Time is like water, passing away without return.

In the blink of an eye, it's Saturday, December 24th, and tonight is Christmas Eve.

Two weeks have passed since the day Lu You took Tang Wan's little hand. During this period, they did not make any progress. There was neither a new hug, nor a new hand-holding, returning to the original state of the two.

It's not that Lu You doesn't want to, he can't wait to take Tang Wan home and sleep in his arms. It's just that they haven't had time to be alone for more than ten days, and they are all in school, and some things can't be done too obviously.

As for the preliminaries of the top ten singers on campus, it is no surprise that he successfully passed and directly guaranteed the finals, and even the preliminary round was exempted.

In the afternoon, the bell rang for the end of the third period.

"Brother Lu, can you help me solve my doubts?"

Yuan Wenliang's daily emotional counseling, Lu You has become accustomed to it, and it is a daily must-have program. If he didn't ask, Lu You felt that something was missing.

Lu You put away the textbook and turned sideways, posing as if he was listening carefully.

"You say, I'm listening."

"It's Christmas tomorrow, do I need a gift for her?"

"Have you asked her personally? What did she say? ”

"Asked. She once said, 'Christmas is not a traditional holiday, there is no need to make so many bells and whistles'. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I think she is reasonable, there is no need to celebrate the festival of foreigners, so I am not prepared."

Ah, this man is hopeless.

How did Ye Hongshu fall in love with this wood?

After reading so many books, he has also read a lot of stories about talented and beautiful women, why is he so stupid?

Lu You didn't want to complain about Yuan Wenliang anymore, and told him every day how to treat girls, he didn't understand, but he just couldn't apply what he had learned.

"If she can't make it right, you really don't give gifts?"

Yuan Wenliang tilted his head, with great confusion written on his face.

"Isn't that so?"

"Alas!"

Lu You sighed, he really didn't see it, he held his forehead with his right hand, and looked down thinking about how to explain it to him. It took a long time before I looked up at him.

"Let me give you an example. Now do you want to eat chocolate. ”

"I should, I don't want to."

"Well, if the teacher walks up to the podium now and hands out a piece of chocolate to everyone, there will be none. Even if you don't want to eat it right now, how would you feel? ”

Yuan Wenliang lowered his eyes and imitated the scene he said in his mind, thoughtfully.

"I should, very unhappy."

"That's right! Just because she says she doesn't care doesn't mean you can't give gifts. If you don't send it, she will definitely be unhappy, and if you send it, it is possible to be unhappy. ”

Yuan Wenliang frowned, and asked puzzledly: "Why is it possible to be unhappy when you send it?" ”

"Would you be happy if I gave you a set of women's clothes?"

Yuan Wenliang: Õ_Õ

"No, it won't."

"You don't give her gifts at Christmas, not for the holidays. It's about showing that you care about her and letting her know that you have her in your heart. ”

"Hmm." Yuan Wenliang nodded, indicating understanding.

"Do you know what to give?"

"At this stage, it's not suitable to give any jewelry or anything like that. The best thing to eat is some food, fruits, milk tea, chocolate, cakes, etc., in fact, it is all right. Of course, it has to be in line with her heart, and it has to reflect your intentions. ”

"It's so difficult!"

"In the beginning, it was like this. First acquaintance, I didn't know each other. What she likes, what she doesn't like, and what her personal habits are, all take time and effort to understand. ”

Yuan Wenliang's head widened when he heard this. For him, courting a girl is as difficult as studying physics, if not more.

Lu You patted him on the shoulder with emotion, feeling a sense of sympathy.

"Learn slowly, who is born to make girls happy?"

"You! How good you and Tang Wan are doing?"

Yuan Wenliang looked enviously at the hair ring on Lu You's wrist. No boy would take the initiative to wear this thing, unless someone asked for it.

Lu You stroked the hair ring on his right wrist, and Tang Wan's figure appeared in front of him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up.

"I wasn't born either. I watched those up masters in pairs at station b, and I learned it a little bit. ”

He was made a lot of dog food by the sci-fi area of station B.

Brush station b every night, and a dog abuse pops up from time to time on the homepage. He was like a passing dog that was suddenly kicked by someone.

"Brother Lu!"

Yuan Wenliang grabbed Lu You's hand and said seriously and seriously: "Can you share a few videos?" Let me also observe and observe. ”

Lu You was about to speak, when Meng Yi's ecstatic voice came from the side.

"You two are together! Don't I have a chance with those two goddesses? ”

The two quickly withdrew their hands, and Lu You also pulled down his sleeves by the way to cover the hair ring. If you show this big mouth, it will be terrible. Although he doesn't mind being known, he doesn't want to be the talk of his mouth either.

Lu You turned around and saw Meng Yi carrying a schoolbag and an apple in his hand.

"There is a lot of urine in the toilet, and if you don't wake up, you can go and wash your face."

"Huh! Brother Lu, you are Chiguoguo's jealousy! ”

Meng Yi took out the apple in his hand, walked around in front of the two, and showed off: "See, what is this called?" ”

Yuan Wenliang stretched his neck, and after careful observation, he said honestly: "An apple." ”

"No, no, no! This is no ordinary apple. That's ......."

didn't wait for him to finish, Lu You answered directly for him.

"Deputy squad leader Li is the apple of my dream."

Why does Lu You know? Because she was the only one who gave one to the whole class.

"How do you interrupt someone!"

Meng Yi complained to him, and then continued: "That's right, this is the deputy squad leader's recognition of my charm." Do you think the deputy squad leader has a crush on me? That's right, Iron Crush! Do you think if she confesses to me? ”

The two looked at him speechlessly, where did this confidence come from?

