Chapter 655 - 527: As a Man, How Can You Say "I Can’t" at a Critical Moment?
Huang Jun looked in the direction indicated by Weiwei’s curious finger...
In that place...
A uniquely charming storefront stood quietly amid the bustling scene ahead to the left.
In front of the store, the crowd surged and the atmosphere was lively.
Seeing Weiwei show such curiosity about the place, and feeling the deeply ingrained Chinese tendency to enjoy lively scenes stirring within him, Huang Jun wanted to go over and take a closer look...
So, he smiled and gently asked the two little ones beside him, "Qingqing, Weiwei, it does look quite lively over there. Shall we go and have a look together?"
Weiwei’s eyes immediately sparkled with excitement as she nodded eagerly, "Sure, sure! It’s so lively over there; there must be something fun waiting for us!"
Qingqing also nodded lightly, her little face beaming with the same excitement as Weiwei, "Yes, I want to see it too."
With their hearts aligned, Huang Jun hesitated no longer.
He smiled and said, "Then let’s go and experience the lively atmosphere over there together."
With that, he led the two little ones over.
Around the area of the arcade, a diverse array of stores gathered, from snack stalls to toy kingdoms and fashion stores—everything one might expect.
The unique store surrounded by many people was a shop selling desserts and cakes.
Inside the shop, an array of desserts and cakes were displayed like works of art, with brightly colored decorations drawing eyes, while joyful music played intermittently, continuously attracting passersby.
At this moment.
A girl wearing a white chef’s uniform, with a low ponytail draped softly, held a microphone and expressed joy to the crowd:
"Welcome to Luck Bakery’s anniversary celebration! Today, we’ve prepared a handmade cake-making contest for you. With just a 50 yuan entry fee, you can embark on a creative and sweet journey."
"Under the guidance of a professional cake decorator in-store, you will create your own unique cake."
"And eventually, the lucky person who creates the most exquisite cake will win our shop’s grand prize of a 1000 yuan shopping voucher!"
"Of course, regardless of how your creation turns out, it will be a precious memory that you can pack up and take home, sharing this sweetness with friends and family..."
Huang Jun listened to the girl’s words and immediately grasped the deeper meaning she conveyed.
In the general market, the price of a 6-inch cake floats between 100 to 150 yuan, and in some high-end brand stores, the price could go even higher.
The so-called 50 yuan competition fee is actually an excellent chance to make and take home a handmade cake at very low cost, which is undoubtedly a worthwhile deal.
By participating in this event, not only can one experience the joy of making a cake by hand, but also obtain this sweet result at a price far below market value.
More thrillingly, if one stands out in the contest and wins the 1000 yuan shopping voucher, it adds a vividly colorful stroke to this experience, significantly increasing its value.
In total, this "deal" is a wise choice that guarantees a win from any perspective.
Huang Jun noticed that many parents, attracted by this unique experience, had begun lining up to register.
After hearing the girl’s introduction, Qingqing and Weiwei’s eyes shimmered with excitement. They showed great interest in the upcoming handmade cake-making contest, instinctively gripping Huang Jun’s hand.
Weiwei raised her innocent little face, filled with anticipation, and asked, "Daddy, can we join this contest too?"
Almost simultaneously, Qingqing echoed softly with expectancy, "Yeah, Daddy, can we participate?"
Gazing at the children’s expectant eyes, Huang Jun’s lips curled into a gentle smile, and he asked back, "Weiwei, Qingqing, are you eager to eat cake?"
"Yes, very much wanting to taste a cake I made myself!"
Weiwei’s voice was full of cheer.
Qingqing, slightly shy, nodded and then plucked up the courage to say in a near-whispering voice, "Daddy, I wonder if I am too greedy? I had a lot of wontons this morning, later some bear biscuits, but now... I still want to try making a cake..."
As she finished speaking, her little face blushed even more.
Weiwei, hearing this, quickly found common ground, "Ah, I’m just like sister. Daddy, am I greedy too?"
Huang Jun, hearing this, crouched down and gently pinched their plump little faces, laughing, "Qingqing, Weiwei, you are growing, eating more is quite normal. Even if you turn into little chubby dumplings, Daddy will always love and take care of you!"
"Come on, Daddy will take you to register!"
He led Qingqing and Weiwei together, heading towards the registration desk.
Just then...
Huang Jun carried a large bag containing over twenty plush dolls of different shapes, like a mobile doll shop, while Qingqing and Weiwei each embraced their favorite Pleasant Goat and Peppa Pig, forming a group that inevitably drew the attention of passersby who looked with curiosity.
Interestingly...
Some onlookers mistakenly thought Huang Jun was a vendor selling cute plush dolls, approaching to inquire about prices, hoping to buy a few companions for their little ones.
Faced with such a misunderstanding, Huang Jun could only politely decline.
