Chapter 10 The Countess's Love 3
Everyone probably knew that it was the last night, so everyone in the West Pastry Club gave their best.
Qian Yuefang first presented me with a piece of cherry blossom cheese brownie. The sweet taste and sweet and fragrant smell made me feel like I was walking in a cherry blossom forest, bathing in the fragrance of flowers and singing a beautiful cherry blossom song, which made the listeners feel relaxed and comfortable;
Jing Fengyin brought a light matcha cheesecake with a refreshing taste, just like taking a nap on the beach; I waved my arms, and a light green wind blew, making the bells on the Earl's Rose gate jingle.
Xingye Liu served a visually gorgeous chocolate cherry cake, the rich sweet taste seemed to melt the tip of the tongue, and its magic turned out to be that it turned me into a miniature man, and Xingye Liu placed me in the palm of his hand, looking at the world of "giants" with surprise and novelty;
There is also the magic orange jelly that says “your body disappears into the air”. Within 5 seconds of eating it, I melted into the air.
There is also the magic honey bean toast that says "every word you say is sweet", and the magic Baileys toasted walnut cake that says "why not dance together"...
Time slips away every second.
I am pushing my limits little by little.
10 copies, 20 copies, 30 copies, 40 copies...
I ate my dessert more slowly, and everyone looked at the time more and more, with their brows furrowed more and more.
A hint of pale sky appeared on the horizon, and the light in the rose garden gradually dimmed.
Finally, when I was eating the 63rd dessert, I accidentally vomited it.
"vomit--"
The stomach's capacity seemed to have reached its limit.
"Lin Weiya——"
Xing Yeliu was the first to notice that something was wrong with me.
I hurriedly picked up a tissue to cover my mouth, trying to stop myself from vomiting.
Jing Fengyin saw my reaction, rushed over and held my hand: "Enough, enough, Wei Ya..."
"I, I can still hold on a little longer - ugh -"
I waved my hands at Jing Fengyin, but I couldn't stop vomiting.
"No, that's enough, Wei Ya, you've done enough for me!"
Jing Fengyin grabbed my other hand, stopping me from reaching for the next dessert.
I could only cover my mouth with one hand and shake my head at him.
The sick feeling in my stomach rose up, but I tried hard to suppress it.
"Don't risk your life, idiot."
Xing Yeliu brought me a glass of water, then took out the stomach medicine I had hidden from my pocket and handed it to me.
"Xiao Wei Ya, what's wrong with you?"
Qian Yuefang realized something was wrong and ran out of the kitchen with white flour on her hands.
I took the stomach medicine that Xing Yeliu handed to me, swallowed it with water, and then I felt a little better.
Jing Fengyin let go of my hand and stood aside.
I looked at them with tears in my eyes: "I'm sorry..."
There are still 3 desserts left on the long table that have not been tasted——
Xingyeliu's chocolate mousse, Jingfengyin's low-sugar lemon waffles, Qianyuefang's strawberry and starry sky Thousand Layer Tower...
Guilt surged up from my heart like a tide.
"You have done nothing to let me down. You know, Wei Ya, you are the cutest and most hardworking girl I have ever met." Jing Fengyin said to me gently. His eyes were filled with loss and sadness, but he still comforted me.
"Don't blame yourself, Xiao Weiya, you did a great job. These three days... have been so hard for you." Qian Yuefang looked at the empty plates, turned her head and said to me sincerely.
"But we haven't experimented with a dessert that can save Meiyin yet!"
I answered them with sobs.
If I could eat more, be more powerful...
"In this world, there are always things that cannot be accomplished no matter how hard you try." Jing Fengyin smiled faintly, but she seemed like an elf that was about to dissipate in the air. "Not all efforts will be rewarded, and not all efforts will bring good results, but you accompanied me to the last second... Although the miracle did not happen, I have no resentment in my heart.
"Thank you, Liu, Yue, and Wei Ya. Thank you for accompanying me until the end without any regrets. I think I will also accompany Meiyin in this way, at least to let her spend the last second of her life without any regrets..."
After Jing Fengyin finished speaking, an aura of dejection and despair instantly enveloped him. He slowly turned around and went to get his clothes.
The miracle we prayed for did not happen.
He was about to leave the West Pastry Club and go to the hospital to accompany Meiyin.
We stood there stiffly, staring at him in silence.
An indescribable, oppressive atmosphere quietly spread in this space.
“Squeak…”
Suddenly, there was a sound of debugging of the loudspeaker equipment outside.
