Chapter Thirteen F-Ranked Dessert

  "You're small but your temper is big." Xinyu Yuan tapped on Shangguan Nian'er's head and scolded with a smile.

  Outside the door, the tree's shade was faintly visible, and the shadow passed through the glass to cover Xin Yuanyuan's face. Her smile blossomed, revealing a vague beauty like a flower. Although the city did not have the lush grass and fragrance of the mountains and fields, Shang Guan Neng thought that Xin Yuanyuan's smiling face was even more enchanting than the blooming mountain flowers.

  "Yuanyuan sister, you're really beautiful, even I, a budding flower of the motherland, can't help but be charmed." Xiang Nengren chuckled and said, "In the future, if I marry, I'll marry someone like Yuanyuan sister."

  "Haha, sister is not that great! But hearing you say that, it seems our little genius has also entered the season of first love. How about it, do you have a crush on any girl?" Xin Yuexuan asked with a gentle and elegant smile.

  "Cough, I think those school flowers and campus belles are arrogant and childish, none of them can compare to Sister Yuanyuan. Sister Yuanyuan, does your family have any younger sisters or something? It would be best if they had the same temperament and personality as you, introduce me to them, okay?" Shangguan Nengren winked at Xin Yuanyuan.

  "Smelly guy, how dare you act weird in front of my sister!" Xin Yuanyuan's eyebrows opened with a smile, although she knew that Shang Guan Neng was being playful, but which woman doesn't like to be praised? Shang Guan Neng's indirect flattery made Xin Yuanyuan extremely pleased.

  "Haha, nothing, just haven't seen you for a long time, I miss Yuanyuan sister so much. I'll give you all the flattery that's been stored up over the past few days, and once you're in a good mood, I'll get to eat more cake in the future, right?" Officer Nengren nodded and bowed, flattering excessively, with an appearance just like Li Lianying serving Empress Dowager Cixi in a Qing dynasty drama, completely servile.

  "You just know that I've been thinking about my sister's cake." Xin Yu Yuan chuckled and gently stroked Shang Guan Neng's hair, as if taking care of her own little brother, softly saying: "Do you have anything else to do today? Come over to my place for dinner tonight!"

  Xin Yuexian's gentle gaze almost melted Shang Guan Nengren, but this wasn't a romantic feeling between men and women, it was a purely familial affection. The two had an eleven-year age gap and neither of them had any thoughts of crossing the boundaries of societal norms. Over the past year, as Shang Guan Nengren's feelings for Xin Yuexian grew closer, he came to regard her with the respect and admiration one would have for an older sister, while Xin Yuexian gradually came to treat him like a younger brother.

  Perhaps this is related to both being only children, and both yearning for a brother or sister. In the past year, Shang Guan Nian has appeared at Xin Yu Yuan's most emotionally painful moments, gradually becoming her new emotional dependence, but it must be emphasized that this feeling is not that kind of feeling.

  Shang Guan Neng Ren was the same, lacking siblings since childhood made him yearn for sibling-like relationships even more. When Shang Guan Neng Ren entered Xin Yu Yuan's heart, Xin Yu Yuan also entered Shang Guan Neng Ren's heart, and they gradually developed feelings like close siblings.

  That's why, a few months ago, Shang Guan Neng Ren started to receive occasional invitations from Xin Yu Yuan to go to her home to eat and drink for free. Also because Shang Guan Neng Ren was too thin, Xin Yu Yuan would always prepare a lot of meat dishes, but unfortunately, no matter how much he ate, Shang Guan Neng Ren's body type wouldn't get fat, making Xin Yu Yuan feel helpless and depressed.

  Bai's resentment towards Bei in the beauty center was absolutely justified, as many women were indeed envious of Shang Guan's slender physique, and Xin Yu Yuan was one of them.

  Since giving birth to a child, Xin Yuanyuan has been trying hard to maintain her figure, but she is still a bit fatter than before. Of course, it can also be understood as plump beauty now, but Xin Yuanyuan doesn't like her current plumpness very much. She still hopes that her body shape can be maintained more slender and stylish, just like Shang Guan Nengren's.

  Don't look at Upper Official being a bamboo pole among men, but put him in a pile of women, that's a model figure that drives women crazy. It's easy to understand, the same height of 1.7 meters, if it's a man, it's a bamboo pole, if it's a woman, it's a devil.

  Men need to be strong in order to protect women, and women need to be weak in order to enjoy men's protection. There is no gender discrimination between men and women; what exists is only the evolution and needs of species.

  Shangguan Nengren, a big man, was born with a physique that made women envy and hate him. As he said to Bei Bei, if Shangguan Nengren were to develop his career in Thailand, he would definitely have a bright future.

  "It's just that there's nothing much going on at night, I'm afraid of delaying your money-making."

  Every time Xin Yuanyuan invites Shang Guan Nengren to dinner at home in the evening, the cake shop will close two hours in advance. Although Xin Yuanyuan doesn't mind this little time, Shang Guan Nengren is not very comfortable with it.

  "You'd make your sister happier than anything, and besides, your sister doesn't expect to earn much from the cake shop anyway. It's settled then, come to your sister's house before 7 pm tonight. This time, your sister will buy more fatty meat, and she must stuff you up." By the end, Xin Yu Yuan's tone became 'cruel'.

  Shangguan Nengren chuckled and said: "I also want to be a bit fatter, it's just too difficult."

  Xin Yuanyuan's eyes rolled back in annoyance, just as she was about to scold him a couple of times and vent her frustration, but then she heard a clear and crisp female voice from behind: "Yuanyuan sister, the bread is done."

  Shangguan Nengren turned his head to look, and saw a girl in white clothes with a white apron, holding a tray, on which were dozens of butter breads emitting fragrance.

