Chapter 46

Song Liya woke up early in the morning, she still had a couple of hours before she had to meet with the prince. There was a sigh coming from Song Liya, she didn't want to waste time doing that when she could be with Yu Yingyi.

Song Liya decided to use this time and make some hot chocolate, she remembered pestering Yu Yingyi to give her the recipe. Yu Yingyi didn't want to give it to her since she was worried Song Liya might get addicted to it.

"Haha, how could I get addicted to hot chocolate?"

On the table, there were two cups of hot chocolate already made in a span of two minutes.

"Maybe a little." Song Liya muttered as she took another sip.

The sweetness with a tint of bitterness tasted amazing, it was perfect. It was the best thing to drink in the morning other than tea, but there was no tea.

Song Liya glanced at the time, Yu Yingyi should wake up in an hour and her sister was probably already awake reading books. Perhaps she should give the second cup of hot chocolate to her sister.

Song Liya knocked on the door a few times before something abnormal came into sight.

"Good morning sister, why is Jia Yi sitting on your bed reading a book? Wait, I should be asking you this instead. Why is Jia Yi even in your room?" asked Song Liya.

"Good morning to you too, I'll explain when you come in and what is that you're holding?" asked Song Feng Mian.

"It's called hot chocolate, take it, Yu Yingyi taught me the recipe to make this and it's delicious," said Song Liya.

"Then I will, come in," said Song Feng Mian taking the cup of chocolate as Song Liya entered after.

"Good morning princess, I didn't expect you to come this early," said Jia Yi.

Song Liya glared at Jia Yi suspiciously, "Why're you in my sister's room?"

"This is delicious!" Song Feng Mian exclaimed. "Yingyi must've taught you carefully for you to be able to make something this delicious."

"What's that supposed to mean? Are you trying to say that I can't cook?" asked Song Liya, forgetting Jia Yi.

"Liya, you and I both know you can't cook," said Song Feng Mian.

"I can definitely cook, I can even cook better than you," said Song Liya.

Song Feng Mian rubbed her temples, shook her head, and sighed.

"Then let me ask you this, whenever the two of you eat dinner at home, who makes the food most of the time?"

"Yingyi."

"Who makes lunch most of the time?"

"Yingyi.."

"Who makes breakfast most of the time?"

"Yingyi..."

"See? Not once have you cooked for Yingyi, while I can cook basically anything." Song Feng Mian said proudly.

"Do you have any proof you can cook anything?" asked Song Liya.

"Look around the room, there are so many books and you expect not one of them to be food recipes?"

"Well, I guess there are food recipes. However, not once have I seen you cook though."

"You can try my food out when I'm set free from this room, then you can praise your older sister for how amazing her food taste."

"Tsk, I bet your food wouldn't taste better than Yu Yingyi's."

"Of course it wouldn't taste better than hers, after all, she has the secret ingredient called love."

"Alright, let's stop right there. Also, why is Jia Yi in your room?" Song Liya asked suspiciously.

"Well, I was reading in the morning when there was suddenly a knock on the door. When I opened it, she was there and wanted to know about me since she didn't know you had a twin sister." Song Feng Mian explained.

"And you let her in just because of that reason?" Song Liya asked in disbelief.

"I mean, she seemed harmless so I decided to let her in." Song Feng Mian answered.

"Just for that reason?!" Song Liya asked in disbelief and shook her head. "I'm sometimes worried for you."

"Why is that?"

"Because anyone can seem harmless and before you know it, you're already on the ground bleeding."

"Tsk, as if anyone would dare to do that. Remember I look just like you, who would do that to me?"

"I'm talking about the future when the fact that I have a twin sister is revealed."

"Me being revealed isn't going to happen any time soon, in the situation we're in, it's going to be a while until someone outside of the imperial family realizes I exist."

Song Liya stopped herself from speaking anymore since she knew her sister was correct, there was no way she could win an argument against her sister.

"By the way, what type of book did you give Jia Yi? She seems immersed in it, I don't even think she can hear what we're talking about," said Song Liya.

"Oh, that? I have her a book that's about me, it's basically an autobiography," said Song Feng Mian.

"What?! She's reading an autobiography of you?! What're you thinking?" Song Liya exclaimed.

"Relax, there isn't any crucial information in there, it's basically just an about me book. Important stuff about my past isn't written on it."

"You need to stop giving me heart attacks, one day I actually might die."

"Why're you speaking like an old granda? You're still as young as me, you're not going to die anytime soon. Plus, you should have more trust in me, I wouldn't leak anything that would bring us trouble."

Song Liya looked at her sister in disbelief, she literally gave Jia Yi, someone she didn't know for more than a day, her autobiography, and she wants to talk about trust?

No way.

"By the way, have you decided to go any further with Yu Yingyi yet?" asked Song Feng Mian.

Song Liya was confused, "What do you mean by going further?"

"I know you both have done it before, but I can tell it wasn't official, it didn't deepen the bond between you both."

"Oh, that's what you meant. Well, we've done it, but I was the only one who came."

"I see, I'm not surprised. Well, there's no need to rush it, in the meantime, I suggest you take notes of what Yingyi likes when the time comes. However, make sure she's ready."

"You don't need to tell me like I don't already know. Moreover, when are you going to find someone?"

In the corner of Song Liya's eye, she could see Jia Yi's ears perk up.

"Hmm, I don't think I'll get in a relationship with anyone yet. If I do get it one, I don't think I'll have any time for that person anyways."

"Hmm, I guess that's fitting for you."

"Isn't it time for you to meet the prince? Let me give you a makeover, you're going to look amazing."

"What's with that smile?"

"Don't worry about it."

"Eh?"
