Pei Xi felt that she must have gone crazy to think he was like an innocent and naive child.
"...Do you know what you're saying?" she asked hesitantly.
Jiang Cheng nodded.
His eyes shone brightly, like a little animal that had discovered some treasure. "I've learned a lot of new things recently."
"If I say I want to make the baby more comfortable, I mean it."
Pei Xi: "..."
He seems to be quite lucid.
He even remembered what he said several days ago.
But sitting on your face or something...
How did he say it without batting an eye?
"Are you drunk?" Pei Xi leaned down slightly, touched his face, and asked softly.
“I didn’t.” Jiang Cheng shook his head in her palm.
Then he paused for a moment, and then said honestly, "I'm just... a little drunk."
"Really?" Pei Xi asked.
"Really." He nodded emphatically, his brow furrowing slightly, as if eager to explain to her, "A truly drunk person wouldn't be like me."
Pei Xi was taken aback. "Huh?"
Like him?
What's he like?
“You…” He grasped her wrist, his expression serious, “You’ll know once you touch it.”
As he spoke, he grabbed her hand and started to pull her down.
Pei Xi reacted instantly, her eyes widening, and she reflexively pulled her hand away, "Oh, oh, oh, no need, no need..."
Jiang Cheng stopped moving, but she didn't pull her hand away; he held it even tighter.
He looked up at her, a hint of confusion on his brow, as if he didn't understand why she was refusing.
During the pause, Pei Xi glanced down.
Then she gasped.
He was wearing a loose-fitting yukata, but the fabric was very thin. Now, sitting on the sofa, his thigh muscles were taut, and the hem of the yukata was messy and clung to his legs. Any slight change in his appearance was clearly visible.
Without even touching him, just through the fabric, she could tell he wasn't drunk.
When was he…
Pei Xi closed his eyes tightly.
Then she looked away and coughed lightly, "Um... no need to touch me, I know you're not drunk."
Jiang Cheng responded with an "oh," his expression seemingly showing some regret.
Then he hesitated and let go.
Pei Xi continued to struggle, looking at him and saying, "There's still cake in the fridge. You have to eat cake on your birthday."
Jiang Cheng shook his head, then suddenly put his arm around her waist, "Baby is like cake."
Pei Xi: "..."
She took a deep breath.
That's so cheesy.
She truly hadn't expected Jiang Cheng to behave like this after drinking...
Although he wasn't actually drunk, she felt that he was somewhat out of his mind.
So Pei Xi hardened her heart, pried his arm off, and said with a slightly serious expression, "No, you have to eat cake."
Jiang Cheng glanced at her expression and nodded slightly. "Okay, let's eat the cake first, then..."
Pei Xi quickly covered his mouth, "Stop, I'll go get the cake."
Jiang Cheng blinked lightly and made a soft "hmm" sound in her palm.
He even took the opportunity to kiss her palm.
Pei Xi: "..."
She let go of his hand, quickly turned around, and went to the refrigerator to get the cake.
Actually, she didn't insist on Jiang Cheng eating the cake just because she made it herself.
It's not that you can't make a wish by lighting candles if you don't eat cake.
She didn't want Jiang Cheng to miss this once-a-year opportunity.
Pei Xi took out the cake, placed it on the coffee table, and opened it. The cake was a simple design with ordinary frosting, but even the simplest frosting was done crookedly by her.
It turns out that making cakes and drawing have no necessary connection. Drawing skills are completely unnecessary because Pei Xi discovered an uncontrollable force: her hands would shake when she was spreading cream or piping flowers.
I don't know what she's shaking about, she's always super steady when she's doing experiments.
Pei Xi thought she might be born a kitchen failure.
Hmm, that's probably why she got burned when she was a child...
Jiang Cheng's gaze paused noticeably when he saw the cake, then he looked at Pei Xi and asked, "Baby, did you make this yourself?"
Pei Xi was taken aback. "How did you know?"
She had never told him.
Jiang Cheng pursed his lips and remained silent.
In a moment of silence, Pei Xi realized that he had subconsciously asked a pointless question.
Judging by its appearance... the answer is obvious.
Pei Xi chuckled, but before she could feel embarrassed, Jiang Cheng said, "So cute."
Pei Xi's smile froze: "
Love truly makes people blind.
Her boyfriend has gone so far as to lie through his teeth.
This cake is anything but cute.
More like sloppy.
So she coughed lightly, feeling a little awkward, and said to him, "Ah Cheng, you don't really need to flatter me like that..."
Jiang Cheng shook his head. "I was talking about you."
Pei Xi was startled.
Jiang Cheng took her hand and said, "When I think about how you looked when you made this cake, I think...it's so cute."
Pei Xi was stunned for several seconds.
This person…
Why does your mouth taste so sweet after drinking alcohol...?
Her heart pounded twice. She tried to ignore the heat rising around her ears, then took a deep breath, picked up the candles beside her, and said as she lit them, "First... first blow out the candles and make a wish, then eat the cake."
"Okay." Jiang Cheng nodded.
He placed the candle in the burner, lit it, closed his eyes, made a wish, and then blew out the flame.
He pulled out the candles and picked up a knife to cut the cake.
The first piece belongs to Pei Xi.
Then it was his.
Pei Xi took a bite with a fork and put it in her mouth. The sweet cream melted in her mouth. Although the cake didn't look very appealing, it tasted quite good.
