The Foreign Softness

##Chapter 66 Earthquake

After the cake was finished baking, I partially wrapped it for Cindy, then sat at the wooden table of the store while enjoying the bustling market outside and ate while thinking about something.

Tokoku and eating the self-baked cake, my mind also floated, time passed slowly. I put the cake for Cindy in the bag and took her. When I locked the shop door to leave, someone came.

"Excuse me, is this store not making any more cookies? I've been here a few times and haven't seen anyone."

I turned around and saw a young man with a worried expression on his face.

"Sorry, I recently got a new job. I only come here once in a while," I said apologetically.

The man said excitedly, "Because now you are here. Can you make me a cake? Tomorrow my mother will celebrate her 60th birthday. I want to give her an antique cake."

"Eh?"

I want to go back to study, but this guy's eyes are full of hope, so I can't bear to turn him down, "I have to go to work tomorrow, if I bake him now, if I bake him now, can you take it and put it in the fridge all night?"

The man said, "OK, as long as you can bake it. My mom saw the cake you made at her friend's place and she really liked it. She always wanted to get a cake for her birthday."

"All right, I'll make it now."

I am so happy to have a mother who likes me. I turned around and went into the store again.

While I was making a cake, the man sat on the chair and watched with interest while drinking the free juice provided by the store.

When I finished making the cake, the man was very happy, "Wow, it's great, no wonder my mother likes it."

I packed the cake and gave the man a 5% discount, the man happily took the cake and went home.

I took off my mask and my work clothes. I took a long breath. After being busy for a while, I was really tired.

I walked out of the store with a bag of cookies in my hand. When I locked the door, the bag fell to the ground. Before I bent down to pick it up, a pair of hands quickly picked it up and handed it to me, "It's late, why are you still here? Don't you have to study?"

Concerned voice and eyes, the slender hand holding the bag was Candra's hand.

Looking at these familiar eyes, I suddenly raised my hand and slapped her face hard. Then, I stepped away without saying a word.

"You ...."

Candra obviously didn't think I'd slap her straight away. He was still holding a bag of cookies that he had just picked up, but he was stunned and stunned.

Without looking back, I took to the street, hailed a taxi and left the place in a hurry.

I went back to the apartment, I went into the bedroom to calm myself down and focus on reading. Cindy pushed open the door and walked in with a cup of coffee, "Where am I?"

I told him on the phone I'd bring him a cake.

I looked depressed, "It's been eaten by dogs."

"What?"

Cindy was confused.

After a long while, he scolded her, "Where is this greedy dog, even snatching the cake. Don't all dogs eat shit?"

Looking at Cindy's depressed expression, I couldn't help but laugh, "Don't get angry, tomorrow I'll make it again and bring it back for you."

Cindy said: "Yes, good then."

Cindy handed him the coffee and went back to his room. I drank the coffee Cindy made and kept reading.

The next day, Candra and I met again.

When I went out to finish the task, I passed PT. Young Rays. The distance between the two companies was not too far, only 500 meters adrift and the company I was headed to was next to PT. Young Rays.

It was the afternoon and the sun was shining. I covered my head with a handbag and ran all the way. When I passed the PT. Young Rays, Candra just happens to be out of there. As he looked at me, his deep eyes were staring at me like ice arrows.

He said, "Yuwita, stop!"

His voice was low and upset.

I think it was the result of a slap in his face yesterday.

I stopped and looked at him fearlessly in my eyes. Candra stepped quickly towards me, but before I reacted, she grabbed my arm and pulled me into the garage.

He looked at me aggressively, "Say, why did you slap me yesterday?"

I sneered, "You know what that slap meant. Candra, are you trying to cheat my trust with some seduction? Cheih, you are a very evil person, both inside and outside are just as rotten!"

I don't want to care about this person anymore, let alone see this face. I pushed Candra and left without looking back.

Candra's face flushed red, she kicked something hard.

Back then, I had turned off the lights in the shop, suddenly I saw a dark and high shadow, I jumped in fear. I think people who want me dead come to send me to hell again.

When I recognized that person was Candra, I heaved a sigh of relief.

