Tang Xu and Qin Zheng went home as usual, but because they spent some time at the ice cream shop on Zhongyuan Street, the two of them had not eaten dinner yet and began to plan what they would have for today's dinner.

"My family bought hot pot meatballs and meat rolls last time. I will buy some vegetables later and we will cook hot pot for dinner."

After getting off the subway, Tang Xu thought of the inventory in his refrigerator and suggested to Qin Zheng.

"Okay, I can go get some food again, that's great."

Qin Zheng was happy to hear that she could go to Tang Xu's house for dinner again. When she smiled, the pear dimples on her cheeks were very cute.

"I can buy some ears of corn from the vegetable market later."

"Baomi? What is that?"

Qin Zheng tilted his head slightly and heard a strange term from Tang Xu's mouth.

"That's corn."

Tang Xu explained patiently, and the two of them walked all the way from the station to the vegetable market they had visited before. After careful selection, they selected a few side dishes that could be added to the hot pot and bought them at the entrance of the vegetable market.

I had boiled corn as the staple food, and also had udon noodles added to the hot pot, which was considered a complete meal.

The two of them were carrying their purchases back to Tang Xu's house. When they were about to pass by Tang Xu's cake shop, Tang Xu felt guilty and was a little afraid that the clerk, Aunt Wang, would not be able to explain when she saw him and Qin Zheng together, so he looked sneaky.

Evil.

At this moment, the door of the cake shop was pushed open from inside.

Zhao Zhishui walked out of the cake shop, holding a box of small cream cakes in his hand.

When she saw the two people walking towards her, she reached out and pushed up the gold-rimmed round glasses on the bridge of her nose.

"Zhao Zhishui, you came to my store to buy cakes. Thank you for your patronage."

When Tang Xu saw Zhao Zhishui, he took the initiative to say hello.

Zhao Zhishui's eyes were fixed on Qin Zheng beside Tang Xu.

Qin Zheng was taller than Zhao Zhishui, so she raised her head slightly.

"Hi."

Qin Zheng also extended his hand and shook it slightly to say hello to Zhao Zhishui. Zhao Zhishui just nodded towards the two of them, hummed slightly, put the small cake box in his hand into the basket, and then rode on

I picked up the green shared bicycle parked in front of the store and went home.

The two of them looked at Zhao Zhishui's back as he rode away. Qin Zheng suddenly asked Tang Xu, "Does this study committee member often come to your cake shop to buy things?"

"Well, I also applied for a membership card."

Tang Xu responded calmly.

He knew that Zhao Zhishui would buy things in his cake shop because Tang Xu happened to meet her in the cake shop once before. However, Zhao Zhishui was not surprised by Tang Xu's appearance, just like

It’s like I’ve known for a long time that this cake shop is owned by Tang Xu’s family.

Zhao Zhishui was not tall to begin with. He was a member of the study committee in the class and his academic performance was stable and ranked first in the class. In addition, he was not serious about talking or smiling, so he did not have any close classmates in the class.

Looking at the back of Zhao Zhishui's petite body riding a shared bicycle farther and farther along the road, Tang Chu couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is there no other cake shop near her home, so she rode here specially to buy cakes?

It should be a very troublesome thing.

Tang Xu finally determined that the reason why Zhao Zhishui went to his own store to buy cakes was because his pastry chef was very skilled and the desserts he made were more delicious.

"Go say hello to auntie."

Seeing that they had arrived at the door of the cake shop, Qin Zheng suggested.

"..."

Tang Xu had no objection. Of course he couldn't have any objection. After all, it was only reasonable for his niece to meet his aunt.

Tang Xu was worried. As the saying goes, people's words are scary. Li Yong, the pastry chef of the cake shop, had a good personal relationship with Tang Xu's father. Tang Xu was worried that Li Yong would tell his father that he was close to Qin Zheng.

.

When the time comes to have your own father gossip about you, that will be a very social thing...

After Qin Zheng opened the door again and walked into the cake shop, Tang Xu was filled with emotions.

The last time they appeared together in his family's cake shop was when they first met. The scene at that time is still vivid in Tang Xu's mind now that he thinks about it.