  The girl looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old, with black hair tied in a ponytail, of medium build, and quite slender. Officer Wang knew her; her name was Zhang Xiuxiu, an apprentice at the store who had been there for more than two months. She was a very simple girl.

  "Put it there!" Xin Yu Yuan smiled and pointed to the counter, Zhang Xiuxiu responded with a hum, put the bread away properly, turned around and looked at Shang Guan Neng Ren, smiling: "Neng Ren little brother, when did you arrive?"

  Zhang Xiuxiu is one year older than Shang Guan Nengren, and in the past two months, Shang Guan Nengren and Zhang Xiuxiu have gradually become familiar with each other, and their forms of address have become more intimate.

  "Just arrived." Officer Neng Ren's eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Xiuxiu, this time he came just for Zhang Xiuxiu. Xin Yu Yuan is a C-level, too far away from Officer Neng Ren, but Zhang Xiuxiu has only been an apprentice for two months, and her level is likely to be F-level.

  Taking two steps forward, Shang Guan reached out and grabbed Zhang Xiuxiu's hand, beaming with a smile as he shook it up and down, just like comrades shaking hands: "Sister Xiuxiu, I haven't seen you in days, and you're getting prettier and prettier."

  "Found F-grade dessert, will it be absorbed?"

  Shangguan Nengren was overjoyed: "Absorb it!"

  "Absorption successful, host obtains F-class dessert."

  As the sound fell, Shangguan Nian felt that there were many more methods of making desserts in his mind. As he absorbed more and more, Shangguan Nian gradually discovered that F-grade was just a basic realm where one's abilities were at their most fundamental level.

  Taking cooking as an example, F-level means being able to cook but only making ordinary dishes. Similarly, when it comes to repairing radios, F-level means being able to repair but only fixing simple problems, unable to fix more serious ones.

  Driving is the same, can drive, but driving is ordinary, and ordinary driving is also drivable. Can go on the road. Martial arts are the same, will practice, but practicing is ordinary, these items are still good, after all, can still get a 'will', but F-class game ability is a complete tragedy.

  Yes, but generally.

  Isn't this just great?! Who doesn't know how to play games?! Once you figure out the controls, it's a piece of cake! But when playing online, some random kid can totally destroy you. What's the point of even trying?! If you're not skilled at operating, who are you going to bully?!

  These discoveries also made Shangguan Changan extremely entangled, it seems that different F-levels represent abilities that can cause huge differences. It's also in line with Shangguan Changan's bad luck, his F-level gaming ability is basically inferior to anyone who plays PvP games. His miserable life has nothing to do with the government, who made him think he could dominate everything back then? Being abused is also unavoidable.

  Being held by Shangguan Nian's hand, Zhang Xiuxiu's face turned red as she smiled shyly: "Nonsense, Yuanyuan is the truly beautiful one!"

  "They're all beautiful, haha." After absorbing the dessert's power, Da Guan Ren's mood became greatly refreshed and his speech also became a bit frivolous.

  Xin Yu Yuan heard it in her ears and saw it with her eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle and say: "Little capable person, you wouldn't have taken a liking to our Xiuxiu, would you?"

  "Huh...?" Officer Shang was stunned, how did he say that? When did I say I had a crush on Sister Xiu?

  Seeing the superior officer's ability to make people daze, Zhang Xiuxiu's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly broke free from his hand and fled in a flash.

  "What's wrong? Xiu Xiu Jie, why are you running?" The confused Shang Guan Neng shouted from behind, but Zhang Xiu Xiu ran even faster.

  "Huh?" Officer Shang was even more puzzled, turned his head and looked at Xin Yuanyuan, saying: "Yuanyuan sister, what's going on here?"

  Xin Yu smiled and stroked Shang Guan Neng's hair, saying: "Little Neng has really grown up, can't you see that Xiu Xiu is shy? However, you're both still young, especially you, who are still in school! There's no rush to have a girlfriend, first focus on finishing your studies properly."

  "Huh?" Shangguan Neng's face turned red with embarrassment: "Yu Yuan sister, you must be mistaken! I don't have any thoughts about Xiuxiu sister."

  "Really? Then why were you just holding onto Xiuxiu's hand and wouldn't let go." Xinyu Yuan was smiling, but her face showed the words 'don't believe'.

  "What's the big deal? It's just a handshake!" Magistrate Bao thought to himself that he was even more wronged than Dou E. If shaking hands meant having that kind of intention, then how many more cases of illicit love and promiscuity would there be in this world?! The AIDS infection rate would definitely increase by 30,000,000...%, and who knows, maybe humanity would become extinct from AIDS.

  Seeing the official's anxious look, Xin Yuexuan smiled slightly and said: "Alright! Sister was just joking with you, but it made Xiuxiu misunderstand a bit. I'll talk to her later, so she won't really take you seriously. This girl is a bit stubborn, if not guided in time, the fake will become real."

  "Are there still such rare things in this world? Are you referring to the ladies of ancient times?" Upper Official Ableman was shocked.

  Xin Yu-yuan tapped on the official's head and said with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense. Your sister Xiu-xiu is from a rural area, her thoughts are a bit traditional, she's different from girls nowadays."

  "Oh? So Xiuxiu is from the countryside! I said she's so down-to-earth!" Shangguan Nengren was suddenly enlightened, stroking his chin and muttering to himself: "But honestly, Xiuxiu is quite good, has a great personality, looks aren't bad either, in the future she'll definitely be a virtuous wife and good mother."

  "What? Really moved?" Seeing Shangguan Nian's thoughtful expression, Xin Yuanyuan smiled.
