"It was a gift from Ming Xin." Qin Xu paused for a moment before replying.
Being asked about the gift in his hand by Chu Xiaoxiao, Qin Xu finally realised that he had been too concentrated on talking to Ye ming Xin just now that he forgot to ask her what gift she was giving him.
He subconsciously held the gift box in front of him.
It wasn't convenient for him to open the box now, but he couldn't help wondering what the gift would be by looking at its appearance.
Qin Xu himself did not realise the anticipation of this present in his hands.
Just as Qin Xu was bringing the box in front of him, just as he was about to come closer, he was suddenly held down by Chu Xiaoxiao on his wrist.
"Don't move!" Chu Xiaoxiao quickly stopped him with a low voice and explained, "The thing inside this box should be the peanut cake."
Just then, Qin Xu also smelled a rich peanut fragrance, coming from the box in his hands.
Qin Xu was seriously allergic to peanuts, after smelling their scent, he immediately felt that his respiratory tract was blocked by something, and his breathing became difficult.
Then, he reflexively let go of the box in his hand.
Fortunately, Chu Xiaoxiao was standing right beside him, so she reacted in time to barely catch the falling gift box. Then, she hastily took a step back and slightly distanced herself from Qin Xu while carrying the gift box.
After the smell of the peanuts disappeared from his nose, Qin Xu's breathing slowly returned to normal, but there was still a bit of an unnatural flush on his face.
However, the first thing he did was to look at the box in Chu Xiaoxiao's hands.
Chu Xiaoxiao saw him looking towards the box in her hand, her eyes flashed, and quickly said: "You said that this was a gift from Ming Xin? "She definitely doesn't know that you're allergic to peanuts. Don't misunderstand that she wants to kill you or something …"
"I know." Qin Xu frowned, and interrupted him.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao was trying to explain for Ye ming Xin, for some reason, made Qin Xu feel uncomfortable listening to her, which was why he interrupted her.
He knew that Ye ming Xin would definitely not scheme to kill him, and furthermore, she did not know that she was seriously allergic to peanuts.
Speaking of this, Ye ming Xin could not be blamed for this matter. After all, it was he who had not explained this to Ye ming Xin in advance … So now, even though it was possible that Ye ming Xin had given him a gift made by herself, he was unable to enjoy it any longer.
However, it was fortunate that Chu Xiaoxiao had caught the box in time and did not let it fall to the ground. Otherwise, it would have trampled on Ye ming Xin's heart.
Qin Xu continued: "I don't blame her, it's just a pity that I wasted her feelings."
After Chu Xiaoxiao heard this, she was slightly stunned.
She initially gave Ye ming Xin the wrong suggestion, wanting to borrow peanut butter to make Qin Xu hate Ye ming Xin. After all, rich people avoid being murdered.
But unexpectedly, Qin Xu actually didn't have the slightest bit of doubt towards Ye ming Xin, and instead was somewhat regretful that he wanted to waste Ye ming Xin's effort!
Previously, when Ye ming Xin had called her and asked her about Qin Xu's preferences, she had thought that Ye ming Xin didn't even know what she liked. This meant that the two of them might not be that familiar with each other, at most, they were just trying to curry favor with Qin Xu.
But from the looks of it, the relationship between Qin Xu and his might be much better than what he had expected …
Although Chu Xiaoxiao was feeling more and more unhappy, her face did not reveal any inklings.
However, since Peanut Pancake's plan had failed … Chu Xiaoxiao's mind raced, she only paused for a moment, then followed Qin Xu's words: "It's good that you can forgive her, then I'll accept this gift for you?"
Qin Xu was not allowed to touch the peanuts, and could not even smell them, it was a good thing that the dim sum Ye ming Xin made was wrapped in a box and the smell was not very strong, but even so, Qin Xu was not allowed to personally bring it up.
He could only nod.
Thus, the two of them headed upstairs to the lounge.
When she arrived at the door of the resting area where Qin Chengqi was, Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke before Qin Xu could knock: "You two brothers want to speak privately, I won't follow you in. As for this peanut butter cake box …"
Chu Xiaoxiao stood a step away from Qin Xu as she slightly waved the box in her hand, then asked Qin Xu: "How do you plan to deal with this?"
Qin Xu frowned as he heard this.
Eating him definitely could not be eaten, but if he were to throw it away directly, it would be too disrespectful to Ye ming Xin.
Chu Xiaoxiao could see that he was conflicted. She slightly lowered her eyes, and suddenly sighed: "Sigh, my cousin here, everything else is fine, except that she is a bit too sensitive at times. "If you explain to her now that you're allergic to peanuts, she might think that you're deliberately embarrassing her because you don't like her presents …"
Seeing that his eyebrows were furrowed even more, she then continued: "I have a suggestion. If you don't mind, I'll help you eat the peanut cake in the gift box, then you can pretend that it's yours. When Ming Xin sees the empty gift box, she will think that you like eating the peanut cake she made very much and will definitely be happy. Today is your birthday, so everyone will be happy. As for your peanut allergy, we can explain it to her later, she will definitely understand. "
Chu Xiaoxiao pretended to be a little hesitant and finished her words. Then, she looked at Qin Xu and asked: "What do you think … What about my suggestion? "
Qin Xu muttered to himself for a while, but he could not think of a better way to not hurt Ye ming Xin, so he said: "Then I'll listen to you."
