"Mm, okay," Yao Yaya said, "Xiaxia, I can’t talk to you anymore, my phone’s almost dead, and I can’t charge it here in the mountains. I’ll contact you later."
Sang Xiaxia was startled, "You’re a little girl, what are you doing in the mountains? What if you encounter danger? Don’t you care about your life?"
"It’s fine," Yao Yaya said, "I’m with friends, you don’t have to worry about me."
Sang Xiaxia thought she was with the private detective she hired, so she didn’t say anything more, reminded her to stay safe, and hung up the phone.
Yao Yaya took the phone away from her ear and sighed as she held it.
"Auntie, here’s a power bank for you!" Xiao Shumiao came running over and handed her a SpongeBob-shaped power bank.
Yao Yaya was taken aback for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiao Shumiao."
Xiao Shumiao was very happy, "You’re welcome!"
Yao Yaya charged her phone and looked at Ye Xingbei, "Your son is really cute."
"You don’t need to be so formal," Ye Xingbei said, "Just call me Beibei."
"Okay," Yao Yaya smiled and called her, "Beibei!"
She glanced at Xiao Shumiao with a smile, "Beibei, Xiao Shumiao is really cute, you look so young, you... you all..."
She suspected that Xiao Shumiao wasn’t Ye Xingbei’s biological son, but didn’t know how to ask.
"Not that young," Ye Xingbei said, "I’m 21 this year."
"21 is very young," Yao Yaya said, "I’m older than you, I’m 23 and graduated from college. If my dad hadn’t fallen ill, I would be working by now."
"You graduated from college? I thought you were still in school!" Ye Xingbei asked, "What was your major?"
"I studied design," Yao Yaya said, "but my kind of design is a bit special. In design, most people do fashion design, jewelry design, architecture design, things like that. I studied a more niche field, food design."
"Food design?" As soon as he heard the word ’food’, Xiao Shumiao perked up, "Auntie, what is food design?"
"It’s about creating food styling for things like bread and desserts," Yao Yaya said, "For example, there’s a particularly famous food company whose mooncakes every year are so beautiful. People say they can’t bring themselves to eat them and want to put them in a glass case as art. That’s what a food designer does, designing for the mooncakes."
"Wow, so that’s how it is!" Xiao Shumiao said excitedly, "I’ve eaten beautiful mooncakes too. The ones I had were rabbit-shaped and moon-shaped, arranged in the box, really, really pretty."
"Yes," Yao Yaya said with a smile at him, "This year, the rabbit-shaped mooncakes I designed were used by a very famous company and sold well. I wonder if the ones you ate were designed by Auntie?"
"Rabbit mooncakes... I remember now!" Xiao Shumiao recalled something, retrieved a phone from Ye Xingbei’s pocket, quickly tapped a few times, found the photo he wanted, and ran to Yao Yaya to show her, "Auntie, look, is this the mooncake?"
In the photo, Xiao Shumiao was beaming with a sunny smile, holding a cute rabbit-shaped mooncake in his fair palm.
Yao Yaya recognized it at a glance, "Yes, that’s the one Auntie designed!"
"Wow, Auntie, you’re amazing!" Xiao Shumiao was thrilled, "Auntie, we have such a special connection!"
