The next morning.

Gu Xi entered the kitchen and then quietly opened the refrigerator. She glanced up and down, couldn't help but frowned, and finally took out eggs, bread, and ham.

Gu Xi skillfully cracked the eggs into the pan and watched the egg liquid gradually turn golden in the hot oil, emitting an enticing aroma.

She put the fried eggs on the crispy toasted bread and added a slice of ham to make a simple sandwich.

A beam of sunlight shone into the room through the gap in the curtains. The eyelashes of the person lying there trembled. Yuan Chu opened his sleepy eyes and woke up from his drowsiness.

She sat up, stretched her slender arms upwards, and yawned again, as if she had not gotten enough sleep.

After Yuanchu regained consciousness, she tidied up briefly. When she opened the door, she saw the woman she had brought back last night in the living room.

She sat upright, holding her phone in both hands, tapping lightly with her fingertips, probably replying to someone's message.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Gu Xi shifted her gaze from her phone to Yuan Chu. She was just explaining store operations to the dessert shop staff.

"Sister, are you awake?"

Yuan Chu looked away, said "hmm", and prepared to wash up.

"I made some simple sandwiches for breakfast. They might be a little cold. I'll heat them up. Sister, go wash up quickly and come have breakfast after you're done."

Hearing this, Yuan Chu turned his head and looked at her in surprise.

Breakfast sandwich? She came into the kitchen?

She is really rude and treats this place as her own home?

Although Yuanchu thought so in his heart, he just said "Oh" lightly.

With the towel on his face, Yuanchu was still thinking: Why did she bring her home?

After Yuanchu finished washing up, he saw the hot sandwiches and warm milk on the table, and couldn't help but sigh that this person was really thoughtful and considerate.

After finishing breakfast, Yuanchu was preparing to clean up the dishes.

Gu Xi stood up immediately and said, "Let me do it."

"Eh……"

Before Yuanchu could say anything to stop him, he watched helplessly as the empty plates and glasses were taken away by the man.

Looking at the busy figure in the kitchen, Yuanchu had only one thought in his mind: if someone is too attentive for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.

After Gu Xi finished cleaning up, she sat back on the sofa, picked up her cell phone, and continued to send the message that had not yet been edited to the employees in the store.

Yuan Chu sat down at the other end, looking at Gu Xi frequently, but seemed to be hesitant to speak.

She was thinking: Is this person not leaving yet?

Finally, he couldn't help it anymore, so Yuanchu curled up his fingers that were supporting the sofa and asked politely: "Don't you have anything to do in the store?"

Gu Xi's narrow eyes flashed, and she looked up at her, but chuckled, "Sister, are you trying to drive me away in disguise?"

Yuanchu glanced at her, feeling a little embarrassed as if his thoughts were exposed, and hurriedly denied: "No, no."

Gu Xi just smiled without saying anything, tapping with her fingertips as she sent the last message she wanted to explain.

Glancing at the man who was concentrating on sending messages, Yuan Chu bit his lower lip, curled his fingers together, and looked very annoyed.

Damn it!

Why did she deny it just now? Shouldn't she leave? What's the point of staying here?

Could it be that she was relying on herself?

Yuanchu was immersed in her own thoughts at this time, with all kinds of bloody dramas playing out in her mind, which were overturned one by one by herself.

Little did she know that all her little actions were seen by Gu Xi after she sent the last message.

Gu Xi looked at her and watched Yuan Chu's expression change. She raised her eyebrows briefly, put down her phone, and let one hand hang on her knees.

The other hand was raised, as if carelessly supporting his chin.

Yuanchu tilted her head and frowned. She was lost in thought but couldn't help muttering, "No, no, no..."

Gu Xi looked at her with amusement and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hearing Gu Xi's voice, Yuan Chu finally came back to his senses. Why did she read it out loud?

Yuan Chu placed his hands on both sides of the sofa, tightened his knees, and pretended to be serious, "No, nothing is wrong."

Gu Xi saw through it but didn't say anything. There was a hint of unpredictable emotion in her eyes, and then she invited her, "Sister, do you want to go to the dessert shop I opened?"

