3 Matcha Cake
◎No.◎
"Ouch——" The girl covered her chin with her hand, feeling so painful that she wanted to cry.
"You..." Gao Shuai reached out his hand, but paused awkwardly mid-air. He asked anxiously, "Gan Mei, how are you? Are you hurt?"
The girl looks weak and delicate, and I don’t know if it will be serious after being hit!
"I..." The girl shook her head and whispered, "It's okay..."
only……
She thought to herself: How embarrassing! I've embarrassed myself in front of him again!
Why is she in such a hurry?
Why didn't I see him getting up?!
well!
Looking at the little head drooping in front of him, Gao Shuai glanced at the familiar pink lunch box lying on the ground and asked carefully, "Do you want to stand up first?"
This way, he could help her pick up the lunch box.
"No." The girl finally raised her head, but decisively rejected his proposal.
Gao Shuai was stunned for a moment, looking at her in confusion - Don't... this...
"I've wanted to try it before..." Losing her confident demeanor, the girl suddenly became shy. "I wonder if the food will taste better sitting under this tree?"
The breeze is gentle and the air is fragrant.
She bit her lip and said longingly, "I didn't have time to appreciate it yesterday, but after a closer look today, it's really beautiful! Gao Shuai, do you like the scenery here too?"
The girl turned her head to look at him from the side, which was like a sweet, elegant and touching picture.
In a quiet corner of the campus, the heart of the young man in white clothes was inexplicably beating.
The boy looked away uncomfortably, swallowed his saliva secretly, quickly stood up, finally picked up the pink lunch box lying alone on the ground, and handed it to the girl.
"Eat, don't be hungry."
It’s not a pleasant feeling to be hungry!
The girl blinked, reached out to take the lunch box, and didn't ask about the previous topic. She just asked curiously, "Gao Shuai, aren't you going to sit down?"
Did she disturb him?!
As if he could see what the girl was thinking, Gao Shuai shook his head, picked up the mineral water bottle thrown aside, and slowly sat down.
"you……"
"you……"
The two spoke at the same time, slightly surprised, and then closed their mouths at the same time.
Gao Shuai unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, gulped down a large gulp, raised his hand and casually wiped the corner of his mouth. He was the first to speak, "It's quiet here. When I encounter a difficult problem, I like to stay here and think for a while. It helps me sort out my thoughts. Of course..." He smiled, "The scenery is really beautiful!"
"oh--"
Hearing him say this, Gan Mei nodded. She really heard the answer, but for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
The way Gao Shuai spoke just now had a mature and steady temperament, which made her feel that there seemed to be a long distance between them - there was something in between that was difficult to cross.
The lunch box in my hand felt a bit heavy.
Thinking of the purpose of this, she shook off her annoying thoughts, hurriedly opened the lunch box, and asked with a smile: "Gao Shuai, look, what is this?"
A fresh and fragrant smell hits my nose, a light tea scent mixed with the sweet scent of cream...
"This is……"
"Matcha cake!" Gan Mei smiled. "Isn't it fragrant? How about it? Do you want to try it?"
Looking at the interwoven beauty of dark green and snow-white in the pink box, Gao Shuai took a deep breath, resisted his urge, and asked half-confusedly and half-curiously, "Why isn't this cream melting?"
In his opinion, shouldn't cakes be kept in the refrigerator?
"Don't worry, my lunch box can keep both hot and cold temperatures for four or five hours, no problem at all!" Gan Mei smiled, "You'll know after you try it."
Gao Shuai curled his lips slightly: To him, all food is tempting, and it is difficult for him to refuse.
"Thanks!"
Gao Shuai picked up a piece of beautifully shaped and neatly cut matcha cake from the pink lunch box and took a bite. It was indeed delicate, soft, sweet but not greasy.
The girl's eyes were filled with anticipation. He understood what she meant and said with a smile, "It's delicious." As he spoke, he quickly finished a piece of cake in a few bites.
"Did your mother do this?" he asked.
"Yeah." The girl nodded vigorously and picked up a piece of cake to eat. "Every time after lunch, I'm actually already 80% full. My mom remembers that I loved desserts when I was a child, and now that she has time, she always makes different kinds of desserts for me. But..."
Now that I have grown up, I am not as greedy as I was when I was little, but... I have too many concerns and I only try a few things. How can I be so carefree and casual?
Gao Shuai understood: She said before that she was afraid of gaining weight.
For him now, such troubles are almost incomprehensible, because...
"Gao Shuai." she shouted.
He looked at her.
"This..." The girl moved closer, handed the lunch box to him, and said with a sweet smile, "Since you said it's delicious, then... I should be able to finish it!"
"Finished eating?"
Here we go again!
"Yeah." The girl nodded vigorously. "To tell you the truth, I really can't eat so much, but... I can't let my mother down, so..."
Looking at the two remaining pieces of cake in the box, Gao Shuai asked doubtfully, "No one in your class likes to eat it?"
Otherwise, why would she go so far?
"Girls probably all love to eat them! But..." Gan Mei tilted her head and thought for a moment before speaking truthfully, "From what I've observed, they eat very little for lunch. They always say they're afraid of gaining weight. So, when they see these desserts, they're probably avoiding them as much as possible."
It really is...
Gao Shuai shook his head secretly in his heart, and without saying a word, he took the pink lunch box, picked up the matcha cake, and started to eat it.
He thought: Being a girl is really not easy!
Although he didn't understand their troubles, for something as simple as eating, since it was Gan Mei's request, he was happy to help.
Seeing him eating with such relish and sweetness, for some reason, a faint sense of satisfaction welled up in my heart.
Gao Shuai…the way he eats – so handsome!
Only then did she realize how high his nose was, how distinct his jawline was, how beautiful his mouth was, and his eyelashes, like fans, long and thick - this profile...
“It’s so beautiful!”
"What did you say?" Gao Shuai asked after finishing the last piece of cake and not hearing what she said clearly.
"I..." Gan Mei didn't know what she had said. She quickly took back her lunch box and changed the subject, "I...you...I wanted to ask, will you come here tomorrow?"
She was wondering yesterday whether she would meet him again today, and finally, she did!
The past two days could be considered a coincidence, but tomorrow was not necessarily the case. She really needed his help, and...she was also looking forward to seeing him tomorrow.
"Tomorrow?" Gao Shuai turned his head to look at the sky and raised an eyebrow. "You're going to come to school tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow..." Gan Mei muttered, and suddenly realized what she had asked. She lowered her head and bit her lip, "I... Tomorrow is the weekend, so I won't come."
How could she even forget to rest tomorrow? !
Really...
How embarrassing!
Gao Shuai smiled cheerfully and replied, "I've been here almost every day for the past two months at school. If nothing unexpected happens on Monday, I'll definitely be here."
"Yeah." She nodded slightly and responded softly.
"Sweet." He called her.
"What?" She raised her head unconsciously.
"I haven't said it yet...Nice to meet you!" He smiled.
"Me too." Her face flushed shyly as she quickly replied, "Nice to meet you—Gao Shuai...classmate."
The wind on campus blows gently.
When you are close to it, it looks like a photo framed in a frame, youthful and energetic.
Gradually it goes away, being included in a huge and moving picture, colorful and gorgeous.
There is a sweet scent in the wind.
