Lin Chu couldn't help but laugh. He nodded shamelessly. "Indeed."
Yan Beicheng raised his eyebrows. "When did you become so thick-skinned?"
Lin Chu glanced at him and poked his chest with her finger. "Isn't that the case?"
Her gaze seemed to be angry but not angry at the same time. It was so charming that Yan Beicheng felt his heart melt. He nodded decisively. "Yes."
"Then it's the truth. It's not that I'm thick-skinned," Lin Chu said and bit his chest.
The two didn't dare to fool around for too long. Lin Chu didn't want to go to the company too late and even Yan Beicheng had a lot of work to do.
Hence, the two of them got up after fooling around for a while. They quickly cleaned up and Yan Beicheng drove them back. Lin Chu felt that taking a car was much better than driving.
It was Yan Ningbai's birthday on Sunday. Lin Chu woke up early and even dragged Yan Beicheng up.
Because he was afraid that he would forget to bring a birthday present, Lin Chu told Yan Beicheng to put the present in the trunk. Yan Beicheng didn't want to move. In the end, Lin Chu kicked him and he reluctantly left with the present.
Lin Chu wanted to go to the orphanage early to help prepare. Yan Ningbai usually played well with his friends in the orphanage. This child was always popular and he was never arrogant. He didn't act like he was from a big family in front of his friends. His friends liked him very much.
Knowing that it was his birthday, the children really wanted to give him a birthday present. But the children didn't have extra money. Lin Chu told them to make a big cake for Yan Ningbai to eat.
The children were very happy when they heard that. Hence, Lin Chu had already decided on the ingredients for the cake.
She had never made a cake before. In the past, she was busy with work and didn't have much money. How could she have the time to make pastries for fun? Hence, after buying the ingredients, she also bought a cookbook. There were all kinds of cakes, biscuits, and bread with detailed instructions.
Lin Chu didn't do anything else that week. She only did experiments. The first time she made a cake, she failed three times. She forced Yan Beicheng to eat them all.
This week, Yan Beicheng's face turned green when he saw the cake. He thought that he had a very good birthday, but the next day, Lin Chu started torturing him.
After much difficulty, Lin Chu finally succeeded in making the cake. It was soft and fluffy, with a moderate amount of sweetness and a nice appearance. Yan Beicheng heaved a sigh of relief.
When he thought about the smell of cake, he felt a little nauseous.
After breakfast, he went out with Lin Chu.
The two elders would be attending Yan Ningbai's birthday as well. They were worried that the children would be too tired, so the birthday was set at noon. They would play for a while in the afternoon so that they could sleep early at night. They still had to go to school the next day.
After talking to Mo Jinxi and the others on the phone last night, they excitedly decorated the dining room and the living room. They used the handicraft materials distributed by the school during their classes. Everyone pooled their money and the old dean also went to buy some.
Although the decorations were crude, it was a rare thought.
Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng arrived very early. As soon as they entered, they saw that the living room was very lively. Yan Ningbai, the birthday boy, had not arrived yet. There were already ribbons pasted on the sofa and coffee table. There were also flowers made of ribbons.
The old dean was carrying a ladder out. When he saw Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu come in, he quickly put the ladder to the side and came over to welcome them.
"Why are you here so early?" the old dean asked with a smile.
"I promised Jinxi and the others to come and make the cake together. It will be more time-consuming, so I came early," Lin Chu said. He looked at the ladder that the old dean had just put to the side. "Also, see if there is anything you need help with. What are you going to do with the ladder?"
"Don't I want to hang these ribbons up?" the old dean said. "They were all made by the little guys."
"Let me do it." Yan Beicheng took off his jacket and unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt. His long fingers pinched the cuffs and rolled them up a few times, revealing his strong and beautiful arms.
The old dean did not stand on ceremony with him. When Yan Beicheng set up the ladder and climbed up, the old dean stood at the bottom and handed him the ribbons and helped him.
The little guys all ran over to Lin Chu.
