As soon as Chu Qianze woke up, he saw a message from Jie, so he picked up his phone.

The message was sent at 6:30 in the morning, and it’s very common to greet good morning.

He looked at it and was too lazy to type a reply, so he left a voicemail, and said, “Good morning, I just got up.”

The man immediately replied: [Have you eaten?]

Yangshengzhai: “Not yet.”

Jie: [Remember to eat breakfast.]

Yangshengzhai: “How about you?”

Jie: [Already ate.]

Yangshengzhai: “That’s good. If you still have any stomach problems, be sure to pay attention.”

Jie: [Hmm.]

Chu Qianze ended the conversation and flipped the phone down. The two basically chatted every day.

Since they added each other’s WeChat, they kept in touch every day.

 

The man greets him in the morning, chats with him after his live broadcast, and talks at night when he has nothing to do.

The two occasionally engaged in trivial conversation, which was simple, natural, and fulfilling.

But Chu Qianze always felt that this man was chasing him.

He quickly rejected this possibility to Buddha. According to the plot, this man has nothing to do with him, and their relationship is even worse than that of a stranger. If he thinks this man is chasing him, it’s a bit narcissistic of him.

But Chu Qianze thought for a second, the plot had collapsed into rubble. Instead of relying on it, it’s better to believe that millions of windfalls will come from heaven.

He scratched his head, pondering it.

If he couldn’t figure it out, he’d better not think about it, how troublesome.

Chu Qianze ended his live broadcast, and received a message on WeChat from Jie.

 

Jie: [Are you free now?]

The live broadcast just ended, so he’s free now.

Yangshengzhai: [Yes.]

Jie: [I tried the recipe that you mentioned last night, but I failed, so I didn’t do it again. So now I want to ask you.]

Yangshengzhai: [This is indeed a bit difficult, what did it look like?]

Jie: [Can we voice call? Typing is too slow.]

Chu Qianze looked at this message and was thinking about the man’s intention when a call popped up in front of him. He rubbed his finger on the screen, and finally pressed it.

The man sent a picture. He clicked it, then listened to him talk.

“This is what it looked like when I made it yesterday.” Yun Zhoujie said.

When it came to his own profession, Chu Qianze wasn’t joking anymore. After asking him about the production process, he suggested processes and possibilities, Yun Zhoujie also took note of them one by one.

 

It can be seen that Yun Zhoujie is very serious about learning, and it can be seen from the logic and method that he has his own way of learning. Chu Qianze can see through a point and draw his own inferences from time to time, which makes Chu Qianze feel the satisfaction of teaching students.

He didn’t bother to think about other things and wholeheartedly told the man about his experience.

One was willing to learn and the other was willing to teach. When it was over, Chu Qianze glanced at the time; more than an hour had passed.

“Are you still working?” He asked.

“It’s fine to rest for a while. There aren’t many things to do lately, so I wanted to take this opportunity to learn more.” Yun Zhoujie said in a faint tone.

“Actually, it’s almost done. You can try it when you go back.” Chu Qianze didn’t talk about it anymore.

Yun Zhoujie hummed, “Thank you.”

“It’s okay, I’m happy to be able to teach such a smart student.” The president of Group A is obediently following his cooking lesson, making him quite content. Besides, chatting with this person is really pleasant; they can have endless chats all day.

“We’ve known each other for some time already. I’m also in City A, do you want to meet face-to-face?” Yun Zhoujie nonchalantly said, making Chu Qianze freeze for a while.

“Face-to-face?”

“When I chatted with you at the beginning, I said that I wanted to be friends with you. I felt very compatible with you when we talked.” Yun Zhoujie said, then added, after a pause, “I like you very much.” His tone was natural, as if it was merely an inner expression between friends.

In fact, in his last sentence, there was a vague temptation. After getting along for a period of time, he could feel that Yangshengzhai seemed to have good patience with him, at least a little different than others. Does that mean that he has a chance?

Chu Qianze didn’t know what Yun Zhoujie meant, so he also followed, and replied, “I like you too.”

“Then let’s meet and have a meal together.” Yun Zhoujie pulled back on the topic.

Chu Qianze didn’t care about the meeting, it was just troublesome to go out at most, but this man’s recent behavior always made him a little concerned.

There is a feeling of… something happening when they meet face to face.

Chu Qianze, who didn’t want to get into any trouble, was ready to refuse directly.

“It’s just a meal, a simple meeting between friends.” Yun Zhoujie’s tone was natural, like saying something very ordinary thing, “Anyway, I would love to meet you. I hope you can consider it.”

