CH 188

Character guide

Cao Min, first-line actress with friend Qi Lening.

Sun Shanjing second-line little flower with actress Liu Yueyun.

Luo Ye, second-line refreshing boy with second-line actress He Lixin.

Yuan Jun, a popular idol with his sister Yuan Lai.

Shen Rui, a second-tier refreshing boy, invited Tao Kai.

With this in mind, when Han Cheng asked for the first time and the other party shook their head, everyone could not help sighing.

When Han Cheng asked for the second time and the other party shook their head, everyone could not help but shed tears of sympathy for him.

When Han Cheng asked for the third time, before the other party could shake their head, Luo Ye’s hand was already on Shen Qingshu’s shoulder. “Shen ge, we will remember the heroic spirit of you and Han ge as pioneers. You two are the light of the righteous path!”

Shen Qingshu: “…thank you.”

Luo Ye was about to say you’re welcome, but he heard Yuan Lai’s screams coming from his side, “Wow, it’s really her. Han ge is so powerful. He found her so soon ! ! Han ge is awesome!”

Luo Ye: ? ? ?

What’s going on? How did he find her?

What happened in the seconds he spoke to Shen Qingshu?

How can he find her so quick!

F*ck! Han ge, you are really the light of the righteous path! Guiding us forward!

The crowd stared in shock and saw that Han Cheng and Aida soon finished communicating. Aida gave him a card from her pocket.

“How did he know?” Luo Ye turned to look at Shen Qingshu. “Shen ge, you chose. On what basis did you choose her?”

Shen Qingshu smiled, “Isn’t it written on the task card we received this morning? Aida is a  believer of Demeter, who is the goddess of harvest in Greek mythology. So I guessed Aida should have a symbol of harvest on her body. Plus, the cake is made of low-gluten flour, and flour is basically related to wheat, so I tried to see if anyone has the symbol of wheat.”

“There are three of them. One has small wheat on the print of her skirt, one a hairpin is in the shape of wheat behind her ears, and one has a brooch on her body in the shape of wheat. So I guess it may be one of the three of them.”

Luo Ye was shocked. “So it is. Shen ge, you are so awesome!”

Shen Qingshu smiled, a little embarrassed. “I guessed casually and was just lucky.”

“What good luck, I didn’t know.” Luo Ye sighed. “It’s because you told me that I knew there was a goddess of harvest. Otherwise, I would still only know Zeus in Greek mythology!”

Shen Qingshu was a little embarrassed by his praise. As soon as Han Cheng came back, everyone rushed around and asked him, “What will Aida say? How do we communicate with her?”

Han Cheng smiled and said softly under the expectation of the crowd, “Aida won’t let me tell you.”

Everyone: …

“So ask her yourself.” Han Cheng laughed.

After that, he pulled Shen Qingshu’s arm and said, “we’ll go first.”

Shen Qingshu waved to the others and walked to Lisa’s cake shop with Han Cheng.

With Aida’s instructions and map, the two people easily found the cake shop.

Lisa was obviously waiting for them. As soon as they entered, she came out and hugged them excitedly.

“Welcome to my cake shop.” She said in heavily accented Chinese and said enthusiastically, “My name is Lisa, and I’m your master.”

Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng also introduced themselves immediately.

“Come here.” Lisa led them to the work room.

As she walked, she asked Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng if they had made cakes before, do they know how?

Shen Qingshu shook his head.

Han Cheng also shook his head.

“Never mind, I’ll teach you.” Lisa laughed.

She handed them an apron and a chef’s hat. Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng wore them together. They thought it was very interesting and began to learn how to make cakes with her.

Han Cheng has always been gifted in cooking. It can be said that he can put it into practice as soon as he learns.

On the other hand, Shen Qingshu can crack an egg and accidentally leave eggshells in the bowl.

“Didn’t she tell you to separate the egg yolk and egg white? Why did you beat them together again?” Han Cheng laughed.

Shen Qingshu wanted to cry without tears. “I also want to separate them, I tipped my hand, the egg white went into the bowl, and the egg yolk also went in.”

He looked at Han Cheng depressedly, “My hand has its own mind! It’s a fake hand!”

Han Cheng laughed, raised his hand and patted him on the head. “Come, you can help me beat the egg white, and I’ll  help you separate the egg white and yolk.”

