The Big Sister just smiled and said, "Of course! The techniques are common knowledge, not a trade secret, so feel free to take a look!"
"Thank you, Sister! You're the best!" Lin Menghan hurriedly praised her, trying to express her gratitude. The Big Sister beamed at her compliment, saying, "You sweet-talking child!"
"Is that boy your boyfriend?" The Big Sister shifted the conversation, glancing at Xu Nancheng, who stood there looking dazed. She was clearly curious; after all, in modern times, who doesn’t enjoy a bit of gossip?
Upon hearing this, Lin Menghan's cheeks flushed slightly, but she continued to smile brightly. "Yes, yes! It's like I'm bragging about something amazing!"
"From the looks of you, it seems you really like him," the Big Sister lowered her voice and whispered to Lin Menghan.
Lin Menghan readily admitted it. In front of others—except for teachers and parents—there was no need for shyness. "Yes! I really like him! He’s such a great person! And he treats me well!" The more she spoke, the happier and more excited she became. Finally, she had someone to confide in about her feelings.
"Then why don’t you talk to him?" The Big Sister stirred the batter while encouraging her to approach Xu Nancheng. But when she saw Xu Nancheng’s gloomy expression, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Lin Menghan turned to look and saw Xu Nancheng standing there like a statue, his face looking rather unhappy. She realized that perhaps her negligence had made him feel dejected.
So she waved goodbye to the Big Sister at the cake shop and hurried over to Xu Nancheng. Of course, he hadn’t heard their earlier conversation as he was lost in his own thoughts.
She smiled warmly at him and asked, "Nancheng, what’s wrong? Who made you unhappy?"
Her smile was as warm as sunshine, carrying an innate healing power. When Xu Nancheng saw her smiling at him, the gloom in his heart dissipated instantly, and his lips involuntarily curved upwards. Yet he feigned grievance as he said, "Lin Menghan, are you mad at me?"
Lin Menghan looked puzzled and asked in confusion, "Mad? Why would I be mad?"
She tilted her head, looking at him quizzically.
"I accidentally hurt your hand earlier," Xu Nancheng said softly, filled with deep guilt and self-reproach.
However, they didn’t notice that not far away, the Big Sister was already grinning widely and secretly amused. She thought to herself: These two little ones are just too cute; they’re sulking over such a small matter!
After all, even though he spoke softly, the surroundings were quiet enough for her to hear him clearly.
Lin Menghan suddenly understood; he was apologizing for hurting her earlier. She felt a bit choked up by his tone and hadn’t had time to respond before coming into the shop. If it weren’t for the Big Sister at the cake shop, he might have sulked all night.
Realizing this made her laugh; he was so adorable for apologizing over something so minor—most people wouldn’t even think twice about it—and she hadn’t blamed him at all.
"Oh Nancheng, you’re too sensitive! Where did I show that I was mad?" Lin Menghan looked at the nervous boy before her and couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "Do I look like I’m angry?" She genuinely didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
"Really?" Xu Nancheng looked at Lin Menghan with disbelief as his tension gradually gave way to surprise. His smile began to brighten as he slowly extended a hand toward her.
Lin Menghan smiled back and nodded vigorously. "Of course it’s true! You’re just too sensitive! So silly! If I were mad, would I still be saying all this to you?"
Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, swaying playfully with her movements, giving her a cute and lively appearance. Just as she nodded, she suddenly noticed Xu Nancheng's outstretched hand, and in an instant, she understood his intentions. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering how proactive Nancheng was in this regard. Ever since they held hands last time, he had been thinking about it every day; now that they had hugged and kissed, he seemed to be fixated on those gestures as well.
However, she had no complaints or feelings of disdain. On one hand, as his girlfriend, it was only natural for her to indulge him; on the other hand, she genuinely enjoyed the sweet moments of holding hands, hugging, and kissing with Xu Nancheng.
Without hesitation, she reached out her hand to take his. This time, Xu Nancheng was careful; he held her hand just right—firm enough to feel their warmth and presence without making Lin Menghan uncomfortable.
At that moment, Xu Nancheng smiled foolishly, thinking to himself that he must look silly in front of Lin Menghan. Although he had never experienced this before and had never even considered it—his mind usually occupied with math and physics—he felt genuinely close and gentle.
Lin Menghan thought about this and felt a warm sensation in her heart. She gazed into Xu Nancheng's eyes, filled with affection. If it weren't for the inappropriateness of the occasion and their age, she would have wanted to hold him tightly and kiss him endlessly.
At their age, holding hands was quite normal; hugging was acceptable too. However, kissing might seem excessive to many people.
The couple looked so affectionate! A nearby older sister, preparing to bake a cake, noticed the way they looked at each other and teased them playfully.
Upon hearing her words, they quickly broke their gaze; if it weren't for their current shyness, it would have been hard to believe they had just been gazing so deeply into each other's eyes.
Seeing this, the older sister felt a bit embarrassed for interrupting them. "You two continue," she said hurriedly. "I’ll get back to my work!"
