After confirming that Yun Miao really didn't need help, Pei Yuze left to take care of his own affairs.

Yun Miao continued to bake cakes in the baking room at the back. Yun Miao was carefully observing the condition of the cake base in the oven and ignored the movement in front.

Ring...Ring...Ring

Accompanied by the ring of the doorbell, a tall and handsome man pushed open the door of the cafe.

"Hello, is anyone here?" Gu Yanqiu pushed open the door of the coffee shop and walked in and asked. Seeing that there was no one there, he was about to leave when he suddenly smelled a sweet smell coming from behind. After hesitating for a moment, he walked inside.

When he saw the girl making the cake, Gu Yanqiu's usually cold eyes flashed with surprise. The girl's beautiful face was full of seriousness. At this moment, she was concentrating and staring at the cake in front of her, her hands moving non-stop. Looking at the girl working seriously, Gu Yanqiu's heart seemed to beat violently as if it was out of control. This feeling was very unfamiliar. At least in more than 20 years, it was the first time that he could feel such a violent emotional fluctuation just by looking at a girl. In addition to his heartbeat, he also felt that the girl in front of him seemed to have been seen somewhere before, and there was a hint of familiarity.

This feeling was unfamiliar to him, but he could not deny the joy in his heart. However, when he saw the girl's face was obviously much younger than his, the always confident Gu Yanqiu hesitated. Just as Gu Yanqiu's mind was churning, Yunmiao's rare guest had already finished the final work.

"Concentrate, hold your breath, it's just the last bit, be careful, it will be done soon." Yun Miao kept encouraging herself in her heart. After a while, a beautifully made cake was born in her hands.

Looking at the finished cake, Yun Miao finally felt relieved. Fortunately, there was no problem. Now there was only one last step left - packing.

Thinking of this, Yun Miao turned around and prepared to get the cake box and ribbon from the storage cabinet in front. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she saw a man standing at the door staring at her.

"Ah!!!" Yun Miao was startled and screamed, preparing to hide backwards, but she lost her balance and slipped and fell to the side. "It's over, I hope I don't fall too hard later, otherwise my parents will worry again." This was the last thought before she fell, and then she silently waited for the pain to come.

But the expected pain did not come. Yun Miao opened her eyes in confusion and saw a handsome face close to her. She also felt a warm sensation on her waist. It turned out that she was being embraced by the man in front of her, and his other hand was protecting her head.

Yun Miao realized that their posture was too intimate and struggled for a moment in embarrassment. Then the man seemed to have just reacted, and after straightening Yun Miao, he quickly let go of his hand.

After making sure Yun Miao was standing firmly, Gu Yanqiu quickly withdrew his hand and explained: "I'm sorry, I asked if anyone was there before, and I came over to take a look because I smelled something very tempting. I didn't expect to scare you, I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, I was careless. Thanks to you, otherwise I would have fallen." Yun Miao said comfortingly, knowing that the man had no ill intentions and seeing the sincerity in his eyes. After thinking for a while, Yun Miao continued to ask, "What's the matter with you coming in? We are closed today!"

"Well, I saw the sign on the door. It's just that my grandma is leaving today, and she wants to eat your cake, otherwise she would refuse to leave. So I came here rashly, wanting to try my luck, but I didn't expect to scare you." Gu Yanqiu said a little embarrassedly. When he talked about his grandma, his words were full of helplessness. It seemed that he couldn't resist and had to come out.

"Oh! That's really unfortunate, because my mother usually bakes the cakes, but she can't come today. So, I'm sorry I can't help you." Yun Miao said with some regret after hearing this.

"It's okay. I'm embarrassed. I came in without warning and scared you. It's okay. I'll go back and explain to grandma. Originally, grandma had to eat less cake due to health reasons. This time she was clamoring to eat cake mainly because she didn't want to go for a check-up." Thinking of grandma's look that said, "If I don't eat cake, I won't leave," Gu Yanqiu felt a headache.

"If you don't mind, can I help you make one? Of course, I have to state first that my skills are not as good as my mother's, so you can decide if you want to." Hearing Gu Yanqiu's words and seeing the embarrassment and helplessness in his eyes, Yun Miao tentatively suggested. The success of the birthday cake just now gave her great confidence, and she was now full of confidence that she could definitely make a small cake.

"Really? Thank you so much." Hearing Yun Miao's willingness to help, Gu Yanqiu said quickly. At this moment, he just wanted to take the cake back to coax his grandmother so that she could go to City A with him for the checkup. Grandma was old and didn't want to stay with them in City A, which made them very worried. This time, they planned to take the excuse of taking her for the checkup to convince the old lady to stay in City A. In order to make the plan go smoothly, they specially asked Gu Yanqiu, the grandson that the old lady liked the most, to come.

Yun Miao started to prepare the cake again, and Gu Yanqiu was helping. While the cake was baking, Yun Miao turned around and looked at the man who was carefully cleaning the chopping board. She was a little hesitant about whether to ask. She had recognized the man in front of her as the one she saw in the store last night, the one who made her feel very familiar. She didn't expect to see him again today.

At this moment, looking closely at the man in front of her, a faint sense of familiarity came over her. But she felt embarrassed to ask others if they had met before, as if she was deliberately trying to strike up a conversation, so Yun Miao hesitated whether to speak or not.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Because of his work, Gu Yanqiu, who was very sensitive to sight, felt it in an instant. Yun Miao kept looking at him. Seeing Yun Miao's hesitant look, Gu Yanqiu took the lead in breaking the silence and asked.

"Well, have we met before? I think you look very familiar. Well, I didn't mean to strike up a conversation, I really thought we knew each other, so I wanted to ask you. I didn't want to say it at first, but you asked me, so I told you." When she said the latter, worried that the man would not believe her, and also because she was really embarrassed, Yun Miao explained incoherently.
