Pink strawberries are arranged in a circle and decorated with the words "happybirthday" in the middle of the cake.
Han Xiaotao made some final touches, then clapped her hands and she was done. "Xiaoxiao, it's ready to be packaged. The customer will come and pick it up later."
Tang Xiaoxiao asked worriedly while wrapping the cake: "Xiao Tao, does it really matter if you go to school tomorrow?"
"What?" Han Xiaotao didn't know if he really didn't know what she was worried about or if he just pretended not to know. Anyway, he looked bitter and resentful these past two days, and he was always a little absent-minded.
"Cui Minhao. Sakura Road High School is his family's territory. You just offended him. What if he harasses you in school?" Tang Xiaoxiao looked worried. Han Xiaotao felt that this "uneasy" was faintly hidden.
With a hint of excitement, she glanced at Tang Xiaoxiao and asked disapprovingly: "So?"
"So you should need someone to escort you." Tang Xiaoxiao slapped the table and stood up, speaking righteously.
Han Xiaotao rolled her eyes at her, knowing earlier that this girl's motives were impure. "Come on, it's even more unsafe with you around."
"Hey, what do you mean? I have good intentions and want to help you!" Tang Xiaoxiao complained aggrievedly.
Han Xiaotao smiled bitterly, shrugged her shoulders, and said, "I don't know about your colorful intestines yet? Next week is the Cherry Blossom Festival, do you want to help me?" Tang Xiaoxiao could only mumble.
He kept his mouth shut. Han Xiaotao said again: "Besides, even if you are here, what can you do to help me? Cui Minhao may not do anything to me. It was his fault first..." This sentence was a bit unclear.
Confidence.
Tang Xiaoxiao sighed, "Actually, to be honest, Xiaotao, don't you really think it's a bit unfair to Master Cui?"
"Ah? What?" Han Xiaotao was stunned and looked at Tang Xiaoxiao in confusion.
"I specially prepared a yacht to take you home and accompany you to the hospital. When you see other men so close to each other, you can understand why you are jealous, right? And I think Master Cui looks pretty good.
I have always felt that such a young master, although he is attractive, is not very reliable, but I always feel that there is something different about Master Cui. Don’t you think Xiaotao thinks that he is good to you, you should know best, right? "
The scene of Cui Minhao risking his life to rescue him twice suddenly appeared in Han Xiaotao's mind. If this is not applauded, what else? But... But why things turned out like this, she didn't know, let alone
It was clear what to do. She shook her head randomly and said impatiently: "Oh, don't miss him. They are not the same person anyway. How can we be together? It's simply impossible..." I don't know why,
Although she pretended to say such words calmly, her heart still twitched uncomfortably.
"Why? Is it because he is the eldest son of Sapphire? But our Xiaotao is not bad either. At least he is optimistic, strong, kind, and filial. Is this kind of character comparable to those of the so-called wealthy families?"
Tang Xiaoxiao pouted and said. She said it so sincerely and without any compliment that Han Xiaotao didn't even bother to refute. She just shrugged and said, "It's not such a problem at all!"
"What's that?" Tang Xiaoxiao remained unyielding.
Han Xiaotao was at a loss for words after being asked, so she could only go further: "Even regardless of family status, maybe he doesn't know the real me at all. If he says he likes me like this, don't you think it's not credible? He
Can my love really tolerate everything? I don’t know whether this is good or bad for Cui Minhao, but for myself, it would be a good thing to end it earlier."
"But that would be too selfish!" Tang Xiaoxiao shouted out without hesitation this time.
Han Xiaotao was stunned for a moment and asked awkwardly. "Huh?" Even if she felt this way herself, this girl didn't have to say it so directly, right?
"Isn't it? Isn't it selfish to doubt other people's hearts and hurt others because of your own wavering?" Tang Xiaoxiao's tone became excited.
"Hey, you girl, your elbows are turned outward, isn't it too obvious?" Han Xiaotao said blankly.
"Don't you think it's shameful to use your own heart to make such a decision and deprive others of their rights?" Tang Xiaoxiao spoke more and more harshly.
"What's wrong with you?" Han Xiaotao sensed something was wrong and looked at Tang Xiaoxiao with wide eyes.
"It's not like I'm in love, what can I do?" Tang Xiaoxiao said angrily, "It's not like I'm being dumped anyway, so it's none of my business what happens. Such things are not something I can decide, right?
It's not Cui Minhao's decision." There was a flash of loneliness in her eyes, which gently touched Han Xiaotao's heart.
"Smile..." Han Xiaotao patted her shoulder, not knowing what to say.
"I'm sorry." Tang Xiaoxiao choked with sobs.
