Dessert War [Ancient and Modern]

Chapter 81

Hope is gone!How about going to Las Vegas to participate in what finals?To embarrass yourself? ! "

For a long time, Shen Lie had just accepted Tangyu's venting and bad temper, understood his inner distress, pitied him for being troubled by the disease, and wished he could replace him with his own body.As a man, he couldn't make his beloved happy, and as a pastry master, he couldn't make his apprentice produce good works. This was his failure and shame.

But Shen Lie also knew very well in his heart that if Tangyu's illness didn't get better, or if he couldn't untie the knot in Tangyu's heart, not to mention that this year's Las Vegas Dessert Master Finals would be absolutely useless, even his future would be too. suffer a devastating blow.

Standing up from the dining table, Shen Lie took a piece of cleaning cloth to wipe the soiled table, took some ingredients again, and said gently: "Xiaoyu, don't be discouraged, after all, you have lost your sense of taste. Great! Try again, it will definitely get better and better."

But Tangyu took off her apron and threw it on the table, and ran upstairs while yelling loudly: "Don't do it! It's useless to do it! I'm just a waste of snacks now! I can only do some rote things." I can’t make new desserts anymore, and I can’t be a dessert chef anymore! I can’t count on it in my life!”

"Tangyu!" Shen Lie hurried upstairs, but the bedroom door was slammed shut.

Touching the nose that was almost hit, the man sighed helplessly, and shouted in a low voice: "Xiaoyu, you open the door and let me in, Xiaoyu—"

"No! You'll just coax me, I don't want to listen to your nonsense!"

On the other side of the rosewood door, the child's voice tinged with crying. The strong pretense in front of others was no match for the fragility deep in my heart.

"I can only make snacks. If I can't even do this, what else can I do? What else can I do!" His lonely and cold voice was like glass falling, shattering across the door.

Hearing the low sobs from the other side of the door, each word seemed to be sucked into deep despair, making Shen Lie's angina unbearable.Tangyu's love for dessert making is natural, his talent is innate, and his enthusiasm is also deep-rooted, but now he is suffering from this disease, which has deprived him of his favorite career and life, which he has devoted countless efforts to. No matter how strong a person is, it is inevitable that there will be thoughts of despair.

"Xiaoyu, don't think so. Even if you really can't make desserts, there are still many things you can do in this world. Think about it, when I was away before, you could even manage the operation of seven black swan chain stores! You You have never studied business management at all, but you can manage the store so well, and you have resisted the negative news for a while! So, Xiaoyu, listen to me, you are still young, and you still have a lot of potential and talents to be tapped .Don't give up on yourself easily. When God closes a door, he will definitely open a window..."

"It doesn't matter how well the shop is run? Do you think I like doing these things? I do these jobs for you, not for myself!" Tang Yu slid down slowly and sat with her knees hugged. At the corner of the door, he hissed: "What's the use if I don't give up on myself? What's the use of my hard work for so many days? It's all in vain! I don't care about any potential talents. I just want to make snacks. You Get it? I can't do it now, you get it!"

"Xiaoyu, calm down first." Walking along the door, Shen Lie sighed and sat down, as if this exhaustion was about to wear him down.Although he was not the one who got sick, the torment Shen Lie suffered in his heart was no less than that of Tang Yu himself, and he even had more hatred for his helplessness.

"You are capable, you are calm, anyway, it is not you who is sick!"

No matter how good her personality is, Tangyu still has a childish side after all, Shen Lie didn't mind being choked by him all the time tonight and bearing countless angers from him.He knew in his heart that at this moment, apart from venting to himself, who else could Tangyu use as a punching bag.His emotions have been suppressed for too long, so it's better to explode today, at least reduce the possibility of getting sick from the depression in his heart.

There was a long silence on both sides of the door.Only the window at the end of the corridor has a few wisps of moonlight pouring out, quietly scattering the light and shadow that is as thin as a stream.

In fact, how could Shen Lie be calm in his heart, because Tangyu's illness has not recovered, he has been in a state of anxiety.But the cold moonlight in front of him calmed him down a little.

"Xiaoyu, do you know why I like you?" He changed the subject, trying to calm the other person down.

