Chapter 72 The Cake That Caused Trouble
Chapter 72 The Cake That Caused Trouble
The network tug-of-war is coming to an end.
The situation on the surface is that the material to smear Shen Ruochuan would not stand up to scrutiny in the first place, and with the fact that Lu Li, the "Crazy Lover of Chuan", has gained a lot of fans, the reputation of the two is going well, and the Heizi navy can no longer make any noise. Big wind and waves, so calm down day by day.
In fact, the key to success lies outside the entertainment industry.
Uncle Gen traded the market, sold Ning's stock short, and sniped Ning Li fiercely in the capital market. Ning's suffered heavy losses and his vitality was severely injured.
In addition, several film and television companies that had been bought madly in order to retaliate against Lu Li were completely defeated by Chujian Media in this online battle, and became negative equity overnight, which made the parent company Ning's situation even worse.
Ning Li was forced into a corner, completely insane.
Lu Li was like a wild crane, accompanying Shen Ruochuan to film movies, variety shows, and commercials. In fact, he had already taken strict precautions in secret, and Shen Ruochuan was protected like an iron bucket without knowing it.
August [-]th, Lu Li's birthday.
The heat at the end of summer covered the sky and the sun, and the cicadas on the trees began to sing since dawn, which disturbed Shen Ruochuan so much that he simply got up early.
When Lu Li went downstairs after taking a shower, he saw Shen Ruochuan busy in the kitchen, unfamiliar and clumsy, full of warm smoke, very cute.
"Ah!" Lu Li was admiring Mrs. Lu's thin back, but Shen Ruochuan suddenly called out.
Burned by the oven.
Shen Ruochuan was pouting and blowing on his poor fingers, when suddenly a strong arm grabbed his wrist and rinsed it under cool water, the burning, red and swollen skin was instantly soothed, and the pain was gone.
"You're up, happy birthday, okay?" Shen Ruochuan turned his head and gave Lu Li a heart-warming smile, which was as bright as sunflowers under the blue sky in autumn.
Seeing his smile, Lu Li's heart trembled, his hands trembled, and cold water rushed onto his arms.
"Ah, it's so cold." Shen Ruochuan instinctively withdrew his hands back.
Lu Li came back to his senses, turned off the faucet, put Shen Ruochuan's burned finger in his mouth, and licked it a few times: "Does it still hurt?"
Shen Ruochuan was so itchy that he "giggled" and laughed non-stop.
"What delicious food are you making?" Lu Li looked around the messy kitchen.
There was a lot of white powder left on the stone platform, egg shells were scattered on the cutting board, and the eggbeater was pitifully thrown in the sink. Shen Ruochuan was full of the smell of butter and icing sugar, which made people want to taste it.
"I'm baking a cake!" Shen Ruochuan picked up his phone and played the food tutorial he was watching. "There are various cake recipes here. I can't overestimate my strength, so I chose a simple one."
Lu Li rubbed Shen Ruochuan's furry chestnut hair with his chin, and said with a smile, "I'll help you no matter what step you've made."
"I don't want your help." Shen Ruochuan pulled Lu Li and turned around, then pushed him to the dining table, you just wait to eat.
Lu Li couldn't resist him, so he pulled out a high chair and sat on it, craned his neck anxiously to watch him busy.
"You need oven mitts to get the cake out, and the mitts are in the first drawer."
"Take out the shelf first, hey! Be careful, that shelf is very hot!"
Lu Li watched Shen Ruochuan cooking, his heart was broken, his whole body was nervous, and he was sweating.
"Quack, how do you get this cream on the cake?" Shen Ruochuan was in trouble, "I don't have any tools!"
Lu Li was finally able to do it himself, and he was relieved.
Shen Ruochuan stood at a loss in the kitchen, holding a pot of whipped cream, helpless.
Lu Li walked over to take a look. His whipped cream was too thin, it would definitely run down on the cake and it wouldn't hold its shape.
The cake was baked very well, golden and soft, and it seemed that it hadn't left for a second, and it was staring at it.
Shen Ruochuan watched the tutorial video, and then looked at his cream, as if he realized the problem, pouted his mouth, a little frustrated.
"Can I only eat cake dipped in cream? I'm so stupid, I made it into a honey steamed bun..."
Mrs. Lu is upset, she has to coax her quickly!
Lu Li had a flash of inspiration and had an idea: "Let's make a 'reverse cream cake'."
Um?Shen Ruochuan didn't understand, what is "reverse cream cake"?
Lu Li dug a hole in the center of the heart-shaped cake that Shen Ruochuan had baked, and filled it with cream. Others' cakes always have the dough inside and the cream on the outside. Shen Ruochuan's is just the opposite.
Lu Li smoothed the cream, and placed a few bright red cherries from the refrigerator on top, and the cake's appearance improved.
Put the remaining cream into a fresh-keeping bag, tie the bag tightly, and cut a small opening at the front end to make a simple "mounting device".
Lu Li handed the "Flower Mounting Vessel" to Shen Ruochuan's hand: "What kind of pattern do you want to draw, let's draw together." As he spoke, he wrapped Shen Ruochuan's hand completely in it with his slender and powerful hands.
