Chapter 57: Chapter 54: Every Bite Leaves Her Enchanted

At the moment Huang Jun stepped briskly into the small (4) class holding the pumpkin pancakes…

The rich aroma of pumpkin pancakes in his hands quietly filled the air, making the already fragrant classroom even more aromatic, causing anyone who smelled it to drool…

“Gulp~”

“Gulp~”

“…”

In an instant, the sound of swallowing saliva involuntarily echoed throughout the classroom.

“Hmm hmm, why does this smell keep getting better? Are the pumpkin pancakes ready?”

“So fragrant, so fragrant… look, I’m drooling…”

“Teacher, teacher, are the pumpkin pancakes ready yet?”

“Pumpkin pancake, Yuanyuan misses you so much, come to Yuanyuan’s mouth quickly…”

“Pfft~”

Miss Yang and the other two teachers were amused by Yuanyuan’s innocent words and adorable, silly look, covering their mouths as they laughed.

The other children were also amused by her words, bursting into hearty laughter.

Laughing so much they leaned forward and backward!

Yuanyuan didn’t know why everyone suddenly started laughing, but seeing everyone laugh, she joined in with giggles herself.

Qingqing and Weiwei, however, were not influenced.

The two sisters whispered to each other, head to head: “Sister, when will daddy come?”

“I don’t know either, he should be here soon, right?”

As she spoke, Qingqing couldn’t help but stretch her neck, trying hard to look towards the classroom door…

You never know until you look!

And a glance brought surprise right before her eyes…

Seeing their father in a white chef’s uniform approaching from afar, Qingqing’s eyes lit up like light bulbs and she shouted with joy, “Daddy~”

Daddy?

Who’s calling for daddy?

Ah, it’s Qingqing calling!

Has Qingqing’s dad arrived?

Instantly, the laughter in the classroom came to an abrupt halt!

All the children instinctively craned their little heads and glanced towards the classroom door.

When they saw the handsome face of Huang Jun…

All the children’s anticipation turned to surprise, and each one broke into smiles, cheering joyfully:

“Qingqing’s daddy is here, Qingqing’s daddy is here, Qingqing’s daddy is here~”

To those unaware, it seemed like some big celebrity had come to their class!

The next second, all their eyes landed on the large stainless steel tray in Huang Jun’s hands, and seeing the tray filled with countless golden pumpkin pancakes, their eyes shone like they had just seen the most precious treasure, with their little faces eagerly expressing their desire to eat.

“Pumpkin pancakes!”

“Wow… so many pumpkin pancakes… I really want to eat them now…”

“I want to eat pumpkin pancakes!”

“I want to eat, I want to eat too…”

“Daddy~”

“Daddy~”

While the other children were entirely focused on the pumpkin pancakes, clamoring to eat, only Qingqing and Weiwei weren’t thinking about eating for now, just about their father!

Huang Jun heard the sweet and soft calls of the two, his heart filled with sweetness, and responded with an affectionate smile towards them.

Then, he assisted Wang Wenxia in handing out snacks to the children.

“Children, please sit nicely, don’t be anxious. Whoever sits quietly first will get their snacks first from the teacher.”

Yang Yuxi gently calmed the eager children while she couldn’t help but complain to Huang Jun, “Qingqing’s dad, the pumpkin pancakes you made this morning smell so good. Just now while welcoming the kids at the kindergarten gate, the scent almost overwhelmed me, tantalizing…”

“Miss Yang, you’re blaming the wrong person…” Huang Jun smiled slightly.

“Blaming the wrong person?”

Yang Yuxi was confused by his words, looking at him puzzled like a monk scratching his head.

“Yes, if you want to blame someone, blame Miss Xie.”

Huang Jun laughed and explained, “She rushed into the kitchen and opened all the doors and windows at once, allowing the aroma from the kitchen to spread outside.”

The “mastermind” Xie Jianing, upon hearing Huang Jun’s words, displayed an expression that was a mix of laughter and tears.

Oh gosh~

She obviously did a good deed, so why does it seem like she did something bad?

