Tiramisu Cake, Cinderella Who Made a Wish

3 o'clock in the afternoon.

The city streets were shrouded in hazy mist.

The raindrops hit the glass curtain wall in an almost constant rhythm, making a crisp sound.

The huge Glimmer Café has only 7 or 8 guests, all of whom are white-collar workers working in the building.

Morning Star Building is only about one kilometer away from the Teachers' University campus. It is surrounded by office buildings and many businesses.

Usually there are many people in the cafe even on weekends.

But obviously, this sudden heavy rain disrupted their normal business rhythm.

Qian Lele is sitting on a small stool in the baking room, holding a computer professional book in his hand.

Some time ago, I chatted with Tang Song about employment issues, which inspired her deeply.

Yan City Normal University's computer major is not that good, and what the teacher teaches is general but not precise. The main purpose is to expose them to more languages and technologies and find a direction that suits them.

If you want to get an offer from a large company after graduation, you must be proficient in a certain subject.

Therefore, at the suggestion of Tang Song, she began to study Frontend development in depth.

The deeper I go, the more I realize how superficial I am and how much I need to learn.

New syntax, closures, prototype chains, asynchronous, various frameworks, construction tools...

But she has to spend a lot of time working.

This gave her a strong sense of urgency and crisis, fearing that she would be eliminated by social competition after graduation.

"Hello, Lele, are you studying on the job again?" A voice sounded next to him.

Qian Lele quickly closed the book, stood up, and said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Yang, I have finished all my work here, so..."

This Brother Yang is the duty manager of Morning Star Building branch, Yang Hongwei, and can be regarded as the second person in the store.

I usually take good care of her, and the schedule is reasonably arranged according to her courses.

She now works full-time at the coffee shop, and her salary is no less than others, but she secretly reads and rests here, always feeling uneasy.

"It doesn't matter." Yang Hongwei smiled and waved his hand, "It is right to study more when you are free. We at Mr. Xie often encourage our employees to study hard, and even get bonuses for improving their academic qualifications."

"Thank you, Brother Yang." Qian Lele bent down to express his gratitude sincerely.

The two chatted a bit about the weather and school.

The Mobile Phone in Yang Hongwei's pocket began to vibrate one after another.

He picked it up and glanced at it, shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "The other two shareholders of our company have started making trouble in the group again. Judging from their chat content, it is estimated that this financing will be ruined."

The group he is talking about is the company's management group. In addition to the leaders of the head office, there are also the store managers and duty managers of each branch.

Hearing this, Qian Lele's heart skipped a beat and he said nervously, "Then... then Mr. Xie is very angry. Will the cafe be affected?"

Regarding the issue of shareholder conflicts, they, small employees, actually know something about it, and there are various rumors in private.

Yang Hongwei picked up a piece of cake scraps cut off.

While eating, he continued, "The cafe will definitely not be affected. At most, the financing will fail, so we can maintain the status quo. Well, these are not things we can worry about. We can just concentrate on doing our jobs."

"Well, I understand Brother Yang." Qian Lele lowered his head slightly, still feeling a little uneasy.

She admires and is grateful to Xie Shuyu, the elegant, dignified, and resolute Female President.

I hope the other party can always go smoothly.

But she was just a part-time college student, so she couldn't help at all and could only worry.

"Okay, I'm going to stay in the store." Yang Hongwei clapped his hands and said naturally, "Oh, by the way, you get off work at around 5 o'clock, right? It's raining so hard, I'll drive you, Na Na and Xiao Shuo back later."

After saying that, Yang Hongwei walked out of the baking room with a smile.

Looking at his back, Qian Lele whispered "Thank you" in a low voice.

There are always more good people around her, and she can always feel the warmth of society.

This duty manager, who is in his 40s, also works as a barista in the coffee shop. He is very skilled and has a kind personality.

Moreover, he is one of the first batch of old employees to start a business with Mr. Xie.

5pm.

