Chapter 21: Regretting It Now?

Study.

After Shen Jingxiu placed the small cake and documents he was holding on the table, he immediately turned around to close the door.

He had a small hobby that grew more private as he got older: he actually loved all kinds of small cakes.

He had liked them since he was a child, but ever since his grandfather frowned and said, "Why does a boy like sweet things so much? You should focus on your studies," he hid this small passion.

Whenever his mother and his young sister ate small cakes, he could only silently watch and pretend to be uninterested.

Over time, everyone believed he didn't like these treats, and they never offered to share with him.

Sweet desserts used to be Shen Zhirou's favorite, but after she fell ill and left, even though Su Yang also liked sweets, such foods never appeared at home again.

After her return, Shen Zhirou seemed to have lost this liking; today was the first time in many years that he had seen dessert after a meal at home.
