Anne proudly brought out all the desserts she had made.

Only two of each style were made, totaling more than ten varieties, so there's plenty to eat.

The presentation was not bad. Bai Xiaoruo picked up one of the pink flower-shaped cream cakes, took a bite, and found that the taste was also good.

"Hmm, not bad. But Annie, next time you need to whip your cream a little longer, because you're making the filling. The filling cream will be more flavorful if it's a little thinner."

"I see... Then I'll definitely improve next time."

"Mmm, but overall the taste is pretty good. Annie, you learn very quickly."

"Hehe, that's because you're a good teacher."

Bai Xiaoruo spent the afternoon at Annie's house, and in the end, unable to resist Annie's insistence, she packed two boxes of pastries to take home.

Bai Xiaoruo thought that these snacks could be kept in the refrigerator. She could give them to Ji Shushu to eat when she went to school tomorrow, and she would leave the other box for Xuan Xingze, that big eater. With his appetite, he would probably wolf it down in just a few bites.

Annie escorted Bai Xiaoru downstairs, and Bai Xiaoru told her to go back and not to see her off anymore, as she knew the way even in broad daylight.

After saying goodbye to Annie, Bai Xiaoruo walked to the bus stop, sat on a bench, and waited for the bus to arrive.

After waiting for a few minutes, suddenly, a silver car slowly stopped in front of Bai Xiaoruo.

Bai Xiaoruo didn't pay attention at first, until the person in the car rolled down the window, and then she realized whose car it was.

"Xiao Ruo, what are you doing here?" Ji Ziqian had just gotten off work and was looking around when he saw Bai Xiao Ruo sitting quietly on a bench at the bus stop. He immediately drove over.

"Brother Ziqian, what a coincidence... I'm waiting for the bus. I'll go back when it comes." Bai Xiaoruo stood up and smiled politely at Ji Ziqian.

"The bus? It's rush hour now. Even if you get on the bus, you'll still have to squeeze for ages. Let me take you home instead."