Chu Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Then you can go in first, I'll go to the resting room next door and enjoy this delicacy for you."
Qin Xu looked at Chu Xiaoxiao's gentle and smiling appearance, and thought about how Chu Xiaoxiao had always been worried about and worried about her and worried about her. She couldn't help but feel waves surging in her heart, and also felt a little moved.
But he quickly realised that he shouldn't have any ill intentions towards Chu Xiaoxiao anymore, thus, he quickly turned back to look at her. He even forgot to knock on the door as he pushed it open and walked into the lounge in front of him.
Chu Xiaoxiao watched as Qin Xu entered the resting area, and only after the door to the resting area closed did she withdraw her gentle gaze. The next moment, her eyes suddenly became mocking.
She paused at the door for a moment, then turned around and walked into the empty lounge with the peanut butter cake in her hand …
On the other side, actually, Qin Chengqi did not have anything special to discuss with his brother when he called him over.
However, Chu Xiaoxiao had just reminded him that they would be studying abroad in less than a week's time after Qin's second birthday. They might not be able to see him for more than half a year, and since they had grown up together, she had suggested that he should take advantage of this time to say her goodbyes and give him a few more words of advice.
Qin Chengqi thought about it and felt that it was necessary, hence he called his brother to talk to him in private.
Qin Xu was also a little reluctant to not see his brother for a long time, but the two of them were grown men after all. Even if they were unwilling in their hearts, they wouldn't reveal such excessive emotions like the girls.
Fortunately, the two of them had a tacit understanding between themselves. With a few ordinary words, the two brothers could sense the unspoken friendship between the two of them.
However, the two of them felt it was weird that they were talking about it together. On top of that, Qin Xu was the main character today, so it was weird for them to always hide together. Thus, the two of them did not stay in the resting room for long before they went downstairs together to greet the guests.
At the same time, in the resting room of the other room, Qin Xu and Qin Chengqi had just left the second floor, when a waiter found Chu Xiaoxiao and told her where the two of them were going.
Chu Xiaoxiao lazily sat on the sofa. On the table in front of him, there was a present that Ye ming Xin had given him.
Peanut cake even ingeniously used the color to piece together an abstract painting, one look at it showed that a lot of thought had been put into it.
But now, this painting was missing a piece.
Chu Xiaoxiao cut off another part of the wound and put it into her mouth.
The peanut butter cake was very fragrant, sweet but not greasy. It tasted pretty good too, but it tasted exactly the same in Chu Xiaoxiao's mouth.
She expressionlessly swallowed the peanut butter in her mouth, then turned to the waiter who came to report: "Just now I saw that my cousin Ye ming Xin has arrived too, she must be busily greeting the guests downstairs, and can't be bothered with her for the time being. She doesn't know many people here, and I'm afraid it's boring for her to be alone downstairs right now, go and invite her up to the lounge to talk to me, so she can be more at ease."
The waiter replied respectfully, turned around and left the room to invite Ye ming Xin.
Chu Xiaoxiao's guess was not wrong. After Qin Xu went downstairs, although he wanted to talk to Ye ming Xin for a while, he was always blocked by his other friends. He couldn't get rid of himself and went to find Ye ming Xin.
When the waiter found Ye ming Xin, she was eating a fruit salad alone in the corner, bored out of her mind.
When Ye ming Xin heard that her cousin was looking for him, she immediately put down the fruit salad and followed the waiter to the second floor.
Qin Xu did not have time to bother with her, since she was able to go and chat with his cousin, it was definitely better than being alone in a daze.
The waiter led Ye ming Xin to a resting room on the second floor before he left politely.
Ye ming Xin knocked on the door in front of him, and sure enough, she heard her cousin's voice come out from the inside: "Come in immediately, the door isn't locked."
"Then I'll go in." Ye ming Xin pushed open the door. Just as she was about to call her "cousin" again, she saw the peanut cake in front of Chu Xiaoxiao and was immediately rendered speechless.
Although less than half of the peanut butter cake had already been eaten, she definitely could not recognize it wrong. That was the gift that she had given to Qin Xu just now …
But, why would the present that she gave to Qin Xu appear in Chu Xiaoxiao's hands?
Ye ming Xin suddenly had a bad premonition. She stared at the Peanut Cake and asked Ye ming Xin: "Where did you get that Peanut Cake?"
Oh, tell me this, "Chu Xiaoxiao pretended not to know anything and pushed the peanut cake in front of him towards Ye ming Xin," This is something Qin Xu sent to me. When he heard that I was hungry, he gave it to me and let me eat first.
