Fang Rufan watched as the hands holding the birthday cake trembled in the darkness.
She quickly made a wish and then blew out the candle in one breath.
"Okay, turn on the lights now."
She knew that her roommates must have conspired to turn off the power from outside, causing the power outage.
The fluorescent lights are turned on.
"Oh my! You're all soaked to the bone? Didn't you use umbrellas? Quickly grab some dry towels to dry yourselves off, then go take a hot shower."
Bedo's legs trembled as she said, "I used your thousand-layered umbrella, and it didn't get wet."
Fang Rufan looked and saw that the six people were soaked to the bone, but the cake was clean, with not a trace of rain on the tray.
She was deeply moved; it turned out that everyone hadn't forgotten, but rather wanted to give her a surprise.
etc!
What did she say?!
What is that?!
Crepe cake?!
That was the 50-yuan crepe cake she couldn't bear to buy, right?
"Aaaaaah!!!"
"I'm insane!!!"
How did you know I wanted to eat this mille-feuille?!
"This is so expensive! Fifty yuan a piece! I couldn't bear to buy it!"
Fang Rufan rolled around on the bed, hugging a pillow.
"I love you all so much! Just looking at you here makes me smell the rich fruity aroma! I can't even imagine how delicious it must be!"
Bedou continued, shaking off the water droplets, "You are the youngest member of our dormitory, and our older sisters spoil you!"
Fang Rufan: "Waaaah, I love my sisters! Go take a hot bath, and once you're all done, we'll all eat mille-feuille together!"
Several minutes later...
The birthday girl, Fang Rufan, shared the thousand-layer cake with the other girls in her dormitory.
Bedo chose a cool black mulberry mille-feuille.
"This one has a sweet and cool vibe, and its color scheme is just perfect for me."
"This jam is absolutely gorgeous, a perfect blend of the sweet and sour flavors of blueberries and mulberries, paired with this pink cream that I don't know what it's made of. It feels like a multitude of fruits are bursting in your mouth."
Ning Zhi also tried this one, and she couldn't help but shake her head and say, "Thanks to Fanfan, I was able to eat such an exquisite mille-feuille. Its beauty is not only in its appearance, but its interior is even more surprising."
"This cream really has the sweet feeling of eating ice cream. Each layer is full of rich fruit flavor, and this mille-feuille is so thin! When you eat it, it blends completely with the cream and melts in your mouth. How is this done? It's like a work of art."
Fang Rufan chose the mango passion fruit mille-feuille, which she had always wanted to eat.
The birthday celebrant exclaimed, "Ah! I knew it! It must be delicious! My allowance is almost gone, so I haven't been able to bring myself to buy a piece to try. But I saw the owner enjoying this mille-feuille so much that it made my mouth water. Apparently, this mille-feuille has fifty layers, each as thin as a cicada's wing."
Bedo: "Yes, yes, yes! I can taste it. I can tell from this mille-feuille that the owner's skills are top-notch."
Fang Rufan ate one piece of the mille-feuille pastry after another, and finished it in no time.
"Eating this mille-feuille gave me a refreshing feeling, like summer is here. It's definitely not enough, ladies!"
Everyone ate quickly, and after finishing, they all looked at the two remaining mille-feuille pieces on their plates.
"To eat or not to eat?"
Ning Zhi: "Isn't it easy to gain weight if you eat so many desserts at night?"
"Don't be afraid, things will work themselves out in the end, and I'll naturally lose weight in June."
"Today's happiness cannot be given tomorrow, but tomorrow will bring its own happiness."
"Why do experts recommend eating only 70% full at dinner, leaving 30% for a late-night snack?"
"Girls who love to eat are usually lucky, because food brings good fortune."
"Ignore weight, consider food everything!"
Ning Zhi: "...I only asked one question, and you all gave me one, making so many excuses for yourselves?"
"What else is there to say? Talking too much will only make your mouth water. Let's hurry up and share it and finish eating!"
--------------------
The rain continued for another half hour.
The rain stopped at nine o'clock in the evening, and Qin Yi's stall was greeted by many unfamiliar customers.
They all appear to be students from this school.
Without even asking the price, they picked up their phones and scanned the QR code, with two mille-feuille cakes per person being the standard order.
When they were almost sold out, Qin Yi asked a classmate curiously, "How come you all seem to know that they sell mille-feuille here?"
The student replied, "Food spreads fastest among girls. No matter where there's good food near the school, the whole school will share the information. It's been raining a lot tonight, so not many people have come yet. Some of you may not have seen the message. Boss, you should pay attention tomorrow and make sure to stock up on more."
What this classmate said is true. When Bedo's roommates posted the mille-feuille they bought today on their WeChat Moments, they were questioned by their classmates and friends.
Where did you guys go again, 202? This is a French crepe cake! Where did you buy it? Is it good?
[I just learned this is called a French mille-feuille! I bought it from a green dessert cart at the back of the school. The taste is amazing; you'll lick the plate clean after you finish it.]
【Huh? I just came back from there and didn't see it. Should I still be able to buy it tomorrow?】
[Hehe, the boss said they'll be selling different flavors tomorrow; these two are discontinued!]
[Ah, that's a real blow! No worries, I'm sure tomorrow's food will be just as delicious. What time does the boss usually come in?]
I arrived there around 7 a.m. today. The owner seemed to have just arrived; the mille-feuille on the food cart was still neatly arranged.
OK, let's go kill them tomorrow!
At this moment, Lu Ziyi, a student in dormitory 406 of Nanjing University, also saw Beiduoer's WeChat Moments.
#My birthday is in 11 months, so having a birthday mille-feuille beforehand isn't too much to ask, right?#
Lu Ziyi quickly replied: 【Not at all, not at all. The mille-feuille is just as sweet as you, making one's heart flutter】
The elderly woman on the subway looked at the reply from the student from Nanjing University.
"Is this guy praising me, praising the food, or is this just typical of a player's tactics?"
Fang Rufan's keen hearing allowed her to detect the scent of gossip.
She quickly rushed to Bedor's phone to check: "Where is Aquaman? Where is he? Let me see if he's handsome!"
After searching through Lu Ziyi's WeChat Moments, Beiduoer finally found a photo of him grinning from ear to ear, holding a plate of bright red roast suckling pig...
Fang Rufan: "Uh... I think this brother has a kind and honest face, even a bit simple-minded. Have all the playboys changed their style now?"
Bedouin: "Little sister, you can't judge a book by its cover, you know? Look at the frivolous messages he left me. He never chats with me privately, he just pops up in my Moments and says ambiguous things. This kind of person is casting a wide net, looking for hidden targets."
