Yun Che’s Shortcomings

In case that they might miss Fei Ye's email, Yun Che and the members didn't stay in the space but went out after supper. The boys didn't want to leave, so Heiyu and Chenchen stayed with them and led them to adventure. However, after two days, they still got nothing from Fei Ye. The boys' birthday arrived. Mo Jiancheng and his wife, and those from the Xing family all came here for the celebration.

Yun Yao, Wang Suhua, and other women had been busy in the kitchen since early morning, while men were either helping deal with chickens and sheep or chatting casually. Some wandered around the base. Yun Che was never good at cooking. After he failed several times trying to make a cake, he was finally kicked out by Yun Yao and wasn't allowed to get into the kitchen until Xing Feng said he would help.

"This should do. What do you think?"

Yun Che's hands were full of the floor. He had the pastry bag in one hand and held the flower he had made in the other. With Xing Feng's help, the embryo cake was baked already. In case the embryo might be ruined, Yun Che decided to try it on the molds first. Unfortunately, despite all his talents in other things, cooking was the last thing he would be good at.

"Well."

"Master, why does it look like shit?"

When Xing Feng was struggling with what to say so that Yun Che wouldn't be upset, Heiyu came over from nowhere and mocked directly. Moreover, he even added, "It's like green shit indeed."

"Uhhhh."

Yun Che's face was gloomy. He turned back and threatened, "Do you want to start a war or something?"

Heiyu acted as if he just found out about Yun Che's reaction. He hurried to jump on Xing Feng's shoulder and explained, "Hey, Master, see it yourself, okay? It looks like, well, it looks like that no matter what! You know what I mean, right?"

For the very first time, Heiyu doubted himself because he couldn't even think of a proper word to describe the thing.

"Oh, get out of my sight! I don't want to see you!"

Realizing Heiyu was right about the thing in his hand, Yun Che threw it away and started again. He believed he could at least make a flower if he practiced more.

Xing Feng came over with a spoiled smile. He hugged him from behind, took his hands, and said, "Let me teach you."

Yun Che felt itchy to feel the hot breath in his ear. As soon as he tried to avoid it, Xing Feng started working. He held his hands, squeezed the green cream with one hand, and turned the mold with the other. After a few seconds, a green rose was done. Recalling what he had made just now, Yun Che was heartbroken. Why was there such a big difference between them?

"The kitchen is not your battlefield, Che. Just leave it to me and you can do the eating."

Xing Feng whispered in his ear, "All right."

Turning around, Yun Che approached him and kissed him on his lips. Why should he be bothered that he couldn't cook? As long as Xing Feng was here, he wouldn't be starved anyway.

"Oh, please, my eyes got hurt."

Heiyu jumped down and ran away soon. He couldn't bear what would happen next.

Xing Feng and Yun Che looked at each other with a smile, and then they continued their work doing the cake. After a while, Chenchen came over. Seeing them building a house with a garden, inside which were three piggies either lying or sitting, Chenchen frowned, "Uncle, why didn't you make three Ultramen?"

"What?"

Yun Che had just added the ear for the last pig, so he was blank for a moment. Then he mocked at himself, "Do you really think that was something I could handle?"

Three piggies were the best he could do, alright?

"But I like Ultraman!"

Chenchen supported his head with both hands and still felt unhappy. He just loved Ultraman too much.

"Your uncle Feng will make you one on your birthday next year. How does that sound?"

To make him feel better, Yun Che betrayed Xing Feng immediately. Chenchen was finally in a good mood. He added, "I want a pig, too. Made by you, of course."

"Okay, I'll make a pig as well. You do know how to make things hard for me, dude."

Yun Che was speechless.

"Haha, let me get my cousins here to have a look."

Grinning at him, Chenchen was about to run out immediately. Yun Che stopped him, "Hey, not yet, They will finish it soon if they see this. If so, your mother will blame me. That can wait, okay? After you guys wake up from your napping, we'll take it out as our afternoon tea."

"Works for me."

Thinking of how Yun Yao had complained about Yun Che, Chenchen nodded.

"Now go play with your cousins. We'll put it away for the time being."

"Okay."

After Chenchen left, Yun Che and Xing Feng added "Happy Birthday" on the cake and then put it into the refrigerator. They took another half an hour to clean the mess and then went out. It was already past ten in the morning. Yun Che had stayed there for four hours to prepare the cake.

"It's done?"

Seeing them coming over, Yun Cheng delivered each of them a cup of ice water.

"Dad!"

"Daddy!"