The topic changed so quickly that Yuanchu hadn't reacted yet: "Ah?"

Gu Xi looked at her intently, with a faint smile on her lips: "Go ahead, you won't let your sister down."

The sun shone on the street, and Gu Xi and Yuan Chu walked into a dessert shop called "Nian Chu".

Yuan Chu rolled his eyes around, looking at the dessert shop curiously.

The decoration style of the dessert shop is fresh and pleasant. The store uses a lot of light colors, such as beige, light blue and light pink, to create a soft and warm atmosphere.

There are some art paintings hanging on the walls, adding an artistic atmosphere to the store. The wooden tables and chairs are neatly arranged, matched with light-colored tablecloths and cushions, making people feel comfortable and relaxed.

The lighting design in the store is also unique, with warm and soft light shining on the desserts, making them look more tempting.

Some green plants are placed by the windows, adding vitality and natural atmosphere to the space.

As you walk into the store, you can seem to smell the sweet aroma unique to desserts, filling the room with fragrance.

The dessert shop opens at 9am and closes at 10pm.

It is now ten o'clock in the morning and there are already quite a few customers in the store. It can be seen that business is good.

Gu Xi brought Yuan Chu into the store. Xiao Chen, who was working, came up to her immediately and shouted eagerly, "Good morning, boss."

"Good morning." Gu Xi responded to the greeting casually, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

After saying hello, employee Xiao Chen stood beside Gu Xi, looking as if he was ready to be ordered around.

"If you have nothing else to do, go do it yourself. I just brought my friend to the store to look around."

"Okay, boss." Xiao Chen responded and went back to his work.

Gu Xi looked at Yuan Chu, "Come on, sister, I'll show you around the store."

"Yeah, okay." Yuanchu responded.

Gu Xi took Yuan Chu on a tour of the store, then took her to the bakery in the back and chatted with the dessert chef.

After leaving the baking room, the two went to the front hall one after the other.

They found a seat by the window and sat facing each other. Outside the window, there was a constant stream of people and traffic, all busy with their own lives.

Gu Xi curved her eyebrows and said, "How is it? Did you not disappoint me?"

Yuanchu nodded: "Well, the decoration and atmosphere of your store are quite good."

Gu Xi smiled and asked, "Does sister like it?"

"I like it very much." Yuanchu glanced around again and admitted it generously.

The smile on Gu Xi's face became even brighter, "As long as sister likes it."

"Then wait a moment, sister."

After saying that, Gu Xi stood up, took out a menu, and handed it to Yuan Chu.

Yuan Chu hesitated for a moment, then took it.

Gu Xi signaled her to place the order with her eyes, and then said in a brisk tone: "Don't worry, my shop is completely free for you, sister."

Yuanchu paused in turning the page and quickly refused: "That's not necessary. After all, you can't accept rewards without merit."

The various desserts on the menu were dazzling. Yuanchu hesitated for a long time and finally ordered a strawberry cake and a latte.

Gu Xi ordered a chocolate pudding and a cup of green tea.

After a while, the dessert was served.

The strawberry cake is dotted with bright red strawberries, exuding a rich cake fragrance that is mouth-watering.

It looks extremely delicate and smells good too.

Yuanchu took the spoon, scooped a spoonful and fed it into her mouth. The sweet taste spread in her mouth.

The juiciness of strawberries and the softness and sweetness of cake blend perfectly, and every bite seems to dance on the tip of your tongue.

The sweetness flowed down the tip of her tongue, into her throat, into her left ventricle, and then down her esophagus into her stomach.

The cake is just the right amount of sweet, not too sweet, and leaves a lasting aftertaste. The sweet taste is like a spring breeze, light and pleasant, bringing a pleasant enjoyment.

Gu Xi didn't move. She watched Yuan Chu quietly take the first bite and asked with a smile, "How is it, sister? Is it delicious?"

Although it was just an ordinary strawberry cake, it gave Yuan Chu a sense of amazement.

The aroma is alluring, lightly sweet but not overpowering.

The taste is delicate and melts in your mouth, just right.

Yuan Chu raised his eyes to look at her, and the corners of his lips raised an arc, "Not bad."
