang at all, and instead pointed directly to the big tree where Li Xiaolang had just been hiding.

However, on the other hand, while people may break their promises, cultivators must still maintain their integrity.

He could directly tell Yukito about the fact that Little Wolf was too embarrassed to come out, and he could also talk to them about what he had promised Little Wolf before.

"Li Xiaolang is probably not convinced that Sakura's chocolate cake is delicious, so he challenged you with his pudding cake. By the way, he asked Yukito to be the judge and decide whose cake is better."

"Huh?!" Sakura's eyes widened, and she instinctively straightened her back.

Tomoyo sat to the side listening, a smile flashing across her purple eyes.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

Touya leaned back on the bench, arms crossed, watching coldly from the sidelines.

A cake challenge? That's so childish.

But would that kid surnamed Li even know how to do this kind of thing?
Touya glanced sideways at Ye Hui.

I have a feeling that it was actually this guy who was instigating the Li family kid behind the scenes.
After all, this guy is full of bad intentions and is good at playing the victim.

He completely charmed his younger sister.

They bring people home every day!
Even Tomoyo wasn't this diligent when she came before!
【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +9】

At this point, only the snow rabbit was still unaware of the situation.

He looked at the two completely different cake boxes in front of him, a troubled expression on his face. He scratched his head and said, "This... how am I supposed to choose? Sakura's chocolate cake is delicious, and of course, Li's pudding cake looks delicious too. I think they should both be pretty good."

"Don't worry, Snow Rabbit! My chocolate cake is definitely the best!" Sakura said.

She was very confident, after all, she had been professionally trained by Ye Hui!
She was absolutely confident in the cake she made!

"Alright then, I'll try Li's cake."

Snow Rabbit opened the cake box that Li Xiaolang had prepared.

Inside is a simple pudding cream cake, with a smooth pudding layer on top and simple patterns piped around it with whipped cream.

Although it wasn't as elaborate as Sakura's cake, it had a refreshing and delicate feel to it.

Snow Rabbit picked up a fork, cut off a small piece, and put it in its mouth.

The smoothness of the pudding, the sweetness of the cream, and the softness of the cake base melt together in your mouth.

Snow Rabbit's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "This is delicious too! The pudding has a very smooth texture, and the sweetness is just right, not cloying at all! It's amazing!"

"Of course, Sakura, your chocolate cake isn't too sweet at all; it's really well made!"

Hiding behind the tree, Li Xiaolang heard Xue Tu's loud praise, and his cheeks instantly turned red again. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, this person likes to eat!
As for Yukito's attempt to maintain balance in the latter half of the speech, he completely ignored it.

However, the thought of what kind of challenge Ye Hui had sent it under made him feel uneasy, and he dug his fingers into the tree trunk.

Who do you think tastes better?

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +12]

Sakura, watching Yukito praise Li Syaoran's cake, ignored the rest of what he said and instead stared at him, asking, "So... Yukito-nii, which one do you think tastes better? Yukito-nii, tell me quickly!"

Snow Rabbit looked at the two completely different cakes in front of her.

Looking at Sakura's expectant eyes, he was suddenly faced with a fundamental dilemma.

He scratched his head, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Well... I think... Sakura's chocolate cake is tastier."

"Yeah! I win!"

Upon hearing this, Sakura cheered instantly and even made a big victory "V" sign in the direction of the tree where Li Xiaolang was hiding.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolang, who was hiding behind the tree, froze completely, petrified.

He actually lost?!

"Yukito, have some more! There's still plenty of this chocolate cake left!" Sakura happily pushed her cake box towards Yukito.

"Okay, then I'll eat a little more." Snow Rabbit glanced at the big tree not far away, but couldn't see Li Xiaolang at all.

After a pause, he had no choice but to pick up his fork, cut off a small piece of chocolate cake, and put it in his mouth.

The next second, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

Touya also tried the cake made by Li Xiaolang, chewing it a couple of times.

"Tch, these two cakes are just so-so, nothing special."

Seeing this, Ye Hui waited until they finished eating, then picked up the cake box and slowly walked back behind the tree.

At this moment, Li Xiaolang was still immersed in the blow of losing to the big sister, his eyes were blank, and he hadn't come back to his senses.

"Hey, snap out of it." Ye Hui gently nudged his arm with the cake box.

Li Xiaolang suddenly woke up with a start. When he saw that it was Ye Hui, his face flushed red and then turned pale. His tone was filled with anger and embarrassment: "You... what are you doing here!"

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +13]

"I brought you a cake box. Do you expect me to get rid of this garbage for you?" Ye Hui handed the cake box to him.

"Take it! I've given it all to you, so don't give it back!" Li Xiaolang turned his face away in a huff.

"Huh? You kid, you're deliberately not taking out your own trash, aren't you?" Ye Hui raised an eyebrow.

"I...didn't you just take the cake from me? I didn't beg you to give it away!" Li Xiaolang glared.

Ye Hui chuckled, then suddenly changed the subject: "Actually, Brother Xue Tu also really likes the cakes you make. I saw his eyes light up when he ate them just now, and he said the pudding was very delicate."

Li Xiaolang didn't believe him at all, and frowned as he retorted, "He clearly said that Kinomoto's tastes better! You don't need to lie to me! I'm not some little girl who cries when she fails! I'm not sad at all right now!"

"..." Ye Hui's lips twitched, but he still said, "You don't understand, do you? This is called social etiquette!"

He patiently explained, "Think about it, Sakura is Touya's sister, and Yukito and Touya are best friends. Can he say in front of Touya that your cake is better than her sister's? That would make Touya lose face."

"Really?"

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +10]

Ye Hui pursed his lips, not letting out a laugh, then nodded and continued to deceive, "Of course! Think about it again, he ate Sakura's cake, didn't he also finish your piece? That means he likes both, it's just that in that situation, he can only say that Sakura's tastes better."

"If you don't believe me, try giving the cake to Yukito separately next time, and he'll definitely give you a long rave review."

"Is...it really like that?" Li Xiaolang raised his head, his eyes wavering.

"Of course it's true! Would I lie to you? We cultivators never lie!"

Ye Hui patted him on the shoulder, "Besides, you know that Yukito is the best at taking care of other people's feelings. How could he possibly say that his sister's cake wasn't good in front of Touya?"

Li Xiaolang looked down at the empty cake box in his hand, remained silent for a moment, and then his tense shoulders slowly relaxed.

It seems that's indeed the case?

The surprise in Snow Rabbit's eyes when he ate his cake didn't seem fake.

Besides, it would be inappropriate to say to someone's face that their sister's cake wasn't as good as others', right?
Snow Rabbit also has its own difficulties.
Seeing that he was softening, Ye Hui understood and waved his hand, "Alright, I'm going back now. You should go home early too, don't keep Meiling waiting for too long."

[Li Xiaolang's Mood Value +9]

Ye Hui was very satisfied when he saw the final emotion value pop up.

Including what I gained from Li Xiaolang, and the emotional points I just got from Xue Tu and the others.

I just managed to get him enough points for a ten-pull!
At this time, it was not yet time for Hoshino High School to let out, so Touya and Yukito went back to the school.

Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi, carrying their schoolbags, set off on their way home.
