Chapter 334: Birthday Celebration by the River
Finally, the session of lighting candles and singing birthday songs turned into a session of appreciating Qiao Shixin's craftsmanship.
"Shi Xin, are you immersed in making a cake, or are you immersed in making a failed cake?"
"This cake base...who are you trying to choke to death?"
"Wow, isn't this cream a little thin? This is the first time in my life that I've eaten such thin cream. I thought you were asking us to drink yogurt."
Qiao Shiyan has a vicious mouth and is merciless when attacking his sister. He is undoubtedly her real brother.
Chen Ma even stood aside, pretending she didn't exist, and hoped that everyone would treat her as if she didn't exist, as long as they didn't let her eat Qiao Shixin's cake. She had seen the whole process of Qiao Shixin making the cake.
I've been a nanny for so many years, but I've never seen anyone cook like this!
She was afraid of having diarrhea after eating.
She also has to take care of the young lady's family. If she gets sick, who will cook, do laundry, and clean the house for the young lady and her husband? Who will help the young lady take care of young Master Doudou?
In order not to make Qiao Shixin sad, Su Man cut a large piece for herself and put a big mouthful into her mouth.
Hmm...how should I put it.
The cake base was indeed a bit dry and a bit hard to chew.
Cream...just tastes like cream.
It was indeed a bit watery and was dripping everywhere.
Thousands of words came to his lips and finally turned into Su Man's words: "Not bad! It's great that I can do it like this at home." Su Man tried her best to control her expression.
"Teacher Su, please stop comforting me." Qiao Shixin pouted and was not comforted by Su Man.
Instead it was Song Lin.
He also cut himself a large piece of the cake made by Qiao Shixin.
Unlike Suman who scooped a big piece, he scooped a piece carefully with a spoon and put it into his mouth, and tasted it seriously.
He didn't make any comments, but he quickly finished the whole cake.
Qiao Shixin opened the cake she ordered:
"Everyone, let's eat this. Even though I didn't make it myself, at least I chose it myself, so I can at least feel a sense of accomplishment."
Qiao Shixin comforted herself and was very optimistic.
The cakes in the cake shop obviously look better. They are made of low-saturation light yellow cream as the base, and are decorated with small goose yellow flowers. The stamens are so delicate that they look very realistic. They are then embellished with cream-colored fondant ribbons, which are gentle and exquisite.
As soon as the new cake was opened, everyone gave up on the one that Qiao Shixin had made herself. Qiao Shiyan cut the cake and distributed it to everyone. Aunt Chen, who had been silent and standing by as if she were nothing, now leaned forward with a plate.
Su Man finished the small piece of cake made by Qiao Shixin that she had just cut, and then went to try the cakes in the cake shop.
Surprisingly, the last two cakes, the small cake made by Qiao Shixin, were eaten up.
Instead, I bought it from a cake shop outside, and there was still one third left.
Most of the credit for the fact that the cake made by Qiao Shixin was eaten should go to Song Lin.
This surprised Suman.
After eating the cake, everyone set off to the riverside to set off fireworks.
Mother Chen does not participate in the young people's fun and stays at home to take care of Doudou.
This residential area is close to the river and it takes less than ten minutes to drive there.
Qiao Shiyan was driving. Originally, Su Man was going to sit in the passenger seat, but Qiao Shixin got in the back seat and wanted to pull Su Man to accompany her: "Sister-in-law, come with me."
It was obvious that she didn't want to sit in the back seat with Song Lin.
Su Man looked at Qiao Shiyan, then at Qiao Shixin, still hesitating. Song Lin walked towards the passenger seat and said, "I'm carsick. Let's sit in the front."
He got in the car, fastened his seat belt, and joked with Qiao Shiyan: "I'm taking my sister-in-law's seat, big brother, you don't mind, right?"
"Let them stay together. Shi Xin has always liked to stick with Su Man." Qiao Shiyan said.
In the back seat of the car, Qiao Shixin held Su Man's arm and pouted at Qiao Shiyan, "Let's be honest, I'm just a sister-in-law."
Song Lin secretly glanced at Qiao Shixin through the rearview mirror.
This glance was caught by Su Man.
Su Man always felt that there seemed to be an undercurrent between the young couple, but she couldn't tell what it was.
But Su Man was sure that Song Lin did not dislike Qiao Shixin, nor did it mean that he had no feelings for Qiao Shixin as Qiao Shixin said.
Eight minutes later.
The group arrived at the riverside.
Qiao Shiyan also specially found a gently sloping lawn viewing platform, which is suitable for setting off fireworks, as well as resting and viewing the scenery.
After parking the car, Qiao Shiyan and Song Lin carried the fireworks, a small picnic table and folding chairs.
Su Man and Qiao Shixin carried snacks and fruits respectively.
The tables and chairs were set up, and sumptuous food was placed on the table. Qiao Shiyan set up the lights, and the warm yellow light that created a very atmospheric atmosphere spread out in a circle, enveloping everyone in this small camp, making it romantic and warm.
Qiao Shixin was eager to take action, so she took the fireworks and lighter and ran to the riverside to light them.
Su Man and Qiao Shiyan didn't notice when she ran away. Song Lin was indeed paying attention to Qiao Shixin's actions. As soon as Qiao Shixin ran away, Song Lin got up and followed her.
Qiao Shixin squatted by the stone railing by the river and lit the fuse of the fireworks with a lighter.
Song Lin didn't get close, but stood a few steps behind Qiao Shixin, waiting silently for her to light the fireworks.
Under the streetlight, Qiao Shixin squatted on the ground, a small black ball, and tried to light the fire seriously. Song Lin looked at her, his expression blurred by the night, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
Suddenly——
"Ouch!" Qiao Shixin suddenly screamed and threw away the lighter in her hand.
Song Lin immediately rushed over, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Shixin had a sad face, rubbing her hands and complaining, "It won't light up at all!"
Song Lin noticed the small movement of her hand and picked up her hand to check.
It turned out that the night wind by the river was a bit strong, and the wind blew the flame sideways, failing to ignite the fuse, and instead burned Qiao Shixin's hand.
"Burned?" He didn't see any serious burns on Qiao Shixin's hands. It was probably just a burn when she threw the lighter away.
Qiao Shixin said nothing, and didn't appreciate it. She pulled her hand back and said, "None of your business."
Song Lin was used to it, so he went to pick up the lighter that Qiao Shixin had thrown aside and said, "Let me light one."
Qiao Shixin didn't respond well to his kindness. Without waiting for Song Lin to light the fireworks, she turned around and walked back to the lawn to find Su Man and her brother.
Su Man saw what happened just now.
When Qiao Shixin came back and sat down beside her, Su Man came over and said to Qiao Shixin secretly:
"Why do I feel that Song Lin is not that bad to you?"
"He is good to me, and he used to be good to me. Otherwise, why would I like him? But he is not only good to me, he is also good to others."
Suman nodded.
Too.
Song Lin is nice to people, but he is just used to it.
This doesn't mean anything.
When he had a crush on Suman in the past, he would buy breakfast for Suman every morning, regardless of the weather.
Su Man shook her head and sighed.
Qiao Shiyan cut the fruit and arranged several beautiful fruit plates.
Su Man praised him: "You are worthy of being Lawyer Qiao. You can write beautiful petitions and cut delicious fruit plates."
"laugh--"
A sneer suddenly came from the other end.
This sneer did not come from the Qiao siblings, nor from Song Lin, nor from any of them.
Su Man turned her head suddenly and saw Xiao Beisheng walking towards her with a cold and handsome face.