"Buzz buzz—" Mobile Phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

Qian Lele quickly took it out and looked at it.

It's Ding Yao.

After answering the phone, "Hello, Yaoyao, what's wrong?"

The clear voice of Ding Yao soon came from the receiver. "Lele classmate! Are you off work?"

"Yeah, let's get off work right away."

"I just checked the weather forecast. There will still be heavy rain tomorrow, and it's not that small. It will be troublesome for you to come here."

"Well, it's okay, I'll take a taxi there."

Because she had to put on new clothes and beautifully wrapped gifts, she originally thought of taking a taxi.

And the distance is not far, and the fare is more than ten yuan, which is acceptable.

"Hey, there's no need to waste money. I've made arrangements for you. When the time comes, Zhang Haoyu will drive to pick you up and drive you directly to the X-STAT Party Hall. I've booked the venue here. We're all friends. There are all kinds of delicious food and fun!"

Ding Yao became more and more excited as he talked and began to introduce the layout and entertainment activities of the birthday party.

When she finished speaking, Qian Lele said in a soft but firm voice, "Yaoyao, there's really no need, I'll go there by myself."

"Um..." Ding Yao said in a helpless tone, "Okay, it seems I can't persuade you anymore, so let's keep in touch. Come over early tomorrow and I'll take you to meet some new friends."

"Thank you Yaoyao, I... I'm just worried that I won't fit in..."

"Okay, I've decided happily, classmate Lele, I'll wait for you tomorrow!" Ding Yao paused, then said softly, "Actually, Zhang Haoyu is a pretty good person, that's because we are too familiar with each other to do anything with him.

His father is a senior executive of Yan Province Bank, and his mother is the deputy chief physician of the Provincial People's Hospital. We are colleagues of Dad. "

After saying this, Ding Yao said goodbye and hung up the phone directly.

After a while, another WeChat message was received on Mobile Phone.

[Ding Yao: "Lele, I think you just lack self-confidence. In fact, you are very good. You are serious, hard-working, sincere and simple, and work hard. You have so many beautiful qualities. I believe you will become a real princess one day! Come on!"]

Putting away Mobile Phone, Qian Lele sighed.

She understood what this friend meant. In fact, she knew that she was not having an easy life and wanted to help her.

But her family was a bottomless pit. She never had any plans to fall in love, she only wanted to work hard to live a better life.

Thinking of falling in love, Qian Lele somehow thought of Tang Song again.

The scenes of the past few days flashed before my eyes, and a Tian Tian smile appeared on my face unconsciously.

When I thought of his warm hands in the morning, my face gradually became red and hot.

"Lele, Brother Yang asked me to call you. It's time to get ready to get off work." The waiter Na Na shouted to her, interrupting her reverie.

Qian Lele quickly stood up and said, "Okay, I'll be right away!"

Change into your own clothes in the dressing room and walk out of the baking room with your bag on your back.

I happened to see a few employees whispering in front of the window next to the front desk.

Qian Lele After listening to it for a while, he understood the whole story.

Due to the heavy rain, light snacks and desserts in the cafe will definitely be out of stock today.

Mr. Xie has formulated very reasonable regulations in this regard.

In addition to giving away unsalable items to high-quality cafe members who come to the store for tasting, employees can also buy them at a very low discount.

Qian Lele's eyes swept across the bright display window, and finally landed on a 5-inch tiramisu mousse cake.

She made this by herself in the morning. It is made from real ingredients, healthy and delicious.

She suddenly thought when Tang Song helped her retrieve the data deleted in the background.

I once promised to let him come to Glimmer Coffee when he is free and treat him to the cake I made.

"Hey, Lele is out, let's go?" Yang Hongwei waved to her.

Qian Lele pursed his lips, walked to the display window, and said softly, "Brother Yang, I want to buy this Tiramisu Cake, is it okay?"

Yang Hongwei was stunned and said cheerfully, "Of course, Na Na, you can help Lele pack it up."

