Finding Glowing Beauty in Books 『 Liskook』

Chapter 36 Baking cake

This sentence feels like a pot of ice water being poured onto Lisa's face, waking her up.
Oh... She must have been too excited earlier thinking that she had finished stamping the papers while sleeping.
Jungkook yawned, and with a very sleepy look, he said, "I helped you finish the stamping of the book covers, so in return, today's meals will be prepared by you."
Lisa, "..."
She stood silently and stared at him for a while before saying, "Teacher, stamping has always been your job, I'm just helping you."
Jungkook sat down on the couch, glancing indifferently at her, "That's not my job, it's the job that you found for me."
Hah, even if it's your job, you would still be too lazy to do it!
Lisa's mouth moved twice and finally asked with a smile, "Teacher, what do you want for breakfast?"
After she had made the breakfast, she decided to go home. When she was heading out of the door, Jungkook reminded her, "Remember to come early to prepare lunch."
Lisa, "..."
She plans to order him food online.
Arriving home, Lisa felt tired as she rubbed her sore shoulders. Sleeping in the living room for the whole night, her whole body feels uncomfortable ah. Take a hot bath should be better.
When Lisa was ready to enter her room, Minnie's bedroom door opened. Minnie dressed in princess pajamas walked out with a messy hair. She saw Lisa standing at the door and was obviously surprised, "Lisa Jie, you're finally back now?"
"Ah..."
"Did you stay overnight at Teacher Jeon's place?"
Lisa, "..."
Don't use such sensitive word, 'overnight' ah...
"Wow, I didn't expect that attending parent meet together would be such a great opportunity for a man and a woman to open up their feelings to each other ah!"
Lisa knocked on Minnie's head, "Did you fix all the mistakes in your math test? You need to study hard all day and not waste time thinking about dirty things."
Minnie touched her head and looked up at her, "It's not my fault, you didn't return all night, this itself is very dirty ah."
"...I was stamping the book covers until night, and then fell asleep in the living room. So stop saying nonsense." Lisa finished talking and went inside her room. Minnie whispered outside the door, "Then why are you blushing!"
Jungkook 'helped' her stamping the book covers, so he used that as an excuse to get Lisa over to his home over the next two days to prepare meals. On Monday, Lisa received the stamped cover from Jungkook. After the book is printed, it should be sent to the factory for binding.
Inside the editorial board, the editor informed everyone about the company's anniversary celebration. Each editor is asked to be confirmed with the author again whether they would be able to attend. Lisa looked at the activities, time, content, and the list of authors under her whom had received the invitation.
Cauliflower: [Teacher, I need you to clarify something, the company anniversary the day after tomorrow, can you come?]
Xing Xin: [Hm.]
Cauliflower: [Okay]
Xing Xin: [Did Peanuts receive the invitation yet?]
Cauliflower: [...You mean Cha Eunwoo? Maybe next year he'll be invited ( ╹▽╹ )]
Xing Xin: [Haha...]
Cauliflower: [Oh right, one of the most popular short stories in this month's magazine is his 'Prayer', And we'll give him extra rewards (^‿^)]
Xing Xin: [Hahaha... :D]
Lisa looking at the smiling face that he sent, she could not help but burst out laughing. She felt that there are new people around to stimulate Teacher Xing Xin is also a good thing. The company anniversary celebration is on a Wednesday afternoon, so the editors got off work early and headed over to the hotel that the company booked to gather together. The authors whom received the invitations arrived one after another at the hotel. Lisa stood outside the hotel waiting with the fear that a certain someone might not be able to find their way here.
Yes, she is talking about Teacher Xing Xin. Fortunately, Teacher Xing Xin has been in the city for so many years, so he cannot get lost in the city that easily. Lisa looked at his silver Jaguar coming over from afar and went up towards it.
Jungkook parked and got down from his car. He is still wearing a straight suit, but not the same set from the parent meeting last time.
Lisa glanced at him and had to admid that he wearing a suit is really handsome. Jungkook also scrutinized her for a moment while getting out of the car, then he asked, "Is this the best dress you've got?"
Lisa, "..."
Lisa usually wears casual and simple outfits to work. As for this dress, she just wears it once in a year, and it is the only dress that she has. Although it is not from a popular brand, she thinks that it is a dress that she could wear to meet people. But why coming from his mouth, it sounded so wrong?
She took a deep breath and smiled at Jungkook, "I didn't choose it, since I only have this one dress after all."
Jungkook flashed a hint of surprise, and then in a very sorry tone, he said, "That's sad."
Lisa, "..."
Get lost!
"The event venue is on the third floor, let's go." Lisa quickly turned and walked into the hotel. Jungkook followed behind her, slightly smiled without letting her know.
