Chapter 350 Look, this is how the cake is used

B&B, suite.

The sound insulation here is really good. You can't hear anything from the outside world, and the outside world can't hear anything from inside.

In the end, it was Cheng Zhu who went to the bathroom to take a shower.

He called the counselor several times, but she didn't respond. She just curled up under the quilt and covered her red face.

Her most genuine reaction at this moment can actually inspire a man's endless sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

After Cheng Zhu came out of the shower, he found that she had already put on her bathrobe. Then she quickly slipped into the bathroom with her head lowered without speaking to him.

?????

The hot water washed away the mud, and Chen Jieyu felt that she had been driven crazy by him again.

And the most important thing is - the long night.

This is just the first half.

When she walked out in her bathrobe, she saw Cheng Zhu standing at the table in the living room.

On the table, there is a small birthday cake.

The cake is very exquisite. It was bought from a well-known dessert shop in Hangzhou, and the price is not cheap.

"Where did the cake come from?" Chen Jieyu was slightly stunned.

Cheng Zhu glanced at her and saw that her cheeks were still slightly red. This was related to the hot bath she had just taken, but not entirely.

"I brought it over in the afternoon and asked the boss to help me freeze it. I just called him and asked him to bring it up." He replied.

As he pulled away the ribbon on the box, he said, "You still have to eat cake for your birthday."

The counselor looked at the exquisite cake on the table, which was in sharp contrast with the decorated cake he bought.

It is so exquisite, it seems to exist just for girls to take photos and post on their WeChat Moments. Even the packaging is extremely particular. The paper tray of the cake is dotted with pearl balls of different sizes.

The decorated cake in her bag and its pink plastic packaging gave off a full sense of cheapness.

Chen Jieyu took out a chair next to him and sat down next to him.

Cheng Zhu looked at her and asked in surprise: "Why don't you take out the cake in your bag?"

"Um?"

"Stop pretending, I saw it when you were taking something from your bag. No, you wouldn't be reluctant to give it to me, right?" Cheng Zhu was shocked.

"That's not what I meant." Chen Jieyu had no choice but to take out the small ancient decorated cake from her bag.

Put it next to the cake Cheng Zhumai made, the contrast is even stronger.

"It's quite impressive. How could you find such a retro style? I haven't had this in probably ten years. I don't know if it still tastes like it was when I was a kid." Cheng Zhu smiled and put it away. I brought it up and looked at it.

His performance made Chen Jieyu slightly relieved.

"Why did you think of buying this cake just to recall your childhood?" Cheng Zhu asked.

Little did he know that what he said was incorrect. He still underestimated Chen Jieyu's family situation.

She shook her head and said softly: "It's because I couldn't eat it when I was a kid, so now that I see it, I want to buy one."

This actually made him fall into silence.

He originally thought that in a patriarchal family like hers, it would be impossible to prepare elaborate birthday gifts for her. The only way to survive was to buy a cheap cake or a whole bowl of birthday noodles.

Therefore, he will prepare 27 gift boxes.

But I didn't expect, hey, they don't celebrate their daughter's birthday at all, they just ignore this day.

"I'm so damn conservative!" Cheng Zhu couldn't help but said in his heart.

But if you think about it carefully, although the retro trend has always been there, given Chen Jieyu's character, she probably wouldn't have found this kind of ancient decorated cake interesting and bought it without any special reason.

Chen Jieyu looked at him and said, "Am I being a bit pretentious?"

"There are no people in this world who are completely unpretentious." After Cheng Zhu replied, he immediately changed the subject and suggested: "Then I'll take this from you first. I really miss the taste of my childhood."

Chen Jieyu nodded and opened the transparent lid.

"Why don't you light a candle and make a wish?" he asked.

Chen Jieyu shook her head.

It's not her birthday, so this was originally bought for the little girl from the past. As for the wish, she had closed her eyes and clasped her hands together when she was a child, secretly made a wish in her heart, and blew "candles" into the air.

