Upon hearing the customer's question, the shop owner hurriedly replied, "Yes, there's only one left."

The boy's eyes flickered; he wasn't really keen on giving it up, but out of gentlemanly manners, he did: "Give it to her first. I'll come back tomorrow. I'll reserve one for myself, okay?"

The boss immediately looked troubled: "Well... it's like this, the head chef who makes heart-shaped cakes just resigned, and today is the last one. We'll be taking this cake off the menu tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the boy became embarrassed.

There was only one last piece of cake left, and there wouldn't be any more, so he was a little reluctant to give it up.

But the girl arrived before him, so he couldn't very well try to snatch the cake.

The boy said listlessly, "You came first, so you can buy this cake."

The girl glanced at the clearly disappointed boy, then looked at the cakes in the shop window, and asked softly:

Can this cake be divided into two pieces?

The boss immediately replied, "Of course, please wait a moment."

Soon, the owner brought out the sliced ​​cake. "That's twenty-two in total. How much do you want to pay?"

The girl paid for the cake and handed him another one, saying, "Please have this."

The boy accepted it with delight, "Thank you, my name is Shen Yunchi, what's yours?"

"Yan Weixi".

"Let's exchange contact information. I'll treat you to cake next time."

"Forget it, it's just half a cake."

"That won't do! You treat me to food, and I treat you to food, that's the way it should be!"

"alright."

After exchanging contact information, Yan Weixi opened her umbrella and prepared to leave the cake shop.

But then, as if remembering something, she turned back and asked the other person, "Did you bring an umbrella?"

Shen Yunchi shook his head: "I left in a hurry and didn't bring it."

Yan Weixi folded the umbrella and placed it beside the door. "You can borrow it for now. I have a raincoat."

After saying that, Yan Weixi didn't wait for the other person's reply and went into the rain on her own.

Before Shen Yunchi could say thank you, the other person had already walked away.

He had no choice but to pick up the cake and prepare to leave. Before leaving, he thought long and hard, and finally mustered up the courage to ask the store manager:

"Boss, do you have the contact information for the pastry chef who makes heart-shaped cakes?"

The store manager readily gave him the contact information.

After getting the contact information, Shen Yunchi picked up the cake, opened his umbrella, and also disappeared into the rain.

After hailing a taxi, he sneaked into the living room. Because everything went so smoothly, he was only thinking about getting back to his room and didn't notice anything amiss.

Just one step away, he heard his elder brother's stern rebuke: "Shen Yunchi! You bought cake and ate it again, didn't you?"

Perhaps due to the suppression of his bloodline, upon hearing that familiar rebuke, Shen Yunchi froze on the spot, then stiffly turned around and stood there obediently.

Of course, he didn't forget to hide the cake behind his back.

Shen Yunchi's older brother, Shen Mu, was furious when he saw Shen Yunchi's clumsy attempt to hide the cake.

"You're eating cake again! Eating cake every day, what about your teeth? You eat so many sweets without any restraint, what will happen to your health in the future?"

"You're only in the first year of junior high school, a time when you're still growing. If you keep eating sweets without any restraint, what will you do in the future?"

Shen Yunchi lowered his head and muttered softly, "I only bought half a piece today..."

"Do you think I believe you?"

"Really! There's really only half a piece!"

Seeing that her brother didn't believe her, Shen Yunchi hurriedly opened the cake box.

Seeing that Shen Yunchi had only bought half a piece, Shen Mu looked at him suspiciously: "You're being so nice today, only buying half a piece?"

He found it odd that someone who usually buys a whole cake was only buying half a slice.

Facing his own brother, Shen Yunchi dared not lie: "Because there's only half left..."

Brother Shen: "..."

He said, "Why is Shen Yunchi being so considerate today, only buying half a piece!"

Shen Yunchi whispered, "I'm going up first, brother."

Without waiting for his older brother to say anything, he ran off in a flash.

Shen Yunchi returned to his room, skillfully opened the cake box, washed his hands, and then returned to his seat to slowly enjoy the peach cake.

After finishing the cake, he sent a message to Yan Weixi, inviting her to have cake with him the next day.

The other party gave him half a cake and lent him an umbrella, so he naturally had to treat them to a meal to return the favor.

The next afternoon.

Shen Yunchi changed into casual clothes, got into his own car, and went to the agreed location.

It is a century-old old-fashioned cake shop.

Shen Yunchi went to the second floor ahead of time.

On the second floor, I saw Yan Weixi already sitting in the corner.

He hurried over, his face full of apology, "Sorry, sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way, I'm a little late."

Yan Weixi shook her head: "It's okay, I just arrived too."

Shen Yunchi handed her the menu: "You order first."

Yan Weixi took the menu and tentatively asked, "I have a habit of ordering two of the same desserts, do you mind?"

Since Shen Yunchi was treating, Yan Weixi felt it was necessary to make things clear beforehand.

"can."

Seeing that Shen Yunchi didn't mind, Yan Weixi ordered two identical desserts and didn't order anything else.

Shen Yunchi finally managed to sneak out to eat dessert, and since the bodyguards nearby usually wouldn't advise him to eat less since they saw him sitting with others, he ordered a lot of desserts without any qualms.

They also made recommendations, saying, "Their new three-color dumplings are pretty good, the original cake is soft and fluffy, and the caramelized pudding is very sweet, but delicious."

Yan Weixi listened attentively to the other person's recommendation, nodding vaguely:

"Okay, I understand. I'll try it in a bit. Thanks for the recommendation."

"You're welcome! I ordered a lot, I'll share it with you later!"

"it is good."

Soon, the waiter brought in a lot of desserts, filling the table to the brim.

Yan Weixi was stunned: "So many?"

Shen Yunchi smiled and said, "When you're treating, the more the better! Come on, try everything I've ordered! If you're still hungry, I'll order more! I guarantee that everything I've ordered is absolutely delicious!"

"Okay, I'll try."

Yan Weixi wanted the furthest piece of candy-colored pudding, and tried to reach it with her fingertips, but couldn't.

Shen Yunchi picked up the pudding and handed it to her.

Yan Weixi took the pudding from him, and unexpectedly touched the other's fingertips. As if electrocuted, she quickly withdrew her hand.

Yan Weixi whispered, "Thank you."

Shen Yunchi didn't care about that and laughed heartily, "Try it!"

Yan Weixi took a bite of the caramelized pudding and her eyes lit up immediately. "So delicious! This caramelized pudding is so sweet, I love it!"

Hearing someone affirm his favorite caramel pudding, Shen Yunchi became proud, "Of course! This is one of my absolute favorite items, and only ten are made each week!"

"I like it too, you have great taste!"

Hearing Yan Weixi's generous praise, Shen Yunchi felt his heart was filled with satisfaction, and his eyes lit up.

It was rare to find someone with similar taste who genuinely praised his discerning eye, which excited Shen Yunchi even more, and he kept introducing which one tasted better.

He even excitedly picked up the menu

Another wave of orders is coming.

Yan Weixi quickly stopped them, thus preventing another round of cake feast.

Eat and drink enough.

Because he had met a kindred spirit, Shen Yunchi happily went home, completely forgetting to observe the atmosphere, until he heard his elder brother's gloomy voice:

"Shen, Yun, Chi!"

Shen Yunchi immediately felt intimidated.

He turned around stiffly again: "Big brother..."