The boys left the guests there and rushed to them immediately. Yun Che believed calling them both dads would confuse them, so he told the boys to call Xing Feng "father." But the boys changed the way and called Xing Feng "daddy". And that worked fine for all of them

"Dad, cake."

Perhaps because Yun Ziyang shared the same family name as Yun Che, compared to his big brothers, he was more close to Yun Che. Right now, he held his leg and pleaded pitifully, while his brothers were both in Xing Feng's arms.

"That can wait after breakfast. Eat your meal first, or your Aunt might be upset."

Yun Che held Yangyang up and rubbed his nose. Along with Xing Feng, they both walked toward the sofa and got seated. The boys still wore clothes of the same styles. Xing Shining was in blue-green, Xing Shibo was in purple-white, and Yun Ziyang was in red-pink. A short-sleeved shirt with shorts with straps, small leather sandals on each of their feet, combined with a small striped tie on the neck. The three cute guys who shared almost the same faces looked like real princes in the real world.

"Aunt, fierce!"

Yangyang looked around and found that Yun Yao wasn't there, so he stuck his tongue and said the above.

"Well, that's what a queen should be. We should get used to it that your aunt matters the most for each of us in the family."

Yun Che stroked Yangyang's head and repeated what he had always told the boys. No matter how powerful they would be in the future, they should take Yun Yao as their priority and spend their life loving her.

"Yes, Aunt matters the most."

The three nodded agreeably, and that amused the rest. They could foresee that Yun Yao would be the happiest woman in this world in the long future.

"That's right! We are men, and it's our duty to protect your Aunt and others!"

Yun Che stared at the boys with pride, and then he asked with a smile, "Grandpa, what were you talking about? Is everything okay in the capital?"

Yun Che was aware of the situation in the Southwest Base. Thanks to his suggestion, everyone there had their lands. The situations might not be as good as days before doomsday, but they wouldn't be lack food as long as they were hardworking. And since the Southwest Base had developed pretty well, it had attracted many survivors and was qualified to be the biggest base among all.

"We were talking about the kids. They are just like Feng. Kids of the Xing family, they got our genes."

Xing Wanxin was thrilled. He couldn't even control his smile after hearing what "achievements" the boys had made. Their future was promising. That was for sure.

"Dad, you are right indeed."

Xing Tianyi echoed as if he didn't remember how firmly he had disagreed with their marriage. Yun Che and Xing Feng looked at each other and didn't expose him. As long as Xing Tianyi was willing to stop bothering them, they would like to let the past be past.

"The capital is still the way it used to be. The only difference is that the families of Section B and E keep looking for you guys. Grandpa has dealt with Senior Xiao for a few times."

Xing Xu couldn't help himself when mentioning this. The old ones never restrained themselves when quarreling. Every time they came, they fought badly. The old ones with fewer lands almost blamed Senior Xing and Senior Ye for keeping Yun Che and Xing Feng's whereabouts from them. Senior Xing and Senior Ye got tired of them in the end, so they admitted their allegations, and that just started another fight. The younger generations had got used to their quarrels. Otherwise, when the old ones stopped fighting and sat back together to enjoy tea, they might still be there fighting against each other. Perhaps they would hate each other for that.

"Well, they had it coming. Do they really think we couldn't tell what they were up to?"

Senior Xing was pissed when mentioning this again. Everyone had an equal chance to enclose their lands before. It was they who didn't value their opportunity. Who should they blame?

"Haha, I can't say I don't agree."

Yun Che was the only one who could help, but he echoed at this time. Senior Xing turned to him all of a sudden, stared at him for a long time, and then asked, "Che, you see, now they have realized that they had made a huge mistake. They were also willing to double the prize for your help. Would you like to do the favor?"

Senior Xing didn't do this for the old ones. He just felt sorry for the poor survivors in the two sections. The survivors shouldn't be the ones who paid for the upper ones' faults. Now that people in Section C and D could fill their stomachs, and only those in Section B and E were still suffering, he felt bad. No matter what section they belonged to, they were Chinese, and they were supposed to be protected by the military.

"Grandpa, I'd like to help, but I don't think it's necessary."

It was easy for him to realize what the old ones were thinking.

Yun Che beckoned Xing Feng, and the latter went out with the kids. As soon as their house was covered with a border, Yun Che continued, "Zombies will disappear in a year at most. By then, the land polluted by the zombie virus will be purified. That is to say, all the lands will be good enough for planting, just as good as what they were before doomsday."

Besides, Yun Che didn't have time to help purify the lands. He would head to the Northeast Base after today.