Yuan Wenliang will take care of his face, and Lu You can't get used to his complacent appearance.

"Do you like apples?"

"Huh?" Meng Yi didn't understand what he meant, he only thought that he was souring himself and someone was giving apples on Christmas Eve.

"It's not a question of whether you like to eat apples or not, but the deputy squad leader's recognition of my charm, do you understand!"

"Oh."

Lu You made a perfunctory sound, then lifted a full plastic bag from the ground and placed it on the table, which was full of large and red apples.

"These are the things we both received from the girls in the class today, if you like to eat them, I'll give them to you."

The red and bright apples were like sharp knives piercing Meng Yi's heart.

I saw the smile on his face, like ashes scattered in the wind, disappearing in an instant.

"No...... Aren't there more than a dozen more than me? I'll just ask the deputy squad leader to send me this one! ”

Lu You continued to mend the knife.

"You're right. There are also two of them that she gave, why don't you pick them out and take them? ”

“nm！ I'm not playing with you anymore! I'm going to fire you! ”

Meng Yi shed tears and fled.

If you don't give him some aggression, you can't recognize who you are.

Lu You chuckled, and then began to pack his schoolbag.

"Aren't you studying with Tang Wan tonight?"

"No, there's still work to be done. Went first. ”

After speaking, Lu You picked up his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom.

……

Shen Yuan, North Garden.

After dinner, Lu You tied his apron, set up the camera, and started recording.

The camera already stores the whole process he took two weeks ago, from the beginning of the cacao nut to the white chocolate.

First, the kernels were dug out and fermented at a sealed constant temperature for up to seven days, for which he also specially bought a fermentation box, and every night when he went home, he had to absorb water and turn the sample.

The beans are then placed in the oven and dried several times to reduce the moisture content and bring out the aromas of the chocolate.

Next, the dried cocoa beans are peeled off and crushed in a wall breaker. Fill the crushed cocoa beans in a filter bag, put them in a steamer and steam them for half an hour, and then use the dumbbells in the gym to squeeze out the cloudy cocoa butter.

Finally, strain the cloudy cocoa butter to obtain translucent cocoa butter, add frosting and milk powder, stir well, heat the pouring mold, and put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate and solidify. Yesterday, I managed to get a round and smooth white chocolate.

During the whole process, Lu You can be said to be very proficient, without any mistakes. In his previous life, he had made chocolate more than once, and the experience of failure had long been familiar to him.

Lu You took out a few pieces of chocolate and a basin of ice water from the refrigerator, ready to melt the chocolate and start the temperature adjustment work.

At this time, he noticed that there was a piece that was a few centimeters shorter.

"Mom, how can you steal it!"

Shen Yuyin's straightforward voice came from the living room.

"What do you mean by stealing food? Isn't it just to eat? ”

"I'm still useful! What if it's not enough? ”

"Cold salad! I've already eaten it anyway, what can you do? I didn't say you spent my husband's money yet! ”

No way!

How could there be such a scoundrel mother!

Lu You had no choice but to endure it. is someone else's son, and there is no reason to refute it at all. Although it can't be said that there is enough chocolate left, the tolerance for error is definitely a lot lower.

He puts the chocolate in a stainless steel melting pot and melts the white chocolate plate little by little with 40°C water. Then pour 2/3 of the melted chocolate liquid on the marble thermostat, scrape and cut back and forth with a chocolate thermostat, and measure the temperature with an infrared thermometer from time to time to ensure that the temperature is not lower than 27 degrees Celsius.

At this time, Shen Yuyin, who heard the voice, walked to the kitchen to see what his son was doing.

When the temperature is about to drop to 27°C, Lu You shovels all the chocolate liquid back into the pot, and uses ice water and a heat gun to adjust the temperature until the chocolate liquid remains at 30°C.

A boy with outstanding looks is enough to attract the attention of girls. What if this boy is in the kitchen, wearing an apron and making desserts seriously?

That can only be described as incomparable, and no one will be able to resist this scene.

Shen Yuyin is like this.

Lu You's calm and serious appearance and attentive appearance reminded her of the scene where Lu Jianyan was most heartwarming. Make her milk tea in the kitchen.

It's worthy of my husband and me!

With such a look, this craft, how can anyone not be tempted!

Lu You's scalp was numb by his mother's view, and he felt uncomfortable.

"Mom, what are you looking at?"

Shen Yuyin came back to his senses and said casually: "It's okay, you just continue, I'll take a look, just when I don't exist." ”

Well, I'm going to have to get the old bus food tonight.

On the other side, Lu Jianyan, who was playing with his little lover on the second floor, suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and a catastrophe was coming.

Lu Youhu looked at Shen Yuyin suspiciously, but unfortunately he didn't find anything strange, so he could only give up.

"Mom, how does the chocolate you eat taste?"

"It's very good, the taste is silky, the milk flavor is rich, and the sweetness is just right."

Lu You nodded, since the taste is not bad, let's start concave shape.

He didn't plan to give the white chocolate board to Tang Wan directly. I feel that there is still a lack of heart, and it just so happened that he saw a chocolate chrysanthemum making video at station b, so he simply came to restore it.

"Son, what else are you going to do? Isn't the chocolate already ready? ”

Lu You smiled slightly, not explaining too much.

"Just look at it."

At this time, the mobile phone next to him rang a VX call, and the VX name displayed on the screen - Wan, Shen Yuyin and Lu You all saw it.

Shen Yuyin took the phone, clicked on the answer button and speaker, and then put the phone back on the desktop. The action was done in one go, and Lu You didn't even have time to react.

The sound of water and song came from the phone.

"Hey, Lu You, can you hear me?"
