Chapter 70 Did he go there?

The cake was so badly broken that it was a messy, sticky pile of bits of food.

However, because the two gift boxes were made of sturdy materials, they were quite shockproof, and the porcelain inside was not damaged.

However, when Shen Li squatted there examining the porcelain in the two boxes...

The two gift boxes were open, and their contents were clearly visible.

Lu Yanchuan squatted down beside her. "Is it broken?"

"No, thankfully it's not broken." Shen Li's voice was filled with relief, but she quickly stopped talking.

Her fingers, which were holding the 'Mountain Eagle' gift box, paused for a moment, and she gently bit her lip.

There was nothing to hide, so Lu Yanchuan must have seen everything.

And thinking about it carefully, Shen Li doesn't know what she has to hide; she hasn't done anything wrong.

So instead of hiding it, they actually took out the 'Mountain Eagle' and examined it carefully right under Lu Yanchuan's nose.

Shen Li had expected Lu Yanchuan to ask about the origins of the 'Mountain Eagle,' and had already prepared her answer.

After a moment's pause, Lu Yanchuan, though already guessing, still asked, "You knew Master Zhong before, didn't you?"

Otherwise, I wouldn't have rushed to push him into the green belt just now. If I didn't know him, there would be no need to hide.

Shen Li looked up at him, said nothing, and carefully placed the 'Mountain Eagle' into the gift box.

Then he spoke, "He is my master, the one who guided me into pottery."

“Then why…” Lu Yanchuan thought of her previous hiding.

Shen Li knew he was referring to her hiding earlier.

"Because I failed his expectations," Shen Li said.

Before Lu Yanchuan could ask what the 'betrayal' in those words meant, Shen Li's gaze was calm yet firm as she said, "But it won't happen again."

I don't know when, but the rain had stopped.

Shen Li packed the gift box and picked it up.

She didn't even leave out the cake that was completely shattered in the box; she picked it up too. "Shall we go?"

Lu Yanchuan looked at the mess in the cake box with some disdain, "Let's just leave this one."

"Why not?" Shen Li felt that the cake could still be salvaged. "This is the first time in so many years that I have received a birthday cake today."

Lu Yanchuan casually remarked, "It's not the first time, is it? We had cake today..."

Lu Yanchuan seemed to suddenly realize what he had said, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Shen Li was also stunned, and she turned to look at Lu Yanchuan.

What did he mean by that?

“You today…” Shen Li blinked.

Thinking about this cake, its design is strangely similar to the cake she made herself today and took to the cemetery.

And then there was what Lu Yanchuan said when he brought the gifts and cake to the Shen family: 'These are for Lili. It's not a day worth celebrating, but we'll still celebrate a little.'

Shen Li felt something was off at the time, but didn't think much of it.

But now it seems he already knew that today was not only her lunar birthday, but also the anniversary of her mother's death.

Not only that...

"...Lu Yanchuan, did you go to my mother's grave?" Shen Li looked into his eyes.

But Lu Yanchuan simply quickened his pace and walked ahead without answering.

Shen Li saw the man walking ahead, very familiar with the place, and stop in front of her studio.

Shen Li: "..."

It's clear how ridiculous her idea of ​​getting out of the car at the park entrance, not wanting him to know where her studio was, was.

This man already knew everything.

That's true, that's just how Lu Yanchuan is. Unless he doesn't want to know or isn't interested, his controlling personality means he'll definitely want to have control over everything.

"Open the door, open the door." Lu Yanchuan stood at the studio door with his hands in his trouser pockets, urging in a low voice.

Looking at his back, Shen Li found it inexplicably funny.

I went up and opened the studio door.

"Come in." Shen Li led him inside.

Upon entering, Shen Li went straight to deal with the birthday cake.

She found a box, poured the broken cake pieces into it, opened a can of unsweetened thick yogurt, and then opened a pack of Oreos. She scraped off the filling from the cookies with a spoon and put them in her mouth.

She licked her lips and scraped off the filling of another cookie.

Lu Yanchuan watched with great interest from the side, and Shen Li casually handed Lu Yanchuan the spoon from which the cookie filling had been scraped off.

It wasn't until the man's thin lips parted slightly and he took the spoon in his mouth that Shen Li suddenly realized that she had just licked that spoon.

"..." Shen Li blinked, and could only pretend to be nonchalant and continue with her next actions.

After scraping off the filling from the cookies, put them in a bag along with two small packets of mixed nuts and crush them into small pieces.

Then, pour it into the cake bowl along with the unsweetened thick yogurt, and mix the cake, yogurt, cookie crumbs, and chopped nuts together.

Then put the lid on and put it in the freezer.

"This is the reception room. Please have a seat for a while. I'll go wash up and change," Shen Li said to Lu Yanchuan before heading upstairs.

However, Lu Yanchuan did not sit down in the reception room, but instead followed her upstairs.

"Let me take a look at where you live," Lu Yanchuan said.

I'm not entirely at ease, regardless of whether it's a villa or a luxury sea-view apartment on Danzhou Road, the living environment is excellent.

If Shen Li were staying in a hotel, that would be fine.

Who knows what the living conditions are like in these studios in the park?

Therefore, Lu Yanchuan wanted to take a look.

Seeing his approach, Shen Li remained silent for a few seconds, as if she understood his intention.

Then he led him upstairs.

Once inside the room, she ignored him and went into the bathroom to change her clothes.

There's no need to be sentimental about it; she and Lu Yanchuan have been living under the same roof for quite some time now.

Five whole years.

So Shen Li had long been used to doing what she was supposed to do.

Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Lu Yanchuan glanced around the room.

It wasn't exactly shabby, but it wasn't luxurious either. It was just average, and in Mr. Lu's eyes, it was only barely habitable.

Lu Yanchuan walked around the room and saw some drawings on the table, which should all have been drawn by Shen Li, ceramic design drawings.

He couldn't understand it, so he stopped looking at it.

However, something else caught Lu Yanchuan's attention.

It was a box of plasters, Zepus-Flurbiprofen Gel Plaster, with the following indications listed: osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder, tendonitis and tenosynovitis, peritendinitis, lateral epicondylitis of the humerus, muscle pain, swelling and pain caused by trauma.

In short, it's a pain-relieving plaster.

Lu Yanchuan stared at it for a moment, then suddenly remembered that she was preparing for the national team selection back then.

Lu Yanchuan took out his phone and scrolled through it for a while before finding Duan Chen's WeChat.

After graduation, we went our separate ways, and I hadn't seen Duan Chen for a long time.

Lu Yanchuan moved his fingers and sent a WeChat message.

【Chenzi, I have a question for you.】
