Chapter 274: Chapter 274 - My Most Beloved
TV dramas’ plots were set in specific areas . Every country had its slums .
Having the slums didn’t mean that the entire country was this poor .
“En, I have to see everything for myself before making any conclusions from now on . ” Yun Xiangxiang learned about this value this time .
The night breeze was gentle and calm . It was relaxing, just like a mother’s hands . Yun Xiangxiang leaned against Song Mian’s shoulder . Perhaps the light was too dazzling, or perhaps a day’s worth of fatigue was finally getting to her .
Yun Xiangxiang fell asleep unknowingly . Song Mian picked her up before putting her in the car and driving home .
When they got home, Song Mian wiped her legs and arms with a warm towel, taking care not to wake her up . When Yun Xiangxiang woke up the next day at around ten in the morning .
Today was Song Mian’s birthday .
When Yun Xiangxiang sat up from the bed and saw the time, she rubbed her head in frustration and immediately bathed before getting dressing .
When she went down, Song Mian was still typing into the laptop in the rest area . When he heard her footsteps, he got up and went to make breakfast .
Yun Xiangxiang ran forward and hugged him before kissing him on the lips, “Happy birthday, my love . ”
Her “my love” pleased Song Mian . He responded to her kiss .
“Ah Mian, can you teach me how to make a cake today?” Yun Xiangxiang rested her chin on her hand after she was done eating .
Since she was tired from yesterday’s trip, Song Mian wouldn’t take her out again today . Not to mention it was his birthday .
But they had to do something . When she thought about making a birthday cake with Song Mian, Yun Xiangxiang became particularly excited .
Song Mian made a call . Before long, Song Yao brought some men and sent them a bunch of ingredients . The house was installed with different kinds of ovens .
As she looked at Song Yao, who brushed against her, Yun Xiangxiang suddenly said, “The young master says a sentence, and Song Yao’s life becomes horrendous . ”
Song Yao felt an inexplicable stab on his heart . He looked at Yun Xiangxiang annoyedly before leaving .
The young master wouldn’t torture him like this, much . The young madam was the source of his misfortune . Yet she could still laugh at him . How cruel that was .
“Do you like to bully him?” Song Mian heard what she said .
“I just think it’s fun to tease him,” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know why she had this wicked interest .
“Oh,” Song Mian replied calmly before turning around to prepare the cake . “What kind of shape do you want?”
“What do you think?” Yun Xiangxiang asked .
“Is cloud shape good?” Song Mian looked at her .
“Is it easy to do?” The most common ones were usually circles, squares, and hearts . Yun Xiangxiang seldom saw any other shapes .
“It is,” Song Mian started doing it after he replied to her .
As he made it, he detailed everything to Yun Xiangxiang, from the ingredients to how to make sure the cake was soft and delicious .
Yun Xiangxiang was handing him the ingredients . Song Mian was the one making it . When the base was being baked, Song Mian started whipping the cream .
For this job, Song Mian instructed Yun Xiangxiang as she did it . When the cream was whipped, Yun Xiangxiang noticed its aroma .
She couldn’t help but taste it a bit, “En, it’s delicious!”
As she looked at Song Mian’s loving smile, she wanted to prank him . She took a bit of the cream and smeared it on Song Mian’s face .
With how agile Song Mian was, Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t succeed in her prank . But Song Mian let her . He would sacrifice his face to make her happy .
He didn’t get angry when he got smeared . He smeared her back . The couple started acting like three-year-olds . They chased each other with cream on their hands .
Of course, that bowl of cream wasn’t used . Song Mian made another one for the cake .
The cake was simple . A cloud-shaped cake was covered in white cream . Its edges were carved with thin lines .
It was crowned with golden sugar . The cake had a simple beauty . Yun Xiangxiang posted it on her Moments after she snapped some photos .
She captioned it with, “I took part in making this . Lovely, right?”
Many people played along . Yun Lin commented: [Elder sister, my birthday is almost here . You know what you have to do . {}]
Yun Zhibin commented too . [My daughter has never made a cake for me before! {}]
Li Xiangling replied: [We’ve been friends for so many years . Make a birthday cake for me . You can choose the time {}]
She had to do so many cakes all of a sudden . Yun Xiangxiang gave them the same reply: [Oops . Guess it’s a fail . I didn’t make this cake . ]
It would spell trouble if she had to make the cakes . It was easy to make the shape, not the flavor .
She didn’t want to learn how . She had Song Mian for that . No way was she wasting her time on this .
Nighttime . Song Mian made the complementary steak, as they were in a foreign country . They had dinner in the rest area outside the house .
It was a candlelight dinner . There was red wine, a cake, steaks, a sky of stars, the soothing night breeze, and the shimmering pool .
“This red wine is good!” Thanks to the ice, but Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t going to admit that .
She knew nothing about red wine . She was a tasteless brute . But adding ice to red wine made it a splendid drink .
“They are the world’s biggest producers of grapes,” Song Mian explained . He didn’t think Yun Xiangxiang only liked the drink because it was cold .
“Isn’t that France?” France was famous for its grape wine . Vineyards were everywhere . Yun Xiangxiang thought France was the biggest producer of grapes .
“They’re not,” Song Mian placed the plate of readily cut steak pieces in front of his girlfriend before cutting his steak . “France is famous for its grape wine, but most of them use the grapes produced here . ”
Yun Xiangxiang was surprised . She thought all the grape wine in France used the fruits grown in their own country . She didn’t expect it to be something like this .
“This is a wealthy land . ” Yun Xiangxiang had a question . “Where are all the starving people with lifeless eyes?”
“They’re the victims of famine, but those are in West and North Africa . We’re in South Africa . ” Song Mian corrected, “South Africa has never been a country that needed to be rescued . ”
“I see,” Yun Xiangxiang finally got the answer . She was too influenced by TV . “Then the stories about this place being a city of crime are fake too, right?”
“Well that part is true,” Song Mian nodded after having a bite of the steak .
Anyone could buy firearms here . The crime rate was sky-high . The criminals were usually foreigners from neighboring poverty-stricken countries .
These criminals loved to target Chinese who chose not to use credit cards, and brought cash instead . Thanks to that, South Africa left a bad impression on the Chinese .
Someone could hold them at gunpoint as they leisurely strolled through the streets . If they even showed a bit of resistance, they would be shot through the chest .
That was why Song Mian would never let Yun Xiangxiang out of his sights while she was here .
