Chapter 45

The distance from the school to the orphanage wasn't far, so Fu Lingchen and the others quickly arrived at the orphanage.

As soon as Fu Lingchen got out of the floating car, he was startled by Colin suddenly rushing up to him.

Once Fu Lingchen recovered from his surprise, he saw Colin looking at him with twinkling eyes.

Fu Lingchen: "Sir Colin, is there something you need?"

Colin clasped his hands together in a pleading gesture and looked at Fu Lingchen with anticipation in his voice: "Fu Lingchen, please teach us how to make those snacks!"

As soon as Colin finished speaking, Mannel, who was following Colin, immediately nodded in agreement, showing with his actions that he shared Colin's desire.

Colin and Mannel had also watched Fu Lingchen's livestream, as everyone was curious about the reason Fu Lingchen and Ilt were invited to the school.

At first, Colin and Mannel laughed heartily when they saw Yanaan and Loshan arguing over Fu Lingchen. Colin even laughed so hard he had a stomachache... but when they saw Yanaan and Loshan enjoying Fu Lingchen's snacks, their smiles froze.

Seeing the snacks but not being able to eat them was too much to bear! Moreover, after several episodes of filming, Colin and Mannel were well aware of Fu Lingchen's extraordinary culinary skills.

Competing with children for snacks? Colin and Mannel wouldn't do such a thing, and from the livestream, they also realized that apart from the snacks reserved for Garlan, the rest had already been eaten.

Thus, driven by their cravings, Colin and Mannel thought of asking Fu Lingchen to teach them how to make the snacks.

Fu Lingchen: "Sir Colin, you want me to teach you how to make pudding and cupcakes, right?"

Colin nodded vigorously.

Fu Lingchen: "Do you want to start now?"

"Yes, if possible. Whatever materials and equipment are needed, I can have Naegel prepare them immediately!" Colin's eyes sparkled as he looked at Fu Lingchen. He wished he could learn the method instantly to enjoy the long-awaited treats sooner. He felt he couldn't wait another second.

Under Colin's hopeful gaze, Fu Lingchen frowned slightly and said, "That's not really possible."

"I see, well then," Colin tried to remain calm, hiding his disappointment, but his emotions were clearly displayed on his face.

Seeing Fu Lingchen's refusal and Colin and Mannel's disappointed expressions, Yanaan and Loshan couldn't help but feel guilty... If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have been so greedy. Now Colin and the other kids at the orphanage could have enjoyed the delicious snacks too. The two children lowered their heads, awkwardly fiddling with their clothing.

"If I were to teach you now..." Fu Lingchen broke the awkward silence, "then the snacks I made today might not be enough."

With a smile on his lips, Fu Lingchen held up the bag in his hand and gestured to Colin and Mannel, who were staring at him blankly, "There are still two large boxes of snacks here. If you and the other kids don't eat them, they might go to waste."

Colin and Mannel, who had been looking dejected, stared at Fu Lingchen in disbelief. As they understood what Fu Lingchen meant, their faces gradually brightened with surprise.

When Fu Lingchen learned that the filming location was an orphanage, he planned to make snacks for all the kids there. However, since only the four kids participating in the shoot remained at the orphanage, and the rest had already moved to their new homes, he still had two large boxes of snacks left.

Thinking about his fluctuating emotions earlier, Colin pouted and complained to Fu Lingchen, "Fu Lingchen, don't you think you're sometimes quite mischievous?"

Fu Lingchen blinked and pretended not to understand, "Hmm? Really? I didn't notice."

Colin: "Don't think that playing dumb will get you off the hook!"

Fu Lingchen took a pudding from the open box and handed it to Colin with a smile, "Have a snack. Let's set aside the trivial details for now."

Colin: "..." Damn, eating someone's food makes it hard to complain.

Colin took a big bite of the pudding with resentment... Considering how delicious the snack was, he had no choice but to forgive Fu Lingchen for his earlier joke. However... the seemingly aloof Fu Lingchen occasionally making such a joke made Colin feel inexplicably happy, as if he were being treated as a friend.

Ilt, standing beside Fu Lingchen, watched gently as Fu Lingchen distributed the snacks to Colin and the others. Ilt had noticed earlier that Fu Lingchen still had a lot of snacks in his bag but remained silent, indulging Fu Lingchen's rare "childishness."

Soon, both Colin and their little guests had snacks in their hands and were devouring them with gusto.

Everyone gathered around the stone table in the courtyard, fully immersed in the food, with no time to talk.

Because there were plenty of snacks, even Yanaan and Loshan, who had already eaten some in the car, now held their favorite treats and savored them slowly.

The only group that did not make an appearance was Haleem's team. Fu Lingchen already disliked Haleem, so he didn't care at all that he and Busoren were missing.

Haleem was well aware of what was happening in the courtyard. He actually wanted to try Fu Lingchen's snacks, but he felt that if he went over there himself, it would seem like he was lowering his noble status. So he sat with Busoren in the small building's living room, waiting for Fu Lingchen to invite him over.

Haleem thought that since Fu Lingchen had invited all the other guests, it was only reasonable for him to be invited as well. Otherwise, it would be unacceptable and could lead to criticism.

Haleem's assumption was an overestimation of his own status in Fu Lingchen's eyes, showing a complete lack of self-awareness.

When Fu Lingchen noticed Yanaan frequently glancing at the large tree behind him, he followed his gaze and soon spotted the small insect hiding behind the tree, watching them enviously.

Fu Lingchen immediately recognized that the small insect was one of the little guests Haleem was responsible for.

The pink-haired little insect, shy and reserved, immediately hid behind the tree when it realized that Yanaan and Fu Lingchen had noticed it, using the tree's branches to conceal itself.

Fu Lingchen bent down and whispered a few words to Yanaan, who then ran over to the tree with a smile, pulling the pink-haired insect out from behind it and bringing it to the stone table to join everyone in enjoying the delicious snacks.

Feeling experienced now, Yanaan guided the pink-haired insect, "Lymide, start with this pudding; it's the best!"

Loshan, who seemed to have a natural conflict with Yanaan, disagreed, "No, the cupcakes are the best. Lymide, you should start with the cupcakes!"

Lymide, caught in a dilemma, thought: "..." So, which one should he choose? Should he eat both at once?

Haleem, sitting in the living room, continued to wait for Fu Lingchen to come in and invite him. However, not only did he not receive an invitation, but he also noticed that even the little insect he was responsible for had gone over to Fu Lingchen's side, which made him increasingly annoyed.
