Chapter 10 The Countess's Love 2
As the lights came on, Xinggong Academy was decorated with beautiful lights.
Every evening at 10 o'clock, the rose buds in the small garden outside the Earl's Rose Pastry Shop begin to glow, as if fireflies are flying among the flowers.
Walk along the garden path and open the door of the glass house, and the sweet aroma of cake, cocoa powder, cream and chocolate will linger throughout the space.
The dessert ingredients were neatly stacked, and three boys wearing white pastry chef aprons, suits and masks were busy in the cooking room.
I was doing various exercises in the restaurant accompanied by music: lifting my legs, stretching my arms, bending my waist, spinning, jumping...
Why are Xing Yeliu and the others so busy while I am exercising so leisurely?
Back in the day, we were discussing the last three days of operations.
The Earl's Rose Pastry Club will face an unpredictable fate in three days.
What we can do now is to make the most of every minute and every second in these three days to make enough desserts for tasting and experimenting.
"We will stay in the West Point Club for the next three days and won't go anywhere else."
"Xing Chengshou might sabotage it in advance. I heard that he has already contacted the architect to conduct an on-site survey. He will definitely want to remove the thorn in his side, Earl Rose, as soon as possible."
"Alas, even if we can make enough desserts, there are not enough customers to taste them! What a trouble..."
…
"Have you forgotten? There's me too! The big eater girl Lin Weiya!" Seeing their distressed look, I stood up and reminded them by patting my chest.
"Yeah, but you're not immune to magic... er, no, that's a thing of the past!"
Qian Yuefang realized belatedly that I had already returned the necklace that was immune to magic to Xing Yeliu.
"During these three days, please do your best to make desserts! Leave the work of testing the effects of the magic desserts to me!" Seeing Jing Fengyin's worried look, I smiled at him, "Don't you believe in my ability? No matter how many desserts, the big eater girl Wei Ya can make them!"
I think it's time for me to challenge my limits!
"Viya, I really want Meiyin to get better, but the premise is not at the expense of any of you. If you feel that you can't hold on, you must tell me, okay?"
Jing Fengyin asked me to promise.
"Okay, I'm fine!"
I winked at him and held out my hand.
"It's decided. Let's work hard together!"
"good!"
"And I!"
Jing Fengyin's hand covered mine, Qian Yuefang quickly reached out her hand as well, and finally, we both looked at Xing Yeliu who was frowning at the side.
"of course."
He put his hand on all of ours.
"One, two, three, let's go!"
"Wait, Lin Weiya, what's wrong with your hand?"
Xing Yeliu's brows, which had been relaxed, furrowed tightly again, and his eyes fell on my injured arm. I had been hiding it behind my back before, so they didn't notice it. Now that I stretched it out, they saw it.
"Ah! Xiao Wei Ya, there are bloodstains on your arm."
"Where? Let me see..."
"Haha, well, I was accidentally scratched by the thorns in the bushes this morning. It's just a minor wound. I can just put on a Band-Aid!" I waved my hands and said indifferently.
"Lin Weiya, do you still remember that you are a girl? How can a girl's skin injury be treated casually? Come with me to apply medicine!"
"Xing Yeliu, I'm really fine!"
"Viya, you should go with Liu first, otherwise he won't be able to make desserts with peace of mind..."
"There's no time like the present. Let's take care of your injury first."
In the end, I was dragged away by the huge iceberg Xingye Liu.
So, this is the situation now.
After taking care of the abrasions and preparing enough dessert-making materials and transporting them to the Earl's Rose Pastry Shop, the three of them were busy making them, while I started warming up before the big meal.
The tables at the Earl's Rose Pastry Club were put together in a long strip, like a buffet restaurant . Every time a dessert was prepared, they would present it quickly, and leave one person to watch me test the magic.
On the first night, they served new desserts: hazelnut chocolate biscuits, blueberry cheese, red bean almond rolls, chocolate gardenia crisps, hazelnut butter white chocolate cake, chocolate soft-core pudding, orange blossom Swiss roll, blueberry milk pudding, mille-feuille coffee bag, vanilla mocha mousse...
Nearly 50 desserts!
After the improvement of short-term memory, the fragrance of flowers, and the magic of skin beautification, I was lucky enough to experience——
"I don't know why I just want to laugh" Magic Chocolate Gardenia Crunch Candy : I looked at Xing Yeliu who was staring at me expressionlessly across from me and laughed for a long time;
"My hair is orange today" Magic Orange Swiss Curl: I had orange hair, orange eyebrows, and orange eyelashes that looked very postmodern, and Qian Yuefang, who was laughing so hard, took many photos with me as a model;
The "Sleepyheads Go Away" magic mille-feuille coffee bag: It tastes great and can make me energetic and clear-headed without making me sleepy at all;
The magic chocolate sweetheart pudding of "a human girl who bounces back when touched": I didn't feel anything unusual at first, until Jing Fengyin slapped me and it bounced back violently, and if I jumped up, my head would hit the ceiling and keep bouncing...
