Chapter 2380 He Will Definitely Like It
Charlene immediately said, "Of course, my parents have always wanted to treat you to a meal! This is a good opportunity."
After hearing this, Ma Xi clapped her hands happily and said, "Okay, I'll bother you then. Will you accompany me to go shopping and decorate these few days?"
Charlene smiled and nodded: "Sure, no problem, I'll go after school."
"Okay!"
After the two of them made an agreement, they went to buy items for the decoration together after school.
These things are simple and easy to buy. They are nothing more than colorful balloons, shiny ribbons, small ornaments and the like.
They discussed the color matching while choosing.
However, Marcy suddenly stopped and said thoughtfully: "Hmm...should I make a cake? Can you make it?"
Charlene said, "I don't know how to do it, but my mother is very good at it. How about asking her to help?"
Ma Xi immediately shook her head and said, "That's too insincere. Can you help me ask my aunt to teach me?"
Xia Lin looked at her jokingly and said with a smile: "Then I will learn from you. If I have a boyfriend in the future, I will do it for him too."
As soon as these words came out, Ma Xi's ears turned red instantly.
She pushed Xia Lin in a reproachful manner, "Why do you say that? It makes it seem like I'm going to give..."
Xia Lin blinked mischievously and deliberately dragged out her voice, teasing: "Oh, I said the wrong thing. There is nothing wrong between you and Senior Zhou. I simply thought that you two were a couple."
Marcy immediately pretended to be angry, put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Okay! You dare to make fun of me!"
As he said that, he pounced on her and tickled her.
Marcy's fingers tickled Charlene's waist, and Charlene dodged and laughed, and the two of them played together.
After a long while, they both stopped, panting.
Marcy smoothed down her messy hair.
Charlene rubbed her belly which hurt from laughing and suggested: "Let's go to my house first. My mother will definitely be there. Let her teach us how to make a cake."
Marcy nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Having said that, he didn’t stay long and went straight to Charlene’s house.
Later, the two returned to Xia's house.
Ma Xi sincerely asked Xia's mother for advice on how to make a cake.
Mother Xia was very enthusiastic and nodded with a smile on her face, "Of course."
She loved being in a crowd, and was even happier to see young people eager to learn. She quickly stood up and asked Marcy to go to the kitchen.
Mother Xia first took out flour, eggs and sugar, and demonstrated step by step the techniques of beating eggs and stirring batter.
Marcy listened attentively, asking questions from time to time.
But the actual operation was not so smooth. The batter splattered everywhere, egg shells fell into the bowl, the oven temperature was set too high, and the cake instantly turned into a ball of black charcoal.
The kitchen was filled with smoke and smoky air, which made Marcy feel embarrassed. She apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I made such a mess here!"
Mother Xia smiled and waved her hand nonchalantly.
She swiftly picked up the rag and wiped the countertop, then helped Marcy clean up the residue on the floor.
While cleaning up, he said gently: "It's okay, it's okay. No one can learn anything overnight. Come, let's try again. I'll teach you slowly."
She repeated the steps patiently, her tone as gentle as the spring breeze, and continued to instruct.
As Marcy watched Xia's mother busying around, she felt a sense of intimacy in her heart. She felt that Xia's mother was like her godmother, very patient with her and never impatient.
Although she could go home and learn, she definitely couldn't let her family know that she was making cakes for Zhou Si.
Otherwise, her father would probably be anxious and nervous and nag her endlessly.
When Marcy was learning to bake cakes.
Zhou Si was also very busy. The project in the laboratory was in the final stage and the work was very busy.
Moreover, these days, after finishing my work, I need to go back to Lantes to take over some business, and at the same time I have to deal with the birthday party.
After running around for a while, the time he spent in school became shorter.
This state of being unable to handle everything continued for several days, which caused him to miss the rumors at school.
It was not until his birthday that he heard Xiao Zhi talk about this.
Xiao Zhi called him and said with a worried and helpless tone, "A Si, you don't know that Xiao Xiaoyang has become the object of ridicule in the whole school because of the invitation. Do you want to send a message to comfort her, or give her an invitation?"
Seeing that Zhou Si didn't respond immediately.
Xiao Zhi added, "Well, at worst, I'll stay with her throughout the birthday party and keep an eye on her, so she won't be sad."
Zhou Si was always filled with a lingering sense of caution, but he was unwilling to take any risks.
Even though he already knew, Shi Yang's identity might not be what he thought.
But the person who designed Lantus may trigger unforeseen danger at any time.
In addition to his stepmother and half-brother, those relatives who usually pretended to be close to him were watching his every move covetously, waiting for the opportunity to act.
The high-pressure atmosphere made him walk on thin ice, and he had to consider that any direct contact might become a fuse.
However, you can still send messages.
So, after hanging up the phone, he called Marcy.
The phone rang monotonously, over and over again, but in the end no one answered, leaving only a cold busy tone.
I have no choice but to switch to messaging and leaving messages.
In the message box, he typed quickly, carefully considering each word, fearing that it would cause misunderstanding: "I didn't mean to not invite you to my birthday party. Don't take what those people at school said to heart. I definitely don't mean to look down on you."
However, Marcy didn't have time to reply to his message.
At this moment, she is busy putting the final decoration on the cake.
She went through a lot of trouble to learn how to make this cake.
I failed countless times just practicing piping and adjusting the cream. Either the shape was broken or the cream was over-whipped.
Slowly, I finally mastered the technique.
This is definitely the most successful one I made today.
From baking the cake base to whipping the cream, and then to the entire decoration process, no one else helped me throughout the whole process.
She carefully smoothed the cream, selected the piping nozzle to squeeze out beautiful lace, and then meticulously decorated it with fruits and decorative sugars, all of which she did herself.
As for the mobile phone placed aside, she didn't know when it was accidentally turned to silent mode, and the buzzing sound could not penetrate her focused world at all.
When the last step was successful, looking at the nearly perfect work in front of her, Marcy felt a great sense of accomplishment and couldn't help but smile.
She put the piping bag down and stepped back to examine it.
Then he remembered to ask Xia Lin and Xia's mother beside him: "Auntie, how is it? Not bad, right?"
The mother and daughter immediately smiled and clapped, giving thumbs up and praising: "Great! So beautiful!"
"It looks much better than what I made. I'm sure you will like this cake very much!"
