Chapter 330 Tiramisu Cake, Cinderella Makes a Wish

3 o'clock in the afternoon.

The city streets were shrouded in a hazy mist.

The raindrops hit the glass curtain wall with an almost uninterrupted rhythm, making a crisp sound.

There were only 7 or 8 customers in the huge dimly lit coffee shop, all of them were white-collar workers working in the building.

Morningstar Building is only about one kilometer away from the Normal University campus. It is surrounded by many office buildings and businesses.

Even on weekends, there are usually many people in the cafe.

But it is obvious that this sudden heavy rain disrupted their normal business rhythm.

Qian Lele sat on a small stool in the bakery, holding a computer book in his hand.

She talked with Tang Song about employment issues some time ago, which inspired her deeply.

The computer major at Yancheng Normal University is not that good, and the things the teachers teach are broad but not detailed. The main purpose is to let them get in touch with more languages ​​and technologies and find a direction that suits them.

If you want to get an offer from a large company right after graduation, you must be proficient in one of them.

Therefore, at Tang Song's suggestion, she began to study front-end development in depth.

The deeper I go, the more I realize how superficial I am. There is so much I need to learn.

New syntax, closures, prototype chains, asynchrony, various frameworks, building tools...

But she has to spend a lot of time working.

This made her feel a strong sense of urgency and crisis, and she was afraid that she would be eliminated by social competition after graduation.

"Hello, Lele, are you studying hard again?" a voice sounded beside him.

Qian Lele quickly closed the book, stood up, and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Yang, I have finished my work here, so..."

This Brother Yang is the duty manager of the Morning Star Building branch, Yang Hongwei, and is considered the second most important person in the store.

I usually take good care of her and arrange her classes reasonably according to her courses.

She now works full-time in the cafe, earning the same salary as others, but she secretly reads books and rests here, always feeling uneasy.

"It's okay." Yang Hongwei smiled and waved his hand. "It's right to study more when you have free time. Our CEO Xie often encourages our employees to study hard, and they can even get bonuses if they improve their academic qualifications."

"Thank you, Brother Yang." Qian Lele bowed sincerely to express his gratitude.

The two chatted for a while about the weather and school.

The cell phone in Yang Hongwei's pocket began to vibrate continuously.

He picked it up and glanced at it, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The other two shareholders of our company have started making trouble in the group again. Judging from their chat content, I guess this round of financing is going to fail."

The group he was talking about was the company's management group, which included not only the leaders of the head office but also the store managers and duty managers of each branch.

Hearing this, Qian Lele's heart skipped a beat and she asked nervously, "Then... Is Mr. Xie very angry? Will the coffee shop be affected?"

As for the problem of shareholder conflicts, these small employees actually know something about it, and there are all kinds of rumors privately.

Yang Hongwei picked up a piece of cut cake dough scraps.

While eating, he continued: "The coffee shop will definitely not be affected. At most, the financing will fail, and the status quo will remain the same. Well, these are not things we can worry about. Just focus on doing our job well."

"Well, I understand Brother Yang." Qian Lele lowered his head slightly, still feeling a little uneasy.

She admired and appreciated Xie Shuyu, the elegant, dignified and decisive female president.

I hope everything goes smoothly for the other person.

But she was just a part-time college student and couldn't help at all and could only worry.

"Okay, I'll go stay in the store." Yang Hongwei clapped his hands and said naturally: "Oh, by the way, you also get off work at around 5 o'clock, right? It's raining so hard, I'll drive you, Nana and Xiaoshuo back later."

After saying that, Yang Hongwei walked out of the bakery with a smile.

Looking at his back, Qian Lele whispered "thank you".

There are always more good people around her, and she can always feel the warmth of society.

This duty manager, who is in his 40s, also works as a barista in the cafe. He has excellent skills and a kind personality.

Moreover, he is also one of the earliest employees who followed Mr. Xie to start a business.

...

5 pm.

"Buzz buzz buzz--" the cell phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.

Qian Lele quickly took it out and took a look.

It’s Ding Yao.

After answering the phone, "Hello, Yaoyao, what's wrong?"

Ding Yao's clear voice soon came from the receiver: "Student Lele! Are you off work?"

"Yeah, I'll be off work soon."

"I just checked the weather forecast. It's going to rain heavily tomorrow, and it won't be light. It will be troublesome for you to come here."

"Well, it's okay, I'll take a taxi."

Because she needed to change into new clothes and receive beautifully wrapped gifts, she originally wanted to take a taxi.

Besides, the distance is not far and the fare is more than ten yuan, which is acceptable.

"Hey, don't waste your money. I've arranged everything for you. I'll have Zhang Haoyu pick you up and take you directly to the X-STAT party hall. I've reserved the place for you. We're all friends here, and we've got all kinds of delicious food and fun things to do!"

