Congyou thing came to an end.
Maybe that day Zhou Yizhi told him in a very serious tone that he already has someone he likes, which made him feel that there is no hope for him to continue chasing him.
And Miss Zhou is not short of money, even if Cong You chartered a ferris wheel, Hot Wheels, to create romance for her, it was nothing new to her.
In other words, if she doesn't like Cong You at all, Cong You has nothing to do.
Because of this matter, Cong You was very frustrated for a while, he began to walk around Zhou Yizhi in school very interestingly, and it became similar to the situation in his previous life. He probably told the group of friends around him, but those friends never appeared in front of Zhou Yizhi again.
In addition, Cong You also felt that Zhou Yizhi had changed a lot. He always thought that after Zhou Yizhi knew about his bet on the forum, even if he was not so sad, at least he would have the anger of being trampled on his self-esteem. I slapped myself.
But unexpectedly Zhou Yizhi did not.
When he was having dinner that day, the Zhou Yizhi he saw seemed to be much more mature and calm than the girl he had been chasing for more than a month, and there was something more in her unfathomably beautiful eyes that he couldn't understand.
Cong You is still a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, he doesn't know how to describe the changes in Zhou Yizhi,
He just regretted it, if he hadn't bet against Zhou Yizhi in the beginning, if he had chased her seriously in the beginning, maybe there would be another ending.
When he first made a bet to pursue Zhou Yizhi, he didn't know Zhou Yizhi at all. He only knew that she always had a frosty face and an unattainable appearance. The boys joked that she was a white swan and a luxury. If you are strong enough, just magnify the words to make the white swan bow.
But then gradually got close to Zhou Yizhi, and even went to her house a few times, only to find that Zhou Yizhi, the butler and Aunt He lived in the huge, luxurious and beautiful villa of the Zhou family. It was empty, reminding him of a flashy and cold castle .
For some reason, Cong You subconsciously didn't tell his cronies about these things. He also joked that "Sister Zhou's family is very beautiful", when someone asked him if he had been chasing Zhou Yizhi for so long, if he had met her parents, Cong You also changed the subject, "Sister Zhou hasn't let go yet, but with my charm , eight/nine is not far from ten."
Perhaps he knew subconsciously at the time that saying these things would hurt Zhou Yizhi's self-esteem the most.
It's just that things have come to this point, and there is no other ending.
Cong You's passionate pursuit is like a short autumn, and the chapter turns quickly.
After school that day, Zhou Yizhi took Xue Xi to the cake shop again. She and Xue Xi were both wearing school uniforms, which looked like ordinary blue and white school uniforms at school, but once the two of them went out alone, they looked It looks like a couple outfit.
Zhou Yizhi secretly felt a little happy, imitating his brother to pull his zipper to the top.
In the same cake shop, Zhou Yizhi was much more proficient this time, and he didn't ask his brother to help him at all.
Just beat the eggs and squeeze the cream by myself from beginning to end.
She was in a hurry, some powder was stained on her face, her sleeves were rolled up high, and her slender fingers were covered with flour, but she did it very hard. Maybe he didn't grasp the force properly, the flour suddenly floated up and penetrated into the tip of her nose, Zhou Yizhi was choked immediately, turned around in a hurry and ran to the corner, coughing until tears came out: "Cough cough cough... cough cough."
Xue Xi hurriedly washed his hands, walked over and patted her on the back, then took out a tissue and handed it to her, helplessly said: "You are not good at doing this, let me help you, when you give it away, just say that you did it That's it."
He knew that Zhou Yizhi didn't give it to Cong You, but he knew that Zhou Yizhi was learning to open up and make new friends recently, and he had already gotten along with some girls in his class. He thought that Zhou Yizhi made these small cakes to take to school and distribute them to the girls of.
Zhou Yizhi wiped away the tears he coughed up with a tissue, and said to Xue Xi, "Don't look at me! Cough cough...cough...turn your back."
