Sitting in the shop eating cake
The stories of Hoshino that Eichi told her, those heartwarming memories, made her heart feel as soft as if it were wrapped in honey.
"Shall we go to that newly opened cake shop today?" Xinyu suggested softly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "I heard their strawberry cake is especially amazing, as sweet as the wild strawberries we picked in Hoshino."
Yingzhi's lips curled up slightly as she pulled a small tin box from her pocket: "I brought Hoshino's wild honey, perfect for the cake." The lid of the box was engraved with Hoshino's latitude and longitude, which intersected perfectly with the coordinates of Singapore, just like their love that transcended time and space.
"Welcome!" The wind chimes tinkled as the two pushed open the glass door of "Sweet Time" cake shop. The shop was filled with a faint aroma of cream, and the walls were adorned with pictures of various cakes, from classic strawberry cakes to creative chocolate lava cakes, each one making one's mouth water.
"Please have a seat, gentlemen!" The waiter smiled and led them to a seat by the window, where sunlight streamed through the glass and dappled the wooden tabletop with warm dappled light.
"I want this strawberry cake." Xinyu pointed to one on the menu, which was covered with fresh strawberries and cream, and looked both tempting and cute.
Yingzhi nodded: "I want a chocolate lava cake, with the wild honey you brought."
The waiter quickly brought over the cake and coffee. On Xinyu's strawberry cake, the strawberries were vibrant red and juicy, the cream smooth and creamy; every bite was infused with the delicate fragrance of strawberries and the sweetness of cream. She gently scooped up a spoonful and fed it to Yingzhi: "Try this, it's very sweet."
Eichi took a bite, and cream got on the corner of his mouth. Shin-yu couldn't help but laugh and gently wiped it off with a tissue. This reminded her of when Eichi played "Hoshino Renka" for her by the campfire in Hoshino, the moonlight shining on his focused profile, which also carried a touch of tenderness.
"Now, we can make even more exquisite cakes together." Xinyu smiled, her eyes filled with happiness.
Youngji gently took her hand: "Yes, our love, like this cake, is getting sweeter and sweeter."
He picked up the chocolate lava cake, cut it open, and rich chocolate sauce slowly oozed out, perfectly blending with the sweet aroma of wild honey. He gently scooped up a spoonful and fed it to Xinyu's lips: "Try this, it's very special."
Xinyu took a bite, and the combination of chocolate and honey made her eyes light up: "It's really delicious!"
After finishing their cake, the two walked out of the bakery. The setting sun cast long shadows of them. Xinyu leaned on Yingzhi's shoulder and whispered, "Today was truly a perfect day."
Yingzhi's lips curled into a slight smile: "Yes, it seems our love story has a new chapter to read."
Their joy lingered in the shop, a sweet feeling spreading across their faces. They shared so many things they did together, from romance to trips, from eating cake together to the sweetness of their first kiss. Now, in the cozy moments at the cake shop, their love has taken on a new dimension.
"Yingzhi," Xinyu whispered, "thank you for making every day so sweet."
Yingzhi smiled and gently kissed her forehead: "Because of you, my world is so complete."
Under the starry sky of Yumenosaki, their love story will never end, like a sweet ballad, gently sung through time.
