Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Or is it because she was with Lei and thought he had a good temper, so she started to act recklessly again?

"Then I'll ask Ximen or Meizuo appropriately." Shan Lai quickly corrected his language mistake.

Looking at her cautious look, Lei couldn't help but smile. In fact, even if he didn't say it, Misaku would come to tell her about Atera in a couple of days.

In fact, Mei Zuo is the one with the best temper among the four of them, and he is always worried about his good brothers.

The two of them arrived at the foot of the apartment building. Shanlai got out of the car and prepared to go upstairs, and waved to Lei.

After Lei parked the car, he reluctantly caught up with her and asked, "Have you forgotten me?"

Shan Lai turned back quickly, she thought he was going back later.

"Lei, it's already very late, why don't you go home?" Shanlai asked him, holding the remaining candied haws.

"I sent you and Xiaoyou to the mall and accompanied you shopping. You won't let me go back without even letting me have dinner, right?" Lei said pitifully, and looking at her expression it was as if he was saying that she was ungrateful.

Shan Lai was stunned, it seemed to be true.

"Well, let's have dinner first." Shan Lai replied.

In fact, it’s not that she doesn’t want to invite him to dinner, but it’s mainly because he has done it too many times, which will inevitably arouse suspicion from others.

She hasn't even had her coming-of-age ceremony yet, and she's got into this clan hall incident. If the clan members find evidence against her, they'd say she's teamed up with other family members to harm Deng He.

Her father hasn't come back yet, and although her second uncle is very good to her, he may not necessarily stand on her side.

None of Deng He's relatives supported her, so she didn't dare to take the risk.

Lei didn't hesitate and followed her upstairs.

As soon as Shanlai opened the door, the aroma of food wafted into her nose.

Aunt Gu had already prepared the food, so the two of them could eat directly when they came back without having to wait any longer.

The two of them had a very happy meal and even discussed what happened today when Daomingsi suddenly left.

After cleaning up the dishes, Shanlai sat on the sofa, thinking about the dessert he made this afternoon.

"Lei, does Aunt Cheng like desserts?" Shanlai asked Lei seriously.

He seemed to think about it for a moment, then smiled and said, "Do you want to make dessert for my mother?"

Shan Lai was stunned for a moment. “No, it’s the dessert that Xiaoyou and I made this afternoon. If Aunt Cheng likes desserts, I’ll pack some for you to take back to her.” After saying that, she looked at Lei very seriously.

Lei smiled and said, "My mother doesn't like sweets very much, but if you make it, she might try it." After saying that, he tilted his head and looked at her with a smile, as if asking her to pack the cakes.

She was a little hesitant, but the light in her eyes seemed to suddenly brighten.

She didn't know what Aunt Cheng liked to eat. What if Aunt Cheng disliked her poor cooking skills?

Thinking of this, she gave up the idea of ​​taking the pastries back for Aunt Cheng to taste.

"Then, let's do it next time." Shanlai smiled ingratiatingly.

You can probably tell what she's thinking just by looking at her expression.

"I think mother wouldn't mind trying what you cooked." Then he walked towards the kitchen.

Shanlai rubbed his forehead helplessly, and had to follow Lei into the kitchen, then packed the cakes one by one in nice paper bags.

Lei watched her carefully pack the snacks bit by bit, and suddenly thought of the scene where she would make pastries for the children in the kitchen like this in the future.

He thought to himself but remained expressionless, "Have you packed?" he asked.

After packing the last piece of cake, Shan Lai nodded, handed it to Lei, and reminded him: "When you take it back later, go slowly on the way, otherwise it will go bad."

She instructed seriously, then took a smaller bamboo basket, wrapped the pastries in a paper bag, put them in and handed them to him.

Seeing her like this, Lei couldn't help but lower his head to look at her. Shanlai thought he was going to do something again and took a step back.

Lei put his arm around her waist, his tone somewhat resentful, "Do you want me to leave so badly?"

"It's getting late." Shan Lai pointed out the window. The night sky seemed to be splashed with thick ink, and seemed to be darker than ever.

It was really getting late, so Lei had to let her go and left with the cakes.

Watching his leaving back, Shanlai always felt empty in his heart, as if something was missing.

Standing next to the floor-to-ceiling window, I watched him open the car door and put the pastries on the passenger seat before he went around to the driver's seat and drove.

He really is gone.

Shan Lai took a deep breath, then walked into the kitchen and looked at the snacks she and Xiaoyou made today.

Half, if not all, of the snacks they made today are low in sugar.

Long before this, she had asked someone.

Aunt Cheng doesn’t like sweet things, but she really likes milk rose pastries. It can be said that she has a special liking for them.

So, long before this, she had mixed the proportions and made it once, and it tasted pretty good.

She was afraid that everyone would have different tastes, so she made cakes with different sugar levels and gave them to different people.

Xiaoyou helped her taste it and found it crispy and delicious, with a unique aroma of rose and milk. She also said that the sugar content was just right.

Among the snacks she had just given to the class was the milk rose pastry she had made in the afternoon.

If she took it home and ate it herself, she wouldn't waste it. And if Aunt Cheng could try it by the way, that would be even better.

I hope I won’t be disliked.

……

Lei picked up the snacks that Shanlai handed to him and carefully carried them into the hall.

Cheng Nan was sitting on the sofa reading a book. When he saw his son coming back, he put down the book and watched him walk towards him.

"Mom, why aren't you sleeping yet so late?" Lei walked over to her and sat down, placing the snacks on the coffee table.

Looking at her son's expression of being so happy that he forgot everything else, she just smiled and said nothing. She had heard about what happened today.

I didn't expect that this usually gentle son would do such a thing as going to the Deng He family ancestral hall to pick up Shan Lai.

What would he do if he was misunderstood and made a big fuss about it?

"Mom, this snack is delicious, you can try it." Lei smiled and reached out to open the paper bag.

After opening it, the scent of roses hit my nose.

No need to guess who did it.

I don’t like desserts and never buy such things. What I can bring back this time is like a treasure.

"Is it really delicious?" Cheng Nan looked at Lei and took out a piece of dessert and handed it to her.

She sniffed, it smelled so good.

I took the snack and took a bite, it was indeed delicious.

Although it is not very sweet, it does not affect its flavor at all. The rose scent is very strong, but it does not steal the milky flavor of milk.

The proportions are just right, and you can tell that a lot of thought went into it.

She is a rich girl, and it is not easy for her to think of making pastries for herself.

Girls are meant to be loved.

When she was pregnant with Lei, she and Ah Heng were still thinking that if he was a little princess, they would give her the best they could.
