The next day, Pei Chen boarded a flight to a distant place, while Qin Kaixin continued to stay in Hangzhou and run her baking school.

This year's summer in Hangzhou is hotter than usual, in August, the temperature is above 35 degrees every day, however, the sultry weather has changed its face on the afternoon of Pei Chen's departure, thunderstorms are coming, and dark clouds are full of sky.

Qin Kaixin sent off the last batch of students, and just after cleaning up the classroom, a lightning bolt suddenly lit up in the sky, followed by a rumbling thunder, and a raindrop the size of beans smashed on the window.

Xue Man and Zhan Lingxiao went out on a date today, Zhang Xue didn't come to the house, and there were three people in the classroom: Qin Kaixin, Yuan Yoyo and He Yunxi.

As soon as it rained, Yuanyo looked out the window with a sad face: "Why is it raining so hard all of a sudden, how am I going to go?" ”

"Wait for the rain to light up before leaving, are you in a hurry?" Qin Kaixin asked.

Yuan nodded slightly: "Today, my classmate got married, and I have to rush over in Yuhang." ”

Qin Kaixin glanced at the sky: "In this weather, unless you take a taxi over, but you are a girl's house, it is not convenient to take a taxi so far." ”

As he was talking, He Yunxi suddenly burst out: "I'll send you there!" ”

As soon as the words came out, Yuanyo was stunned, and hurriedly asked Qin Kaixin for help: Master, should I let him send it or not? Please, let me promise him!

Yes, you have to say yes! Qin Kaixin hurriedly pushed the boat down the river: "It's okay, just let Yunxi drive you there, I can rest assured that he is here." ”

Yuan Yoyo was so excited that he stammered: "Okay, good ......"

Qin Kaixin gave her a look.

She immediately lowered her eyebrows and whispered, "Then trouble you......"

"Don't bother, let's go!" He Yunxi picked up the car keys and went out briskly.

As soon as the two left, Qin Kaixin was the only one left in this huge classroom, and as soon as she closed the door, Xue Man's phone called.

"Kaixin, are you alone in the classroom? It's raining heavily outside, do you want us to pick you up? ”

"It's okay, this thunderstorm will pass in a while, I still have something to pack, I'll leave later, you can play by yourself, don't worry about me!"

"Okay, then you're going to be scared, call me."

Qin Kaixin patted his chest: "What's there to be afraid of, isn't it just a thunderstorm, I'm not a child!" With that, a sudden explosion of thunder exploded outside, so frightened that she almost dropped her phone on the ground.

This is a man, you really can't talk too much! Qin Kaixin hung up the phone, quickly closed the curtains, turned on the lights, and shrank on the sofa to wait for the rain to stop.

However, the rain did not show any signs of stopping, but became heavier and heavier, and the curtains reflected the light of lightning, and thunder after thunder, which made her mind go back to the past.

The evening in my memory was as dark as today, and it happened that it was her turn to be on duty, and after cleaning, there was a sudden strong wind outside, lightning and thunder, and a sudden pouring rain.

She brought a small parasol to school during the day, and saw that her classmates were going home one by one, and she wanted to rush, but she knew that the wind was too strong, and she barely walked to the school gate, and the parasol was blown apart by the wind, and she had to retreat to the teaching building.

At that time, the end of school in the third year of high school was generally later than that of the lower grades, and she almost had the mentality of trying her luck and went to find Pei Chen in the third year of high school, but she didn't expect that he was really still in the classroom, and saw her standing outside their classroom like a chicken in soup, and hurriedly walked out.

"You haven't come home yet? What about umbrellas? He asked.

"It's broken." She cried with a sad face, "Senior, can you help me borrow an umbrella, my class is gone." ”

"So heavy rain, how do you go? What about your parents? ”

"Touring went to ......"

"You wait!" He almost didn't think about it, so he went back to the classroom and got an umbrella out, "Let's go, I'll send you out!" ”

That day, Pei Chen sent her out of the school gate, called a taxi for her, paid for her, and finally threw the umbrella in his hand at the moment he closed the door.

"Senior, then you don't have an umbrella!" She shouted in the car through the window, and the wind and rain were so heavy that she couldn't hear it clearly.

Pei Chen didn't know what to say outside, turned around and ran away in the rain, and the tall and thin figure quickly disappeared into the heavy rain.

She still remembers the taxi driver's words: "This boy is so good to you!" ”

Yes, whether it was in the past or now, Pei Chen has always been very good to her, really good.

Outside the storm, Qin Kaixin stayed alone in the classroom, reminiscing about the bits and pieces with Pei Chen, the past was like a tranquilizer, which gradually calmed down her originally scared mood.

At this moment, she even felt that Pei Chen's reappearance might be a thunderstorm in her life, which was frightening at first, but it washed away the stuffiness for days and eliminated the torment of the scorching heat.

At this moment, Qin Kaixin suddenly burst out of inspiration, she quickly got up and came to the cupboard and developed a new variety.

Take out a few dried mint leaves, boil them in milk until fragrant, then mix the stewed mint milk with eggs, butter, flour, matcha, and powdered sugar to form a batter, pour it into a square baking dish, put it in the oven, and bake it into green sponge cake slices.

Mix mint leaves in a food processor and mix with rum in the cream for later use.

Bake and let the cake slices cool, cut them into long strips, spread a thin layer of syrup on the slightly charred side, and then spread with mint cream, and roll them up layer by layer to roll out a whirlpool-like shape.

