Ru Feng retreated to the counter and whispered to the shop owner, “Sister Su, can our cakes make people cry?”
Sister Su patted her head, “A good cake has emotions, just like people. You’ll learn slowly.”
Ru Feng felt conflicted watching her future sister-in-law cry while eating. Did her second brother make her sad? They seemed fine earlier.
“Little sister,” Autumn Meaning asked, “do you have any cakes that make people feel happy as soon as they eat them?”
Ru Feng was stunned. Sister Su intervened, “Miss, why not try our new berry fruit cake?”
Autumn Meaning shook her head, sighing, “How could there be such a magical cake? I’m just being silly from anger at that man.” She laughed self-deprecatingly, “What a despicable man! Always turning a blind eye to her feelings, maintaining only the minimum politeness.”
Ru Feng wanted to defend her brother but held back.
Seeing Autumn Meaning about to leave, Ru Feng anxiously grabbed her, “Sister, can you come back the day after tomorrow? I’ll recommend a cake that will definitely improve your mood.”
Autumn Meaning turned back, stifling the urge to pinch her rosy cheeks, “Okay, thank you. I’ll come back the day after tomorrow.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
Ru Feng hurriedly agreed to help keep the woman her brother had finally accepted by his side.
Qiu Yi took a few steps, then turned back, “By the way, could you leave me your phone number? In case something happens and I can’t make it, I can call you.”
Ru Feng quickly shook her head, “I…”
“Oh, no need.” Xiao Su interjected, holding up a piece of paper. “Here, Ru Feng’s phone number, which she left with me yesterday.”
“No, I’m about to change my number,” Ru Feng tried to stop her, but the paper was already in Qiu Yi’s hand.
Qiu Yi smiled at Ru Feng, her low mood lifting slightly. Youth had such vivid and lively expressions.
“It’s fine. You can tell me your new number when you change it.” She took the paper and left.
Ru Feng was left feeling petrified, reassuring herself that Qiu Yi wouldn’t discuss something as trivial as a text message or phone number with her brother.
After the guests had left, Xiao Su asked curiously, “Ru Feng, what cake would make someone feel better?”
