Although the gentle smile on Su Shi's face contained a hint of teasing, Xian Juan Wei decided not to argue with her because she seemed to have gained smile energy from it.

After the two of them worked hard, three plates of cookie prototypes with different flavors were placed on the table, waiting to be put into the oven for baking.

"By the way, although these aren't Sushi-san's favorite flavors, I think she wouldn't be so unacceptable to chocolate and berries, right?"

Xianjuan Wei bent down, put the cookies into the oven with gloves on, and sounded like he was asking casually.

"Of course not. It's more difficult for Yui-san to find a girl who hates these things, right?"

"That's true... So, does Sushi-san have any dietary restrictions?"

"Hmm..." Su Shi frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment before saying:

"If you're on a diet, offal is the way to go. But I don't think anyone would make pastries with offal, right? It feels... a bit strong."

Su Shi's eyes drifted towards the ceiling, and hesitantly said, "After all, there are so many strange and bizarre ways to cook food in this world..."

Xianjuan Wei adjusted the timer on the oven and smiled at Su Shi, shaking her head. "No, the French really like this way of cooking. Mango, apple, liver on bread slices, maybe with a spoonful of caviar."

"Eh?"

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, then changed to a self-doubting tone: "The pastries that classmate Wei mentioned seem familiar..."

"Well, I'm talking about French-style pan-fried foie gras."

The interior of the oven started working and lit up with a warm orange light, making Genjutsu Yui's teasing smile even more prominent in Su Shi's eyes.

"What the hell is this...it's not even a pastry."

Su Shi raised the back of his hand to hide the slight smile on his lips.

"I'll take Sushi to Yamabuki Bakery if I get a chance... Their Poppin bread can be made with hamburger patties, pasta, and rice. These days, anything can be called a pastry if it contains flour."

Xianjuan Wei took off his gloves and washed his hands while chatting with Su Shi.

"Then let's make chocolate fruit cake."

Xian Juanwei moved the cake turntable between the two of them and placed the bottom layer of cake base on it.

"This is a technique I just learned yesterday. First, apply a layer of sugar water on it to moisturize it..."

Su Shi watched the boy in front of her drink the sugar water, kept smiling, and did not point out the small problem that he drank too much sugar water.

"Mr. Sushi, I'll put the strawberry slices on and you can apply the blueberry jam, okay?"

He said "hmm", took the blueberry jam handed to him, and started to spread the jam with a technique that was much more skillful and better than Xianjuan Wei's.

"Mr. Sushi, you can lay out this layer of cake base. Let's swap jobs."

"Mr. Su Shi, let me handle this layer..."

After completing a series of processes, the cake, which was drizzled with ganache and then frozen, was placed on the table again, ready for the last step before packaging. However, the night outside had already darkened completely.

At the same time, the cookies that Xianjuanwei took out of the oven have also been packaged, and the chocolate-flavored cookies were tied with a bow by Xianjuanwei.

"Sushi-san, would you like to come too?"

"Eh? Me?" Su Shi took the biscuit from Xianjuan Wei, which only needed to be tied with a ribbon. After a moment of hesitation, she regained her usual smile and said, "Well... I wish classmate Wei's sister's band performance a smooth journey and great success."

When three boxes of biscuits of different flavors were packed, Xian Juanwei waved to the men in black who were waiting outside the store, and a moment later two men in black pushed the door open and walked in.

"Suzuki-san, please arrange for a plane to deliver these three boxes of cookies to Xin and the others tonight."

"Yes, Master."

"Classmate Wei..." Su Shi approached behind Xian Juan Wei and reminded him softly:

"There's also a cake!"

"Oh, that's right." Xian Juanwei, who "suddenly realized" after being reminded, just nodded and watched the man in black pack the three boxes of biscuits but did not stop him.

Seeing that the other party did not react, Su Shi did not say much, but he could not help but feel a little bit of "envy" in his heart.

The finished cookies were delivered by plane overnight. My classmate's sister is truly blessed to have such a caring family who cares about her and can spare time for her...

But... weren't the cookies supposed to be used for the celebration party for Wei's sister's band?