Xue Xi chuckled, turned his back, and continued to pat her on the back with his backhand.
Then Zhou Yizhi faced the wall and exhaled a few times with his nose in a very inconspicuous way, trying to spray out the flour he sucked in.
How embarrassing, she thought, blushing. After her breathing was finally smooth, Zhou Yizhi turned around, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and wet flour on her face, she said to Xue Xi: "Brother, you make your own. Leave me alone, what are you supposed to do, don't help me."
She continued to walk towards the workbench. Xue Xi walked up to her, looked at the sky, and said, "But if you do it yourself, I'm afraid it will be dark after you finish."
"It's dark, let's be dark. There's nothing to do today." Zhou Yizhi pushed Xue Xi away with his shoulders, and said to him again: "I'll do it myself, don't help me."
Xue Xi couldn't help but glanced at her, as if wondering why she insisted on making a complete cake by herself. But seeing that she was so focused on doing this, he took a step to the side and moved the dry flour that could easily choke her.
What Xue Xi said was right, when Zhou Yizhi finished making a cake completely, the innocence would already be dark.
It's past eight o'clock in the evening.
What made Zhou Yizhi feel ashamed was that the cake was not very well done. It was crooked when it was taken out of the oven, like the Leaning Tower of Pisa that had been kicked. After being squeezed up, a few flowers of indistinguishable shape lay listlessly on the leaning tower. The flowers, big and small, were evenly distributed, looking like some kind of big cake.
Zhou Yizhi couldn't bear to look directly at him, staring at the cake he made, feeling the urge to start all over again.
She couldn't help but glance at her brother, who started work after her, but was almost finished.
He lowered his dark eyes.
The slender finger bones held the inverted triangle for milking cream, and squeezed out beautiful flowers one after another along the edge of the cake. The outermost circle is orange-yellow like the setting sun. When it reaches the inside, it is decorated with some carved chocolates, which looks no different from the cakes on the shelves of cake shops.
After finishing, Xue Xi turned on the tap, washed his hands, and turned his head to look at Zhou Yizhi.
Her eyes fell on the cake in front of her.
Xue Xi: ...
Zhou Yizhi: ...
Zhou Yizhi's face turned red immediately, and he covered his own cake with both hands, and said fiercely: "Don't look at it!"
Xue Xi turned his head, but he still couldn't hide the uncontrollable smile in his eyes, he said in a low voice, "Don't look."
Zhou Yizhi wished he could find a hole in the ground to get in, but he couldn't help but secretly looked at the cake his brother made. Counting the last time, it was only the second time he came here, but how could he make a cake that could be put on the display shelf? ? She asked, "Have you ever made a cake before?"
After Xue Xi came to Zhou's house, neither the housekeeper nor Zhou Yizhi seldom asked about his past affairs. This is Zhou Yizhi's first advance.
Xue Xi walked to the faucet, turned on the faucet, rinsed the cream on his hands, squeezed out some hand sanitizer, and continued to wash his hands.
Zhou Yizhi's attention fell on his slender fingers involuntarily.
It seemed that after being silent for a long time, Xue Xi glanced at Zhou Yi and said calmly, "Well, I worked part-time at a cake shop during the winter vacation last year. The weather was cold during the winter vacation. This kind of cake can be kept for three or four days and is relatively popular, so I worked part-time. Sometimes, there are quite a lot of orders in a day.”
That's why he can be so proficient in extruding perfect cake flowers in a short period of time.
Zhou Yizhi looked up at him, the tall boy looked calm, but Zhou Yizhi's heart felt sore for no reason. In her previous life, she didn't ask at all because she didn't care. In this life, she just reunited with him, and she didn't ask until now because she didn't dare to mention it, for fear of hurting his self-esteem as a young man.
Now that I think about it, although his tone was downplaying, in the past three years, after his family was destroyed, he must have suffered a lot, but he never said these things, it seemed that those things were insignificant at all, and he could turn them over with one hand. So those who knew about the misfortune in his family, even if they knew that he was difficult, would not feel pity or sympathy for him.
