My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 569 - 192 Glass Shaomai_2

Upon hearing Miao Miao say this, Du Xixi felt much more at ease about this solidified relationship. Both Chen Yin and Miao Miao, once they show signs of committing to one person, barring any unexpected events, that person is likely the one for life.

Du Xixi gently touched Miao Miao’s hair, silently wishing for a smooth and beautiful future for Chen Yin and Miao Miao’s relationship.

December arrived, and alongside the regular classes at the Food Department, Miao Miao welcomed her short monthly home break. With a total of two days off, she decided to spend one day at home and another visiting the Imperial Palace.

Earlier, upon learning about Miao Miao’s holiday dates, Chen Yin persistently pestered her until she agreed to spend a day at the Imperial Palace keeping him company.

Miao Miao was initially worried about disturbing Chen Yin’s work affairs, but thanks to Chen Yin’s previous overly exuberant response to heartbreak, he managed to handle a vast number of work affairs in advance, sleeping only two hours a day at most, now allowing him some relatively free rest time.

Chen Yin couldn’t guarantee no work responsibilities for a whole day, but at least he could find time to chat and stroll with Miao Miao. Even when busy, as long as Miao Miao could sit by him, visible whenever he lifted his head, Chen Yin felt content.

Chen Yin depicted himself as so romantically pitiable, and Miao Miao, new to love with her hopeful heart, naturally agreed under his gentle persuasion. But before accompanying Chen Yin, Miao Miao still needed a good rest at the Ke Family’s home.

That day happened to be a sunny Saturday morning. Du Xixi came downstairs yawning, while Miao Miao, sitting on the couch brushing Er Er’s hair, raised her hand to greet, "Miss, good morning."

Yiyi and Er Er’s hair had grown quite long, though at an acceptable length now. Er Er’s hair, naturally curly, always tangled upon waking, requiring a thorough brush to prevent it from becoming a decent "haystack." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Yiyi was engrossed in playing with a building block toy, squatting on the ground with a seriously furrowed brow, showing his deep concentration.

"How did Er Er’s hair get so curly?" Du Xixi approached Er Er, gently touching his already partly untangled hair. Although Er Er’s black hair was of excellent quality, it tangled without mercy.

Ke Xing sipped tea casually and chuckled, "Probably inherited from Ah Lan; his hair was always tangled when young. He stubbornly refused to cut it, but after entering military school, he shaved it all off as a buzz cut, freeing him from tangles."

Du Xixi and Miao Miao were momentarily surprised. Given Ke Lian’s stern and serious image, it was hard to imagine him with a cold expression and messy curly hair wandering around outside.

Reflecting on it, Du Xixi liked Ke Lian regardless of his appearance but preferred his current neat image. Moreover... she glanced at Er Er, suggesting softly, "Why not shave Er Er’s head into a buzz cut too? It would be easier to manage."

Er Er abruptly looked up, not quite catching Du Xixi’s fast, soft words, but instinctively sensing a threat to his hair. The little guy defensively covered his head, steadfastly refusing to let anyone touch it.

"Hey! He’s just like his dad back then!" Ke Xing laughed, remembering how young Ke Lian fiercely protected his hair. Even when Ke Lian’s mother stepped in, she could only trim it slightly shorter, but any efforts to cut it further were futile.

Otherwise, why did Ke Xing say Ke Lian was so stubborn back then?

Du Xixi was mostly speaking casually, not really intending to cut Er Er’s hair, but was amused by Er Er’s cautious demeanor, teasing him a bit more before heading to the dining table for breakfast.

While she was eating breakfast, Miao Miao quietly approached her, crouched beside Du Xixi with a slightly flushed face and a shy swaying demeanor, seemingly a bit embarrassed. "Miss, could you teach me some simple... breakfast recipes? I want to make them to bring to Brother Chen Yin tomorrow."
