Chapter 5: The Warmth in the Depths of Memory

"Sorry... When I came to my senses, I..." Kiana covered her stomach embarrassedly and said with an awkward smile.

"It took most of the day, including jumping into the river and getting first aid." Xiang glanced at the time and it was already one o'clock in the morning.

Reluctantly, he took out two boxes of biscuits from the backpack on his back.

"Ms. Kiana, right? There happen to be a few boxes of biscuits here. I don't think it's advisable but, you can use them to fill your stomach first." As he said that, Xiang Lai took out two transparent take-out boxes from his bag.

"This was originally a sample I prepared for the opening of the store... You can try it first if you suggest it." He said with a proud smile.

"Oh, is this the work you are going to open a store with? It looks good." Doctor Su slowly opened his narrowed eyes, "It looks like it will sell very well."

"This is..." However, when Kiana saw the object in the box, her mouth twitched subconsciously, as if she remembered something extraordinary. "It's really... rare, and the color combination is very novel."

He always puffed up his chest with pride: "Of course, this is a work of my confidence."

"This box of black cookies with blue fillings is filled with chocolate cookies and blueberry jam."

"This box of white cookies with pink fillings is filled with milk cookies and strawberries. Come and try them. In this sense, you can be considered my first customer."

"Huh..." Kiana breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that this was probably just a coincidence. Even if it was the captain who made the cookies, he wouldn't use any strange ingredients.

At the same time, her face feels red when she thinks back to that time.

But she was indeed hungry, so he picked up a black biscuit and put it in his mouth. The slight bitterness of the chocolate biscuit was cleverly neutralized by the not-so-sweet blueberry filling. The ratio of the two was just right.

"How is it? Does it taste good?" Looking at Kiana eating the cookies he made piece by piece, Xiang couldn't help but think proudly.

"It tastes really good." Kiana picked up another white milk sandwich biscuit and put it into her mouth, saying, "It's just that the appearance is a bit plain. It would be better if it could be made into a cute shape."

"Don't worry! I've already ordered the molds online." Xiang said as he took out his phone and approached Kiana, showing her his online order. "I plan to make a black pig and a white bird."

"It's cute, it will definitely sell well..."

"Pfft...cough, cough.."

"Did you choke?" Seeing the white-haired girl in front of him start to cough violently, Xiang Lai hurriedly handed her a glass of water.

"I'm fine." Not because of choking, but also because she had just drunk a bellyful of river water not long ago, Kiana very politely rejected the kindness.

"Is it a coincidence?" Looking at the two cookies in front of her, Kiana fell into deep thought. She glanced at Xiang Lai who looked innocent...

"By the way, here is one last batch of cookies. This is my proudest creation." Xiang Lai took out the last packing box from the bottom of his backpack.

"Could it be some weird food again?" Kiana thought so but was stunned when she saw what was in the takeaway box.

Inside that very plain translucent packaging box were several round chocolate sandwich cookies arranged very neatly.

Although there is a pattern on the surface of the biscuit that resembles a cat's paw pad, it still looks very ordinary overall.

"What is this?" Seeing Cookie like this, Kiana was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and the memories hidden deep in her mind immediately flooded into her heart.

"I call it Meow Meow Chocolate Cookies." He rubbed his nose a little embarrassedly, perhaps because the name he gave was too cute.

"This is my most proud work."

Kiana didn't say anything but almost trembled as she picked up a cookie, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

"What's this taste? It's caramel!" She felt the strong sweetness spreading in her mouth, instantly dispelling the bitter taste of river water that still remained in Kiana.

"Did you figure it out?" He smiled proudly, "That's right, when you feel tired, eat something high in sugar, and you will quickly regain your strength."

"But this matter... eh? how do I know this?" Before he could finish his words, he scratched his head in confusion.

he felt that in his vague impression, there was a very lively, cute, and beautiful figure who said similar words to him.

'Captain, you are still playing dumb with me.' Kiana couldn't help but retort in her heart, 'Not only did you copy my cookies, but you also copied my 'famous quotes'. Just wait and see how I deal with you later.'

Although she said this, the sweetness in her mouth made the white-haired girl couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth into a happy arc.

Through these three cookies, Kiana is now 100% sure that the person in front of her is the captain she has been thinking about day and night.

At the same time, she also confirmed one thing...

"Did he forget about me, right?" Kiana bit the biscuit in her mouth fiercely due to the dual influence of hunger and emotion.

At the same time, she stared at Xiang Lai, who was sitting beside the bed with an innocent look on her face, and said fiercely in her heart: 'When you remember me, I'll make you apologize to me!'

'Without a complete set of Homo comics and the latest Homo toys and a year's worth of snacks! you can't coax me! '

'As for before you recover your memory? Then I will reluctantly stay by your side and take care of your life, Captain.'

'After all, Captain, you are so weak, there will always be someone around to protect you.'

'Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll run away somewhere else when I'm not paying attention...' Two tears couldn't help but flow down from the corners of her eyes.

'long time no see...Captain'

......

"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch them from you." Seeing the person in front of him eating the cookies he made so deliciously, Xiang Lai felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

But looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, crying and laughing while eating the cookies he made, he always felt a little strange 'Are the cookies I made really so delicious?'

Looking at Kiana who was eating voraciously, Dr. Su, who had been busy for most of the night and was also tired and hungry, couldn't help but pick up a piece of biscuit and taste it.

"So sweet! How much sugar did you put in it?" As soon as Dr. Su took the first bite, he felt a greasy sweet feeling rushing up his throat.

It feels like someone is prying open your throat and pouring sugar into it like crazy, for free.

He looked at the bitten Meow Meow chocolate cookie in his hand in silence: "Although this cookie can't be said to be unpalatable, it definitely can't be said to be too delicious, right?"

Dr. Su is worried about the future prospects of opening new stores.
