After Zhan Xi moved into Room 802, Qingque Jiayuan, in addition to feeling the air of freedom, the most refreshing thing was that she no longer had to get up early!

I get up at 8 o'clock every day, wash my face, brush my teeth, put on makeup, go out for breakfast, and walk into the company in ten minutes. I also clock in earlier than most of my colleagues.

Her rice cooker, wok, bowls and chopsticks arrived one after another, and she also bought all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but she only cooked frozen dumplings at home twice and ate takeout most of the time.

For his first official cooking, Zhan Xi decided to schedule it for a sunny weekend.

This Saturday, she and Wang He are going to meet. Wang He has been much more active these days. He chats with her every day, asking her what she wants to eat, what her hobbies are, where she has traveled, etc. Their conversations are always in the form of questions and answers. Wang He asks and Zhan Xi answers. Zhan Xi has never asked about Wang He's situation because she has no motivation.

Chatting with Xiaoyu is different. Zhanxi chats with Xiaoyu for more than an hour every night, asking him what he did and what he ate that day, and telling him about the interesting things he encountered in the company.

She showed him a picture of her cubicle desk, on which were her water cup, computer, file rack, small notebook... There were many sticky notes on the partition, and in the corner there was a desktop Christmas tree and a can of strawberry milk.

Her cup was a pink cartoon style, with a white kitten lying on the lid. Luo Jingyu looked at the photo and thought that Teacher Egg was really cute.

In exchange, he would take pictures of the embossed flower accessories he made for her. Most of the time, they would be placed on the table, but for earrings, he would pick them up and hang them in the air for the picture, and then Zhan Xi would see his hands.

She didn't tell Xiaoyu that every time she saw his hands in a photo, she felt like she had won a prize.

His hands are so beautiful! So beautiful that... Zhan Xi would secretly observe the hands of other male colleagues in the company, including Lin Yan, and never found any hands that were more beautiful than Xiao Yu's.

Before I knew it, a week had passed.

On Friday morning, Luo Jingyu woke up and thought about it. He had not left the house except for going out to buy groceries every other day this week, and he had not even returned to his parents' house. Seeing that the next day was the weekend, he suddenly remembered that he had not fulfilled his promise to Teacher Jidan.

He was really tired from doing handicrafts from morning to night every day, so he decided to give himself half a day off to rest.

After looking through the stock at home, Luo Jingyu went out to buy some ingredients and bought two boxes of strawberries. After returning home, she started making the cake.

He hadn't baked a cake for a long time. After the first cake base was made, he leaned over to smell it. It smelled really good! But when he was applying the cream, he was unfamiliar with it and it turned out a little ugly.

In the past, when he made cakes, he never cared too much about the cream. He baked it for himself and ate it himself, as long as it tasted good. But this cake was for Mr. Egg, so in addition to being delicious, it also had to look good!

Luo Jingyu touched her chin and thought for a while, then decided to make a new one. As for this ugly cake, well... I'll give it to Gu Xinchi from 1501 next door. Although the little guy is a chatterbox, he's not annoying. However, I won't put the strawberries away, as they are all for Teacher Egg.

When applying cream to the second cake base, Luo Jingyu carved it meticulously, almost like he was doing hot flower decoration. At 2 pm, a beautiful strawberry cake was finally finished! Luo Jingyu looked at the cake and exhaled, wondering how to send it? Should I really call local express delivery? What if it gets damaged

He went to the balcony to look out at the office building and made a decision in his mind that he would send it himself.

After a ten-minute journey, Luo Jingyu, fully armed and carrying a box of cake, arrived downstairs in the building. He took the elevator to the floor where "Egg Pudding" worked, and after coming out, he observed and saw a password glass door. Not far behind the door was the front desk, where a girl was sitting.

Ah... Mr. Egg is working inside!

Thinking of this, Luo Jingyu started to get nervous, her heart started beating faster, and it took her a long time to move to the glass door.

