After Shi Chu traveled through time, she found herself holding a birthday cake in her hand. She thought about it and found that the cake was made by the original owner herself, just to give a surprise to the person she loved.
However, Shi Chu knew that only the original owner herself cared about this "surprise", the person she liked and other people didn't care at all. This cake, which she had practiced in the cake shop for several days in advance and spent a whole day today to make, did not enter anyone's mouth or enjoy its deliciousness, because it was used for a prank and was smashed by the people attending the birthday party, and it was all wasted.
The person the original owner liked was the neighbor's brother Feng Rui. Feng Rui had been a top student since he was young. He was handsome and cool. He had always been the school's most handsome boy. After entering the society and working, he was still an elite and was praised by everyone.
The original owner was three years younger than Feng Rui, but she had fallen in love with this neighbor brother since high school. For this reason, she studied hard, got admitted to the university he attended, and worked hard to enter the company where he worked, and she succeeded.
Feng Rui was too dazzling. Even though the original owner liked him, she didn't dare to confess to him, for fear that they wouldn't even be able to be friends if her confession failed. So she stayed by his side silently, hoping to fall in love with him in a subtle way, like boiling a frog in warm water.
Feng Rui didn't know if he had noticed the original owner's thoughts. Anyway, he was quite gentle to the original owner. When the original owner asked him for help with homework during school, he would patiently teach him. When the original owner encountered difficulties at work, he would also help. Sometimes when they met on the way to and from get off work, he would even let the original owner take his car...
Because of his actions, the original owner secretly felt that he treated her differently. He was cold to others, but gentle and patient to herself. So the original owner always felt that she could slowly win Feng Rui's heart and be with him, so she treated Feng Rui better and better: she sent him meals under the pretext of making an extra portion, deliberately went to his house under the pretext of encountering difficulties at work, and then cleaned his house under the pretext of being annoyed; even when his mother was sick and he was on a business trip and couldn't go home, the original owner volunteered to go and take care of her carefully...
The original owner had been devoted to him for two years, thinking that their relationship would naturally develop. After all, what she did were almost the duties of a wife and daughter-in-law, and Feng Rui never refused her. Doesn't that mean tacit consent
However, unfortunately, this was all the original owner's wishful thinking, because suddenly one day, Feng Rui fell in love with the company chairman's precious daughter who had returned from studying abroad!
The original owner was shocked. She went to Feng Rui in panic to ask for an explanation. However, Feng Rui said that it was his freedom to date anyone he wanted. The original owner blurted out: What about me
Feng Rui was puzzled and said that he had never confirmed a romantic relationship with her and didn't know why she misunderstood.
The original owner was speechless, because Feng Rui had never confirmed their relationship with her, and what she thought was a tacit understanding between the two of them was all her wishful thinking. Now that Feng Rui was in a relationship, she didn't even have the right to ask him for an explanation.
The original owner was hit hard, and what made her even more devastated was that someone overheard what she said when she went to Feng Rui to ask for an explanation. So soon, rumors spread in the company that she had no self-awareness and wanted to compete with the chairman's daughter for a man. Her colleagues secretly despised and ridiculed her, saying that she was a toad wanting to eat swan meat, and she was shameless. She didn't know where she got the confidence to compete with the rich and beautiful girl. Any man with eyes would not choose her...
The original owner couldn't stand the rumors in the company, so he resigned from the company in despair and returned home in despair.
But the embarrassing thing was that Feng Rui was also her neighbor, so every time the beautiful, rich and white lady came to visit the Feng family, the original owner would suffer again. There were also rumors among the neighbors. After all, everyone knew that the original owner had taken the initiative to clean Feng Rui's house and take care of Feng Rui's mother. At that time, everyone thought that the two were a couple who were sure to become a couple. Who knew that Feng Rui suddenly fell in love with the big boss's daughter and abandoned the original owner
So, in addition to secretly envying Feng Rui for his good luck in hooking up with the boss's daughter, everyone also secretly despised the original owner's shameless behavior of offering to work as a free babysitter for others. Families with daughters even used her as a counterexample, educating their daughters not to be as lowly as the original owner...
Now the original owner and her parents could no longer hold their heads up in front of their neighbors. The original owner also suffered from depression. In order to prevent her condition from getting worse, her parents had to hurriedly sell the house and move away.
After Shi Chu received the original owner's memories, it was even more impossible for him to give the cake that he had carefully prepared for so long to those people to ruin. It was a sin to not eat the good cake but to use it to smash people and play with it, wasting food.
So Shu Shichu turned around and went home immediately.
It happened to be the weekend, and Shu's parents didn't have to go to work and were at home. When they saw Shu Shichu coming back with the cake, they asked in confusion: "Why are you back? Did you forget to bring anything?"
"No, I'm not planning to go now." Shu Shichu took off her high heels, put on slippers, brought the cake back and put it on the dining table.
Shu's mother asked, "Why didn't you go? Didn't you say that celebrating someone's birthday means making the cake yourself?"
Father Shu thought more and asked, "Did Feng Rui make you angry?"
Shu's father and mother also knew that their daughter liked Feng Rui, and they had no objection to it. After all, Feng Rui had been excellent since he was a child, and he was indeed a good candidate for son-in-law.
Shu Shichu nodded and answered decisively: "Dad, Mom, I don't like Feng Rui anymore. Although he is excellent, he is not suitable for me."
"Why do you suddenly stop liking it? You were so carefully making the cake and were looking forward to celebrating Feng Rui's birthday just now." Shu's mother was very puzzled.
"Because I just found out that he is keeping me as a backup. If there is a better choice, he will abandon me without hesitation; if not, then he can only choose me. Mom and Dad, is your daughter so humble that she can only let him choose?" Shu Shichu said directly and frankly.
At this moment, the faces of Shu's father and mother suddenly turned cold. Shu's father said with a dark face: "I didn't expect Feng Rui to be such a person! No wonder he always had a cold face towards us. I thought he was just like this. It turns out that he doesn't take us seriously at all?"
Shu's mother was also angry and said, "I didn't forget to give him a portion of the delicious food I had at home. What a pity! If I had known, I would have given it to the dog instead of giving it to him!"
"Okay, Mom and Dad, now that we know his true identity, we will just stop associating with his family from now on." Shu Shichu hurriedly comforted his parents.
"Come here, this is a cake I made by myself. It's delicious. Let's eat it ourselves." Shu Shichu said, and began to cut the cake. The ingredients of this cake were carefully selected by the original owner. They were real ingredients. How could it not be delicious
