"Sis, the casting for 'The Mist' will be finalized tomorrow. Aren't you worried at all? You're letting me drive around aimlessly."
As a complete novice who just got a fake photo, Lili perfectly embodied the word "newbie".
It moves like a snail on the road, easily overtaking even electric bikes on the side.
Luo Jiu, sitting behind her in the car seat, showed no intention of answering her, nor did she appear embarrassed at all.
"That's good too. I wonder how many people are giving gifts to the director. We're a breath of fresh air. Maybe this will make an artist like the director look at us differently and give us a role."
Luo Jiu: "..."
Is it that you're naive and innocent, or just stupid?
"Okay, stop the car."
The two went to a shopping mall. This time, Luo Jiu was smarter and was fully armed with sunglasses, a mask, and a hat.
"Then I'll park the car in the parking lot, and we'll take the elevator up together."
"No need, no need, I'll go by myself. I'll call you to pick me up when I'm done."
Before Li Li could stop her, Luo Jiu had already blended into the crowd. Even so, her slender and beautiful figure still stood out in the vast sea of people.
"Why are you in such a hurry to go somewhere?"
Lili felt that she was no longer Luo Jiu's close confidante; this person didn't tell her anything anymore.
This woman has changed.
"bite……"
Li Li's phone vibrated. She swiped to check and saw a birthday reminder from Chen Jinchen on Weibo.
Today is my birthday, come and wish me a happy birthday!
Lili slapped her forehead, realizing what Luo Jiu had gone to do.
How could I forget such an important day? Am I a fake fan?
He wasn't in a hurry to go back, so he parked his car in the parking lot, randomly found a milk tea shop, opened his fan group, and started making plans.
A flurry of actions, as fierce as a tiger.
On the other hand, Luo Jiu had a comfortable meal at her boyfriend's house yesterday, which amplified her guilt and unease.
Every time Shen Jinchen walked in front of her wearing that pink shirt, it reminded Luo Jiu how narrow-minded she was.
Tormented by her conscience, Luo Jiu got up early, intending to give Shen Jinchen a belated birthday present on his birthday.
It must be exquisite, beautiful, and thoughtfully chosen.
Welcome!
Even seeing Luo Jiu's outfit, the sales assistant remained unfazed, bent down and made a "please" gesture, demonstrating a high level of professionalism.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
Luo Jiu entered a DIY craft shop, where a dazzling array of small ornaments decorated the walls, and there was also a dessert shop in the rest area.
The colorful cakes and ice creams were constantly tempting Luo Jiu's taste buds.
People these days are so good at business; everything looks so appealing that it's hard to resist eating it. Even if it looked a little less appealing, Luo Jiu could still control her desires.
"These cakes sell very well in our store. The cream is all imported, sweet but not greasy. There are also samples available. If you are interested, you can try them."
"That……"
Just as Luo Jiu was about to agree, Shen Jinchen's face suddenly flashed through her mind, making her shudder.
"No need. I'd like to make a gift, but I don't know of any good recommendations."
"May I ask what kind you're looking for?"
Luo Jiu hesitated for a second or two. It seemed that Shen Jinchen lacked nothing. What would be a more surprising gift?
Is this a gift for your boyfriend?
The sales assistant, seeing Luo Jiu's face gradually turn red, understood everything.
"We've recently launched a DIY workshop for making liqueur-filled chocolates. Our patient instructors offer one-on-one lessons, so you can learn quickly!"
Although it sounded like a pyramid scheme, there was no denying that Luo Jiu was tempted.
"That's the one!"
Luo Jiu originally thought it would be easy: just heat the chocolate chips until they melt, and then put them into a mold to set.
But to her surprise, in order to make the high tuition fees worthwhile and to let customers understand the origin of chocolate, the shop owner asked her to start by grinding coffee beans.
She had taken off her mask early on, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her delicate face. Her eyes were fixed on the chocolate beans in the small pot, and her hands kept turning in one direction without stopping for a moment.
If we fail again, we might not be able to finish the product today.
"bite."
Luo Jiu carefully put her hand into the oven, and the rich aroma of chocolate immediately filled the air.
She gently touched it with her fingertip and put it in her mouth. The sweet chocolate, with a hint of alcohol, spread across Luo Jiu's tongue.
Whether it was because she made it herself or for some other reason, Luo Jiu thought the liqueur-filled chocolate sauce was exceptionally delicious.
Only the final step remains: placing it into the mold for shaping.
It seems I really do have a talent for making desserts; I'm truly an ordinary little genius.
"Welcome to visit us again."
Luo Jiu looked at the small gift box in her hand with a good mood. It was a dark blue box tied with a light blue bow.
When she gave the gift to Shen Jinchen later, he would definitely be very surprised. Thinking of this, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on Luo Jiu's face.
"Hey, Chestnut. I'm waiting for you at Exit 4 of the supermarket."
"Okay, sis, I know what you've been up to. You wanted to surprise my crush, right...? Let me tell you..."
Lili drove her sports car out of the underground parking garage, talking to herself about Luo Jiu's immorality. There was no response for a long time.
I took out my phone and saw that the call had ended.
Even when Luo Jiu was impatient, he wouldn't hang up on her. A bad feeling welled up inside Li Li; oh no.
Here, Luo Jiu stood in the entrance passageway at the main entrance. It wasn't a holiday, so the huge shopping mall didn't seem to be very crowded.
Luo Jiu carried a bag of finished products from the morning in one hand while texting Shen Jinchen. Couples deeply in love are always thinking about each other.
A subtle smile played on her lips, unnoticed even by herself. Her captivating eyes were fixed on the chat box, overflowing with happiness.
Just then, Luo Jiu was bumped from behind. She lost her grip on her phone, it flew out of her hand, the screen shattered, and went black instantly.
Luo Jiu raised her head, her brows furrowing deeply.
"Little sister, why aren't you watching where you're going?"
The person who came was a young girl, wearing a school uniform and super short hot pants. Her hair was tied up high, and she wore lipstick. Her eyes showed no remorse for bumping into someone. Instead, she smiled contemptuously at her with a self-righteous attitude, looking like a delinquent girl.
"Who's your sister!"