Ding Yao became more and more excited as she spoke, and began to introduce the arrangements and entertainment activities for the birthday party.

When she finished speaking, Qian Lele said softly but firmly: "Yaoyao, it's really not necessary. I will go there by myself."

"Uh..." Ding Yao said helplessly: "Okay, it seems that I can't persuade you, so let's keep in touch. Come early tomorrow and I will take you to meet some new friends."

"Thank you, Yaoyao. I...I'm just worried that I won't fit in..."

"Okay, it's decided happily, classmate Lele, I'll wait for you tomorrow!" Ding Yao paused, then said softly, "Actually, Zhang Haoyu is a pretty good guy, it's just that we know each other so well that I can't do it.

His father is a senior executive of the Yan Provincial Bank, and his mother is an associate chief physician at the Provincial People's Hospital, and she is a colleague of my father."

After saying this, Ding Yao said goodbye and hung up the phone.

After a while, another WeChat message came on my phone.

[Ding Yao: "Le Le, I think you just lack confidence. In fact, you are very outstanding. You are serious and hardworking, sincere and simple, and you work hard. You have so many good qualities. I believe that you will become a real princess one day! Come on!"]

Putting away his phone, Qian Lele sighed.

She understood what her friend meant. She just knew that her life was not easy and wanted to help her.

But her family was a bottomless pit, and she never had any plans to fall in love. She just wanted to work hard to live a better life.

When thinking about falling in love, Qian Lele somehow thought of Tang Song again.

Scenes from the past few days flashed before my eyes, and a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on my face.

When she thought of his warm big hands in the morning, her face gradually turned red and hot.

"Le Le, Brother Yang asked me to call you. It's time to get off work." The waitress Nana shouted at her, interrupting her reverie.

Qian Lele quickly stood up and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away!"

I changed into my clothes in the dressing room and walked out of the bakery carrying my bag.

I happened to see a few employees whispering in front of the window next to the front desk.

Qian Lele understood the whole story after just listening.

Due to the heavy rain, the light meals and desserts in the cafe will definitely be unsaleable today.

Mr. Xie has formulated very reasonable regulations in this regard.

In addition to being given away to premium members of the cafe who come to the store for tasting, slow-moving items can also be purchased by employees at a very low discount.

Qian Lele's eyes swept across the bright window and finally landed on a 5-inch tiramisu mousse cake.

This was made by her in the morning. It is made with real ingredients and is healthy and delicious.

She suddenly thought of the time when Tang Song helped her retrieve the data that was deleted in the background.

I once promised him that if he was free, he would come to Weiguang Coffee and I would treat him to the cake I made.

"Hey, Lele is out. Let's go?" Yang Hongwei waved at her.

Qian Lele pursed her lips, walked to the window, and whispered, "Brother Yang, I want to buy this tiramisu cake, is that okay?"

Yang Hongwei was stunned for a moment, then said readily, "Of course, Nana, help Lele pack it up."

After knowing each other for so long, this was the first time he saw Qian Lele spend money to buy desserts in the cafe.

In the past, we would use leftover cake dough or croissants or bread that were about to expire.

After paying 40 yuan, an exquisite gift bag appeared in Qian Lele's hands.

Looking at the tiramisu cake sprinkled with cocoa powder, Qian Lele showed a big smile on his face.

I’m looking forward to Tang Song’s expression when he sees this little surprise.

...

The white Sylphy stopped outside the door of the teachers' apartment.

The rear door was gently pushed open.

Qian Lele opened his umbrella and walked down.

"Bye, be careful on the road."

"Bye, see you tomorrow."

After watching the car slowly drive away, Qian Lele carefully placed the cake in front of him and escorted it towards the apartment.

It was completely dark, and the street lights reflected dim spots of light in the rain and fog.

Wearing sandals, she walked on the rain-soaked road, her steps cheerful and light.

The rapid raindrops fell on the umbrella, as if playing beautiful music.

Watching the elevator going up one floor after another and the exquisite tiramisu cake in her hand, she felt more and more happy and even began to hum a song.

He walked out of the elevator quickly, took out his key, opened the door, and changed into slippers.

Qian Lele slowed down his pace, came to the door of the master bedroom, and called softly: "Brother Song, I'm back, you probably haven't eaten yet?"

"Not yet." A magnetic voice came.

Through the gap in the door, Qian Lele saw Tang Song who was concentrating on looking at the computer.

"That's perfect. I'll cook the meal together."

"Thank you Lele."

Qian Lele walked into the kitchen with a smile on her face, first took the cake out of the gift bag and put it in the refrigerator.

Then I put on my apron and started cooking.

More than half an hour later, the steaming meal appeared on the table.

Millet porridge, steamed buns, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and lettuce with garlic.

