Chapter 13: Strawberry Chiffon Cake

The night is dark, and the restaurant has only a handful of customers.

Shen Xiuyan looked at He Shenge, who was eating cakes, and asked slowly, "You look a little unhappy." ”

She froze as she dug the cake: "Really, I think I'm in a good mood." ”

"And you're crying?"

"The cake was not tasty. She said whimfully.

Shen Xiuyan looked at her with an expression of disbelief.

"It's really not tasty. She frowned: "I don't believe you can try it in one bite." ”

"There are no forks. ”

She looked up at him slightly, and happened to meet his doting and expectant gaze.

There was a throbbing in my heart.

In the past, when they went to eat cake at the bubble tea shop outside the school, he also looked at her obsessively with such eyes.

Somehow, she moved her fork and dug up a piece of chocolate mousse and handed it to him.

His expression was still cold and ruthless, and he tasted two bites.

"Isn't it delicious?" He Shenge asked impatiently.

Shen Xiuyan hesitated for a moment before replying, "Well, aren't they all the same?"

"How come?" she tasted again: "It's not delicious, the chocolate has been left for a long time, there is no crispness, the acidity is too high, and the original sweetness of the chocolate has been completely lost." ”

"I think it's okay. ”

"That's for you. He Shenge pushed the piece of chocolate mousse in front of him, picked up the cherry banquet to drink, but only ate one cherry, and the wine was gone.

She picked up another cocktail next to her and continued to drink.

The lights in the dining room are dimmed a bit, which is even more intoxicating in this gold-based house.

The chocolate mousse was not big, Shen Xiuyan quickly finished eating, and he pointed at the strawberry chiffon cake in front of He Shenge with a fork: "This is not delicious?"

She drunkenly followed the direction of the fork and looked at the strawberry cake.

The round light pink plate holds the cake in small pieces, three layers of pink muffins, sandwiched between the fuchsia strawberry jam and white pure cream on both sides, brushed with a layer of pink cream, and some dried strawberries and a few blueberries sprinkled on the side, accompanied by a slightly larger white marshmallow.

She narrowed her eyes, "Why do I think it looks like a crown?"

"Crown?"

"Queen Mary's Crown. Her voice became very soft: "It's the movie "Cleopatra", remember? Sophomore, aren't you taking a second degree in French? And then you said that your French teacher asked you to watch the latest "Goodbye, My Queen", and you invited me, this is the first time we went to see a movie. ”

In the dim light, there was a slight light shining under her eyes, and because of the alcohol, He Shenge's face became pink and tender.

The corners of Shen Xiuyan's mouth raised slightly, and he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face: "Of course I remember, when it was first released in France in 2011, my teacher copied it to us and let me know about the history of France. ”

"You also said you didn't like Queen Mary. ”

"I don't like it now. He said in a serious tone.

In his eyes, Queen Mary will not assist the king in managing the country, she is only keen on balls and feasts, and she does not have the slightest look like a queen.

"Then you won't like this cake either. ”

"I don't like the cake like her crown? Shen Xiuyan was amused by her.

"Anyway, I don't think it's delicious, you like it, you eat. He Shenge pushed the cake in front of him again.

He picked up the fork again, took a bite, and frowned: "It's too sweet." ”

"The cream on the surface should be mixed with strawberry juice, and when it cools, it becomes frosting, which is too sweet, and the strawberry jam in the middle is even sweeter, I don't know if it has been left for a long time, I think the cake is not soft enough after eating the first bite. ”

"Oh, you say that, it seems like that. ”

"It meant to be. ”

"What about this?"

"Which one?" He Shenge felt that his vision had become a little blurry, and he fixed his mind and looked at it: "Oh, you said mango mille-feuille cake." ”

"It's quite delicious, you didn't like to eat mango pancakes before? He dug a small piece and stretched it into He Shenge's mouth.

She tilted her head: "I just ate it, it's delicious, the crepes won't be sweet, and they're very slippery, and the diced mango taste is still very Q-elastic, but the cream is not good for a long time." ”

"Eat more if it's delicious. ”

"No, you'll get all the delicious food. She shook her head and said with a grin.

Shen Xiuyan panicked slightly.

She was like this before, and the delicious food was always left to him.

"What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"

"No, it's delicious. He ate the whole mango mille-feuille cake without changing his face.

In fact, in order to maintain his body shape and abdominal muscles, he basically doesn't eat sweets anymore, but he wants to listen to He Shenge, he hasn't heard her voice for a long time, after the reunion, she has become indifferent, and now she is drunk and she is the person he used to like.

After Shen Xiuyan finished eating a cake, he would ask He Shenge about the taste of another cake, and He Shenge replied obediently, but did not eat it again, but kept drinking.

It didn't take long for her to speak, with a smile on her face, and her big eyes were innocent: "This, this, called, what kind of cake is it called? ”

He Shenge held another glass and took a small sip, sweet and sour, and then took another small sip. At that time, Shen Xiuyan no longer spoke, just sat quietly on the sofa, quietly observing her.

"Why don't you eat it?" she raised her eyelids and looked at Shen Xiuyan.

"It's so full. ”

"There are two more pieces. Her brow furrowed: "Can't be wasted." ”

As she spoke, she looked around for a fork.

"I'll feed you. Shen Xiuyan dug up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth.

She obediently took a bite, and then smiled sweetly: "The cake is delicious." ”

Shen Xiuyan was stunned for a while, got up, reached over, and wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth for her

At this moment, He Shenge froze stupidly, his heartbeat quickened.