I raised my hand and turned on the light. I tried to turn on the light, but the man suddenly raised his hand and held my hand, his breath very close, "I just want to know what a slap on my face means."

"You once said, you've let go of your grudge, you won't slap me for no reason. Tell me, what's up?"

His clear eyes shone brightly in the dimly lit room.

With a thud from my back, I was pressed against the wall and I said, "Candra, all my life, I hate being lied to. While you are constantly lying to me. You always lie, you'll get a reply!"

"When did I lie to you again?"

Candra put one hand on my shoulder, she was very upset, "Today, you have to explain it to me carefully or none of us will leave!"

"I, Candra, my life, I lied to you, it must be because I wanted to protect you. It doesn't matter you don't understand it, but you even slandered me!"

Candra's eyes were very moody, she looked very sad.

I said, "You and Stella are in bed. Obviously you did it. Stella doesn't know anything. You still pretending to be innocent? You are so shameless!"

In the dim light, Candra's temples pulsed several times and suddenly the blue veins on her forehead appeared. One of his big hands suddenly pinched my chin, "Say, who said this?"

His reaction at this time made me believe even more that what Doni said was true.

I said in a loud voice, "You don't want people to know what you're doing. The shameful thing you made, don't forget it!"

At this moment, I was carried away by anger and humiliation. I forgot the message Stella sent me years ago. He said he and Candra were together all afternoon.

Stella, isn't she unconscious? Why does he know everything? Doni's words were not entirely trustworthy, but right now my thinking was completely irrational. I didn't even notice that obvious gaffe, so I just walked into Doni's trap.

"I didn't do anything despicable. One day, you'll know the truth of everything!"

Candra was obviously very angry, she let me go and turned around.

I said, "Candra, stop acting, no matter if you've done it or not, now we're strangers, I don't want to see you again and I don't want to hear a word from you anymore. You ...."

Before I could say the word "go", suddenly the room shook, followed by an explosive sound. The chandelier broke on the floor, where the cake vibrated and I heard an unknown "pring, prang" fall.

Candra turned around abruptly and pulled me into her arms. He protected my head with both hands, "Forging."

When I heard the word "earthquake", I almost lost my soul. I was completely unaware of what was wrong with my current posture. Candra protected me with her hands and my body trembled in her arms while hearing the sound of falling items.

After about ten seconds, the sound and vibration had stopped. I looked up from Candra's embrace. The streetlight outside was extinguished and the only light in the room had been extinguished. Outside the room was very chaotic, I heard people running and shouting.

"Let's go out."

Candra grabbed my hand and held it tight. I did not resist and followed him quickly to leave the shop that at that time might collapse.

Many people had gathered on the street and there were many people still running out of the compound.

Tokoku is on the first floor and from the second floor to the top are all apartments. At this moment, the residents ran out with his family. Some of them even only wore underwear.

Candra continued to hold my hand tightly, like a couple running away. People gathered in groups talking about the earthquake just now. They said the news had just been released on the Internet. The earthquake was of magnitude five on the Richter scale with a depth of ten kilometers.

So far, no victims have been found.

I was terrified and kept imagining what would happen if the earthquake were a little stronger. Am I going to be crushed to death?

My fingers were gently grasped, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

That voice was a deep and soft sounding Candra. He still holds my hand, just like years ago.

At that moment, he protected me with his body. Although there was no life-threatening danger, it was he who protected me in his arms.

A person's humanity is most testable when times of emergency or life and death are at stake. Sometimes, during an earthquake people can escape safely, but damage the relationship between husband and wife. Wh why? Because when disaster strikes, the husband runs away alone and leaves his wife behind while holding a small child alone and going down with great difficulty.

But Candra, when none of us know how much damage an earthquake will cause, she uses her body to protect me.

I was confused for a while. What kind of heart does this man have?

Candra's phone rang, I heard her calling dad and saying she was fine, then she asked how her family was doing.

I heard him sigh in relief, it seems like his family is all safe.

As she answered the phone, Candra kept holding my hand and did not know why, I did not let go. I heard him suddenly calling, "Julia?"
