Senior, don't be afraid, I'll protect you.

The day after the winter solstice is Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Eve, we eat "peace apples".

Luo Ye booked a shop that makes homemade desserts, wanting to make some small cakes, and also wanted to make an apple cake by hand to give to his fairy senior.

In the afternoon, Luo Ye tidied up, found a nice outfit, put on the scarf that the fairy senior had given him, and left the dormitory.

Su Baizhou was already waiting for him at the school gate.

The two spent five yuan to take a small tricycle to the subway entrance.

The better dessert shops are all in the city center, and when you take the subway there, it gets increasingly crowded.

When I boarded the third subway train, there were no seats left, so I had to stand on either side of the doors.

Luo Ye and Su Baizhou leaned against the door handles on either side.

With each subway stop, the number of people increased, and soon, three or four people were standing between Luo Ye and Su Baizhou.

Luo Ye squeezed through the gaps in the crowd and saw the fairy-like senior on the other side.

The fairy-like senior was also watching him.

Little one: Senior, we're getting off in four more stops.

Upon hearing the message notification tone, Su Baizhou looked down at her phone and then began typing.

Fairy Senior: Hmm.

Luo Ye glanced at the fairy-like senior and sent another message.

Little one: Senior, let me go over there.

Luo Ye pushed his way through the crowd and squeezed his way to Su Baizhou's side.

Luo Ye looked around and found that there were no handrails.

There was only one handrail on each side of the subway door, and Su Baizhou had already leaned against the one on this side.

Sudden.

Upon arrival at the next station, the subway began to slow down and soon came to a stop.

After the doors opened, another wave of people squeezed into the subway, bringing Luo Ye and Su Baizhou even closer together.

After the doors closed, the subway started moving again, and an irresistible inertia caused Luo Ye to lose his balance.

With no handrails available, his body leaned towards Su Baizhou, almost touching her.

He was very close to the fairy-like senior's face, and could feel her breath.

"Senior..." Luo Ye said softly.

Su Baizhou blushed slightly, but said expressionlessly, "Grab me if there's no handrail."

The next moment, Luo Ye reached out and hugged Fairy Senior's arm.

Su Baizhou was in the corner by the door, while Luo Ye was right in front of her, completely blocking her view from all angles.

No one could cross Luoye and even touch Su Baizhou.

After getting off the train, the two followed the crowd and left the subway station.

The moment I stepped out of the subway station, a blast of cold air hit me.

It's breezy and a bit chilly today.

Luo Ye stood in front of Su Baizhou, turned around and smiled, "Senior, my shoulders may not be very tall, but they're enough to shelter you from the wind and rain."

“Young man,” Su Baizhou said calmly.

However, she still followed behind Luo Ye.

The two walked into the thirteenth floor of an apartment building, one after the other.

This is a small shop specializing in DIY desserts.

As soon as the two entered, they discovered that there were several other couples inside.

There are three large tables, each seating eight people.

Including Luo Ye and Su Baizhou, there are a total of seven couples here.

Upon seeing Luo Ye and Su Baizhou, the shop assistant exclaimed in surprise, "You two... are such a perfect match!"

"Thank you." Luo Ye smiled politely and asked, "I have an appointment."

“I know, Mr. Luo and Miss Su.”

The young woman led the two to a large table, where another man placed the cake-making ingredients in front of them.

"Hello, you two have ordered a Peace Apple Cake and six Christmas Cupcakes. Here are the ingredients. The owner and I will explain the preparation steps. Please feel free to ask us if you have any questions."

"it is good."

Looking at the materials in front of him, Luo Ye mimicked rubbing his hands like a fly, his face full of anticipation.

"Senior, have you done this before?"

No, this is my first time.

"This is my first time too... Senior, those two people in the shop look like a couple?"

This store only has two employees, a man and a woman.

"Mm." Su Baizhou nodded.

It seems like a good idea for couples to open a dessert shop together.

"Senior, let's begin."

"it is good."

Cake, cream, sugar.

Making your own cake is simple in many ways, but the difficulty lies in controlling the sweetness and the cake's appearance.

There were six small cakes in total, and Luo Ye and Fairy Senior each made three.

Five of them were for Luo Ye's roommate, and one was for Senior Qin.

After making six small cakes, the difference in skill level between the two was immediately apparent.

Three of the cakes were ugly, while the other three were exquisite.

Luo Ye took a picture and saved it in his album.

Next up is the peace apple cake.

This cake is six inches, much bigger than the cupcakes we just had.

The two of them started making the core of the cake, the cake filling.

Flour, eggs, water...

Su Baizhou was in charge of the meticulous preparation, while Luo Ye was in charge of stirring.

After placing the cake in the oven, the two began to wait.

Another couple's girl came over to Luo Ye's place. She looked at the cake in the oven and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this is so exquisite! It's just like the ones you buy in stores."

"Thank you, my girlfriend made all of this." Luo Ye became shy.

Wow, you're so good with words! And your girlfriend is so beautiful.

"Haha, my girlfriend is indeed beautiful."

Wow, you're so handsome too.

"Oh, not at all, she's nowhere near as good as my girlfriend."

The girl's boyfriend grabbed her ponytail and said speechlessly, "Stop wailing, the cake is almost ready."

"A little bit."

The girl made a face at her boyfriend.

Once their cake was ready, the two left the bakery.

Only Luo Ye and Su Baizhou remained.

"Senior, why don't you make a funny face too?"

Su Bai Congee: ...

Humph.

Su Baizhou revealed a rather disdainful expression.

Hey~

The oven beeped; their cake was done.

After bringing the cake out, the two returned to the table and began piping cream.

This matter is Su Baizhou's responsibility; Luo Ye can't handle it.

There's also a layer of apple sauce on top of the cream.

The apple was too heavy to be placed on the cake, so I had to make a fake one.

Chocolate apples.

Luo Ye and Su Baizhou each made one and placed them on the cake.

One looks good, while the other looks strange, like a misshapen melon or a cracked date.

However, Luo Ye drew a leaf on the cake with jam.

"What is this?" Su Baizhou asked.

"This is me, Fallen Leaf, hahahahaha."

Seeing this, Su Baizhou also drew a pattern on it.

A bowl with many small circles inside represents rice.

"This is me," Su Baizhou said calmly.

"My senior's drawing is prettier than mine."

Luo Ye couldn't help but laugh.

After leaving the dessert shop, the two carried two boxes of cakes back to Jiangda University.

Su Baizhou returned to the family dormitory with a peace apple cake and a cupcake for Qin Yuwen.

Luo Ye carried the remaining five cupcakes back to his dorm room.

As Luo Ye rushed into the dormitory, he placed the cake on the table and said, "This is for everyone. I'm going to the staff dormitory to eat some peace cakes with my seniors."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dachui suddenly sat up in bed and exclaimed, "Really? Godfather? What have I, Wang Dachui, done to deserve eating a cake from someone else on Christmas Eve?"

"of course it's true."

The next moment, Li Haoyang also returned to the dormitory, carrying a large box of apples.

"There's another box downstairs. I bought it myself. One for each person in the class. You guys can help me carry it up to the classroom later."

“Coach, I love you.” Wang Dachui jumped off the bed.

Seeing this, Luo Ye took one.

"Wait a minute, take one for Senior Su too."

Li Haoyang then placed another apple in Luo Ye's hand.

"it is good."

Luo Ye put the two apples in his pocket and walked towards the family dormitory building.

Christmas Eve.

Luo Ye pictured the fairy-like senior in his mind.

I wish my senior sister peace and safety every year.
