Conan Moslin

The sky, which was bright in the morning, was now as thick as ink. The rolling dark clouds were suppressing and sinking, and the air was filled with moisture.

Through the glass of the cake shop, you can see that the footsteps of pedestrians on the gloomy street are becoming more hurried.

The freckled waitress was following the store manager's instructions to light up the Jiamu sign and spread out the red carpet at the door to prevent rain and footprints from dirtying the floor when people came after the rain.

At the door, a blonde waiter was carefully inserting transparent disposable umbrellas one by one into the umbrella rack in front of the door.

The lights in the store were on, attracting many people to come in.

Many people pushed the door open to find a place, while others borrowed an umbrella and then said thank you and left.

Mao Lilan dialed a number with her cell phone, but no one replied for a long time. She looked at the sky, hesitated for a long time, and finally walked back to her seat.

Conan was shaking the iced juice in front of him speechlessly. When he raised his head, he heard Xiaolan's words: "Conan, I'll buy you a piece of cake. You have to stay here obediently. I'll go out to find someone."

She took Conan and ordered a lemon cake. She paid the bill first, took two umbrellas, and said to the waiter who was still standing at the door: "Sorry, I'll be back soon. If you see... please call this number..."

The blonde waiter kept a professional smile on her face as she bowed slightly and said ok.

"Thank you." Mao Lilan smiled gratefully and then left quickly.

Looking at Xiaolan's back as she left, Conan put down the spoon and looked serious.

"If he arrives first, I will use my powers of observation and insight to take a closer look at what kind of person this person is who is meeting you this time..."

creak-

Conan, who was originally sitting on the sofa, immediately knelt up and with some difficulty grasped the edge of the sofa to look towards the door.

"Because there is only one truth..."

The black-haired woman in a beige coat, sunglasses, red lipstick, and an orange-brown scarf around her neck raised her wrist to glance at her watch, and ignoring the waiter's instructions, walked straight to the four-person sofa.

"coffee."

"I want to order some coffee, didn't you hear me?"

"Bring me the coffee now!"

The freckled-faced waiter took a step back unconsciously and bowed while holding the menu in his hand.

"Good... good!"

The blonde waitress quickly came up at the signal of the store manager behind the counter and asked with a smile if they wanted to order other cakes. After all, there were not only coffee and tea here.

"Then... choose the Black Forest..." It was obvious that the woman's tone had softened a lot.

Conan looked at this scene, secretly admired the good service here, and then immediately shook his head.

No, he has something else to do!

An unkempt, mature-looking man walked in with a notebook and a book, touched his head, asked, and chose a quieter seat.

“I’ll have a mocha coffee cake, please.”

"The paper must be written today..."

No, it's not him either... Conan rubbed his hair in confusion and turned to look at the door again.

The burly man walked in with a simple smile on his face, sat down on the round stool at the counter, put his hands on the front of the counter, revealing his left ring finger wrapped in a bandage.

"Hey! Boss——"

"Mr. Dianshan, are you here to order a cake for your wife again? You and your wife are so loving... What happened to your finger?"

"Order a large cappuccino as usual. I'll wait here." Toyama raised his hand. "We were practicing rugby... this finger just happened to eat a radish."

He then laughed heartily: "It's okay, it's just my wedding ring that got stuck."

"welcome--"

It was at this time that Kasi and Shirley arrived.

As soon as he entered the door, Li An saw the head resting on the sofa and the pair of inquiring eyes.

"..."

What a coincidence.

She said why the sky suddenly became so gloomy.

It was probably these fake black-clad accomplices who did it with Conan.

Before Shirley could react, she and Kasi were already sitting in the cake shop filled with sweet aroma.

She also saw the child with a curious look on his face.

That child...she seemed to have seen him somewhere...

The two sat opposite each other, and the smiling waiter immediately and attentively handed them tea and a menu.

Li An, with Castagna's face, tilted his head and looked carefully at the words on the recruitment poster outside the window. He pushed the teacup aside inconspicuously and pushed the menu to Shirley.

"You choose yours."

Shirley looked at the waiter in front of her hesitantly, suppressed the fear in her heart, and then opened the menu.

Li An knocked on the table and turned his gaze to the man who was listening to the customer's order with a smile on his face.

"Please give me a blackcurrant mirror cake." This is Li An.

"I'd like one... tiramisu cake." This is Shirley.

The waiter took notes carefully.

"Another shot of bourbon—"

Shirley's fingers gripping the cup handle tightened unconsciously.

Not far away, Conan's hand that was supporting the sofa loosened, and then he hit his chin with a bang.

Li An glanced at Shirley opposite her and Conan who was rubbing his chin not far away, and continued her order.

“—chocolate cake.”

"I remember that we provide delivery service here. Please make a note of the latter one and have it delivered to this place at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon..."

She didn't mind at all that Shirley beside her and Conan over there heard it, and she spit out an address with a smile.

Upon hearing the address, the blonde waiter, Bourbon, who was recording the order, froze his hand ever so slightly, then nodded naturally.

"Okay, I've got that in mind," he replied.

Conan covered the painful part, but the pounding in his heart gradually subsided.

It was just a normal order, but he overreacted.

Behind the two of them, a long-haired man with a gold chain pushed the door open.

"I made an appointment with a girl here...it seems like she hasn't arrived yet..."

"I'll order a 'Flower Cluster' first, dedicated to the most 'beautiful' her——"

Conan's radar went up and he changed his position and listened carefully.

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on the two girls sitting opposite each other not far away. However, in order to maintain a good image, he quickly restrained himself and retracted his gaze and found a place to sit.

"Hello? I'm Prince Ruo..."

At the same time, the young woman, the mature young man, Shirley, and the burly man went to the bathroom one after another.

"The last time there was an intern at the radio station, there was a pretty girl. There aren't many girls as innocent as her now..."

He glanced at the beautiful young woman left across from him, and his voice trailed off.

"Women are animals. If you say a few nice words to them, then..."

But Conan still heard it.

When the man went to the bathroom, Conan saw a mature woman with brown curly hair and dark purple work uniform walked in.

The waitress with a few cute freckles on her face greeted us with a smile.

"My friend and I agreed to meet here for something..." She looked around but didn't find any familiar figure.

"It looks like she hasn't arrived yet."

"what--!"

A bean-sized raindrop fell down, carried by the spring breeze of April.

With a snap, crystal flowers bloomed on the crimson roof.
