Touya Yaoyao

Bai Taoyi sensed something was wrong, so he stopped pretending and, right in front of Yu Yaoyao, forcefully moved the plate of strawberry Santa Claus in front of her. Ignoring the presence of others, he reached out, grabbed, squeezed, and stuffed it in.

In an instant, his mouth was stuffed full of strawberry Santa Clauses made by Yu Yaoyao, while Yu Yaoyao stared dumbfounded at the suddenly empty plate in front of her.

It all happened so suddenly that she couldn't come to her senses for a long time. She stared in shock at Shirato Shirai's provocative face, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked like she was about to cry but hadn't, and was teetering on the verge of collapse.

Seeing her aggrieved expression, Liu Ying, who had rushed over, looked at her reddened eyes and couldn't help but offer words of comfort at a loss:

"Yaoyao, there are still strawberries here. Don't cry. Brother Liu will make you what you just made, okay? Don't cry. As long as you don't cry, I'll make it for you myself, okay?!"

Yu Yaoyao sniffed, intending to say she was fine, but when she saw Bai Taoshi's "what can you do about me?" expression, her hard-won composure crumbled.

She made four strawberry Santas! Just four!!! He ate them all, not leaving her a single one, not one at all!!!

That's outrageous! He really went too far! Not only did he steal her things, but he also gave her that look. Did he think she wouldn't fight back?

Feeling aggrieved and wronged, Yu Yaoyao glared at Bai Taoshi with an unfriendly expression. Before she could utter any harsh words, her phone suddenly rang.

Yu Yaoyao's anger was interrupted by this sudden turn of events, which also made her too busy to pay attention to Bai Taoshi. She took out her phone directly from her pocket.

The caller was her older brother, Ye Qihua, and his purpose in calling was to ask what the variety show Yu Yaoyao was filming was all about? Was it really about dating?

They even told Yu Yaoyao that although the Ye family didn't care about the social status of her romantic partner, they did value his character very much.

Yu Yaoyao was extremely helpless about this. She didn't want to participate in the show either. It was Sister Zhuozhuo who insisted that she come. But she couldn't deny it during the live broadcast, so she could only give a vague answer, saying that she knew and would pay attention.

At this point, Ye Qihua suddenly changed the subject and asked Yu Yaoyao if Bai Taoshi was there!

Yu Yaoyao was stunned by Ye Qihua's actions. She glanced at Bai Taoshi with a resentful look and said in a muffled voice that he was there. Then Ye Qihua asked Yu Yaoyao to hand the phone to Bai Taoshi.

If she had something to say to Shirato, why didn't she just call his cell phone? Why did she have to use hers?!

Although resentful, Yu Yaoyao resignedly handed the phone to Bai Taoshi and said irritably:

"My older brother wants you to answer the phone."

Bai Taoshi glanced at Yu Yaoyao, but didn't refuse. He took the phone and started talking to Ye Qihua. Yu Yaoyao looked at his smug expression and felt inexplicably annoyed.

I don't know what my brother was thinking, making him answer that phone call. If this gets posted online, who knows what people will say!

Yu Yaoyao was right; the internet was indeed in an uproar, but the debate seemed to have gone in a slightly off direction.

[Seriously, is it just my imagination?! I always have this feeling that Tao Tao deliberately ate the strawberries someone else made to get the girl's attention.]

[Haha, the person upstairs is really good at washing things, trying to get attention? Did they deliberately eat it? That girl worked hard all day, and your Taotao just stretched out her hand and it was all gone. What a shameless person!]

[It's just a few strawberries, why be so petty? They're not made of gold, how dare you get angry?]

Yes, yes, you're so generous. I've never seen you cook for others for free. I remember you have to ask for permission before taking something from someone. Your Taotao is really polite.

[Isn't this the girl who delivered food a while ago? And she had a catchphrase, what was it again? Oh right, it was "Remember to leave a five-star review, dear!" What's she doing here??]

[A food delivery girl?! Has she fallen on hard times?! But I remember she graduated first in her class from the Royal Academy of Music in Europe, how could she be delivering food??]

"No way, the last time I saw her, she was clearly deaf and mute, and the man next to her was lame."

You're lame, your whole family is lame, but my Tao Tao is perfectly fine.

.........

Yu Yaoyao knew nothing about these things. Even if she did, she could only say, "That was from the last variety show I participated in."

