Chapter 5 The hero she saved suddenly became a villain (05)

The system applauded Jiang Yuan vigorously.

[The host is awesome! So handsome! So awesome! ]

Look! Look!
The art of language!
What a powerful host it is!

These two simple sentences not only fit the character setting, but also help the male protagonist solve the problem, and will not make people suspect that the host is helping the male protagonist, so that no one will misunderstand and cause trouble for the male protagonist.

Different from the bustling environment on the system side, there was deathly silence around this table.

Shi Yifan finally swallowed the sip of coffee in his mouth. He put down the cup very gently and whispered, "I'm sorry, it's mainly because this coffee is too hard to drink. I couldn't help it."

The other two followed suit and promised to speak softly in the future.

After solving the problem, Jiang Yuan didn't waste time talking to anyone and turned back to his seat.

After the others left, the three of them gathered together and excitedly discussed, "The school beauty just spoke to me!"

"And me and me!"

"Go away, the school beauty didn't even look at you!"

"The school beauty said 'please, speak in a low voice', um...how come she didn't talk to us at all?"

Because of his outstanding appearance, prominent family background, and excellent academic performance, Jiang Yuan is very popular in Linglan Middle School.

She has a cold personality and rarely speaks to others. In Linglan Middle School, the number of people who have spoken to Jiang Yuan can be counted on one hand.

Therefore, after talking to Jiang Yuan, the three of them were very excited and completely ignored Lu Sheng next to them.

Seeing that they didn't complain about the coffee and needed his help elsewhere, Lu Sheng left.

It wasn't just that table of guests in the cafe that was noisy. There was also a table of people discussing homework answers, and their voices were also very loud.

Why did the eldest lady only stop that table?

Lu Sheng looked over thoughtfully, and saw Jiang Yuan standing up and about to leave with the cake in his hand.

It turned out to be because I was leaving.

He was also confused, he actually wondered if the eldest lady said that just to help him.

After Jiang Yuan left, Lu Sheng worked until 10:30 in the evening before leaving get off work.

Blue Mountain Cafe never sells desserts overnight. If there are any unsold ones, they will be taken away and thrown away by the last person who leaves that day.

However, it is usually thrown into the stomach.

Because the middle school was on holiday this afternoon, there were a lot of people coming and the desserts sold out very quickly.

In the end, there was not a single piece left.

If there is nothing left, there is nothing left. There will always be something left in the future.

Lu Sheng tidied up the counter, changed his clothes and prepared to go back, but was stopped by the owner of the cafe.

Uncle Wang squinted his eyes and handed over a whole four-inch strawberry mousse cake with a smile.

"Lu Sheng, today is your birthday, right? Happy birthday!"

Uncle Wang drove Lu Sheng to get his health card. When Lu Sheng handed over his ID card, Uncle Wang happened to see that his birthday was today.

At that time, Lu Sheng came to work because of the strawberry mousse cake in their store. Uncle Wang thought that this kid must love the strawberry mousse cake in their store.

So, when I made the cake today, I made an extra whole one and didn’t cut it. I also went to the cake shop across the street to get a candle.

Lu Sheng didn't expect that Uncle Wang would do all these things for a part-time employee like him, and even noticed his birthday. He was stunned for a moment, so moved that he didn't know what to say.

His silence and strange expression caused Uncle Wang to misunderstand.

"It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that if you eat too much of this mousse cake, you'll get sick of it. I heard you said you only have one grandma at home, so I don't dare to make it too big. Here, I also got you birthday candles. Go back quickly and celebrate your birthday with your grandma!"

Uncle Wang patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder. Lu Sheng finally responded. He took the cake from Uncle Wang, thanked him repeatedly, and finally held the cake, found a shared bike, reluctantly paid 1.5 yuan, and rode back.

There's no other way. The buses have stopped running at this time, and it will take at least four or five hours to walk back. If I go back so late, my grandma will be worried.

Although riding the bike was a bit faster, Lu Sheng still didn't get home before 24:.

But let it be the next day, since yesterday wasn’t his real birthday anyway.

When his grandmother picked him up, he had been frozen in the snow and ice for a long time, with a high fever. His grandmother took a lot of effort to save him, spending a lot of time and energy. When she registered his household registration, she accidentally remembered the wrong date.

It will be difficult to change it later.

Lu Sheng thought that the day his grandmother picked him up was very meaningful, as that was the day they chose each other as their only relatives.

Later, the two of them always regarded this day as Lu Sheng’s birthday.

The two of them had already celebrated with the cake that Jiang Yuan gave him last time.

Lu Sheng will never forget Uncle Wang's kindness.

After parking the shared bicycle at the parking spot, Lu Sheng walked another 2 kilometers and finally reached his home.

There was no light coming through the crack in the door, but Lu Sheng knew that grandma was not asleep.

He took out his key and unlocked the door with the help of the light from his cell phone screen.

Lu Sheng picked up this phone at a scrapyard. The screen was rotten and there were colored stripes in some places, but it was still barely usable.

Every student in the school had to fill in their family contact information, so Lu Sheng reluctantly applied for a card and changed the package to the cheapest one with a monthly rental of five yuan. He never used this phone to make calls or send text messages, and only used it occasionally for lighting.

Every time, grandma would wait until he came home before she would close her eyes. When she was at home, she would not turn on the lights unless necessary to save electricity.

Worried that the sudden bright light would irritate his grandmother's eyes, Lu Sheng did not turn on the light. Instead, he relied on his memory to bypass the obstacles and came to the old woman.

The house has a one-bedroom and one-living room layout. Lu Sheng has to work part-time almost every day. In order to wait for Lu Sheng to come back, his grandmother has been living in the living room.

Lu Sheng was worried that the old man would not be comfortable lying down, so he took great effort to swap the bed and the sofa.

The current layout of his house is that the bedroom is at the entrance and the living room is behind the door next to it.

Grandma was old and her hearing was not very good. Lu Sheng moved closer and shouted, "Grandma, I'm back!"

"Xiao Sheng, why are you back so late today?"

"I just found a part-time job. The salary is very high, the boss is very nice to me, and the working hours are a little late."

Lu Sheng wanted to show his grandmother the mousse cake in his hand, but it was dark and his grandmother couldn't see it.

My grandma’s eyesight isn’t very good, and the flashlight in her phone isn’t working, so she can’t see clearly even with the light from the screen.

He then said loudly, "Our boss gave me a birthday cake and wished me a happy birthday. Grandma, do you want to taste the cake now?"

The elderly cannot eat so many sweets, but it’s okay to have a taste occasionally.

"No, no, it would be a waste for me to eat that, Xiao Sheng, you keep it for yourself, this is your birthday cake."

"I'm not hungry now. I put the cake in Brother Tiezhu's refrigerator first."

Lu Sheng's family doesn't have a refrigerator. They can't afford one and have no place to store it. They usually buy and eat vegetables right away, or pick vegetables from their own fields. If they need to freeze meat during the Chinese New Year, they will borrow the refrigerator from Tiezhu's neighbor.

Tiezhu is a butcher. He has to slaughter meat at night, so he hasn't gone to bed yet at this hour.

Lu Sheng went over and divided the cake among Tiezhu's family and put the remaining strawberry mousse cake in the refrigerator.

After being divided, the already small mousse cake became even smaller.

The small half of the cake that was left reminded Lu Sheng of the cake that the eldest lady gave him a few days ago.

He reached out, dug out a piece and tasted it.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s been a long time, but it’s not as delicious as the one the eldest lady gave him.