He looked at her, his hand still on her soft lips.

"It's always like this when you eat cake. He swallowed subconsciously and withdrew his hand.

At this time, He Shenge grabbed his hand and looked panicked: "Where are you going?"

"Me. Shen Xiuyan was stunned: "I'm right here." ”

"Yan, you can't go, you can't go to the United States, say okay, you have to go with me. As he spoke, He Shenge felt that his stomach was turning over the river, and his whole face was wrinkled in pain.

Shen Xiuyan saw it and hurriedly picked up the trash can underneath.

almost vomited all the bile, He Shenge vomited comfortably, and fell asleep directly on the table.

Shen Xiuyan called the waiter to clean up the filth on the ground, he took out a tissue, gently lifted He Shenge's face, and carefully wiped the dirt on her mouth for her.

He touched her hair and leaned into her ear, and his voice was no longer the usual cold, but a little gentle: "Fool, you can't sleep here." ”

"Huh?" He Shen raised his eyelids in a daze, but only saw a somewhat blurry face, it was the face that was as cold as frost in her memory, and her cherry-colored lips moved: "Yan, if you don't come back, I won't wait for you." ”

His eyes flashed slightly, helped her up, left the restaurant, and took the elevator that went up, at the same time, Luo Linlin just saw off Mr. Shi and came out of the elevator, just like that, Luo Linlin didn't know about He Shenge's arrival at all.

Presidential Suite.

Shen Xiuyan put He Shenge on the bed and stared at her with deep eyes, she turned over on the bed and curled up in a ball.

Her face flushed, like flowers from her neck to below her collarbone.

He suddenly felt that his throat was a little dry, and his breathing became a little difficult, and he slowly reached out and lifted the broken hair next to the side of her face.

He Shenge felt the cold touch on Shen Xiuyan's hand, so he immediately held his hand, rubbed his face up, and smirked: "It's so cold." ”

The hand that had been exposed by the struggle to control it immediately opened, restraining the slender wrist.

He couldn't help himself and slowly leaned down.

Zizi, the mobile phone in his trouser pocket vibrated very uninterestingly, and he couldn't stop.

He frowned, let go of her hand, walked to the window, and took out his phone to look.

The word "father" made his eyes sink slightly.

He answered the phone, and his voice was cold: "Dad." ”

"I heard that your Uncle Zheng said that you gave up the hotel project and switched to eating?"

"Food, clothing, housing and transportation, Harry is poor in food and transportation, and too much capital investment is required in this regard, and the catering industry is highly profitable. ”

"In terms of diet, you are grabbing food with your second uncle. ”

"I arrived in Shenzhen, and my second uncle was going to Shenzhen, and I asked him to talk about cooperation in two days. ”

"Send me the plan and PPT email, I want to see it first. ”

"Okay, I'll send it to you later. He rubbed his brow.

"Well, a few old men on the shareholders' side, I will take care of it for you, and it is best to come up with results next year. ”

He glanced at the woman who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, turned his face, and looked gloomily at the night scene with the lights dim: "Hmm." ”

"Ah Mo returned to China the day before yesterday, and I just heard Uncle Zheng say that he was driving drunk in Shenzhen just now and went to lead him out. ”

"Got it. ”

After hanging up the phone, he dialed again: "Check which police station my brother is in." ”

Then, he walked to the side of the bed, covered He Shenge with the quilt, looked at her pink face, his heart moved slightly, and he wanted to reach out to caress it, but his bony hand clenched into a fist halfway and took it back.

The faint morning light penetrated through the soft and light gauze curtain, He Shenge's long eyelashes fanned slightly, and slowly opened his eyes, the blurred world gradually became clear, and the first thing that caught his eye was the gold-edged diamond lamp hanging on the ceiling of the white flowers.

Feeling dizzy and exhausted, she lay on the bed for a while before she got up and pulled the heavy curtain open, the harsh light making her squint.

Thinking back to last night, she sat up sharply and quickly lifted the quilt.

It's still the same outfit I wore yesterday, and there is a smell of alcohol on my body.

She breathed a sigh of relief, got up and went to the toilet to wash her face, brush her teeth, and didn't bother to observe the room, so she left with her bag.

After going back, she didn't contact Shen Xiuyan to confirm whether it was him that night, but around noon, Shen Xiuyan called.

"You're gone?" he asked.

"Hmm. ”

"Cherry feast is not an ordinary fruit wine, it is mixed with whiskey, and it will be drunk less in the future. He said.

"That's my business. ”

"You have a bad stomach, don't eat too much cold. ”

"Is there anything else? It's okay, I'm hanging. ”

The other party was silent for a while: "Tonight, let's have a meal together?"

"Not available. He Shenge said before hanging up the phone: "Last night, thank you." ”

After hanging up the line, He Shenge's swollen and aching brain gushed out wave after wave of pictures of being with Shen Xiuyan before.

Suddenly, she saw her tears falling in the mirror on the closet, and after a burst of horror, she quickly wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, took a change of clothes to the bathroom to rinse herself, and after taking a shower, she ran downstairs and bought a few boxes of hangover pills in the pharmacy downstairs, so as to take the medicine in advance before trying a new drink in the future, and when she came back, she began to open Weibo and prepare to update.

But she looked at the computer screen, didn't turn it on for a long time, and looked a little lost.
