Chapter 168

When she came to the room on the second floor, Sister Xu divided the small room into two with a cloth curtain, leaving a space for Wen Xiaoyan to belong to.

Wen Xiaoyan didn't have many things, and she tidied them up neatly.There was a stack of reference books on the desk, and Ning Qiu went over to look through them one by one. The reference books were densely filled with notes, and it could be seen that Wen Xiaoyan was still working hard.

She opened another junior high school mathematics competition reference book and found another handwriting appeared in the book.

The handwriting is not like that of a girl, it is a bit scribbled, but the steps of answering the questions are impeccable.Ning Qiu guessed that this might be the handwriting left by Wen Xiaoyan after asking her classmates for advice.

But after that, there were more and more handwriting like this, and there were almost every question behind it.Ning Qiu couldn't help but wonder, could this be the reason for Wen Xiaoyan's late return?

Waiting until almost eleven o'clock, Ning Qiu saw that it was too late, so she asked Sister Xu to go to bed first, and sat downstairs by herself.

Lying on the table, I don't know when I fell asleep, and when I woke up, there was already morning light outside the window.

Ning Qiu rubbed his eyes and looked at the watch on his wrist, it was past five in the morning.She stood up and moved her sore limbs and neck a little.

Just about to go upstairs to have a look, Sister Xu came down the stairs. Judging by the look on her face, she probably didn't sleep well.

"Ning Qiu, are you still there? Xiaoyan didn't come back!?"

"Well, sister Xu, I have something to do today and I have to go back. If Xiaoyan comes back, ask her to call me."

"Okay, then... what about the money?"

"I will ask Xiaoyan about this matter, and you can buy a lock later, and the money will go to the public account."

"it is good."

Ning Qiu stepped out of the small shop in the morning light, and caught the first bus back to the small building.

A girl in her teens didn't come home all night, Ning Qiu was very worried and wondered if she should call the police.Just wait... Maybe Wen Xiaoyan will come back by herself in the morning?
After returning to the small building, Ning Qiu immediately went to the back kitchen. She wanted to make a birthday cake for Yao Hanxin herself.

Ning Qiu made preparations the day before yesterday. He bought fish bubbles at the vegetable market, cleaned them, and made homemade gelatin sheets.This is an essential ingredient for making whipped cream.

The production process is actually not complicated, but it is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.The production of whipped cream relies on 'beating', and it may be difficult to complete without any strength.

The cake embryo Ningqiu uses the method of chiffon cake. The texture is puffy, the water content is high, the taste is light and not greasy, and the taste is moist and tender.Coupled with the fresh cream she whipped with all her efforts, it's impossible for the taste to be bad.

Mounting flowers is also a handicraft. Ning Qiu made the simplest moon-shaped flower mounting tool. Using the same method, he spread a layer on the cake, which looked like layers of lace.Decorated with red fondant around, the birthday cake was successfully completed.

While she was decorating the birthday cake, Master Chen and Xu Qiming both came to work, and they didn't make a sound when they entered the back kitchen, they just watched silently from the side.

Ning Qiu was too involved in making it, and didn't notice that there were two more people beside him. It wasn't until the cake was finished that he realized that the master and apprentice were staring at each other.

"Ah!" Ning Qiu was startled, clutching his chest, "Master Chen, why are you so silent! You didn't scare me to death."

Master Chen pulled Ning Qiu excitedly and asked, "Girl! You... What you are doing is..."

"It's a whipped cream cake, specially made for a friend's birthday."

"Fresh milk? Doesn't it look like the one sold in the store?"

"No." Ning Qiu took the remaining fresh milk and let Master Chen taste it, "This is harder to make than hard butter."

Master Chen's eyes lit up after tasting it, "It's not greasy at all, it's very soft!"

Xu Qiming nodded again and again after tasting it, savoring the rich milky fragrance in his mouth.

"Yeah, hard cream is made of butter, and it gets greasy if you eat too much. But this kind is made of light cream, so it's not greasy."

"What is light cream?"

Ning Qiu looked at the time, only to realize that it was almost 08:30.She had to make a call and ask Sister Xu if Wen Xiaoyan was back, and if not, she had to go to the police station.

"Master Chen, let me explain to you later, I have to go to the police station now!"

"Where are you going?" Xu Qiming asked.

"I have a friend who didn't come home last night. A 15-year-old girl is not worrying."

"Then shall I drive you there?"

"No need, Master Chen can't do it alone. I'll go by myself, it's not far from here."

Ning Qiu carefully put the fresh milk cake with the tray into the box and put it in the refrigerator, then took off her apron and hurried to the police station.

Entered the police station and walked down the process together. It was almost 10:30, and her forehead was sweating in the November weather.

After the police station came out, Ning Qiu ran back to the small building.Fortunately, Xu Qiming had already delivered the goods, so Ning Qiu took the cake and asked him to drive him to Yao Hanxin's home.

Ning Qiu has the address of Yao Hanxin's house, but has never been there.Ever since the dilapidated pickup truck was stopped by the guard, Ning Qiu had a bad premonition.

She took out the red invitation card, and the pickup truck was allowed to drive into the park-like residential area.

"Ning Qiu, who is that friend of yours?!" Xu Qiming drove very carefully, for fear of bumping into a luxury car parked by the side of the road.Even if a little paint is rubbed off, he can't afford it.

Trembling all the way to the destination, Ning Qiu got out of the car with the cake.Seeing the mansion in front of her, she was in a state of chaos.

"Ning Qiu! I'm going back first!"

Xu Qiming stretched out his head to say hello, and without waiting for Ning Qiu's answer, he carefully turned onto the main road, stepped on the gas pedal and left the residential area as if fleeing.

Ning Qiu came back to her senses, saw the guests in the garden who were well dressed, and then looked down at herself.

A crumpled sportswear, dirty sneakers on the feet.With my current appearance, it is likely that people will mistakenly think that I am delivering food, although there was no food delivery in the early 90s.

Standing at the door and hesitating for a while, Ning Qiu quickly walked along the wall to the back.There is another door at the back, and a truck is parked at the door, and several male waiters are moving boxes of things out of the car.

Ning Qiu sneaked in like a thief looking at the empty space, and when he walked into the luxurious bungalow, he heard chatter and laughter from the front hall.

She quietly slipped into the unoccupied aisle, one end of the aisle was a tool room, the other end led to the front hall.

Coming to the door leading to the front hall, Ning Qiu opened the door a crack and took a look inside.At a glance, I saw a very familiar figure, that guy was hiding in a corner of the dining table, eating and drinking with a plate.

"Zhao Yanan!" Ning Qiu called out with a suppressed voice.

Zhao Yanan was eating happily, but he didn't hear Ning Qiu's cries like mosquitoes.

Raising the volume, Ning Qiu yelled a few more times.Zhao Yanan finally reacted, and raised his head from the dinner plate to look at her.

Seeing that she noticed him, Ning Qiu hurriedly beckoned her to come over.

Zhao Yanan was startled by Ning Qiu's sneaky look, put down the plate, looked around, and then ran towards the door.

Ning Qiu grabbed her and dragged her behind the door.

"Ning Qiu! Why are you here now!?"
