Chapter 21: Birthday Cake

In order to prepare the gift, Qiao Xing started to work more than half a month in advance, and at first she wanted to buy something he liked and give it to him, but she didn't know what he liked after thinking about it for a long time, and she couldn't ask directly, so there would be no surprise at all.

After thinking about it, in the end she decided to make him a birthday cake herself.

But Qiao Xing has been petite since she was a child, and she rarely even steps into the kitchen, let alone any cakes, she has read a lot of books, and consulted a lot of ways to make cakes on the Internet, but they are all just literal things, and there is a lack of practical exercises, so she simply signed up for a crash course in cake baking.

In the second half of that month, she went straight to the study class almost as soon as she studied at night, and only came back from the wall when the lights were about to go out in the dormitory.

Once, she was almost caught by the dormitory manager, but luckily she ran fast. Otherwise, if you are caught, you will have to be punished for cleaning the toilet.

Fortunately, there was no danger at that time, and the days after that were all smooth, except for the last time I twisted my foot over the wall.

Huang Tian never lived up to her wishes, and when she looked at the finished cake she made, her previous hard work was not in vain.

"Qiao Xing, I seriously suspect that you are making this cake to poison us."

Mo Jinyu accompanied her to tinker in the kitchen all morning, and when she saw the Dongzi made by Qiao Xing who vaguely saw that it was a cake, she couldn't help but ask such questions.

"you, you don't have vision, if you want to poison the first one, I'll poison you first." Qiao Xing glared at him viciously, and then carefully framed the last process.

"Cut, you heavy relatives and friends, I don't know who has been accompanying you since the morning to prepare these dongzi, I can't even hear a nice word, hey! It seems that I am really careless in making friends, careless in making friends! ”

This day is Jiang Yifan's birthday, and Qiao Xing found Mo Jinyu to discuss his plan to celebrate Jiang Yifan's birthday. Since Mo Jinyu was the only one who knew about them, he became the only guest. It happened to be the weekend, and Qiao Yunyuan and Li Shaoling were not at home, so Qiao Xing decided to set the location at her house.

She looked at the cake in her hand, although it was the first time she had made it, and the shape was not very shaped, but she could still see the appearance of the cake.

She knew that Jiang Yifan liked the vanilla flavor, so she made the whole cake vanilla flavor, although the taste was the least favorite for her, but she thought that this little thing for Jiang Yifan was completely negligible.

She held the cake in both hands, looking at Jiang Yifan through the light of the candle, he was smiling and waiting for her to pass, Qiao Xing fantasized that he would blow out the candle and make their first wish to spend their first birthday together. I don't know what wish Jiang Yifan will make, and whether it will have something to do with her.

And at this moment, a person suddenly rushed out from behind her, hitting her and stumbling. Qiao Xing watched as the cake slipped out of her hand and finally fell onto the smooth floor and became an unformed lump.

Everyone present was stunned and watched everything that was happening in front of them, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely embarrassing. And the perpetrator Tang Xiaotang was stupid after the cake landed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's all my fault, I just wanted to give Yifan a gift, and I didn't notice that you were holding a cake in your hand. Xiaotang was speechless several times, and tears fell after a few turns in his eyes.

Mo Jinyu knew Qiao Xing's temperament very well, and she didn't have an immediate attack at this time, presumably because she didn't want to make everyone too ugly, "Forget it, she didn't mean it." What towels do you go to get and dispose of the ground first. ”

The second half of his sentence was addressed to Xiaotang, who wiped a handful of tears as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then ran to the kitchen, and came back with a rag for mopping the floor and a bucket with water after a while.

"Forget it, it's just a piece of cake, don't eat it if it's a big deal, don't make everyone unhappy." Jiang Yifan took the first step, picked up the rag and squatted down to clean up the wreckage of the cake.

A piece of cake is just a piece of cake, he said it so easily, he knows that this is the first time she has made a cake for someone else, how much effort she has put into learning to make a cake, it is full of her heart for him, he can say that it is just a cake so easily.

Qiao Xing originally had a fire in her heart, but thinking that it was Jiang Yifan's birthday, and her friends didn't want to sweep everyone's temperament, she repeatedly suppressed the fire in her heart, but as soon as he said this, she couldn't hold it back anymore, and threw the rag in his hand to Xiaotang, along with the white cream remaining on the rag.

"The last thing our family lacks is a servant, what kind of work are you doing here?"

As soon as these words came out, I saw Xiaotang's face turn from red to green, and finally became pale and bloodless.

"Qiao Xing, you went too far, she said it wasn't intentional, why do you have to do it unrelentingly."

If it was someone else, even if Qiao Xing was holding her breath in her heart, she would see that others didn't mean to hit her, and she would be gone. But this person is Tang Xiaotang, after all the previous experiences, Qiao Xing has long been not very optimistic about Tang Xiaotang's personality.

The most hateful thing is that Jiang Yifan is still defending her, which makes Qiao Xing even more unable to hold back this breath.

