Artisan Cake Shop.
When Jing Nian arrived in his casual outfit, Qin Shuang had already finished preparing the cake sponges.
"How come you're so late?" Qin Shuang asked as she folded the cream, her voice clear and cool.
The two of them were old friends who had met in a pastry chef training course.
Their personalities were extremely similar, one high cold, the other even more so, which made it difficult for them to greet each other warmly and noisily as common best friends would.
Even their greetings were indifferent, giving the impression that they were not very familiar with each other.
They both liked to bake because it allowed them to work without needing to talk, to immerse themselves fully in the task at hand.
Jing Nian was tying on her apron and, upon hearing Qin Shuang's question, answered truthfully, "I ran into Tang Fei... he invited me to dinner."
"Tang Fei?" Qin Shuang stopped stirring and asked, "The Tang Fei from White Crane Academy?"
