Bai Jinyan chuckled and took the umbrella from his hand, "It's not raining very much."

Qiao Huaiyao rolled his eyes and said, "It's not good to be in the rain, it doesn't matter if the rain is heavy or not."

The sun and rain won't stop for a while.

Bai Jinyan wanted to raise his hand to rub his hair as before, but the incubator he was carrying became an obstacle.

He said, "Come on, go back first."

"it is good."

The location of the kitchen is also a large farmhouse courtyard.

Zhao Jiamo divided this place into several parts, and each guest came at a different time, so there was no need to deliberately stagger them, it would be difficult for them to bump into each other.

Standing in the corridor, Zhao Jiamo raised his eyebrows as he watched Qiao Huaiyao and Bai Jinyan drifting away.

He took out his mobile phone and made a call, "Hello? Ask the walkie-talkie about what the other guests who didn't come to the kitchen are doing except for Bai Jinyan's group? It's raining, why don't you bring an umbrella and look for it?"

Whether or not you can find it is another matter. You have to have the heart to find someone.

The opened umbrella is placed on the outer ground, and it can be put away after the rain has dried on it.

As soon as Bai Jinyan entered the room, he smelled a little sweetness, but the smell was very light. If he hadn't come in from the outside, he might not have noticed it.

"Brother, do you want to try this strawberry." Qiao Huaiyao picked up the plate on the table, the cream was dotted with red strawberries, not to mention the taste, it was still very delicate and beautiful on the surface.

Bai Jinyan picked up a piece, "What did you do?"

"Well." Qiao Huaiyao looked at him with bright eyes, waiting for Bai Jinyan's feedback after eating, "How does it taste?"

In fact, this creamy strawberry should be better with more sour strawberries.

The sweetness of the cream can neutralize the sourness of the strawberries and make the original aroma of the strawberries stronger.

But there is no place to find the unsweet ones, and it’s hard to tell if you buy them online.

Just use strawberries straight from the fridge.

Bai Jinyan ate a strawberry, his face did not change, and said lightly: "It tastes good."

After a pause, he praised again: "Exquisite craftsmanship and moderate sweetness."

Qiao Huaiyao was stunned when he heard the words, and then he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

What kind of craftsmanship does it take to make a creamy strawberry?

Just squeeze the whipped cream over the strawberries.

Seeing the seriousness of Bai Jinyan's praise, Qiao Huaiyao smiled and didn't know what to say, but he picked a strawberry to taste.

He made a full plate, and the long plates were placed in two rows. The cream was well whipped, and there was no sign of collapse after so long.

If there is no problem with the taste, when the cake is officially made, the taste of the cream does not need to be adjusted.

The cream that Zhao Jiamo bought from someone was animal cream, and the brand was the more famous animal cream.

Has a light sweet fragrance, not greasy.

Bai Jinyan said: "Eat first, and then eat fruit after eating."

The incubator was placed on the table, and when he opened the outer layer, he said, "These were taught in the live broadcast room in the morning. Try it if it suits your appetite."

Qiao Huaiyao thought that the incubator was the lunch that Zhao Jiamo distributed to each group of guests, but he didn't expect his brother to cook it.

He handed the plate of strawberries to Bai Jinyan, "I'll come."

Five dishes, two meat and two vegetarians, and a soup, not spicy, although it feels a little clear soup, but it still looks very appetizing.

The rice was also steamed and brought back by Bai Jinyan from the kitchen.

That's it... Qiao Huaiyao ate the cake embryos of those experimental recipes, and is still holding on.

Qiao Huaiyao thought for a while and said, "Brother, don't serve me any more meals, I have breakfast late."

He can taste the food.

Bai Jinyan slowly raised half of his eyebrows, "What time do you eat?"

No rice, and a new bowl for soup.

Qiao Huaiyao blinked his eyes lightly, and said after deliberation, "I almost finished eating before I went out to pick you up."

The last piece of baked cake embryo is eaten at this time, and it is considered to have just finished breakfast.

Bai Jinyan raised his hand to reach his cheek, thinking about pinching it, but seeing Qiao Huaiyao looking at him obediently and obediently, he didn't even want to avoid it.

So I didn't rub it hard and lightly said, "Remember to eat earlier next time."

Qiao Huaiyao responded with a sigh, "Yeah."

Bai Jinyan sandwiched a piece of fried pork for him, and said lightly, "Class tomorrow morning..."

Qiao Huaiyao didn't wait for him to finish, and said hurriedly: "The online class is too early, I may not be able to get up, so..."