Tangyu behind the door was slightly startled, why Shen Lie fell in love with him, and still regarded himself as his annoying younger brother, as for the reason, he really didn't really think about it.Now that I think about it, it's nothing more than——

"I'm a nice person!"

The child's answer was so straightforward that Shen Lie smiled lightly, and then said softly: "I hate Tang Yu very much, and you know the reason, but you are too different from him. I like it when you do it in front of me for the first time. I also like the way you were meticulous when you were doing the cleaning chores in the black swan. I also like the way you worked hard when you secretly learned how to make pastry. Even if I treated you so Fierce, I have been making things difficult for you, and you have never frowned, as long as there is a small compliment to you, you will smile at me like a little sun."

Speaking of this, Shen Lie smiled in a low voice, and then continued: "Xiaoyu, at that time, I was actually quite dark in my heart, and I was always wary of you. So, every time you smiled at me like that, it seemed like Pulled me from the darkness to the sunshine, and made me passively bright. Although I never admitted it at that time, I knew in my heart that I already liked you. Later I misunderstood you, you left, I I found you again, and saw that your conditions are so difficult and your work is harder than in Black Swan, but you are still self-reliant, you have not fallen, you did not go with Cao Jun and his gang, but do your best to live, I know , falling in love with you is the only thing I haven't done wrong since I met you."

"Shen Lie..." On the other side of the door, Tang Yu's voice began to choke.

Shen Lie stood up, and said to him word by word through the door: "Xiaoyu, so I want to tell you that the reason why I like you is not only because you are a good person, but also because you are serious about things, I like that you work hard for your dreams, and that you are tenacious and never give up in everything..."

With a "click", the tightly closed door was opened, and Tang Yu, who was standing in front of Shen Lie, was already in tears.

"Then, have I disappointed you now? Have I made you dislike me?"

Shen Lie didn't speak, but took a step forward to wrap him tightly in his arms.Why answer such questions, each other's hearts are tightly tied together, beating the same rhythm, which is stronger than thousands of words.

"I feel terrible, and I still lose my temper with you." Tang Yu pulled up the collar of the man's shirt and wiped away tears, nestled in his arms with her little head drooping, her wet eyelashes fluttering aggrievedly, Then he secretly raised his head and looked at Shen Lie.

This wet and wrinkled little face really made Shen Lie feel sorry for him. He took him by the hand and led him into the bathroom in the bedroom. The child wiped his crying face clean, and then said softly: "No matter what you become, I will always remember your first and best side. Since I love you, of course I will not give up on you. Remember, No matter what, I will stand firmly by your side and accompany you."

The eyes that had just been wiped clean were filled with uncontrollable tears.Tang Yu raised her head and tried her best not to let the tears flow down, but her heart was already soft and messed up.

That's great, I didn't love the wrong person.When I came to this world, although I encountered so many unfavorable things, it was such a rare luck to have such a person who would love and take care of me standing by my side no matter what.

"Don't worry about being sick, let alone be discouraged. Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart!" Shen Lie put down the towel, gently wiped the tears from the corners of the little guy's eyes with his thumb, and said with a smile: "Have you ever heard of Bedo? Fern's story?"

"I seem to have read it in a book. Is it a musician?" Tang Yu, who traveled from another world, was not familiar with this famous musician like most people in this world, but only vaguely remembered what he had read. There is such a character mentioned in a certain book.

Shen Lie briefly described Beethoven's life, "This is a very talented musician. He became famous at a young age and created many musical repertoires that have been passed down to the world. Just like a teacher loses his sense of taste, it is also a terrible thing for a musician to lose his hearing. Therefore, after being deaf, he was also very hopeless. For him, life seems not worth living anymore if he cannot hear beautiful music. "

"Then... and then?" Tang Yu opened her big black eyes, as if she had guessed some of Shen Lie's intentions in telling her this story.

Shen Lie said seriously: "But Beethoven was not overwhelmed by this disease. He said: 'I want to strangle the throat of fate'. Although he lost his hearing, he still devoted himself to creation and composed songs such as A series of excellent and great works, such as the "Ninth Symphony", have been handed down to this day, and they are still immortal masterpieces!"

Tang Yu pursed her lips and said unconvinced: "He is a big man and a great musician, I can't compare with him, I'm just a little pastry chef."

"Who said you should compare with him!" Shen Lie smiled and squeezed