At that time, Qin Zheng entered the cake shop and dialed Tang Xu's WeChat voice. When he confirmed that Tang Xu was the person he was looking for, Tang Xu felt uneasy because Qin Zheng's aura was very strong at that time.

If he had known at that time that Qin Zheng would be so frightened by the thunder that he would curl up and tremble in bed, he probably wouldn't be so scared.

As soon as Aunt Wang saw the two of them entering the door, her kind face immediately burst into laughter.

"Auntie."

Qin Zheng called Aunt Wang sweetly, and Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly.

"Why do you have time to come here together today? Are you going home from school to cook and eat hot pot? It's pretty good."

Aunt Wang looked at the ingredients in the bags in their hands, and she could tell at a glance that they were going to cook hot pot.

The main reason is that the bright red hot pot base packaging is too obvious.

"Calling someone, what are you doing standing there in a daze?"

Qin Zheng pushed Tang Xu who was standing aside. Tang Xu looked dumbfounded, nodded, and then spoke.

"Aunt...ah no, Aunt Wang..."

Hearing Tang Xu's slip of the tongue, the smile on Aunt Wang's face became even stronger.

"What are you doing, taking advantage of me?"

There was a hint of questioning in Qin Zheng's tone, and Tang Xu was helpless. He just followed what Qin Zheng said because his brain had a short-circuit just now.

"I was brought into the ditch by you. Who cares to take advantage of you?"

What should he be nervous about? This cake shop belongs to him, and he, Tang Chu, is the small boss. He can take whatever he wants from here.

"Auntie, have you eaten?"

Qin Zheng asked softly to Aunt Wang, who nodded.

"Li Yong and I ate together. Since we hadn't gotten off work before dinner time, we basically cooked and ate in the store. There are special cubicles in the back kitchen for cooking, and there are no places to make cakes.

have an impact.”

"That's good."

Qin Zheng felt relieved and nodded.

"I'll call your mother later after get off work and tell her that you're living a good life here and make her feel more at ease."

"My mother doesn't care about me. She only cares about the projects in her company."

Qin Zheng complained about her biological mother without any scruples, and the dissatisfaction on her face was clearly revealed.

"Don't say that, she's not doing it for your own good. When you grow up, she can at least give you a large dowry."

"I don't need a dowry. If I want to marry someone, I don't want a betrothal gift or a dowry. It doesn't matter if I don't have a house or a car, as long as he treats me well."

"Well, I have my own store at home, and it's good to run a small business and live a self-sufficient life."

When Aunt Wang said this, she kept looking at Tang Xu next to Qin Zheng. Tang Xu felt his cheeks burning hot.

"Okay, you go home and cook hot pot. It's already that time, so you have to eat on time and take care of your body."

"I know, then let's go, auntie."

Qin Zheng said goodbye to her aunt with a smile, and turned around, but Tang Xu was no longer beside her.

She looked towards the counter where various desserts were placed. Tang Xu was packing them, packing whatever he liked.

"Tang Chu, won't you put your own shop out of business like this?"

"When my dad opened this store, he was already prepared for it to be shut down by my mom. If I don't run it well now, it'll be fine."

Tang Xu packed some biscuits and fruits of various flavors in plastic bags, and took two small dessert cream cakes, ready to go back and eat them with Qin Zheng.

"Tang Chu, if you take my share, please see how much it costs. I will pay."

Qin Zheng didn't want to take advantage of it in vain, so she took out her mobile phone and prepared to scan the QR code to pay.

Tang Xu couldn't resist her, and Qin Zheng finally paid for her share of the cream cake.

"It wouldn't be fair to Zhao Zhishui if I could eat this little cake without spending any money."

When he saw the payment success interface, Qin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Tang Xu.

Tang Xu raised his eyebrows and nodded in agreement.

There is nothing absolutely fair in this world.

"If you want to be able to eat cakes here for free and make it a matter of course without feeling guilty, there is another way."

"any solution?"

Qin Zheng blinked and asked Tang Xu, but Tang Xu shrugged and spread his hands, looking indifferent.

Aunt Wang on the side understood it almost instantly, feeling in her heart that young people's love is too straightforward.