He paused, and put the ribs in Bai Jinyan's bowl, "I'll ask you to help me in tomorrow's class, okay?"

Tomorrow, he has to prepare surprises in advance, and he can't do without here, which is why he signed up for the two-day live broadcast course.

Bai Jinyan nodded slowly, "Yes."

"Okay." Qiao Huaiyao rolled his eyes and brought him some rapeseed, "Thank you, brother!"

Qiao Huaiyao is almost ready for the previous steps of making the cake.

Just wait until the time of the day arrives, and make the cake before Bai Jinyan comes back.

The next morning, the phone vibrated on the bedside.

'buzz'

'buzz'

...

Qiao Huaiyao woke up early and was flipping through the book for the professional class to take notes.

Hearing the sound, he took the phone without looking at it, glanced at the caller ID on the screen before connecting, and found that it was not his phone.

Qiao Huaiyao didn't answer, got up and went out to find someone.

Seeing Bai Jinyan watering the flowers in the small garden outside, he handed over his mobile phone and said, "Brother, Aunt Meng's phone number."

"Wake you up?" Bai Jinyan turned off the phone vibrate and didn't rush to pick it up.

"No." Qiao Huaiyao woke up early, thinking about what to prepare for today.

Just seeing the content of the notes discussed in the dormitory group in the morning, he trimmed his handwriting and did not come out.

Qiao Huaiyao took the water pipe and said, "Brother, let me get it. You go and answer the phone first."

"It's almost there." Bai Jinyan avoided his hand, put the water pipe back into the sink, and turned on the faucet, "Come in, I'll go directly to the kitchen."

It was almost time for the online class, Bai Jinyan answered the phone and went out.

Seeing this, Qiao Huaiyao also went back and started preparing for his surprise today.

Zhao Jiamo helped move the things that Qiao Huaiyao bought. When he came, he found him whipping cream. He couldn't help but smile and said, "You prepared a good dinner, and the cakes are all on it. Are you celebrating your birthday?"

Qiao Huaiyao shook his head and said, "My brother's birthday."

"Ah?" Zhao Jiamo was stunned and said in his heart, I still don't know when Bai Jinyan's birthday is, so do Weibo fans.

A few days before Bai Jinyan's birthday, Weibo will start to warm up, and it will be opened to celebrate his birthday on the same day.

But now there is no letter.

Zhao Jiamo hesitated: "Did you remember it wrong?"

Although it seems unlikely that this is possible, it is not impossible.

"No." Qiao Huaiyao said lightly: "If you have a birthday in the solar calendar, the one on Weibo should be the lunar calendar."

Zhao Jiamo's face is full of confusion, is there such a statement?

As far as he knows about Bai Jinyan, Bai Jinyan is a person who has no concept of birthdays, nor does he care about the sense of ceremony, whether to eat cakes or not to make wishes.

When came to Qiao Huaiyao, it sounded like the lunar and solar calendars passed.

Qiao Huaiyao explained: "Because of family reasons, there will be a lot of people on my brother's birthday, and there will be relatives even if there is no birthday party."

Compared with birthday celebrations, it is more about liaison.

"On the birthday of the Gregorian calendar, this kind of banquet will not be held."

On his birthday on the solar calendar, Bai Jinyan spent it all with him.

No matter how busy his brother was in the past, he would come back.

Qiao Huaiyao didn't say anything after that. Zhao Jiamo could vaguely understand something from his observations in the past few days.

He nodded and didn't ask any further, "Here are the roses and petals you asked for. I've got everything that can be bought around here. See if there are enough."

There are many roses, and I am afraid of bumping.

Zhao Jiamo pushed over two large boxes,

This is more stable than holding a box.

Qiao Huaiyao didn't use much, "Enough, thank you."

"Why are you thinking of using roses? I think there are quite a few flowers that are suitable for setting up the scene. There are even flower baskets on the table. If there are no roses in them, I won't get them for you."

When it comes to roses, all Zhao Jiamo can think of is love, and this flower has become a symbol of love.

He thought for a while, and suddenly opened his eyes, "You don't mean to..."

Qiao Huaiyao's face heated up, "No..."

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, he thought about it and said, "The rose is because of my school stage before, when my brother gave me a bouquet of roses."

"Oh, that's it." Zhao Jiamo's spirit and energy were a little dissipated when he didn't eat the melon.

boring.