In almost an instant, his mood changed from envy to confusion. When Su Shi suddenly raised his head again to look for Xianjuan Wei, he found that the other party had picked up the piping bag and was ready to write on the cake.

"Mr. Sushi, I'm going to give my blessing. Don't you want to come and see?"

"Ah? Um... okay."

Su Shi suppressed the doubts in his heart, stood next to Xian Juan Wei, and leaned slightly to look at the cake that was about to have words written on it.

"My sister's band is called HelloHappyWorld, so..."

Su Shi saw Xian Juanwei write the first capital "H" on the top of the cake, and then...

With the speed of writing calligraphy, Xianjuanwei squeezed out all the blessings in one go using jam.

"Happy Birthday, Soyo!"

"Eh?!"

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, then his lips slightly opened and his light blue eyes subconsciously widened.

"Me?! Why…"

Xian Juan was hanging in the air with the piping bag in one hand, with a wicked smile of relief and success on his face.

"I lied to you, Sushi-kun."

"The cookies in the first half of the night belong to my sister, and the cake in the second half belongs to you."

"Cream cakes can only be kept overnight. Such an obvious flaw has not been discovered by Su Shi. I was so nervous just now, wondering how I would explain it to Su Shi if she asked about it."

Xian Juanwei pointed at the cake on the table:

"This is the star of the night. How can he get on the plane with Biscuits?"

Chapter 81 Su Shi wants simple and ordinary happiness

"My...birthday..." Nagasaki Suyo stared at the words written with jam on the cake in a trance, and her pupils seemed to be dilated.

"Happy Birthday!"

Xian Juanwei clapped his hands and closed his eyes.

"I……"

Su Shi seemed to have suffered some kind of language barrier and was unable to speak. She bit her lip and looked at the cake that the two of them had just made together.

When she saw Xianjuan Wei's eyes while making the cake, Su Shi thought it was the tenderness of missing her loved ones, but now thinking back on it, it was clearly...

"Originally, I had thought of some more grand birthday celebrations that would be more like the plots in urban TV dramas."

Xian Juanwei bent his knees slightly, placed his hands on his knees, and looked up at Su Shi's face, which was lowered and his lips trembling irregularly.

"For example, we could take advantage of our previous plan to go to the amusement park with Su Shi and use hundreds of drones to form a birthday message for Su Shi when the Ferris wheel reaches the top."

"Or maybe we can invite Sushi-san to a high-rise restaurant for dinner, or we can find a high-rise building to go stargazing, and then suddenly point Sushi-san in the direction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and project a giant blessing on her using a 3D projection or something."

"But I thought, if it were my sister's birthday, she would definitely object to such a grand show-off in front of others. She would say that she's happy just being with me and my friends, even if it's just a lunch box together."

"So, although I don't know Su Shi very well, I would hazard a guess that Su Shi might not like or even dislike the disturbing way of exposing it to everyone..."

"I don't know if a simple surprise like just making a cake and having a meal together would meet Sushi-san's expectations."

Xian Juanwei looked at Su Shi's hazy eyes, took a deep breath, and asked with anticipation and trepidation in his eyes:

"But at least this won't be a demerit for me, right, Sushi-san?"

A simple and ordinary surprise?

Su Shi's throat moved slightly, making a "wu" sound, and his eyes looked at the blessing words on the cake that were completed in almost an instant.

All I want is simple and ordinary happiness...

A mansion where some rooms are rarely visited is simply not necessary. If I had a choice, I'd rather my mother not have worked so hard to climb to such a high position. It doesn't matter whether I go to school in Tsuki-no-Mori or Hanasakigawa, or live in a mansion or a small apartment. It's nothing compared to my mother being home with me for a few hours every day.

But as someone who enjoys everything my mother provides, I can only advise her not to work so hard, reassuring her that "as long as you're with her, everything is fine." I can't say anything that might be misinterpreted by her as denying the value of her countless efforts...

How could this be a demerit? How is that possible?

Besides my mother, there is someone who cares about me like this and even painstakingly compares birthday celebrations that I would be more accepting of...

