"Ma'am, what kind of cake would you like? Today is Double Ninth Festival, and we have vanilla cake, which is a special offer."
The clerk looked at the woman in front of him with an excited smile: "Buy one, get two free, what a great deal."
"Excuse me," Shui Yiyao asked, "Do you have strawberry cake?"
"What size do you want?"
"A 4-inch one is enough."
"Yes," the salesperson said hurriedly, "but it has to be made fresh. Please wait a moment."
"Um, okay, thank you for your help."
The salesperson pointed to the waiting area next to him and said, "Please sit here for a while."
Shui Yiyao: "Okay."
She walked over and found a place to sit down.
The Double Ninth Festival is her birthday, but it is not the mermaid princess’ birthday, as the original owner’s birthday is a month later.
Grandpa always said that her birth on the Double Ninth Festival was auspicious and would surely bring her a long and happy life. But he never expected that her long and happy life would only last for 23 years.
On her birthday, she would pester her grandfather to buy her a birthday cake, which must be sweet strawberry flavored, and she would order a big 12-inch one. Although there were only her and her grandfather at home before and the cake could never be finished, she just wanted to buy a big cake for a sense of ceremony.
"Can you... give me an autograph?"
As soon as she sat down, the salesperson ran over and asked her with a red face.
Shui Yiyao was a little surprised: "Huh?"
She reacted: "Oh, signature, sure, what to sign?"
The salesgirl immediately took out the notebook and pen from her back and asked in surprise, "Is it really possible?"
She didn't want to disturb Yu Yu, but she couldn't help but come over to try. It wouldn't matter if she didn't get it, but if she did get it, it would be a happy event.
Shui Yiyao took the notebook and pen and wrote her name neatly on the paper - Shui Yiyao.
She wanted to hand the paper and pen back, but after thinking for a moment, she paused and wrote in the lower right corner - For the little cutie.
She moved her pen again, and a Q-version stick figure appeared on the paper.
The salesgirl was surprised: "Is this me?"
Although it is a Q version, it has obvious character features. She has a mole at the corner of her eye, and the simple sketch drawn by Shui Yiyao also has a mole. She wears a rose necklace, and the character she draws also wears a rose necklace.
And, the drawing is super cute!
Shui Yiyao: "As long as you don't mind."
She handed the notebook back to the girl.
The girl took it, thanked him repeatedly, and looked at the signature again and again in surprise.
"I like it very much."
"As long as you like it."
Suddenly, the girl's expression froze, and then she pursed her lips and looked at Shui Yiyao: "Can I add something else?"
Shui Yiyao: "Did I miss something?"
Her career as an artist was not long, and she had rarely signed autographs.
"No, no..." The girl quickly waved her hands and explained, "I'm sorry, but I still want to ask, can you sign the Chengdao jade carving as well?"
She whispered, "I'm a fan of your jade carvings."
Shui Yiyao was stunned.
The girl added carefully, "If not, that's okay. I'm already super satisfied and happy."
Shui Yiyao smiled and said, "Of course, no problem."
She took the notebook back and boldly wrote the words "Chengyu" above Shui Yiyao's name. Her pen was sharp and bold, taking up most of the paper.
When the girl saw it, she smiled widely. Their idol is so cute!
In fact, she had originally watched "Up Mountains and Down Seas" and had a good impression of Shui Yiyao, who won the "Mountaineering King" and "Diving King" in the series. She thought she was very strong, beautiful and eye-catching.
But she retired from the entertainment industry not long after that, and she was a little sad at the time. However, she soon found another boyfriend, who was also very beautiful.
But I happened to hear that Shui Yiyao was doing live broadcasts, so I went to the live broadcast room.
Once you go, it will be out of control.
She was supposed to be watching Xin Qiangtou's new TV series, but she was watching the live broadcast. She was supposed to be watching Xin Qiangtou's interview video, but she was watching the live broadcast. Xin Qiangtou walked the red carpet, but she was still watching the live broadcast.
Shui Yiyao’s live broadcast is really eye-opening.
How can there be such a powerful person in this world?
He could make a living with his looks, but he chose to rely on his strength.
She later met a friend in the fan group, who was also a fan of Yu Yu. She failed the postgraduate entrance examination last year and took it for the second time. She was very depressed and had no confidence.
Later, she became a fan of Yuyu. Whenever Yuyu was carving jade, she would start learning from her. If Yuyu worked late at night, she would stay up late to learn too.
She has cried out to her fans many times: I am so tired and I can't hold on any longer.
Everyone in the fan group said: But I never heard Yu Yu complain of being tired during the live broadcast.
Indeed, not a single word.
She seemed to have realized it, and later she no longer complained about being tired, but just buried her head in studying hard.
There is another exam coming up soon, and she said she will try her best and she is confident.
In the past, haters always said that Shui Yiyao was the least idol-like idol.
But she felt that Shui Yiyao was the most competent idol she had ever pursued.