"That's fine, you'll be busy first." When he turned around, Zhao Jiamo didn't know what to think, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll go to the kitchen in a while, if your brother comes back, I'll tell you in advance, remember to check your phone If you're not ready, tell me in time so I can help you stop him."

After that, Zhao Jiamo left happily.

Qiao Huaiyao's cake has entered the oven, and the cream is ready.

The cream mixed with strawberry juice is not easy to whip. After it is whipped, it avoids collapsing, and it is frozen first in the refrigerator.

This will make it easier to apply.

The strawberry juice was added less, but it was slightly colored, not red, but a little pink.

The strawberries are cut into thin slices, and they will look better when they are attached.

The ingredients were placed on the table in order, and Qiao Huaiyao checked it and took out the cake after confirming that there were no omissions.

Qiao Huaiyao didn't put jam, and Bai Jinyan didn't eat it.

A layer of strawberry fruit is also placed on the cake that is cut horizontally.

It looks easy to make a cake, but it's actually hard to spread the cream evenly on a fluffy cake.

When almost finished, finally use tweezers to hold the thin slices of strawberries and slowly place them on the cake.

Qiao Huaiyao took a half step back, looking fine.

The cake was put in the refrigerator to take shape, and Qiao Huaiyao turned around to remove the roses.

The vases in the house, the paintings, and the roses that are properly cut are placed in these places, and the remaining half of the box of petals falls directly on the ground.

The house is full of roses.

Qiao Huaiyao looked at the rose in his hand, pulled off a few petals, washed it, wiped off the remaining water, and lightly placed it on the cake for decoration.

In the pitch-black live broadcast room, a picture appeared after a few flashes.

The barrage suddenly started: "Wife Tie Tie!"

"Wife... What's the situation when I knock? I read it right, is it a rose? It's a rose!"

"It's raining all over the sky, isn't it after confession?! Ahhhh! Dog show, what did you make me miss when you start the live broadcast from time to time?!"

"Uuuuu, did you doi? You told me that you did it all night."

"Calm down, see that the flower hasn't been stepped on, and Bai Jinyan isn't there either. It must be before the confession. I'll go over and shout, and let the sisters come to celebrate the festival."

...

Analyze the time when Bai Jinyan's live broadcast ends.

Qiao Huaiyao took out the cake.

Aside from the tableware and the small plates for cakes, there was only the bunch of roses standing in the flowerpot.

The director gave candles to each group of guests.

Maybe the original intention was to think of candlelight dinner, and the warm light would make the scene more warm.

Qiao Huaiyao put these on the candlestick, and placed small round candles on the scattered candlesticks, which did not need to be lit, and looked like a delicate decoration.

The phone on the table lights up.

The news of Zhao Jiamo appeared on it: [Bai Jinyan went back, I just went to see other guests in the group, and one of them disappeared without paying attention. Are you okay? I'm going out to find him now. 】

Qiao Huaiyao: [I am ready here. 】

Zhao Jiamo glanced at the text message as he walked, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, "That's okay. 】

After a pause, he typed again: [The camera will automatically turn off an hour after dinner starts. 】

This is a kind reminder.

Shooting warm scenes is important, but one hour is enough.

The rest is left to the guests themselves.

The kind of feeling that exudes to the family from the inside out is the most poignant.

Under the camera, it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable.

Qiao Huaiyao replied, put down the phone, got up and closed all the doors and windows in the house, along with the curtains.

Light only the few candles on the table.

The heavy curtains blocked most of the sunlight, and no light could be seen through the cracks of the door.

But after all, it is daytime, and the light cannot be completely blocked.

Qiao Huaiyao sat at the table, and most of his body was hidden in the darkness.

The prepared gift is placed on the chair at hand, and he can reach it at any time.

If there is no opportunity arranged by the director team, he will also celebrate Bai Jinyan's birthday this time.

Maybe at that time, he would think more about how not to be discovered by Bai Jinyan.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a key opening the door rang out.

Bai Jinyan walked in and asked, "Why are the curtains drawn?"

When came from the outside, realized that it was wrong. passed through several windows, and the windows were all closed.

Saying that, Bai Jinyan raised his head and found that the room was a little dark.

There was something vaguely spread on the ground, and there was a scent of roses.

He frowned, "Huai Yao?"

Qiao Huaiyao got up and walked to Bai Jinyan's side, with one hand behind him, "Brother."

"Huh?" Bai Jinyan didn't turn on the light because he felt that Qiao Huaiyao had his reasons for everything he did.

Qiao Huaiyao chuckled softly, reached out and smeared the cream on his cheek.