The posture of the two of them is exactly the same as when they were playing with clay in the classic movie "The Love of Ghosts".
Shen Ruochuan was still concentrating on thinking about what flowers to draw, but Lu Li sang "Oh, my love, my darling, I've hungered for your touch along lonely time..."
This lyrics is really suitable for Lu Li, it is tailor-made for him and Shen Ruochuan. When he sings it with his deep voice, it sounds like the quiet and distant bell ringing at midnight, which is very pleasant to hear.
A shocking numbness climbed up Shen Ruochuan's spine inch by inch, his whole body was hot and soft, and the hand holding the mounting utensil trembled.
Lu Li bit Shen Ruochuan's red ear, and carried him away.
When the two got up from the sofa in a state of fascination and continued to make cakes, Shen Ruochuan almost burst into laughter: "I can't see the cake in the future, every time it appears, something will happen!"
The cake is painted with cute stars and moons, a golden base, milky white lines, bright red cherries, and two candles stuck on it.
Lu Li happily hugged the love cake that Shen Ruochuan personally made for him, and pulled Shen Ruochuan to take a photo with him.
They wore necklaces of the same style around their necks, and Shen Ruochuan hung the custom-made DR rings on the chain, one for each of them, showing it off.
Shen Ruochuan also gave Lu Li a new wallet, which contained photos of the two of them, sticking together like Siamese twins.
Lu Li naturally put the contents of the old wallet into the new one, and Shen Ruochuan saw the boy who was treasured by Lu Li in the wallet again.
He inexplicably felt a little sorry: "Quack, I didn't intend to replace him, I..." Shen Ruochuan looked at the old wallet being put aside, and suddenly felt that his behavior was very inappropriate.
Lu Li was very calm: "I understand." Lu Li stroked the old photocopy with his fingertips, "He has been with me long enough, and I will let you accompany me in the future."
Shen Ruochuan's nose was sore, but he tried to smile: "He's really pretty."
Lu Li put away the old wallet, clasped Shen Ruochuan's fingers and pulled him closer: "Sister-in-law Lu looks better."
Shen Ruochuan pursed his lips in embarrassment, wondering if it was because he ate a cherry just now, his lips were so delicate, Lu Li's eyes fell on them, and he was about to ignite again.
No way, the whole room is getting agitated, and I need to find something to divert my attention.
"Quack, whatever you want to do today, I will accompany you."
In order to celebrate Lu Li's birthday, Shen Ruochuan specially adjusted his one day off every week. This is Gaga's first birthday since they were together, so he must spend it well.
Lu Li stuck his finger between Shen Ruochuan's and fondled it affectionately: "There is really one thing I want to do for a long time."
Shen Ruochuan sat on Lu Li's lap and asked, "What's the matter? We'll arrange it right away!"
Lu Li held his hands and looked Shen Ruochuan squarely in the eyes: "Ruochuan, I want... to accompany you to visit your mother."
Shen Ruochuan's fingers twitched suddenly, his eyes began to flicker, his expression dimmed, he bit his lips, and did not speak.
Lu Li pulled him into his arms and put his hands on his waist: "Last time when you celebrated your birthday, you said you wanted to go back to see your mother, but I took you to Yunnan. You make up."
Shen Ruochuan lowered his head, and after a while, he buzzed like a mosquito: "Isn't today your birthday? Your wish should be granted..."
Lu Li's hand caressed Shen Ruochuan's thin waist, the palm was very hot, just like his heart now.
He slowly approached Shen Ruochuan, touching his foreheads: "What if I say that my wish is to see my mother-in-law? Don't you want to take me to show her?"
Shen Ruochuan's mood was a bit complicated.
He sometimes misses his mother very much, especially when he is lonely and vulnerable, the kind of yearning that comes from blood instinct will grow like wild grass after the spring rain.
But he didn't want to see her, he didn't want to face her now, as if staying away could keep his mother's appearance in his memory.
Shen Ruochuan began to pick his fingers.
Lu Li had noticed his small movements a long time ago, which meant that he was experiencing anxiety.
Lu Li didn't urge him, and quietly wrapped his arms around his waist, waiting for his answer.
"I..." Shen Ruochuan raised his head, hesitant to speak.
His hair is a little long, hanging between his eyebrows, very soft and very smooth.
Lu Li stretched out his fingers, and gently brushed his forehead hair, revealing his full forehead, and imprinted a warm kiss on it.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, she should miss you too." Lu Li's voice was so peaceful, like a cool breeze in the hot weather, it was easy to blow into his heart, "Go and see you, don't be like me, I lost my mother a lot Years ago, I can’t even remember what she looked like.”
Shen Ruochuan had never heard Lu Li talk about his parents, and what he revealed now seems to be a sad thing, hey!I was going to have a happy birthday, what are you doing?Is it worse?
Shen Ruochuan squeezed out a smile: "Quack, my mother's situation is a bit special, she can't recognize people now, but if you say you want to go and see, let's go, it just so happens that I haven't seen her for a long time."