"Chuchu, did you bring everything to make the cake?" Tian Tian was looking forward to it.
She usually looked forward to eating a big cake on her birthday. It was beautiful and delicious. When she heard that she could make it herself this time, she was so happy last night that she could not fall asleep.
Lin Chu waved the big bags in front of them. "I brought them all."
Mo Jinxi and Stone's eyes lit up. They quickly took the two bags from her hands.
"It's heavy. Let me carry it," Lin Chu said, not letting the two little guys take it.
Stone patted his chest. "We are men! We can carry it! "
Mo Jinxi nodded vigorously. "We exercise every day."
Afraid that Lin Chu would not believe him, he even rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thin and white arms. He used all his strength. "Chuchu, look, I have muscles!"
It was not obvious. It was not even a small hill. At most, it was a small soil embryo.
Lin Chu smiled and put the bags on the ground. "Okay, then you two try."
So, Mo Jinxi and Stone walked to the front of the bags. They each stretched out their hands to carry the bags in front of them. Their hands swayed as they carried the bags to the kitchen.
Lin Chu looked at the two of them and smiled. He followed them until they entered the kitchen. Lin Chu took the bags and put them on the table.
After preparing everything, he began to beat the egg white and mixed the flour and eggs according to the ratio.
Then, he put the cream in the fridge. When the cake was done, he took it out to cool down and began to beat the cream.
Since he made it himself, he definitely would not put food coloring. Lin Chu bought chocolate sauce to decorate it. The cake he made was not as colorful as the ones outside. It was exquisite and beautiful, but it was also more meticulous.
After preparing everything, Lin Chu didn't do anything else. He gave the tools to the kids and asked them to spread the cream on the cake. After all, this was a gift that the kids wanted to give to Yan Ningbai. He couldn't let her do it all by herself.
The little guys watched eagerly from the side and told her, "Chuchu, leave us something to do!"
So, the little guys spread cream on the cake together. Because they liked to eat it, it was very thick. It did not look good, but Lin Chu felt that it was better than those exquisite cakes.
Then, they used the chocolate sauce to write on the cake. When it was Yan Ningbai's turn, they copied the words Lin Chu wrote in advance. Each of them wrote one word, and the three of them wrote Yan Ningbai's name crookedly together.
With the remaining cream, Lin Chu mixed it with fruit to make dessert for them. He put the cake in the fridge to freeze.
At around ten o 'clock, Qi Chengzhi and the others arrived one after another.
Wei Ziqi also brought Wei Muran and Wei Muche. Wei Muche was now two years old and walked unsteadily.
Hearing the door open, Lin Chu turned his head and saw a furry brown bear wobbling in. After a closer look, it turned out to be Wei Muche.
Wei Ran had bought him a teddy bear onesie from somewhere. It was furry and looked like a teddy bear at first glance. It was fat and soft on Wei Muche's body, and there was no need to mention how cute it was. A large hoodie was fastened on his little head, almost covering his entire face. The hoodie was a little bear's face, with two round bear ears sticking up from it.
Seeing him wobble in, the old dean liked him very much. Her smiling eyes never left Wei Muche.
Wei Muche's little round face was still red. Without needing Wei Ran to remind him, he greeted the old dean politely, "Hello, Grandma."
The old dean happily hugged Wei Mu Che and gave him a good kiss for the interview.
Wei Muche then said to Lin Chu, "Hello, Auntie."
When Yan Beicheng brought Lin Chu to meet Qi Chengzhi and the others, he also met Wei Ziqi's family.
However, Wei Muche didn't have a deep impression of him. On the way here, Wei Ran repeatedly told him that if he saw an auntie around his mother's age, she would be Uncle Yan's girlfriend, so he should remember to greet her.
Wei Muran also walked in and sweetly greeted the adults.
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a passionate child's voice, "Mumu!"
He turned his head and saw Qi Youxuan rushing in. Under Wei Ziqi's unfriendly gaze, he grabbed Wei Muran's little hand and completely ignored Wei Ziqi's cold gaze.
