After entering the sweet story, I became the vicious ex-girlfriend of the boss

Chapter 30 Sweet and Sour

The old lady was a very good-tempered person. She was not arrogant and was very kind to her grandson and the people brought back by her grandchildren. At dinner, several people sat together around a dining table.

The after-meal snack was dessert, and everyone had one.

Gu Chuan looked at the plate of mousse cake in front of him, then looked at the old lady.

The old lady smiled and winked mischievously, "Eat it, no one will say anything to you."

When Gu Chuan was very young, he was warned by adults to learn to hide his preferences and not let others catch him anywhere where he could be approached and exploited.

He always does a good job.

On his seventh birthday, he stared at his birthday cake, but he couldn't act rashly and expose himself and his family to gossip.

Finally, after everyone had gone through the process and sang the birthday song, he walked forward calmly to cut the cake.

His parents asked him to give the cake to the elders first and then to the friends who came. He intentionally kept the last piece of cake for himself and decorated it with beautiful red strawberries.

When he was about to touch the last piece of cake, a boy rushed over and snatched it away.

The boy's parents said: "You have already eaten a piece of cake, give this piece of cake back to your brother."

"What does it matter?" The boy grinned, "My cousin doesn't like sweets anyway!"

The four-year-old boy was afraid that someone would snatch the cake away, so he opened his mouth and swallowed a big bite. The red strawberry also went into his mouth, making his cheeks bulge.

"Shen Xing, you are such a rude boy!"

Gu Chuan's parents smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Gu Chuan doesn't like these little things. It's okay to give them to your cousin."

"No, I have to teach him a lesson!"

The naughty monkey Shen Xing jumped up and down, avoiding his mother's hand that was trying to grab him, and the living room suddenly became a scene of chaos again.

The seven-year-old boy stood alone in the crowd, watching the lively scenes around him.

His parents were holding up their glasses and talking to other people, and people who came to the birthday party were congratulating him on his birthday, but they also wanted to make themselves familiar to his parents.

After his friend gave him a birthday present, he said something like an adult: "Gu Chuan, we are good friends, right? Then can you let your father and my father be friends?"

This is his birthday party, but it has nothing to do with him.

The old man, who had long since left the world of fame and fortune, could see things more clearly than others. Every time he came here, Gu Chuan would get dessert.

Besides from his grandmother, Gu Chuan had received more sweet and greasy food from another person.

Song Xueying said strangely: "So Gu Chuan also likes little things like this?"

Gu Chuan didn't say anything. He tasted the mousse cake and found that it had more sugar added to it.

Chu Yan laughed: "Shen Xing also likes sweet food."

"Really?" The old lady was quite surprised. "I thought this brat liked anything edible. It turns out he has a special preference for food."

Shen Xing put the strawberries on the cake into Chu Yan's plate. Hearing this, he pretended to complain and said, "Grandma, don't talk like I'm an easy-to-feed animal. Please save some face for me in front of my girlfriend."

The old lady laughed a few times and teased, "It turns out that a little monkey like you will also have a day to save face."

Chu Yan was curious, "Little monkey?"

The old lady smiled and said, "Yes, when Shen Xing was a kid, he climbed trees to get bird eggs, went into the water to catch fish, and once ran to the fields of the manor to catch loaches. There was nothing he dared not do, not to mention how much of a headache he was."

Chu Yan almost had a noisy little monkey in front of her eyes, with stars twinkling in her eyes. She looked at Shen Xing with great interest. Shen Xing suddenly had the illusion that he had become a monkey. He quickly said to the old lady: "Okay, grandma, I shouldn't have pulled the flowers in your garden when I was a child. I apologize to you. Please save some face for me in front of Yan Yan!"

Although the old lady was old, she could see clearly. She looked between Chu Yan and Shen Xing for a while. She sighed seriously, "It's true that there is always someone who can defeat someone else."

Song Xueying looked at Gu Chuan several times. She wanted to interrupt but didn't know what to say.

She had known before that Shen Xing was very capable of handling things, and now he was also good at gaining the favor of the elders. In comparison, Gu Chuan was much calmer.

Very strange.

Gu Chuan really liked this sweet taste in the past, but perhaps because many years have passed, the people who make desserts have changed, and he has also changed. The strawberry cake no longer tastes so delicious when he puts it in his mouth.

He raised his eyes slightly, and his gaze was attracted by the two strawberries leaning against each other in Chu Yan's plate.

It was my senior year of high school and everyone was nervous.

But his desk mate would always bring a small dessert and put it on the table every now and then, using the excuse that he couldn't finish it, push the cake in front of him.

After he finished off the "unfinished" food for her, there were more small things in her schoolbag.

Maybe it's red strawberries, maybe it's bread with blueberry jam, or maybe it's a cup of overly sweet soy milk.

He developed too many habits from her, and even had the courage to walk into a dessert shop for the first time at the age of eighteen and pointed at a piece of strawberry mousse.

The clerk said, "Do you want this?"

He blurted out: "My girlfriend likes this."

She received his little gift and really liked it.

Gu Chuan watched Chu Yan eat the strawberry that Shen Xing brought to her. The hand holding the spoon involuntarily increased its strength, his body slightly tensed, and his breathing became a little cold.

There was an indescribable thing like silk threads that was weaving a dense web around his heart little by little, and then tightening his heart little by little. Then, the emotions that were dormant in his heart, which could perhaps be called "reluctance", were all awakened, but they were trapped in the dense web and unable to escape, squeezing every beat of his heart little by little.

Chu Yan felt being watched, and when she raised her eyes, her gaze met the young man's. She blinked in surprise, but still smiled politely.

"Yan Yan, try this." Shen Xing put a piece of black pastry into her mouth, calling back her attention.

Chu Yan took a small bite, it was a little sour, but not bad. She covered half of her face and asked: "What is this?"

"Sour jujube cake." Shen Xing smiled, as if he had succeeded in playing a prank. "Grandpa Song picked up the fruits that fell from the jujube tree on the mountain behind and made jujube cake."

The Grandpa Song he was talking about was the old housekeeper of the house.

Chu Yan asked: "Do you like it?"

Shen Xing said softly: "I like it. I like sour food."

Chu Yan curved her eyebrows and said, "Well, I will try to like you in the future."

Gu Chuan's throat tightened, "Shen Xing."

He suddenly spoke up and everyone looked over.

Shen Xing smiled cheerfully, "What's wrong, cousin?"

Gu Chuan could confirm that it was a provocation.

Shen Xing was gradually erasing the habits that Chu Yan and Gu Chuan had built over seven years, as if Shen Xing wanted to replace all traces of Gu Chuan in Chu Yan's life.
