You're not planning to open at all, are you?

In the next few days, Qin Xiu, Bai Jiu's deskmate, always chatted with Bai Jiu if he had nothing to do. Even though this new classmate was all focused on his studies, Qin Xiu could always find a starting point for the topic.

Bai Jiu went from ignoring him at the beginning to occasionally answering him a few words later, but it was mostly perfunctory.

But Qin Xiu didn't seem to have this awareness, he insisted on chatting with Bai Jiu.

……

A week later, Ji Jiang and Zhou Chuanyang came.

Zhou Chuanyang came first by car. He bought an oversized cake, which was three-tiered, and brought it all the way from City Z. By the time Bai Jiu's cake was about to fall apart.

Bai Jiu helped him carry it, and the two labored to send the cake upstairs layer by layer.

Bai Jiu was speechless: "You can't buy a smaller one, it's so big that no one will eat it."

Zhou Chuanyang's face was completely blocked by the cake, but his voice was still strong: "No, the cake must be bigger, the bigger the more atmosphere!"

"Are you going to have a party at my house? Let me tell you first, I have no preparations at all, and I don't even have food. My mother went to work today and will come back at night."

When it came to Wu Qiulian's part-time job, Bai Jiu felt a little depressed. The upstairs resident named Mao Zhiping opened a small shop selling milk powder and maternal and child products. He asked Wu Qiulian if he wanted to help, but Wu Qiulian went happily.

Bai Jiu told her that he was rich and didn't need her to work, but Wu Qiulian insisted on doing it, saying that Bai Jiu was still in school, so she couldn't help him too much, at least she couldn't become his burden.

Bai Jiu had no choice but to follow her to the store a few times, and when he found that the business was not busy, he followed Wu Qiulian.

Zhou Chuanyang was a little surprised when he heard his words: "Didn't Ji Jiang tell you? We have booked a restaurant, just the newly opened Japanese restaurant."

"..."

Bai Jiu stopped abruptly, even Zhou Chuanyang was shocked, and almost stopped the car.

"Why did you stop suddenly! The cake is about to fall."

"No..." Bai Jiu was shocked and puzzled, "You don't eat at my house, so why put the cake at home?"

Zhou Chuanyang also suddenly realized something was wrong: "...Eh? That's right! We should put it directly in the restaurant!"

Bai Jiu was silent for two seconds, and then he let go directly: "You carry it down for me, I don't care."

"Ah, don't let go! I can't hold it!" Zhou Chuanyang wailed and hugged the cake, shaking it here and there.

"Carry it yourself!"

……

By the time the two rushed to the hotel again, Ji Jiang had already arrived.

This newly opened Japanese food store is not far from Bai Jiu's home, and the decoration is very beautiful. Bai Jiu passed by here several times, but he consciously avoided it when he saw the prices on the menu.

He complained to Ji Jiang about this once, wondering if Ji Jiang remembered this store because of this.

After entering the door, Bai Jiu found that there was no one in the store, but the whole decoration turned into a birthday party theme, with beautifully shaped balloons and lanterns everywhere, and there was even a huge Christmas tree in the middle of the store, covered with bells And ribbons, and a lot of colorful decorative boxes piled underneath.

He took a closer look, only to see that the boss and the chef were busy preparing dishes in the background, while Ji Jiang was mixing drinks at the front desk.

Bai Jiu slammed the cake on the table with a "boom!" and walked towards Ji Jiang.

Ji Jiang was wearing a black shirt, evenly dotted with light silver floral embroidery, looking casual and luxurious.

His hands are also very beautiful, slender and well-proportioned, and his movements of mixing drinks are so smooth that people can't take their eyes off him.

The moment Bai Jiu saw him, he thought he had seen Ji Jiang's pictorial before.

"Not bad," Bai Jiu walked to the bar, put one arm on the countertop, and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "I'm very skilled in business."

Ji Jiang also laughed, and with the crisp sound of the ice cubes colliding, he pushed the wine glass in front of Bai Jiu: "It's not easy to survive, and I have developed a side business."

After speaking, he added another sentence: "It's not wine, it's a drink."

Bai Jiu looked down, the wine glass was long and thin, and the drink in the glass was based on purple, from light to dark, transitioning into dreamy and beautiful colors layer by layer, like a work of art.

Bai Jiu picked it up and took a sip, then nodded: "Well, it's really good, congratulations, you won't die of hunger."

"Why can't you starve to death?" Zhou Chuanyang walked in panting, holding a big box in his hand.

Bai Jiu looked disgusted: "How many things did you bring here?"

"This is your birthday present!" After Zhou Chuanyang finished speaking, he realized that he had slipped his tongue, and hurriedly blocked it with his body, "It can't be opened now!"

"..." Bai Jiu didn't even bother to roll his eyes, "Okay, don't take it apart, I won't take it apart after today is over."

……

The curtain of the kitchen was lifted, and several people dressed as waiters came over with trays of things, filling the table in front of Bai Jiu and the others.

Bai Jiu took a cursory glance, and was quickly shocked by the ingredients inside:

Sea urchin, abalone, bluefin tuna, golden bream...

Listing any single item here is enough to be listed on the high-end ingredients list. Looking at the clerk's cautious look when serving the plates, Bai Jiu was sure that these were all brought in by air from other places.

Although Zhou Chuanyang didn't know what these were, he also felt that they were very expensive. His expression changed from freshness to surprise at the beginning, and finally turned into a little panic.

He swallowed, and looked at Ji Jiang: "Brother Ji, I take back what I said in the morning."

The corner of Ji Jiang's mouth twitched, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Bai Jiu was a little puzzled: "What did you tell him?"

Zhou Chuanyang had a bitter face: "I said that I would AA with him for the money I spent today, and now I regret it... A can't afford it."

"..."
