Shen You accompanied Xie Xiao as they waited in the mall for a while.
The two of them arrived at the balcony on the second floor, just nice to see the crowded signing event below.
However, the angle was at the back of the booth, so she still couldn’t see anything.
Not long after, the signing event ended.
Shen You was only in time to see a completely black figure following the staff members’ lead to the passageway by the side.
Xie Xiao held Shen You’s hand and said, “Let’s go! I’m satisfied today!”
The two of them came to Xie Xiao’s sister’s shop and found a quiet spot to sit down.
Xie Xiao’s sister’s name was Xie Chen, and she was a top graduate of M University.
The two sisters were influenced by their parents, and their temperaments looked so demure and elegant.
If Xie Xiao had not dragged her to some two-dimensional signing event, Shen You would never have thought that Xie Xiao had such a lively side.
Xie Chen looked even more gentle and generous. Her every move gave off a warm feeling.
Shen You could faintly feel that Xie Chen’s luck value was even stronger than Xie Xiao’s.
However, these luck values seemed to be rejecting her.
Shen You was a little confused. She sat on the sofa and looked at the smiling Xie Chen in front of her.
“You two continue to chat. I still have something to do. I’ll get back to work first.” After saying this, Xie Chen left.
Shen You leaned against the sofa and took a sip of the coffee in front of her. However, there was some doubt in her heart.
Xie Xiao did not notice the change in Shen You. She only took out her picture album and gently stroked it with hier hands.

Shen You looked at Xie Xiao’s expression and could not help but laugh. “Do you know that now you look… very perverted!”
When Xie Xiao heard that, he glared at Shen You and said, “You don’t understand!”
“Yes, yes, yes! I don’t understand!” As Shen You said that, she scooped a mouthful of the cake in front of her.
She put the cake into her mouth but could not help but frown.
“This…” As Shen You said that, she paused.
Xie Xiao looked up at Shen You and saw that she was frowning.
“What’s wrong?” Xie Xiao looked at Shen You strangely.
“It doesn’t taste right.” Shen You frowned. She felt that there was something strange about this cake.
Xie Xiao scooped up a mouthful of the cake and tasted it. “There’s no problem with it! It’s the cake that sister made.”
Shen You thought for a moment and asked, “How’s the sales of this cake?”
Xie Xiao shook her head. “Sister said that the cakes in the shop have never been easy to sell.”
Shen You was stunned for a moment, looked at Xie Xiao and asked tentatively, “Do you think this cake is delicious?”
Xie Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, “Sister has always made cakes with this flavor… I think it’s still okay!”
Hearing Xie Xiao’s words, Shen you suddenly felt that it made sense.
After all, what reason would freeloaders have to raise their opinions?
Shen You sighed and said, “Let’s go and talk to your sister.”
Xie Xiao did not know what Shen You wanted to do, but she still nodded and followed Shen You to the counter.
Xie Chen sat behind the counter and was reading a book in her hand.
There were not many people in this shop to begin with. Most of the people who came to the shop would drink coffee and read books to pass time.
As a result, most of Xie Chen’s time is in leisure.
Shen You looked at such an atmosphere and neither she felt happy nor worried.
Even though she never came to this shop in her past life.
But she always hear people say that the coffee in this shop is very good, there were many books, and the lady owner was very nice.
However, the store suddenly closed after only a few years of operation.
Shen You had never understood the reason why this shop could not continue operating.
Now it seemed that… she might have found the reason!
Xie Chen saw Xie Xiao and Shen You walking over and asked in puzzlement, “Do you need anything else?”
Xie Chen’s tone was gentle, but it did not make Shen You feel close.
Shen You smiled at Xie Chen and said, “Sister Xie Chen, can I borrow your kitchen?”
Xie Chen looked at Shen You in confusion, then she turned to look at Xie Xiao with a questioning look in her eyes.
Xie Xiao shook her head. She did not know what Shen You wanted to do.
Shen You smiled and said, “I want to make a snack for Sister Xie Chen to try.”
Although Xie Chen was a little confused, she still led Shen You and Xie Xiao into the kitchen.
After Shen You confirmed the supplies and ingredients in the kitchen, she rolled up her sleeves and started working.
Xie Chen and Xie Xiao looked at each other. They did not expect Shen You to be so skillful in cooking!
They watched as Shen You was mixing flour to seasoning, then to molding and baking in one go.
The two sisters stood at the side and watched in a daze without making a sound.
Shen You placed the last tray of snacks into the oven, clapped her hands, then turned to Xie Chen and Xie Xiao and said, “It’s done!”
The two sisters looked surprised, almost clapping their hands for Shen You.
