Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Pretend I Didn’t Say Anything Just Now Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Pretend I Didn’t Say Anything Just Now “How is it? Tasty?” Shen Zhaozhao eagerly watched him. As he put a small piece of cake into his mouth, she couldn’t wait and blurted out.
Sheng Chuyi narrowed his eyes and said softly, “It’s okay!”
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhaozhao instantly laughed, “If you say it’s okay, then it must be fine! Hahaha, I knew I had talent. Wait until your next birthday, I’ll make one by hand for you too. Don’t worry, it will definitely be better than this time!”
Sheng Chuyi, upon hearing this, looked a bit better, thinking that at least this girl had some conscience.
However, after saying that, Shen Zhaozhao quickly remembered: Isn’t his birthday the same as her own?
Does that mean she’d have to eat her own cake on her birthday?
So she decisively changed her statement, “Pretend I didn’t say anything just now.”
The smile that was just beginning to form on his lips suddenly flattened, and he looked up at Shen Zhaozhao with an indistinctly dark expression.
Shen Zhaozhao explained, “It’s not that I don’t want to make it for you, I just feel the cake I make definitely won’t taste as good as the ones from the cake shop.”
If you can eat something better, there’s no need to settle for less.
Shen Zhaozhao: “When the time comes, I’ll personally go to the cake shop and pick out the biggest and prettiest one for you.”
Sheng Chuyi: “No need, I don’t like cake!” After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
Shen Zhaozhao watched his retreating figure, blinking her eyes. Didn’t he just say he wanted to challenge himself?
Why did he change his face faster than flipping a book?
That evening, Shen Zhaozhao, carrying the fruits of her labor from a busy day, returned to the villa and immediately put the cake into the refrigerator as she entered the door.
When she turned around to speak with Sheng Chuyi, she found he had silently retreated to his room already.
Could he still be mad at her?
It’s just a cake, it shouldn’t warrant this reaction!
How is it that she’s finding this guy to be more and more temperamental?
The next day, Shen Zhaozhao took the cake to meet with Ye Zhen.
“Happy Birthday!” Shen Zhaozhao said with a smile as she saw her.
Ye Zhen: “Thank you!”
“Here, this is for you.” Shen Zhaozhao handed the cake she was holding to her.
Ye Zhen was momentarily stunned when she saw the cake being handed over. She was about to remind her that she was allergic to cream, but then she heard Shen Zhaozhao explain, “This is the birthday cake I prepared for you. I made it by hand; you can rest assured, there’s no cream in it. I specifically used thick coconut milk instead. Doesn’t it look a lot like cream? I was afraid I wouldn’t make it in time today, so I made it ahead of time yesterday. But don’t worry, I kept it in the fridge, it shouldn’t affect the taste too much. It’s my first time making it, so it might not look great. Please don’t mind that!”
“Not at all, thank you!”
This was the first time Ye Zhen had someone make a cake especially for her, and it was from someone she hadn’t known for long.
Looking at the cake in her hand, Ye Zhen felt a complex mix of emotions.
“No worries, we are friends after all!” Shen Zhaozhao said cheerfully.
“You’re right, we are friends!” Ye Zhen suddenly laughed.
After speaking, she unwrapped the cake in front of Shen Zhaozhao. The four-inch cake, having been refrigerated overnight, didn’t taste as fresh as it would have on the day it was made.
Still, the two of them shared it and finished it all up!
“It’s really good, thank you!”
“I’m glad you liked it!” Shen Zhaozhao was very pleased.
It turns out it’s such a joy to have one’s own creation enjoyed by someone else.