After knowing her for so long, this was the first time he saw Qian Lele spending money on desserts in a cafe.

In the past, I would take some scraps of cake embryos, or Croissant, or bread that was about to expire.

After paying 40 yuan, a beautiful hand-held gift bag appeared in the hands of Qian Lele.

Looking at Tiramisu Cake filled with Ke Ke powder, Qian Lele had a big smile on his face.

Looking forward to what kind of expression Tang Song will have when he sees this little surprise.

The white Sylphy stopped outside the gate of Teacher's Apartment.

The rear door was gently pushed open.

Qian Lele opened the umbrella and walked down.

"Bye, be careful on the road."

"Bye, see you tomorrow."

After watching the car drive away slowly, Qian Lele carefully placed the cake in front of him and escorted it towards the apartment.

It was completely dark, and the street lamps reflected hazy spots in the rain and fog.

Wearing sandals, she stepped on the rain-covered road, her steps cheerful and light.

The rapid raindrops fell on the umbrella, as if playing beautiful music.

As she watched the elevator go up level by level, she looked at the exquisite Tiramisu Cake in her hand, her heart became more and more joyful, and she even began to hum a song softly.

Quickly walked out of the elevator, took out the key, opened the door, and changed into slippers.

Qian Lele slowed down, came to the door of the master bedroom, and shouted softly, "Brother Song, I'm back. You haven't eaten yet, right?"

"Not yet." A magnetic voice came.

Through the gap in the door, Qian Lele saw Tang Song who was concentrating on the computer.

"That's just right. I cooked the food together."

"Thank you Lele."

Qian Lele walked into the kitchen with a smile on his face, first took the cake out of the gift bag and put it in the refrigerator.

Then put on an apron and start cooking.

More than half an hour later, the steaming hot meal appeared on the table.

Xiaomi porridge, steamed buns, Stir-fried Eggs with Tomatoes, garlic lettuce.

Dinner was spent as usual, with the two of them chatting.

After cleaning up the kitchen, I saw Qian Lele coming out.

Tang Song suddenly asked, "Would you like to watch TV together for a while?"

Qian Lele was stunned, nodded vigorously and said, "Okay."

Then, the balcony window was opened a crack, and a cool breeze blew in.

Tang Song lay on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and randomly found a popular comedy variety show.

Soon, the smell of laundry soap mixed with the fragrance of a girl hit me.

Qian Lele sat down obediently next to him, standing straight and looking straight at the TV.

Tang Song smiled and began to take the initiative to chat with her about Frontend's knowledge and her career plan for herself.

Now he was in the "Study God" state, his thinking was extremely sharp, and Qian Lele soon relaxed.

The two of them just watched the variety show and chatted casually.

Laughter came from time to time in the living room.

The atmosphere is getting warmer and warmer.

The time is Didi, and it's 9 o'clock before you know it.

The variety show ends.

Qian Lele pursed his lips and was about to get up to get the surprise cake he had prepared.

Tang Song suddenly said, "By the way Lele, I have something to tell you."

"Oh, Brother Song, tell me." Qian Lele quickly lowered his butt that was about to be raised and listened carefully.

Tang Song looked at her bright eyes and said warmly, "I have been here Teacher's Apartment for half a month. You have really worked hard during this time. You helped me make breakfast and dinner, and wash clothes."

Their eyes met, listening to what Tang Song said.

Qian Lele's eyes trembled. With her sharp mind, she instantly guessed what the other party was going to say next.

I also remembered that Teacher Jiang said before leaving that Tang Song was only staying here for half a month.

In other words, Tang Song will return to his original rhythm of life, and there will most likely be very few opportunities for them to meet each other in the future.

But this is natural. This is the house of Teacher Jiang.

She and Tang Song are just staying here, and they can't stay like this forever.

Biting her lip hard, she said with a trembling voice, "It doesn't matter. After all, I have to eat, so I made it easily, and the bread and desserts were all brought back from the cafe."

