Osmanthus Cake
"Hello. My name is Lin Meimei." Lin Meimei also greeted Xueluo very politely, and even couldn't help but glance at Xueluo a few more times, perhaps a little surprised that Xie Wan was so well behaved in front of her. In a flash, she had a hunch that this sister in front of them, who was not much older than them, must be extraordinary!
"Hello Meimei, I'm Xueluo." Xueluo directly turned off the light screen projected by the intelligent computer and said with a smile.
"It just so happens that the store has some new pastries and cakes today. Would you like to try some?"
Xie Wan's eyebrows immediately lit up, "Great, I'm a little hungry!"
My best friend is not the type to like snacks, and she is particularly picky when it comes to food.
"Sister Luoluo, can you pack up some of the chocolates I've tried before when I leave? By the way, Meimei wants to try some too!" It's not known whether Lin Meimei can enjoy the added benefits of chocolate, but the added benefits of chocolate can beautify the skin, and no girl can refuse it.
Xie Wan doesn't want Lin Meimei to miss it!
"no problem!"
Lin Meimei had noticed something strange since entering the store, so she was paying close attention to their expressions. Wanwan actually respected this sister so much?
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Wan leaned over and asked when Xue Luo went to get things for them.
Lin Meimei asked quietly, "How long have you known this sister?"
Xie Wan quickly understood what she really wanted to ask. She said with interest, "But I don't want to tell you yet."
Lin Meimei: "...Okay."
"Okay!" Xue Luo brought the things over quickly. Yes, it was the Chinese dim sum that has been very popular recently, including osmanthus cake, peach blossom cake, chestnut cake, chrysanthemum cake, etc. There are more than ten kinds, all of which are individually packaged in the same style, which is probably about three bites for an ordinary girl. The packaging is exquisite and elegant, and the dim sum is small and cute.
Xueluo brought two of each flavor and gave them to them to try: "Don't be polite, this is Sister Luoluo's treat."
"Ah, Sister Luoluo, then... I won't be polite." Xie Wan was also very curious whether she could get additional benefits from eating these snacks.
"Is this a snack?" The packaging of these snacks was elegant and beautiful, very different from the usual Alliance snacks. The first sight of the appearance made one curious about what was inside.
Lin Meimei asked a silly question, so Xie Wan gave her a look of "what else?"
"Try it?" Xueluo was very friendly and was looking forward to their feedback.
Lin Meimei didn't hesitate this time. She set her eyes on the cakes on the table. The light yellow one with slender chrysanthemum stamens was osmanthus cake, the tender pink one was peach blossom cake, and the elegant and light green one was lotus cake...
She thought to herself, so they are all flower-shaped pastries?
It’s not that I haven’t eaten various kinds of flower-decorated pastries, but looking at their packaging, they are definitely different from the high-end pastries I’ve eaten.
She stretched out a hand, but began to struggle over which one to eat first.
"I think this one's good." Xie Wan, on the other hand, quickly found her own goal. She directly took out the osmanthus cake from the packaging. She swiftly opened the package and was immediately struck by the pale yellow color and diamond-shaped patterned surface of the cake. "It's so beautiful!"
Even a girl like Xie Wan, who was always reluctant to give herself praise, couldn't help but say this.
She raised her head towards Lin Meimei and said, "Then I'll try it first."
Lin Meimei said, "Hmm. Then I'll try this peach blossom cake too." As she said this, she subconsciously glanced at Xueluo beside her. Xueluo looked at them with a smile and said, "Let me get you a drink. How about the Assam milk tea, the best-selling product in the store lately?"
Xie Wan, who was tasting osmanthus cake, nodded. Lin Meimei was caught by her gaze and felt an inexplicable pressure. Of course, she nodded immediately.
Lin Meimei also opened the packaging of the peach blossom cake in her hand, and then her eyes lit up. She originally thought that it should be similar to the osmanthus cake, but she didn't expect it to be a beautiful pastry in the shape of a real peach blossom, light pink, and faintly smelled a light sweet peach blossom fragrance.
She brought it to her mouth and took a small bite.
The texture was exceptionally delicate, unlike any other pastry she'd ever tasted. It was hard to describe, and the faint fragrance of peach blossoms lingered between her lips and teeth. Before she knew it, she'd finished the entire piece of peach blossom cake, her tongue lingering on the unique flavor.
As she ate, even her mood became much lighter, like a peach petal floating towards the vast blue sky.
But at this moment, Lin Meimei suddenly discovered something unusual.
Is she dazzled?
I saw a line of text in front of me: [Item: Peach Blossom Cake
Additional status: Mood +5, Confidence +1]
At that moment, her heart was also in ups and downs!
This is exactly the same as the status bar in the game!
"What is this! I saw some words!" Lin Meimei said subconsciously, her voice was soft, and she turned her head to look at her best friend beside her as if asking, unable to hide her excitement.
"Shh!" Xie Wan seemed to have guessed why she was so excited at this moment. He glanced at Xue Luo who was already walking over, hinting her to speak in a low voice.
Then Xie Wan blinked her eyes, looking a little naughty.
"Here, this is milk tea, not iced." Xue Luo also came over and handed a bottle to each of them. Feeling Xie Wan's surprised expression, she thought something had happened.
"What's wrong? Is this pastry not to your taste?"
Lin Meimei didn't know how to answer the question. It seemed that at this moment, the text that showed the status disappeared.
She was speechless, not knowing whether she should talk about the illusion that had just appeared before her eyes. But when she put it to her lips, she thought of Xie Wan's hint just now, and had to say: "No, it's very delicious! I want to try it again."
"Okay. Then you guys continue eating, I'll go to the warehouse in the back to get some chocolate for Wanwan." It happened that they just found out that the chocolate was gone, and since people around here didn't like it very much, Xue Luo just opened a bag and sold it loose. Now it happened to be out of stock, so taking the opportunity to go to the small warehouse in the back was fake, and the real purpose was to go to the system store in the back to purchase goods in order to avoid being noticed!
As soon as Xueluo left, Lin Meimei couldn't help but look at Xie Wan: "Wanwan?"
"Have another one!" Xie Wan pushed the osmanthus cake that she had just tasted to her hand.
Lin Meimei didn't know what her best friend was keeping secret.
But when I thought about the magical words that had just appeared, although they were words I didn't recognize, the moment I saw them, I could actually translate them directly into the Alliance language!
So amazing!
It made her wonder if she was hallucinating!
If she was eating this pastry alone and this situation occurred, she would definitely feel this way without thinking too much, but it was obvious that Wanwan knew it.
Facing Xie Wan's gaze, Lin Meimei opened the osmanthus cake, took a bite, and her eyes lit up. The taste was completely different from the peach blossom cake.
The light fragrance of osmanthus leaves a smooth and dense feeling between the lips and teeth, so rich that it seems to fill the throat with its fragrance.
Of course, at this moment, she was more concerned about the text that appeared in front of her than its taste: [Item: Osmanthus Cake
Additional status: Artistic Spirituality +1, Observation +3]
