Against Fate (Eternal Love of Dream/Pillow Book FanFic)

73. All I Want For Christmas Is You

For the next few hours, they managed to get some Christmas cookies and candies. Feng Jiu also bought some mini Christmas gift bags so that she could pack candies into it and give them to her friends.

"Do I get one too?" Dong Hua asked Feng Jiu. She pouted and replied sarcastically, "You don't get any because you're mean to me!"

"Oh? Guess I'll have to steal all your candies when you come to work with me then." Dong Hua replied sarcastically.

"No! I request for a personal cabinet where I could lock my snacks in there." Feng Jiu folded her arms.

"Oh? I thought you said that we could share snacks? Guess you're a greedy glutton after all." Dong Hua looked at her with his side-eyes.

"Fine! You get one packet of my Christmas candies. No stealing of mine!" Feng Jiu pouted again.

"Okay. But can I also have the milk candy?" Dong Hua smiled.

"Hmm... I'd reward you with one whole packet of milk candy if I managed to get into the second round of the competition. But you can't cheat and play favouritism! I want to win it by my own accord."

"Deal." Dong Hua smiled warmly at Feng Jiu.

Feng Jiu and Dong Hua then went into a cake shop. "Which log cake do you want, Xiao Bai?" Dong Hua asked. Feng Jiu then looked through the catalogues and pointed out to the Chocolate Yule Log Cake, "This one."

The cashier then informed them that all the log cakes were sold out and they won't be able to make a new one as well.

Feng Jiu frowned and Dong Hua said to her, "It's okay, Xiao Bai. The central plaza is huge, and I'm sure we could find it somewhere else." Then they left the cake shop, and they tried finding another shop.

----------------------------------------

After searching through a few cake shops, they were still unable to get a Yule Log Cake. Feng Jiu looked on sadly while others came to collect their reserved Log cakes.

"I'll get one for you, Xiao Bai. Trust me." Dong Hua said. Then he stopped a couple from leaving the store. "I'll pay you three times of whatever amount you paid for this Log Cake." Dong Hua said to the guy.

The guy hesitated and replied, "But... We reserved this cake two weeks ago. I mean, it's not about the money... but..."

Dong Hua then turned over to see Feng Jiu frowning and staring at the Log Cakes that were displayed in the fridge.

Dong Hua then lied to the guy, "I understand. But my girlfriend comes from another city, and this is our first time spending Christmas together. She loves Log Cake, and she specially flew over here to surprise me tonight. I'll pay you any amount if you could let me have that log cake."

The girl then convinced her boyfriend to let Dong Hua have the cake. "Yes, let that guy have the cake. I'm not even a big fan of log cake. Just look at his girlfriend frowning and staring at the cake. It's their first time spending Christmas too."

Then the couple decided to sell the log cake to Dong Hua at the original price, but Dong Hua still paid them three times the amount. "Thank you. My girlfriend would be so happy." Dong Hua said calmly, and the couple left the store.

Dong Hua held on to the cake and walked towards Feng Jiu. "This is for you, Xiao Bai." Feng Jiu immediately had a huge smile on her face. "How did you get that?! We have a log cake now!"