"Why……"

Su Shi grabbed his right arm with his left hand, and his eyes moved away from the cake as if avoiding burning, leaving Xian Juanwei with only a vague outline of his face.

Su Shi's voice trembled slightly. Although it was no longer as gentle and calm as before, it was still able to maintain a calm appearance.

"Why, classmate Wei would...know today..."

True answer A: I opened your box a long time ago

Nine True and One False Answer B:

"I asked Xiao Mu and he told me."

Xian Juanwei leaned forward a little towards Su Shi so that she could hear the sound more clearly.

"Xiao...Xiao Mu! Classmate Wei, do you know Xiao Mu?!" Nagasaki Suye's voice finally broke through the clamp, and it sounded surprised with a hint of fear and shame.

Xianjuan Wei sighed: "It would be strange if someone who has been friends with Xiangzi didn't know Xiaomu..."

A supporting pillar deep in Nagasaki Suyo's heart was suddenly broken.

One afternoon in the Moon Forest, she said to Xiao Mu, "There are loyal fans who will help me find Xiao Xiang, so it's useless for Xiao Mu to hide Xiao Xiang~"

I remembered it now. Su Shi remembered everything. Similar conversations had happened more than once...

Since Xiao Mu even told Wei about his birthday, he must have guessed who the "loyal fan" he was talking about was...

Oh my god! What have I done?

At this moment, Nagasaki Suyo felt as if she would never be able to raise her head in front of Wakaba Mutsu anymore. A strong sense of shame kept hitting her heart, as if she saw countless Xiao Mutsu surrounding her, posing the same posture of covering their mouths as they did at karaoke, trying to hold back their laughter.

The feeling of shame at this moment even overshadowed the previous one! The surprise and touching feeling of Master Pa's death made Nagasaki Suye subconsciously want to escape - as for how to apologize to classmate Wei, she couldn't think that far for the time being.

However, Genjumaki Yui immediately grabbed Su Shi's wrist, and Su Shi's attempt to chase him was aborted - Yi Mio I Qi R Si: g Jiu Jiu 8.

"Xiao Mu and I are both concerned about Su Shi."

“…”Su Shi’s wrist seemed to lose its strength all of a sudden, and he stopped trying to escape.

Yes, it turns out that Xiao Mu also knows my birthday...

Su Shi lowered her head and turned back in shame, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible:

"I'm sorry, Wei, for letting you..."

"No, there aren't many people."

Xian Juanwei interrupted and pointed behind Su Shi.

Su Shi quickly looked back and found that the bakery had been emptied of all the people in the store at some point. A sign saying "Under Renovation" was put up in front of the door, and several men in black were guarding the door.

"Compared to other plans that require a large-scale deployment, this is already very low-key, so please forgive me, Su Shi, for this little bit of willfulness..."

"I rented this shop today. The customer in the shop just now was my bodyguard playing a guest role. He didn't disturb the normal customers because no one else can enter today."

"Ha...what is classmate Wei talking about?" Su Shi raised the back of his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and his voice tended to become hushed again.

My voice just now was really a bit out of control. Since Wei cares so much about me, I can't show a side of me that doesn't meet his expectations in front of him...

"How could I... blame you for this? What's there to forgive?"

Xianjuan Wei smiled and nodded:

"This isn't the right place for cake. I've made an appointment at a family restaurant where my friends used to hang out after their live shows. I'll wrap the cake first and then go..."

Su Shi's chest heaved. He took several deep breaths, trying to calm his fluctuating emotions. He lowered his eyes, thought for a few seconds, and made up his mind:

"Mr. Wei, there's no need to go to a family restaurant."

Yiliuyiqi hissed, "Hmm?"

"I...know a more suitable place."

Half an hour later, Xianjuan Wei, carrying the wrapped cake and using Su Shi's elevator card, arrived at the 45th-floor penthouse in Roppongi for the first time.

"Mr. Wei, the restaurant is on the right."

Su Shi changed into slippers and turned on the lights from the living room to the dining room and kitchen. For a moment, it seemed as if the lights in the hotel corridors were on at the same time.