Dinner was spent as usual with the two of them chatting casually.

After cleaning the kitchen, I saw Qian Lele coming out.

Tang Song suddenly asked, "Do you want to watch TV together?"

Qian Lele was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said, "Okay."

Then, the balcony window was opened a crack, and a cool breeze blew in.

Tang Song leaned back on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and randomly found a popular comedy variety show. Soon, the smell of laundry soap mixed with the fragrance of a young girl came over.

Qian Lele sat down obediently beside him, standing straight and staring at the TV.

Tang Song smiled and began to talk to her about front-end knowledge and her career plan.

Now he is in the state of "study god" with extremely sharp thinking, which quickly made Qian Lele relax.

The two of them watched the variety show and chatted casually.

Laughter could be heard from the living room from time to time.

The atmosphere became more and more warm.

Time ticked away, and before I knew it, it was 9 o'clock.

The variety show has ended.

Qian Lele pursed her lips and was about to stand up to get the surprise cake she had prepared.

Tang Song suddenly said, "By the way, Lele, I have something to tell you."

"Oh, Brother Song, you say it." Qian Lele quickly lowered his butt that was about to be raised, and listened carefully.

Tang Song looked at her bright eyes and said softly, "I have been in the teacher's apartment for half a month. Thank you for your hard work during this period. You helped me make breakfast and dinner, and did the laundry."

They looked at each other and listened to what Tang Song said.

Qian Lele's eyes trembled. Being smart, she instantly guessed what the other party was going to say next.

I also remembered that Teacher Jiang said before he left that Tang Song would only stay here for half a month.

In other words, Tang Song has to return to his original pace of life, and they will probably have few opportunities to meet in the future.

But this is as it should be, this is Teacher Jiang's house.

She and Tang Song were just staying here temporarily and it was impossible for them to stay like this forever.

Biting her lips hard, she said softly with a trembling voice, "It's okay. After all, I have to eat too, so I just made it. Besides, I brought the bread and desserts back from the cafe."

Tang Song paused and said, "I should be leaving tomorrow, so you can do less work in the future. I have been studying here for half a month, and making a friend like you is also an unexpected gain."

"Me too. I'm happy to be good friends with Brother Song." Her voice was hoarse and her throat was particularly dry.

Qian Lele lowered her head, sniffed, and tried hard to suppress the tears that were about to burst out.

It’s obviously nothing. We are still in Yancheng anyway, and we will see each other in the future.

And we also have WeChat, so we can chat often.

If you encounter a problem, you can also shamelessly ask him for help.

But I don’t know why, my heart just feels empty and I have an indescribable discomfort.

Looking at Qian Lele's reaction, Tang Song smiled and patted her head, "What's wrong, Lele, are you reluctant to leave me?"

"Ah!" Qian Lele subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but after a moment of silence, he still said with some difficulty: "Thank you Brother Song for your care during this period. Not only did you help me clear the inventory of bracelets, but you also taught me how to sell fruit tea drinks. Thank you."

"Actually, I really don't want to leave you." Tang Song turned sideways and said seriously, "Even if we don't live here anymore, I hope we can keep in touch. Lele is welcome to chat with me. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to me at any time."

Hearing Tang Song's words, Qian Lele's lowered eyes became moist, "I will, Brother Song."

Then, a warm and fresh breath enveloped her.

Qian Lele let out a "wu" sound and looked at Tang Song with a dull look as he suddenly hugged her.

"Okay, don't be so sad. We don't live far away. We can meet up anytime we want."

“I…I…I…” Qian Lele stammered, unable to speak, her face getting redder and redder.

Tang Song smiled and opened his arms.

Under the influence of the mask, he can actually be said to be calm.

This hug was also very pure.

Of course, he had to admit that this innocent girl was indeed very beautiful.

"Um..." Qian Lele stood up in panic, turned his back to him and said, "I brought back a cake from the coffee shop, Brother Song, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Qian Lele trotted into the kitchen.

He wiped his wet eyes and washed his hot face with cold water.

But my heart felt like there was a little deer jumping around and I couldn't calm down.

However, the sadness of parting was mostly dispelled.

Just like Tang Song said, he also considers himself a good friend. They live not far away and can meet and chat anytime.

I should be happy.

It's impossible to really live with him for the rest of my life, right?
Qian Lele was stunned for a moment, then immediately put aside these messy thoughts.

After calming down, I took out the beautifully wrapped cake and returned to the living room.

"Brother Song, this is the tiramisu mousse cake I made myself. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Qian Lele placed the cake in front of Tang Song and gently opened the box.

"It's so beautiful, thank you Lele." Tang Song smiled and reached out from under the coffee table to take out a white paper bag.

Jiang Yourong must like eating cakes very much, as there are a lot of candles, tableware, birthday hats and other accessories piled up under the coffee table.

