Yu Yi was sitting behind his office desk, his head bowed as he perused a document. Upon hearing someone enter, he lifted his head to see who had entered.
In nearly a split second, Tang Mi's gaze was seized by those deep, black eyes.
She didn't know how to describe her feelings upon seeing Yu Yi for the first time. If she had insisted on describing it, she would have said that he was like a tranquil valley—quiet, serene, remote—people were unable to pull their gazes away.
"Please sit."
The ice-cold and emotionless voice was like the wind blowing through the mountains while the graceful, glimmering sunlight sprinkled down at the moment when dawn broke through the mist.
Tang Mi discovered, for the first time, that her poetry and language skills were exquisite.
She walked up to Yu Yi, slightly cautious, and sat across from him. She offered him a smile. Yu Yi's gaze rested on her for a moment before it shifted to the small cake boxes she had set on his desk.
Tang Mi followed his gaze to the desk. She suddenly realized that the document Yu Yi had previously been reading was her CV.
...
In that split second, Tang Mi felt like she was doomed. Pinned to the top of her CV was her portrait! Oh no, attached to the back of the CV was a photocopy of her ID!
She was unexpectedly defenseless against this Adonis-like man looking at her ID photo. Tang Mi wanted to cover her face in shame.
"You made the pastries in these boxes?"
Yu Yi's voice suddenly rang out from across her, startling Tang Mi's soul into returning. "Yes! My teacher once said, 'For pastries, everything must be perfect; even the cake box is an important aspect.'"
Yu Yi didn't say anything and just straightforwardly opened the small cake box.
The first box contained the white chocolate mousse cake. It was decorated in a classic black-and-white design with two cherries on the top, emanating a clean-cut and sharp aura.
Yu Yi didn't copy the restaurant manager of 『 Sweet Dream 』, who had crafted a long, elegant point-by-point commentary on the cake's design. He didn't even make a single noise, directly picking up a knife to cut a small slice of the cake.
Tang Mi nervously watched as he slightly opened and closed his lips. His lips were a light color, his lip line smooth and beautiful. Tang Mi unknowingly began fantasizing——what would he taste like if they kissed? Would he taste even more delicious than cake?
After Yu Yi finished eating the slice of mousse cake, he picked up a glass of plain water and drank a mouthful. He opened the second box.
The second box contained dual-colored biscuits; they were small, simple French biscuits. Tang Mi watched Yu Yi's beautiful lips bite crisply into the biscuit, inducing her imagination to roam wild once more.
Yu Yi still hadn't made any comments. He drank another mouthful of plain water before beginning to taste-test the final dish——the chocolate.
Tang Mi had made wine-infused chocolates, three different flavored versions altogether.
Before biting into the wine-infused chocolate delight, it was impossible to guess what flavor it was. Tang Mi looked forward to seeing a surprised expression on Yu Yi's face. Even though he had slightly wrinkled his eyebrows, Yu Yi's face still didn't show any expressive reactions.
