A story of mutual crushes and reuniting after a long separation, mainly set on campus. It's a sweet romance.
Su Xun falls in love with a boy, only to discover that the boy likes her too.<...
After finishing their business in Huaicheng, the two returned to S City.
"I had the place cleaned before I came, and now it's ready for me to move in."
Pei Ke pushed their luggage in.
His old apartment was fine for him alone, but now it was a bit crowded with two people, so he bought a new one. A new housing development opened in the east of the city last year, and he bought a large flat, renovated it, and now he can move in.
After settling in, it was already past four in the afternoon. The setting sun shone on the French windows, creating a tranquil and beautiful scene, with a soft halo of light spilling onto the floor.
"How about we do something interesting?"
Su Xun slumped on the sofa and nudged the person next to him with his elbow.
Ever since Su Xun's astonishing act at the wedding a few days ago, Pei Ke has felt uneasy reflexively whenever she hears her mention "interesting things".
He glanced at the small group beside him, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"What have you thought of this time?"
"What kind of look is that? I wanted to make a cake with you." Su Xun patted the man's shoulder. "Didn't we miss out on cake at the wedding banquet last time? I wanted to make up for it."
His tone was absolutely sincere.
"It's possible, but I've never tried it before."
"I'll do it, I've learned it."
The two went out for a meal and then went to the supermarket to buy a lot of ingredients and molds for making cakes.
It was exactly six o'clock when we returned, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretched our shadows as we walked side by side.
The kitchen was fully equipped with various appliances, none of which had been used. Su Xun checked them over and then started beating the eggs.
Su Xun skillfully separated the egg whites and yolks, whisked the egg whites, and mixed them into the flour. Pei Ke wanted to help, but didn't know where to start, so he stood at the door watching her work.
After tonight, he's going to go online to learn how to make desserts.
He secretly made his plans.
"When did you learn to do these things?" His gaze followed Su Xun's movements.
"Back in my freshman year."
“I don’t remember.” He frowned.
"You still have the nerve to ask? Back then, you pretended not to know me, so I thought I'd find a reason to contact you. That's why I went to a baking shop to learn how to make cakes. The first cake I ever made was for you, but you actually refused to accept it."
Pei Ke recalled that there seemed to be such an incident. At the time, he didn't know how to deal with Su Xun's sudden appearance, so he did refuse the things she brought.
A picture suddenly flashed through my mind.
The scene of Xiang Yang and the other guys in the dorm dividing up the cake suddenly came to mind.
His expression suddenly turned very bad.
"By the way, Xiang Yang helped me take that cake later, you should know that, right?" Su Xun put the baking tray into the oven, then suddenly turned around and met Pei Ke's gaze.
"Of course, I ate some too." He felt a little guilty and touched his nose.
"But you were really infuriating back then."
Pei Ke didn't want to bring up that time again, so he quickly turned his attention to the items on the counter.
"There's some flour left. What are you going to do with it?"
Su Xun glanced at the flour; there was very little left, and it wouldn't be appropriate to use it again next time.
"How about we use this flour to bake some cookies? They'll be perfect for the people upstairs and downstairs."
"I'll go look up a tutorial, and I'll bake it later."
After a while, the aroma of baking wafted from the oven. Su Xun placed the baked cake base on the table and took out the cream she had just bought from the refrigerator.
"Let's spread some cream on the cake together."
She first painted the entire surface white, and then the two of them added patterns on it with colored cream.
Soon, a cake with a pink pig design began to take shape.
"Why are we drawing Peppa Pig?" Pei Ke asked, looking at the two pink pig heads.
"Maybe it's because I've been watching too many cartoons with Qiqi lately?"
Pei Ke: "..."
Su Xun: "......"