Chu Qianze held back the rejection he was about to say. He propped his chin in one hand with some carelessness, and said, “Then I’ll think about it?”

Yun Zhoujie: “Good.”

This person sounds very happy.

Chu Qianze tapped his fingers on the screen.

He hadn’t even agreed to the meeting yet and he already sounded so happy?

Chu Qianze waited for a while, seeing that the man had no intention of hanging up, seemingly waiting for him to hang up first.

“Then I’ll hang up first, see you next time.” He listened to the man’s response, and then pressed the hang up button.

Yun Zhoujie looked at the call record displayed above: 93 minutes.

He understood that Yangshengzhai had always separated the Internet from reality, and wouldn’t agree to have a face-to-face meeting with a fan. He thought that Yangshengzhai would refuse, but he didn’t expect him to change his mind and consider it, which is much better than what Yun Zhoujie imagined.

Yun Zhoujie clicked on the recorder app on his phone and pressed the play button.

“I like you too.”

Yangshengzhai’s voice rang out.

Yun Zhoujie pressed it again.

“I like you too.”

After a while, he clicked on it again.

The voice echoed in the office for a long time.

 

In the evening, Chu Qianze packed up his things and went downstairs to throw out the garbage. When he walked out of the garbage station, he saw Yun Zhoujie walking in his direction, carrying a large bag of things in his hand. He looked like he had just returned from work.

Chu Qianze glanced at him, and greeted him as usual, “You’re back early today.”

Yun Zhoujie answered, “There isn’t much work today.”

Chu Qianze swept a gaze over the bag and felt that something inside looked familiar. There was whipped cream, gelatine tablets, fruit pulp, and the like. Not the things needed for what they discussed earlier on the phone.

But if he remembered correctly, Yun Zhoujie isn’t much of a sweet eater. Since that time when he taught him how to make tiramisu, he didn’t mention any related topics.

“Are you preparing to make a cake?” Chu Qianze didn’t hold back from asking.

Yun Zhoujie gave him a look when he heard this, seemingly surprised by the question, “Yes, you’re also knowledgeable about cakes?”

“Just a little bit.” Chu Qianze wanted to say something else, but the elevator door opened.

The two men walked out of the elevator, went to each of their own doors, said goodbye, and closed their doors.

As far as Chu Qianze thought, Yun Zhoujie should be asking for Yangshengzhai. Compared to his neighbor, who didn’t know each other, naturally, Yangshengzhai is more reliable.

He opened his phone and opened the chat page with Jie, but the conversation between the two was still stuck on the record of the phone call at noon.

That evening, he received no message.

The next day, at noon, Chu Qianze chatted with the man, but didn’t see him bring up any topic about dessert either.

When the evening came, Chu Qianze couldn’t resist mentioning it.

Yangshengzhai: [Are you studying anything about desserts lately?]

Jie: [Well, what’s the matter?]

There was no outright denial.

Chu Qianze typed: [Just a casual question. Have you been interested in it lately?]

Jie: [I haven’t perfected the last dessert yet, so I won’t be greedy for anything else for the time being.]

It seems that he isn’t prepared to say it yet.

Chu Qianze was silent for a moment, and then replied: [If you have any questions, you can chat and ask me.]

Jie: [Good, I won’t be polite.]

Jie: [Have you thought about what to do for tomorrow’s live?]

Yangshengzhai: [I already have a general idea. I’ll finish it tomorrow.]

Jie: [Well, then you have to rest early.]

Yangshengzhai: [You too, good night~]

Jie: [Goodnight.jpg]

The facial paralysis villain pulled the quilt with a calm face.

Chu Qianze put down his phone, opened the live streaming software, and began to read private messages from fans.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, so he stood up to open it and saw Yun Zhoujie standing outside.

Yun Zhoujie pushed his glasses further, and asked, “Are you busy now?”

Chu Qianze suddenly remembered that his live broadcast equipment was still in the living room. He covered up using the door a little, and asked, “No, what is it?”

“You said before that you know something about making cakes.” Yun Zhoujie’s eyes drifted down. “There are some things that I wanted to ask for advice, can you help me?”

Looking for his neighbor, who isn’t quite close to him, but didn’t ask Yangshengzhai. Chu Qianze didn’t show his thoughts to his face, and smiled lightly, “Of course, no problem.”

With that said, he closed the door and followed Yun Zhoujie towards the opposite side.
