Chapter 135 Picking up leftovers from your girlfriend is enough
Knowing he was in the wrong, Jin Changyu said, "Then I'll go pay the bill first and then come back."
"By the time you finish paying, the hazelnut cakes will be sold out," the pastry chef said.
Jin Changyu glanced at the tray labeled "Hazelnut Cake" and saw that there were only a few left, while there was a long queue behind him.
By the time he's done all that back and forth, it'll be sold out.
Just as Jin Changyu was about to buy some pastry from the pastry chef at a high price, he heard a girl walk over and say, "Handsome, you can have mine. I just bought two hazelnut cakes."
Jin Changyu looked at her, "Are you willing to give it up?"
The girl had noticed Jin Changyu long ago and was waiting to strike up a conversation with him after he finished shopping. Now that she had such a good opportunity, she certainly wasn't going to let it slip by.
"Helping others brings joy."
The girl immediately handed over the hazelnut cake she had just bought, saying, "Here, take this."
Jin Changyu didn't stand on ceremony. After thanking him, he took the box and said, "I'll give you the money now."
The opportunity has arrived.
"Okay, let's add each other on WeChat..."
The girl deftly pulled out her phone, but before she could even finish speaking, several hundred-yuan bills were handed to her.
She was stunned.
Although she could tell from his demeanor and clothing that the man was definitely rich, she didn't expect him to give her cash directly.
And there are so many.
"...Hazelnut cake is only 38 yuan each."
Seeing that she didn't take it, Jin Changyu put the money on the table next to him and let her take it herself. "This money is a reward for your willingness to give up the shares. I am really grateful to you. My wife just wanted to have this."
Fearing that Sang Qian might be getting impatient, he thanked her again and then hurriedly left.
The girl was left looking bewildered and disappointed.
It turns out he already has a wife.
She's being overly enthusiastic.
Jin Changyu rushed over to Sang Qian's side and was about to hand her the box when he saw her and Su Luoluo sitting there eating small cakes.
Sang Qian looked up and saw him staring at her blankly with the box in his hand. She put down her fork somewhat awkwardly. "I'm a little hungry and can't wait any longer. Da Hai, just buy me a piece of cake to fill my stomach first."
Jin Changyu knew that she needed to eat immediately when she was hungry, and that she would feel uncomfortable if she waited even a moment longer.
Indeed, he had been waiting in line for too long.
"Sorry, I was gone for too long."
He sat down next to Sang Qian and opened the box of hazelnut cake in front of her and Su Luoluo. "Let's eat this after we finish the cake."
"The cake is too rich, I don't want it, I want hazelnut cake instead."
Su Luoluo pushed aside the half-eaten cake in her hand and took out a piece of hazelnut cake. "Wow, it's still warm."
"Qianqian, you should eat it while it's hot too."
Sang Qian was craving this pastry, but...
Looking at the cake she hadn't finished, she felt she shouldn't waste food.
Dahai helped Su Luoluo finish what she left over, but she couldn't finish it all. Throwing it away seemed inappropriate, and after eating the cake, she felt too full to eat hazelnut cake.
As Sang Qian was struggling with her decision, the cake in front of her was moved away.
Jin Changyu pushed the remaining hazelnut cake in the box in front of her, saying, "You eat this, I'll eat the cake."
Sang Qian paused for a moment, "This... isn't appropriate."
They're not husband and wife anymore, let alone lovers. How could she give away her leftovers?
"I'm actually craving cake, is that not allowed?"
Jin Changyu looked at her.
Sang Qian pointed to the unopened triangular strawberry cake next to her, "Da Hai also bought one for you, you can eat that."
But I just want to eat what you left over.
Jin Changyu thought this to himself, but said aloud, "I don't really like eating strawberries."
Before Sang Qian could say anything more, she saw him already eating the half-eaten cake she had left with a fork.
Seeing him eat so naturally without any disgust, Sang Qian was slightly stunned.
Seeing that she didn't move, Jin Changyu picked up the hazelnut cake and put it in her hand, "Don't just stand there, the cake will get cold and won't taste good."
