Chapter 4: Love Rival? The Dark Gold Mask That Must Never Be Revealed 4
"Why is your store so weird? You even wear masks. Are you too ugly to show your face to others? Also, the flowers outside are artificial, right? They are so low quality!"
"How come I've never noticed this kind of place in the academy?"
"What? Your crappy shop doesn't even have a menu?"
…
Less than 5 minutes after Xia Lei stepped into the Earl 's Rose Pastry Club, she became the most unwelcome guest in the history of the place.
Even Qian Yuefang, who was usually very generous and enthusiastic towards beautiful women, stayed far away and didn't want to get close at all.
"I say, why did you invite this Rafflesia?"
"You know her, too?"
I asked Qian Yuefang who came close to me and whispered.
"Ryu's number one fan, what kind of president of the fan club... Tsk, he's just a guy who's always a worry!" Qian Yuefang also seemed to have no good feelings towards Xia Lei.
Ever since Xia Lei entered the West Point Club, Xing Yeliu has remained silent. He stood far away in the corner, neither stepping forward nor deliberately avoiding her.
Jing Fengyin was the only one in the entire Western Pastry Club who went to entertain Xia Lei.
"Hello, classmate, what kind of dessert would you like to taste?"
"Is there really not even a menu? How annoying! I shouldn't have come if I had known!" Xia Lei walked around the Pastry Club, muttering to herself as she picked a seat that she thought was the most comfortable and sat down.
"I'm sorry, but we don't have a menu here. But, classmate, you can order any dessert you want, and we will do our best to prepare it for you!"
"Huh! Are you a waiter or a pastry chef here? Why are there so few people serving customers... Uh, that guy handing out flyers over there!"
After Xia Lei looked around, she saw me and immediately called me over.
I followed her reluctantly, thinking to myself that even though I was wearing a mask, I couldn't take any risks. It would be big trouble if Xia Lei recognized me.
I tried to pretend that my facial expression was out of control, and said with a crooked mouth: "Guest, guest, I am here, how can I help you?"
"Why is your mouth like this all of a sudden?"
"I'm sorry, sir. I lose control of my facial expressions from time to time..." I tried hard to maintain a dead fish-like expression and spoke in a very low voice.
"Ah, then stay away from me! Who knows if you have any terrible germs!"
Xia Lei immediately waved her hand in disdain, asking me to leave. Then, she saw two other masked men—
Qian Yuefang, wearing a purple suit, a charming black rose mask, and leaning lazily on a bar; Xing Yeliu, wearing a black dress (I have already returned the clothes to him) and a dark gold mask, is particularly eye-catching.
"Ah, over there, come here—"
Xia Lei's eyes lit up.
My heart skipped a beat and I looked towards the two men.
Qian Yuefang pointed at herself in confusion: "Call me?"
Seeing Xia Lei pointing in this direction, he had no choice but to walk over there. However, his posture was not as charming as before, as if there was a horrible carnivorous plant in the direction he was walking.
Xing Yeliu stood there for a long time, so long that I was nervous and thought he would explode, but I didn't expect him to move anyway.
He also walked in front of Xia Lei.
Xia Lei stared at Xing Yeliu for a long time when he came over. When he came in front of her, she subconsciously restrained her arrogance and spoke more gently: "Are you all the pastry chefs here? Why are you wearing masks? Can you take them off?"
She kept staring at Xing Yeliu.
I have a very uncomfortable feeling in my heart.
"No, this is the rule of our West Point Club. Masks must not be taken off!"
Jing Fengyin probably sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so she stepped forward and politely rejected Xia Lei's proposal.
Xia Lei immediately shifted her focus when she heard this: "How boring. Well, then give me the most expensive dessert in your store. Remember, I only want the most expensive one."
After she finished speaking, she took out a powder from her bag to touch up her makeup.
Xing Yeliu took the lead and walked towards the cooking room.
Jing Fengyin waved at us, and Qian Yuefang and I immediately understood and left.
While the three of them were tinkering with the "most expensive dessert" in the cooking room, I took a rag and pretended to wipe it within two meters away from Xia Lei.
I quietly observed Xia Lei's movements and found that she was chatting with members of the fan club on WeChat.
Ah, I heard Nana mention that the WeChat group name of Xia Lei and her fans’ fan club is “Star Princesses”, a group name that gives me goosebumps when I hear it.
It is said that Nana and Ai Maomao, two gossipy guys, disguised themselves as fans and sneaked in, but they backed out within half an hour.
It is said that in addition to the daily candid photos of Xing Yeliu, there are also various praises for Xia Lei, and whenever Xia Lei is happy with the praises, she will send red envelopes in it.
"If you want me to say something like that, I wouldn't even accept a 100 yuan red envelope!"
"Yeah, it's really disgusting!"
Nana and Ai Maomao talked about it.
Sure enough, I saw a smug smile on Xia Lei's face. Maybe those members in the WeChat group said some flattering words again.
"Well, Xiaoyi did a great job this time! You need to investigate the matter about Lin Weiya for me!"
Suddenly, I heard my own name and involuntarily took two steps towards Xia Lei.
"Yes, that's what we have to do. We must find something to hold against her and drive her away from Senior Xingye Liu!"
"That girl is such an eyesore..."
…
Whenever my name was mentioned, the expression on Xia Lei's face became distorted. If you didn't know better, you would think there was some deep hatred between her and me.
"Good! You filmed Lin Weiya sneaking out of the dormitory every night and disappearing? Well, this is a good clue. I will give you a reward..."
Just as I unconsciously moved closer and closer, the rag in my hand almost fell on Xia Lei, I was so scared that I held my breath and stepped back. Unexpectedly, Xia Lei noticed the movement, she turned around quickly, and found that it was me, frowned and said: "Why are you so clumsy? Didn't I tell you to stay away from me? Really!"
There was a lot of disgust in her tone.
I suppressed my anger and turned my mouth away from her.
When I turned around, I was faced with a wall of flesh.
ah!
It’s Xingye Liu!
There was also Qian Yuefang who took out her cell phone and took a secret photo of me, and Jing Fengyin who was holding a dessert covered with a lid and smiling mysteriously.
"Ah, you guys finished it so quickly?"
"Of course. She said it so casually, so we just did it casually."
Qian Yuefang whispered to me and made a gesture to keep quiet.
I couldn't help but shrug and snicker.
"So what dessert did you make?" I pointed to the mysterious tray in Jing Fengyin's hand.
What is the most expensive dessert at Earl Rose Pastry Shop?
"You'll know when the time comes."
Jing Fengyin kept the question in suspense .
