On Thursday night, Yun Li lay in bed chatting with Jiang Shiyu.
"I'm picking you up tomorrow, and I'll make you a cake."
"Are you treating me like a pig? Why is it that every time we hang out, you just cook for me?"
Jiang Shiyu leaned against the wall outside the laboratory, the empty hallway illuminated only by bright lights. He looked down at his phone. Slowly lifting his relaxed eyelids, he gazed at the wall opposite him. Cooking for his loved one was a source of happiness for him. It was something he had longed for in the past but could never attain.
"If I could raise you like a pig, I would be proud."
Yun Li sent an angry stomping emoji in response.
"What? With me being this fat, won't you get tired of it?"
"Then I’ll just eat pig too."
Yun Li couldn't help but chuckle softly. Qin Nianchu and Chen Jin Xiu had already perked up their ears to eavesdrop on Yun Li's side of the conversation. One by one, they peeked their heads out.
"Li Li, what are you looking at? Why are you laughing so happily? Let us join in on the fun."
Yun Li stifled her laughter, her expression slightly awkward. "It's nothing. Am I disturbing your rest?"
"No, we’re not going to sleep this early."
"How about we go shopping at the mall this weekend? It's been a while since we went out together."
"Sure! I don't have anything planned for the weekend," Yun Li agreed.
She flipped over and typed: "Then I won't go."
"What if..."
"?"
"What if you act like last time?" Yun Li gently bit her lip, feeling a bit shy.
Seeing this, Jiang Shiyu chuckled softly. "It won't happen this time."
"Don't you miss me? We haven't seen each other for two days."
Through the screen, Yun Li could imagine that if he were in front of her, he would definitely be leaning against her neck, whispering those sweet nothings.
"Alright then!"
On Friday, Jiang Shiyu drove to pick up Yun Li, who rushed out as soon as her class ended. Everyone could tell from her hurried demeanor where she was headed. Just as Qin Nianchu stepped out of the classroom, she clicked her tongue at Yun Li's retreating figure, thinking how obedient Li Li had become since falling in love—like a playful child eager to go outside.
From a distance, Yun Li spotted Jiang Shiyu's car and her smile widened as she hurried over to open the door and get in. The two of them went to the supermarket to buy ingredients. When they reached the produce section, Jiang Shiyu asked what flavor they wanted.
Yun Li pointed at a box of strawberries and said, "Strawberry."
Jiang Shiyu reached for a box of strawberries. "How many times have you made a cake?"
"I've never made one before."
"Really?" Yun Li hesitated. "Haven't you tried making one before?"
Jiang Shiyu was busy picking up two boxes of blueberries and replied without looking up, "Nope."
"I've watched tutorials; it's not difficult," Yun Li encouraged him, not wanting to dampen his confidence. "Everyone has a first time. Even if it doesn't turn out well, you'll have experience for the next time."
Once they got home, Jiang Shiyu started preparing. He had already bought a cream mixer in advance but hadn't opened it yet. After disinfecting it, he began washing the strawberries one by one. As he placed each strawberry into the bowl, Yun Li snuck one for herself.
"Are you full now, little mouse?" Jiang Shiyu teased.
Yun Li shook her head. "Nope, not enough."
Jiang Shiyu chuckled. "Then eat more."
After eating about ten strawberries, Yun Li felt full and stopped eating, watching as Jiang Shiyu washed some blueberries. She ended up eating quite a few more strawberries and realized that she was already too full for cake.
