"Hmm? Indifferent?" Tan Xing seemed not to understand. "But hasn't classmate Bai Xiaoqian been working with senior sister Chu Moyin and the others recently?"
"But that's a recent thing. Since you're Xiaoqian's classmate, have you ever noticed such a relationship before?"
Tan Xing pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"It seems... I haven't seen him. Because I always pay attention to the movements of those powerful people whom I can't afford to offend, so--"
"So they suddenly acted together, maybe because..." Bai Xiaoqian's father set his eyes on Chu Shangli: "Because classmate Luo Dongxia returned to school recently."
"Hmm..." Bai Xiaoqian nodded: "Since I'm with classmate Luo Dongxia, it seems that there is no way to avoid the intersection with senior sister Chu Moyin."
"But actually, I'm a little surprised—"
Bai Xiaoqian's father was washing fresh, round blueberries. Seeing this, Chu Shangli hurried over to help cut the strawberries into small pieces.
"Accident?" Tan Xing hesitated for a moment: "Accident what?"
"No, it's nothing—it's just that—I seem to have been mistaken about something. I originally thought Xiaoqian was concerned about another person in Class A who had a close relationship with Miss Chu Moyin... But, it seems that Xiaoqian is concerned about Luo Dongxia. Why—why did I get it wrong for so long? I always feel that I, as a father, have neglected my duties a little bit—"
"Another close relative of Class A?"
Tan Xing's eyes rolled around, and he muttered to himself, "The other close relative... is it Chu Shangli? Hmm... I always feel like it seems a little strange, so it must be..."
Tan Xing followed Chu Shangli's instructions and laid out the oilcloth on the baking tray.
He took the printing mold handed to him by Chu Shangli and gently spread the butter cake batter evenly with a scraper.
"I didn't know there were such convenient printing molds now—I was wondering what I would do if I couldn't hand-draw patterns because of my clumsy hands."
"If it were the Family, they would use more ingenious techniques - a form that has already been eliminated here. However, compared to the Family's method, the way we do it is actually more ceremonial..." Bai Xiaoqian's father smiled.
When Tan Xing was printing patterns on the oilcloth with a sense of accomplishment, he suddenly realized and slapped his forehead.
"No, that's not what I wanted to ask. Although this job is indeed interesting, so much so that I'm thinking that if you don't plan to open a dim sum restaurant here, I want to see if Family is hiring—"
"As for Family... I don't think they need help, but if you apply, you'll probably be accepted..."
"Why?" Tan Xing stopped scraping the cream. "Will my uncle say something nice to the Family and use some backdoor? If that's the case, forget it. I don't want to cause any trouble for the store."
"No, why would I do something so boring?" Bai Xiaoqian's father laughed and said, "It's mainly because I think the manager of Family Store will like you very much. She always likes interesting people, and you are actually quite interesting in some aspects."
"I... am interesting?" Tan Xing said in surprise.
Chu Shangli was also silently complaining about Bai Xiaoqian's father's evaluation in her heart - Tan Xing was as timid and fearful as a little mouse all day long. If such an old-fashioned guy could be considered interesting, then Chu Shangli probably didn't know anyone who was boring -
But wait...
She always felt that something was bothering her.
The elements of such a boring guy are added together, maybe the unexpected is a selling point?
