Chapter 25: Makeless Cake
Gu Yan once fantasized that one day An'an would have a birthday, and he would order her a cake as beautiful as her, not very big, six inches of fiery red three-dimensional heart, because only one person was given to her, covering the chocolate cake embryo with a layer of raspberry mousse, adding a layer of delicate Champi cream, and finally sprinkling rose pollen, just the two of them, to have a unique birthday.
But fantasies can only be imagined after all.
Gu Yan called a large table of people to go to the cafeteria to help him celebrate his birthday, and he also wanted to have a quiet dinner with An An alone, even if there was no candlelight dinner, he could be with her and be happy with anything. But he knew An'an, and she definitely wouldn't be alone with him.
Everyone chose to sit in the middle, which was enough to accommodate more than a dozen people. Gu Yan went to order, and the others spread out large bags of snacks on the long table, and a girl carried a big cake that couldn't even wrap her arm length, and put it in front of Gu Yan, with a burgundy ribbon tied with a dazzling bow.
Gu Yan untied the ribbon and carefully removed the box, the beautiful square cake made the girls present couldn't help but admire. The beige cream is attached to the cake base one by one, like a cookie shape, surrounded by fresh rose petals, a simple but elegant shape, the rose fragrance mixed with the sweetness of the cream fills the air, and everyone's face is full of satisfaction.
"It's rare to be able to call An An out, the birthday is really different!"
"Yes, Gu Yan doesn't know how happy he is today!"
"An'an, if you like it, it's okay to be friends, Gu Yan is really good."
"If your boyfriend treats you badly, we will treat you well!"
Everyone coaxed, making An An a little overwhelmed.
"Alright, don't make a fuss! People are embarrassed, if An'an is unhappy and leaves, you will be responsible! Gu Yan said with a smile.
"Don't say it! Do not say! ”
"That's it! Don't get the point wrong, is Gu Yan's birthday good today! ”
"We would like to thank Gu Yan for his generosity, so we have such a sumptuous dinner!"
"Come, put a candle and make a wish!" I don't know who shouted.
"No need, do you still want to do this?" Gu Yan said embarrassedly that he felt that the matter of making a wish was really a bit hypocritical for a boy.
"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Forever!" Everyone sang the birthday song together, the huge and empty canteen, the night was thick outside, there was only a group of people in the canteen, the lights around were dimmed, leaving only a long lamp above their heads, the darkness cut them from the outside world, the colored candles on the cake shook the flames, like dancing elves jumping on Gu Yan's heart, the firelight set off An'an's little face extraordinarily beautifully, he couldn't help but be a little trance.
"Come, make a wish!" Everyone urged Gu Yan.
"Yes, make a wish, make a wish! Hurry up! ”
Gu Yan just opened his eyes, his eyes grunted and turned around, and then he said, "Okay!" ”
He blew out the candle, cut a piece of cake and handed it to An An first, "You do it yourself, I don't care." ”
Everyone sighed.
At this moment, a familiar voice appeared, "Happy birthday, bring me a piece of cake too!" ”
The voice came from behind An'an, and the tone of voice combined with his warm breath passed through her neck, and she froze in place, her back even cold and sweaty.
The people present were stunned for a moment, that person was none other than Rebirth, and several boys who knew him well tried to break the awkward atmosphere.
"Regeneration, you're just in time."
"Yes, yes, let's do it together."
Regeneration didn't respond, as if waiting for someone to speak.
Until Gu Yan said: "Since you are here, let's go together!" ”
The corners of his mouth hooked up a hidden smile, Zhao Mengqi hurriedly vacated the position next to An An and left it for him, and he took the opportunity to sit next to An An. Everyone sat down one after another. He picked up the cake that Gu Yangang handed to An An, looked at An An with a gentle face and said, "Don't you like roses?" I'll eat it, and I'll cut another piece in the middle for you. ”
An An smiled awkwardly and nodded. Regenerate got up and re-cut a piece of cake for her, only creamy. An An couldn't help but glance at Gu Yan, he was silent, she suddenly felt that she shouldn't come, this must be an unpleasant birthday.
Regenerate wipe off the cream layer with a plastic knife and place it on your own plate and attach it to the previous piece of cake. Then he turned his head, looked at Gu Yan's face, and said with a smile, "I forgot to tell you that she doesn't like cream yet!" ”
An An bit her lip and gasped in her heart, she had never seen such a rebirth before, she was a little overwhelmed, what did he want?
Gu Yan was obviously also shocked by the regeneration's actions, he knew that he was declaring sovereignty, but he really didn't mean to rob him, he glanced at An An, she lowered her head, panicked, he was a little unbearable, smiled and said, "She's your girlfriend, how can I know?" He retreated, he didn't want to embarrass An'an, let alone embarrass himself, he didn't hate Regeneration, if he was with An'an, he would definitely not give in like Regeneration.