He stared at the password pad on the door, not knowing which key to press. The girl at the front desk, Xiao Gong, finally noticed him, stood up and came to open the door.

The man in front of him was very tall, wearing a black shirt and black pants, and a black mask. Xiao Gong was a little wary and asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Luo Jingyu handed her the cake box, along with an A4 paper with the words he wrote on it:

To Miss Zhan, mobile number: 135xxx…, thank you.

He wrote very simply for fear of making more mistakes.

Xiao Gong took the cake box and paper, and laughed after looking at it: "It's Xiao Zhan's again? Did Lin Yan buy it? Didn't he just order milk tea for Xiao Zhan?"

Luo Jingyu: “?”

He read the girl's lip movements and wondered who "Lin Yan" was? Was she a man or a woman? Did she buy milk tea for Teacher Dandan

He simply nodded, not daring to stay any longer, and turned to go to the elevator.

Xiao Gong felt puzzled. He carried the cake to the HR office and saw several female colleagues happily drinking the milk tea that Lin Yan had bought for them. Yuan Sichen was still teasing Zhan Xi: "Hey, Xiao Zhan, how do you feel about Lin Yan?"

Xiao Gong came over and interrupted: "I don't know how Xiao Zhan feels, I only know that Lin Yan is so sweet!"

Zhan Xi had a terrible headache. She had actually told Lin Yan many times not to treat him to afternoon tea anymore, but Lin Yan said that he was treating the entire HR department, not just one person in particular.

"A certain person" was speechless. She refused to drink the milk tea that Lin Yan offered her, but her colleagues were drinking it enthusiastically. In this situation, Zhan Xi didn't know how to deal with it.

Zhan Xi felt even more embarrassed after hearing what Xiao Gong said. Xiao Gong handed the box to her with a smile: "Here, there's not only milk tea, but also Lin Yan's loving takeaway!"

Zhan Xi wailed: "No way?"

She took the box and casually placed it on the shared cabinet. Yuan Sichen curiously opened the lid and exclaimed, "Wow! It's a strawberry cake! It looks delicious!"

Zhan Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she almost rushed over to see. It was really a square strawberry cake! The cream was covered with a layer of fresh strawberries. She asked Xiao Gong, "Where's the delivery note?"

"There is no delivery note." Xiao Gong spread his hands, "Oh! There is a handwritten paper, but I threw it in the trash can."

"Which trash can?" Zhan Xi asked anxiously.

Xiao Gong said, "The one next to the front desk."

Zhan Xi was about to leave, but turned back and shouted at Yuan Sichen, "Sister Sichen, don't touch my cake!"

Yuan Sichen smiled and said, "I know! It was given by Lin Yan, no one dares to touch it."

Zhan Xi dug out the crumpled paper from the trash can, and Xiao Gong asked awkwardly, "Is this... important?"

"No, it's okay, I'll just take a look." Zhan Xi unfolded the paper and saw the neat handwriting on it, like that of an elementary school student. He understood everything.

However, she would never think of who was delivering the cake. She tried to smooth out and fold the white paper. Zhan Xi returned to the large open room and said to Yuan Sichen, "Sister Sichen, let's eat the cake together. Just leave a quarter for me. I can't finish it all by myself."

When Yuan Sichen heard this, he happily went to the tea room to find a fruit knife. Zhan Xi looked at the strawberry cake and was suddenly very moved.

Xiaoyu is such a fool. He didn't even tell her. Did he want to give her a surprise

This is a cake he made himself! This kid... Really, so annoying.

Zhan Xi held it in for the entire afternoon and night, but Xiaoyu still didn't send her a WeChat message. Finally, Zhan Xi couldn't hold it in any longer and took the initiative to send it to him.

Egg Pudding: Xiaoyu, thank you for your cake, it is really very very delicious!

Big Fish: I told you, it's delicious. I'm not lying to you. [grin]

Egg Pudding: Why didn’t you tell me you sent me the cake

What a big fish: I'm nervous.