“Okay.” Shen Qingshu immediately changed with him.

Han Cheng helped him finish his eggs, and then went to work on his own cake again.

While they were doing this, they saw other people coming in. Shen Qingshu looked up. To his surprise, it was Cao Min and Qi Lening.

He paid them no more attention, lowered his head and continued to concentrate on making his own cake.

Cao Min and Qi Lening also put on aprons and hats. Under Lisa’s guidance, they began to separate the egg yolk and egg white.

One after another, other people slowly joined.

By the time Shen Rui and Tao Kai finally arrived, Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng had put their baking trays into the oven.

Shen Qingshu couldn’t help feeling excited. “This is my first time making a cake.”

“It’s not mine.” Han Cheng said, “When I was a child, my ge said we should make a cake for my mother for her birthday one year, so I helped him make it.”

“Then you should have experience.” Shen Qing said, “Why don’t you know how?”

“Good question, because I only helped my brother arrange the strawberries.” Han Cheng looked at him, “Putting ten strawberries on the cream of the top layer of the cake.”

Shen Qingshu: “… is this also called helping?”

“Otherwise? Didn’t I also use my hands? They were placed by hand, not with a machine!”

Shen Qingshu: … What else do you want to use? Can this be done by machine ? !

When the timer for the oven went off, the cake was finally ready to come out of the oven. Shen Qingshu can’t wait to run over, wear gloves, and take out his own baking tray.

His heart was full of expectations, but it was a pity that as soon as the baking tray was taken out, he sadly found that his cake was cracked.

How could this happen!

Shen Qingshu was shocked, the cakes he usually ate were not like this! 

He secretly glanced at Han Cheng’s cake. Sure enough, it looked different.

Shen Qing looked depressedly at his own and then at Han Cheng’s, “Why? Why does mine have cracks, but yours doesn’t?”

Han Cheng said proudly, “Why else? Of course, because I did better.”

Shen Qingshu grunted in dissatisfaction and raised his hand for Lisa to check their cake.

Lisa looked carefully, nodding and shaking her head.

Shen Qingshu could not help feeling a little guilty. He felt that her shaking head must be because of his cake.

“Cut a piece and let me taste it.” Lisa said softly.

Han Cheng hurriedly cut a piece of his own cake. Lisa reached out and took it. Her eyes were full of smiles as she took a taste of it. Then her eyes flashed with surprise, gave a thumbs up and kept giving out words of praise.

Shen Qingshu immediately became nervous, for fear that his cake would lower the score of both of them and make them fail to pass.

This feeling became more intense when he saw that the bubbles in his cake were larger than those in Han Cheng’s.

He handed the cake to Lisa in fear and waited for her comment.

Lisa frowned.

Shen Qingshu: ! ! !

Shen Qingshu’s heart was hanging high.

Lisa slowly loosened her eyebrows and looked at him.

Shen Qingshu reluctantly showed a gentle smile, his heart fluttering.

“Congratulations!” Lisa laughed. “You passed.”

Shen Qingshu: ! ! !

He turned to Han Cheng in surprise, stretched out his hand and gave him a high five, then hurriedly thanked Lisa.

Lisa smiled and looked at them and after a while, she came over with cream and fruit, “Now, you can decorate the cake and taste the delicacy you made by yourself.”

Shen Qingshu had wanted to try for a long time. Hearing this, he immediately picked up the cream and began to smear it on the cake, and placed the fruit in turn.

He deliberately teased Han Cheng and said, “Do you want to help me? Placing them by hand? Not with any machines?”

Han Cheng snorted, ignored him and decorated his own cake.

Shen Qingshu picked fruit he and Han Cheng liked and placed them on the cake, making a small fruit cake.

“I’m done.” Shen Qingshu said with a smile.

“I’m ready, too.” Han Cheng blocked his cake from view.

“Why are you still hiding?” Shen Qingshu asked intentionally.

Han Cheng chuckled, “I’m afraid you’ll be ashamed of yours.”

“Me? I’ll be ashamed of mine. Are you kidding me? Can you make a better fruit cake than me?”

“Of course.”

“I don’t believe it.”

“Let’s bet on whether you’ll like my cake.”

“What if I don’t like it?”

“Do as you please. What if you like it?”