Ah!

These days, it’s really hard to be a good person!

Of course, she understood that Huang Jun meant no harm and was just joking with them.

So, Xie Jianing deliberately put on a serious face and explained in detail, “I did this all for the sake of our kindergarten teachers. If I hadn’t come up with this idea, how could the teachers have so easily brought those kids who didn’t want to attend school into the classroom? Moreover, they don’t cry after entering the classroom, all thanks to my culinary tactics dangling before them! Don’t you agree?”

As she spoke, she glanced at Huang Jun and Yang Yuxi, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Yang Yuxi looked at her claiming-credit expression, smiled helplessly, and nodded in agreement, “You’re the hero of our kindergarten, happy now?”

“Miss Yang is right!”

Wang Wenxia also nodded and echoed, “Miss Xie, you truly are the hero of our kindergarten. This morning, the children were all attracted by your food, and after entering the classroom, they didn’t cry at all. They were just a little restless, asking me when they could eat the pumpkin pastries…”

Huang Jun nodded as well, giving his affirmation.

Seeing this, Xie Jianing wore a slightly “proud” expression: “Now that’s more like it!”

In the pauses of the conversation.

The teachers weren’t idle either, busy handing out the pumpkin pastries and milk to the children one by one.

These pumpkin pastries were not big, much smaller than those available on the market, about the size of small cookies, looking delicate and cute.

And Yuanyuan, Hanghang, and other kids who had been eagerly eyeing the pumpkin pastries saw only two on their plates, thinking it was way too little.

Not enough to satisfy their cravings!

So…

They all turned their little heads and shouted to the teachers beside them, “I want more pumpkin pastries!”

“Okay, the teacher knows,”

Yang Yuxi and the others smiled and nodded in response, but didn’t immediately meet their demands, stating the condition, “But you have to finish all your pumpkin pastries and milk first, and then I’ll give you more!”

It’s not that they won’t give them more, it’s mainly because they worry about wastage if they can’t finish, coupled with the fact that snacks are portioned, so they won’t give too much at once.

Remember last semester, many kids in the junior class couldn’t even finish one pumpkin pastry!

So, in all fairness, they temporarily couldn’t meet their demands!

Even though the children’s requests weren’t fulfilled, they didn’t fuss for more from the teachers.

The reason being.

The aroma of the pumpkin pastry in front of them was irresistible.

The sweet fragrance wafted through their noses, making it hard to resist, and just wanted to dig in right away.

So, even though they felt two pumpkin pastries weren’t enough, the children didn’t fuss and instead eagerly reached out to grab a pastry, taking a big bite out of it.

The freshly fried molten pumpkin pastry had a delicate color, resembling a little golden sun. Since it had been cooled in the kitchen beforehand, it wasn’t hot to the touch.

Crunchy and fragrant, sweet and sticky…

Delicious~

The kids ate with beaming smiles!

Seeing the kids enjoying their food, Xie Jianing also quickly picked up a small pumpkin pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, taking out a big chunk in one bite…

A crispy sound came from the outer layer of the pastry, while the inside was soft and filled…

Wow~

This pumpkin pastry actually has a secret…

Her eyes lit up, showing an expression of surprise, “Oh my, there’s filling inside this pumpkin pastry…”

“Yes, this is a molten pumpkin pastry, the filling is brown sugar and sesame,” Huang Jun explained with a smile.

“With the filling, the overall texture is so much richer!”

Xie Jianing was thoroughly amazed.

She carefully savored the taste of the brown sugar sesame filling as it spread in her mouth.

The sweet brown sugar with the fragrant sesame, and the crunchy sticky rice pastry made a perfect match, getting more flavorful with every chew…

Wow!

It’s extremely delicious!

As Xie Jianing chewed the pumpkin pastry in her mouth, not completely swallowed, the half-piece in her hand was subconsciously stuffed back into her mouth.

She felt she’d never tasted such a rich and aromatic pumpkin pastry before, each bite making her more and more indulgent…
