I just want to live in peace, I refuse to fall in love

Chapter 148 She's Just My Sister, My Sister Says Purple Has a Charm

After pushing open the door and walking in, a jingling wind chime sounded, and a female clerk in a black apron smiled and said hello, "Welcome!"

Shirakawa Kazuya walked into the store, and the mellow sweetness suddenly appeared on the tip of his nose. He observed this cake shop that he had never been to before.Various cakes and pastries are displayed in the window, and colorful fruits are dotted on them. Like the shop assistants here, they all look very cute.

Soft and soothing music was playing in the store. Here, the storm outside seemed to have disappeared, and Shirakawa Kazuya felt a faint calmness in his heart.

"Hello, sir, what would you like to order?" The clerk in a black apron came over and stood beside him, showing a sweet smile.

"Well, I want to buy a birthday cake for my sister. Is there any one on sale now? It's best to get it as soon as possible."

Shirakawa Kazuya's eyes were fixed on the fireplace, which had an electronic screen, and the flames inside were burning brightly.

"Yes, yes, but it needs to be made fresh. Can you wait?" The clerk could tell from the water stains on his body and messy hair that the customer in front of him was a little anxious.

"How long will it take?"

"At the fastest, it will take half an hour."

Shirakawa Kazuya sat down on the chair by the window and nodded to the clerk, "I'll bother you then."

"I will make it as soon as possible. Do you have any requirements for the cake? For example, the taste or style?" The clerk walked back to the counter and began to prepare the ingredients.

"There are no requirements. It's a 15-year-old junior high school girl's birthday. It should be eight inches. Just watch and do it."

Shirakawa Kazuya's incident happened suddenly and he didn't have time to ask Xiangzi which one he wanted, so he could only ask the clerk to make it based on the public's taste.

"Okay, the total is five thousand yen. How do you pay?"

"Cash." Shirakawa Kazuya took out five "Noguchi Hideyo" cards from the inner pocket of his clothes.

Hideyo Noguchi is a Japanese bacteriologist and biologist known as a "national treasure". He is the founder of modern bacteriology in Japan. He caused a sensation in the entire medical community with his publication of many specific pathogens.In order to commemorate him, Japan printed him on the one thousand yen banknote, replacing Natsume Soseki on the old one thousand yen note.

The clerk brought a cup of steaming coffee and placed it in front of Shirakawa Kazuya. He put [-] yen into his pocket and said, "This is a free coffee from our store. It's inconvenient to come here in such a cold weather."

Shirakawa Kazuya smiled bitterly, "It is indeed a bit inconvenient, but there is nothing I can do about it. I forgot the birthday of a very important person. I must do all the remedial measures I can, otherwise I will not be able to forgive myself for my carelessness."

"That person must be very important to you, allowing you to go out in such weather."

The clerk glanced at the branches that were hung up by the strong wind, then walked back to the counter and put the banknotes into the cash register.

"Yes, it is very important to me, she is my sister." Kazuya Shirakawa sipped the coffee, which was bitter in the mouth, but the aftertaste was a little sweet.

"Can you also forget your sister's birthday? Then don't you forget your own birthday?"

The clerk smiled and took out a large glass bowl from the freezer, which contained a white, somewhat frozen solid, probably pre-mixed cake batter.

"No, we just knew each other since childhood and played well together, so we recognized each other as brother and sister. We are not born to the same parents." Perhaps the violent storm outside put a lot of pressure on Shirakawa Kazuya, and he entered the store Behind him, the soothing music, the warm light, the sweet smell and the peaceful environment made his heart relax, and he gradually began to talk more.

"That's right, then why are they brother and sister? They are obviously childhood sweethearts, right?"

The clerk plugged in the oven, poured some of the cake batter into a special bowl, put it in the oven and turned the knob.

"To be honest, I don't know why it happened like this, but it has happened and there is nothing I can do about it."

Shirakawa Kazuya was stunned by what she said, and he could no longer remember how cautious Xiangzi looked when she first came to his home.

When he recalled Xiangzi now, his mind was filled with her happy appearance and sweet smile.

The female clerk was staring intently at the oven, while Shirakawa Kazuya was drinking coffee slowly, with soothing music in his ears, and the raging wind and rain outside the window, so the store became quiet.

"Do you like it?" the female clerk suddenly said.

"Ah?" Baichuan Kazuya didn't understand what the other party was saying.

"I said, do you like this girl you ordered a cake for?" The female clerk looked at the surprised Shirakawa Kazuya and showed a smile.

"Why do you ask?" Shirakawa Kazuya took another sip of coffee and suddenly found that it was not so bitter.

"Don't look at the lack of people now, it's because of the bad weather. Usually there are a lot of customers in our store. Parents order cakes for their children, friends order cakes, or young couples order cakes. There are all kinds of people. So I'm pretty good at judging people, I think you probably like your childhood sweetheart a little bit."

After the clerk finished speaking, Shirakawa Kazuya didn't answer, only the oven was still making a "buzzing" sound.

"I do not know either."

Shirakawa Kazuya stopped looking at her and turned his head to look at the heavy rain outside, but he saw his own face on the glass window. There was also some confusion on that face.

"Young people still have plenty of time! Think carefully about the relationship between the two of you. But let me tell you a secret, young people can easily become real adults in the blink of an eye. By then it will be too late to regret. Time is abundant, but it is also ruthless.”

The clerk looked at Shirakawa Kazuya's handsome face and felt a little envious of the unknown girl.

Shirakawa Kazuya still didn't speak. Do you like it?Will I like Xiangzi?Or is it just a brother taking care of his sister?
When he came to his senses again, the female clerk had already begun to apply cream and frosting on the baked cake.

Shirakawa Kazuya stood up and wandered casually for a few steps in the store, scanning the small cake samples one after another. He walked to the counter and wanted to say something to the clerk, but what should he say?
Said she was just my sister, and my sister said purple was very charming?

"Don't worry, I'll seal the edges of this cake and add some fruit and chocolate to decorate it." The clerk glanced at Shirakawa Kazuya, as if he had forgotten what happened just now.

"Oh, okay." Shirakawa Kazuya retreated again, continuing to stare at the heavy rain outside the window in a daze.

Do you like Xiangzi or not?
Then think about it in another direction, will Xiangzi like me?