“Same.” Shen Qingshu responded fearlessly

Anyway, as long as he said he didn’t like it, Han Cheng couldn’t forcefully make him like it.

Han Cheng looked at his confident appearance and then moved away and showed him his cake.

Shen Qingshu looked at it and knew that he had lost – he was simply cheating by drawing many small green bamboos.

You did it on purpose! Shen Qingshu looked at Han Cheng, and you shamelessly played the emotion card!

Han Cheng smiled, “Is mine better?”

What can Shen Qingshu say? He can only confess, “Yes.”

How thoughtful he was. He not only painted the little green bamboo, but also drew a naive giant panda beside him for fear that his intention would be too obvious.

After a round of guidance, Lisa went to her favourite student, Han Cheng, and found that his cake was not only delicious, but also good-looking.

“Oh, it’s lovely.” She looked at the giant panda on the cake. “I like it very much, giant panda, lovely.”

Han Cheng smiled, “Yes, I like him too.”

He looked at the bright green bamboo and said, “Lovely.”

“Can I share this cake with you?” Lisa asked. “I want the panda piece.”

Han Cheng refused, “I’m afraid not. I want to give this cake to someone.”

Lisa’s eyes became teasing when she heard the words. “Girlfriend? You are so cute, she will be very happy.”

Han Cheng shook his head, “no.”

Lisa was a little disappointed. She thought that he was so handsome, yet he didn’t have a girlfriend? This is not scientific!

After Lisa was called away by others, Han Cheng pushed the cake to Shen Qingshu, “Here, this cake is for you.”

He thought for a moment and asked him, “Are you happy?”

Shen Qingshu suddenly remembered what Lisa had just said, and unconsciously felt a little embarrassed.

“Barely passable,” he said arrogantly. “Then I will give you mine as well, since it has many fruits that you like to eat.”

“Deal.” Han Cheng picked up his cake. “Let’s go out to eat.”

“En.” Shen Qingshu smiled and nodded, then walked out with him.

Two people went out of the work room, walked to the seats in the hall, sat down and began to taste the cake made by the other.

Han Cheng forked a piece of Shen Qingshu’s cake and found it delicious.

Shen Qingshu, however, thinks that what Han Cheng made is much more delicious than his own. Compared with him. In comparison, what he makes is a cheap cake, with an inferior taste. “Actually, let’s exchange. Your cake is more delicious, and mine is not at all delicious.”

“I think it’s delicious,” Han Cheng said.

You are really, beauty in the eye of the beholder, and a pastry chef in the eye of the beholder!

Shen Qingshu couldn’t bear it. He cut a piece of his cake and handed it to him on the plate. “Here, you made it yourself. Have some.”

Han Cheng looked down and saw that he had cut a piece with bamboo on it. Then he agreed, “Alright, I’ll give you face.”

“Then I would like to give many thanks to our handsome Han for giving me face.”

Han Cheng smiled and forked some fruit on the cake and put it on Shen Qingshu’s plate. “Eat some fruit.”

“Okay,” Shen Qingshu said with a smile.

Yuan Lai, who had just experienced the failure of cake making, while Lisa was instructing others, she came out to ask Han Cheng for advice:

How come she feels that she has no place to stay?

With so many pink bubbles. It’s better for her to disappear at this time.

Yuan Lai retreated quietly and decided to wait to go out later. Han ge and Shen ge were really in love. Before coming here, she was not a fan of anyone. Now, she is about to be forced into becoming a CP fan by these two people.

This dog food is going to kill her, a lonely single dog!

Yuan Lai waited for a long time, and then went out carefully, like a snail sending out feelers first.

She went to Han Cheng and asked him a few questions. Han Cheng answered them one by one and told her several precautions. Yuan Lai nodded like a chicken pecking rice, “Oh oh oh, I understand, thank you, Han ge.”

“No need, go and make your cake.”

“Mm-hmm. I’m leaving, I won’t bother you anymore.” She smiled and looked at Han Cheng and Shen Qingshu meaningfully.

Shen Qingshu: ? ? ?

“What’s with your gaze?” He asked suspiciously.

“Nothing, this is a worshipping gaze. Shen ge, Han ge, enjoy your cake. I’ll leave first.”

After finishing speaking, she happily ran back.