I deliberately prepared more when whipping the cream, just for this.

Bai Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and when he noticed that something was on his cheek, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Huaiyao with leisure.

Seeing this, Qiao Huaiyao coughed lightly, and he explained with a smile: "This is a blessing, that is, um, a kind of..."

Aware that Bai Jinyan's sight was dangerous, he immediately turned around and ran.

Qiao Huaiyao ran into the restaurant and took a half step directly to the right of the door.

Bai Jinyan followed in, and at a glance, he saw the cake with candles on the table and the rose flower that was vaguely showing its original appearance.

Qiao Huaiyao raised his hand and turned on the main switch for the whole house. He was holding a bouquet of roses, just like the one Bo Jinyan gave him before.

With the corner of his mouth slightly raised, he handed the rose and said, "Brother, happy birthday."

The stunned look in Bai Jinyan's eyes turned into a small smile at this moment, "You..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he laughed and said, "It seems that the class was originally registered for me?"

Qiao Huaiyao coughed lightly, and his eyes couldn't help but wander, "Surprise, if you find out before it happens, it won't be a surprise."

Bai Jinyan took the bouquet of roses, raised his hand and rubbed his hair, "Thank you."

"Wipe the cream on your face, and let's make a wish and blow the candles." Qiao Huaiyao took his hand and brought him to the table. The candles on the strawberry cake were burning slowly.

Not long after it was lit, no wax oil dripped.

Looking at the strawberries above, Bai Jinyan couldn't help thinking of the plate of creamy strawberries that Qiao Huaiyao made before.

He also understood what was going on at the moment, "The cake is good, the professional pastry chefs who have studied at Le Cordon Bleu in France can't make such a perfect cake."

Qiao Huaiyao smiled, and the corners of his slightly raised mouth became more and more obvious. He said angrily, "Brother!"

Seeing that his face was a little red, Bai Jinyan stopped teasing him.

Qiao Huaiyao pushed the cake towards Bai Jinyan, "Let's make a wish."

Bai Jinyan closed his eyes when he heard the words.

The habit of making a wish on a birthday was left over from when was with Qiao Huaiyao before.

If it were him, he might find it boring.

But Qiao Huaiyao sat opposite him, and making a wish became very important.

His wish was one thing when he was a child, but when he grew up, he became persistently another.

Qiao Huaiyao blinked his eyes slowly, his eyes always falling on the opposite Bo Jinyan.

The aroma of cake and roses intertwined, making his heart beat faster for no reason.

After Bai Jinyan made a wish, opened his eyes and blew out the candle, Qiao Huaiyao concealed his nervousness without a trace, and took the box beside him.

Qiao Huaiyao said softly, "birthday gift."

The box is sealed with fine wrapping paper, and the inside can't be seen.

Bai Jinyan opened the box, and the precious necklace that Qiao Huaiyao was close to was quietly placed in the box.

Before he could speak, Qiao Huaiyao got up first and took the necklace.

He walked around behind Bai Jinyan, helped him put it on with his own hands, and said with a smile, "It's very suitable."

In addition to the necklace itself, the meaning given to it by the elders in the family is the reason why Qiao Huaiyao wants to give this necklace to Bai Jinyan.

Qiao Huaiyao looked down at the necklace, with a nostalgic smile in his eyes, and said lightly, "After forty-three minutes, I will tell you a secret."

When the recording is over, I'll tell you the secret.

"Huh?" Bai Jinyan looked up and met Qiao Huaiyao.

Qiao Huaiyao knew what he wanted to ask, but didn't say it directly.

He put away the box and changed the subject without a trace, "Let's cut the cake first, it looks okay, but I don't know how it tastes."

Bai Jinyan said without changing his face: "I still trust your craftsmanship."

Qiao Huaiyao couldn't hold back a chuckle, "If you say that, you'll have to eat it all in a while, or you'll question my craftsmanship."

The cake was cut into small pieces, and Bai Jinyan handed it to Qiao Huaiyao first, and the second was his own.

Not so heavy cream, with the fluffy cake base, the fruity taste of strawberry prevails.

Qiao Huaiyao also took a bite, but he ate a little too much when he made it, and he couldn't notice anything when he ate it together.

He tentatively asked, "How is it? Does it feel too sweet?"

"No, it's just right." Whatever Bai Jinyan did to Qiao Huaiyao was an encouragement, whether it was good or particularly good, it was all praise.

What's more, this cake is really in line with his taste.

