"Why are you in line? Do you even know what they're selling?"
The boy shook his head, but his expression was urgent. "I don't know what they're selling, but I know who's selling it. My mom bought me a boxed lunch before, the one you guys were fighting over, remember?"
The group exchanged glances and nodded vigorously, remembering that boxed lunch vividly.
It was absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, I later heard from my aunt that the owner no longer sells boxed lunches.
"That Shi Yi?"
Some time ago, someone exposed her identity online. They also looked into it and learned that she wasn't selling boxed lunches this week, which broke their hearts.
What did she sell this week?
"I don't know, I didn't notice."
They've been too busy these past few days, and they haven't paid attention since they found out the boxed meals weren't being sold anymore.
"If you don't know what to sell, why are you queuing up?"
The boy replied while eating a scallion pancake, "Who cares, as long as it tastes good."
At that moment, the girl in front of them overheard their conversation, turned around and said, "Don't you know? Boss Shi is selling cakes this week!"
"Cake?" they all exclaimed in unison.
"Then I'll take it away, I don't like it."
"Me too, what are we guys supposed to eat if girls are eating this kind of food?"
"Are you sure? Look, there are quite a few boys in line ahead of us. This cake is loved by people of all ages!" The girl pointed to the line ahead.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it, and what you find is astonishing.
"Why are there so many boys lining up to buy a cake?!"
"Why do I think I see even elderly people queuing up?"
"Where did they all come from?" The back street of the school seemed to be busiest at this time of year.
The whole street was much more crowded, and it was difficult to walk.
"Hey, are you guys queuing or not? If not, let us queue. Don't all be here."
The boy who was eating a scallion pancake immediately said, "I'm going to queue up anyway. I'm going home tonight anyway, so I'll bring two portions back for my mom and my sister."
The group realized what was happening and stood in line, saying, "Line up, line up, we'll line up."
Whether it's delicious or not, you'll know once you try it. Although I'm not a fan of cake, I might as well give it a try for the sake of the boxed lunch.

Wen Xingyue Studio.
"Bring a Black Forest cake and a blueberry cake to my lounge. The rest can be shared among everyone."
After entering the company building, Wen Xingyue told his assistant Wu Ming and then went to the lounge.
Not long after, the assistant brought in the cake and then left.
Wen Xingyue looked at the cake in front of him
It's strange, this cake is so much to his liking.
He only ate one serving, but he's been craving it ever since.
He even went so far as to wait at someone's doorstep, which was completely unlike him, yet he genuinely wanted to eat there.
He used to be annoyed that Wen Xingnian kept talking about wanting to eat cake, but now he finally understands.
It would be a bit unreasonable to say I don't want to eat such a delicious cake.
This time, he decided to try the Black Forest flavor.
Wen Xingyue gently scraped the surface of the Black Forest cake with a fork, and chocolate shavings fell onto the white porcelain plate.
When you put the cake in your mouth, the first taste is the slight bitterness of cocoa spreading on your tongue. It's not strong, but it just balances out the sweetness of the cream underneath.
The cake base seemed to have been soaked in rum, carrying a subtle mellowness. Intertwined with the cool cream, it slowly melted in the mouth, creating a warm and smooth texture.
He lowered his eyes, chewing slowly and savoring each bite, his eyelashes casting faint shadows beneath his eyes. His lips, usually tightly pursed, were now almost imperceptibly softer. After swallowing the last bite, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He reached for a tissue to wipe his mouth, his gaze lingering on the mostly empty plate for two seconds before looking away.