"Hello, hello...Okay, Principal, this speaker is ready for use."
A familiar female voice came.
Jing Fengyin stopped, turned around, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the West Point Club first.
Xing Yeliu and I looked at each other and walked towards the window. Qian Yuefang followed with a frown.
"Listen up everyone inside, you have 30 minutes to leave the Earl's Rose Pastry Club!"
Outside the Earl Rose Garden, the principal's secretary, the principal Xing Chengshou, and a group of people wearing safety helmets, holding surveying tools, and wearing white chef uniforms stood there.
Xing Chengshou was holding a loudspeaker and shouting.
"Xing Yeliu, Jing Fengyin, Qian Yuefang, the location of your club has entered the key planning and construction of Xinggong Academy in the next five years. Please leave quickly and cooperate with our clearing work..."
"Repeat it, please..."
"Unbearable!"
Qian Yuefang fiercely tore off her apron and rushed out of the West Pastry Club despite our attempts to stop her. She stood in the rose garden and yelled at the people outside.
"I just won't leave! You can push us in if you want to, and kick us out if you want to. Do you think you are God?"
"You...you come out here, Qian Yuefang..."
Xing Chengshou was so angry that he could hardly speak clearly. He stood on tiptoe and pointed at Qian Yuefang with trembling fingers.
The secretary quickly supported Xing Chengshou, and then signaled his men to rush in and capture Qian Yuefang.
Qian Yuefang saw through their thoughts, snorted with disdain, and immediately returned to the West Point Club.
Those who had stepped in with a trembling foot immediately retreated .
"Go in and arrest him! Arrest him!"
Xing Chengshou was so angry that he cursed loudly.
"Principal, that, that is the legendary cursed land..." those people said in fear.
"Okay, I'll see how long they can stay in that damn place!"
Xing Chengshou stamped his feet in anger, picked up the loudspeaker again, and shouted into the room: "If you have the guts, stay in this cursed place forever! Otherwise, I will settle accounts with you one by one..."
…
Xingcheng was standing outside shouting and yelling, while we stayed inside the house.
Obviously, the hope of finding the healing magic dessert has been shattered, and it is obvious that we can just leave here to protect ourselves, but at this time, no one said they wanted to leave.
Even Jing Fengyin who wanted to leave at the beginning.
"What should we do? Damn it! We could have gotten away from here, gotten rid of those terrible magic powers, and no longer have to worry about amnesia. Shouldn't we be happy? But why am I so angry?"
For the first time, Qian Yuefang scratched her hair without caring about her image.
"Ryu, don't you have any way to keep the Earl's Rose Pastry Club alive?"
Jing Fengyin suppressed the sadness in her heart, stabilized her emotions, and took the initiative to ask Xing Yeliu, who had been silent as if he had turned into a stone.
"After my father passed away, Xing Chengshou gradually took away the power of the other members of the Xing family. Although he did not take all the shares and retained a portion, the right to speak for Xinggong Academy is in the hands of people from Xing Chengshou's lineage... The only director who has a say is currently abroad."
After Xing Yeliu finished explaining, he looked out the window and chose a seat to sit down.
Apparently he refused to cooperate and left.
"Xing Yeliu..." Xing Chengshou probably saw that the previous threats didn't work, so he changed his mind and deliberately said something to anger Xing Yeliu, "I want to get rid of Earl Rose for the sake of the Xing family. Alas, your parents died so suddenly! A good bus driver suddenly took a nap and caused your parents to die... Think about it, this may be related to this terrible magic house..."
"boom--"
Xing Yeliu did not get up, but opened a window, picked up a plate on the table and smashed it out.
"There's an attack!"
Xing Chengshou was so scared that he dropped his loudspeaker and immediately lay on the ground, while his men beside him also ran away in fear.
After they realized that Xing Yeliu had only thrown a plate, they became even more angry and embarrassed.
"I'll give you another 10 minutes! When the 10 minutes are up, I'll send people to break into this damn cursed house of yours and take each of you out and teach you a lesson!"
Xingcheng kept the ultimatum.
“Pah—”
Xing Yeliu simply closed the window and lowered the curtains.
"Yin, you leave first and go to the hospital to accompany Meiyin." He looked at Jing Fengyin and said.
"No, let me stay with you for the last 10 minutes." Jing Fengyin shook her head, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Hey, of course I'll come too!" Qian Yuefang sat with them with a smile, "I'm not afraid of any magic or curse! I've been here for so long, and my beauty has never been damaged in the slightest!"