In short, my stomach enjoyed the delicious food and was very happy, but my heart and my body were also exhausted by these strange magic powers. Fortunately, these magic powers did not last too long, and a dessert that could eliminate the magic effect of the previous dessert - the "Magic Elimination" sea salt soda biscuits was developed. After each dessert, I only needed to eat a piece of "Magic Elimination " sea salt soda biscuits, and I could happily carry out the next dessert experiment.
Unfortunately, none of the desserts tried this time had anything to do with the magic of healing.
I patted Jing Fengyin on the shoulder, continued to cheer her up, and encouraged each other, and continued on the second night.
On the second night, the desserts they served included yogurt orange jelly, rainbow donuts, vanilla puff pastry, cherry cheese, mango pancakes, durian mousse, pumpkin cake, milk muffins, tiramisu, double-color ice cream, Portuguese egg tarts...
At my strong request, today's desserts increased to 60 servings.
So, I experienced some strange magic again with pain and joy——
The magic pumpkin cake of "Involuntary Truth": After eating it, I regarded Xingye Liu opposite me as a pumpkin that could tell his thoughts, and I couldn't help but say some of my inner thoughts, "Xingye Liu, you are very beautiful when you are not angry", "Sometimes my heart beats so fast when I see your face", "You must have been a penguin in Antarctica in your previous life, so you were not frostbitten by the cold air you released", "It would be nice if you could make desserts for me every day"... These were all recorded by Qian Yuefang and played back to me, which made me unable to look Xingye Liu directly at him anymore.
The magic rainbow donut of "Your eyes have 7 colors": Without wearing contact lenses, my eyes can change into 7 colors within two seconds, including red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple. I can get any color I want.
The magic of Portuguese egg tarts with “automatic language mode switching”: the language I spoke turned into a language I had never heard of before. According to Jing Fengyin, this should be an unpopular language on a small island in the Mediterranean.
"Your body temperature is -7℃" Magical Two-color Ice Cream: I found myself turning into a block of ice... Well, I think this dessert might be useful when I confront Xing Yeliu in the future to see who is colder...
But, again, at the end of the second night, after I had eaten all the desserts and tested the magic, I didn't find any desserts related to healing magic.
Jing Fengyin was depressed for a while, and when he saw that we were all looking at him worriedly, he forced a smile and comforted us, saying, "It's okay, there's still one day left, we still have a chance."
Finally, it was the last night.
During the day, Xing Chengshou had called us many times. He asked us to hand in the masks before today, but we did not do so and continued to stay in the West Point Club.
He sent people to put up isolation fences to block off the area where Earl Rose was.
Xing Yeliu didn't want to be bombarded with text messages from him anymore, so she simply turned off her phone.
I took a look at the concerned inquiries from my roommates in the dormitory WeChat group.
"Viya, Viya, where have you been?"
"The teacher and the principal's secretary have come to the dormitory to look for you. Is there anything wrong with you?"
"They also said if you don't come back, you will be suspended..."
…
I simply replied to their WeChat messages, telling them that I was fine and that I just had to finish something before I could go back. As for those notifications, I ignored them for the time being and turned off my phone.
"Today is the last night, let's fight to the last second!"
"Well, you can take more today. I haven't reached my limit yet..."
I looked at them with a smile.
Even 10 more will do!
10 more copies means 10 more hopes!
Even though... Actually, I felt a little reluctant yesterday, and afterwards I secretly took stomach medicine in the bathroom.
Even if you are a big eater, it is difficult to stick to eating such high-sugar and high-calorie foods for several days in a row.
"Viya, thank you for your hard work. Please don't force yourself..."
Jing Fengyin was a little anxious, but still reminded me with concern.
"It's okay, I can do it! 70 desserts, come on!"
I shook my head at him, smiled and made an OK sign. Xing Yeliu's eyes swept over me and fell on my pocket. I subconsciously raised my hand to cover it - there was my stomach medicine.
How come Xing Yeliu is so sharp? His eyes are like radar!
Feeling a little guilty, I lowered my head, walked around Xing Yeliu, ran to the dining table, and urged them to go back to the cooking room to prepare dessert.
"Everyone, hurry up! It's less than 9 hours until 7am..."
Tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, at dawn, Xing Chengshou should bring people to force us to leave Earl Rose.
