Gu Jin hesitated for a long moment before nodding. "Yes… It looks very unique. I'm sure it tastes delicious."
For the first time that evening, Gu Jichun's cheeks turned red. She scratched her head and muttered, "Well… actually… You can't eat it."
The room went quiet again.
"…Why?" Gu Jin asked, clearly curious.
Gu Jichun bit her lip. "Because… instead of sugar, I accidentally used salt."
There was another pause before loud laughter broke out in the room.
The loudest were Gu Jihu and Gu Jishi, who were laughing so hard they leaned against each other for support.
Gu Jichun's face turned bright red. "Stop laughing at me!" she yelled, running over to smack them both on the arm.
"You two are worse than anyone I know! Laughing at your sister in front of everyone!"
Gu Jihu grinned and shrugged. "It's not our fault you cooked a salt cake."
Gu Jishi smirked. "Honestly, you have no reputation to protect in the first place."
"Excuse me?" Gu Jichun's eyes went wide.
