Even though he didn't seem to care, Charlotte keenly captured his emotional changes, which were so subtle that they were almost undetectable.
She didn't know why he had such mood swings. Of course, it might just be her perception error.
However, Charlotte still expressed her opinion: "The meaning of birthday noodles is naturally different. In the past, whenever it was my birthday, my mother would always cook me a bowl of birthday noodles and have it as soon as I got up in the morning. You can eat it.”
A bowl of noodles may not be a big deal, but the bowl of noodles on her birthday contains the blessings from her family, letting her know that she is deeply loved.
Happiness is often reflected in small things like this.
Thinking about it now, the delicacies in the world are far inferior to the bowl of birthday noodles that my mother made for me.
Family love is so precious and beautiful.
Xia Luo's words made Qin Shaoheng's eyes move slightly, and his heart was touched again.
His eyes became softer and his voice became softer: "You must have been very happy at that time."
He could imagine it, because his mother...had done that for him.
At that time, he was happy.
It's a pity that things are unpredictable and happy time is always short-lived.
Recalling the life before the end of the world, Charlotte had a rare faint smile on her lips: "Yes, very happy."
Qin Shaoheng rarely saw any vivid expressions on her face, let alone a smile. Even if it is laughter, it is mostly meant to be playful or sarcastic.
Now seeing this sincere smile, even though it was fleeting, it made her whole face more beautiful and moving.
Charlotte did not stay immersed in the past. She quickly retracted her thoughts: "Let's go to the restaurant. Don't keep Mr. Qin and the others waiting."
Putting the noodle bowl on the tray, Charlotte was about to leave the kitchen and walk out.
"Give it to me and I'll take it out." Qin Shaoheng said proactively.
Charlotte didn't refuse and handed the tray to him directly.
She didn't have anything to do, so she picked up the birthday cake on the table and had to take it out.
There are no particularly complicated patterns on birthday cakes. Although animal butter is healthier, it is not as strong as vegetable butter in terms of decorating and shaping.
Charlotte also doesn't like to put a lot of plastic props on the cake, which is very cumbersome.
She made homemade light blue and lavender buttercream, as well as frosting in the same colors.
After spreading the cream on the cake base, she sprinkled the frosting on the top of the cake.
On top of the icing, put some homemade star candies.
The little stars have a light color, and each one is crystal clear.
From a distance, it looks like stars in the night sky.
A transparent cover is now covering the top of the cake to prevent the top shape from being damaged.
"You did this all by yourself?" Qin Shaoheng looked at the cake in Xia Luo's hand and asked.
Charlotte walked beside him and answered as he walked: "Well, because I want to create a surprise, I can't ask you about your preferences in advance."
Qin Shaoheng smiled: "Isn't this good? It looks like a starry sky to me."
Charlotte looked up at him and immediately replied: "Yes, the name of the cake is 'Starry Sky'."
This is actually a very appropriate name, no wonder he guessed it right away.
Sure enough, Qin Shaoheng also commented: "The name was chosen for the occasion."
Charlotte continued: "Actually, I originally wanted to make a chocolate mecha and put it on top. I guess you might like this kind of thing."
Qin Shaoheng looked sideways at her and followed her words and asked, "What next?"
On the cake in front of me, let alone the chocolate mecha model, there was no trace of the mecha at all.
Charlotte explained a few words: "The chocolate mecha must be placed vertically. If it is made larger, it will overwhelm the center of attention; but if it is made small, the details of the mecha will not be fully displayed."
In response, Qin Shaoheng nodded: "Yes, that's the truth."
"I have also thought about making a flower cake." Charlotte said in a casual tone, "But if you think about it carefully, although the Major General has been taking care of the flower garden, it does not mean that you like flowers."
Hearing Xia Luo say this, Qin Shaoheng's smile became even bigger. The little girl usually didn't talk so much.
The reason why she was talking to him so much now was to tell him in a subtle way that she had put a lot of thought into this cake.
"Through our previous exchanges, I felt that the major general seemed to like the boundless universe and the vast and bright starry sky, so... I made this cake." Charlotte said, talking about her ideas.
As if to confirm Qin Shaoheng's conjecture, Xia Luo continued: "Even if it doesn't suit your liking, I'll just make do with it. I've tried my best."
The smile in Qin Shaoheng's eyes grew stronger and stronger. She was really observing him carefully.
He didn't directly state his preferences to her, everything depended on her strong observation and speculation ability.
This ability of hers should have been used for studying, but now it was used on him.
If it were anyone else, this would probably just make him disgusted. He never liked others using all kinds of tricks in front of him.
Even out of basic etiquette, he wouldn't say much and would even smile warmly at others.
However, despite the smile on his face, he was watching indifferently deep down.
This is Qin Shaoheng, his gentleness and courtesy are just a result of his good family background.
Very few people will understand the real him.
Charlotte is probably one of the few people who understands him.
They haven't known each other for a long time, but she is smart, alert, mature, and has very strong perception.
He knew that she must have had some special experiences that gave her a life experience that was inconsistent with her age.
This experience also gave her a different insight into life. She is mature, far-sighted and unique in looking at many issues.
The most important thing is that Charlotte has empathy that surpasses most people.
She can stand in other people's shoes and understand other people's thoughts without any prejudice, which is often called empathy.
She is always able to empathize with him and often makes him feel that... he is understood by her.
No, maybe their views are really close, that’s why they get along so well. Is this considered like-minded?
Precisely because she understands him and he understands her as a person, Charlotte's secret observations and inferences about him will not make him feel offended, nor will he think that she has ulterior motives or ulterior motives.
Qin Shaoheng knew that if she had any utilitarian purpose, he would never bother to hide it.
As early as a year ago, she told him very straightforwardly that there was no need to check her. Did she really come to the Qin family for profit?
