Chapter 40: The Temptation of Marble Brownie

Although she said that she was a criminal policeman, in addition to this kind of scene that was too special, when the ordinary case came out of the scene before, Bai Xue did not miss timidity, but in her life after work, she really can't be regarded as the kind of person who is very bold, and now in the face of this mysterious visitor who visited late at night, she is really a little heartbeat, her palms are sweating, and her first reaction after coming to her senses is to hold the mobile phone in her hand, and then she quietly got up, tiptoed towards the door, slowly approached the door, and put her eyes on the door mirror。

Fortunately, the lights in the corridor outside are on, so that Bai Xue can clearly see the people outside the door.

It was the new neighbor who happened to bump into him head-on when he got out of the elevator, and he was still holding a plate in his hand, and in the plate was a black and white piece that seemed to be a snack.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Although Bai Xue was relieved to see that it was a neighbor who had a relationship, but in line with the principle of being careful, she did not choose to open the door for the other party at the first time, but asked the other party about the intention of the other party through the security door.

"Hello, I'm a neighbor of 12B, I took a little gift today to visit these around these houses, I have been to you before, you haven't come back at that time, just now I went out and came back, and saw that the lights in your house were on, so I came to knock on the door and try it. The man said to Bai Xue outside the door.

If this is a person she doesn't know, Bai Xue can't open the door to the other party for such a reason anyway, but since it's her neighbor, she has indeed encountered it before, and now if she still insists on not opening the door, it will inevitably seem a little too childish, and she will be a little guarded against everyone else as a villain.

So Bai Xue opened the door, smiled at the people outside the door, and nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.

The man standing outside the door saw her reaction and laughed out loud: "It seems that you don't remember my name, so I'll introduce myself again, it was really hasty when we met before." My name is Jiang Cheng, I just moved to 12B to settle down, I opened a dessert shop by myself, and I also like this kind of thing, I know a little, so I simply developed my hobby into a career. I just moved here, and I don't have any welcome gifts, so I baked a marble brownie and gave us a share of the other two families on this floor, which is a welcome gift for the newcomers, and please take care of it in the future. ”

When Jiang Cheng said this, he always had a faint smile on his face, which would not make people feel too close, nor would he have a hypocritical sense of distance, which could be said to be cordial and polite.

Bai Xue was a little ashamed, if Jiang Cheng didn't introduce himself just right, I'm afraid that he really can't remember his name now, just like he just said, the last time he bumped into him, he was in a hurry, plus he had been involved in the case for the past two days, and followed Xiao Geyan to go to Qiao Guang for help, so the memory of this new neighbor was really diluted.

"Oh, hello! I'm late at work," Bai Xue hurriedly said to greet the other party, "I'm sorry to let you come here so late." My name is—"

"Bai Xue, you said it before, I remember. Jiang Cheng said with a smile, his eyes moved down Bai Xue's face and landed on Bai Xue's T-shirt, "Your clothes are quite suitable for you, worthy of the name." ”

Bai Xue was said by him, and subconsciously lowered her head to check her clothes, it turned out that after taking a bath, she was wearing the cartoon pattern white T-shirt that Bai's mother didn't know for what psychology she bought for her earlier, and the pattern on it happened to be Snow White and the seven dwarfs, and now Jiang Cheng is obviously ridiculing this.

"Ahem...... My mother bought it, and I wear it at home......" Bai Xue felt a little embarrassed, as a mature woman in her twenties, it always feels very embarrassing to be seen by another person of the same age wearing clothes with the theme of the protagonist of a fairy tale.

Jiang Cheng nodded: "Auntie's vision and taste are actually quite good. ”

After speaking, he handed the plate in his hand to Bai Xue: "It's not too early, the meeting gift is for you, I'll go back, the raw material used in this brownie is dark chocolate made of Crioro cocoa beans, without adding a lot of extra sugar, so the taste is more mellow, not so sweet that it is greasy, I hope you can like it." ”

Bai Xue usually doesn't hate sweets and doesn't like them much, she doesn't know what the Crioro cocoa beans are, but she is sure that the marble brownie made by Jiang Cheng should be delicious, because just holding the plate, the aroma of chocolate has already penetrated into her nostrils.

It was indeed not early, and it was not convenient to stand at the door and chat like this, so Bai Xue thanked Jiang Cheng, closed the door, and sat down at the kitchen table with the marble brownie in his hand.

Usually at such a time, she would never want to eat dessert, but today she was very tired, she had no appetite to eat before dinner, and she was very depressed by Wu Shu, when people were depressed, it seemed that nothing was more healing than chocolate, so Bai Xue took a small fork, dug a small piece of pastry from the plate and put it in her mouth, and tasted it carefully.

Although Bai Xue still has no idea what the Crioro cocoa bean is, at least she can be sure that it must be something of high quality, even if it is not a listed gourmet, as long as the taste buds on the tongue are normal, in fact, they will have a natural ability to taste food.

Brownie this kind of sweet, in the past, Bai Xue and his friends have eaten a few times in the café outside, and I don't particularly like it, because it is too sweet and too greasy, under the stimulation of high sweetness, I can't eat a little bit of chocolate at all, not to mention the unique little bit of sweetness and bitterness, I feel sticky in my throat and eyes after eating a few bites, and it is particularly refreshing, but Jiang Cheng does not give people such a feeling, I only feel that the taste is very dense and mellow, wrapped in the smoothness of cheese, the aroma of chocolate flows down the throat to the stomach, and spreads to the limbs, which makes people's emotions quickly soothed, as if any worries can be put aside for the time beingand become content.

It's really nice to have a neighbor who has good craftsmanship and runs a dessert shop, and he has such good benefits.

Bai Xue bit her fork and thought to herself in her heart.