Tang Song paused and said, "I should be leaving tomorrow. You can do less in the future. I have made a friend like you in the half month I have been studying here, which is an unexpected bonus."

"Me too, I'm very happy to become good friends with Brother Song." Her voice was mumbling, and her throat was extremely dry.

Qian Lele lowered his head, sniffed, and tried hard to suppress the tears that wanted to burst out.

It's obviously nothing, it's still at Yancheng anyway, and you can always see it in the future.

And there is also WeChat, who can often chat.

If you encounter a problem, you can shamelessly ask him for advice.

But I don't know why, but I feel empty in my heart and feel an indescribable discomfort.

Seeing Qian Lele's reaction, Tang Song smiled and patted her head, "What's wrong Lele, are you reluctant to leave me?"

"Ah!" Qian Lele subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but after a moment of silence, he still said with some difficulty, "Thank you, Brother Song, for taking care of me during this period. Not only did you help me clean up the inventory of bracelets, but you also guided me to sell fruit tea drinks. Thank you."

"Actually, I'm quite reluctant to let you go." Tang Song turned sideways and said seriously, "Even if we no longer live here, I hope we can keep in touch. Lele is welcome to chat with me. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to me at any time."

Hearing Tang Song's words, Qian Lele's lowered eyes became moist, "I will do it, Brother Song."

Immediately afterwards, the warm and fresh breath enveloped her.

Qian Lele let out a "woo" and looked at Tang Song who suddenly hugged her with dull eyes.

"Okay, don't make it so sad. In fact, we live not far away. We can meet up anytime we want."

"I... I... I..." Qian Lele hesitated, unable to speak, his face getting redder and redder.

Tang Song smiled and opened his arms.

Under the influence of the mask effect, he can actually say that his heart is as calm as water.

This hug is also very pure.

Of course, he had to admit that this innocent college girl was indeed beautiful.

"Um..." Qian Lele stood up in a panic, turned his back to him and said, "I brought back a cake from the cafe. Brother Song, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Qian Lele trotted into the kitchen.

He wiped his wet eyes and washed his hot face with cold water.

But there seemed to be a deer jumping around in my heart, unable to settle down.

But the sadness of parting was mostly washed away.

Just like Tang Song said, he also regards himself as a good friend. They live not far away and can meet and chat anytime they want.

I should be happy.

It's impossible to really live with him for the rest of your life, right?

Qian Lele was stunned, and then immediately put away these messy thoughts.

After sorting out my mood, I took out the beautifully packaged cake and returned to the living room.

"Brother Song, this is the tiramisu mousse cake I made myself. Please try it to see if it suits your taste."

Qian Lele placed the cake in front of Tang Song and gently opened the box.

"It's so beautiful, thank you Lele." Tang Song smiled, reached out and took out a white paper bag from under the coffee table.

Jiang You Rong probably likes eating cakes. There are a lot of candles, tableware, birthday hats and other accessories piled under the coffee table.

Tang Song tore open the paper bag, took out a pink candle, and inserted it in the middle of the cake.

Then he picked up the match and lit it.

After doing all this, Tang Song raised his head and looked at Qian Lele, and said warmly, "Although it's not a birthday cake, it can still make a wish.

You can say what you most want to realize at the moment and then blow out the candles. Maybe it will actually come true?

Of course, this wish cannot be too unrealistic, otherwise it will not work. "

Before leaving, he wanted to give his college friend a gift.

Tang Song sees many advantages in her.

Simple and kind, simple and sincere, diligent and thrifty, self-improvement...

She is a girl who is full of kindness to the world and deserves to be treated tenderly by the world.

"My wish..." Qian Lele said to himself.

She has many wishes, and every time she celebrates her birthday, she would make them with her eyes closed for a long time.

Of course, these wishes are too unrealistic and are more of an expectation for the future.

After a while, Qian Lele showed an embarrassed smile on his face.

