Rao Jie was startled and immediately said, "What's wrong? Is it too hot? I was careful about the temperature!"
Wu Rong furrowed his brows, slightly sticking out his reddened tongue, but he couldn't see it himself and had to retract it again. He said in confusion, "Did I bite my tongue last night? Why does it feel like my tongue is injured all around?"
In an instant, Rao Jie's face could be described as a volcano erupting.
As Wu Rong turned to ask Rao Jie, he saw her face flushed red, looking so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.
Wu Rong, being the straightforward person he was, had no strange thoughts and directly asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Rao Jie quickly shook her head and fanned her face with her hand, saying, "It's a bit hot."
How could it be hot in this air-conditioned room?
Wu Rong looked at Rao Jie with suspicion.
Rao Jie immediately changed the subject, asking, "Can we drink the porridge now? Or should we wait until it cools down a bit?"
Wu Rong came back to his senses and replied, "Let's drink it now. I just didn't pay attention earlier; it's just a reflex of my body."
As he spoke, Wu Rong unconsciously stuck out his tongue again, seemingly trying to feel the injury on it. He frowned but had no recollection of what happened. Finally, feeling a bit annoyed, he gave up.
Rao Jie was terrified at the sight. She felt extremely shy but didn't dare to do anything excessive for fear that Wu Rong might remember something. Fortunately, from his expression, she could tell that he genuinely had no memory of it at all.
Just as Rao Jie sighed in relief, Wu Rong suddenly said, "I remember something."
Rao Jie's heart jumped into her throat as she trembled and asked, "What is it?"
Wu Rong turned to look at Rao Jie and asked in confusion, "I remember eating cake last night? The sweet kind. Did you make me cake? I ate some before I passed out? This... doesn't make sense!" Wu Rong thought about the timeline and felt that something was off.
Rao Jie felt like crying from anxiety. She knew exactly what Wu Rong meant by eating cake but would never admit it.
"Professor Wu, how could that be? I did make cake; maybe you smelled it and mistakenly thought you ate some? After all, you must have been hungry then," Rao Jie explained with forced calmness, hoping to deceive Wu Rong.
Wu Rong usually wasn't so easily fooled; however, since he had no memory of last night, he couldn't clarify what happened. Moreover, based on his understanding of Rao Jie, she didn't have the guts to lie to him.
But... he vaguely remembered how delicious that piece of cake was... it was truly the softest and most tender taste he had ever experienced; that sweetness was something he had never encountered before.
Could it really be that he smelled something and then imagined it? Even if he caught a whiff of it in his dreams, that sweetness would be enough to linger in his mind.
Wu Rong thought for a moment and said, "It should be, right? That cake from last night smelled really good. You should make it for me again sometime; I want to try it!"
Rao Jie suppressed the urge to rush out the door and nodded firmly.
At that moment, Ye Ming had already woken up leisurely. Hearing Wu Rong's words, he couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Rong's love for sweets really hasn't changed. You might as well marry a pastry chef to supply you with desserts for life."
...
After the noisy Ye Ming was unceremoniously sent away by Wu Rong, only Wu Rong and Rao Jie remained in the room. Rao Jie held her pounding heart, genuinely afraid that Wu Rong's next words would send her on another emotional rollercoaster.