Ye Qihua sought out Bai Taoshi, and even specifically called Yu Yaoyao to have Bai Taoshi answer, all to apologize on Ye Qishi's behalf.

He just couldn't quite understand why his younger brother, who was good in every way, would become so confused when it came to Yu Yaoyao.

From childhood to adulthood, their parents have repeatedly told them not to mess with Bai Taoshi, not to mess with Bai Taoshi, because they can't afford to mess with Bai Taoshi.

But Ye simply wouldn't listen. Although he wouldn't say he was deliberately going against Bai Taoya, he always seemed to have a bad attitude towards her. Now, he even mocked Bai Taoya in front of her, showing that he really didn't take his father's words to heart.

Thinking about this gave Ye Qihua a headache, but there was nothing he could do. He had to spoil his own brother; he couldn't just watch him be resented by the other party.

After thinking it over, he decided to let it be that he, as the older brother, owed him an apology on his behalf, so that Bai Taoshi wouldn't take it out on him when he settled accounts later.

Bai Taoyi was initially curious about why Ye Qihua had called him. However, it turned out that Ye Qihua was apologizing on behalf of Ye Qishi. Although Ye Qishi's words that day had really angered him, he could let it go for the sake of the Ye family, but he couldn't ignore it.

But he was still recording a show, so it wouldn't be good to be too direct. Therefore, he simply said vaguely that Yu Yaoyao's phone was about to run out of battery, and that they should chat on WeChat.

Although Ye Qihua suspected that the phone being out of battery might be Bai Taoshi's excuse, he couldn't expose her, so he could only laugh it off and say it was fine.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Taoshi looked at Yu Yaoyao, who was holding a plate and eating strawberries with a pitiful expression, and couldn't help but walk over and hand her the phone.

Yu Yaoyao glanced at the other person, snatched the phone without any politeness, and glared at Bai Taoshi. Bai Taoshi was amused by her appearance and didn't care. She simply walked towards her baking area.

To be honest, Liu Ying was genuinely afraid that Bai Taoshi would snatch Yu Yaoyao's things again and make her cry. He really couldn't understand where Bai Taoshi got his twisted sense of humor from, insisting on bullying Yu Yaoyao when she was clearly a very well-behaved girl!

As for Yu Yaoyao, she couldn't quite figure out what was wrong with her. She would act up from time to time and try to steal her things.

Logically speaking, it's not like he can't afford it, so why would he rob those things? Is he crazy?!

No matter how resentful or brooding she was, her strawberry Santa Claus was still eaten. It was heartbreaking to think about; she hadn't even had a taste! It was stolen! How cruel!

Seeing that Yu Yaoyao had calmed down, Liu Ying remembered that Jiang Cheng and Li Yue had been baking bread earlier, so he rushed over. Fortunately, he arrived in time, and nothing went wrong, allowing the two of them to successfully complete the task assigned by the director.

It was completed, but I don't know if Jiang Cheng made a mistake in one of the steps when making the cake, which resulted in the cake being salty, even too salty to eat.

This resulted in the two of them losing the competition completely and having to eat the cake they made themselves, as punishment from the show's producers, with their faces contorted in pain.

Originally, Ye Lanmei thought that since she was in a group with Bai Taoshi, their cake should naturally belong to her. However, Bai Taoshi put the cake into a box and showed no sign of giving her any.

After completing the task, Liu Ying immediately divided the cake among everyone, leaving a large piece for Yu Yaoyao. Yu Yaoyao ate the cake with a big smile, laughing like a child.

Looking at Liu Ying and then at Bai Taoshi, Ye Lanmei felt a pang of sadness, while Bai Taoshi seemed oblivious, clearly not caring about it.

Finally, the director, unable to bear it any longer, succinctly reminded Bai Taoya that the strawberry cake wouldn't last long and it was best to eat it quickly. Only then did Bai Taoya reluctantly take out her strawberry cake and share it with everyone.

When Bai Taoshi handed the cake to Yu Yaoyao, Yu Yaoyao stared blankly at the strawberry Santa Claus next to the cake. Bai Taoshi, however, looked at her with disdain and threatened her fiercely:

"If you don't eat it, you're dead."

Yu Yaoyao was speechless, but after being persuaded by Liu Ying, she resigned herself to taking the cake.
