Pleasant times always fly by. Yang Yiming and Meritis were eating and chatting, and more than two hours had passed since the meal. After eating their own meals, at nine o'clock, some of the diners in the restaurant left after eating, and the voices were much lighter than when they were lively, the manager dimmed the lights of the restaurant in a timely manner, and the music sounded in the soft yellow light, and the desserts ordered by Yang Yiming and Meritis were also served.

"Wow, I'm running out of food. But looking at it makes me want to eat it! Meritis habitually pinned the hairpin behind her ear, waving her right hand excitedly, her eyes shining. In front of her lay a milky cheese pudding on a snow-white porcelain plate, which could be broken by blowing, and the pudding was covered with bright red strawberry jam.

"Eat, I know you can't help it." Yang Yiming was amused by her cute appearance, and said, "Destroying the food is the greatest respect for their souls!" I remember you telling me that. ”

"Then I'll wait for you to kill its soul first." Meritis pointed to the chocolate lava cake on the plate in front of Yang Yiming's eyes. Underneath the unsightly folded cocoa-colored puff skin, invisible to the naked eye, this dessert undoubtedly has a hot heart. Whoever peels back its skin first will get a sneak peek of the rock lava.

"I can kill this killer first, anyway, it will be you who will end it in the end."

"What, you've only taken one bite again?"

"It's a big exception today, chocolate lava cake!" Yang Yiming added accents to the words "melt" and "rock" respectively, "You know, when I was in the Chinese training team in the past, even if I ate a snack of cream puffs, I had to hang it upside down and eat a whip when the coach found out!" ”

"I always feel that the experiences you have described to me in China are all made up by you. Where in the world is there such an inhumane training method? In this regard, Meritis once again demonstrates her unique and even beyond American optimism.

"What do you think - this is the devil's training, which creates the devil player." Yang Yiming originally wanted to boast, but for some reason he remembered Donovan Mitchell. "Devil's Training" and "Devil's Player": He shakes his head to taunt his nervousness, and uses a dessert spoon to block Meritis's outstretched spoon, as if declaring sovereignty: "My prey, let me get this first knife first!" ”

"Haha, naïve!"

Yang Yiming inserted the delicate and shiny small-handled spoon into the belly of the lava cake like a scalpel, tore it out, and pulled it down, and the dark brown and steaming chocolate sauce was like lava spit out of a volcanic crater, slowly overflowing onto the clean plate, swallowing up a part of the white.

"I can't wait for you, I'll taste the first bite first." Unexpectedly, Yang Yiming was still immersed in the joy of "disemboweling" and couldn't spare time, Meritis on the other side of the table had already dug up the "corpse" of the first cake with a spoon, scraped it full of lava sauce, and put it in his mouth. "Wow, that's delicious."

Yang Yiming hurriedly took a second bite. Wow, the thick and smooth, cocoa-flavored lava and chocolate cake crust are layered in flavor due to the different textures, from loose to dense, from shallow to deep, which is really delicious. It's no wonder that no matter how much they eat at the main meal, they still have to taste a high-quality dessert at the end to sublimate it.

No wonder...

"No wonder others say that the food is more fragrant?!" Meritis smiled and said what was on his mind.

"I'm sorry, but this is a private dining area, so it may not be convenient for you to come there."

Yang Yiming and Meritis were dividing up the last remaining desserts when they heard a speech coming from the direction of the dining hall in the hall. A group of people were negotiating, their decibel was quite at odds with the quiet atmosphere of the restaurant, only to hear another man say, "We're definitely not going to disturb him." You see that we are all Chinese, and I will explain clearly to Mr. Yang that we have no other malicious intentions. ”

"Yes, yes, we're his fans, let's get over it. We just wanted to take a picture together. ”

"Not really, this is a private dining room, and we need to keep our guests comfortable - please don't touch me, take your hands off, sir!"

Yang Yiming heard the man in the shout, it was the welcoming manager with a slight Italian accent who led him in. He was about to get up to take a look, but he saw a small Asian girl, who poked out half of her head and saw them. The girl's hair is a short neck-length hair typical of Asian girls, she has a small round face, a small nose and small eyes, but the eyes are extremely large, and the eyelashes are very long, like the shadow cast by the crater on the moon. She wore a nude gauze skirt, and her skin was very white, white than the porcelain plate with dessert on the table. A pair of maroon ballet flats is the only color of the jump. She spread her hands and looked at the two boys who had a dispute with the welcome manager, and then at Yang Yiming and Meritis, showing a very innocent expression.

"Yes, no, up." Girls lip sync.

Listening to the noisy and noisy three people over there, but there was such a lovely girl hidden behind him, Yang Yiming was suddenly a little cramped and didn't know how to deal with it.

"Are the two of them your friends?" Mereditis also saw her, and actually answered first. She asked, gesturing to the two boys. The girl nodded vigorously, and her short hair fluttered on her little face.

"Hey, that's okay, you come here with your friends." Meritis stopped the welcome manager, who was still entangled, and beckoned the girl and her friend and said, "It's okay, they just want to take a group photo, it won't affect us too much." And if you stop here and make a noise, it will make other guests feel irritated. You said yes, Yiming, it's OK to take a group photo, right? ”

Meritis's face was slightly drunk and red because he drank two glasses of red wine during the banquet, but he didn't know if it was because he was looking at her or being asked this question, Yang Yiming felt that his face was also red:

“OK… bar..."

"Really?" The little girl took a step forward: "I'm really sorry, I'm also a fan of yours, but I don't really want my friends to come in and disturb you - I'm really sorry to interrupt your date." ”

"Yes, yes, we are the hardcore of you and Rocket!"

"I really can't help it, so I must rush in and try my luck!" The two boys broke free from the manager's embrace and jumped in front of the girls again.

"It's okay, we've really finished eating anyway." Meritis walked around the boys in the way and showed the girls the empty plates. She seemed to like this uninvited guest very much, and she directly stretched out her hand to pull her: "Come and take a picture together, we are also bored." Manager, can you please help us clean up the table and take a picture for me? ”

"Good!" The welcome manager was very professional, and his attitude changed 180 degrees and became very fast.

"Then let's take a look at how to sit after taking pictures. Otherwise, the two boys will be next to me, and the girl will sit on Yiming's side. Then we'll go to the left side, and you'll go to the right side, so it's just an arc, and you can shoot it all in. ”

"Ah, am I sitting next to Yiming? That's not quite right. The girl put her right index finger to her lips, too shy to move.

"Well, it's all right. My name is Meritis and your name is...? Meritis saw that the girl was hesitant, so she got up from her chair and put her hand in front of her.

"Ahh Hello! My name is Chen Ruoya, and my English name is Lynn..."The girl Chen Ruoyan hurriedly took her right hand off her mouth, rubbed it lightly on the gauze skirt, and then held it with her, "Nice to meet you..."

"Nice to meet you too! YOU'RE A NICE NAME, RUO-LING. Sit down—" Meritis pressed her butt against the empty seat beside Yang Yiming, and said:

"Get ready, we're going to take pictures right away."
