After waiting in line for half an hour, they finally entered the popular pastry shop.
The cake Ran mentioned, which is extremely delicious, is called honey cake.
Lin Yi looked at it and thought, isn't this the traditional cake from the Wanwan region?
However, this honey cake is an evolved version of the traditional cake.
It is not like the traditional cake, which is simply a piece of cake.
This one is divided into two halves, with a layer of fresh cream as the filling in the middle.
This honey cake is much softer than the traditional cake.
Lin Yi shook the plate a little, and the honey cake started to move, almost like gelatin.
Lin Yi took a bite with the spoon.
"Mm... this bread is really soft."
This left Lin Yi amazed; it's much better than the desserts in those luxury restaurants.
Expensive doesn't always mean delicious, as in high-end restaurants, the price of desserts is not determined only by their taste.
It also depends on the restaurant's level of decoration, the staff's attitude, and the elegance of the environment.
Eating in a luxury restaurant is not just about the food, it's about the atmosphere, about romance.
The most important thing is that in these places, they provide you with a peaceful space to talk and connect.
If you eat in lower-level places, it wouldn't be rare to have noise or even people walking by constantly.
This can create significant obstacles for communication.
But since Ran and the others are here to enjoy the food, they don't mind the noise.
Ran also served herself a spoonful to try, and after tasting it, a huge smile of satisfaction appeared on her face: "This cake is so soft... it's like eating air."
Yoshino also took a bite and, curiously, commented: "When it reaches your mouth, the cake seems to open up by itself... how do they make this cake? It's delicious!"
Listen to this, this is what we call a professional food review, you can tell they are not novices in the world of desserts.
"It's delicious! I'm going to take another bite."
Ran, excited, took another spoonful and brought it to her mouth, showing great happiness.
"Me too."
Yoshino took another bite as well.
They said they would only take one bite, but they took more.
After finishing this bite, they both set their spoons aside at the same time.
This is what impressed Lin Yi, that despite how delicious the cake was, they managed to resist the temptation to eat it all.
Look, even beautiful girls must strictly control their food intake.
A person's willpower can be seen in their figure.
While eating, they naturally began to talk about some gossip.
Especially about the variety show Lin Yi had recently participated in.
"Hey, Yi, I saw the detective show you were in! You were amazing!"
Ran didn't spare any praise, and it wasn't an exaggeration, but genuine admiration.
"Actually, I didn't want to appear... This could bring a lot of problems to my life. But Uncle Mouri wanted to test me... and I couldn't refuse."
Lin Yi said, resigned.
If Mouri Kogoro had been able to solve the logical puzzles by himself, Lin Yi wouldn't have had to steal the spotlight.
But seeing that he didn't seem very bright, Lin Yi had to step in to maintain Mouri Kogoro's image as a detective.
What happened is that as Mouri Kogoro's reputation grew, his social status also rose, allowing him to interact with more people.
And now, he could even meet with company presidents, have drinks with them, and exchange business cards.
This, in the past, would have been unthinkable for Mouri Kogoro.
As Mouri Kogoro got closer to the elite of society, Lin Yi also had the opportunity to meet more attractive, high-quality women.
"I saw a lot of comments... they all said your assistant is very handsome and very smart. They want your Instagram."
Yoshino said enthusiastically.
The more talented Lin Yi is, the more correct she feels about having chosen him.
The more successful her boyfriend is, the prouder she feels, sharing both successes and failures.
Of course, this is also part of the "riding the wave" phenomenon.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in showing my personal life."
Lin Yi shook his head. He doesn't like sharing his private life with others.
He doesn't want to become a public figure because once you do, you have a public image to maintain.
If you don't maintain it, situations like Lin Yi having several girlfriends at the same time would be revealed by people, which would surely cause outrage.
All kinds of insults would start to appear, and some might even act irrationally out of jealousy, perhaps even trying to harm him.
Being a public figure just isn't worth it.
It's better to be a low-profile man, a charming playboy.
After talking a bit about Lin Yi's appearance on the show, the two girls naturally changed the topic to talk about the killer Takashi Matsuo.
"I can't believe it... Takashi Matsuo was the killer!"
"Yes, he seemed so honest... I didn't imagine he would do something like that..."
"Miss Yoko worked with him for so long, lucky nothing happened to her."
"Having someone like that nearby... really scary."
"..."
Once they started talking about gossip, they both immersed themselves in the topic, their eyes shining and talking nonstop.
As one of the people involved, Lin Yi, of course, knew many of the internal details that the TV networks hadn't reported, so he naturally joined in the gossip conversation.
There have always been many people who, although they enjoy gossip, often feel uncomfortable about it.
Although they like gossip, deep down, they feel vaguely that it's shallow or uninteresting.
In reality, what many consider vulgar or uninteresting are actually impressions that one imposes on oneself.
Gossip has never been vulgar.
To prove this claim, it's actually quite simple, just understand the essence of gossip.
What is the essence of gossip?
It's a form of information exchange, is information exchange vulgar?
On the contrary, information exchange is very important. Through this exchange, we can expand our vision and learn useful information for ourselves.
Information exchange has nothing to do with vulgarity; it simply divides into useful and useless.
Let's take a typical example,
Like Baoqiang's divorce, which was a scandal a few years ago.
Was this gossip big? Everyone was basically talking about it.
When people gossip about things like this, they tend to relate it to their own lives, wondering if their wives might be having an affair, or how they would handle a similar situation.
Of course, you can also use gossip to get a sense of people's morality and thoughts.
Continuing with the example of Baoqiang's divorce.
If you talk about this with your friends, you're sure to get many different opinions.
Some will be enjoying the scandal, others will want the situation to worsen even more, some will see it as something sad, and others will even start insulting, saying things like "he deserves it" or "he's a wicked person."
Through their opinions, it's easy to see what kind of people they are, what kind of values they have, and whether they are trustworthy.
So, gossip isn't something shameful or vulgar.
In fact, gossip can be the best way to get closer to a girl.
If the girl you like doesn't show interest in you, you can become her close friend, her "blue friend," and when the opportunity arises... you can make that blue turn green.
