Since it was to buy desserts, Chino must have gone to Arya's dessert shop.

In fact, there are many famous dessert shops in Twilight City, since Chino became the administrator, the city's governance has become more and more orderly, coupled with various tax incentives and policy support, attracting many talents to settle in, including chefs from inland provinces or foreign countries, their craftsmanship is extremely exquisite, and the desserts they make are naturally top-notch.

But food is actually the same thing as love.

The girl with the most beautiful and hottest body may not be your favorite type.

Compared to the big stars on TV, you may still prefer the big sister next door who smiles sweetly at you every day.

The same is true for desserts, where Arya's skills are certainly not as good as those of top chefs, but Chino prefers the natural sweetness of her home to those desserts that are a little exaggerated.

In the dessert shop, Arya was kneading dough, and as soon as she saw Chino coming, she jumped out of the door with joy: "Lord Administrator, I haven't seen you for a long time, you haven't been here for a week!" I dreamed of you last night~"

Chino smiled friendlyly: "I've been a little busy these days, so I haven't had time to patronize business. Trouble to come to two catties of egg yolk crisp, one catty of conventional, one catty of special. Thank you. ”

"Wait a minute, the egg yolk crisp has just been sold, I'll bake it for you now." Aria invited Chino to sit down, brought the complimentary tea and pastries, and then went into the kitchen, skillfully mixing the ingredients, quickly making the original solution, shaping it, and putting it in the oven to bake.

Arya washed her hands, sat down opposite Chino, held her face and smiled: "It will be baked in 8 minutes, please be patient~"

Chino: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. ”

Arya asked curiously, "Did you actually ask for a regular one today, did you bring it to others?" Or the last mentioned guest? ”

Chino nodded: "Yes, she is still young, and eating too much sugar is not good for her health, so I don't plan to let her eat the special version." ”

"Wow, it's so gentle and caring~" Arya gently pushed the tray in front of her forward, "Come, gentle administrator, eat some pastries to fill your stomach first." ”

Chino picked up the pastry and took a bite, couldn't help nodding, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "I have heard a saying before - if you want to lock a man's heart, you must first lock a man's stomach - which man marries you in the future must be his blessing." ”

Arya had a crimson on her face, her lips pursed, her eyes dodging from side to side, and she smirked sweetly from time to time.

Chino glanced at the empty dessert shop and casually asked, "I don't see other men every time I come, are you single?" ”

Arya brushed her hair behind her ears and nodded slightly, "Yes, I... I haven't been in a relationship yet..."

Chino's eyes widened suddenly: "Impossible, right?" You're such a beautiful girl, and you're such a good cook, no man likes you? Are all the men in Twilight blind? ”

Arya held her little face, shook her head from side to side, and said slowly: "Actually, when I was very young, there was a little boy next door who said that he would marry me in the future, but this was just a joke from childhood. Later, when I grew up, there were many people who confessed to me, but I was always single because I didn't meet anyone I really liked. ”

Chino: "Didn't you think about talking to someone first?" ”

Arya shook her head very firmly: "No, no, no, love is such a thing, you can't say that you can make do with one and talk about it, but you have to like it wholeheartedly." If you don't like it that much, you'd rather wait for the next one than compromise. This is my bottom line, and I can't let up easily. ”

"Therefore, even if a man confesses to me, I will clearly refuse after making it clear. Otherwise, it is not only undisciplined, but also irresponsible to each other. ”

"I admire your view of love." Chino is not polite, but a heartfelt approval.

Arya's concept of love is very common in modern times, and it is not unusual, but in the feudal era of this old-fashioned concept, the concept of love can still be so upright, and she can be regarded as "outlier".

Arya was very happy when she was complimented, she couldn't hide it, two small dimples appeared on her cheeks, she pursed her lips, and her eyes drifted a little: "Actually, don't look at me like this, I'm quite timid in this regard." If I like someone, I'm the type who always pretends to be stupid, doesn't dare to say it openly, and only dares to hint quietly..."

Chino suddenly asked curiously, "Oh? Do you have someone you like now? ”

"I won't tell you~ Anyway... It's someone from your house anyway..."Arya stole a glance at Chino, her eyes bowing in confusion.

Chino was eating the egg tart just now, and he didn't notice Arya's eyes, he raised his head and thought about it, and said tentatively: "Lugo seems to come to this dessert shop often, the person you like is Lugo?" ”

"Poof~" Arya was directly amused, "How is that possible?" I don't like Lugo's rough guys! I like it... Delicate boys... The young kind..."

Chino thought for a moment and clapped his hands vigorously: "Baixa!" He was the youngest of my officers, and he was so skilled in archery that every time he went to shoot at the stall, he attracted the admiration and cheers of many girls. Do you like Baixa? Do you need me to introduce you to each other? ”

Arya couldn't laugh or cry, she lowered her head, her voice as soft as a fawn: "I mean... Younger... than me... The kind that's smaller than me..."

"Your Excellency, Administrator." A soldier suddenly walked up to the table and said to Chino, "Your Excellency Inquisitor has a few cases that I don't know how to decide, and I would like you to invite you to his house for dinner in the evening and discuss them together." The time is set at 6 p.m., is it convenient for you to see? ”

Chino nodded: "Okay, got it, I'll be over on time." ”

After the soldier left, Chino looked at Arya, "I'm sorry, what did you just say?" ”

"Nothing... It's nothing..."Arya kept her head down and kept rubbing the corners of her clothes, a little overwhelmed, but luckily the alarm clock went off quickly, giving her something to do.

Arya went to pack the freshly baked egg yolk crisp and handed it to Chino, her tone full of the tenderness of the big sister: "Come, a pound of conventional, a pound of customization." The custom-made one was made with two egg yolks each, the sugar was replaced with honey, and most importantly—"

"No sesame seeds!"

After Chino finished paying, he took the egg yolk crisp and smiled at Arya: "Thank you for being careful." ”

Chino was about to leave when a sudden call came from behind him: "Chino..."

This was the first time Arya called his name.

It was already evening, and the last rays of the sunset fell on Aria's face, illuminating the longing in her eyes, but in the end, she still didn't have the courage to say what was in her heart, and couldn't help but chuckle, and her soft voice was like the evening wind: "I said that I dreamed of you last night, it's true." ”

Chino blinked, "Well, I believe it." ”

As the sun sets, Arya watches Chino's departing figure until he fades out of sight.