The cake Cheng Zhu bought belonged to 27-year-old Chen Jieyu.

Holding a fork, Cheng Zhu took a bite of the decorated cake and felt the difference in the texture of the cream.

"When I was a kid, I thought it tasted delicious!" He said in his heart.

But people are like this, and the threshold will become higher and higher.

When I was a kid, I felt that just drinking a bottle of soda made me happy. The snacks that cost 50 cents a pack at the school gate were the delicacies of the world.

But as you eat more and more things, have more and more experiences, and see more and more of the world, your happiness threshold will become higher and higher.

The most hateful thing is that many people were "prophet" when they were young.

When you were a child, you wanted to eat instant noodles every day, but now you finally realize it.

When you were a child, you thought computers were the most fun and wanted to sit in front of them every day. Now you can do it at work.

When you were a child, you hoped to have one hundred yuan every day. Now your monthly salary is three thousand yuan.

Damn it, no wonder I have to be happy!

The small decorated cake was eaten by Cheng Zhu's big mouth in a few seconds, and Chen Jieyu only took two bites.

But looking at his Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, a slight smile appeared on her face, a little less serious and a little more agile than before.

It was as if the young Chen Jieyu from many years ago appeared in her life in an unreasonable way after entertaining him for many years.

"Is it so delicious?" She was a little confused.

"To be honest, the cream tastes just average, but it just makes me miss it a bit," Cheng Zhu said.

In his memory, Holiland seemed to have launched a similar retro model in a few years, but the materials used were definitely different from those used more than ten years ago.

It does not taste that good, but it is still a memory for generations.

"So, now it's time to make a wish and blow out the candles." Cheng Zhu said.

After putting candles on the cake he bought, he didn't rush to light it, but connected it to the Bluetooth speaker in the B&B room.

"Wait a minute, I'll play a birthday song for you." He connected the speaker and said, "I will definitely sing a few lines for you, but I'm singing a cappella here alone, and I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed, haha! "

After the candles were lit, Cheng Zhu turned off the lights in the B&B. The birthday song was still played on the Bluetooth speaker, and it was the most common version, not the Haidilao version.

Chen Jieyu originally thought that she would be very uncomfortable with this kind of link, or even reject it. But when the lights dimmed, there were only a few candles in the room, and Cheng Zhu's singing mixed with the speakers, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

For some reason, her nose felt a little sore, so she decisively closed her eyes.

When Chinese people make a wish, they always like to make a big wish.

Things like getting rich are difficult.

In fact, even the four words "good health" are not that easy.

Chen Jieyu has understood a truth since she was a child, that is, the world will always make things go against your wishes.

Therefore, she never makes any big wishes, or in other words, very broad wishes.

Rather than saying that she is making a wish now, it is better to say that she is making a promise for the next thing:

"I hope I can celebrate my birthday with Cheng Zhu next year."

She didn't even promise it every year.

It's just next year, that's all.

Because of this wish, I can make it again next year.

Promise once a year.

In the living room of the B&B, Chen Jieyu blew out the candles burning on the cake.

Cheng Zhu, who was standing next to the switch, turned on the light with a snap.

He turned off the Bluetooth speaker with his mobile phone and asked with a smile: "What wish did you make?"

"Don't you know that wishes cannot be expressed?" Chen Jieyu asked.

"I didn't expect you, a university worker, to be so superstitious!" Cheng Zhu took out the tray and cutlery from the bag and handed it to her.

The counselor took the knife and fork and looked at the cake, a little confused as to what to do.

"It's just the two of us, we can't finish it," she said.

"Eat it first, and we'll talk about the rest later." Cheng Zhu replied, "I've tried my best to buy the smallest one. In fact, if this style is made larger, it will look better."

Finally, Chen Jieyu cut a small piece for herself, and then cut a large piece for Cheng Zhu.
