She sat up and called out, "Gu Junzhu?"
No one answered.
She got out of bed, picked up a rose-shaped cake, and sniffed it—it smelled sweet and delicious.
It was a real cake!
She took out her phone to text Gu Junzhu: Where are you?
Gu Junzhu replied quickly: Downstairs accompanying the old man for morning exercises. Are you awake?
Ye Xingbei: Yeah, what's with the cake?
Gu Junzhu only replied with a smile emoji, no text.
Actually, Ye Xingbei knew without asking what the cake was about.
This was... that man heard her talk last night about how, at fifteen, she stood in front of the kitchen window at midnight, salivating over a cake she couldn't afford... It broke his heart.
Then, that man bought her a houseful of sweets and cakes.
That man really was... thoughtful yet silly.
So many cakes, how could they possibly eat them all?
