“You’re only a sophomore in college and haven’t started working yet, so let me treat you,” Ning Hong said hesitantly.
Ning Hong has already graduated from university.
Instead of going to work for a company, he bought a shop with a house and opened a cake shop.
Jiang Cha teased him about it for days.
"Why did you suddenly decide to open a cake shop again?"
Jiang Cha nestled in his arms and spoke in a childish voice.
Don't think she didn't know. Over the past four years, Ning Hongze has won many awards in his studies, including international ones. In his third year of university, he directly took the postgraduate entrance examination. On the day he graduated from university, while others were still considering whether to continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination, he had already obtained his master's degree.
His professor wanted him to stay at the university, but he initially refused.
After all, he preferred to open a cake shop, where he could live a more relaxed life. However, he couldn't resist the professor's persistence. When the professor heard that he wanted to open a cake shop after graduation, he was so angry that he almost spat out blood.
In the end, he still reserved an associate professor position for him.
He only needs to attend a few classes every now and then, and the cake shop can still be kept open.
"I can choose to drive or not; I just want to find something to do to pass the time."
Ning Hong then forked a small piece of cake and fed it to Jiang Cha.
The familiar sweet taste burst in her mouth, making Jiang Cha's eyes crinkle with joy.
"And they have a lot of free time."
“You have absolutely no ambition.” Jiang Cha wrinkled her nose. “But I like it.” This way, she can spend more time with her.
"Can I not go to elementary school?"
“I don’t mind, but your mother might mind.”
"Oh, it's not just a possibility, she'll definitely mind."
Zhang Rui is an enlightened mother, after all, she is of a certain age. However, no matter how enlightened she is, she would not allow her to skip primary and junior high school. At the very least, she must complete the compulsory education.
As for high school, that's up to Jiang Cha.
"Aze, since you don't intend to make a living from what you learn in university, why do you study so hard?"
"This—perhaps it was an obsession I once held onto."
Ning Hong smiled and said, "Back then, I dropped out of school and worked on construction sites for quite a long time. I kept thinking that if I could turn back time, and if I had the opportunity, I would definitely study hard and never drop out of school." But at that time, he was all alone and couldn't even get enough to eat, so he couldn't think about so much.
At that time, he looked at the students wearing school uniforms and carrying schoolbags to school. He didn't show it on his face, but he was secretly very envious.
Later, after achieving some success at work, he enrolled in an evening adult university, but regret still lingered.
Now that I've successfully completed university, I feel much more at ease.
With her technical skills in hand, Ning Hong's cake shop business continues to thrive.
Mainly cakes and tea drinks.
Tea was unlimited, but he still limited the amount of cake.
After all, he didn't want to be making cakes all day long.
He basically makes only two cakes a day, and once they're sold out, that's it.
The shop has hired two employees, who will also be students from the neighborhood.
The men are responsible for cleaning the store, while the women are responsible for cashier duties and packing drinks.
The cashier in the shop said with a regretful look, "Other cake shops can't even sell all their cakes, they basically give them all to the employees. Our cakes are always completely sold out."
She also found it a bit strange. Generally speaking, cake shops always have some cakes left over, but the cakes made by their boss are basically in short supply.
She used to think that the boss made too few cakes, which is why there were none left. But then one day, a girl in her class had a birthday party and generously bought a whole cake to share with the class.
She also got a small piece, and the taste was simply amazing. She deals with cakes every day, but she never knew it was so delicious.
That's absolutely outrageous!
She wanted to ask the boss to make more, but then she thought that even if he made more, such delicious food probably wouldn't be left over.
Moreover, the boss is too lazy.
He'd rather watch a movie with his little sister than do anything else.
What a good older brother—but is it really okay to let such a young girl watch romance and horror movies?
Ning Hong had no idea what young people were thinking these days. Holding the ginger tea, he looked at the magnificent restaurant in front of him and said, "Sister, let me treat you."
"No, don't worry, I found a job and saved up for a while, just thinking of treating you to a good meal."
She felt a little guilty.
She enjoyed student life, working part-time and causing a ruckus at school, but left her daughter entirely in Ning Hongze's care.
Nowadays, her daughter is clearly more familiar with Ning Hongze. Whenever they go out together, Ning Hongze always carries her. Even today, she refused to let Ning Hongze carry Jiang Cha and instead hung on his back.
"The food cooked here definitely won't taste as good as A-Ze's." Ning Hongze is a mid-level cook. She hadn't expected Ning Hongze to have purchased a mid-level cooking skill—
Jiang Cha rested her head on Ning Hongze's shoulder.
She is six years old now.
I can't hold them in my arms like I did when I was little anymore, but that's okay, I can carry them on my back.
Ah Ze is too thin; he can't gain weight no matter how much he eats. His shoulders are all bone, and they feel uncomfortable.
“We need to let Aze rest occasionally, and change things up.”
Zhang Rui rubbed Jiang Cha's head. "Cha Cha, do you want to get down? Uncle Aze will get tired."
"Sister, I'm not tired, not at all." Hearing my uncle's two words made me feel mentally exhausted.
This is indeed a hurdle.
Ning Hong's expression flashed with a hint of embarrassment.
If you really want to count, he really is Acha's uncle, even though they are not related by blood.
Having been together for so long, Jiang Cha naturally understood his feelings and couldn't help but chuckle on his back.
Unfortunately, the age gap is too large, so Ning Hongze can only wait.
At the very least—she should be at least eighteen years old.
If only this were in ancient times, she could marry him at fourteen.
So eager to get married!
The three of them walked inside while talking.
It's 6 p.m., and at this time of day, there aren't many people inside; only a few tables are occupied.
Zhang Rui had reserved a table early in the morning, a window seat.
This restaurant is on the sixteenth floor, and from here you can see the bustling nightlife of Beijing.
So, after 8 p.m., this place is packed.
However, considering that Acha needed to rest early, she set the time for 6 o'clock.
"Mom, I want a banana split and ice cream." Jiang Cha opened the menu and saw ice cream as the first thing she saw. She immediately asked for it. Anyway, she's just a child now and she's not afraid of gaining weight.
"Okay, but we need to eat something proper first."