Tang Song tore open the paper bag, took out a pink candle, and inserted it in the middle of the cake.

Then he picked up a match and lit it.

After doing all this, Tang Song looked up at Qian Lele and said softly, "Although it's not a birthday cake, you can still make a wish.

You can say what wish you want to realize most at the moment, and then blow out the candles. Maybe it will really come true?
Of course, this wish cannot be too unrealistic, otherwise it won’t work.”

At the time of parting, he wanted to give this college friend a gift.

Tang Song saw many good qualities in her.

Pure and kind, simple and sincere, thrifty, and self-improvement...

She is a girl who is full of kindness towards the world and deserves to be treated gently by the world.

"A wish..." Qian Lele muttered to himself.

She has many wishes, and she always closes her eyes for a long time on her birthday.

Of course, these wishes are too unrealistic and are more of an expectation for the future.

After a moment, Qian Lele showed an embarrassed smile on his face.

He whispered, "Then wish me all the best tomorrow and a happy birthday party."

After saying that, she leaned forward and blew out the candle with a whoosh.

"What birthday party?" Tang Song blinked in surprise, "Your birthday?"

"No, no!" Qian Lele blushed and explained, "Tomorrow is my good friend Ding Yao's birthday. She has booked a party hall to hold her birthday party and invited me to go with her.

But her friends were all very rich, and the gifts they gave her and the clothes they wore were very expensive.

I just felt that if I went there, I might be embarrassed and ashamed, so I was always nervous.

But she is my good friend, so it would be inappropriate for me not to go."

This was the first major challenge of her summer vacation and it was also a problem that had troubled her for a long time.

"I think your wish will definitely come true." Tang Song nodded slightly and scanned Qian Lele carefully through the lenses.

I instantly memorized her height and size.

This is a very simple wish.

It can be seen that Qian Lele is a very pragmatic girl.

Qian Lele seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and mustered up her courage and whispered, "By the way, Brother Song, I bought a black skirt and was thinking of wearing it tomorrow. How about I try it on first, and you can help me see if it looks good?"

It has been a week since she bought it, but she has never had the courage to wear it in front of Tang Song.

Tang Song happily said, "Okay, go ahead."

"Wait for me, it will be quick." Qian Lele said, and ran quickly towards the bedroom.

After waiting for less than 5 minutes, the sound of footsteps was heard.

Tang Song turned around and saw Qian Lele, who was wearing a little black fishtail dress, walking towards her.

The soft and fitting fabric highlights the curvy figure.

Noticing Tang Song's gaze, Qian Lele asked shyly and expectantly, "Do you think it looks good?"

"Very beautiful. I didn't expect that you have such a good figure, Lele." Tang Song smiled and winked at her.

Qian Lele’s previous outfits were all student style and very loose.

Wearing this slim-fitting long skirt at this time instantly reveals the hidden good figure.

Excellent body proportions, upright chest, slender waist, exuding charming youthful vitality.

After hearing Tang Song’s praise, Qian Lele didn’t know where to put his hands.

Her eyes were evasive and her face was flushed.

In the past, many people praised her for her good figure and beautiful looks, but when Tang Song said it, she felt numb all over.

After hesitating for a few words, Qian Lele abruptly changed the subject and asked Tang Song to start cutting the cake.

The rain outside the window stopped at some point.

A cool breeze carrying moisture blew through the room, and the temperature in the living room was just right.

The two of them held up their plates and ate the cake in big mouthfuls.

...

10 o'clock in the evening.

Qian Lele carefully took off her black skirt, folded it and put it on the bedside.

Put on a loose short-sleeved T-shirt, turn off the lights, and lie down on the bed.

After a long while, she sighed deeply in the darkness, sat up again, hugged her legs and leaned against the wall, and began to daydream.

She, who always had a regular schedule, unexpectedly suffered from insomnia.

There is both reluctance and loss to leave Tang and Song.

I was also nervous and anxious about Ding Yao's birthday party.

In the darkness, the screen of the mobile phone on the bedside table lit up.

Qian Lele picked it up and took a look at it, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.

[Tang Song: "Good night, Lele, your wish has been accepted. I believe tomorrow will be a happy and unforgettable birthday party."]

After staring at the message for a while, Qian Lele replied softly in voice: "Thank you, Brother Song. Good night."

After sending the message, Qian Lele lay back on the bed, closed his eyes gently, and began counting sheep.

After an unknown amount of time, her breathing gradually became steady.

In her sleep, she sometimes raised her mouth corners, sometimes frowned.

During the summer vacation of his sophomore year, 20-year-old Qian Lele felt the troubles from "love" and "friendship".

Just like the tiramisu mousse cake she had tonight.

Sweet with a slight bitterness.
