The aloof school beauty has been reborn and is now pursuing me relentlessly.

Chapter 674 I'm sorry, it was just a coincidence.

The National Day holiday is a peak travel season every year.

This year is no exception.

With popular tourist attractions removed, not to mention entrance tickets, even train tickets are often hard to buy.

Fortunately, the journey from Donghai City to Qinghe Ancient Town takes only two hours.

No one was picky; they were all happy to be able to buy a row of second-class hard seats together.

Autumn outing for young people.

Unlike middle-aged and elderly people who are willing to spend huge sums of money for comfort and relaxation.

Getting together with friends and partners for a lively and enjoyable atmosphere is more important than anything else.

Even with a tight budget, there are still fun ways to have fun.

Got on the train.

We arrived at the second-class hard-seat carriage.

Ten people bought seats in a row, which made up two sets of 2+3 seats, with two rows in front and behind each other, and they could sit down just right.

Moreover, the seats in the same row on the train can be switched.

The seat turned around.

Then everyone can sit face to face together.

It makes it easier to chat and talk casually.

After placing their suitcases on the overhead luggage rack, everyone had just happily sat down when Li Zhuang skillfully pulled out a large pile of snacks from his backpack and shared them with his friends:

"Come on, everyone, if you haven't had breakfast, have a couple of bites first~"

Everyone cheered.

Praise to the Jujube Cake Guy!

Then I looked closely at the pile of snacks on the small table.

A dazzling array of goods!

Date paste pastries, date paste cakes, traditional date cakes, date stuffed with walnuts, date paste rolls...

The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed.

They even have jujube cake flavored mooncakes here...

Everyone: "..."

This is the most powerful time that Brother Zaogao has ever exerted!

Su Qinghe and the others present had only known each other for a short time and did not know each other well.

Looking at the spectacular array of jujube cakes and snacks on the table, I was completely dumbfounded.

It took me a long time to come to my senses.

Turning to Ma Xiaoshuai, she whispered:

"Does Li Zhuang's family make jujube cakes?"

"A spokesperson?"

Ma Xiaoshuai curled his lip upon hearing this:

"Spokesperson?"

"They've seriously underestimated our boss—"

With a bold wave of his hand:

"This is a concept god!"

……

The table was piled high with snacks, which looked varied, but they were actually mostly high in jujube cake.

Su Qingyan, who was standing next to her, thought for a moment and then lowered her head to rummage through her bag:

"If it's too monotonous—"

"I also prepared some cookies..."

Recently, I've been receiving a lot of positive feedback from Xiao Yan, which has given me a lot of emotional support, and Chef Su's passion for baking and cooking has been rekindled.

The voice just fell.

Everyone was shocked on the spot:

"Wait, wait a minute!—"

"Not monotonous! Not monotonous at all!!"

But it's too late to change your mind now.

Chef Su's homemade cookies have been taken out.

A whole bag was placed on the small table, making even Li Zhuang's pile of jujube cakes and snacks look rather lackluster...

The group of friends were horrified and turned ashen-faced.

And it just so happens that it's on a train.

There's no way to escape...

In the end, I had no choice but to resign myself to my fate, grit my teeth, and shakily take the cookie into my hand, taking a cautious bite with the resolve of someone going to their death.

The outer shell is crispy, while the inside is soft, sweet, and chewy.

A subtle, smoky aroma lingers on the palate, just right.

Everyone: “!?”

Ding Han was so shocked he almost couldn't speak: "Huh!?"

Ma Xiaoshuai stared blankly and muttered to himself, "Holy crap, am I dead? Am I hallucinating? Why does it taste so good?"

Lin Ran, standing to the side, chuckled and began to explain to everyone:

“Ayan just made it last night.”

"I deliberately turned on my laptop and video-chatted with Aunt Feng so that she could remotely guide me on the results."

Everyone had heard of Aunt Feng's reputation before.

It suddenly dawned on me.

The next second, I was so moved that tears welled up in my eyes. "Aunt Feng, our hero!"

I'll go to Yunaan and present her with a silk banner...

Liu Qingqing asked curiously:

"Hey, wasn't Aunt Feng supposed to be a professional Chinese chef?"

"You also make pastries?"

Su Qingyan nodded happily and answered casually:

"Aunt Feng also spent a few years at the Royal Pastry Academy in England."

"Has received a school medal of honor."

Everyone was once again filled with awe and respect!

Good guy!

This person might very well have served the Queen of England!

Having escaped death, what was thought to be hellish food turned out to be real food, and everyone regained their spirits.

Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't wait to reach for another cookie:

"Good guy!"

"It's so delicious, I'll have to eat more..."

As he spoke, he popped a whole cookie into his mouth and chewed it.

click-

The familiar clanging of metal.

Ma Xiaoshuai's expression froze.

Lin Ran glanced sympathetically at her handsome boss and kindly explained:

"Remote guidance always has some flaws..."

"About 20% of this batch are defective..."

Meanwhile, the birdcage nearby flapped its wings, seemingly gloating.

"Gah! You unlucky bastard! — Gah! You unlucky bastard! —"

What if everyone else had tried it, but it and Father Emperor hadn't?

Take timely precautions!

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of everyone else present changed again:

A 20% mortality rate?

A death-themed lucky bag or a Russian roulette wheel!?

