Chapter 298 Emergency! Tao Yao's true identity is about to be exposed?
At the top of the tower, Tao Yao stood quietly in front of the window, looking into the distance.
Soon, three familiar figures appeared in the field of vision. Tao Yao's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.
As soon as Feiying, Jasmine and Hualei stepped into the tower, they heard a gentle and pleasant voice coming from above.
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear friends. Welcome back safely."
Taoyao's voice is as clear and moving as the morning dewdrops:
"I have carefully prepared a sumptuous breakfast for you all. I'm sure you must be starving, right?"
After hearing Tao Yao's words, the three girls reacted differently.
Feiying and Hualei, the two little foodies, were suddenly excited, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in their eyes.
Jasmine remained as calm as ever, but there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
"Great! I'm starving!"
Feiying couldn't wait to say it, with a bright smile on her face.
Hualei also jumped up excitedly, clapping her hands and cheering:
"My dear sister, that's great! I was just thinking about what to eat!"
Although Jasmine did not act so exaggerated, she nodded slightly and said softly:
"I am indeed a little hungry. Thank you for your kindness, dear sister."
Tao Yao smiled and gestured for the three to follow.
"Then come with me, and let us have this long-awaited breakfast together."
Feiying, Jasmine and Hualei followed Taoyao closely, walked through several corridors, and came to a spacious and bright restaurant on the residential floor of the tower.
The restaurant's decoration is simple yet elegant. The large floor-to-ceiling windows allow sunlight to fill the entire space, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.
The table was filled with a variety of delicious food, the aroma was so fragrant that it whetted one's appetite.
There are golden and crispy fried chicken legs, steaming steamed dumplings, milky cakes, and a variety of fresh fruit and vegetable salads.
Tao Yao sat down gracefully and introduced the three people with a smile:
"Our food synthesis factory in the tower has made a new breakthrough recently."
"These foods not only look and taste the same as real food, but also have a more balanced nutritional content that fully meets the needs of the human body."
After hearing the introduction, Feiying could no longer hold back and reached out to grab a synthetic chicken leg that looked particularly tempting.
However, before her hand touched the food, Jasmine beside her patted her gently.
"handwashing!"
Jasmine said seriously, with an unquestionable firmness in her eyes.
Feiying was startled by this sudden obstruction, then showed an aggrieved expression and stuck out her tongue at Jasmine.
"I know, I know. Jasmine is really so strict."
She muttered and reluctantly got up to wash her hands.
When Hualei saw this scene, she couldn't help but giggle.
"Feiying, you look like a little kid who's being disciplined!"
Feiying turned around and glared at Hualei in pretend anger.
Tao Yao looked at this heartwarming scene and the smile on her face became softer.
She said softly, "Okay, everyone go wash your hands. We will enjoy this delicious dinner together later."
The three girls obediently went to the bathroom to wash their hands and soon returned to the dining table.
Feiying couldn't wait to pick up a chicken leg and took a big bite.
"Mmm! It's so delicious!"
Feiying narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, "This chicken drumstick is so fragrant! I can't taste it's synthetic at all!"
Hua Lei also picked up a steamed dumpling and took a careful bite.
"Wow! This dumpling is super delicious! Thin skin, big filling, rich juice, perfect!"
Even the usually calm Jasmine couldn't help but exclaim after taking a bite of the salad:
“It’s really delicious, and you can feel the freshness and nutrition of the ingredients.”
Tao Yao looked at the three people enjoying the food and a gratified smile appeared on her face.
"I'm glad you like it."
……
This time for dinner.
at the very beginning.
Feiying wolfed down the delicious food, and every bite made her feel extremely satisfied.
However, as time went on, a strange feeling began to sprout in her heart.
At first, she just thought the food was exceptionally delicious and inexplicably familiar.
But gradually, she noticed something strange.
This taste...
Feiying slowed down her eating pace and savored the food in her mouth carefully.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and a vague idea emerged in her mind.
"So familiar..."
She murmured to herself, her voice so low that only she could hear it.
Feiying tasted a few more different dishes, and the familiar feeling became stronger.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind like lightning, causing her eyes to widen instantly.
You can’t go wrong!
This is Taoyao’s cooking skills!
Only Taoyao can make such a taste!
This realization made Feiying shudder all over.
She recalled the time she had spent with Taoyao.
Those beautiful memories are always accompanied by the delicious food cooked by Taoyao herself.
That unique taste, that perfect seasoning, that lingering aroma.
All of this is perfectly recreated in the food before your eyes.