"What is the matter that I don't forgive, didn't she open her mouth and close her mouth to call me Miss, since she thinks she is my maid, then she should do what a maid should do."

At this moment, Aunt Zhang, who had been drying clothes outside the house, heard the movement in the house, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw Tang Xiaotang's crying pear blossom squatting on the ground with rain, wiping the cake on the ground with a rag, and then looking at the expression on Qiao Xing's face, Aunt Zhang, who was good at observing words and feelings, probably saw what was going on.

Without saying a word, she stepped forward and snatched the rag in Tang Xiaotang's hand, cleaned up the cake without saying a word, and the location of the cake was as clean as new, and then she got up and smiled at Qiao Xing, "Our Xiaotang has studied well since she was a child, so the family is reluctant to let her clean it, she is clumsy and hopes that you will take care of it more in front of your aunt." ”

Aunt Zhang said this to Qiao Xing, and after speaking, she pulled Tang Xiaotang, who was crying, and walked outside the house.

Qiao Xing laughed angrily, pointed to Tang Xiaotang's back and laughed: "You look at her mother's grievances, she doesn't look like a girl who has just been punished by her master."

Jiang Yifan looked at Qiao Xing helplessly, and said in a low tone: "Don't you think you're too aggressive?" It's too hard to talk about. ”

Qiao Xing was already angry with what he said just now, and he didn't want to pay attention to him at the moment, so he coldly dropped a sentence: "If you think she is pitiful, it's not too late to chase her out."

Jiang Yifan was angry: "You know I didn't mean that."

Seeing this, Mo Jinyu hurriedly stepped forward to play a round: "Okay, eldest lady, the cake is gone, and the anger is enough." Let's go, let's go eat something outside! ”

Qiao Xing glanced at him angrily, and walked two steps to the sofa, "I'm full of gas and I still have the heart to eat, forget it, it's not my birthday anyway, you can go where you like to eat, I wish you a good time." ”

After she finished speaking, she got up and walked upstairs, Mo Jinyu saw that Jiang Yifan didn't move, so she hurriedly followed: "Wait for me, the book you said you were going to show me last time hasn't been read yet......"

Jiang Yifan stood there in a panic, and at the right time, Tang Xiaotang, who was called away by Aunt Zhang, folded back again, with a change of clean clothes on his body, and a beautifully packaged boxy box in his hand.

"I'm sorry, I messed up my birthday."

Jiang Yifan shook his head a little helplessly: "You can't be blamed for this, you didn't mean it, Qiao Xing's temperament is urgent, don't worry about her......"

Of course, Jiang Yifan didn't know what he said, and he happened to be heard by Qiao Xing, who came down from the upper floor.

"She's right, it's all my fault, it's all my stuff and I want to give you some kind of bullshit birthday."

Qiao Xing almost shouted out this sentence, she didn't know why she cared so much about Jiang Yifan's attitude towards Tang Xiaotang, she only knew that Jiang Yifan's appearance of maintaining Tang Xiaotang like this was very annoying, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Qiao Xing, can you stop being so willful, she has told you about humility, what do you want?" Jiang Yifan actually just doesn't want to make things too stiff, no matter what, Qiao Xing and Tang Xiaotang live under the same roof, and they don't see each other when they look up and look down, if they make too much trouble, won't it be embarrassing to get along in the future?

It's just that Qiao Xing doesn't care what Jiang Yifan thinks now, he is so angry that Qiao Xing can't lose his temper, his eyes are sour and uncomfortable, something turns around in it, and then it slides down his cheeks.

"Since you like her so much, then you get out of my house with her, get out of my house! Get lost! ”

The last roll was almost roared with all her might, of course Qiao Xing knew how ugly her face was red and her neck was thick at this time, maybe it just made Xiaotang laugh, so she turned around and rushed back to her own room, locking the door.

Mo Jinyu followed closely behind, wanting to untie Qiao Xing, but was locked out of the door by Qiao Xing. In the end, he went downstairs stupidly, and when he passed by Jiang Yifan's side, he stopped, looked at Jiang Yifan with a frown, and said meaningfully: "If I were you, I would never let her be sad for an irrelevant person." After saying that, he left.

Mo Jinyu's irrelevant words completely pierced Tang Xiaotang's heart, she always knew that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't fit into Qiao Xing's circle, but Jiang Yifan was different, he was more approachable than Qiao Xing, only he would treat her as a friend.

But now she suddenly realized that it was just her wishful thinking, just like Jiang Yifan's birthday didn't actually invite her, so she was still an irrelevant person.

Tears fell to the ground like raindrops, Jiang Yifan, who originally wanted to go upstairs, saw Tang Xiaotang like this, and was a little idle for a while, and finally decided to calm her down first.

After Qiao Xing returned to the room, he fell headlong on the bed, and the strange thing was that the feeling of wanting to cry just now completely dissipated at this moment, and the rest were Jiang Yifan's words. She couldn't help but wonder if it was really her own excesses.

No, she wasn't overdoing it at all, it was they who were overdoing it, and they didn't care how much thought she put into that cake.