Holy crap, this is even scarier than not being able to eat anything at all!

……

The engine roared, and the wheels rolled over the tracks.

The train travels in the bright morning sunlight.

October is already autumn, and the railway tracks are laid forward between the golden wheat fields on both sides of the earth. The train roars past, and the wheat waves bend in the wind like the tide.

Beautiful and magnificent, it also soothes the soul.

Although the hard seats in the second-class carriages weren't very comfortable, the autumn morning scenery reflected in the windows was quite pleasing to the eye.

The laughter of the young men and women chatting in front of their seats inside the carriage was also present.

It exudes even more vitality and vigor.

Liu Qingqing excitedly suggested that everyone take a group photo in the car.

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

Su Qingyan took out her camera, and the chubby parrot in the cage flapped its wings and flew out without hesitation, striding confidently to the camera on the small table:

"Smile! Smile!"

"Eggplant! Eggplant!—"

His shooting techniques have become increasingly refined.

The group of friends made all sorts of funny faces and expressions in front of the camera lens.

Laughter occasionally broke out.

The noise didn't seem to bother the other passengers in the carriage.

Turning around at the sound, I saw a group of young boys and girls laughing and joking.

I couldn't help but smile knowingly.

It evokes both admiration and nostalgia.

so good.

This is youth.

While the photos were being taken, Su Qingyan and Lin Ran also huddled together intimately, posing affectionately for the camera like a couple.

They enjoyed it immensely and still felt like they hadn't had enough.

Then Su Qingyan thought of something and felt a slight pang of regret:

"It's a pity that Baozi and Wei Shabao didn't come..."

Lin Ran reached out and naturally smoothed a stray strand of hair from his girlfriend's forehead, smiling as he comforted her:

"It's okay."

"There'll be a chance next time."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and looked slightly puzzled:

"Yesterday, when Brother Liu Jin was leaving, he seemed to have said something..."

"It doesn't matter if they didn't come—"

"It's pretty good?"

……

The same bright morning light spilled onto the streets of Donghai City.

Kangping Road, small Western-style buildings.

Wei Xiao came downstairs from Luansha Entertainment Company.

I stood by the roadside, ready to hail a taxi.

I came to the company early this morning. Most of the employees in my technology R&D department had already gone on holiday, but I, as the department head, took the time to come to the office to sort out the project progress.

Of course, it's not just the technology department.

The artists in the art department are also on holiday.

The only one who was miserable was Zhao, the group leader of the art department, who had agreed to the junior's deal and was looking miserable as he also got up early to come to the company to finish his work...

I was taking the elevator downstairs when I saw the doors about to close—

A bewildered Zhao suddenly darted in, urgently urging him to close the elevator door:

"Close the door quickly!"

"Where are you going? Oh, it doesn't matter, take me with you! Just make sure we can escape!!"

"Ugh, I don't want to be rushing to finish my manuscript during the National Day holiday! I want a day off too!"

As a result, the elevator doors were about to close again.

A certain Yan Gulu supervisor arrived, his beautiful face carrying a nascent, aloof, and authoritative aura:

"Senior! Sister!"

"You promised, no cheating!"

Then, Zhao was dragged out in a daze...

As they were being dragged away, she kept glancing towards the elevator, her eyes filled with longing for freedom...

Think of this.

Standing on the roadside downstairs, Wei Xiao subconsciously looked up towards the company building upstairs.

Then I saw a figure leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of the company building...

Clinging tightly to the French windows.

They looked at themselves with hopeful anticipation.

He was also holding up a sign:

Help me!!!

The next second, she was pulled back by a slender hand from behind.

Then Yan Mengyao appeared in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Her delicate and dignified face nodded slightly to Young Master Wei downstairs and waved goodbye.

Wei Xiao couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

This junior, Yan...

Yesterday, when they left, they were babbling incoherently, leaving everyone confused.

But she does indeed have a similar style and aura to the demoness Su...

Thinking of my childhood sweetheart.

This made Wei Xiao subconsciously recall the scene he saw at the gate of the courtyard last night before leaving Lin Su's villa—the intimate and well-matched scene between the male and female owners of the apartment.

Then I thought of the seemingly calm and natural eye contact and farewell with a certain girl.

I was slightly dazed and lost in thought.

A sense of inexplicable melancholy washed over me.

My thoughts returned to the present.

The eldest grandson of the third generation of the Wei family shook his head again and smiled faintly.

A taxi pulled up nearby, and Wei Xiao waved it down and got in.

Today I'm going to visit the family's perfume company.

Those romantic affairs between men and women.

Let's put it aside for now.

Business matters.

After all, even if we said "see you next time,"...

but.

Where do so many coincidences and goodbyes come from?

……

Half an hour later.

The headquarters of "Manxiu" perfume company, an enterprise under the Wei Group of the capital.

When the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Wei family walked through the corridor and into the conference room, he was surrounded by several company executives.

He exudes a calm and composed aura, yet his authority is fully undeniable.

The planning director of Manxiu Company hurriedly led his staff to stand up from the conference table:

"President Wei!"

Wei Xiao nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the room with a calm and distant expression.

then.

My gaze involuntarily fell upon a familiar, bright figure at the end of the conference table.

Then, it solidifies.

sluggish.

The other person also noticed the gaze and looked up back.

then.

It also solidifies.

sluggish.