Spread the pure white cream on the rolled swirl cake, spread the surface of the cake into a random shape like waves, and finally spray a layer of burnt yellow on the surface of the cream with a spray gun.

"Midsummer" is the name that Qin Kaixin gave to this cake.

The surface of the cream is browned, like the earth scorched by the scorching sun, but when you cut it, it is a rich green, and when you bite into it, the soft cake is sandwiched with smooth cream, and the layers of texture make the freshness of matcha and mint swirl and spread on the tip of the tongue, and the fragrance of rum is mixed in the middle, like the warm and humid sea breeze blowing in the Gulf of Mexico, which makes people indulge in this charming summer......

She picked up her mobile phone, took a photo, and sent it to Pei Chen, who was still in the middle of the flight.

***

At two o'clock in the morning Beijing time, after a full day of transfer and flight, the flight of Pei Chen and his party finally landed in Longyearbyen.

Although it is now the hottest season here, the temperature is still very low as the northernmost city in the world and the gateway to the North Pole. The west wind blew everyone in thick jackets, and no amount of excitement could match the tiredness of the long journey, and a group of people silently got off the plane and walked forward.

The first thing Pei Chen did when he got off the plane was to report Qin Kaixin's safety, but he didn't expect that as soon as he turned on his mobile phone, several photos popped up, all of which were taken by Qin Kaixin, including her newly made cake and a funny selfie of her eating cake.

Strawberry Puff: Senior, the newly made "Midsummer" is super delicious, but unfortunately it's a cold winter in your place, so I had to eat it for you unceremoniously.

Looking at it, the corners of Pei Chen's mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Yo, what are you looking at, let me see it too?" Lausanne walked over empty-handed, Xiao Feng followed behind with a large bag, she glanced at the phone screen, and immediately laughed evilly.

Lausanne: "You two don't abuse dogs in China, but you still come here to abuse dogs, so that people can't live?" ”

Xiao Feng: "Sister Sang is right! ”

Lausanne: "I just landed, and I miss someone, so I have to stay for a month, and I can't be lovesick?" ”

Xiao Feng: "Sister Sang is right! ”

Lausanne: "You repeat the machine?" ”

Xiao Feng thought for a while: "Sister Sang is right! ”

Lausanne: "......"

Pei Chen beckoned to Xiao Feng: "Come here." ”

Xiao Feng immediately leaned over and asked, "Brother Chen, is there something wrong?" ”

Pei Chen: "Are you tired of taking so much luggage?" ”

He just wanted to say, "Tired ......"

Lausanne gave him a blank look: "Such a big man, embarrassed to say that he is tired?" ”

Xiao Feng immediately changed his words: "I'm not tired, I'm not tired at all!" ”

Pei Chen patted him on the shoulder and hung the bag in his hand around his neck: "Then I'll trouble you." With that, turn around and leave.

Lausanne also patted him on the shoulder and left.

Immediately afterward, one person after another came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Mourning, brother.

Xiao Feng stood in place with a blank face: Don't go, let's be clear, what did I do wrong?

After Pei Chen arrived in Longyearbyen City, the next day, Qin Kaixin began to receive messages and photos from him one after another.

Although there was not much time to be able to get in touch, Pei Chen kept his promise before he came, contacted her every day, and sent her photos of what he had seen in the area.

A photographer who has always been uninterested in portrait photography actually took vulgar selfies for the sake of Qin Kaixin.

Even Lausanne sighed again and again: "This man, once he makes a commotion, he is even more sassy than a woman!" ”

"I found that your seniors are quite sullen." Xue Man flipped through the photos in Qin Kaixin's mobile phone and sighed.

"What's the sullenness?" Qin Kaixin asked.

"Don't you know that he is sullen, he is calm on the outside and fanatical on the inside, others see him as an iceberg, but in fact he is a volcano that will erupt at any time, and he can't stop it when he is enthusiastic." She explained.

Qin Kaixin: "Are you talking about your family's iceberg?" ”

"......" Xue Man sighed, "Please, can you not mention him?" ”

"What, there was a quarrel?"

"What are you arguing about, I want to quarrel with him." Xue Man held his face in both hands and shouted, "Life, lack of passion!" ”

"What passion? What passion? It happened that Yuan Yu walked in, and when he heard this, he immediately leaned over and asked.

"Yo-yo, do you feel that life is too dull and boring?" Xue Man asked.

Yuan Yu nodded: "Yes!" ”

She asked Qin Kaixin again: "What do you think?" ”

Qin Kaixin thought for a while: "It seems to be a little ......"

"You see, everybody's bored, or else, let's go to the bar tonight? Sister treats, don't get drunk and don't return! ”

Yuanyo was about to nod, peeked at He Yunxi, and when he saw him looking over here, he immediately changed his words: "I never go to that kind of place, on such a hot day, I still stay at home." ”

Qin Kaixin shook his head: "My parents asked me to go home for dinner at night, and I won't go." ”

"You two women who have no joy in life, are not as good as me, a married woman, who knows how to enjoy life, don't you forget it, Xiaoxue will not go to drink at night?" Xue Man asked Zhang Xue.

Zhang Xue's eyes widened: "You go to the bar, do you know?" ”

The others all looked at Xue Man: Yes, you go to the bar, does your husband agree?

Xue Man: "Forget it, I'm not going to ...... either"
