Chapter 11 (1/2)
Chapter 11: Transformation – See, men have such low standards
Tang Mi suddenly recalled Yu Yi asking the saht in the car
Who were you thinking of when you were singing that song?
She couldn't figure out why, but she didn't want to talk about Lin Che in front of Yu Yi
Yu Xin, still watching her froht hint of sadness in his brows
Tang Mi's pupils dilated a little then questioned, ”Why are you asking this?”
Yu Xin replied, ”Luo Hao previously investigated He Jia Shu That year, it was his niece He Si Qi that had accused you of plagiarism, correct? You and He Si Qi were both part of shi+ University's baking society, and Lin Che was the president”
She got a little suspicious ”Why were you investigating him?”
”The company almost lost a talented pastry chef because of him Do you think these type of people deserve to stay another year with us?”
Tang Mi: ”…”
”Director He…did he…”
”He's been dismissed” Yu Xin didn't seem like he wanted to talk about him ”He's not important here Was Lin Che your boyfriend from university?”
Tang Mi paused for a moment She lowered her head to the table and kept her eyes on the fruit
Yu Xin's eyes dilated as he sat down beside the table ”You h, men have such low standards, sweetheart”
Tang Mi suddenly thought this was a bit funny, she remembered this was the same behaviour as when the little cat that Fu Xin's faot moody
”He wasn't ed and sat down opposite Yu Xin ”When I was in highschool I fell in love with baking, but I was too busy studying that I didn't have a lot of time to practice and learn After I entered university, I discovered there was a baking society during orientation and just joined without thinking”
shi+ University's baking society was created solely by Lin Che, his parents owned a Western styled restaurant so he was always in close contact to the culinary world
”It was only until after I joined the baking society that I found out the Club President was a really influential figure in the university” Tang Mi reanised the society welcome party, but the very irls in the roo
”His s, it felt like a ray of sunshi+neEveryone referred to hiht h it didn't taste particularly good, that feeling is still unforgettable”
Yu Xin leaned back against the chair, a war his ruffled hair a light shade of gold He gazed at Tang Mi, his htly lifted to ask, ”Did you like him?”
Tang Mi laughed a little ”It was hard not to like hi and always treated me really well He told me that you need to be full of happiness in order to bake cakes, so that the person eating it could also feel the sas I had for hi to myself, he'd understand my emotions once he tasted it”
”And then?”
”And then…' Tang Mi laughed a bit in e That day I waited the whole afternoon for him at our meetup point but he never turned up I found out the next day that he had actually left the country”
Yu Xin's brows raised a little Silence followed, so Tang Mi continued ”I thought it was really funny at the time Could he have left the country because of me? Except, even if he did rejectfuss about it, was there really a need to avoid me?”
Even until this day she never found out the reason
Yu Xin seeo to France to study Western dishes with Chesterton?”
”You know about that?” Tang Mi looked over at hiht, since he's so famously known as 'Chesterton's only Chinese apprentice', the e of him”
She drank so part of the story ”Not long after he left, He Si Qi also went after him to France Now they both own their own bakery, and I'll probably be receiving a wedding invitation from them soon”
Yu Xin raised his eyes to look at her, he pursed his lips and asked, ”Do you still like him now?”
Tang Mi shook her head ”If you had asked before, I wouldn't have known ain at the bakery exhibition yesterday, I realised the feelings I had had for hier there”
How long could feelings last for a person? A year? Ten years? A lifetime?
Since her first year of university until now, over the span of almost five years, ht she did
Or s she had for him had completely disappeared after that endless afternoon
Yu Xin suddenly stood up fro Mi looked at him a little surprised ”What is it?”
He walked over to her side, leaned over and asked, ”Last night at karaoke, why did you choose to drink?”
Kiss the lass of randomly mixed alcohol?
Tang Mi got distracted by the question, not understanding why he would suddenly ask this question ”Because…um it's CEO Yu…”
As if she'd be brave enough to kiss CEO Yu!
Yu Xin's lips turned into a smile, his dimples on his cheeks deepened ”I'ht?”
Tang Mi: ”…”
Wait, isn't this like a robbery?
However, before her thoughts could even sort themselves out, a pair of soft lips had already pressed themselves on top of hers
Tang Mi was so taken by surprise she forgot how to resist, her eyes wide open, she could only see Yu Xin's two little fan-like eyelashes htly
Then he suddenly shot open his eyes