Qiao Huaiyao rolled his eyes, wondering if his brother was simply complimenting him, or if the cake tasted really good.

Either way, it can make him feel happy.

The light outside under the curtains is neutralized by the light inside.

Now the time is much earlier according to the director's arrangement, but the atmosphere at night is created.

When the show is broadcast, it will not deliberately emphasize the time, just think it is on time.

The cake is about six inches in size, enough for two people.

Qiao Huaiyao didn't prepare wine, only poured two glasses of juice.

Bai Jinyan put down his chopsticks and said casually, "What's the secret you just said?"

"Huh?" Qiao Huaiyao's heart tightened, and there was a hint of warmth behind his ears. He didn't say the answer directly, but looked at the wall clock subconsciously, "It's not time yet."

Knowing that it was not time yet, Qiao Huaiyao inadvertently breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "There are still three points..."

The voice stopped abruptly, Bai Jinyan's mobile phone screen displayed a message, and a vibrating prompt sound interrupted his words.

Bai Jinyan frowned after just glanced at the caller ID, and got up after the call.

Meng Zheng's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Is Qiao Qiao by your side?"

The voice was not low, and Qiao Huaiyao also heard it, and his hand holding the chopsticks paused.

Bai Jinyan said lightly, "No."

Qiao Huaiyao raised his eyebrows in surprise. Although he didn't know why Bai Jinyan was hiding it, he still kept quiet and didn't speak.

Meng Zheng snorted, obviously not believing Bai Jinyan's explanation, "Don't lie to me, Zhao Jiamo told me that someone will celebrate your birthday today."

She had a big chest and said, "Apart from Qiao Qiao, when did you let others spend your birthday with you?"

The words have already been said.

There's no point in messing with it any longer.

Qiao Huaiyao and Bai Jinyan looked at each other and said, "Aunt Meng."

"Hey!" Meng Zheng replied, "You kid, why didn't you tell your auntie when school started? Your parents don't have time to send you. Auntie is worried about you."

"The island is a big place, and the signal coverage is not comprehensive." Meng Zheng mentioned the incident of the day, his tone was a bit serious, "I deliberately searched for a long time that day, and finally found a place to call you, but I called. There is no answer for the time being, please call again later."

Meng Zheng sighed and said, "I thought something was wrong."

No one heard……?

Qiao Huaiyao didn't know how the voicemails were divided, so he said, "It may be that the school's signal is not good."

Meng Zheng also felt that there was a possibility. In addition, the signal on the island was not good, so the call could not be made.

She said: "Maybe, later I found out that on the day of the Qing military training, my aunt also called you a lot-"

"Mom." Bai Jinyan said lightly: "You called to say this?"

"What can I say? What else can I say?" Meng Zheng spoke to Bai Jinyan in a very aggressive tone, not as gentle as when he spoke to Qiao Huaiyao, "I just know that you brought Qiao Qiao on the show, I'll come here. Ask about the situation."

"Oh."

"Tsk, I'm angry when I hear you, and hang up." Before hanging up the phone, Meng Zhengfang said softly, "Qiao Qiao is free to come to Auntie's island to play."

Qiao Huaiyao said with an "um", "I know Auntie."

Not knowing if Meng Zheng heard this, Bai Jinyan hung up the phone.

The voice of the phone disappeared, and the room suddenly fell silent.

"She's been staring at that island lately, and she'll take it with her when she sees someone. Don't bother." Bai Jinyan poured him a glass of strawberry juice, "Go and sit on the sofa to take a break."

Qiao Huaiyao got up but didn't leave, but said, "I'll help you."

"No, that's all." Bai Jinyan picked up the dishes and put them in the dishwasher, "Go ahead."

Qiao Huaiyao helped collect two dishes and left.

He sat on the sofa and took a few sips of juice, and found it a little strange, always feeling that something was wrong.

Quietly raised his eyes to look at Bai Jinyan, he saw that he was packing the unfinished cake in a crisper.

His face was calm and he couldn't see anything.

But listening to what Aunt Meng said, it seemed that she had called him a lot.

It shouldn't be that he can't get in when he answers the phone... He doesn't have such an intensive phone chat.

He hesitated to open the communication and input Meng Zheng's mobile phone number.

But it shows that there is no such person.

Qiao Huaiyao remembered that he had saved Aunt Meng's contact information.

He opened the dial pad again and entered the string of numbers, but he had the previous call record.

Just after the number, it is marked in small words: This number has been blacklisted by you.
