After taking a taxi to the young mother's location, Lai Yang discovered that it was a small cake shop.
She was busy at the counter. When she saw Lai Yang coming, she immediately wiped her hands with a handkerchief, walked forward with gratitude, took Lai Yang in, and kept saying thank you.
Through chatting, I learned that her name is Tian Xiaozhi, she is from Suzhou, and this shop is opened by herself. As she spoke, she brought some snacks to Lai Yang and asked about Tian Jing.
Lai Yang said she was going on a business trip soon and would come over when she came back.
"Oh yeah, how's the baby?"
"The fever has gone down, but I have to be isolated for a few days. My mother is helping to take care of me."
Lai Yang said "oh" and took a bite of the snack. It tasted really good.
"Thank you so much for the last visit. Later, the doctor said that if we waited a little longer at night, my son might become confused due to the fever. Children's illnesses are sometimes very urgent nowadays. They are too young and too fragile... Thank you so much."
"It's okay. I feel embarrassed that you keep thanking me so much. It's fate."
"It's fate. Oh, by the way, I want to send you and your girlfriend a cake as a token of my gratitude. What flavor do you like? Do you want a specific design?"
Lai Yang was stunned, and suddenly he remembered that Tian Jing was leaving tomorrow, so it would be nice to send her a cake.
When thinking of this, Lai Yang thought of Yuan Shengda again. She loves sweets, especially milk tea and cakes.
Anyway, now that Song Wenyunlu is gone, I can only hold open mics in the next few days. I can buy a plane ticket tomorrow to go back and see my second mother and comfort my childhood friend.
Thinking of this, Lai Yang smiled.
"How about this, Sister Tian, can you make two for me? I'll pay for the extra one myself."
"Oh, I won't do any of it if you say that! You're too polite."
"Hahaha! Okay, I'll take it for free. Both portions don't have to be too big, just the size of a palm, so it's easy to carry."
"Then make a mousse cake. Is there anything written on it?"
Lai Yang thought for a few seconds and said, "For one, I'll write... Sunny, as a gift to my childhood friend. For the other one, can you write Bon voyage?"
Sister Tian chuckled and asked him if he was her girlfriend who was sending her on a business trip.
Lai Yang smiled and blushed a little, but still nodded.
"Good luck on your trip isn't very good, so why not just write about missing you?"
"Well, that's a bit explicit. We haven't confirmed our relationship yet..."
Sister Tian looked at melancholy, and after a few seconds she said, "How about this, I'll make a red bean mousse one, she will definitely understand what I mean, and it won't embarrass you."
"Red beans... lovesickness? Oh, this is a good implication."
Lai Yang was a little excited. Sister Tian asked him when he would need it. It was confirmed to be tomorrow morning. She asked Lai Yang to come and get it at five in the morning so that she could make a fresh one.
… …
In order to give this surprise, Lai Yang deliberately did not send any messages to Tian Jing for a whole day.
The next morning, before five o'clock, Lai Yang held an umbrella, took a taxi to Sister Tian's bakery, and picked up the mousse cake that represented lovesickness.
He calculated the time it would take Tianjing to get to the airport by car. She would leave at 7:20 at the latest, so she would definitely not miss the flight.
Lai Yang hurried and arrived at Tian Jing's door at around 6:30. He turned the hand holding the cake over and knocked gently on the door with the other hand.
My heart was full of anticipation, and I wondered what Tianjing's reaction would be when she saw the cake.
But after knocking on the door several times, there was no response from inside.
Lai Yang felt a little disappointed. He paused for a few seconds, then knocked on the door and shouted a few times. But this time he was completely disappointed. There was really no movement in the house.
She's gone.
Lai Yang's mood instantly fell. He should have sent the message in advance last night. It seems that there is still not enough fate between him and Tian Jing.
When they went downstairs and walked into the courtyard of the community, it was already dawn, foggy everywhere, and there was a lot of water on the stone floor. Lai Yang lost his concentration and slipped, and fell to the ground with a thump, with the cake box in his hand smashed to pieces.
He felt as if his heart was pierced by a thorn, and looked at the cake with trembling eyes.
The box was broken into pieces, and the pink cake was all over the floor. The red bean on the top had lost its luster, and it was like a lump, deeply embedded in Lai Yang's heart.
"grass!"
Lai Yang couldn't help but curse loudly, feeling extremely aggrieved, but after cursing he calmed down again. He really couldn't blame anyone for this matter, it could only be said to be God's will.
All I can say is... he and tranquility are not meant to be together.
He squatted down, picked up the box and prepared to clean the ground, but at this moment, suddenly a beam of car light broke through the fog and reflected on Lai Yang's face.
He stretched out his hand to block the light, and then a figure walked towards him against the light. When she walked in, Lai Yang was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, because the graceful figure in front of him was Tian Jing.
"Laiyang? You, when did you come?"
There was light and fog around her, flickering and spinning. It was so unreal and yet so real that Lai Yang wanted to cry.
It turned out that they didn't have to leave. Tianjing should have left home a minute earlier and took the elevator directly to the underground parking lot in the community.
"Is this for me?"
Tian Jing squatted down and looked at the cake scattered on the ground with a complicated look.
Lai Yang suppressed his tears and said, "Oh~ It was originally sent to you, but it seems that you are not so lucky. The land god is shameless and snatched it away..."
Tian Jing looked at him with sad eyes. After a second or two, she actually stretched out her index finger, touched the top layer of cake, and then put it into her mouth.
This action shocked Lai Yang!
Seeing that Tian Jing was about to reach out and touch him again, Lai Yang grabbed her hand and said, "Stop! It's too dirty!"
“Not dirty, very sweet.”
"… "
"Laiyang, thank you for the cake."
Lai Yang's eyes suddenly turned red after hearing what Tian Jing said.
Then, she reached out and picked up the red bean on the cake, wiped off the mousse on it, and gently held it in her palm, then stood up and asked Lai Yang to wait.
She walked back to the car. The headlights were turned off and Lai Yang saw Li Rouhe in the driver's seat.
Tian Jing said something to her, then took something and walked back. When she handed it to Lai Yang, he saw clearly that it was a bank card.
"Originally, Xiao He wanted to talk to you after she sent me to the airport. Now that you're here, I'll give it to you directly."
"What do you mean? Jingjing, you're going to support me?"
Tian Jing smiled, and with this smile, she looked like a girl walking out of a painting. The fog seemed to have turned into powder, highlighting her ethereal aura.
"I want Yunbin to cooperate with you on a profit-sharing model in the future. As for the proportion, you can discuss it with me after you have thought it through. However, the rent for the past two years is a total of 196,400 yuan. I will pay you back first..."
"Jingjing, you..."
"I read the messages in the Wan Da group. They asked for venue rental at the beginning. To put it bluntly, they don't trust you... They don't trust me, but I do. I'll share the profits with you first. I've said that I'm behind you... Take this money. I hope you can make this thing a success."
Lai Yang was so shocked that he couldn't say anything. After a while, he looked down at the card in his hand and pursed his lips.
"What did I do in the past to make you treat me like this?"
Without waiting for Tian Jing to reply, Lai Yang looked up and asked again: "You will tell me the answer, right? When I am able to keep the people around me?"
"Yes, I will."
“Can I tell you after my cinema model is successful in October?”
Tian Jing smiled and nodded, said "goodbye", waved and turned away...