He said softly, "Then wish me all the best tomorrow and have a happy birthday party."

After saying that, she leaned forward and blew out the candle with a "whoosh" sound.

"What birthday party?" Tang Song blinked in surprise, "Your birthday?"

"No, no!" Qian Lele quickly explained with a blush, "Tomorrow is the birthday of my good friend Ding Yao. She booked a party hall for her birthday party and invited me to come with her.

But her friends are very rich, and the gifts they give and the clothes they wear are very expensive.

I just felt that I might be embarrassed and embarrassed if I went there, so I was always worried.

But she is a good friend of mine, so it would be inappropriate not to go. "

This was her first big difficulty during the summer vacation, and it was also a worry that had troubled her for a long time.

"I think your wish will definitely come true." Tang Song nodded slightly and scanned Qian Lele carefully through the lenses.

I instantly remembered her height and measurements.

This is a very simple wish.

It can be seen that Qian Lele is a very pragmatic girl.

Qian Lele seemed to suddenly think of something. He mustered up the courage and whispered, "By the way, Brother Song, I bought a black skirt and I want to wear it when I go there tomorrow. How about I put it on and try it on first? Can you help me see if it looks good?"

It's been a week since I bought it, but she has never been embarrassed to show it to Tang Song.

Tang Song said happily, "Okay, let's go."

"Wait for me, it will be quick." Qian Lele said and ran quickly towards the bedroom.

After waiting for less than 5 minutes, the sound of "tapping" footsteps sounded.

Tang Song turned his head and saw Qian Lele, who had changed into a fish tail Little Black Dress, walking over.

The soft and compliant fabric outlines a curvy figure.

Noticing Tang Song's gaze, Qian Lele asked shyly and expectantly, "Do you think it looks good?"

"Very beautiful. I didn't expect Lele that you have such a good figure." Tang Song Wei Xiao winked at her.

Qian Lele's previous outfits were all in student style, very loose.

Wearing this slim-fitting long skirt at this time will instantly reveal your hidden good figure.

Excellent body proportions, tall breasts, and slender waist exude charming youthful vitality.

Hearing Tang Song's praise, Qian Lele didn't know where to put his hands.

His eyes were evasive and his face was red.

In the past, many people praised her for her good figure and beauty, but when Tang Song said it, her whole body became Susu numb.

After hesitating for a few words, Qian Lele abruptly changed the subject and greeted Tang Song to start cutting the cake.

The rain outside the window stopped at some point.

The cool breeze carrying water vapor passed through the room, and the temperature in the living room was just right.

The two held up their dinner plates and ate the cake.

10 o'clock in the evening.

Qian Lele carefully took off her black skirt, folded it and placed it on the bedside.

Put on a loose short-sleeved T-shirt, turn off the lights, and lie down on the bed.

After a while, she let out a long sigh in the darkness, sat up again, hugged her legs and leaned against the wall and began to be in a daze.

She, who had always had a regular schedule, actually suffered from insomnia.

There is both reluctance and loss for Tang Song's departure.

There is also anxiety and nervousness about Ding Yao's birthday party.

In the darkness, the Mobile Phone screen on the bedside table lit up.

Qian Lele picked it up and took a look, a smile instantly appeared on his face.

[Tang Song: "Good night Lele, your wish has been accepted. I believe tomorrow will be a happy and unforgettable birthday party."]

After staring at this message for a while, Qian Lele replied softly with his voice, "Thank you, Brother Song, good night."

After sending the message, Qian Lele lay down on the bed again, gently closed his eyes, and started counting sheep.

I don't know how much time passed, but her breathing gradually became steady.

In her sleep, she sometimes raised the corners of her mouth and sometimes frowned.

During the summer vacation of her sophomore year, 20-year-old Qian Lele felt troubled by "love" and "friendship" respectively.

Just like the tiramisu mousse cake she had tonight.

Sweet with a slight bitterness.
