Lai Mingyan didn't know how things ended on their side, but when he came to see his mother that morning, Xu Rouguang was already preparing breakfast. He was even slicing a rather fragrant pie for the morning. It had a lush filling inside, but it didn't look too much for the thickness of the crust and the top. It seemed to be a custard pie, but its filling of melding orange and red complemented the melted, grated cheese on top.
The sweet scent of the pie traveled so fast that Lai Mingyan and Xu Longshan competed in getting through the door first like normal brothers. After them came Bu Baobao who was getting a whiff of a familiar ingredient. She then hurried to her seat at the table and eyed the pie being served to everyone. "Mr. Rou, it smelled like… it has Water Heaven Tulips in it..."
