Chapter 2358: Looking for Senior Brother
At the crucial moment, Xie Wanying raised her hand and said to a few classmates, "I know someone who should know how to make a chocolate cake. He’s great at cooking and has a lot of cookbooks at home."
Who is Student Xie talking about? The boys suddenly felt a bad premonition.
"Senior Cao," Xie Wanying answered without needing to think or hesitate.
She couldn’t make desserts, but Senior Cao was different; he was too good at living, able to do everything. Her mom praised Senior Cao’s cooking skills to the skies. Senior Cao had given her many desserts to eat, so he should know a lot about desserts.
She explained her reasoning to her classmates, believing they would agree with her idea.
The boys standing in front of her turned into popsicles the moment they heard those three words from her mouth.
"What do you all think? I’ll call Senior Cao and ask him how to make chocolate." Seeing that the classmates were too shy to call the senior, Xie Wanying picked up her phone, seeing no time to lose.
"Yingying!" The boys snapped into action, reaching out to snatch her phone, "Wait a minute—"
Telling Senior Cao about this wouldn’t be much of a surprise. Senior Cao would probably call them little fools like Senior Brother Huang.
Seeing how strongly the classmates reacted, Xie Wanying explained seriously, "Don’t worry, Senior Cao won’t mind helping."
Student Xie didn’t know that while Senior Cao was a great guy who wouldn’t mind, Senior Cao was going to laugh at them hard. The boys inwardly wept.
The call wasn’t stopped, and it actually went through.
The boys stared in disbelief as Student Xie insisted on making this call.
Xie Wanying thought she couldn’t waste any more time. Valentine’s Day was coming, and everyone was usually busy; if they didn’t get it right today, the gift might not be ready. Besides, she couldn’t think of anyone else suitable. She admitted she was the thick-skinned one who didn’t hesitate to ask teachers and seniors for help when needed.
"Senior, are you busy?"
If the senior was busy, she’d avoid disturbing him.
"I’m resting at home today." Cao Yong’s voice came pleasant as he noticed it was her calling, "I wanted to ask if you’ve had any rest. Have you finished reading those bridal shop magazines, and have you found any styles you like? If not, I can help you ask around."
Hearing this, someone nearby chuckled, thinking his excuse to ask a girl out was as obvious as daylight. Of course, this didn’t matter to the single-minded Student Xie.
With gratitude, Xie Wanying said, "I gave the magazines to Second Senior Sister. She said she needs time to research it and hasn’t decided yet."
"Let me know when you do, and I’ll take you to the store to see the samples in person. Some things are different from pictures." Cao Yong said, recalling that she wouldn’t call just for no reason and asked, "Are you at Shou’er?"
Guessing that she usually calls people about problems with her studies or work, Cao Yong frowned, wondering why his brother took a student and raised someone like this.
(Cao Zhao: How did today’s matter get blamed on me?)
"I’m not at the hospital. I’m on vacation with some classmates making chocolate."
"Making chocolate?"
"Yes, classmates from the class said they’d like to receive chocolate on Valentine’s Day."
Cao Yong: ...Sounds strange.
The few boys on the scene had to cover their faces.
"We spent half a day boiling two pots of cocoa powder, and now we need someone to guide us. Have you ever made a chocolate cake, Senior? I think you’re good at cooking, so you might know how to make a chocolate cake." Xie Wanying shared her thoughts.
