Chapter 101: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
Chapter 101: A Dessert Shop
Jiang Chenchen thought the boy might be asking for Lu Su's contact information like the others, so she averted her gaze, shook her head, and walked past him.
The boy didn't chase after her but stood still, turning his head to stare at her silhouette. Under the dark curtain of his half-long hair, his gaze was gloomy.
Sensing the gaze behind her, Jiang Chenchen felt a bit strange. That person from just now seemed vaguely familiar, but she couldn't place where she might have seen him. Lowering her head, she searched her memory and confirmed that she didn't know him. But why did he feel somewhat recognizable?
Her steps suddenly stopped as a shadow appeared in front of her.
Catching a familiar scent, she joyfully raised her head. The person before her held a black umbrella, shielding his face. His tall figure stood in front of her, and under the grey coat, his legs were long and straight.
Leaves left over from late winter hung on the branches of spring, ready to fall at the slightest breeze.
Sheng Mingsi reached forward, taking a step, and lifted the umbrella, blocking the falling leaves for her.
Jiang Chenchen found herself enclosed under his black umbrella, surrounded by his familiar cool aura. She looked up at him, and his deep black eyes seemed to carry an irresistible allure, pulling her into their depths.
For a moment, she was mesmerized.
Her breath slowed, and her heart raced, feeling an unusual flutter in her chest.
"Staring blankly at me?" Sheng Mingsi observed her expression, his gaze slightly softening, revealing a faint smile that quickly disappeared.
Jiang Chenchen snapped out of her daze, not understanding what had just happened.
She didn't think too much about it. Just seeing him made her happy.
"Brother Ah si, did you ask me out for lunch at noon?"
"Follow me."
Sheng Mingsi didn't give a clear answer, only instructing her to follow his steps.
He continued holding the umbrella, slowing down his pace. Jiang Chenchen walked beside him, significantly shorter, wearing the high school uniform, and moving lightly.
Walking under an umbrella together like this felt novel to her.
She couldn't help but glance at him.
Even though it had only been two days since they last met, why did his features seem even more profound?
The spring sunlight came in from the side of the black umbrella, casting a dazzling light on his smooth jawline and slender neck. It seemed like he had noticed the stolen glances, but he pretended not to.
They quickly reached their destination, turning into an alley. In front of them stood a shop.
The sign seemed to have been recently removed.
Looking through the glass door, Jiang Chenchen could see that it was a dessert shop.
At the moment, Wu Bi, wearing the apron of a bubble tea shop employee, was busy at the counter in the operating area. This tall and strong man appeared completely different, and Jiang Chenchen stood outside the glass door, looking at the people inside, then turning to the person next to her.
"This is..."
Sheng Mingsi, with deep eyes, calmly looked at the people inside and said, "Wu Bi has always wanted to open a dessert shop. So, he took over this store near the school. You can come here for lunch and rest in the future. It will be very quiet here."
Wu Bi:?
He never had this dream!
But since Mr. Sheng said he did, then he did.
So Wu Bi, holding a freshly made cup of juice, reluctantly smiled at them.
Jiang Chenchen made a soft sound, then pushed the door open.
Sheng Mingsi followed closely behind, and the glass door closed. The sign on it had long been taken down.
This would be a dessert shop that doesn't serve customers from the outside.
Though it was called a small shop, it wasn't very small. Besides the sofa tables in the hall, there was a long row of bookshelves against the wall, filled with various books and materials.
There was also a room in the back, a storage room, and a large courtyard. The courtyard was filled with flowers and plants, resembling a romantic small garden.
Sitting in the courtyard, drinking milk tea, and reading a book would be more comfortable.

Jiang Chenchen sat at a table near the front counter, and Wu Bi placed the juice in front of her, continuing to play his role, "Miss Jiang, please enjoy."
Saying this, he turned around and continued working in the improved kitchen.
He was currently frying a high-quality steak.
Jiang Chenchen looked at the juice in her hand, wanting to say something but seeing how busy he was, she decided not to ask.

Sheng Mingsi sat down next to her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Can't I order milk tea?"
"Don't drink this before your meal. Have some juice; we'll eat in a bit." He gestured with his chin, "Hold the cup and drink. Go to the backyard afterward."
Jiang Chenchen obediently followed his instructions, sipping juice while lifting the curtain to look at the backyard. She found the place charming.
Returning to the front counter, she finished her juice, feeling quite content.
Breaking the ice, she initiated a conversation with Wu Bi.
"You will definitely become an excellent dessert shop owner."
Wu Bi: ? Not necessarily!
He forced a smile and placed a well-cooked steak on the plate, added side dishes and sauce, and handed it over. But it wasn't over yet; there was a small pot of soup simmering on the stove. He served a bowl and, still not finished, took out shrimp dumplings from the steamer, serving them as the final main course.
Jiang Chenchen hadn't expected this dessert shop to offer so much food.
Sheng Mingsi, sitting nearby, said, "You can come here to eat in the future. Wu Bi welcomes you. His dream is not just to be a pastry chef."
Wu Bi: "..."
Jiang Chenchen nodded, "Mr. Sheng, you should also try some. Wu Bi's cooking is quite good."
Sheng Mingsi, with a slightly furrowed brow, said, "Just call him Xiao Wu; no need for the 'brother.'"
"Oh, Xiao Wu's cooking is excellent. Won't you try some?"
Xiao Wu at the moment: "..."
Sheng Mingsi remained solemn and cold, saying to her, "I've already eaten. You enjoy; these are all made for you. After eating, you can rest and read books. There are books over there."
Although he didn't intend to intervene, when he heard that she was being bullied at school, he couldn't help himself. The so-called school bully turned out to be Zhao Shitian's cousin. Sheng Mingsi made a call, urging Zhao Shitian to manage his cousin properly, or he would teach her a lesson.
As for taking over this shop near the school, he wanted to provide her with a quieter and more comfortable environment.
Since he had already intervened, he might as well ensure everything was in order.
Jiang Chenchen didn't know how much thought he had put into this. She only knew this place was good, and she guessed the food wouldn't be cheap.
After finishing her meal, she quickly took out her phone to scan the QR code.
"How much is it?"
Wu Bi: Can you even charge for this?
Sheng Mingsi, with a cold gaze, looked over and knocked on the table. "How much?"
His stern emphasis made Wu Bi break into a cold sweat, afraid of giving the wrong answer.
"Um, today's opening is free for trial. Are you satisfied with today's dishes? If so, please give us a 5-star review!"
Jiang Chenchen nodded, "Very satisfied."
"Also, here are some coupons. You can use them for your next visit." Wu Bi quickly grabbed a handful of coupons from a drawer and handed them to her.
Jiang Chenchen looked at the coupons in front of her, feeling a bit stunned. "So, I can come here anytime in the future?"