After hearing Qian Yuefang's teasing, Xing Yeliu and Jing Fengyin's expressions also improved a little.
Qian Yuefang’s words suddenly gave me an idea.
"I don't think the Earl's Rose Pastry Club is a cursed place."
I stood next to them and spoke my mind.
Xing Yeliu and the others looked at me in surprise.
"According to rumors, everyone thinks that this mysterious Pastry Club is a deliberate revenge and curse on humans by the betrayed Countess Rose. However, during the time I have been in the Pastry Club, I have tasted so many desserts and entertained so many guests. I have never seen any particularly evil magic, nor have I seen anyone become unfortunate because of Countess Rose...
"Although the members of the West Point Club in the past have lost some of their memories, their bodies and other brain functions have not been affected in any way... Like my parents, they are still living happily...
"Also, I am wearing the love necklace that the first principal Xing Yueming gave to the Countess, and I have not been attacked by any magic here. If the Countess really has a lot of resentment and hatred in her heart, I am afraid that the necklace will not have any effect at all...
"This means that the magic left by the Countess recognizes and protects the person holding the necklace, the necklace that represents her love for the first principal, Mr. Xing Yueming..."
It was as if a voice was speaking these words for me. The more I spoke, the more fluent I became. My mind became very clear. Many unclear clues and details that had not been noticed in the past now emerged one by one.
"So..." I emphasized, raised my head, and slowly scanned the room, "The Earl's Rose Pastry Club is definitely not a cursed place! In my opinion, this should be the place where the Countess's love remains. She left this magic pastry house, and she also wanted it to exist together with the academy founded by her lover."
"Viya..."
"You mean, there has never been any curse here, only love?"
"The Countess's love for the first headmaster?"
They all looked at me in surprise.
I nodded and was about to continue explaining, but unexpectedly -
With a "crash", all the lights that had been extinguished due to the sunrise lit up again. Glowing golden dust floated in the air, and all the ancient decorations and furniture seemed to come alive, shining even brighter .
Especially the circular ceiling in the center of the hall, where there originally was a gorgeous ancient European mural. At this moment, the painting began to spin like a whirlpool, and the black spot in the center slowly grew larger until it filled the entire ceiling.
"what happened?"
We were all stunned and stood up involuntarily.
The noisy sounds outside seemed to be paused, and the interior of the West Point Club became a magical world that was incompatible with the real world.
The image of an elegant lady wearing a long dress in ancient Western European style and a lace hat that covered half of her face appeared from the pattern on the ceiling that looked like a magic circle.
"who is she?"
Qian Yuefang opened her mouth in shock, and Jing Fengyin also looked shocked.
"It's Countess Rose!"
Xingye Liu and I answered in unison.
Xing Yeliu had seen the family records, and I had seen a photo of his wife in the school history museum before.
"It's me, kids..."
The outline of the lady's image was golden, but as blurry as a reflection in the water, and the voice seemed to come from a long distance.
"I am the Countess of Rose, who founded this Magic Pastry Club. I have finally waited for this day when someone can understand the real reason why I left my magic here." The figure continued.
"In the Earl's Rose Pastry Club, there has never been resentment, only love. Although I disappeared due to human conspiracy and betrayal, I don't want to resent humans and the world because of this. What I always remember is the love and tolerance that that person - my husband gave me..."
A faint light emanates from every corner of the West Pastry Club.
"Every part of this house was carefully selected and made by him for me; every rose in the rose garden was planted by him personally. Even after I left, he carefully maintained this house day and night. Even after he passed away, he told his children to continue to maintain this place and take good care of every plant and tree here..."
The voice of the Countess of Rose was like a hymn that cleansed the soul, clearly reaching the ears of each of us.
"I have integrated my last bit of magic into this house, hoping to accompany and protect the academy founded by my beloved husband in this way. If one day someone can truly understand this, it means that a child who can protect this academy in my place has appeared, and my long-cherished wish will be fulfilled...
"I have been waiting for nearly a hundred years..."
The voice sighed, like an aria in a golden hall.
"Child who said that, do you have any wish?"
As we were shocked by the truth revealed by the Countess, the beautiful golden image suddenly looked at me.
My heart trembled, and I looked at the people around me who were looking at me nervously and worriedly. I waved to them, and then replied with a smile: "Thank you, Countess. I don't have any wishes myself. If possible, please help these three people around me! They are the ones who have truly contributed a lot to Earl Rose!"