The venue on the third floor has gathered a lot of people, including the authors and editors. There are several female romance writers who are attending the anniversary event of the company for the first time. When they saw Jungkook, they all could not help but start chatting, "Oh my- Is that an author? Who is that?"
"It seems to be Teacher Xing Xin!"
"Wow, Teacher Xing Xin is my idol! He is so handsome!!!"
"Is it really Teacher Xing Xin?? Not a star invited by a company?!"
Lisa listened to their discussion, turned back to Jungkook and said, "Teacher, you're very popular ah."
Jungkook glanced at her with a surprised look, "You just realized that?"
Lisa, "..."
She really wants to make the public to see his true face, and let's see if those who are worshipping him as Male God will be disillusioned!
The seats in the hall were divided according to the departments, so Jungkook went all the way to the department of novels. All those people sitting around are familiar authors.
Yun Qing biting on melon seeds saw Jungkook and whined, "Every year when participating in the anniversary event, there will be new authors admiring Teacher Xing Xin... Really can't bear to watch ah."
Sitting next to her, Mu Bai laughed, "When you first met Xing Xin, didn't you have the same reaction as those girls?"
"Well, that's because I was young and too naive back then."
Lisa standing at the side absently nodded.
"Oh right, where is Seokjin? How come he's not here yet?" Yun Qing asked.
Jisoo said, "Teacher Seokjin said he had to pick up his daughter from school, so he should be coming soon."
"Ah... We clearly debuted together, yet Seokjin's daughter is so big now, and I don't even have a boyfriend," Yun Qing complained for a while. She then turned around looking at Jungkook, "How about I just sacrifice myself and be together with Teacher Xing Xin..."
Mu Bai laughed. Jungkook calmly said, "I see that you had some fun with the fresh little meat in the group, and I think you both look good together."
"Really? Last time I asked fresh little meat for his photo, but he refused."
"I'll help you next time."
Lisa, "..."
Wait... Wait! The little fresh meat that they're talking about, is it Cha Eunwoo?!
...Dongmin, see what kind of person your idol is! He literally just sold you in seconds!
Seokjin hurriedly arrived before the anniversary event started. The company CEO was on the stage making some comments, and also highlighted several editors and authors. The ceremony then entered the most important part of the event.
The boss has prepared a lot of small programs, not only singing and dancing, there is even a show called 'the close relationship of the editors and authors'.
There is also a baking corner where everyone can bake their own cakes. Although the CEO's intention is to let the authors and editors to do it together, in the end, everyone was looking for someone whom they are familiar with.
Lisa was eager, but she couldn't find her team member, so she went alone. Jungkook looked at the baking corner for a moment and followed her.
When Lisa was putting on her aprons, she saw Jungkook heading over. She surprisingly asked him, "Teacher, you also want to do it?"
"Why not?" Jungkook picked up the apron and tied it.
Lisa looked at him, and no longer said anything. There are semi-finished products on the cooking stage, creams are also prepared. They just need to cream the cake and then decorate it.
Lisa began using the spatula to cream the cake. Jungkook took some fruits out and cut into different shapes, ready to be use as decoration. On the other part of the hall, Yun Qing elbowed Seokjin, "Teacher, your CP ran away with others."
Seokjin turned towards the baking area and blinked, "You say, when will we be receiving wedding invitations from him?"
"...No!" Yun Qing's eyes were wide open in horror. Why is everyone in the group getting girlfriends and boyfriends one by one while she, such a lovely girl, is still single?! This is unfair!!!
Mu Bai sighed, "After getting married, his mental illness might get better."
Seokjin nodded, "At least he'd stop giving red envelopes in the group chat."
Meanwhile, in the baking corner, Lisa and Jungkook are not aware that they had become the topic of other people's conversation as they are seriously preparing the cake. Jungkook whom had cut all the fruits, looked at Lisa icing the cake.
Her cake has been iced two third only, and some looked bumpy. Jungkook looked for a while, could not help but commented, "Ugly."
Lisa, "..."
She stopped her hand and looked up angrily at him, "Then you do it!"
Jungkook stared at her for a while. Suddenly, he reached out and gently wiped her mouth with his index finger, "How did the cream end up here?"
His actions were light, it felt like a feather brushing passed her lips. Lisa's heart started beating fast.
She looked at the cream on his finger and coughed, "Well, because it smelled too good, I just couldn't help but taste it."
Jungkook laughed as he used the tip of his tongue licking the cream on his finger.
Lisa, "..."
...He actually ate the cream that I have eaten! Lisa's face instantly turned red. Her hands suddenly didn't know how to hold the spatula. Jungkook bent over at her, the corner of his mouth quirked up, "What happened to you? Why is your face suddenly so red?"
Lisa, "..."
Teacher, you tell me! Were you just teasing me here just now??
