Because I'm a Beet

Good evening, dear passengers. Thank you for visiting. Our operating hours will soon come to an end. Please take your belongings with you...

The overhead broadcast was reminding the guests that it was time to leave.

The staff also began to remind the guests, and the various amusement rides gradually came to a halt.

A staff member noticed a woman standing outside the 10-Inversion Roller Coaster.

The woman had a graceful and curvaceous figure; even just looking at her back, one could tell she was beautiful.

However, due to his duties, he walked up to her.

Miss, the park is closing. You...

Before he could finish, he heard the woman muttering to herself.

Why didn't it collapse? What altered the power?

Hearing this, he wondered if the woman was crazy. He immediately picked up his walkie-talkie to notify his female colleagues nearby to come and escort her away.

After all, as a man, it wasn't appropriate for him to push or pull her.

But the woman seemed to snap back to reality. She turned her head to look at the staff member.

It was then that the staff member realized the woman was of mixed race.

A cool pair of sunglasses rested on her high nose bridge.

He just didn't know if the eyes hidden behind the sunglasses were blue or brown.

I'm sorry, I'll leave right now.

With that, she started walking toward the exit.

The staff member breathed a sigh of relief. After all, getting physical with a guest was a very troublesome matter.

He kept his eyes on the woman until she left the amusement park, finally relaxing completely.

However, he turned his head to look at the 10-Inversion Roller Coaster behind him and muttered curiously, Will it collapse?

--System: I want you to help me break the cauldron--

At half-past seven, the night was growing darker.

Leaving the hustle and bustle of the Changlong Amusement Park far behind, Lin Mo and Chu Miaomiao finally returned home.

Click.

The door lock clicked softly, and the aroma of food mixed with the cool air of the air conditioner rushed to greet them.

You're back?

Chu Lintian's voice, cold yet carrying a trace of domestic warmth, came from the kitchen, accompanied by the sizzling sound of stir-frying.

Yeah! We're back!

Her voice arrived before she did. The joyful lilt at the end of Chu Miaomiao's sentence almost floated to the ceiling. She kicked off her shoes and rushed toward the kitchen like a happy little bird.

Lin Mo followed behind, closing the door with a calm expression, and walked into the kitchen with familiar ease.

He pulled open the refrigerator door with one hand and placed the exquisite Black Forest cake he was holding inside.

Tossing the food in the wok, Chu Lintian caught a glimpse of the cake box from the corner of her eye and paused her movements.

Ah, I had my secretary buy one too.

Eat mine, Lin Mo said in a flat tone, yet it carried an unquestionable certainty. I made this one myself.

You?

Chu Lintian was genuinely surprised now. She stopped what she was doing and turned her head to carefully look at Lin Mo.

This boy didn't look like someone who would hole up in a kitchen messing around with cream and flour.

But then, remembering that Lin Mo also knew how to cook, it didn't seem quite so surprising after all.

She couldn't help but ask, So, is there anything you don't know how to do?

I don't know how to give birth.

Before Chu Lintian could react, Lin Mo changed the subject.

I could have made the one for your birthday too, if Miaomiao hadn't insisted on personally giving you a surprise.

These words thoroughly piqued Chu Lintian's curiosity.

Lin Mo reached out and opened another compartment of the fridge. Sure enough, there lay a larger chocolate cake. Its packaging was gorgeous, and it looked quite expensive.

Without a word, he took that cake out directly.

He unwrapped it and cut off a large slice. His movements were smooth and flowing, without the slightest hesitation or politeness.

He put it into his mouth, chewed slowly a couple of times, and then his eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

This shop is no good. Have your secretary change to a different one next time.

Chu Lintian was amused by his food-critic-like review. Is it that bad?

Yeah.

Lin Mo nodded. Then, under the watchful eyes of Chu Lintian and Chu Miaomiao, who had just leaned in, he quickly devoured the entire cake he had just deemed "not good," acting on the principle of not wasting food.

When he finished, he even pulled a tissue to wipe his mouth.

Looking at the empty cake box, Chu Lintian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her anticipation for the cake Lin Mo had made himself grew even stronger.

Soon, the dishes were served on the table.

A full spread of eight dishes, a mix of meat and vegetables, complete with excellent color, aroma, and taste.

At the dining table, Chu Lintian looked at the two people opposite her who were eating heartily and finally spoke up.

Chu Lintian asked at the table, How was your trip to the amusement park today?

It was fun! Chu Miaomiao, with a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs stuffed in her mouth, nodded vigorously while mumbling. Only after swallowing did she start gesturing excitedly. I went on the 10-Inversion Roller Coaster twice and the Vertical Roller Coaster three times! It was so thrilling!

Yeah, you have no idea how loud she screamed.

Looking at her niece's flushed face from excitement, Chu Lintian's eyes softened, though a fleeting trace of imperceptible guilt flashed through them.

I'm sorry, Miaomiao. I've been too busy. Come to think of it, the last time I took you was when you were very little.

It's fine!

Chu Miaomiao picked up some green vegetables with her chopsticks and shook her head carelessly. Lin Mo accompanied me today, and we went through all the thrilling rides. I've had my fill of fun! I feel like I won't ever need to think about amusement parks again.

This single sentence made Chu Lintian's feelings a bit complicated.

She looked at Lin Mo, but the other party acted as if nothing had happened, focusing entirely on devouring the food on the table, as if his only mission today was to fill his stomach.

Just then, having finished his last bite of rice, Lin Mo put down his bowl and chopsticks and suddenly spoke.

What about Dinini Land?

He raised his eyes to look at Chu Miaomiao and casually interjected.

Don't you want to go check it out?

The noisy dining table instantly fell silent.

Chu Miaomiao completely froze. The chopsticks in her hand hung in mid-air, and she stared at Lin Mo without blinking.

A few seconds later, a startlingly bright light burst forth from the young girl's eyes.

Go!

I want to go!

I want to go! I want to go! I want to go!

Then you'll have to wait until next time. Today's quota is almost used up.

Lin Mo rejected the young girl's sparkling eyes.

After all, as a master of balancing things, he had to keep things level no matter what, and today had already been quite excessive.

Following that, Lin Mo's Black Forest cake made its appearance.

After lighting the candles and making a wish, the young girl blew them out.

Chu Lintian couldn't help but ask, What wish did you make?

I can't say. If I say it out loud, it won't come true.

The young girl's rosy cheeks made Lin Mo feel that she must have made a very sweet wish.

However, he still felt that his cake was sweeter.

Chu Miaomiao cut the cake, first giving a piece to Chu Lintian, and then to Lin Mo.

However, Lin Mo's piece was slightly larger.

Chu Lintian took a bite and couldn't help but narrow her eyes in delight.

How is the taste and texture of your cake even better than any I've ever had?

Hearing this, Chu Miaomiao couldn't wait to cut a piece for herself.

Because I'm a sweet genius!