Sang Qian snapped out of her daze, said thank you, and took a small bite of hazelnut cake.
The sweetness of the pastry slowly spread in my mouth and then quietly seeped into my heart.
Seeing that she had eaten, Jin Changyu smiled with satisfaction. When he looked away, he inadvertently noticed that Tang Yuehai, who was sitting opposite him, was also eating the cake that Su Luoluo had left over.
A little while later, Su Luoluo fed him a bite of hazelnut cake. He looked up and saw that there were crumbs of cake on the corner of Su Luoluo's mouth, so he wiped them off with his thumb.
The two acted intimately and naturally, and it was obvious to onlookers that they were a very loving couple.
In contrast, the woman beside him sat upright, silently eating the pastry in her hand, not even glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, let alone engaging in any intimate interaction.
Feeling a sense of disappointment, he deliberately leaned closer, staring at the hazelnut cake in Sang Qian's hand, and asked softly, "Is this tasty?"
Sang Qian almost choked when she met his longing gaze.
"...If you want to know how it tastes, why don't you buy another one?"
Jin Changyu, “…”
Did he want to taste it? He just wanted her to share a bite with him.
"I'm not eating anymore, you finish it."
Su Luoluo stuffed the unfinished hazelnut cake into Tang Yuehai's hand, and Tang Yuehai took it without saying a word.
Seeing this, Jin Changyu suddenly understood why Tang Yuehai insisted that he didn't need to buy his share.
Picking up what his girlfriend leaves behind is enough.
He had heard Sang Qian say that her two friends had gone through a campus romance and were still in a passionate relationship, so their way of getting along must be something worth learning from.
Thinking about it, Jin Changyu immediately followed suit, turning to Sang Qian and whispering, "If you can't finish it, you can give it to me."
He was happy to eat all the food she left over.
Sang Qian stared at him in shock, “???”
Why is he staring at the hazelnut cake in her hand?
After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but say, "...If you really crave it, why don't you go buy another one?"
She's always had a craving for this.
Unlike Su Luoluo, who recently claimed she wanted to lose weight, she had a bigger appetite after becoming pregnant, and one hazelnut cake was just enough to satisfy her craving.
How could she not finish it?
"..."
Jin Changyu, having been rebuffed, smiled somewhat awkwardly, "I... was just kidding."
*
After finishing their meal and sitting for a while, Su Luoluo pulled Sang Qian to go shopping in the maternity and baby section upstairs.
Su Luoluo's addiction to shopping at maternity and baby stores is even greater than Sang Qian's.
He pulled her into the store, and whenever he saw items for pregnant women or babies, she wanted to buy them if she thought they were cute or suitable for Sang Qian.
But Sang Qian stopped them all.
It wasn't that she wanted to offend Su Luoluo's kindness.
The baby is only three months old now, and she's already buying herself everything. By the time she's due, the things she's bought will probably fill a whole room.
By then, moving will probably be a huge undertaking for her.
Therefore, Sang Qian's current strategy is to look around, but not rush to buy.
Unless it's something you absolutely have to use.
The group took good care of Sang Qian during her pregnancy. They sat and strolled around, and in the evening, the four of them had dinner together at the mall before heading home.
Perhaps because she had exercised too much today, Sang Qian fell asleep shortly after getting in the car.
Seeing her head resting against the car window, and worried that she might not be comfortable while sleeping, Jin Changyu gently reached out and pulled her into his arms, letting her rest her head on his chest to sleep.
In the dim light, the woman's cheek was pressed against his chest, her lips slightly pursed, and the aloofness she exuded disappeared when she fell asleep.
She nestled in his arms, fast asleep.
Gazing at her quietly, the words his grandmother had said that afternoon resurfaced in his mind, and Jin Changyu felt a pang of bitterness and heartache.
Five years.
He had been loved by her for five years.
But now, she's even planning where she'll go after giving birth.
She planned to leave him immediately after the child was born.
Jin Changyu gazed intently at the sleeping woman in his arms, gently stroking her delicate cheek, his dark eyes as deep as whirlpools.
Qianqian, what am I going to do with you?
You want to leave, but I've already...
I can't let you go.
