Xu Qingzhu glanced at the rearview mirror and could no longer see Master Xiao and Zizhen.

He looked away.

...

The flashing green light ahead made him slowly apply the brakes.

"Mom, I want to eat cake."

Outside the window came the conversation between a mother and her son who were gradually approaching on the roadside.

"Okay, mom will buy it for you."

"How about mommy makes it for you."

"Mom just saw a delicious cake online."

"How about you help mom and we make it together?"

"Okay~"

…

Xu Qingzhu curled the corners of his mouth.

But the next second, his pupils contracted violently.

He remembered!

He couldn't help but knock the steering wheel.

It turns out... something like that happened...

Maple leaf crisp...

Why hasn't he remembered...

Xu Qingzhu couldn't help but hit his head again.

He is not yet old.

This memory is no longer good.

Maple leaf cake... He once made it for Ling Feng...

…

Maple leaf cake can be regarded as their specialty food.

At that time, my mother would make it every autumn.

Therefore, when he was a child, he liked autumn the most.

The weather is neither hot nor cold.

There are also maple leaf cakes to eat.

The maple leaf cake is really delicious.

…

Naturally, good things should be shared with friends.

He gave Ling Feng the maple leaf cake made by his mother.

As he expected, Ling Feng liked to eat it very much.

His usually cold face seemed to become a little gentler.

He is very happy.

No.

Very happy.

From now on, whenever there is maple leaf cake, he will eat it with Ling Feng.

…

One Valentine's Day, on the way home from school, he overheard the older sisters passing by discussing whether they wanted to try their own chocolate...

His eyes lit up.

certainly.

He's not making chocolate.

He wants to make maple leaf cake.

Thinking of Ling Feng eating the maple leaf cake made by himself, he couldn't help but giggle.

…

The idea is beautiful.

But the reality is cruel.

…

He told his mother that he wanted to learn to make maple leaf cakes.

Mom was surprised, but also very happy.

He said that she relied on him to pass on this craft.

But……

Apparently he has no talent for making desserts.

Obviously, his mother has almost taught him step by step, but as long as his mother is not paying attention, he will make some stupid mistakes that even he himself finds incredible.

After several failures, he was severely hit by his complacency.

But his mother's encouragement and the idea of ​​making maple leaf cake for Ling Feng supported him to persevere.

Finally, he finally made a maple leaf cake that was pretty eye-catching.

Although compared to what my mother made, it's not even a bit ugly.

Do you really want to give such a finished product to Ling Feng?

He hesitated.

...

However, he did this with his own hands...

It doesn't look very pretty.

But he tasted it and it was much better than expected.

It should not prevent Lingfeng from entering...

...

Finally, he decided to take the maple leaf cake he made together with the maple leaf cake made by his mother.

The anxiety and excitement he felt at that time seemed to revive in his heart.

Xu Qingzhu grinned.

At that time, he was very timid and hid behind the door for a long time before he finally made up his mind and walked to the maple tree - the place where he met the girl.

...

He handed the maple leaf cake he made to the girl.

On the surface, he pretended not to care.

His eyes were full of nervousness.

…

The girl was obviously stunned for a moment.

He knows why.

After all, there is a big difference between the maple leaf cake he makes and the delicately shaped maple leaf cake made by his mother.

His face couldn't help but blush a little.

He smiled awkwardly.

Trying hard to "justify" my maple leaf cake.

Although his maple leaf cake doesn't look good, it still tastes good.

He can guarantee this.

He had eaten it.

His voice turned from low to high, then from high to low, getting softer and softer...

Frustration gradually spread in his heart.
To be continued...