"Viya, you..."
Jing Fengyin didn't expect me to say that, and Xing Yeliu and Qian Yuefang looked at me blankly, then at the beautiful countess, as if they hadn't reacted yet.
"You are a very good child. Of course, they are also very good. I hope you can help me to continue to protect this academy. As for the thank you gift, I will extract all the remaining magic power here, including the remaining magic power in you, and integrate it into the three magic desserts..."
The golden figure waved his hand, and the remaining three desserts on the long table floated up. Countless small points of light emerged from every corner of the Pastry Club and from each of us, and all merged into the three desserts.
"Come here, children, and make a wish before me. Whoever eats the dessert will have his wish fulfilled."
As if they were in a hallucination, Xing Yeliu and the other two mechanically walked to the three desserts floating in the air and emitting a faint golden light, and made a wish according to the Countess's instructions.
After all this was done, the three desserts fell into the hands of the three of them.
Xing Yeliu was holding white chocolate mousse, Jing Fengyin was holding low-sugar lemon waffles, and Qian Yuefang was holding strawberry and starry sky Thousand Layer Tower.
"The magic of the Earl's Rose Pastry Club no longer exists. Please protect the Star Palace on my behalf. Goodbye, my lovely children!"
The golden figure waved at us and turned around with a smile.
She was radiant with light and disappeared into the swirling magic pattern.
The moment the pattern on the ceiling returned to normal, huge changes also took place in the West Point Club.
That weird feeling is completely gone.
Jing Fengyin, Xing Yeliu, Qian Yuefang, they all took off their masks and did not feel any discomfort.
"Everything just now seemed like a dream..."
Qian Yuefang looked at the ceiling, then at the dessert in her hand, feeling something was unreal.
"My Meiyin is saved..."
Jing Fengyin's face was filled with smile again, and her eyes were shining like stars.
"Great! I said that the Earl's Rose Pastry Club is definitely not a place where people can be unhappy!"
I was sincerely happy for them and very surprised to meet that mysterious and great lady.
"Viya, thank you!"
"Yes, Xiao Wei Ya, you are simply our savior!"
Jing Fengyin and Qian Yuefang looked at me with a smile, and Xing Yeliu took out three dessert boxes, packed the three desserts carefully, and handed them to them, and each of them took one.
"Listen everyone inside, the 10 minutes are up! I won't tolerate it any longer..."
Outside the window, Xing Chengshou's voice could be heard clearly again.
"What now?" I asked.
Xing Yeliu smiled slightly: "I think that Countess Rose should have left some little surprise for our messy principal just now!"
"The last 10 seconds are counted down. You guys rush in right now... 10, 9, 8..."
Before Xing Chengshou finished shouting, the door of the Earl's Rose Pastry Club opened and a group of people filed out.
Jing Fengyin and Qian Yuefang each carried a box of dessert and walked in front, while Xing Yeliu carried the dessert in one hand and held my hand with the other.
My face turned a little red, but Xing Yeliu meant that he was afraid that I would be too slow and fall behind.
But I still blushed.
"Okay, I think you know when to advance and when to retreat."
As we passed by that group of people, Xing Chengshou wiped the sweat from his forehead and glared at us.
We ignored it and left quietly with a relaxed smile.
Soon, a man came stumbling over, holding a cell phone.
"Principal, Principal, something terrible has happened... It has disappeared, it has disappeared..."
"Stop making such a fuss! Tell me more clearly, what disappeared?"
"The building...you, your office building suddenly disappeared..."
"What nonsense are you talking about! How could the building disappear?" Xing Chengshou shouted angrily.
"No, not only your office building, but also the buildings you invested in and built after you took office as the principal... all disappeared! In front of all of us... Principal, look, look..."
The man timidly placed the photo taken with his mobile phone in front of Xing Chengshou.
The location of the principal's office building was now just a bare space.
"How could this happen? Why did my building disappear..."
Xing Chengshou's face turned pale.
The person who reported the news was also trembling with fear. He stammered and finally said in a low voice, "Everyone saw it. Some people said it was a curse on you, the principal..."
"ah--"
Xing Chengshou was so frightened that his legs went limp and he fell to the ground.
"Principal, are we still going in?" the secretary reminded cautiously.
Xing Chengshou glanced at the small building of the Earl's Rose Pastry Club, his body trembled, he immediately got up from the ground and ran away: "Why are you going in! The building has disappeared, it must be the curse here... It's harming me, harming me..."
