So does Alix like Hou Lin? Is that why her expectations are based off of him?
"Ahhhh!"
Jin collapsed on the chair, his heart burning with envy.
"I can also make good coffees…" he saltily murmured.
He looked at Ailun with a second tinge of envy. "Aren't you enjoying your classes with Alix?"
Ailun beamed. "A lot! Pastry aunt is very strict but she is super cool."
Grievances overwhelmed his heart and his head dropped on the table again. "I want to be there too…"
He pouted. "So why is Uncle not there too? How will pastry aunt like you if she don't see you?"
Jin lifted him and hugged him hard. "Because right now, it's more important for her to like our family and also know that everybody here likes her too. I cannot interfere in that. Plus, she doesn't want to see me…" he whispered the last point to himself.
He tilted his head. "But everybody likes pastry aunt already."
Ah how I wish I could tell you the truth…
He smiled. "Yes everybody likes her but she doesn't know that yet."