"Did you think of something unhappy?" Han Xiaotao asked. Xiaoxiao has always been cheerful, and it is rare to see her like this. Although she also knows that children who have experienced the orphan era, how can they not feel a little trauma?
Normally Xiaoxiao would not show this, and she could even say to everyone that she was an adopted child. On this point, Han Xiaotao felt that she was more courageous than him.
"My family..." Tang Xiaoxiao hesitated, with an indescribable pain and loneliness on his face, "My family abandoned me just because of this name. The mother at the orphanage said that I was
When I left it at the door of the orphanage, I was carrying something written on a piece of paper, saying that I thought my family would not survive if I stayed with them, so they cruelly abandoned me. But I had never tried hard, and I didn’t know what the future would bring.
How could you abandon me as a baby in a strange place? Isn't it too selfish? You are obviously afraid of being dragged down by me, so you are like this, but you find excuses, saying it is for my own good, this is not the case
Disgraceful behavior?" There were faint tears in Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes, and you can imagine the entanglement in her heart. Although she didn't say it for so many years, it didn't mean that she didn't mind. She could accept that she was adopted, but she couldn't accept it because of this
Ridiculous reasons are discarded.
Xiaotao hugged Tang Xiaoxiao and comforted her, saying, "Silly girl, maybe they really have a last resort? Even if it's what you said, they should be the ones who are sad, because they don't know what a good child they have abandoned." She wiped.
With tears on his face, he continued: "I still remember when I first met you, it happened to be the time when I lost my mother, and the whole world seemed to be dark. If you hadn't approached me and given me
I gave you a hug that is so warm to this day. I really don’t know how long it will take to get out of that shadow. As you said, we need the same strength to live well in this world that has been unfair to us from the beginning.
.So, we should wipe away our tears and move forward, leaving behind the past."
"Xiao Tao, can you do that?" Tang Xiaoxiao asked with eyes flashing.
Han Xiaotao looked hesitant, not knowing how to answer. She could not be disappointed with Tang Xiaoxiao's serious expression, but she was afraid of giving an answer that would make her even more disappointed.
"For Cui Minhao, you concealed your life experience, right? That's why you are afraid that the true you will disappoint him. In the past, we were all unpopular children in school, even the elders of those children
, will also be prejudiced against our background, not to mention the mythical eldest young master of the Cui family. You don’t dare, because you still have low self-esteem, right? But have you ever thought about it, this is too unfair to Cui Minhao?
Well, he doesn't have the right to choose at all." Tang Xiaoxiao said seriously.
Han Xiaotao shook her head and said, "The relationship between me and him is not that simple." Her eyes became dim. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. A guest has come in."
Tang Xiaoxiao looked up and saw a petite girl pushing open the glass door and walking in.
"Hello, what do you need?" Han Xiaotao asked politely.
The girl's bright eyes looked over Han Xiaotao, flashed with dazzling light, and shouted in surprise: "Is it you?"
Han Xiaotao looked at the girl in front of him in confusion, seemingly unresponsive.
"You are senior Su Zhiyu's friend, right? I saw you last time at peachblossom." The girl said happily.
Han Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, and her memory slowly went back. Jin Enzhe... this girl... Suddenly a picture flashed through her mind, the spilled juice! Only then did she look again at the plaid lady skirt in front of her, with the hand on her hand
The girl wearing an LV leather bag, with long silky hair tied in a cute pink bow, and a light blush on her pink cheeks, looked at Han Xiaotao expectantly. With such a temperament,
It was completely different from the way he looked with his head lowered and helpless that day. No wonder Han Xiaotao had no impression at all.
"Ah, it's you!"
Seeing Han Xiaotao remembering it, the girl laughed happily.
"Last time you spoke for me, I didn't have time to thank you." The girl said, extending her right hand, "My name is Shangguan Meng."
Han Xiaotao shook her hand and introduced himself: "Han Xiaotao."
"Do you work here?" Shangguan Meng asked, looking at the apron she was wearing.
"Yes, I'm the cake chef here." Han Xiaotao said a little embarrassed.
"Wow, you are so awesome! I just called to order a cake. Was it you who made it?" Shangguan Meng blinked and asked.
"Is it this?" Han Xiaotao asked, pointing to the newly wrapped cake.
Shangguanmeng read the message above, nodded, and said, "Yes, it's the strawberry mousse I ordered." She smiled, and her bright eyes were like black pearls. "By the way, you are also a student of Shengyingdao University, right?
?I seem to have heard of senior Cui Minhao’s girlfriend..."
"Ah, it's not like that." Xiao Tao's face suddenly turned red to her ears.
Shangguanmeng originally wanted to make a joke, but someone pushed the store door and made a "squeak" sound.