Rebirth seemed to have won the victory, with a bright smile on his face, and his tone was a little less sharp, "Yes." "He has no reason to continue attacking. He pushed the plate in front of An'an, "Eat, your favorite no-makeup cake." ”
Soon everyone was eating, drinking, laughing happily, and finally celebrated Gu Yan's birthday peacefully.
When the evening self-study preparation bell rang, everyone had already packed up and walked to the classroom.
Regeneration said goodbye to An'an, "I'll be waiting for you at the staircase at night!" ”
"Hmm." An Ann nodded.
"Gu Yan, thank you for the cake, it's delicious!" He shouted at Gu Yan, and there was no trace of provocation in his tone this time.
Gu Yan only nodded slightly in response.
in the dormitory.
Zhao Mengqi described the scene of celebrating his birthday with Gu Yan at night in front of other roommates, using a strange tone and exaggerated body movements, "You don't know, looking at Gu Yan again, it's really a rival in love, and I forgot to tell you that she doesn't like cream yet!" Wow, Dorman's words, I really can't imagine that he still has such a side. ”
An An pouted helplessly, didn't say anything and turned around to go outside to collect clothes.
"Then what is Gu Yan's reaction?"
"What else can I react, of course, my face has changed! Who told you not to go, such an exciting scene was missed, it's a pity! ”
"Keep going, and then what?"
"Regenerate and re-cut a piece of cake and wiped off the cream, handed it to An An and said, eat it, the no-makeup cake you like!" I really see that I'm drunk, this is the real boyfriend! Kill Gu Yan in seconds! ”
"So handsome! That's fine, too! ”
"It seems that if you are sincere, there are still rumors before that there is something ambiguous with Ximu! I guess it's fake! ”
"Can Ximu compare to An'an? It's just a little follower! An An is not stupid, she can still be robbed by her. ”
"That's it, rebirth and not blindness!"
"I can't help but worship Rebirth, he's really handsome today!"
"Boyfriend, what are you doing here?"
"It's a matter of facts!"
During this period, it has been rainy and rainy, it has been raining for many days, sometimes every one or two sunny days, the winter in the south has always been so wet and cold, although the temperature is not very low, but the feeling of wet and cold will still penetrate deep into the bone marrow, making people shiver.
Reborn had never been in the habit of carrying an umbrella, and An'an was afraid that he would get wet, so he made an appointment with him, "If it rains, we'll go together." ”
"Good. So what if it doesn't rain? As he asked, he made the habitual gesture again, touching the tail of his right eye with the index and middle fingers of his left hand.
An'an was silent and did not answer. Reborn didn't ask, he was afraid that An'an would give him answers he didn't want to hear.
Because you always have to pass through the downstairs of the girls' dormitory in An'an before you can get to the men's dormitory, every time you regenerate, you send An'an into the door of the girls' dormitory building, and then go back to the dormitory alone with an umbrella. Even if it didn't rain the next day, Rei deliberately didn't send the umbrella back, so that at night An'an would go to him to get the umbrella, and he pretended to forget it in the classroom. So I was able to walk with An'an every time. Of course, An Shore knew his intentions, and both of them tacitly knew it, and no one exposed it.
An'an wrapped her coat tightly, and the cold wind howled, almost blowing her apart.
"Why do you keep shaking every time you do this?" Rebirth is like talking to oneself.
"Me too, it's too windy, it's too cold." Anshore felt the same way.
"Maybe it's because I'm so excited to be with you." Regeneration said in a teasing tone.
"Excited?" An'an has never been able to catch the point of regenerative humor.
"Hmm."
"Aren't you excited? My heart beats faster every time I see you! Regeneration continued.
"Heart disease?"
"Are you afraid?"
An Shore ignored it and changed the subject, "I'm going to Linjiang City during the winter vacation." ”
"When?"
"After the holidays."
"Then can I send you back to the dormitory every day in the future?"
Before An An could answer, Regeneration added, "It's been a few days, I'll miss you if you're not there." ”
An Ann nodded.
"Can you give me back the umbrella?" The umbrella's responsibilities seem to have been fulfilled, and there is no need to stay with the regeneration any longer.
"Put me there, even if it rains anyway, I'll hold an umbrella for you!" A wicked smile on his face again.
"The sky is so dark today, there is only one star, do you see it?" An'an turned his head and said to Regeneration.
"See, there's another one." Regeneration raised his head, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a warm orange smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Where?" An'an craned his neck, searching the boundless night sky with his eyes.
"Right next to it." Regeneration said firmly.
"Where? How can I not see? ”
"Probably like somebody who always likes to hide."
An An glanced at Regeneration in confusion, he smiled, An An understood, and smiled. “