He probably doesn't even want to see it in other people's faces.
In the last life, he himself may be the heaviest straw that weighs on his brother's fate.
Fortunately, I am back now.
Zhou Yizhi suppressed the slight sourness in his nasal cavity, did not continue this topic, but asked Xue Xi: "Do you think this cake of mine can be seen, and will the person who receives the gift be unhappy?"
Xue Xi looked at the cake in front of her. It was really crooked and unattractive, and even a small piece was broken after it was taken out of the oven, but her fingers were still stained with flour, and her slender fingers were still red from the cold from the tap water.
He walked over and turned the faucet to the right, and after the water was hot, he took Zhou Yizhi's hand and rinsed it under the faucet. He wiped some hand sanitizer on the back of her hand and motioned her to wash it.
"No." Xue Xi looked at Zhou Yizhi and said, "The friends who receive your cake will definitely be very happy."
It's too late for him to be jealous, how dare that person dislike the cake she made
Hearing what he said, Zhou Yizhi felt a little embarrassed, curled her lips slightly, and washed her hands seriously. Today is my brother's birthday, she dragged him to make a cake, didn't he understand that it was for him
"The friend who got the cake," he called himself, subtly and blushingly.
He also pretended not to know and wanted to make a cake for himself.
Fortunately, I persevered. I made the whole cake by myself from beginning to end.
Zhou Yizhi thought happily, and after washing his hands, he asked the lady in the cake shop to wrap the cake for him.
Xue Xi's one was beautifully made, and she packed it up and took it home with her.
The two of them returned to the car with freshly baked cakes. Zhou Yizhi stopped talking after getting in the car and sent text messages mysteriously. She asked Aunt He if she was ready for her. Aunt He typed slowly. After a while, I sent a text message: It's ready, miss.
Zhou Yizhi became a little excited, trying not to show himself, pretending to be calm and looking at the night scene outside.
But after a while, she couldn't help but look at her brother from the corner of her eye.
She felt that her texting was so obvious that her brother should have guessed that he was helping her prepare a birthday surprise. At this time, he should be trying to keep his expression calm and pretend not to know.
But he never expected that the boy next to him was holding his schoolbag, and his eyes were lightly closed, as if he was a little tired and fell asleep.
Zhou Yizhi: ...
what happened? Isn't he excited? How can this still sleep? !
But Zhou Yizhi didn't have the heart to disturb him, but looked at him with a smile for a while, the neon lights passing by outside the car window shone on his handsome face, leaving a line on his straight nose bridge and light-colored thin lips Dao of color came, and occasionally a few shadows flew over, making his handsome face half-lit and half-dark.
Zhou Yizhi couldn't help raising his hand, and cast the shadow of his own hand on his face in boredom.
But soon, the car stopped not far from the villa.
Xue Xi opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Yizhi.
Zhou Yizhi hastily withdrew his hand guiltily.
The two got out of the car together, Xue Xi carried their schoolbags and their cakes, walked behind Zhou Yi, entered the white fence gate, and walked on the cobblestone path.
Xue Xi lowered his head slightly, but suddenly he felt that the lights on the ground seemed a little different from usual. The warm yellow street lights in the yard were still on, but there were oval and round colorful lights on the cobblestones. The light is like oil paint.
He raised his head subconsciously, and his footsteps stopped suddenly.
There are many balloons hanging at the entrance of the villa. Looking from the floor-to-ceiling windows, it seems that there are also many balloons flying in the villa. It looks like——
A small birthday celebration.
Xue Xi was a little stunned, and then looked down at the cake in his hand, as if realizing something, he stopped breathing slightly, and raised his eyes to look at Zhou Yizhi.
Zhou Yizhi, who was walking in front of him, hadn't stepped on the steps yet, she seemed to hear him stop, so she went up a step, stood on the steps and turned to look at him.
There was a smile in her eyes.