Egg pudding: What are you nervous about

Big Fish: I'm afraid you'll find me annoying.

Egg Pudding: How could I bother you? You are so cute! [Kiss]

What a big fish: [Surprised][Surprised][Surprised]

Egg Pudding: Let me tell you something. I'm the one who's nervous. [Pouting]

What a big fish: What’s the matter

Egg Pudding: I’m going on a blind date tomorrow too! ! ! Woo woo woo woo! [crying]

Luo Jingyu looked at this sentence, and his heart suddenly blocked. He thought of what the girl said in the afternoon, and asked hesitantly -

What a Big Fish: Is his surname Lin

Egg Pudding: Huh? No, why do you ask

Now, she couldn’t make up any more lies. Luo Jingyu was so anxious that she was sweating all over her forehead.

Big Fish: My friend helped deliver the cake. He told me that someone gave you milk tea. His surname seemed to be Lin. He heard it.

Egg Pudding: Uh... Lin is my colleague. He did deliver milk tea to our department today, but it was for the entire department, so everyone got some.

What a big fish: Is it a boy

Egg Pudding: Yes, it’s a boy.

Luo Jingyu huddled in the chair, put her two long legs up, and curled up into a ball.

What a Big Fish: You are going on a blind date tomorrow, is it someone else

Egg pudding: Well, my mom introduced it to me.

Luo Jingyu sent every message very carefully.

What a Big Fish: Are his conditions good

Egg Pudding: It’s okay. I think he is better than me. He has a master’s degree.

A master's degree... He is better at studying than Teacher Jidan.

Big Fish: You have very good conditions. I really think you are an excellent girl.

Egg Pudding: But I don’t think it’s possible.

What a big fish: Why

Egg Pudding: I don’t have any feelings for him.

Big Fish: You haven't met before, so you don't know how it feels, right? You'll know when you meet.

Egg Pudding: I have been chatting with him for almost three weeks.

Luo Jingyu blinked several times, feeling extremely puzzled.

Big Fish: Three weeks? I have been chatting with you for three weeks.

Egg Pudding: Oh, that's right! I've been chatting with you for almost three weeks!

Egg Pudding: Hahahaha! You make me sound like a sea king! Actually, I’m not! I didn’t talk to him much.

What a Big Fish: What is Aquaman

Egg Pudding: Aquaman is someone who has many partners at the same time!

What a big fish: Eat a whale.jpg

Egg Pudding: I am not Aquaman!!!

What a Big Fish: Teacher Egg, I would like to ask a question, is that okay

Egg pudding: You asked.

Big Fish: What are the conditions for the boy you like

Egg Pudding: Are you asking me what kind of boys I like

What a big fish: Yes.

Huh? Why did he ask this question

Zhan Xi looked at the screen of his mobile phone and thought about it. He thought that Xiaoyu always said that he was not good enough. It must be related to his height and appearance. He couldn't discourage him anymore! Zhan Xi decided not to mention the requirements related to appearance. Instead, he could say something similar to his personality to give him a little more confidence.

Egg Pudding: [shy] Not to mention appearance, as for personality, I like guys who are humorous, talkative and can make me laugh.

Egg Pudding: Xiaoyu, don't think I talk a lot when chatting with you. In fact, in the three-dimensional world, I don't talk much. I have been introverted since I was a child. If my boyfriend doesn't talk much, it will be a disaster for the two of us to be together. I have a feeling that tomorrow's blind date will be very awkward. Every time I go on a blind date, I hardly talk much. I am really a very boring person in real life.

Luo Jingyu didn't reply for a long time because he was already hit hard by the first reply.

—Be humorous, talk more, and make her laugh.

So girls have such requirements when looking for a partner? Shouldn't they look at whether the boy has a career, a house, or savings

No matter whether she talks too much or too little, Luo Jingyu can't speak at all, not a single word.

He buried his head in his arms and curled up even more.