Feiying stood up suddenly, and the chair slid back a distance due to her sudden movement.
She stared at the puppet in front of her, her eyes full of questioning and confusion.
"Sister Love!"
Feiying's voice was slightly trembling.
"Are you related to Taoyao? Why does the food you cook have the taste of Taoyao?"
As soon as this question was asked, the whole restaurant fell silent.
Jasmine and Hualei both stopped what they were doing and looked at Feiying in surprise.
Feiying never doubts her intuition.
She could feel Tao Yao's scent from the food in front of her, which made her almost subconsciously suspicious.
The puppet in front of me must have some connection with Taoyao!
"Feiying!" Jasmine's stern voice broke the silence.
She frowned, with obvious reproach in her tone.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Qing is a puppet of the Mechanical City, and Taoyao has been missing for a long time since she was taken away by Zhongmo."
"How could she be related to Taoyao?"
Jasmine's words were full of reason and calmness, but this did not shake Feiying's thoughts.
On the contrary, Feiying became more determined in her judgment.
"No, Jasmine, listen to me!"
Feiying explained eagerly,
“I know it sounds ridiculous, but I really taste the flavor of Taoyao from these foods.”
"That unique taste and perfect seasoning are what only Taoyao can achieve!"
Hualei looked at the two of them in confusion and asked in a low voice:
"Sister Feiying, are you saying that Sister Qing might be Sister Taoyao?"
"I have no idea……"
Feiying shook her head:
"But I am sure that there must be some connection between Qingjie and Taoyao."
"Otherwise, why would the dishes she cooked be so similar to Taoyao's?"
Jasmine took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.
"Feiying, don't you think you are too emotional?"
“We all know that you miss Taoyao very much, but that doesn’t mean you can associate her with love.”
"I'm not sentimental!"
Feiying insisted, "Moli, try it too. Don't you find how special the taste of these foods is?"
Jasmine hesitated for a moment and took another bite of the dish in front of her.
She had to admit, the food was surprisingly delicious.
But she remained skeptical.
“Even if the taste is similar, it doesn’t prove anything…”
Jasmine said, "Maybe Qing's cooking skills just happen to be similar to Taoyao's?"
Feiying shook her head. "No, it's not just similar. This is the taste of Taoyao. I guarantee it with my life!"
The doll remained silent, watching the argument in front of him.
Her expression didn't change at all, as if all this had nothing to do with her.
Hualei spoke carefully, "Then...why don't we just ask Sister Qing?"
Feiying and Jasmine looked at Hualei at the same time, and then turned their gaze to the doll love.
"Sister Dear..."
Feiying took a deep breath and looked directly into the eyes of the doll:
"Please tell us, do you really have nothing to do with Taoyao?"
The puppet was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"Feiying, your senses are very sharp."
"This body does have some connection with the Taoyao you mentioned, but it may not be what you think."
This answer neither denied nor acknowledged the situation, but instead made the whole situation even more confusing.
Feiying felt excited.
"So what is your relationship with Taoyao?!"
Jasmine frowned.
"Qing, what do you mean?"
"If you know something, why don't you just tell us?"
The puppet shook his head slightly:
“Everything has its time.”
"The connection between Taoyao and me is not as special as you think."
This answer did not satisfy Feiying's curiosity, but instead made her more certain of her guess.
"Even so, I want to know!"
"If you are really related to Taoyao, it is very important to me!"
Jasmine heard what the puppet Qing said and sighed, "Feiying, Qing probably doesn't want to say it. If that's the case, we shouldn't force it."
"But……"
Feiying wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Jasmine.
Looking at the silly Feiying in front of me.
Jasmine took a deep breath, she reached out and gently placed her hand on Feiying's shoulder, trying to calm this always impulsive fire fairy down.
"Feiying, I know you really miss Taoyao."
Jasmine's voice was soft:
"We are all worried about her."
"However, it would be too hasty to conclude that Sister Qing and Tao Yao are related just because the dishes taste similar."
She glanced at the exquisite food on the table and continued:
"Cooking skills can be learned and imitated. Maybe it's some kind of coincidence, or maybe Sister Qing just happened to master a cooking method similar to Taoyao's."
"After all, there are too many similar things in this world, aren't there?"
Jasmine's tone became gentler:
"We can't project our shadow onto everyone who is somewhat similar to her just because we miss her."
"This is unfair to ourselves, and even more offensive to my sister."
As Feiying listened to Jasmine's words, the fire in her eyes gradually subsided.
She looked down at her plate, her emotions visibly calming down.