She can be a fan of such an idol for her whole life.
Her elders always like to ask her what she is watching and whether she is still chasing stars. She used to be sneaky and now she can speak openly and honestly.
Yeah, I'm star-struck!
When they challenged her and asked her questions, she could still calmly add: My idol is a jade carver who can help the New Town Museum repair cultural relics.
Usually, the elders don’t believe it.
She would send them the live broadcast link directly.
Hard power, you have to believe it.
Now there is an aunt who has also become a fan of Yu Yu’s live broadcast. She watches the live broadcast room every day and watches it more frequently than her. She even went to Yu Yu’s store to place an order for a bracelet.
Whenever someone compliments her bracelet, she starts showing off that it was made for her by a host on Dazhou Live who has millions of followers.
People just ask: Are you still giving gifts to the anchor?
She then said in a calm yet proud tone, "Oh, that's called labor fees, not a reward." Chengyu is the kind of jade carver invited by the New Town Museum to repair cultural relics.
She would tell her aunt that she met Yu Yu and got an autograph. She would definitely be envious.
·
The cake was ready in a short while, and the salesgirl brought it out from the bakery.
"Yu Yu, is this your birthday cake? Do you need number candles?" the girl asked.
She knew it probably wasn't the case. If it was, the fan group would definitely be supporting it. This was a routine question in their shop. Every customer who came to buy this kind of cake would ask, "If it's a birthday, they will give you candles."
Shui Yiyao didn't hesitate and immediately answered, "No."
The girl nodded: "Enjoy your meal, and welcome to visit next time."
The girl sent Shui Yiyao out the door and was about to send a WeChat message about the incident when the next customer came into the store.
She looked up to greet the customer, but was stunned when she saw him. Is today a good day? Why did she keep running into people she wouldn't normally meet?
Ao Li!
"Hello, would you like to buy a cake?"
“No need.”
The girl was wondering, if he wasn't going to buy a cake, then what was he doing in there?
"Excuse me." Ao Li suddenly took out a black card and placed it on the counter.
"Tell the girl just now that she won a prize and can..." He paused, then continued, "Try all the cakes in the store for free."
"I'll pay."
"Is it convenient?" Ao Li was also very polite.
Girl: "It's convenient." Of course it is convenient. For their small shop, this is a huge amount of money!
Shui Yiyao had just left the house, so there was still time to catch up.
Before the salesgirl left, Ao Li warned her, "Don't let anything slip, or you'll get into trouble."
Let her think that today is a lucky day and just be happy.
That's good.
He looked at the ID number she left in the consultation notebook. Her birthday, converted into the lunar calendar, was the Double Ninth Festival.
Today is her birthday.
After the salesperson left, Ao Li went up to the second floor of the shop and hid in a small, inconspicuous corridor. He kept a close eye on the first floor, waiting for Shui Yiyao to come back.
When the time comes, he will pay for the cake after she finishes eating it.
But after a while, the door of the shop was pushed open, and only the salesgirl came in.
Ao Li was a little confused. Seeing that it was indeed only the salesperson and Shui Yiyao was not there, he went downstairs.
The salesperson saw Ao Li coming down from the second floor and approached him, looking a little apologetic: "Mr. Ao, I'm sorry."
"She didn't come over. She said she was too busy and had to go back to work."
"But I could tell she was really happy. She even asked if it was true, saying it was good luck, and said she would come back next time to take care of the business."
Ao Li lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Just be happy.
He raised his eyes and said, "Give me a portion of the cake she just bought."
It just so happened that the chef had made a few extra portions, so the salesperson took a piece of the same strawberry cake, wrapped it on the counter, and handed it to Ao Li.
Looking at this small four-inch cake decorated with a red strawberry, Ao Li smiled softly. It was quite cute.
He brought the small cake over and pushed the black card in front of the salesperson: "See how much you have to pay. The next time she comes, she can try all the desserts in the store for free."
The salesperson took the black card and said, "Please wait a moment. I'll ask the store manager."
After all, it is impossible to calculate the price of all the desserts in the store. Yuyu can't eat so much, and I don't know if she will come again.
"No need, just calculate the price of all the desserts." Ao Li stopped her.
Salesperson: He is indeed a rich man.
"But she can't eat so much, right? This is unreasonable."
Ao Li: "There's no need for more people to know about this. She'll think it was just good luck."
He didn't want more people to know about this. If it was leaked, what was originally just a happy thing of good luck would be distorted.
As long as she is happy.
The salesperson was stunned: "Okay."
The salesperson was still a little dazed when he saw a grown man carrying out a small cake the size of a palm.
It seems like she really got it?
Finally, she turned on her phone, clicked on Weibo, entered the super topic of the unmarried official couple, and quickly posted a message - I declare that the unmarried official couple is real!
Someone asked immediately.
-Blogger, do you know something?
-Yes! I know! But I won't tell you! Sweet is all!
